what were they thinking?


well, here's another one for the bad celebrity baby name file. congrats to proud parents ashlee simpson and pete wentz on their son (drumroll please): bronx mowgli wentz. ummm, what the hell? the mowgli part is kind of cool... at least in the jungle book, he's sort of a fun, rascaly kid. but just think about it: bronx wentz? it's almost too zippy. the experts had a lot to say about it. baby naming expert Maryanna Korwitts said, "Bronx Wentz? Little problem in the flow there in saying the name. ... We've got some problems in that Bronx and Wentz are both one syllable, and it's a very herky-jerky type of thing when you're saying it." Well said, lady.

for more celebrity baby madness, i recently came across the celebrity baby blog where you can read to your hearts content about other peoples' babies whom you will never meet. be sure to read the interview with brad pitt. the title of the article is "Brad Pitt on more kids, 'Why should I stop?'" I'll just leave the rest for you all to read....

what will they think of next?


if you saw the daily show from last night, you already know about this >2008 Presidential Campaign condoms. yes, you heard me correctly. they have obama, mccain and of course, palin condoms. don't forget to click on the links for each individual candidate. the obama and mccain pages have pretty good soundbites, but the palin page is the best by far.

my two loves.

can you tell which one is Kate?

1. Do you like Lost? Let me rephrase. Are you as obsessed with Lost as I am?! (Most likely not possible, but I'm sure you can come close.) Assuming you are counting down the days to January 21 as I am, please read this article. Be sure to watch the embedded, totally nuts video clip!!!

2. All I can say is: Harry Potter trailer. Augfohonadocihhdokphs!!!

two mid-monday tidbits.

numero uno - i am equal parts giddy and shocked at the following nytimes article: 12-Year-Old's a Food Critic, and the Chef Loves It. first off, the kid's name is David Fishman. jewish much? if you weren't convinced, he lives on the Upper West Side. the article goes on to explain how his parent's left him alone (wtf?!) and instead of get his usual "hummus take-out dinner" he decided to try out this new, swanky restaurant that he had noticed. i partially want to hang out with him because he seems like a super cool, mature kid. but on the other hand - what kind of kid thinks it's normal to eat by himself at a brand new, hip UWS restaurant?! weirdo. you'll have to read the whole article for the full story, but it's pretty much out of control.

dos: for those of you who don't know, i will be a bridesmaid in a certain person's (ok, two people are getting married. and i think they are both equally superb) wedding next year. instead of the usual tradition of making bridesmaid dresses, we decided to check out what the internet had to offer us. what we found is something you all should see, whether you are in the market for bridesmaid dresses, or just general hilarity. can't wait to wear my mormon dress to a very relig jewish wedding!

i (don't) love jesus.

all i have to say is: wtf?!

dino-mite!

if you have been racking your brain, trying to think of what to get me for my birthday, look no further! i would like the playskool kota my triceratops dinosaur, please!

ok - it's an animatronic, "life-size" (how do they know?), baby dinosaur that stand 3 feet tall! it responds to voice and touch with roaring and laughing sounds, and has expressive tail (?), head, eye, mouth and horn movements. it also comes with 4 adventure-themed tunes, weighs a mere 60 pounds and comes with "leafy snacks" to feed your new friend!

i hope to meet kota in a few weeks on my birthday! thank you in advance, friends!
i think it's pretty sad that, now that i am a businesslady, i find dilbert hilarious. also, the above comic is basically what i do on a daily basis....

make it work!

For all of the Project Runway fans out there, you should definitely watch the ew.com video interview with Tim Gunn, where he discusses, among other things, Kenley's bad-ittude. You know that if Tim Gunn thinks you suck, that means you really, really suck. You rock my socks, Tim.
