Serious Gossip (and a little Housekeeping)

"G-D bless you, G-D": my favourite line from Big Brother EVAH — of course, not including ANYTHING Dick or Dr. Will ever said…. ANYWAY! WAHmber (the sayer of this fab blessing) is truly, truly somethin’ else! More psychotic with every episode. And, eeeeee! Big Brother is having FUN with the religee-os! The haunting Gregorian chanting in the background is TOO MUCH! Heeeee!

Do you think Jessica really likes Eric? I’m not so sure…..

Hey you! Gorgeous, behind that screen. Yes, YOU! Why aren’t you watching Big Brother?? WHY??

Hi Gorgeouses!

On tap today, we got: some housekeeping matters; BRIDGET MOYNAHAN names her babe; OWEN WILSON attempted suicide; JEN AND BEN — who does VI’s hair better?; AMY WINEHOUSE boycott?; and, more!

check it!!!

HOUSEKEEPING…

Eeeeek! My eyes! MY EYES! Yes, that’s me. Stretch marks, bad haircut, puff, and all. You KNOW you wanted to see that…, ahem. I really should put my puffy self in hiding for the next month. But, that would be so un-Dove-campaign-like of me…. Anyway. Let’s talk for a sec. I’m 35 weeks preggers. Yesterday, Allison asked me a really sweet question in the comments, and I thought I’d answer it in this here post. Question: "how long will your maternity leave from blogging be? you will be very
missed, and I’m sure many will be thinking of you, wishing you sleep,
etc." Awww!? You LIKE me! You REALLY LIKE ME! hee! I LOVE YOU, ALLISON! Okay, so, seriously. My goal is to just keep writing — all three blogs — as soon as possible after I get home from the hospital. I predict I’ll need about 2 weeks to get SORT OF used to everything, you know? And, within those 2 weeks, I’ll keep you all in the loop as to what’s going on with me. I also plan on writing MINI GOSSIP POSTS here and there within those 2 weeks, and longer posts as time goes on — until I can manage this format again. So, keep your eyes on that homepage for new tidbits of IMPORTANT GOSSIP INFORMATION! There may even be several "mini gossip posts" in one day? You never know? How does that sound?

I mean, if a writer-friend of mine brought her laptop to the HOSPITAL to write her column, I can DO THIS! Right, Gorgeouses? But, I can promise you I won’t be bringing my macbook to the hospital. I think my family would submit me to psychiatric evaluation if I did….

You know…. I’d really like a makeover after my pregnancy…. New wardrobe…. Maybe I should contact one of those Slice shows I’m addicted to….

So, check it out, Dawg, check it out. Brillers Canadian freelance writer, Zoey Castelino, gave us a GREAT WRITE-UP on her wicked blog. CHECK IT HERE. WE LOVE YOU, ZOEY! Thank you! And, totally ADORE YOUR WEBSITE — it’s always hip, smart, funny, provocative, original, and totally where-it’s-at. Check it, Gorgeouses! LOVE!

BRIDGET MOYNAHAN NAMES HER BABE AND LEAVES "BRADY" OUT OF IT

(She’s so gorj.) Bridget Moynahan named her new baby boy. And, it’s a surprisingly "normal" name for a celebrity baby:  John Edward Thomas Moynahan. NOT surprisingly, she chose to give the baby her own surname, as opposed to the daddy’s (Tom Brady’s). Girl Powah!

OWEN WILSON ATTEMPTED SUICIDE

This is not the kind of gossip I like to hear or talk about. But, I have to bring it. We know that celebs are self-destructive: the drugs, the drinking, the sex tapes, etc., etc.. But, this is the worst. Funny-man Owen Wilson, 38, is not a happy man. On Sunday, Owen’s brother Luke discovered him near dead and called 911.

Sources from Star magazine and National Enquirer claim that Owen attempted suicide by slitting his wrist and popping pills. But, that hasn’t been confirmed. There are rumours that he may be addicted to heroin and cocaine, and that he has been battling chronic depression; other sources say that an intense fight with a close friend put Owen over the edge; there are also rumours of an intervention staged by the family and good friend Woody Harrelson. But, again, none of this has been confirmed. All we know is that Owen is now recovering from the episode in hospital, and that his family (including a deeply concerned Luke) is there with him.

Owen himself gave the following statement to Reuters: "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and
heal in private during this difficult time."

Poor guy! You know it’s REALLY BAD when someone attempts suicide. I hope the media honours his request for privacy, and that he heals both physically and mentally. I really like Owen. This makes me really sad. I’m sick for him and his family.

