Because I'm Canadian - Sarah McLachlan in a bikini


I'm Canadian, so I automatically like Sarah McLachlan. It's in our laws. No, it's not, but bringing maple syrup to out-of-town hosts is. Ha ha.

Ok, but seriously. I have no clue how old she is, but I do know she has several (or one - who knows) children.

Lookin' good, Sar. Very nice.

Blake Lively's boots


I'm really over this Kate-Moss-Induced ugly boots with dresses look. Seriously. That's a scroll-down disaster. Was so potentially cute and then - barf.

Ugly is ugly, I don't care if it's trendy anymore. Maybe it's me getting old, but I don't care. Crotchety is in.

Just ask Kate Moss.

The Skank Extraordinaire has been having fun - Lindsay Lohan style!

So it's been a while, and our lady of the night has been galavanting about Cannes, LA and other places with her 'best friend' Samantha Ronson. A lot.

You'll remember, Samantha was there on that last night when Lindsay crashed into the tree and was rumoured to have planted the coke in the car and tipped off the paps as to where Linz was just for the $ (makes sense, I mean, how much can DJ'ing actually pay?).

Well, if any of that is true, it looks like our Skank Extraordinaire has forgiven her...

Here she is at some Dolce & Gabana party wearing what looks like a dish towel. Shoes are hot though.

Here she is kissing some dude in an ugly hat. Oh, no wait, that's Samantha Ronson. Come on!
They are denying that they're lovers, even getting her poor little (looks-old) sister involved. Who cares if they are? Go for it ladies!

Cameron Diaz is bald


And looks so gd unattractive! Hurray! Seriously, I've never enjoyed anything more. Ok, I have enjoyed lots of things more, but I still really love it.

Bwa ha ha!

PS - Cam, you're not going to win an Oscar for this. Good try though.

Confirmed: Asslee's preggo!


Poor us! The flatiron twins have gotten married AND confirmed their pregnancy in my recent mini-break. How could we miss it?

Oh yah. Cause we don't care.

Well, I care because this kid is going to have the potential to be a douchebag to the nth degree. Scary. I hope Uncle Tony Romo saves it....

Sorry for my absence


I must apologize for my recent absence from Skankopolis. Much to some people's disappointment, I have not been beaten down by crazy people, just insanely busy.

The wedding is in 21 days and I am running the risk of being the lovely lady in the photo... no, not really, I'm proud to say, but I'm stressed.

On top of the wedding, they have me doing 2 jobs at work and I'm in an advanced training course that finishes the week before the wedding...it's insanity to the max.

Anyhoo - I want to apologize for being so absent, I'll try to post at least a couple of time before I leave.

Loves you alls!

Shiloh will save the world (and possibly a cheerleader)

Could this baby be more 'Gerber' commercial? Well, minus the comb-over. What is that, btw?

I find she looks so much like Brad. Crazy.

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt will save us from the crap that is happening. I wonder if she could get my hubby-to-be a flight too...

BTW - where do you even get black baby clothes? I thought the dye was harmful to their soft skin...

Kate Moss: Fashion leader


Ok, I get it, she's thin like a pole and has access to the newest trends, so she technically ends up being a trend setter. Anyway, I have a problem with people like her Sienna Miller and Chloe Sevigny who are constantly touted as mavens, it girls and trend setters because I am jealous. Plain and simple.

My question is will uneven, ripped hems be hot next year because of this dress she's wearing? Clearly she didn't care for the length and took some snippers or a cat to it herself. Couldn't have been more careful Kate?

Jennifer Aniston is making me mad

Why couldn't the John Mayer thing be a fling? And by fling I mean one night stand which would be mercifully over by now. Hell. Holy hell.

They're still together. Goddam she has terrible taste in man hair.

Gross. Here are pictures from yesterday. Would seriously consider murdering a family member for that body.

Oksana Baiul is a crazy long-island housewife


Where does one even purchase this hot mess?

Was anyone else expecting her to have curlers in her hair and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth?

OMG! Are those heels!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHH. There is NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING I hate more than heels with sweatpants.

Gross.

Lindsay Lohan looking fresh?


I know. I'm confused too.

Is it just me or does she look cute here?

My world is torn apart. My love is stuck on standby somewhere in the US, I don't know where, Lindsay Lohan looks presentable and nothing makes sense anymore!

Helllllllllppppppppppp!

There is something wrong with Sarah Jessica Parker

I'm all for having fun with fashion and being a bit kooky, but when Cynthia Nixon looks the best of all the women, you know it's a bad day. WTF is Sarah Jessica Parker wearing on her head? She looks like the thing I almost convinced a friend to buy for her mother yesterday. It was really late and it was one of the last things left at the flower shop.

