Celebrity Babies are sooooo 2009

The late 2000's were most definitely the year of the celebrity baby. Suri, Shiloh, Violet, Harlow, Bronx, Apple........ the list is long and varied. The names ranged from the traditional - Grace Charlotte Prinz (daughter of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr) to the different - Satyana Denisof (daughter of Alyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof) to the downright wacky - Sparrow (son of Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden). I am not judging the names - simply pointing out that they are not the names that regular folks like you and I would give our children.

But that is so completely passe. Did you notice, that even this early in 2010, celebrity engagements seem to be the the new celebrity babies.

According to US Weekly Russel Brand and Katy Perry got engaged while on a romantical vacation in India. While no official confirmation has come from either of the 2 stars, the magazine claims that multiple sources have confirmed to them that they are betrothed. The two have had a quick courtship if it is true! They only started dating a few months ago but seem pretty happy.

Just before Christmas, country superstar Carrie Underwood got engaged to Mike Fisher from the Ottawa Senators. The notoriously press shy couple's engagement was inadvertently announced by one of Mikes friends to the Twitter world. Carrie's publicist has since confirmed the engagement. This couple is so low key, that there are only a handful of pics of them together. Underwood is quite a traditional small town girl. I suspect her wedding will be big big big... just like the massive rock she is sporting!

Finally, People.com is reporting that shock rocker Marilyn Manson popped the question to girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood. Though the two have a tumultuous on again off again relationship and have only been back together for a shot while Manson supposedly proposed while performing on stage in Paris. While I personally don't get the attraction to Manson, Wood is not a silly girl. I like to think the True Blood star would not be hoodwinked by a slick line. Sigh. I was happy when I thought she was dating her co-star Alexander Skarsgard. They fight and break up every few months so we shall see what happens.

And don't even get me started on Miley Cyrus blabbing off how she can't wait to get married and have babies (her christian code for the sex). Does she think she is fooling anyone? Any teenage who knows how to work a pole like she did at the VMA's last year, certainly knows how to work poles of a different kind as well.

Statistically if all four of these couples tie the knot, half of them will end in divorce. But given they are all under the Hollyweird spotlight - I would up that to three out of four! At least. No matter how golden and perfectly suited they may seem. Remember Brad and Jen? THE Perfect couple. Yea, it was five years ago today they announced their split. Brad moved on to start a small country with Angie, while Jen is still trying to find a role that is not Rachel Greene.

Lilo has a new Man?

I have often likened Lindsay Lohan to former train wreck Robert Downey Junior in that she will one day pull herself out of the gutter and become something more than a joke in Hollyweird. I think she has the potential to be a decent actress and unlike some of her current contemporaries in the tabloids (Paris Hilton, any Kardashian) I think she has actually contributed to the world with her craft as opposed to sapping the life force and IQ points from anyone that they encounter.

Unfortunately, I may need to rethink this position. I Know Who Killed me was on TV last night. And I cannot recall when I have seen such unmitigated crap before. And not only the ludicrous story. The acting was also pretty dismal. Actually it was beyond pretty dismal. At least Lindsay got in some practice on a stripper pole right? Cause the way things are going for her, she may be looking at an alternate career in the next few years.

I follow Lilo on the Twitter. Mainly for the Lulz. Most of her recent tweets have been pretty innocuous. The crack tweets that provide so much fodder for the bloggers have been few and far between in the past couple of weeks. But her random tweets to her ‘friends’ are amusing enough. Jumping into conversations between Samantha Ronson and Mindy Kaling, but never receiving a reply from either. She comes across as just another typical fan…. Someone just like the rest of us who @replies to celebrities, even though they rarely respond. It is honestly a little pathetic. But funny as hell for me, so I say @reply on Lindsay, @reply on!

I am also highly amused by her quiet trips to AA meetings surrounded by the paparazzi. As if she didn’t tip them off herself.The pictures are those above. And I gotta give Lilo props. She doesn’t look at all like a crack whore in these photos. Perfectly staged, fresh faced Lilo! Ready to be hired. Not gonna cause any problems on set at all. What is so interesting is that tons of celebrities are working the program, but I don’t really recall seeing photos of anyone else – except those fresh out of rehab – attending meetings. Lindsay is trying really really hard to convince us that she has buckled down and is working hard on a number of new projects.