Owen has several movies coming out, and a movie with Jennifer Aniston in the works (the filming of which may or may not be delayed). Hopefully, his career won’t suffer from this. He is a huge talent, and people love him. Of course, knowing the way showbiz and the public are, this will probably help his career….

VIOLET’S HAIR: JEN’S WAY OR BEN’S WAY

I have to say, EVERYONE can tell when Josh-O has dressed the monkey. When he dresses the monkey, her clothes are oversized, mismatched, and probably have some kind of poker innuendo on them. Then there’s the hair. When he does her hair, it’s MESSED UP (except for the other day, after we watched the Superstar Hair Challenge on Slice…, and he did some AMAZING Greta-Garbo-inspired do…). Usually, he’s a big fan of the pony tail on our little monkey…and it’s never good. A-NY-WAY, looks like celebs have the same hair issue. Check Vi’s hair in these two pics:

And, here we have a beautifully smooth side-part, one-barrette hairdo. Vi looks elegant and mature with this gorj style. Bonus: her hair looks just like MOM’S (except SO BLOND)! How sweet is THAT!? LOVERLY.

And, here we have the typical Daddy-do. One side UP. Aaaaand, one side DOWN. You can tell he thinks it’s TOO cute: just look at his knowing smile. He done good — and he knows it…ahem, hee! There’s definitely a charm to the daddy-do…. Gotta love it. Just gotta.

BRITNEY’S BEING INVESTIGATED FOR CHILD ABUSE

I’m so done with her. She’s now being investigated for child abuse. That’s all we need to know right now. She totally sucks. Those poor kids. I’m done feeling sorry for her. DONE. As in, DUNZO. No photo required. Too EW.

AMY WINEHOUSE BOYCOTT

Great tats, Winehouse….

Winehouse’s in laws have called for a boycott of her albums to encourage her to stop doing drugs. According to them, both Amy and their son Blake are addicts, and that they refuse to admit it or "believe [that] they are."  Here’s what Giles Fielder-Civil (Blake’s father) told BBC Radio 5 Live:

Georgette and I both believe that they are drug addicts, and they don’t believe they are….I think they
believe they are recreational users of drugs, and they are in control,
but it seems to Georgette and I that this isn’t the case.

Believe it or not, Georgette and Giles also approached the couple’s drug dealer and asked him to stop supplying. Of course, OF COURSE, they were unsuccessful.

Here’s what else Georgette and Giles told BBC radio:

[Georgette:] I think they both need to get medical help, before one of
them, if not both of them, eventually will die….[Giles:] We
are concerned that if one of them dies, the other will die. They are a
very close couple, and if one dies through substance abuse, the other
may commit suicide.

So, they’re asking for our help: STOP BUYING HER MUSIC, they ask, TO SHOW HER "that her addiction and her behavior are not acceptable." They also ask that she not win any of the awards for which she’s nominated at September 4th’s Mercury Music Prize.

Good for them! Supportive family. I hope it’s not a lost cause. Again, sad.

GORGOUSES! Just look at this post today. It’s pathetic, really. Celebrities are LOSING IT, SELF-DESTRUCTING. IS FAME TODAY TOO MUCH TO HANDLE? HOW ARE CELEBS’ KIDS GOING TO TURN OUT, GROWING UP AS THEY ARE UNDER THE BLINDING LIGHTS OF THE FLASH BULBS OF FAME? CORRUPT. IT’S ALL CORRUPT. WE NEED MORE JEN, BEN AND VI’S IN THE WORLD. LESS BRITNEY’S. MORE KATE WINSLETS. LESS KATE MOSSES. MORE CLIVE OWENS (he’s a family guy!). LESS PARIS HILTONS AND LINSAY LOHANS. MORE BEYONCES. LESS WINEHOUSES. MORE DENZEL WASHINGTONS. AND LESS…. YOU GET MY POINT.

Hey! How come Lindsay Lohan only gets 1 day in jail, Nicole Ritchie only gets 80-something minutes, and Paris gets a measly few weeks, WHILE PHYLLIS NEWMAN gets SIX YEARS!!! WHERE’S THE JUSTICE?????????? This SUCKS. I love Phyllis, and it breaks my heart that she’ll be separated from her little Summer to go to jail for YEARS for freaking minor EXTORTION. WHO WROTE THAT SCRIPT. Get him on the phone, NOW!
