You’re Killing Me, Celebrities
I know there are way more important things going on in the world that I could/should be writing about but commenting on celebrity gossip is so much more fun.
Here are just a few things that caught my attention this week that I just couldn’t ignore.
_____________________________________________________
I was all set to watch the MTV special “Britney: For The Record” that airs tonight at 10pm until I read that she insulted Katie Holmes’ fashion sense in the documentary.
While out shopping with her assistant she holds up a blouse and says,“Look, this is very mommy.”
Her assistant replies, “It’s very ugly.”
Britney wrinkles her nose and laughs, “It is very Katie Holmes.”
What?!
How could someone that has worn such ridiculous outfits as these in the past insult someone as classy as Katie Holmes?
I was all set to get on a plane and head off to L.A. (Los Angeles) or LA (Louisiana) or wherever the hell she is right now and give her a piece of my mind, but then I decided that I’ll let this one slide because Britney must have made that comment after seeing Katie wearing this get-up:
A lot of people focused on how cute/creepy Suri looks in her sunglasses but I can’t seem to take my eyes of that dress/skirt/thing Katie is wearing. It is just awful:
Now, don’t get me wrong, it is still a WHOLE LOT BETTER than those trashy whore costumes that Brit wears but still. Ick! Katie, please refrain from wearing this sort of atrocity in the future. You don’t want to make Britney sound like she actually knows what she is talking about.

While we are on the subject of the Cruises, a lot has been said about the lack of a coat in many pictures of Suri these past couple of months.
If you’ve ever been to NYC in the fall/winter, you know that it is really cold and that you need to dress for the weather. I think this photo from Perez Hilton says it all:
I was all set to get on the “Save Suri” bandwagon until I read excerpts from an interview that Tom Cruise did where he calls his daughter “strong-willed” and although he doesn’t mention the coat, he does say that she refuses to wear pants. He says:
“I put a pair of pants on [her] and as soon as I walk out, the pants are off and a dress is on.”
Doesn’t it look like she is trying to take the coat off in these pictures from Thanksgiving?
When my son was a toddler, he had a lot of issues with clothes. They had to fit just right and God forbid that I forgot to take the tag out of them. The change of seasons was especially hard. Going from shorts to pants or long sleeves to short sleeves always led to the inevitable meltdown.
I did try to ignore a lot of the fits, but there came a point that Mom and Dad knew best and we just made him wear the clothes that were appropriate for the season. Eventually (after a few days) he got used to wearing the new attire and stopped fussing about them.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that I think I understand the lack of coat pictures and I feel for Tom and Katie, but at the same time I think they need to step up and just make Suri wear the damn coat.
So what do you think? Do you fight the coat battle with your kids? Should parents make their kids wear a coat when it is freezing out or should we just do the natural consequence thing and let them get cold enough until they ask for it?

Speaking of covering up, there seems to be a new trend cropping up of celebrities urinating outdoors. First, it was Prince William (Click here if you want to see the pictures, but BEWARE-they are not safe for work!! But you know you want to click. I mean how often do you get to see a Prince’s penis? Too bad it wasn’t Harry’s.) and now it seems as though Marky Mark Wahlberg can’t seem to hold it.
The star was caught by the paparazzi peeing against a wall.
Prince William was at least peeing in what looks like some sort of rural setting , but it appears Marky Mark is in a city. There have got to be bathrooms around somewhere.
Is it just me or is this a bit rude?

Joaquin Phoenix has been really pushing my buttons lately.
First, he made the depressing announcement that he was leaving acting to pursue music.
If you didn’t see it, you MUST watch this video. It is almost as awkward and absurd as a scene from The Office.
As I mentioned before this initially upset me, but then I couldn’t help but think about him performing sexy, bluesy-type numbers looking like he did in his Walk the Line days.
I actually started to get excited about the potential for all the hotness that might arise from these new developments.
I really did want to give him the benefit of the doubt and be a supportive fan, but he is just making it so damn hard.
Take this picture of him saying “Bye!Good” as a perfect example:
The guy just seems a bit lost.
The final nail in the “sexy musician fantasy” coffin was hammered in today after I read the story of his first performance. I have been sitting here shaking my head ever since.
It seems as though Joaquin is going in a different direction from what I was hoping.
Brace yourselves.
If you are eating, you may want to swallow first.
Seriously, you really should sit down for this.
Are you ready?
Here it is…
Joaquin Phoenix wants to be a rapper.
Apparently, he showed up at a club last week and surprised the crowd with an impromptu rap performance.
It’s like he took the fantasy right out of my head and threw it on the ground and stomped all over it.
Why must he be a rapper? Why must he look like a drunk lumberjack? Why are you doing this to me, Joaquin. This is not what I envisioned.
I have no other words for this. Do you have words? I just need someone to tell me how this scenario will not be as awful as I’m imagining it will be.

Wow!! I think we may be sisters… you think the same way I do.
First off, Britney… what a tramp… you just can’t take the white trash out of the girl…
Second, I feel so bad for Suri… I have certain feelings about Tom and Katie that I just can’t repeat here… all I can say is suck it up as a parent and make your kid wear a coat… when it’s cold it’s cold… and this is how it starts when your raising spoiled brats… I’ve seen it before!!!
Third, I always had the hots for Mark Wahlberg, but peeing on a wall in a city where there are tons of toilets… that’s just trashy and my fantasies of him will now be no more thanks to that image…
Fourth, Joaquin… I’m so sad… like you, I could have taken the whole country music, bluesy thing, but rap??? Can you say Vanilla Ice??? Oh, my heart is broken today…. But on the up side, I saw a Princes royal penis… don’t see those at Disney World!!!

