President Obama’s poll numbers have begun to trend downward again. Even as his general approval rating remains in the mid 50s, for the first time since Obama took office, fewer than half of Americans agree with the president on issues important to them. According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, 51 percent now disagree with the president. Obama has seen a loss of support from Republicans as well as Independents on the issue of the war in Afghanistan but it is his leadership or lack thereof, on issues of concern to Liberals and Progressives that is now causing ...

... And goes right for the money shot, kissing a guy smack on the mouth (or damn close to it) while in New York pumping up the public's interest in the Hilary Swank-starring Amelia Earhart biopic. (via Holy Moly!; photos: Big Pictures)

Ah, shoulder pads. They seemed so fresh just a few short months ago, didn't they? During last Spring's Balmainia, you couldn't get enough of them! You wanted to get shoulder implants, didn't you, so that you could live the sharp-shouldered dream! But, like all trends, its ubiquity is now totally ruining your fun. When everybody and their mother is shoving foam pillow corners in their Hot Topic t-shirts, it's time to stop. This picture of Kimmy Kardashian is the absolute coup de grace, isn't it? Sure, she has an enormous ass, and needs a little balance in her fashion silhouette. ... Flag post
Charlie Brewley, Cameron Bright, and my honeybunnybabylover Jamie Campbell Brewer play the vampire royals, The Volturi Clan, in New Moon: The Twilight Saga. I've had a thing for Jamie since he played Anthony in Sweeney Todd and I DEFINITELY like the new blond hair. That is all. (via Splash)

Fergie's daughter, Princess Beatrice, was photographed early this morning leaving the re-opening of London nightclub Chinawhite in the company of her boyfriend, Dave Clark, dutifully following a few steps behind, as is the custom. The royal offspring loves to hang at night with the peasants, who this night really were – Chinawhite is known for drawing a lower-class crowd of mostly chavs, we hear. But when the princess leaves a nightspot, she always seems delightful, sober, and composed, unlike her older kinfolk at the Palace.
When she isn't slumming, she pals around with her friends, Sam Branson, son of ... Flag post
GASP! Today at 7-8PM EST the world's largest juried fine arts prize SHOULD be given to my friend, Ryan Trecartin. A few months back, The Guggenheim Museum announced that they were launching their First Annual Art Awards Show. I KNOW, right?! It feels weird and vulgar (and fun) and I might be horrified had they not had the good sense to nominate Ryan Trecartin as New Artist of the Year. Ryan makes amazing videos and sculptures and has deserved that $150,000 prize all his entire life.
James Franco and Mary Kate Olsen will be there and you can watch the whole thing ... Flag post
Alain Delon – who was perhaps the handsomest movie star human being EVER! – was spotted front row at the Alena Akhmadullina fashion show in Paris today, typically surrounded by a bevy of beauties. They don't seem to mind that he's aged bit since his Purple Noon heyday. Frankly, I don't either. Come on: HE'S FLIPPIN' ALAIN DELON! He could look like a piece of dried up turkey gristle and I'd still lick him clean. (via Marquis de Lannes Journal)

Last Saturday in Manhattan, the handsomer-than-a-hundred-moviestars moviestar, James Franco, before racing over to the SNL set to simply sit in on a sketch and do nothing, gave a talk to fans and students at the New Yorker Festival, where, among other things, he revealed that he still has the prosthetic penis he wore in Milk and has since used it as a mask in another movie. But among those other topics was his head-scratching decision to play a character in a long story arc on General Hospital. His stint on the soap, he said, is part of an ongoing collaboration ...