OMG she is an idiot.

The Skank Extraordinaire designed a line of leggings...sigh


Um, is this going to be like the last time that leggings came out and certain people will not let them go and we're going to have to make fun of them for the next 15 years? Oh god. I'm scared. Someone hold me.

Anyhoo, our favorite skank, Lindsay Lohan, "designed" her own line of leggings. One pair even has quilted knee pads. Yes. I said it. Knee pads. I don't know what activity or profession would require you to need knee pads, but...ok, yes, we all do, but we prefer not to mention it because then we'd be calling someone a whore.

Seriously - who will buy the knee-pad version?

Shia LeBoeuf rocks my world

Can we please discuss this?



Wow.

I love it when celebrities have a sense of humour about their stardom. That's what makes Alec Baldwin great.

I think Shia's on the way.

NEWS ALERT: Tara Reid showered


Ok, granted, this photo is from the beginning of a night, not the end, but still, not looking too gross, right?

Would love to see the pics of her on the walk of shame up her driveway at the end of the night.

Kelly Brook in mom jeans

High waisted jeans and pants are back. Ok. It's often not the most flattering look but can look amazing when done well. As seen here, on a mannequin with no gunt:



Then there is the wrong way - as displayed here on Kelly Brook in what looks to by my mom's jeans. Come on! They're too loose, the blouse is too flowy and she's too casual. It looks terrible. Also, I am of the very strong opinion that they should be dark wash if you're going to do them in denim.

For a pretty girl she sure knows how to look fugly.

Amy Winehouse rocks ridiculousness


Amy Winehouse was arrested this week on suspicion of doing drugs after The Sun (a UK newspaper) showed a video of her smoking crack and talking about doing other drugs earlier. In January.

I'm not normally one for social commentary but it seems to me like the English police are either mildly retarded or give their celebrities an easy pass even more than the US. Pete Doherty was arrested about 89 times before they finally put him into jail and they only kept him there for a few weeks. George Michael (the singer-song writer, not the boy) was found passed out, or high, or buying drugs countless times before he finally got in trouble earlier this year.

Now Amy Winehouse, who SMOKES CRACK on video is arrested on 'suspicion' of doing drugs. Um. What? And 5 months later. Are you kidding me?

Anyway, she was released and has since been wandering around either the countryside or the road system.

Someone lock this girl into a rehab center and throw away the key. Does that look like a healthy person to anyone reading this?

Katie Holmes or Tom Cruise?


You know that thing they say about couples starting to look alike after a while? Well, the first time I saw this picture I thought it was Tom Cruise. Ha ha!

Obviously, at second glance it's Katie Holmes...but the only real strong tip-off is the fact that she's wearing lip gloss. I could see Tom in that hair do, outfit and those sunglasses.

Ha ha. It's the mistake that keeps on giving.

Ugly shoe perplexes me

So this morning I'm looking around on the internet for a shoe to go with a dress I bought. Really just need a new black sandal. As I'm perusing SteveMadden.com, I fall upon this FUG ASS shoe.

I realize that statement shoes are in this year, but are hideous shoes also in? I think this might actually be the ugliest thing I've ever seen passed off as nice. Holy crap.

What do you think?

Madonna looks GD fabulous



First of all, although I do not ethically agree with fur, I can say that it sometimes looks really fabulous.

Case in point: ---->

I would also like to make 3 points:

  1. I purchased 'Hard Candy' and am a little disappointed - anyone else have comments? I thought it was all going to be like '4 minutes' and comparatively it's not as good
  2. I hope to god I can look that unbelievably awesome at 49
  3. Madonna is touring and I think it's really important I go. Seriously. October 22 in Montreal. If anyone wants to buy or give me tickets, that would be great.

Thank you.

Mariah marries 'Drumline' guy


I know that Mariah and Nick care, so I wanted to announce that I'm not so sure about this union.
Apparently they got matching neck tattoos a few weeks ago, so this was in the works for a while.
Anyone want to take bets on how long this lasts?

Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

I love the Met's Costume Institute Gala! It's almost always the best event of the year because SO many celebrities get all pretty and show up. Let's take a look!



Beyonce:
Word is that B was very coy all evening and wouldn't speak to the press. Obviously, everyone is wondering whether she married Jay-Z a month ago. Personally, I don't care. It's a month old already! I'm bored by their silence. She ruined her wedding for me.


She looks really beautiful - the color is so lovely and soft, and I'm not a huge fan of pink. I have only one problem with her: WTF is up with her hair? It looks like how I do my hair to clean the apartment...and the roots! Yikes-a-roonie.




