Jolie-Pitt Twins Worth A Cool $10 Million

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 27, 2008 //

Obviously we live in a celebrity obsessed culture and that has never been more apparent than in the last few months, as the celeb weeklies fought to be the first to feature the stars’ newly born bundles of joy. People won the battle for photos of Max Bratman (Christina Aguilera’s son), Harlow Madden (daughter of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden), and Max and Emme Anthony (J.Lo and Marc Anthony’s tots), but at a pretty hefty price. The allegedly paid $1.5 million, $1 million, and $6 million respectively for the shoots, but those numbers put together are what people are guesstimating pictures of Angelina and Brad’s rumored twins will fetch. Cuh-razy. [Pop Sugar] Keep reading »

Elizabeth & Jessica Wakefield Go On A Diet

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 27, 2008 //

I basically lived for reading Sweet Valley High when I was in elementary school — as I previously wrote, SVH #3 Playing With Fire was the first time I read the word “breast” in print in a somewhat sexual way. I remember vividly thinking that SVH was the way high school would be like, in a wonderful dream world, and in order to be a part of that dream, I would need to be “a perfect size six” just like Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield. Make that a “perfect size four.” The books are getting a major makeover — when Random House re-releases the series, they are giving the books new covers (featuring soap star Levin Rambin as the twins) AND updating some of the content so they’re not so ’80s. Oh and they’re trimming a size off Liz and Jess, because everyone knows that four is the new six and six is fat. That was sarcasm, by the way. [Feministing] Keep reading »

Crave: Wheel Of High-Heeled Fortune

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 27, 2008 //

Not having enough room for my shoes (or my clothes or my cosmetics or my anything) in the small apartment I share with the feef* is a major source of stress in my life, because in addition to being a shopaholic, I am also moderately OCD. Thankfully, Rakku Designs has come to my rescue. They’ve invented the handy-dandy Shoe Wheel, which can store up to 30 pairs of shoes (including high heels!) in small, attractive, and user-friendly packaging. It’s a little pricey at $65, especially when you consider that I will now have the closet space to buy even more kicks. [The Budget Fashionista]

*”Feef” is what I’m now calling my fiance, since I hate that word. I called him my “beef” when we were just BF/GF because that’s the way I thought “BF” would be pronounced as a word. So now he’s my “feef”. Feel free to use it. Keep reading »

Chelsea Clinton Shuts ‘Em Down

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 27, 2008 //

Yesterday at an event in support of Hillary Clinton (who was not present) a man asked Chelsea Clinton whether she thought the Monica Lewinski scandal affected her mother’s credibility. This is how Chelsea answered. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about whether or not that whole debacle should be addressed by Hillary and/or Bill, but I thought it was inappropriate to ask Chelsea how her father’s philandering affected her mom’s reputation. Chelsea has got class. I predict that if her mom doesn’t make it to the White House, she’ll be the U.S.’s first woman President. Keep reading »

So I’m Engaged: Babysitting

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 27, 2008 //

I’ve had a case of baby fever practically since I was an infant, so the possibility of someday having children has always been a no-brainer, even more than the idea of getting married. Put me in a room with a dozen adults and one youngster, and the child will have my ear all night. When I was freelance writing from home last year, I made extra cash, though not much, babysitting. It was mostly for fun and to put a damper on my crazy baby cravings. One thing I never considered in my non-debate over someday having kids was the possibility that my partner-in-crime might not want them as bad as I did…or even at all. When that became an issue for my fiancé and me long before we even got engaged, rest assured some tears were shed. Keep reading »

The Daily Hotness: Jim Sturgess

Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 27, 2008 //

Jim Sturgess caught our eye in the awesome Beatles musical Across The Universe in which he played Jude and sang quite prettily. He’s a Brit, but this month he sheds his sexy accent in order to play an MIT card-counting wiz in 21, which is based on the true story documented in the book Bringing Down The House. He makes our teeth sweat. Keep reading »

    “Over The Hills”: Lauren And Heidi Nearly Tear Each Other’s Grey Hair Out

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 26, 2008 //

    Heavy’s “Over The Hills” series is hysterical, mostly because it features the actual dialogue from the real MTV show. Check out this clip of a crotchety old Lauren running into retirees Heidi and Spencer at a club. Why does Heidi have a Southern accent? She’s from Crested Butte, Colorado! [Heavy] Keep reading »

    Aspiring To Be Miss Bimbo

    Amelia McDonell-ParryMarch 26, 2008 //

    Most kids know more about the internet than their parents and grandparents, which is why it scares us that there are sites like Miss Bimbo out there targeting our little girls. The interactive game lets you “become the hottest, coolest most famous bimbo ever!” Because Paris Hilton doesn’t already have that job covered? Okay. Users work to “become a socialite and skyrocket to the top of fame and popularity”, flirt with “that famous hottie you’ve had your eye on”, and can even “resort to meds or plastic surgery. Stop at nothing to become the reigning bimbo!” One of the site editors says that the game, which is marketed to tweens and teens, has some very valuable messages to send. “If they eat too much chocolate in the game it is bad for their bimbos’ bodies and their happiness levels compared to if they eat fruit and vegetables, which reinforces positive healthy eating messages.”

    Okay, so we’re not entirely sure that this isn’t some hugely ironic parody site, but in a world filled with Bratz dolls and tween thongs, there’s a solid chance it’s for real. Besides, we doubt the little 10-year old we babysit would be able to tell the difference. [Guardian U.K via Feministing] Keep reading »
