So I don’t watch Battlestar Galactica (cause, you know, I’m already a geek and I don’t need the extra baggage), but I have noticed that the show is populated almost entirely by hotties. Even better, it’s populated almost entirely by hotties wearing tank tops. This is a fashion choice which I, for one, am entirely in favor of. Who knew space would need such ventilation-friendly attire. I'm still not gonna watch the show, but I may look at the pictures... 
Few women are more effortlessly elegant than Audrey Hepburn. She moves beyond beautiful and into exquisite. Not only was she a lovely actress, she was also a tireless humanitarian. Which makes it even more infuriating that those damn Gap ads are using her joyful dance from "Funny Face" to shill their awful skinny jeans. A world of no. I don't care if the company donated an undisclosed amount to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund to use her image. And I'm not the only one who thinks it's wrong. The woman worked hard during her lifetime to maintain her legacy. Don't go muck it up to sell a couple pairs of pants. Grace like this was made for a higher purpose. Happy weekend, all.
So, Esquire in all its infinite wisdom has selected Ms. Johansson as the Sexiest Woman Alive. Hmmm. Have they seen her in a headdress? Cause, that look is not so hot... I will admit, I think Scarlett is a tasty dish. The fact that she can actually act and doesn't appear to be caught up in the starlet party circuit makes her even more attractive. The magazine revealed her identity today, after dropping hints and pictures of the actress on its website. In the cover story, she laments people's interest in her more obvious attributes."What about my brain? What about my heart? What about my kidneys and my gallbladder?"
Behold the first shots of two of America’s hottest young actresses portraying two of England’s most infamous young sisters. Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman are shooting “The Other Boleyn Girl,” portraying the 16th Century Boleyn sisters. I have to say, I’m a little disappointed. It’s not the vortex of hotness I had expected. Maybe it’s those headdresses. Or perhaps it’s the historically-accurate purple track suit Natalie is wearing. Oh well, let's hope for some shots of bodice ripping in the future.
Well hello. Meet Det. Megan Wheeler. She’s the newest cop in the “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” universe. I’m telling you, it’s all working for me. The badge. The gun. The hair. The freckles. Yum. Playing Wheeler is Julianne Nicholson, taking over for Annabella Sciorra as Chris Noth's partner on CI. Already, the show has teased us with the is-she, isn’t-she a dyke dynamics. A butch female mechanic (bandana, tattoos, tank top, the whole nine) gives her the old up-and-down. And then later in the episode the mechanic continues to probe and casually mentions her own girlfriend. Instead of shutting her down, Wheeler flirts back. A little. She hasn't taken the whole bait yet, but I say let’s keep fishing.
I don't know about you, but I think Alanis Morissette looks less than thrilled that she is being woman-handed by Roma Maffia in this shot. And why is Roma giving her the grandma cheeks treatment? Anyway, images from Alanis' three episode lesbian story arc on Nip/Tuck were released today. Her character, Poppy, plays the love interest for Roma's Dr. Liz Cruz. Maybe she'll be more happy about it after she finishes her coffee.
Damn. Look at Harry Potter! My how he's grown. Still a little pale, but wow. The boy wizard is turning into the boy stud. Pictures from "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" hit the internet today. The film will open July 2007. I have to say while Daniel Radcliffe has changed the most, Emma Watson is no slouch either. Girl looks good. And I'm now going directly to hell for thinking that because she is like 16 years old. Yes, directly to hell, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
I think it’s fairly telling that a movie called “Jackass” was the No. 1 film in the country this weekend. God bless America.
Miss Cleo, the Jamaican-accented psychic of late-night infomercial fame, has come out as a lesbian. I could insert an off-color joke comparing palm reading to a euphemism for a sex act with the female genital at this point, but we’re classy here at Surrenders (hey, stop laughing, we are classy...) However, this news is making me feel a little psychic. I see her cruising the gay bars using that old line, “Baby, you know I can see into the future…”
So, what the fuck happened to Jared Leto? Remember when he was all dreamy and broody with those pretty eyes on My So-Called Life? I do. I wasn't sure who I thought was cuter, him or Claire Danes. Yeah, it's not much of a contest these days. I mean, he's not the first actor to try his hand at rock stardom (hell, he's not even the only one to try with 30 in his band name). And he's not the first man to wear too much eyeliner (but Bob wore it well, dammit). He's not even the first guy to think he looks awesome with an emo haricut (with ridiculous results). So, why the concern? Because he used to look like this. Sigh.
p.s. Oh, I almost forgot to add that he thinks that "the blog is yesterday’s parachute pants. It’s here now but it’s gone tomorrow." Sure, buddy, but that frosty blue eyeshadow is clearly the wave of the future...
