Oh My GAHHHHH!

Hi All!

I’m still out here in Quebec City. We spent the entire day walking the cobble-stone roads, touring the Musée des Beaux Artes (which used to be prison — so cool), walking along the St. Lawrence River. It was a little too windy out for the monkey’s liking, but we managed. Josh-O and I just have aching backs now from carrying all 22+ pounds of her (the stroller got too windy)….But, otherwise, we’re feeling happy, rested and cultured. The monkey loved the art gallery. I’m not sure if the other visitors loved us so much though: the monkey was very vocal. This was her: "AH ah AH ah AH ah AH ah…" — over and over….I don’t know how she managed to breathe doing that! Anyway, tomorrow, we return to Montreal for the Jewish High Holidays; Josh-O’s family is there. And, then, finally, we go back home on Sunday to Toronto…home to my kitty cats. LOVE and MISS….

Okay, okay, enough about me. Gossip time. Check it!

SURVIVOR: WHA?

The most blog-worthy part of tonight’s episode of Survivor occurred at the very end, when Billy claimed an undying love for Candice. Wha?

The only exchange we’ve ever heard between them was at tonight’s immunity challenge when they exchanged "I love you"’s — surely she didn’t mean it the way he thought she did….And, then he uttered a knowing "I’m next." At tribal council, he claimed it was "love at first sight," that, if he goes home tonight, it’s all okay because he found true love….Yikes! And, hilarious! And, dodododododododo… weirdo!

AMERICA’S NEXT TOP MODEL: CONTROVERSY ALREADY IN EPISODE #1

My very favourite show…and it wasn’t on here in Quebec City. Josh-O and I had made sure we got back to the hotel in time for me (and, totally, him, too) to catch the premier of ANTM. But, alas, it wasn’t on! Luckily (well, sort of) we caught the last half of it at 11pm. Only, the sound was all messed up. I couldn’t hear a damn thing! What a tease! I watched it anyway, of course. And, I’ll watch it again, with sound — the encore presentation’s on this Sunday. Did you hear that one of the photos was stirring up controversy?:

Eating disorder organizations and specialists are unhappy with this photo depicting the stereotypical anorexic model. They argue that it promotes and minimizes a very serious illness that takes many young lives. I don’t know. I suffered from eating disorders growing up. This photo doesn’t offend me. If it gives eating-disorder organizations a platform from which to speak publicly (and on Entertainment Tonight, as one spokesperson did this evening) about anorexia, fine. Great. I think the photo’s pretty cool, though. I also think the treatment of the subject is respectful. The model captured the sadness and anxiety of anorexia really well, huh?

GOSSIP GOSSIP GOSSIP!

RACHEL BILSON: I DON’T GET IT

 

Never mind that shmatah on her head. What’s the deal with Rachel Bilson? I do not think she’s hot. I mean, she’s attractive. But, I don’t think she’s anything to write gossip about. You?

Anyway, she wore this same shmatah at the Teen Vogue awards:

CUTIE PETUTIE BABY KINGSTON!

GORJ. Simply gorj! Looks just like his daddy, doe’n’t he? And, I still maintain that Gwenny’s the only celeb who gets away with the red lipstick these days. Ahem, hint hint, Christina?:

Here’s Christina showing up solo and pissed to Justin Timberlake’s record-release bash.

OH MAH GAHHHHHHH!: WHAT HAPPENED TO JESSICA SIMPSON?

This girl is officially no longer hot. What happened?? She posed for this pic, by the way, at the debut of "Employee of the Month," her new film. Also, also, did you hear? Apparently, Papa Joe is starting a line of Hooters-type restaurants in honour of his precious Daisy Duke….Someone needs a stern talking to! One minister, at least, is totally down on him and the girls: "Their breasts will sag and their faces will wither and they will be left with nothing but a hollow shell." Check it here.

HOW MANDY DRESSES AT THE AIRPORT: GAHHHHHHH!

I now have a renewed respect for my old maternity clothes….Yikes! And, oh yes, that’s Mandy MOORE!

Okay, the monkey’s seriously overtired and will not sleep in the hotel crib. She needs her mamma NOW! I’ve actually been typing most of this post one-handed — Miss Monkey’s in the other…. So, although there’s soooo much gossip to report, I better go. Purty please take a wee sec to say hi in the comments! If you’re feeling a little more commenty, feel free to address the following questions, or whatever you like! What do you think about Survivor? Did the Hispanic team make a mistake throwing the challenge to boot one of their own? What do you think of the ANTM photo? What’s the deal with Rachel Bilson? Oh, and I’ve yet to confirm, but did you hear Britney’s going for a tummy tuck?? Ugh…And, rumour (I couldn’t resist): Sarah Jessica Parker may be expecting baby #2! Here she is, covering up the evidence!:

Hey, and do check out pics of me glammed up, my 13-pound lighter figure (17 more lbs of baby- and nursing-weight to go!), and beautiful Quebec City…and crepes…. Where, you ask? Over here, at The Cheaty Monkey!
