"With me, it’s the hair. If you have beautiful and strong hair, then you’re successful with women. In the case of hair loss, it’s all over. [...] I spend at least three or four hours a day in the bathroom. Being sexy day and night is a big responsibility. And I like taking it!" – George Clooney, facetiously to InTouch magazine, on the pressures of being a high-profile sex symbol. (via Cele|bitchy) ...

The story conjures up images not safe for the squeamish, but bears telling. The bulky six-foot-eight behemoth Andre Leon Talley, Vogue's editor-at-large (with the emphasis on "large"), was spotted shopping for XXL Calvin Klein thong underwear at Macy's recently. Urp! But the clerk, perhaps visualizing the product on the customer and realizing nobody wants to see that, denied Talley's request to open a store credit-card account. "It was a big fiasco," a source told Page Six. Talley, short on cash, left and returned later to pick up his banana hammocks. ... Flag post Flag post

The poster says it all, but curator Moye Ishimoto also said this on her Chopstix blog: "You better fucking show up at this opening or I’ll go all “crazian” on your ass…which obviously means I will accidentally brush your shoulder, then bow and apologize profusely for encroaching upon your personal territory, then disembowl myself to save the family honor with a samurai sword while wearing a schoolgirl uniform. Or something like that." Hot. ... Flag post
Oh, yeah, we almost forgot. North Carolina Republican senator, Jesse Helms, who during his 52-year career opposed virtually everything gay, black, and arts-oriented, died, ironically or aptly, on Independence Day at the Mayview Convalescent Center in Raleigh, where he'd lived in declining health for the last few years. He was 86. "Nothing positive happened to Sodom and Gomorrah," he once said, "and nothing positive is likely to happen to America if our people succumb to the drumbeats of support for the homosexual lifestyle."

Of course, for the paparazzi following Jim Carey and Jenny McCarthy along the beach yesterday, it was only a matter of time before Carey, under the guise of showing them how annoyed he was, would change into his wife's swimsuit. (Pix and vid at Pacific Coast News) ... Flag post
Actors Jenny Mollen and Jason Biggs are planning a second ceremony. Since the couple's first marriage was a quickie at the courthouse back in April, they've decided to do it again. "We’re doing everything all screwy," said American Pie veteran Biggs, 30. "We got married, just the two of us, and then decided to do a second ceremony." This one, in Napa Valley next month, will be almost normal. "We actually just bought some of the centerpieces from a flea market," said Mollen, 29, a casualty of the TV series Viva Laughlin, "and there will be feathers and black ... Flag post Flag post
Alex Rodriguez' wife, Cynthia, is telling friends that she's certain Madonna used Kabbalah to brainwash her husband into believing she and A-Rod are "soulmates" after she found a letter in which the Yankee told the Material Girl, "You are my true soulmate." Proof enough, but we think Cynthia's confusing Kaballah with Scientology, the religion that practices mind control. (NY Daily News) ... Flag post

Dear Joey Life affirming! Yes, life affirming! This is what comes to mind when I read the WOW Report. It's beautiful words pick me up when I am down and smack me in the face when I am being a grumpy Gus. It takes a lot to win the title of life affirming as I feel not too many things are. The Beatles, freshly cut construction paper, a cool mountain breeze, and now The WOW Report all fall into my category of life affirming.
