Everybody's talking about....

- Nestor Kirchner: The president of  Argentina passed away yesterday from a heart attack. His widow is in command, taking over his office, a move that has most politicians in Argentina anxious and riled.

- Paul, the fortune-telling octopus: This two year old octupus died this week in his acuarium. He gained fame from predicting (correctly) the outcome of different events, such as this summer's soccer match between Germany and Spain, favoring the latter, in the World Cup.






- Blake Lively and Penn Bagdley: The couple broke up a month ago and have only now let representatives bestow this information to the press. They've agreed to stay friends (they still work together in Gossip Girl)...after three years of going out and Blake stating she wanted "lots and lots of babies" in Allure Magazine this month.

Everybody's talking about....

- Taylor Momsen's boobs: during a recent concert she lowered her ripped shirt to reveal most of her breasts (her nipples were covered in black "X" pasties). It seems that smoking, chugging too many redbulls, wearing ligerie in public, wearing stripper heels, talking about masturbation/ porn/ sexual orientation/ sexual preferences, cursing during interviews, setting fire to her dogs testies (AFTER he was neutered...but still!!), not wearing pants, crawling on all foursand squirming around in her new music video and giving the finger to the paparrazi is not enough for this 17 year old and her dire need to reflect all that is bad-ass and rock&roll. It's no wonder she's been called the "new" or "mini" Courtney Love. I must admit I love the exposed garter belt trend...






My real question is: what's the real reason behind her not appearing in more episodes of Gossip Girl this season? Are the producers and director tired of this rock&roll diva act? It seems to me she was only put in this last episode to prove the remark Tim Gunn said about her (...and I quote: "Taylor Momsen is a pathetic diva") would not ruin his chances of working with her or those linked to her.

















- Katy Perry and Russell Brand got married this past saturday in India: They've planned a week full of activities and festivities for their guests but the ceremony itself took place a day earlier than planned. Plenty of rumors are following the ceremony. Such as:

-->A tiger, who has eaten three people in the past two years (yup, they still roll like that in India), escaped and nearly made it's way to the guests and newly married couple (yup, they had a tiger as part of the festivities).
-->Katy's wedding gift to Russell was a baby elephant and his in return to her a tigress.
-->Katy, Russell and all the guests wore traditional Indian costume,designed personally for them. The guests all had to wear the same colour (supposedly red) as part of the theme for the wedding. Katy sported a nath (a nose ring that partially decorates the face, traditionally worn in Indian weddings and taken off by the groom after the ceremony as a symbol of the bride's virginity being lost...or about to...) and henna paint.
-->Rihanna, who spilled details about the wedding during an interview in April, wasn't able to attend in the end. She said in the interview that she was to be in charge of the bachelorette party...Did she still get to plan it?
-->Pimped out tents were rented for all the guests for the week vs. the rumor that an entire hotel/ ex palace was rented out for private use of the couple and guests for the week.
-->A safari and tour of a wildlife park is part of the activities the guests will participate in...maybe so as to meet the baby elephant and tigress the coupled gave to each other?








-Willow Smith: Her premiere music video, "Whip my hair", is taking the world by storm.Various sites have described her as a "mini-Rihanna", she seems to have teh style to match.....AND she's only 9 years old...AND turns 10 on Halloween...AND she designs her own clothes....Don't try and calculate how many hours of your life were wasted playing Hide-and-go-seek or videogames, you'll just hurt your ego even more.

Whip my hair video

(Cool) Whip my hair [parody]




-Glee stars in GQ: Dianna Agron (Quinn), Lea Michele (Rachel) and Cory Whatshisface (Finn) dressed up as sexy high school students for a photoshoot and were slammed by the Parents Association....They may have mistaken Cory being unbearably tall as him playing the part of a teacher...Lea prancing around in her undies doesn't help much but surprisingly it was Dianna who wrote an online apology. But how would a child get his hands on a GQ magazine anyway?! It's not the first time they include racy photos and most of Lea's photoshoots have portrayed her curves pretty well...











-Glee's Rocky Horror Episode: Who played what part? Who sucked and who rocked? How annoying and pushy is Rachel Berry? Who should sing which songs?
SPOILER: In my own modest opinion, Dr. Frank-n-furter couldn't have been a worse choice. Mercedes has the vocals for most any song but she failed to capture the Sweet Transvestite's quirkyness. But I was EXTREMELY happy to hear Jayma Mays singing "touch-a touch-a touch me!"...and even happier that it was with Will. I dig the John Stamos...I dig the John Stamos in the leather outfit...I dig Santana catcalling John Stamos in the leather outfit...I dig the Santana and Brittany...Oh yeah, I was talking about the Will-Emma-Carl thing....But, er, I'm rooting for Will and Emma since they first appeared onscreen together. I just don't like how Will overdid it this episode to get some time on the clock with "Ems", as Carl called her, and then gave up and gave in. Quinn and Sam are a good match. I was also EXTREMELY happy to see Sam as Rocky and to see they're playing up his character, giving him his own personality to work with, inside jokes, etc. that make these characters more real. Kurt did an awesome RiffRaff although I would have liked to see either him or Puck as Dr. Frank-n-furter.
I had heard rumors that Susan Sarandon wanted to guest star on this episode...but she didn't. They should have written her in as Emma's mother visiting her and maybe done a double scene of "touch-a touch-a touch me" where Emma's rehearsing with Will and Emma's mom tries to put the moves on Carl.
I dig the Brad glasses on Cory (I'm pretty sure it's Monteith or something like that...) Totally reminds me of yesterday's entry on nerd glasses :D
How awesome was Betty dressed up as Sue and Sue carving her own image on a pumpkin!!?!?

END OF SPOILER
I plan to do a Rocky Horror entry soon for Halloween and I'll include GLEEky Horror pics in there along with other fun tributes from the small screen or celebs.

-Miley Cyrus nip slip: supposedly, and i DO mean supposedly, Miley had a wardrobe malfunction (pictured below) during a concert...with her recent love of bodies and ultra-short getups, I was expecting the "accidental crotch-shot" to happen first.
I still think the relationship with Liam is fake but supportedly, the word is that they're closed than ever after getting back together and the eternal engagement rumors are still alive.