There is no fight over coats with my son but SHOES, oh god shoes. It gets ugly. And I’ve had people comment, “Where are his shoes?” Not so much this year as last, because he’d kick them off the second we got in the store and they’d end up in the shopping cart, etc. This year they are never on in the car or at home, but when we’re out he keeps them on – nice of him, huh?
I think Katie Holmes is awesome and I normally try to be relatively supportive of Brit, but trashing Katie? She needs to get over herself.
[Reply]
First, I actually like Katie’s dress. Compared to a lot of her other outfits recently, this one isn’t actually that bad. I probably would’ve liked it better in the summer with a pair of wedges though, rather than boots and a sweater. Second, Joaquin…. yes, very upset and now my fantasies of him on my Top 5 are over. UGH, who will he be replaced with??? Oh, nevermind, Robert Pattinson of course!
[Reply]
Why is it that having a few successful blockbusters under your belt (or an outrageously famous spouse) suddenly grants you the right to dress like you’re color blind, and mentally ill? It’s just not cool, and seems like a cry for attention. We get it Britney, you’re SO post-modern, you’ve moved beyond orthodox clothing standards.
And I, like you, am annoyed with Joaquin. He’s a terrifically talented actor. He should flaunt what he’s got, and I don’t think he has the muscial chops to back up his new career choice.
[Reply]
LOL! Okay, I’m gonna go on record as saying that I CAN’T STAND Katie Holmes or Tom Cruise. It’s like they’re from another planet. I just don’t get them. But Suri is adorable (irritating name and all) so I agree, just put a coat on the kid and move on.
As for Joaquin Phoenix, um… Maybe he’s researching a role? Is he planning on playing Matthew McConaughey in some upcoming biopic so he’s trying to do as much as possible to seem drugged out and erratic? I guess we’ll know if he turns up playing bongos naked in his front yard…

This post is chock full of goodness and celebrity juiciness.
I love it.
Please DO MORE!!! You are so good at this!!! Perez Hilton, watch out.
[Reply]
Yeah… I think Joaquin has always been a little off his rocker. He looks totally stoned in that video.
Suri sounds like she just doesn’t care to wear a coat which I totally get.
Thank you for posts like this, otherwise I would never get any celebrity “dirt”
Oh and Brittany, just yuck.
[Reply]
The “‘Bye Good totally killed me. I’m so sick of Britney and TomKat. And the royal penis? What’s with the two finger hold?
[Reply]
1. make the kid wear the damn coat. who’s the boss here???
2. why do men always pee AGAINST something? why not just pee?
[Reply]
Oh, Brit. I’m working on a post about that poor girl right now.
Suri and the coat — I never noticed it before, but now that you mention it, I realize she never is wearing a coat. I can totally understand it, though. You gotta choose your battles and is putting the coat on really a hill you want to die on? When she gets cold enough, she’ll ask for the coat. I can’t see fighting it.
And the whole peeing on the wall thing. Are you kidding me? Absolutely unbelievable. Would it have killed him to find a bathroom?!?
[Reply]
So I want to take a peek at Prince Wiliiams willie… innocent enough right? … but then your link leads me to a sinful gay porn site with pee pees as far as the eye could see (not that I looked) Good thing everyone else is asleep.
[Reply]
I agree- that dress is horrid. I think you might have a point with the coat battle thing. My daughter is a lot like that too.
Are we sure Mark was actually peeing? Why doesn’t the wall or the ground look wet? Just looks like he turned around to glare at the idiots taking his picture to me. Not completely convinced that was Will’s “business” either. He didn’t look like a man caught in action to me at all…and that photo is mighty blurry! Certainly LOOKS like he’s hanging on to a l’il sumthin’ there- but it also looks doctored to me.
[Reply]
OH DEAR GOD. WHY GOD WHY. This is the first I had heard of the Joaquin Phoenix rapping ambition and MOTHER OF GOD, WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
I totally agree with you on all of the above points, especially re: children wearing coats. Tom Cruise may not be a large man but he can certainly overpower his preschool-age daughter and MAKE her wear a coat, I would think. My rule of thumb is, if it is cold enough for ME to wear a coat (as he and Katie both were in those pics) then the kids need coats too.

Britney was just on prime time TV here last Saturday singing live, oh except she was totally and obviously miming. They spoke to her for a minute or two after and every response was ‘That’s awesome’ or ‘It’s awesome’ someone get that girl a thesaurus for Christmas.
[Reply]
Sorry, I know i’m totally behind on your posts… I’m scrambling to catch up! Darn visiting relatives! (I’m totally kidding, I love my family)
This post is hilarious. I hadn’t heard too much on the whole Joaquin thing other than that he was “retiring”. Man oh man. The drunk lumberjack description is perfect. And drunk is what he must be majority of the time. Me thinks someone needs to back off the drugs and alcohol just a tad…
So sad. He had me hooked through through most of his movies… but this little ol fish ain’t following him through music/rapper-land. Nope, no-way, uh-uh.
