Gossip for the Soul…

Rough day, Gorgeouses. The monkey’s barely 18 months old, and she’s officially entered her terrible twos!  She’s addicted to Dora (which totally cracks me up), obsessed with the moon ("MYLA"!), and has the fluffiest little dimply hands EVAH. I can’t take it! Anyway, the kid’s a total HANDFUL, Gorgeouses! I can’t believe it. And, yet…she’s hysterical. So, although, I’m exhausted from chasing after this newly-walking thang, I’m laughing the whole time. And, laughter is GOOD FOR THE SOUL! LOVE!

RACHAEL RAY NEEDS TO WASH HER MOUTH OUT WITH A LITTLE EVOO

I just wanted to say "EVOO." I know, the title of this item makes little sense, but you know what I mean. Rachael is the new Isaiah, the new Mel, the new Michael Richards. Check it. According to TMZ.com, Rachael made terrible racist remarks at a dinner, in December 2005 (when Oprah was considering taking on Ray’s show):

We’re told Ray became "extremely loud and aggressive," and began
dissing Oprah. Sources say she told the group about a portrait of Oprah
that sits in the lobby of Harpo Productions in Chicago. It’s from the
movie "Beloved" and shows Winfrey’s back, enhanced with scars. She’s
also wearing a skirt from the slavery era.

Back at the table,
sources say Ray launched into attack mode: "Why is she wearing slave
drag? She obviously has problems being black."

But Oprah
wasn’t Ray’s only target. Sources say she told the group how much she
liked Jennifer Aniston and then called Brad Pitt a "pussy boy." But her
harshest comments were reserved for Angelina Jolie, calling her "a
skanky, backdoor c**t.

So, Ms. Ray may be in some trouble. I’ll keep you posted. This episode has definitely gotten Oprah’s attention. Of course, Ray’s publicists and companions at the table deny that Rachael said any such things.

KATY HOLMES LOOKING PRETTY(ISH) AT THE GIORGIO ARMANI PRIVE FASHION SHOW, PARIS

Who knew that marrying Tom Cruise is the key to becoming a fashion icon. This nauseates me. She’s so totally still the same old Joey from Dawson’s Creek. She’s like a sheep in wolves’ clothes — only she’s a sheepish sad girl in fashionista clothing. There’s no hiding the misery. I’m sorry. I just don’t buy any of this. It’s, like, soooooo weird and whateves….

At least she knows how to get out of a car (unlike…Britney, Paris, Lindsay, etc., etc.)….

Well…sort of. OOPS!

JESSICA BIEL IS SINGLE AGAIN AND MAYBE HOOKING UP WITH…

…JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE! (FYI, Derek Jeter has already been spotted cavorting with other women on the dance floor….) Justin and Jess were seen flirting at the Golden Globes after-parties…. She totally has the best butt in Hollywood (perhaps the world, not including you, Gorgeouses). I mean, it even looks good in ratty jogging pants….

Wow….It’s absolutely perfect….

ANG PICKS MADDOX UP FROM SCHOOL

Sighhh…A day in the life. They are, indeed, the sweetest couple in Hollywood. As much as she annoys the crap out of me on paper, I love witnessing her growing bond with Maddox.

TYRA SPEAKS UP AGAINST PUBLIC’S ATTACK ON HER WEIGHT

One day not long ago, Tyra did a google search. She typed in "Tyra Fat." And, she was BLOWN AWAY by the number of articles she found in response to pictures like this one (In the now-infamous one-piece):

Now, I say, KUDOS to Tyra for striking back with an "I LOOK GREAT" strategy, rather than a "THIS MOTIVATED ME TO LOSE THOSE NAGGING 30 POUNDS I GAINED SINCE I RETIRED FROM MODELING" strategy. I myself have gained some new respect for Tyra. As nutty and annoying as this girl is, she’s bootilicious and proud of it — and you gotta love that.

So, I’m going to try to watch as many Oscar films before the Oscars as I can. And, GORJ reader LAVENDULA is the only person who said she’ll do it with me! Anyone else in? Because, as awesome as Lav and I are, we’re only 2 people. And, that’s a really little number, GORGEOUSES! Whateves. Be like that. Okay, I still LOVE you. Anyway, this weekend, come hell or high water (as they say), I’m going to rent me some Little Miss Sunshine, which is up for several awards. We’ll talk about it next week.

Don’t forget to come visit me at The Cheaty Monkey. The monkey and I love GORJ visitors there!
