May 13, 2008: Sarah Jessica Parker Redefines Eco-Fashion By Wearing A Shrub On Her Head
Comments: 17 | Categories: Celebrities , Fashion , WTF?
This is a good look, I especially like the moss trim across her bust. I wonder if any insect life made itself at home in there. Because, you know, those butterflies in the shrubbery that's growing out of her hatpiece sure look comfortable.

May 12, 2008: From The WTF Files: Beyonce Pimps Up Kindergarten
Comments: 20 | Categories: Celebrities , Fashion , WTF?
When that whole Miley Cyrus 'Oh Hai I Can Has Sheets'/Vanity Fair photo controversy spilled out onto the internets, I was pretty skeeved by the whole thing. Not because omg she showed her back omg, but because the picture in question was pretty clearly intended to evoke an explicitly Lolita-ish mood: the tousled hair, the...

May 9, 2008: What the Hell, Eva Mendes?
Comments: 13 | Categories: Celebrities , Fashion , Print , WTF?
And what the hell to you, too, Italian Vogue! The European fashion sensibility, it's just different somehow . . . More photos after the jump, moderately safe for work (which means lots of thigh but no nipples).

May 9, 2008: Weirdest. Movie. Ever.
Comments: 1 | Categories: Movies , WTF?
Y'all like weird shit? This is Big Man Japan, or Dai-Nipponjin. I have been unable to think of Iron Man, that other superhero movie, which I saw last Sunday, because of Big Man Japan, which I saw last Friday. I do pause periodically to think about how Terrence Howard (whom I like, despite his thing...

May 8, 2008: And Then, The Internet Imploded: TomCruise.com
Comments: 5 | Categories: Celebrities , Internet , WTF?
I am so not even kidding about this: Tom Cruise has launched his own website. It's about as flashy as a website can get, with all sorts of creepy pictures of Tom with video of his movies running in the background and - depending upon which page you end up at - the theme to...

May 6, 2008: Lindsay Lohan, Coat Thief
Comments: 9 | Categories: Celeb Legal Woes , WTF?
This story is really bizarre... Lindsay Lohan stole the fur coat of a fellow party attendee in New York back in January. The coat's actual owner tracked her thievery via the magic of the internet, and the coat was returned, stinking. What?! I'll just let the New York Post break it down for you, after...

May 6, 2008: Because Shoes Would Just Get In The Way Of Couch-Jump Training, Right Tom?
Comments: 21 | Categories: Celebrities , Celebrity Babies , WTF?
Okay, so, first of all: we all know that Suri Cruise is an adorable little girl who is in no way responsible for the batshit craziness of her father. Second of all: it seems perfectly clear that, even if Katie Holmes was impregnated by turkey baster after a partial lobotomy, her diminished capacities of self-determination...

May 1, 2008: 3-year-old Wins Minnesota Mullet Contest
Comments: 7 | Categories: Fashion , Horror , Humor , Internet , WTF?
Three-year-old Brady Anderson is the winner of this year's Minnesota Mullet Contest sponsored by Hockey Moms Magazine. I'm not sure what's more wonderful, the fact that parents are still doing this to their children or that grown men and women are still trying to fool the world into thinking they're all "business in the front,...

April 24, 2008: Remember That Scene In Independence Day? When Aliens Nuked The White House? Well...
Comments: 3 | Categories: Celebrities , Politics , WTF?
I think that we can safely say that the decline of Western civilization is complete - to say nothing of the arrival of the Apocalypse, which I think we've already established - when a D-list 'personality' of the Heidi Montag/Spencer Pratt variety (I'm not even going to say 'celebrity' in the context of Heidi or...

April 23, 2008: Just What The World Needs: More Celebrity Concept Albums
Comments: 5 | Categories: Celebrities , Music , WTF?
I have nothing against Scarlett Johansson. I loved Ghost World. I liked Lost In Translation, too, although that really had more to do with Bill Murray than with Scarlett herself, who was, if you ask me, a little on the dull side. I have no intention of seeing The Other Boleyn Girl, but that's more...

April 21, 2008: From The OMG SO SHOCKING Files: Heidi Montag's Clothing Line Sucks
Comments: 3 | Categories: Celebrities , Fashion , Horror , Merciless Killing Machines , WTF?
I would have noted, in the title of this post, that the very fact that Heidi Montag has a clothing line is cold hard evidence that the Apocalypse has arrived, but I think that I've been crying too loud on the whole Apocalypse thing and I'm starting to worry that you all are going stop...

April 18, 2008: Still More Signs Of The Coming Apocalypse: Spencer and Heidi Pitching Reality Show
Comments: 3 | Categories: Celeb Couple Watch , Celebrities , Reality TV , TV , WTF?
Had you asked me yesterday which celebrity I thought should most NOT get their own reality TV show, I would have said Britney Spears. Because, you know, been there, hated that, and also, please, can't we just let her try to detrainwreckify herself on her own? Doesn't filming the trainwreck just make it all the...

