Real Housewife Psychic Allison Dubois Actually Pretty Accurately Predicted Camille Grammer's Divorce

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 11:17 AM PST

Bravo is not ready to let The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills die yet. They’ve already prolonged the reunion episode over multiple hours. And last night, the network ressurected the corpse of “The Dinner Party From Hell.” Granted, psychic Allison Dubois is a gift from the reality TV gods. But the episode was basically a rerun of an earlier episode of the same name.

However! I realized something while rewatching. After the initial viewing, we thought Allison came off as a complete hack. She was drinking too much, puffing away at her electronic cigarette and doling out incorrect readings all over the place. But after rewatching, it seems clear that her predictions for Kyle Richards weren’t wrong. They were just more accurate for Camille Grammer. Did Allision get her psychic signals crossed at the dinner table? We think so!

Take a look at the details. And soon as she had the chance, Allison aimed her future reader at Kyle and started talking about how her marriage was about to end. She asked her ifshe’d have to be married twice.

“I was thinking she’d have to get married again. Meaning you’d have to get a divorce.”

Which is funny. Because no one knew it, but Camille was about to go down that path. And then she pulled out this winner:

"Your husband will never emotionally fulfill you. Ever. Know that… As soon as the kids are bigger, you'll have nothing in common."

That also sounds like an accurate depiction of Camille’s marriage.  And as Taylor helpfully noted:

“If she’s so psychic, why didn’t she see what Kelsey was doing to Camille? As we sat there?”

But maybe she did. At one point, Allison explained that Kyle talks more easily to males. But that doesn’t seem accurate. Kyle has lots of female friends. It’s Camille who has that issue….

Which she mentioned: “Wait. that’s me!”

And it all went downhill from there.

Said Allison:

“He loves his nannies. You can’t fault him. She’s an icy bitch.”

Again, that sounds more like Camille. And who did Kelsey start dating during his marriage?

Oh right. A flight attendant.

Who Is Shia LaBeouf's New Girlfriend, Karolyn Pho?

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 11:00 AM PST


Shia Labeouf’s been spotted out and about with a new lady recently, a Vietnamese woman named Karolyn Pho. Karolyn’s a 22-year-old stylist from Anaheim, California — and that’s pretty much all we know about her. She’s a mystery! We’ve managed to deduce that she’s fond of black clothing and meals at cute outdoor tables, though. Also: lots of sunglasses, this one has.

Check out this paparazzi video of Shia and Karolyn eating breakfast. It’s totally hilarious; the pap’s commentary is worth a thousand videos, and one video is already worth a million words. Cheers:

Hermione is growing her hair out. Actress Emma Watson says it’s harder to get roles with her short hair, so she is growing it out. That makes us sad for some reason. (NYDN)

New York Times Highlights The Plight Of Fauxbese Female Celebrities

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 10:33 AM PST

Have you ever noticed that actresses eat a lot of fried and greasy food while being interviewed by journalists? It’s an annoying habit that seems intended to prove that said actress is not anorexic. But in reality, it usually goes to prove that she is full of LIES. Because 100 pound actresses don’t go around eating cheeseburgers and fries right before big events like the Oscars. It’s unpossible.

And now, thanks to The New York Times, we know of a new word for this phenomenon: DIPE. That stands for the documented instance of public eating, and is often a featured element in magazine profiles of female celebrities. But that abbreviation is not quite satisfying enough for us. We prefer the terminology that we just brainstormed: Fauxbese.

Why? Because these ladies have decided that they want to be relatable and pretend like they eat fattening foods to make themselves more appealing to dudes. from The Times:

“For decades, a dependably saucy pop-culture trope has been the image of a woman wearing nothing more than a man's oxford shirt. The implied suggestion was: she's wearing your clothes. Lately, for whatever reason, the male gaze seems to have found a stirring corollary: she's eating your cooking.”

Except, more often it seems like these press interviews are the only times that starlets are permitted to eat real person food.

