Radar’s Hype Report
Radar is such a kick-ass magazine. I don’t know why it isn’t more popular. The writers are opinionated and brutally honest, which is what I love when I read magazines. The Hype Report made me laugh out loud. They are hilarious and so true! Posh and Becks top the list.
1. Posh and Becks
It’s not that they’re untalented—they arch their backs nicely in porny W fashion shoots. They’re excellent at peddling fragrances. And when it comes to lending suspect Scientologists an air of heterosexuality, there’s nobody better. But is that any reason for a besotted media to swarm David and Victoria Beckham daily? For ESPN to devote 19 cameras to film his July soccer debut with the L.A. Galaxy (even though he played all of 16 minutes)? For the Washington Post to muse on his chances of being knighted? Let’s face it: He’s an overpaid soccer star; she’s a pointless collection of body parts. Thankfully, not everyone has fallen for their charms: Britney Spears recently snubbed Posh at the Chateau Marmont, a move the Hindustan Times called “another sign that [Spears] is in a precarious state of mind.” We call it enlightened.
20. America Ferrera’s Looks
An overweight young Latina struggling to reconcile Mami’s injunctions to chow down with a white girl’s pressure to be skinny—has America Ferrera ever played another role? Let’s recap: Real Women Have Curves (big gal copes with minority status and the pressure to be thin), Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (ditto), and Ugly Betty (well, you know). Thank goodness her fairy godmother—the entertainment press—is always there to overcompensate with a kind word: The New York Daily News dubbed her “America the beautiful,” W fawned over her “gorgeous” looks, and People en Español named her one of its 50 Most Beautiful. Okay, she’s not ugly. But she’s no Betty.
28. Facebook (This one I totally agree with)
Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg is the new prince of Silicon Valley. Traffic disclosures from his social networking site—30 million users, tripling in popularity every year—have analysts swooning over a rumored IPO (some have valued the company at up to $10 billion). But even as the site positions itself as a one-stop portal for all your Internet needs, it’s still unclear whether it will become the next Google—or the next Friendster. Facebook’s banner ads have an abysmally low click-through rate, and most of the “applications” under its platform have fizzled. The few that haven’t will surely wither if the company starts charging for them. We suggest Zuck unload his billion-dollar baby while he still can.

Apparently, one could go to jail if his jeans sagged too low. “Sagging began in prison, where oversized uniforms were issued without belts to prevent suicide and their use as weapons. The style spread through rappers and music videos, from the ghetto to the suburbs and around the world.” Funny how a trend that originated from prison can land a person in prison now.

This is what Miss South Carolina Teen, Caitlin Upton, 18, answered to the question “Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can’t locate the U.S. on a world map. Why do you think this is?”
“I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, um, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our, uh, education like such as, uh, South Africa and, uh, the Iraq and everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should, uh, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., uh, should help South Africa and should help Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future.”

She got a do-over Tuesday morning on NBC’s Today show, where she explained she froze during the nationally televised Miss Teen USA Pageant. “Everybody makes a mistake. I’m human,” explained the contestant, who went on to finish in fourth place. “Right when the question was asked of me, I was in shock.” And this is what she said on Today show: “Personally, my friends and I, we know exactly where the United States is on a map. I don’t know anyone else who doesn’t. If the statistics are correct, I believe there should be more emphasis on geography in our education so people will learn how to read maps better.”
I haven’t laughed so hard in a very long time.

Happy Friday! Let’s have a laugh at this boot’s expense and have a great weekend!!
What an ugly boot!!
Kenzie Women’s Movie Boot $189.95 sale $75.99. Sale won’t help this boot’s fate.
She calls herself Reverend TS
(looking at this picture makes me shudder.)
In today’s bizarro news, Tori Spelling has been ordained. On Monday, Spelling revealed some disturbing news that could hasten the end of organized religion as we know it.
“So, very exciting weekend for this new mom,” she wrote on her MySpace page for her TV reality series, Tori and Dean: Inn Love. “I am now officially ordained. Yep, thats (sic) right … Reverend Tori Spelling! I did it last week online and my official certificate is in the mail. I’m so proud. I can’t wait to hang it.”
Errr…my question is just exactly how easy it is to become a reverend??

I saw this adorable picture of Sarah Michelle Geller in Tart’s jersey dress at US Magazine. Love the all black look. I think her pretty loose hair makes all the difference. The caption is hilarious though.
JUST LIKE US!
Their Skirts Get Blown Up!
It sounds so retarded. It amazes me at the inane stuff that I would read sometimes. LoL.
It’s a freakin’ tire!
If you thought that too, well we were both wrong. It’s Dior’s Lady Dior Bangle. Doesn’t the woven lether look like the treads on a tire? It can be quite cute wearing accessories that are miniture version of everyday objects, like little keys, locks, tea cups, fruits, etc. But I wouldn’t want to wear a mini tire on my wrist. It’s just too ugly for $330.
Gorgeous even when they fall
John Galliano’s first full-blow cruise show in New York was a huge success according to WWD. The shoes he put his models in were absolutely divine. But they were impossible to walk in. One of the models took a tumble down the runway. It’s so like Galliano to put on a show with drama huh? I love it!!
“Early on in the presentation, a trembling blonde Milana, wearing the designer’s towering ball-bedecked heels, took a tumble at the end of the runway and almost toppled again onto Candy Pratts Price before a Dior handler came to her rescue). And later during the final lineup, May Anderson was so wobbly in her shoes she clutched two friends’ hands just to make it down and back in one piece.”