Blake Lively:
I'm just going to say that I really don't think it's fair that this girl gets to wear the clothes she wears. It's really, really not fair. Her wardrobe on 'Gossip Girl' is unbelievable and this dress is stunning. I can't deny that she's pretty, but I find her looks a little to generic American. Again, boring.




Christina Ricci:
Ok, so the theme of the evening was superhero's. I didn't really see that on anyone except CR. She had balls enough to put a superhero-type onesie below her curtain dress. She's much, much too thin, but there's something really stunning about her features. She's so symmetrical and lovely to look at.

I mentioned above that I don't care for pink. This is why. This is pink done wrong. Bubblegum style.




Claudia Schiffer:
Remember when she was IT? I know this is mean, but once she closes her mouth and hides those ginormous chompers, I think she still could be it. She and Cindy Crawford haven't aged at all in about 12 years. It's crazy.

The dress is kind of blah. It looks like the blue, frilly version of the pink one Gwyneth wore for the Oscars so long ago. The color does nothing for her. What superhero is she? The ice guy from 'The Incredibles'?




Diane Kruger:
Damn! Nice legs! I don't like the dress at all, I find it too contrived, but the length really sells it. The hair is much too austere for the fun hemline and shoes, but whatever. Who is she even? She went from playing Helen in 'Troy' with Brad Pitt to being Nicolas Cage's wife in 'National Treasure'. At least she's dating Pacey.




Dita von Teese:
My she is lily-white. Seriously. She is rocking a pallor not seen since the rice-flour days of the geishas. Ha ha, like I'm some historian. I find her face potato-like, is it just me? She has a puffy, rounded jawline. I'm not saying her features aren't beautiful, because she is strikingly so, but she def has potato-jaw.


I find that dress offensively over-the-top and I don't feel like she should be allowed to wear white. Just like I can't wear a white bikini because I'm too pale, it's off putting (and gross).




Emmy Rossum:
I do not know who this girl is, but I continually put her in these things because she's constantly there. Who is she? Why is she wearing a JC Penney prom dress to this event? Why didn't she do her hair or make-up? Is she a dental work model?




Eva Longoria:
As usual, totally over the top, but annoyingly gorgeous. She knows how to dress her tiny frame and her hair and make-up people know how to emphasize her beauty. That dress looks my cat got to it after a romp in the catnip, but whatever. I like purple.




Eva Mendes:
Fresh out of rehab, here is my favorite funny (not farty) girl! I've said many times that she reminds me of my best friend because she's fun, loud and curvy. Love my best friend, and Eva. Love her CK dress. She's their new spokesperson, so I'm assuming that it's Calvin, but it should be. No one cuts clean lines like that.




Elvira Fergie:
I don't even want to talk about this too much, because I feel it's giving too much attention to a horrible thing. Similar to my thinking on P Hil. It's no good. The dress is way, way too severe, her make-up is even more severe and her hair is bad. It's a not hot mess and if she didn't have such a killer bod it would be an outright disaster.



Gisele Bundchen & Tom Brady:
Could Tom Brady look more awkward? Fashion is not for a lot of jocks. Apparently really not for Tommy boy. It's really hard to say anything bad about Giselle Bundchen because she is basically a goddess walking among us. The only thing I can say about that dress is that it's a little sluttier than I would have expected for that event. That and it's wrinkly all over the skirt.

Damn she's pretty.

Hilary Duff:
Um, why is that dress so unbelievably hideous? It looks like someone bedazzled a giant feather and made it into a tube dress. Yeesh. It's too much, and it must weigh a ton too. Those earrings are a little too forced for me too, but she looks really good otherwise. She looks like she's actually eaten in the past few weeks, which is not something we can say for everyone invited *cough* Kate Bosworth.


Ivanka Trump:
Oh, what a charmed life she leads. Considering the kick-ass bod she has, that dress is really not doing anything for her...I am not sure I want to get into the diamond belly chain as forehead jewelry because I'm nervous I will get violently angry and then I turn green and rip my shirt off. I'm at work. Not really appropriate.


Jennifer Lopez:
Thanks heavens I found a pic of her without her vampire husband. He looked like death walking. It was very disturbing. Almost as disturbing as her dress. I'm sure the hotel manager of the hotel where she stole those ballroom curtains is really annoyed that la Lopez Diva'd his curtains for use as a dress. She better return them. They have one nude window now.

But seriously. That dress is doing nothing for her, it adds pounds, washes her out and oh my god can she stop wearing so much goddamn sparkly make-up and fake lashes. I'm over it.


Karolina Kurkova:
She is the least pretty of all the Victoria's Secret, but that does not take away from her kicking bod. The dress and the Wonder Woman type cuff are really rocking my world. I love it. It's sleek, it's Grecian and it's superhero all wrapped up into one look. Well done. I'm extremely impressed.