Do some totally beautiful female celebrities indulge in fried foods? Probably! But that still doesn’t explain why they would order such things during a profile lunch. When someone is interviewing you, what  you eat says a lot.

However, there does seem to be some smart strategy going on here. Because these ladies are so busy stuffing their faces and not saying anything that it’s all the reporter can glean from their lunch. And having someone write about your eating habits is better than having them pick apart your personal life.

That is unless your name is MIA and you order truffle fries.

Forget that Justin Bieber fan art, this video of a three-month-old baby gorilla is the cutest thing we’ve seen today. Watch as Tiny (Tiny!) leaves his mother’s embrace for the first time and takes a couple stumbly steps. Aw, Tiny, never grow up!

We’ve been lax in our duties as curators of all things Justin Bieber: we realized this morning that we’ve never put up a gallery of Bieber fan art! Shameful! We’re remedying that right now, though, with this collection of Justin Biebers, Justin Beavers, and Justin Beavises. Hooray!

'Celebrity Rehab' Finds A Way To Make Angelina From 'Jersey Shore' Empathetic

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:08 AM PST

Oh, poor Angelina Pivarnick. The former Jersey Shore star has a love for the spotlight and a tragic inability to hold onto it. The latest? She was negotiating for a spot on Dr. Drew’s Celebrity Rehab show and over played her hand. Now she’s been dropped from next season’s cast.

I can’t tell which is worse: Angelina’s attempt to fake her way through rehab for a paycheck or VH1 and Dr. Drew’s attempt to PAY ADDICTS FOR REHAB ON TV AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT THE WAY THEY BEHAVE AFTERWWARDS. Oh wait. I figured it out.

Here’s the story rom RadarOnline:

“Angelina wasted two months of the network’s time, their money and legal efforts,” a source told RadarOnline.com exclusively.

“She got the contracts,” but then didn’t follow through and after that she demanded more money.

Weird. I can’t imagine why someone you’ve identified as an alcoholic would waffle about going on national television to demonstrate their addiction. Also, when you entice dwindling celebrities with a paycheck and the promise of some rubbernecking attention, why are you then shocked when they want more money to let the world watch them humiliate themselves on your rehab show?

Oh wait. There’s more:

“She was fishing for the best deal she could get, she felt she was worth more than they were offering,” the source claimed.

“People at the office would cringe when she would call, knowing they had to hear her  yack on and on about who she thought she was.”

As if baiting former celebrities with this last ditch chance at attention weren’t bad enough, Now someone involved is leaking stories to RADAR about their bad behavior? You do realize that you’re the ones that reached out to this attention seeker to pay her to be on  your show, right?

You lose Celebrity Rehab producers. This story actually made me feel sympathy for Angelina. Who knew that was possible?

Congratulations To Foxcliffe Hickory Wind, Winner Of The 2011 Westminster Dog Show

Posted: 16 Feb 2011 08:07 AM PST


The title of Best in Show at this year’s Westminster Dog Show went to a Scottish deerhound known as Hickory. Hickory’s a five-year-old “bitch” (seriously, that how the Westminster folks deal with gender), and is the first deerhound to ever take home the title. A Vegas betting expert put Hickory’s odds of winning at only 60-to-1, making her a literal underdog!

Hickory comes from a farm in Virginia, but she’s getting a taste of the Big Apple. She has a photo op scheduled on the top of the Empire State Building and will be treated to a steak lunch at Sardi today. Also, she is a dog, in case you’ve forgotten that. Check out another photo of Hick:

Courtney Love: totally awesome at fashion. Seem like a weird thing to say? We thought so too at first, but seeing photos of Courtney dressed impeccably at the Elle Style Awards made us do a little investigating into Courtney’s biggest hits. When she’s off, she looks like an escapee from the nuthouse, but when she’s on, she looks jaw-dropingly stylish and cool.

  • Fitted and belted
  • We think Karl approves.
  • Rockstar!
  • Structure and stuff
  • Fashion show time.
  • Whoa!
  • She brought along an accessory.
