Hi there everyone! I’m here in BEAUTIFUL Quebec City. Mais oui, I’ve been here since yesterday. My brother’s wedding was in Montreal this weekend, so, Josh-O and I figured we’d make a holiday of it and drive to Quebec City, which is 3 hours from Montreal. We’ll return to Montreal for the Jewish High Holidays and then, finally, back to Toronto on Sunday.
You know what this means though, don’t you….I’m missing some of the biggie premiers: The Amazing Race and, quite possibly, America’s Next Top Model — say it isn’t so!!! Hopefully, ANTM will re-air, as it always has, on Tuesday night….The first show is no biggie, anyway. I’ll just hold on to that….
Last night, I dreamt I was dating Vince Vaughan….
Anyway, you came here for gossip. So, check it:
WE HAVE A NAME!
Sutton Pierce Federline. Yup, same initials as their first son Sean Preston. What’s up with the S.P.F. initials? I don’t think Brit Brit has a penchant for sunscreen…. The girl’s a complete tanning addict. I mean we’ve seen more pics of her pregnant and in a bikini than we’ve seen of Nicole Ritchie or Lindsay Lohan running bikini-clad on the beach — too too many pics. Anyway, another fancy, prestigious name for the Federline fam. Like it?
NICOLE EATING (ALWAYS EXCITING…)
Last week, Nicole told Tyra Banks (on Tyra’s talk show) that she didn’t have an eating disorder. Here are some pics of her chowing down with beau Brody Jenner at an LA burger joint over the weekend– confirming, or refuting, her claim…:
I think I can, I think I can…!
Must. Swallow.
Napkin ready in skinny hands….
Eject food in napkin now….
Whew. So glad that’s over.
Sorry if I was mean. Hate being mean. She’s just dangerously skinny, and a role model — to our daughters. These constant public displays of eating (P.D.E.’s) remain unconvincing….

JESSICA BIEL KISSES HER GIRLFRIENDS….

The Intergossips are all gaga over this because guys think it’s so hott. I personally don’t kiss my friends this way….Do you?
SPEAKING OF HOTTNESS….

21-year-old Scarlett Johansson will appear on the cover of October’s issue of InStyle magazine! Yes! A "curvy" and beautiful woman (to think!)! She talks about how she’s happy with how she looks: "I’m curvy – I’m never going to be 5’11’ and 120 pounds. But I feel lucky to have what I’ve got." (quoted by Rogers Yahoo News). You go girl! See why we love her here?
WOOPDEEDOO: LINDSAY FRACTURED HER LOVELY WRIST
She fractured it on Saturday, at a Fashion Week party. Apparently, she and her peeps are investigating the incident: the floor may have been too slippery….
…But the fact that she now covers the cast everywhere she goes suggests that somebody’s a little embarrassed — that maybe it wasn’t the slippery floor but, rather, a few too many, if you know what I mean….Oooo I’m being cheaty today, aren’t I!?!

Kay, so that’s today’s gossip. How bout you? Got any scoop? Anything you want me to look into? Leave a comment and let me know! Or, just say hi. I’m all the way out here in Quebec City, and I’m wonewy! How’s about a wee comment? (wink wink!)
If you want to hear about my mortifying giggle session while standing up for my brother at his wedding….go to my other blog. Heck, go there anyway. I got the deets on Quebec City, the Monkey’s new words, and, more seriously, the air around here and in Montreal after the tragic shooting at Dawson.
Miss you! xo Haley-O

I respect your comment, Jennifer, but I have to disagree with you. No one “signs up” to be a role model. She put herself out there, on a reality TV show that actually targets teens. She put herself out there as a very openly recovering heroin addict — someone with the strength to come back after hitting rock bottom….Only to return with another addiction (anorexia is an addiction to (or obsession with), among other things, weight). Since, as you put it yourself, it’s obvious that she has a problem, it would be good if she would decide once and for all to be truthful about it — as hard as that is for an anorexic. She wavers back and forth: sometimes she says she has a problem (and I’m, like, yay!), and then she comes back, like on the recent Tyra Banks show, with “no I’m not.”
Just because your daughters don’t think of her as a role model doesn’t make my statement “ridiculous.” Seriously, the one example you give of your two daughters isn’t evidence of that. That’s only evidence that you have daughters with a strength of conviction. And, that’s wonderful. MANY, many girls their age aren’t as blessed. Anorexia is rampant. Many girls look at Nicole Ritchie and Zoe Rachel’s other skinny clients as role models.
As for what you call my “poor taste” and the fact that I “don’t know the girl.” You’re right. But, in case it isn’t clear enough, this is a “gossip” column. So, I don’t claim to know a single thing! I just report the gossip and give you the pics that the “intergossips” are circulating.
Thank you very much for your very thoughtful comment. I do appreciate it even though I feel a little misunderstood. Thank you for your take on it. I seriously am glad, and hopeful, that there are teens and pre-teens, like your daughters, who are unaffected by our culture’s obsession with being thin.
Jennifer says
I happen to think that parents need to rethink the whole “role model” thing when it comes to some of these celebrities out there. Nicole Ritchie did not sign up to be a role model… she was a heroin addict before starting The Simple Life, therefore eating disorder or not she was not a role model to begin with. Its painfully obvious that Nicole Ritchie has a problem, she’s extremely skinney. Has she come out and told our daughters to stop eating or become paper thin like her? I have two daughters, both pre teen age and quite frankly they do not consider this girl a role model so I think your statement is really ridiculous. You dont know this girl. For all you know she may have a hidden condition, something she does not want people to know about. Cut her some slack and dont post pictures of this poor girl trying to eat. That is just in poor taste.
Kim says
I agree seeing girls so thin when it is not their natural state is so sad. Good health should be the priority but it a fast paced world that is hard to hold on to. Do not want my daughters to go down that path but at ages 9 and 4 they suck it all up.
Tug says
Now I’m hungry for a big juicy burger…and Lindsay just needs to go away. With Brit.
Jen says
Thanks for visiting us, Haley! We miss you too. I CAN NOT believe you are going to miss America’s Next Top Model!! So sad. I’ll fill you in on all the deets.
I have never seen anyone “eat” so many burgers in my life…how does she do it and remain so svelte (nudge nudge, wink wink).
