So this little tween pop act performed on The Today Show yesterday that I’d never heard of, so I looked ‘em up. The Clique Girlz are from Atlantic City, NJ and are comprised of sisters Paris and Destinee—is dad a craps dealer and mom a stripper?—along with their fried Ariel. According to Wikipedia, Paris is the princess, Destinee is the rocker, and Ariel is the sweetheart. Does anyone else find it disturbing that girls so young—12, 13, and 14, in this case—are being molded into “types”? [New York City, 6/17/08]
Fingers crossed that the black eyes and swollen face she’s sporting do not indicate cosmetic surgery of some kind. Because we thought she was perfect before. Then again, if it’s not plastic surgery…has some a-hole been beating up on our beloved Target Lady?! [Los Angeles, 6/16/08]
Or “prune”. Whatever floats your boat. [London, U.K., 6/12/08]
I’ve got good news for the 8-year-old girl/gay boy inside of all of us. Your parents may have ruined Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and maybe even where babies come from, but they can’t take away the mythical, magical, magnificent Unicorn! It lives! Granted, in captivity, but a beautiful unicorn has been prancing around a nature preserve in Italy. Its mother, who was rescued after being hit by a car, gave birth at the facility to the now 10-month old baby roe deer. While scientists claim the horn is a genetic mutation, this “Unicorn” is still proof of what seemed to be just a fabled fantasy. Here’s hoping there’s a mermaid out there too! [Telegraph via Dlisted]
Tommy recently told Rolling Stone, “Pamela and the kids have moved in with me…. It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces — they’re happy when we’re together.” [Las Vegas, 8/19/95]
