It's Not Gossip, It's Commentary
The stars came out for the latest installment of the Star Trek enterprise, and they sure look good (see the very yummy Chris Pine below). The film is set for release May 17. Enjoy the photos from their world travels.
Holly Madison debuted her post-baby body, and she’s looking good! When asked about her 30 pound weight-loss, Madison proudly proclaimed to Life & Style Weekly, “Who cares if I still need to lose 10 pounds? I’ve been really healthy and done the best I could.”
Reese Witherspoon might be the only celebrity in history that should be grateful that her bad behavior was caught on tape. What looked awful in print, looks hilarious on video. Watch below to see America’s A-lister remind the police officer of her citizenship . . . over and over again.

When I interviewed Mike Doughty, I was careful about the Soul Coughing questions. He’s been clear that his experience with his former band was less than stellar, and he’s since maintained a successful solo career. Having said that, Soul Coughing has a special place in my heart beside my teenage-angst years, and I’ve always held out hope for Mike to play those songs again. So you can imagine my elation upon discovering his Pledge Music page, where he’s raising money to rework those songs. The project makes sense, considering at the time of our talk, Mike explained that the desire to appease his band-mates ultimately sacrificed his original vision. With this new project, his vision will now be restored.
Though he’s already reached his Pledge Music goal, you’ll still get lots of goodies if you contribute, including ten video performances that are exclusively available to pledgers.
Get excited. This is gonna be good.
I paid close attention to Reese Witherspoon’s mea culpa, and my forgiveness is on the fence. She’s in a tough position. If she blames her bad behavior on being wasted, then it’s less understandable that she and her husband felt fine to drive. So she’s either wasted and not a bitch, or she was sober enough to feel fine to drive, and acted like a bitch because that’s her true personality. Since this is her first slip-up though, I’m guessing she wont’ be in the dog house for long.
The only way to describe the Nicki/Mariah feud is sad, unprofessional, and inappropriate. But here at The Dishmaster, I take sides, and I have to fall on Team Mariah, though it’s a close call. First, Nicki Minaj should not have been hired. Mariah was pitched the show as a three person panel with her as the star, and only found out about Nicki’s addition after she signed on the dotted line. We’re not in high school anymore, so we don’t have to play with people we don’t like. Had Mariah known about Nicki, perhaps she would have chosen another playground. That being said, Nicki not only initiates the taunting, but she’s also detracts the spotlight from the contestants with her over-the-top antics. And when Mariah disengaged, she received Producer-heat for her backseat approach to a front-seat job. I predict a complete overhaul next season — though I think Keith Urban will stay.
Hell hath no fury like a Baldwin baby scorned. Ireland Baldwin took to tumblr to write a post that can only be described as admirable, gutsy, and Alec-esque. The blonde bombshell received some undeserved criticism about her body, and she wasn’t pleased with the predictable haters. She addressed the infamous voice-mail from her father, the comments about her weight, and the comparisons to her mother. Read some choice quotes below.
On her father’s public voice-mail
I had nothing to do with anything that happened back then, so I don’t fully understand why I am being targeted. More importantly, my Dad has moved on. He recognized that he needed to change, so he made changes. He is now healthy, happily married with a baby on the way. He moved on, so why can’t you?
On the difference between her and her mother
She is 5’9, I am 6’2. She is petite and fragile, and I am fit and…. more to love tehe. I have a booty, she has a thigh gap. As she emerged from her teen years, she developed an angular face and striking cheekbones. I am still a teen making my way out of my awkward phase. I am still trying to figure this whole thing out.
On stepping out of her parents’ spotlight
I am proud to be my parent’s daughter, but I don’t want to forever be known as ‘that rude thoughtless little pig’ or ”’Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s kid.’
Jennifer Lopez reigns supreme on my girl-crush list, and that’s a shocking revelation considering I bashed her in the early days. When rumors swirled that American Idol attempted to snag her mid-season in place of Mariah, I believed it immediately. The ratings are tanking, and the producers are desperate. Also — she was a popular addition whose absence has had a profound impact. Watch the curvy goddess address the rumors, and notice how she doesn’t deny it. Silence is compliance — at least in my world.
