FriskyScopes With Kiki T
For The Week Of November 30-December 6, 2009

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Let your idealism run away with you and expect more than you imagined. The only way to get what you want in life is to aim high. If you keep short-changing yourself, thinking no one can give you that fantasy, then you might as well throw in the towel. But this week, things are going to change; though, you must set the target with a vision for all to come into your line of fire.

Quotable: Patrick Stewart On Speaking Out Against Domestic Violence

Patrick Stewart On Speaking Out Against Domestic Violence

“The truth is that domestic violence touches many of us. It is very possible that someone you know – a friend, sister, daughter or colleague – is experiencing abuse. One in four women will experience domestic violence at some point in her lifetime. And every week two women are killed by a current or former partner in England and Wales, and 10 women take their own lives as the only way they know how to escape a violent partner. You are almost certainly paying for it. Domestic violence costs around £26bn a year in medical, legal and housing costs ... This violence is not a private matter. Behind closed doors it is shielded and hidden and it only intensifies. It is protected by silence – everyone’s silence ... Most people find the idea of violence against women – and sometimes, though rarely, against men - abhorrent, but do nothing to challenge it. More women and children, just like my mother and me, will continue to experience domestic violence unless we all speak out against it.”

—Actor Patrick Stewart on his experience as a child with domestic violence and why he supports Refuge’s “Four Ways To Speak Out” anti-domestic violence campaign in an essay for the UK’s The Guardian

Blind Item: The Real Reason Behind The Shaved Head Trend?

The Real Reason Behind The Shaved Head Trend?

This blind item is so juicy and sad if it’s true. All of this is alleged, of course—via Crazy Days and Nights:

“This female singer has a very unique hair style. She said she came up with the idea on her own. I’m sure she did after the fact. It was necessitated though by the fact she got into a fight with her idiot A-list singer/producer boyfriend who took a pair of scissors and cut huge chunks of hair off our female singer’s head.”

Your theories? Ours is, well, obvious.

12 Celebs Dish About Kissing Their Co-Stars

12 Celebs Dish On Kissing Their Co-Stars

Guess which leading man singer Norah Jones had to kiss 90 times for the film “My Blueberry Nights?” Jude Law. Norah dished about their kissing scene in a recent interview saying, “It was an interesting situation and it was just plain weird. I had to kiss Jude about 90 times and I didn’t want to laugh, but it seemed so ridiculous. What in the world am I doing kissing Jude Law? He’s Jude … and I’m … me. We laughed a lot between takes. It was actually very choreographed, but there was beautiful music playing in the background. Now when I hear that music I think about kissing Jude Law.” I think that’s a nice way of saying, “Jude ruined my favorite song.” [The Insider]

After the jump, some other loose lips dish about co-star kisses.