Kate "Quizno's" Bosworth:
I am suffering from a stroke from the dress, but am salivating over the shoes. Or the stroke, not fully sure. LOVE the shoes. They're stunning. I wonder though, aloud - as always, if one's feet would sweat with those clear bands...? My feet sweat if you look at them...wow. I'm hot.

Love the shoes. Hate the hair. Love the make-up. Hate the dress.


Katie Holmes:
So, thanks to Oprah, Americans like Tom Cruise again. I think. I haven't read the latest crop poll as I've been distracted by things that matter, like clothing, Myanmar and Kate Bosworth's shoes. Katie, herself, is beautiful, but this tomato red creation with the blue shoes is no good. I don't like the length, looks like it was tailored for Tom; don't like the strange eye make-up; don't like the greasy skin...don't like her husband. Ha ha. No, seriously. It's not a good look.


Liv Tyler:
People announced yesterday that Liv and her hubby have decided to call it quits after 5 years of marriage and one son. Too bad. I wonder if this was secretly her coming out party. If I were her, I think I would have worn something sluttier, but I am immoral and wrong. Also, break-ups used to make me dress trampy. Thank god my hubby-to-be has made me into a better person.


Michelle Monaghan:
I will not see 'Made of Honour', same as I didn't see, 'Serendipity' and any of those other garbage romantic "comedies" (oh, ha ha! Someone fell down! HILARIOUS and ambitious comedy!). I prefer more obvious, stupid humour like 'The Office' (BBC or NBC) or 'Arrested Development' ('her?'). I've lost my train of thought.

Oh yah, the girl: I want her hair. It's so GD shiny. I'm not nutso about the dress, but she pulls it off and her look really flows, so I like it.


Michelle Trachtenberg:
Thank god someone in my high school had that last name, or I never would have been able to spell it. My brain is running out of steam. I don't really like this girl, her hair or her outfit, I'm more in love with the shot with the other camera's flash going off in the background. She's really rocking that pose though.


Mischa Barton:
Mere days after being shown sunbathing topless and then walking away with a very, very unflattering shot of her behind, here's Mischa wearing one of the ugliest dresses I have ever seen. Seriously. This is almost as ugly as some of the fugly things Celine Dion wears. God.

Just shows what make-up (and clothes covering bums & thighs) can do for someone, because she is very pretty, but just dressed really badly. That's fug.


Molly Sims:
I don't know why I dislike this woman so much. It's totally unfounded. She's really pretty though. I really like the dress (would never be able to pull it off, love handles do not fit into dresses like that) and I love her earrings. They're perfect.


Rachel Bilson & Hayden Christensen:
I am loathe to dislike this man because he's Canadian, but he's such a terrible actor that I can't like him. Have you seen 'Jumper'? Oh my god it's terrible. I find her bangs a little heavy still (as I mentioned here) but she's so pretty, I don't care. I love her. I don't love her dress, but I'm going to pretend she's not wearing something that boring, so it's easier for me.


Sarah Michelle Gellar:
Where's Freddy? Why can't he call himself Fred? Is her dress unzipped on the side? What is the appeal of 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'? I have never watched it - is it good? So many questions!

I like her, against my better judgement. She's cute and she doesn't dress like a tool, most of the time. That dress is nice except for the possible unzipping issue.


Sarah Silverman:
Oh how droll! What a clown. Seriously though, I hate what she's wearing, but she obivously doesn't care and is taking this very tongue in cheek, so good for her. Plus, she's f*$%ing Matt Damon.


Scarlet Johansen & Dolce & Gabbana:
The day of this event ScarJo and Ryan Reynolds announced their engagement. Imagine the sexy babies that would come out of those two? Wowee.

If you look closely you can see the ring. Although she wouldn't talk to the press that night, she did make sure her left hand was visible.

She's also releasing an album soon...I heard one track and fell asleep during it. It was fantastic. Maybe the rest of the album rocks.


Thandie Newton:
WOW! She's so gorgeous! Dress is hot (although I could do without the brooch at the belt), shoes are incredibly fantastic (and I want to steal them). Wow. Am stunned quiet.


Zhang Ziyi:
This woman is unbelievably beautiful. So totally stunning. Love her. She's so graceful and beautiful and the best part is that she's also a total marial arts bad-ass. I wish I was a bad-ass. I'm more of a lazy-ass. Or a bitch. Well, both. Let's be honest.

She tends to favor the more formal ball-gowns for events, and although I'm not crazy about it, I'm not going to say that because I'm scared she'll break my arm.
