In an interview with Harper’s magazine this week, she explains that alcohol is a trusted friend that helps her get through stressful red carpet events:

The sister astrologer duo take a very methodological approach to astrology. They have worked with celebs like Beyonce and Sting, and their forecasts appear in Elle, Lifetime and on Sirius/XM radio. Using a person's birth date, as well as the time and their location, the twins work up an astrological chart by mapping the exact location of the planets when you were born. The chart reads like a cosmic road map – of your strengths, weaknesses, past life experiences, and lessons you're meant to learn in this one. They can forecast periods of peace and prosperity in your life, and help to explain times of conflict and change. Tipped off to their existence by a friend, I decided to get the low down on how they became astrologers, ask some questions about astrology that I’ve always wondered, and get my own reading. How did you (both) become astrologers? Shortly after that, we got some free software to cast charts, and began doing that for all our friends. We would read the interpretations of their Moon or Venus sign from various books. But we both have photographic memories, so we’d remember everything we read, or nearly every person’s sign we ever talked to about it. So we became this fun party trick/carnival act — identical twin astrologers! — and friends started calling us The AstroTwins. A few years later, we were in New York, and a friend introduced us to the editor of Teen People. We wowed her with our twin shtick and got our first magazine column. It just took off from there. What do you do when you disagree on a forecast? What's the difference between an astrologer and a psychic? What training/certification is out there for would-be astrologers? How do you see the role of astrology in people's lives? What are the signs of a quack astrologer? How does one go about finding a good astrologer? It's not really something you can look up on Yelp… Do people under the same sign really tend to exhibit the same traits? What's the biggest "Whoahhh…" moment in your careers? What would you be if you weren't astrologers? What's the best sign? No, really..tell us.. Post from: Crushable |

| Parting Tweet: Even Josh Groban Thinks Its Lame To Cry To His Songs Posted: 03 Dec 2010 03:49 PM PST OK. This story is sort of inside baseball (er, inside football?), but hilarious. Last night in Ann Arbor, University of Michigan’s football team its annual banquet dinner. Head coach Rich Rodriguez had a bad season. The team didn’t do very well, and many Michigan fans want him out. So Rodriguez decided it was time for an emotional, stirring speech. Who did Rich Rod look to in this trying time? None other than Josh Groban. He played Groban’s “You Raise Me Up” for the crowd. And then he started crying. And yes, even Josh Groban thinks this was pathetic. We don’t claim to be big football fans, so can’t be positive about this one. But we’re pretty sure there’s no CRYING IN FOOTBALL! The fact that Rich Rod cried at all is pretty funny in its own right. But then Josh Groban found out about it. And left this tweet:

| 5 Facts About Benjamin Millepied, Natalie Portman's Hot Choreographer Boyfriend Posted: 03 Dec 2010 03:03 PM PST
1. He is a stone cold fox. This is the most important point. Remember. 2. His name means one million feet. I’m not sure if that’s his given name. But it may possibly be the best name for a dancer ever. The end. 3. He has a Bauhaus tattoo.
According to Details:
But we still like the idea of him being super into Gothy New Wave early 80s band Bauhaus… 4. He cast himself as the male dancer in Black Swan. After working with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis for about a year on Darren Aronofksy’s movie, he suggested they cast him as the supporting male dancer. From New York:
5. He can make anyone not look like a jackass. According to Mila Kunis, he is a magician when it comes to teaching people to dance:
We have a theory on how he makes his dance partners not look like assholes. And it may have to do with drawing all of the negative attention to himself. We really have nothing to base this on. Except for one amazing photo, courtesy of Getty:

| Dear Lingerie Companies, Who Are You Making Ads For? Posted: 03 Dec 2010 02:28 PM PST Have you guys seen this La Senza commercial, where women in their underwear lie down on mattresses and sing out different chords of “Deck the Halls” according to their cup size? Does that make you want to go out and buy bras, or what?? It’s like the whole Victoria Secret “angels” thing: they are like the Playboy Bunnies of lingerie. Except the whole point about Playboy is marketed and sold to men. Not so, underwear, which ostensibly us chicks are still supposed to purchase for ourselves. What about Adriana Lima strutting down a runway with her unrealistic body proportions and sparkly wings is supposed to make me want to go buy a $60 bra that’s going to make my nipples pop out no matter how many times I get re-sized? I understand that women want to be sexy, and that having a commercial being like “Underwire support, y’all!” is not exactly appealing to either gender. And yes, it’s true that women’s fashion is geared toward looking attractive to the opposite sex (as is menswear, though less so). But FYI lingerie marketers: we’re the ones buying these products. We are under no illusions that putting on your bras will make our waistline shrink. And having your entire advertising structure pertain to only 3 percent of the population does not make the majority of America come a’runnin. Oh, and this might be besides the point, but why bother having ads that objectify women when your entire consumer base is women (and transvestite)? What sense does that make??! Of course, this does not apply to Japan’s singing bra, which is awesome and totally nonsexist. Post from: Crushable Dear Lingerie Companies, Who Are You Making Ads For? |

But these cuff links, either matte silver with a maze with tiny silver ball or a real, working chrome-plated sand timer filled with blue sand, are also fun diversions for your man. No engraving needed here. Round Maze Cufflinks
Blue Sandtimer Cufflinks
The No Fuss Guy

Plus, it’s made from recycled plastic and will help protect his phone from damage. Holds up to 3 cards or IDs, and is available for the iPhone 4 or 3G. The Minimalist 4 for iPhone 4 (Black)

| Hot Shot: Josh Holloway Cut Off His Sawyer Hair Posted: 03 Dec 2010 01:52 PM PST
We wonder what kind of nicknames Sawyer would call the newly short-haired Josh Holloway. GQ? Barbershop? Pretty Boy? (Did we leave anything out?) What we like most about Josh’s new ‘do is how conducive it looks to running fingers through for hours at a time. What we like least is that it’s a reminder that LOST is over for good, which is something we still haven’t come to terms with.
