B-Side Blog Encounters Famous Rock Star, Does Something Awkward

Oh the joys of Europe. I could be half a world away from Los Angeles, and yet I still somehow manage to have celebrity stories to tell. This latest one comes from the Czech Republic, which I visited about a week ago. As avid readers of this blog know, I was “on holiday” with my …

Celine Dion Finds New Ways To Sound Like A Computer

Hello. Celine Dion here. Celine Dion really is hilarious. I respect what she’s doing in this video (charity and whatnot), but I can’t help simultaneously laughing at her voice, which sounds something like a Québécois version of one of those computerized Mac voices. Each time I hear her say “the most… heartbreaking… staTISTic,” I let …

Does Kelly Ripa Throw The Most Boring Dinner Parties Ever?

Last week, Kelly Ripa posted a celebrity playlist on iTunes which was supposed to serve as a sort of soundtrack to the perfect dinner party. She writes, “I have a blast on my show, but my favorite place to entertain is in my kitchen. There’s just nothing like the perfect dinner party. And whether I’m …

CURIOUS THOUGHT: What If Juliette Binoche and Abigail Breslin Swapped Heads?

Earlier today, I was looking at a picture of Abigail Breslin on Best Week Ever, and for some reason, her face struck me as being particularly Juliette Binoche-ish. I couldn’t help wondering if it was just me, or if their faces were truly interchangeable. I busted out the Photoshop, and ten minutes later, I had …

Now Taking Applications to Be Paris Hilton's Best Friend. Dignity Not Required.

Thanks to some extra gig I did three years ago as a lark (opening credits of Monday Night Football, thank you very much), I’ve somehow wound up on a casting director’s mailing list. I would take myself off, but the little gems that pop up in my inbox every few months are worth the spam. …

ADVENTURES IN MEXICAN STUFF: Taco Experiment Proves To Be Appropriately Top Chef-fy

It’s sort of funny that last night’s Top Chef episode featured a taco challenge because I’ve spent the past week in a veritable taco-haze, eating those little nuggets of Mexican joy with reckless abandon. In fact, I’m in such a taco fever that I did the unthinkable: I tried to make some at home. The …

Reality Star Causes Delays, Frustration at Local Yogurt Shop

Two days ago, my boring old trip to the frozen yogurt shop was made considerably more amusing and bizarre with the sudden appearance of a dairy-hoarding, jalopy-driving Faye Dunaway. The entire experience was so strange that I couldn’t help but to blog all about it. Then again, I blog about lint I find in my …

Oscar Winning Screen Legend Binges on Frozen Yogurt, Drives Unimpressive Car

I had quite the celebrity sighting yesterday. It wasn’t so excellent because of the star wattage — although, that was pretty cool —  but more for the bizarre randomness of the entire event. I’ll explain. It was about 7 PM, and my friend Jash and I decided to stop in at Angelina’s Frozen Yogurt, one …

BARRISTER WATCH: The Wet Look Is So Hot Right Now

Fiona Shackleton before and after encountering Heather Mills. Yesterday, when Heather Mills absconded with nearly $50 million of Paul McCartney’s money, she did so with utmost class and dignity. And then she dumped a glass of water on his lawyer. Yes, Fiona Shackleton, barrister to the stars, found her puffy, carefully attended coif suddenly matted …