¡Muy Caliente! It doesn't get more va-va-voomy than Salma Hayek. This Latin lovely has beauty, brains and bodacious curves. Hubba and bubba. When I saw her during the Oscar telecast earlier this year, I temporarily lost the ability to form multisyllabic phrases. Why she would date Edward Norton for - uh...uhmm...uh - damn, there is goes again. Happy weekend, all.
Diane Sawyer finally got to the gay stuff in the continuation of her Good Morning America interview with Clay Aiken today. When asked, “(Are) you are ready to come out and say you are gay?” Clay’s response was a girly laugh and then to blurt out, “That would not make any sense for me to do that...” Now any normal person would expect him to follow that up with … “because I’m not gay.” But instead he followed it up with a “…I’ve gotten to a point now where I feel it’s kind of invasive.” This is a classic case of what isn’t being said speaking volumes.
"I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass."Yes, you read that right. The new Yo La Tengo CD is really called, "I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass." I just felt like sharing the love.
Rosie O’Donnell thinks Oprah has a touch of the gay. Today on “The View,” Rosie said that the relationship between the Queen of Talk and business partner/best galpal/hetero lifemate Gayle King pings her gaydar. She also refuted Oprah’s claims that just because they aren’t having sex, they aren’t gay.
“They are always together, but you know they are not lovers. But I think that is very typical of gay relationships …You know, two women get together and after year two all they do is spoon. You now what I’m saying. She’s like, ‘Well we’re not having sex. We’re not gay.’ Well, you might be a little bit gay, you’re just not doing it ... Everyone can be a tiny bit gay.”
So, essentially, Ro thinks O has a case of the lesbian bed death. I can see it now, "Tomorrow on Oprah, 10 ways to stop spooning and start screwing!"
American Idol runner-up and object of idolatry for countless middle-aged housewives Clay Aiken kinda, sorta, not-really addressed the persistent gay rumors swirling around him in a People magazine interview. When asked, The Big Gay Question, he responded:"What do you say (to that question)? ... It's like when I was 8. I remember something would get broken in the house, and Mom and Dad would call me in and say, 'Did you do this?' Well, it didn't matter what I said. The only thing they would believe was yes. ... People are going to believe what they want."
OK, well this person is going to keep believing you're gay. Otherwise, why would you channel your inner k.d. lang with that new look?
Holy shit. I just watched the premiere of “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip,” and wow. The series had tons of hype coming into the fall season with critics hailing it as the “Next Big Thing.“ Let me tell you, it lived up to its billing. This show is smart. Whip smart. It’s a show-within-a-show that follows the backstage goings on at a suspiciously “SNL”-like sketch comedy show (hell, it's even on the NBS channel...) that has lost its funny. It opens with the longtime producer having an on-air “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore” breakdown about the abysmal state of television. And it only gets better. Plus, while I don’t see any discernable gay content yet, the show stars out actress Sarah Paulson. Interestingly, she plays a devout Christian actress/singer. I know, now you’re thinking, “Damn! Why didn’t I watch.” Fear not, you still can. Through the magic of the interweb, you can catch the whole thing online, today. If you still need convincing, read the raves from my favorite TV columnist Tim Goodman.
Get ready for a shock. Willie Nelson was cited today for misdemeanor possession or marijuana and mushrooms. OK, your world can continue spinning now.
Let's go back to basics for this weekend's crush: Billie Holiday. One note, and you knew you were in love. Happy weekend, all.
This image is almost to fucked up to post. I think Kate Bosworth is a perfectly nice young actress. She's pretty, a little bland for my taste, but capable. But now, I think she is insane. This is a picture of her a few days ago at Fashion Week in New York City. When you can see the exact contours of your sternum and ribcage without the benefit of an X-ray machine, you are too thin. When will young women realize that starvation is not hot? Not hot! This is ridiculous. And dangerous. And so very wrong.
