No Lizzy, That's Not Costume Jewelry




Hilary Duff and her hockey player BF got engaged this past weekend, click here to see photos. Apparently having a NHL playing fiance is this newest accessories in Hollywood (see Carrie Underwood, Elisha Cuthbert, etc) and Kim Kardashian did not get the memo.
What bothers me about these photos is that they obviously know the paps are there and yet they unconvincingly try to make it look like "Surprise! I had no clue anyone could see us" Now the couple has been flaunting the ring ALL over the LA scene. I used to like Hilary Duff, but this obvious call for attention?? Not so much.
I smell an MTV reality show in the making....

PS- The ring was like a million dollars or something- sick.

Reason #35 Why You Should NEVER Rat a Sibling Out

First and foremost- this link is probablt not suitable for work, I'd advise checking outside.
Omg- this is one of the crazier things I think I've ever seen. It makes me love and hate FB all at the same time.

BTW- who keeps a list like this anyway? Commit it to memory sweetie.

Awkward Alert: Oprah and Drew Brees Birthmark



So Drew Brees has a facial birthmark. It's not crazy noticable or anything, it's light and not huge or hideous but it's there. If you watched more than one pre or post superbowl interview you knew it was there. Apparently Oprah did not get the memo. Watch the above clip while she calls out his birthmark by asking him "Who you been kissing?" and wipes his face! Don't people prep her for this s##t?! A few more of these and people are not going to be so sad when 2011 rolls around Ms. Winfrey.

Courtney Love in Oxford

The queen of trash rock n' roll made an appearance at the Oxford Union to speak on Friday.   She was about how I imagined her.  Washed up, drugged up and I don't have much of a clue what she talked about because I couldn't understand her the first 20 minutes.  It was pretty cool though.  She was running late, so I went out to go the the bathroom and who walks in right be for me?  Courtney.  Her entourage asked me to wait 5 minutes to go in, but I went in anyways.  I peed super quickly, just in enough time to see her walk out of the stall and leave the bathroom without washing her hands.  Gross.  It left a crew of British undergrad girls in the bathroom gasping and squealing in shock that she didn't wash her hands.  Nice one Courtney.

The part of her speaking I did understand, she talked about her music career, some time she lived in England, and in Oregon (a shout out to Klamath Falls and Ashland - where I was living -I was shocked), she likes to listen to Mozart and she watches you tube videos about quantum physics.  Hmmmm.. okay.  

The Oxford Union is a pretty prestigious place where lots of famous people come and talk like the Dalai Lama, Winston Churchill, Bill Clinton and Mother Teresa, so I was really surprised that they had Courtney Love.  Chris got to go afterwards and have drinks with her and about 20 other young Oxford undergrads.  She went over to talk to him and some other guy, the other guy stood up out of his chair for her, but Chris stayed seated (burn!).  He said she started to talk to them and then she sat on Chris's lap!  He said she was really gross looking up close.
and the evidence...


I love this photo so much.  These Brit boys with Courtney are extremely cute, nerdy and sort of Harry Potterish I think.

Liberty of London for Target

Not sure if you guys have heard of this place, but I wanted to make sure that you had a heads up when it comes your way.  Liberty of London is one of my favorite stores to wander around inside of in London.  They are extremely talented for having a good eye for design, fabrics, etc....  Love it.  I might have to keep an eye on the Target stuff myself and have one of you guys go buy for me and hold onto until I return to the U.S.  They are collaborating with Target this Spring and are looking to do home goods, bicycles and clothing for this popular UK label.  Be on the look out March 14th!