Apparently that is what she was doing when she spent the night at How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel’s house the other night. An overnight business meeting is how it was explained. Sure. They are “co-workers”. Pfft. We all know exactly what kind of business these two likely got up to. And to that, I say to Jason Segel….. snap the f*ck out of it. You can do better. Much much better. Even Barney wouldn’t go near that. And he would bang pretty much anything with a pulse.

What the Puck?

My absolute favourite new show of the season has to be Fox's Glee. While I have yet to officially come out as a bonafide Gleek, this is the one show that I cannot do without on my PVR. It is awesomely amazingly fantastic. It makes me smile all the way down to my toes. What really pisses me off is that I hate Fox. They cancelled Dollhouse, they have moved Fringe to a crappy night. They are horrible and hateful, but they make Glee. And Family Guy. I so want to boycott them completely but I cannot. Can you see the conundrum I am in?

The cast of Glee have exploded. Many of them were complete unknowns and are now being photographed by the paps, invited to Hollywood partay's, featured regularly in the tabloids. Three of the shows male stars were recently featured in People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue. It is crazy. I have like a second degree of separation to Cory Monteith who plays the dimwitted Finn. He is from Vancity & is really good friends with one of my friends boyfriends. And some of the stuff I have heard. F*cking insane.

Maybe I should have Cory (not that I have even met the dude) chat with his costar Mark Salling (Puck) who according to published reports hooked up with The Hill's star Audrina Patridge at the US Weekly hot Hollywood party a few day ago. Really? Audrina Patridge. That was the best you could do? Come on buddy. You are hot. Your star is on the rise. Why are you hitching it to a reality show twit like Audrina? If you insist on banging an MTV "star" please..... anyone but her.

Puck needs to reign it in. He can land a lot of strange. He can do better. He should do better. Check it boy. Audrina? Ugh.

LSU! LSU! LSU!

Last weekend at Bumbershoot, I had only minimal Internet access. No computer = I-phone interweb access only. Free in the hotel lobby, and occasional sketchy free wi-fi on the Seattle Center grounds.

Between you and me, I was a little scared of the lobby of the hotel. Lots of Purple and Yellow LSU fans. LSU = Louisiana State University. In town for a football match with.... I actually don't know who. Hmmm Washington State? Something about Tigers maybe. Whatever. The point is, these people flew across the country to watch a college Football game. Am I strange that I am completely baffled by this? It is not just my lack of a penis - many chicks were there in full rah rah rah go team mode as well. Maybe it was because I did not spend any time at university caring about sports.... I don't even know if we had any sport teams at my school....
And it wasn't even the play-offs. It was like the opening weekend or something. I just do not understand this mentality. For what looked like regular folks, to get on a plane for a sporting event is totally beyond my comprehension. But more power to them I guess!!

Anyways, in anticipation of no Internet for almost 4 days, I set up my twitter to text me when specific accounts sent out a tweet. One of course, was my gossip goddess - Lainey Gossip. When she announced that she had exclusive details on who Alexander Skarsgard was dating, I knew it was Evan Rachel Wood. Don't ask me how, but I totally knew it. I turned to Melissa and Emma and said that I would literally pee my pants if it was Evan Rachel Wood. What I wanted to say was instant orgasm, but I thought that was a bit much.........

Because...... seriously. Holy f*ck. Amazingness.

Not only has she apparently been down to Louisiana where Alex is filming Straw Dogs, but there are also a number of pics of them out for dinner in LA. Yes, this could simply be two friends who work together going out for dinner, but I much prefer the image I have of them. Rushing back to his or her place because they can barely contain themselves. Stopping only to pick up some candles and handcuffs. And you know the candles are not for mood lighting.

Because their escapades would most definitely not involve mood lighting and romantic music. There would be props and toys and maybe even a few third parties involved. And it would hurt just enough to be amazing. Sigh.... I feel another orgasm building.......This relationship news makes me so happy and content in more than just a post coital bliss kind of way.

Season finale of True Blood is on Sunday. Then we have to wait until June of next year for new episodes. Balls. And I know that I will have to erase the episodes from my PVR at some point. Balls again.

There was a nasty horrible rumour going around on the interwebs that Eric was going to be killed off on the season finale. That had better be nothing more than a nasty horrible rumour. If they kill off Eric to allow Bland Bill and Sookie to continue their vanilla relationship, I am gonna be pissed. Pissed and bitter. An Alex-Evan sex tape may be the only thing to pacify my pissy bitterness.