April 17, 2008: Because When Your Kid Asks, 'What's Botox Mommy?', You Need To Have An Answer
Comments: 8 | Categories: Boobs , Bullcrap , Celebrities , Kids , WTF?
I don't whether to laugh or cry at this: a children's book is going to be released on Mother's Day to help plastically surgered moms explain to their kids why Mommy's boobies got so big and round and her nose so small all of sudden. No, really. Seriously. It'll give whole new meaning to the...

April 17, 2008: Evan Rachel Wood's Beauty Secret: "My Boyfriend Drinks My Blood!"
Comments: 6 | Categories: Celebrities , Fashion , WTF?
I understand that Evan Rachel Wood is only 20 years old and not everyone has developed a solid identity at that age, but holy mustache bleach, is Marilyn Manson slowly draining all the blood from her body when she's asleep? I've heard of emotional vampires but this is ridiculous. Photos of Evan's amazing transformation into...

April 16, 2008: From The TMI Files: Keith Richards Admits Snorting Dad's Ashes
Comments: 5 | Categories: Celebrities , Music , WTF?
I liked this story more when it was Keith DENYING that he snorted his dead dad's ashes. Now that he's admitted it, I'm just skeeved. I mean, I know that he has bad-assery down to a finely honed art, but snorting your dead father's remains? For realz? That's not bad-ass. That's just gross. His detailed...

April 16, 2008: MamaPop Field Trip: We Are SO Crashing the White House Correspondents Dinner.
Comments: 0 | Categories: News , Politics , WTF?
So, I read the other day that Perez Hilton, Pam Anderson and Lauren Conrad are going to attend the White House Press Correspondents Association Dinner on April 26th. And I got all indignant, like, "Isn't that for journalists who at least pretend to report on the daily goings on at the White House?" But I...

April 16, 2008: Amy Winehouse Shows Baby How It's Done
Comments: 8 | Categories: Celebrities , Photo Op , WTF?
I dunno. I plan to make sure that my baby's in a sling or carrier before doing shots. You know, so that he doesn't drop when my arms go slack from extreme drunkenness. That would suck.

March 27, 2008: Tyra, Leaving ANTM? Noooooooo.....!!!!
Comments: 6 | Categories: Celebrities , Fashion , Reality TV , WTF?
TYRA BANKS LEAVING AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL? (*head explodes*) Seriously. How could such a thing even be possible? There is no ANTM without Tyra. There's no fierce, no smile with your eyes, no work it, no that's not very modelesque, no that's a little too hoochy mama, no I have in my hands six pictures,...

March 24, 2008: First Signs Of Spring, Or Harbingers Of Mutant Evil?
Comments: 5 | Categories: Celeb Couple Watch , Celebrities , Photo Op , WTF?
Up here in the wild, frozen north, we Canadians look to the emergence of certain wildlife, as these take their first, tentative steps out from their winter hideaways to frolic and procreate in the melting snow, for evidence of spring. Are the snows behind us? Are the vast ice caps of downtown Toronto receding? Can...

March 21, 2008: J-Lo Drops Baby Weight In 3 Weeks; Catherine's Head Explodes
Comments: 7 | Categories: Celebrities , Celebrity Babies , WTF?
I know. I'm starting to sound like a ranty broken record on the issue of celebrities and their facking baby-weight issues (weight not lost within one month? it's an issue!), but still. Stories like this one keep feeding my frenzy: (From the National Ledger, yesterday) "Jennifer Lopez's little babies make their million dollar debut today...

March 12, 2008: Xtina: Skinny With Tits, To Go
Comments: 15 | Categories: Boobs , Celebrities , Celebrity Babies , WTF?
Okay, so. First: I think that it's great that Christina Aguilera is breastfeeding. GREAT. Awesome. And I also think that it's great that she's plugging breastfeeding, talking it up and really being all pro-titty about the whole thing. Because, you know, the cause of titties serving their natural purpose is one that everyone should totally...

March 3, 2008: Best Actress Denies 9/11, Models Tinfoil Hat
Comments: 12 | Categories: Celeb News , WTF?
Oscar-winning actress Marion Cotillard revealed herself to be a conspiracy theory-spouting wing-nut in an interview from 2007 that was rebroadcast over the weekend. The interview was largely ignored when it first came out, but now that she's winning awards people are very interested in the fact that she thinks the collapse of the World Trade...

February 27, 2008: Oscars: Sad About Renfro, Not Sad Enough for Our Montage
Comments: 7 | Categories: Awards Shows , Celebrities , RIP , WTF?
During our Oscars extravaganza on MamaPopTalk the other night, I warned everyone that montages always make me cry, particularly the "People Who Died" montage. And if you watched the Oscars, you probably noticed that Heath Ledger closed that montage, rounding out a list of other actors, producers, directors, and studio executives. Noticeably absent, however, was...

February 26, 2008: No Need for Feminism Anymore! Dudes Are Cheerleaders.
Comments: 13 | Categories: News , WTF?
The Florida Marlins baseball team are creating a cheerleading squad made up of plus-sized men who will rah-rah-sis-boom-bah under the moniker "the Manatees." The new squad will boost the Marlins alongside their existing traditional, female cheerleading squad, the Mermaids.