Seems like all my married friends are getting pregnant left and right. It is wonderful news to hear from them. I’m very excited about becoming an aunt to their babies. I think the wives should use this quote from Adam Sandler. They are truly wise words.
“I was in the delivery room, I saw what happened. Anything she wants gets done. She’s like, ‘Change the diaper,’ and I’m like, ‘Absolutely, sorry about your vagina.’”
HAHAHAHA!!
I just hope when I get pregnant, I’ll look tres chic like this.

What’s with Louis Vuitton? It just keeps churning out ugly bags and silly accessories. This is Monogram Pochette Belt 30 $380. Is this a coin purse attached to a belt? What’s the meaning of it? Is it so that you can have all your change at easy access? If so, then you’d better tuck your shirt in your pants, otherwise the little pouch is not so easy to get to. But seriously, nothing should be clipped to your belt. Nothing! It’s just not cool, not to mention uncomfortable. And this is supposed to be UNISEX, would you believe it?! No man with self-respect should wear this thing. Thankfully, the pouch is removable. So if one feels compelled to blow $380 on it, one can at least keep the pouch in a handbag and wear the belt like a normal person.
Sorry I had to…
I’m sorry if this offends or scares anybody. But I had to…I just had to.
“Kirsten Dunst picks herself a real winner with Johnny Borrell. He can breathe through his mouth without drooling and he can fetch.”
I didn’t say that, I’m just quoting Toronto Star. But you gotta admit it’s pretty funny. Kirsten Dunst isn’t looking exceptionally great herself here. Seems like they make a good couple together. Why do they both look like they are so hungry they could eat babies?

Filed under Celebrities, Funnies | Comment (0)5 Things you can’t say in Toronto
For my fellow Canadians, here is a funny little piece in Toronto Star today that you might get a few chuckles from, as long as you don’t take it seriously. I’m proud of Canada and Toronto. Us Canadians are nice and humble people, and can laught at ourselves sometimes.
May’s Esquire magazine features an article called Critical Blasphemy in which author Mike D’Angelo lists five things you can’t say in Hollywood.
Example: Documentaries are watchable in inverse proportion to how informative they are. The Queen is a mediocre TV movie and Helen Mirren wasn’t even all that great in it. And Spike Lee’s best movie of the past 15 years is one he did primarily about white people.
Following the same template, we replaced Hollywood with Toronto to compile our own brief list of unmentionable rebukes about the things you are permitted to think, but must never say outloud.
“The CN Tower is the tallest standing building in the world.” It’s not true. It is the tallest free-standing structure but not for long. In 2008, the Burj Dubai in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, will be the tallest freestanding structure and building at more than 800 metres. And hello, it could be argued that Yonge St. is not the longest street in the world, either.
“The Toronto Maple Leafs will never again win a Stanley Cup.” The team hasn’t won one since 1967. And it doesn’t seem to matter. They still sell out every game and millions tune in every time they hit the ice. Can you say, “city of suckers”?
“Toronto is not a world-class city.” Likewise for Toronto the clean. Toronto the good. Toronto the city of culture. New York is world-class.
“Toronto is no more diverse than any other world metropolis.” It is an urban myth that the UN declared Toronto the most diverse city in the world. Where did it say that?
“The real estate bubble is going to burst.” Telling a homeowner that the market will fall and fall hard is blasphemy.

Saw these at People’s Real Life Weddings…uhh they are possibly the ugliest bridesmaids dresses I’ve ever seen. I almost busted a gut from laughing so hard.
My bridesmaids looked beautiful on my wedding day 
They wore Chinese traditional dresses. So did my flower girl. Isn’t she just adorable?! 
Yesterday we went to visit my sister-in-law and her fiance. She showed me her bridesmaids dress (she was also one of my bridesmaids). It’s a beautiful long flowy silk dress in a rich blue color. I should’ve brought my camera. It was stunning. I told her that there’d be no risk of her bridesmaids looking ridiculous, lol.
Strange Marc
Is it me or the shape of this jacket looks really strange? The product description says “A dash of volume with quirky formal style, and we’ve got a perfect Marc creation.” Quirky…well Marc Jacobs has been a bit “quirky” lately. Look how puffed up the jacket is. The girl’s borderlining on looking like she’s wearing a sumo suit. Her head and her legs look tiny compared in the jacket. If the proportions look this off on a model, I’m sure I’d look ridiculous in it.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Silk/Cotton Canvas Coat $428
I’d be scared to touch it
Armadillo Handbag 
WTF? Are they serious? It’s a roadkill! Who would in their right mind buy this bag? There’s even a head and a tail. I hope people who buy it use it as a party gag gift. Or you could get it for your co-worker who you don’t like in a “secret senta” gift exchange.
