The Hillzzzzzzzzz

Look at what I got yesterday.

Review soon to follow.

HJNTIY

Last night we rented He's Just Not That Into You. I thought it would suck in a mellow way, but this was some definite next level business.
In it:
Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck are a couple. YEAH. Nice teeth Ben, and pat yr plastic surgeon on the back for me. Great work!

There was one character that I'm not sure who played her, I think it was Beth from DOG Bounty Hunter. Or was it Brooke Hogan? I'm not sure, but either way, excellent performance.

Jennifer Conolley freaks out because her husband is smoking American Spirits. Who cares? Aren't those like smoking some carrots, celery and apples? I thought they were GOOD for you.

Also, unrelated, there is a part on this weeks Daisy of Love where this short fool is chasing after Daisy and he runs up a set of stairs after her, it is DEEP tv carnage. I keep replaying it in my mind nonstop. He is running, but he can't take big strides because he is like 4 feet tall, but more so than that he wears his pants so that the waist is like at the place where your leg bends at the pelvis, but the pants are tight. It is seriously the best thing I have ever seen.

Que Suerte

How lucky you are that apparently I have no interest in doing anything but blogging today.

Lucky for me I have had a LOT of luck on shopping trips lately. Here's a few selections. Don't worry, theres a lot more where this came from.

Found these lil buddies at the thrift store (duh, do i even go anywhere else?). I love all of their expressions. The bunny is like the drug dealer who doesn't hold money or drugs, he just directs all the, you know, clockers. The middle dog has a kind of "huh? Who, me?" guilty vibe. Whatev, he's still a bad ass. The other dog, with the bow, is like their slow cousin. Doesn't it look like they know that they are having their picture taken? I love them so much. What a great find.

This is like the shirt of my dreams!



I've been really really lucky with FILM lately, WOW. My apartment is turning into what the Smithsonian SHOULD be.


This is possibly the best documentary ever made. If you think I'm kidding come over and we will watch it. Mind=blown. Capesh? Bring beer ok?



Unfortunately the trailer leaves out the best part: Jerry OConnell saying, "A finger up the butt during sex? Fuck yeah!"


Self explainitory. I know everybody's obsessed with the duster/walking on sunshine girl, and yes, she is amazing--especially when she's rocking the Jackie-O trench coat/shades deal, but my personal fav is the guy who only cares about doing meth and looking for bearle (which is a weird type of wood). Whatever, that's just me.

AND, the best for last:

No big deal at all.

Deaw Gawd, I beweeve in u, yow magic is weeeaow.



This is the new cast for Celebrity Rehab 3!!!!!!!! Is that Mandy Moore? DUDES! I can't even believe how deeply amazing this show is, and I CANNOT believe I am lucky enough to be alive to watch it. It is as if god himself is sending me this show directly via a glittery lightning bolt while winking and saying, "This one's for you kid. You deserve it."

The show will follow Mackenzie Phillips (One Day At A Time), Heidi Fleiss, Dennis Rodman, Mindy McCready (country music singer), Lisa D’Amato (America’s Next Top Model), Mike Starr (Alice in Chains), Kari Ann Peniche (ex-Miss United States Teen) Joey Kovar (Real World Hollywood), and Tom Sizemore.

Tom Sizemore and Heidi Fleiss--the woman who turned him onto meth in the first place in rehab TOGETHER and it will be on FILM (or tape)????? I hear angels singing, I see baby trolls with pastel-colored hair tumbling on piles of stardust, I smell a thousand cupcakes freshly baked by Betty White in a mushroom shaped cottage in a Keeblerian village as frogs in tiny jeans and suspenders ride by on miniture bicycles with baskets of flowers on them, whistling "Man in the Box" and waving a cheerful hello to everyone in the neighborhood.
DO U GET IT????? I AM STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!xinfinity*

*Speaking of infinity, I hate summer and the heat but I LOVE seeing people's crappy tattoos now that everybody has to walk around in unflattering spagetti strap tank tops and crocs and shit, and yesterday ALONE I spied not one but TWO infinity symbol tattoos on yuppie-esque women. Mazel tov!

Nylon is so gross

Bought the new Nylon yesterday cos my job is boring. And what else am I going to buy? Cosmo? God do they even make that thing still? Who READS it? ANYWAY. Bookmarked a few items to discuss...

--My least fav type of vibe: The WESC ad which features a girl using boc choy as a megaphone. La-hame nuggs.


--Oh yes, the important, global reporting of my favorite racist*, vapid, lust zombie: Peaches Geldof. Check this before anything else and then we'll talk.
You should note that Peaches is said to be a "journalist". You write a page in Nylon about NOTHING. Okay, I caught myself, you got me, that is journalism. I'm happy about that cos it makes ME a journalist too, I mean this blog is published right? Now I can add to my list: popcorn maker, fashion designer, grocery cashier, florist, pizza maker, accountant, Goodwill supervisor, environmental lab technician, curator, roadie, corn detassler, baker, bouncer, JOURNALIST.
ANYWAY!!!
This issue Peaches goes deep into the world of Coachella, and here's the highlights, although I do not blame you if you go and buy two copies of this magazine (one to archive in plastic to later sell at Antiques Roadshow, or Christie's, or Sotheby's no doubt for thousands and thousands, if not MILLIONS, of dollars.)

"...We met up with [blah blah blah--more idiots that don't matter in the slightest] at the Ace Hotel party, where I snagged some stonewashed Levi's for free." JOURNALISM.

"...Jonny and I lounged around poolside, trying (and failing) to avoid an onslaught of splash attacks-Jonny eventually gave in and swam in his Jeremy Scott sunglasses and tshirt." DEEEEEEP JOURNALISM.

If you don't know, this is Jeremy Scott

He is thee deepest most atrocious YBNormal on the streets today. His clothes reflect that, as you can see:


Oh oh oh! Here it is, the crown jewel on this meticulous pyramid of absolute barf:

"I wandered off to see Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band [ed. note: Mystic Valley Band? WOW. Can I get the dressing on the side?] play a set that perfectly fit the desert surroundings, his voice at turns hushed and soaring, as he told tales of wildfires and lost highways."
I wish SO badly that there was a function on here that let me install a red, screeching siren, cos it would be GOING OFF RIGHT NOW. I will have to settle for a "GONG!!!"
Seriously though, is that not the most embarrassing thing you have ever read? I am dying inside. People just do not know!

*The reason I called her a racist is because in that interview on The Selby she talks about mexican guys checking her out in her neighborhood. Because she lives in Brooklyn which is like you know, so ethnic and everything, she's really slumming it in her weird Less Than Zero cocaine castle with those EMBARRASSING trolls!!!!! I wish I had a swimming pool cos after talking about this toolbag I want to take a refreshing dip and clear my mind. Maybe "let my mind wander to desert plains, where the heat swims in waves and simmers off surfaces."
