In the interest of stating something not-so-interesting, I love the movies. In a little-girl-all-I-want-to-do-is-eat-popcorn-and-stare-at-that-magic-screen-for-hours kind of way. It’s basically my favorite activity. Besides eating of course. Which means that one of the most wonderful days of my year is fast approaching. That’s right, folks, Oscar night is on the way! Like Santa Claus…only it’s not […]
I’m an animal person. Well, except for spiders and snakes and sharks and eels and bugs of all kinds and other terrifying animals. Allow me to rephrase: I am a furry animal person who also has a soft spot for turtles, dolphins, manatees, seals, and other fat, but not really hairy, animals. Give me some […]
Truth be told, there’s pretty much nothing better (in my small world) than sitting at my office desk, looking like I’m a very busy professional, when I’m actually typing things like “Discounted Marc Jacobs bags” into Google.

There’s no doubt that unless you’ve been eating Rice Krispies in a hole for the past year, you know a thing or two about the social networking site, My Space. In many ways, My Space is the sign of a pulse—a collective pulse—amongst the Me Generation. It’s ground zero for “LOL” and “WTF” and other […]
If you are a faithful reader of this column then you know at least two important things about yours truly: I love gossip and I love celebrities. Logic follows then that I love celebrity gossip. In the past I have devoted this meager space to some of the biggest bangs of the celebrity gossip cyberworld, […]
New Year’s means two things for the average person: anticlimactic parties and resolutions. Since I’m not partial to parties, it means only resolutions to me and, oh, there are so many, many resolutions to make and break this New Year’s: stop calling people I think are stupid “retarded,” stop spending all my extra cash on […]
TMZ isn’t a classy site; in fact, TMZ isn’t even a klassy site. But it really is the perfect site for your inner idiot—meaning the part of you that lives for a little schadenfreude at the expense of celebrities. Looking for the Lindsay Lohan’s Red Bull and Vodka-crazed insane Black-berry message? Check TMZ: Chances are […]
As time would have it, Chrismahanukwanzaa has rolled around again and God—in all shapes and sizes—is on everybody’s mind. Well, that is, when everyone isn’t thinking about all the loot they’re gonna get. Now, not to be a buzz kill or anything, but I thought I would take this opportunity to send a shout out […]
