Everyone has been up in arms about last week’s NY Times Blog insinuating that several Hollywood actresses once known for being waifs have – gasp – “put on a little weight.” That list, according the blog, included not only Jennifer Aniston but her BFF and “Friends” co-star Courteney Cox. Cox’s husband, David Arquette, was asked about this and didn’t seem upset about the weight gain allegations – but instead, he felt that writing an entire article devoted to the body image of actresses was a “waste of space” and mean-spirited.

A New York Times fashion blogger outraged readers last week after alleging that Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Kate Hudson have “put on a little weight” at the Golden Globe awards. But while fans raised eyebrows at the bold criticism, one person who was less downright angry was Cox’s husband, David Arquette. In fact, he thought that even discussing it was a waste of time, and that the blog had nothing to do with anything. I so agree.

The actor voiced his disgust to Tarts at the opening of the “Pee Wee Herman Show” in Los Angeles Wednesday. “I don’t think that has anything to do with anything. Writing articles about people that put on weight is just wasting space for real news,” Arquette said. “And who really cares? I love round people, I love skinny people. I love people in general; we’ve got to get past labels and stop being so critical about everything. On the Internet, people find that place and think they can just speak their mind, but a lot of the time you see how mean people are. In general, we just need to be a kinder society.”

If this NY Times blogger, Andy Port, was looking to get noticed, mission accomplished. I thought David Arquette’s response was very gracious, and he does bring up a great point. This blogger was supposed to be covering the fashion at the Golden Globes. Instead, she went on a rant that dissed the body sizes of women in attendance. But then again, another NY Times blogger covering the event also took a swipe at actor Michael C. Hall for wearing a skullcap to cover his hair loss after recovering from chemotherapy. So that gives you an idea of the intellect here. I know the NY Times is a sinking ship that is desperate for readership, but is this really the way to go about it? By joining the mean, ignorant, “Perez Hilton” school of blogging?

Someone has created an absolutely fabulous joke blog mocking Dina Lohan’s shoe line “Shoe-Han.” Great name, right? Really, everything about it was just ripe for the mocking, from the terrible name to the fact that no one would want to wear anything designed by Dina Lohan, even on their feet. The only way I could be convinced to is if Dina’s face were emblazoned on the soles. Then I could step on her everywhere I went.

Dina’s supposed to have the shoes out by Mother’s Day – that gives her quite a lot of time to come up with something that doesn’t completely suck. In the meantime, the fabulous blog “Shoehans” has some joke shoes that Dina supposedly designed. And I swear if I didn’t know it was a joke blog from the get-go, I could absolutely believe that Dina really did design the shoes. They’re perfectly stupid.

There’s a pair of shoes with fellow E! reality “star” Denise Richard’s face emblazoned on them. Golden pumps, no less.

I and Denise Richards were both on reality shows on the E! Entertainment Television Network run by Ted Harbert who gave us both a chance luckily for her she got to keep her show(SHOWHAN LOL) but I did not, in any case she deserves a SHOEHAN.

[From Shoehan]

I love the “I and Denise Richards” part. There is a subtle way to nailing Dina’s stupidity. Someone who does know you don’t say “me,” but doesn’t know which order the “I” goes.

The creepiest Shoehans are the patent pleather heels with the My Little Pony attached heel. Dina markets it as “Be sexy and also you will appeal to children.”

BE SEXY AND ALSO YOU WILL APPEAL TO CHILDREN IN “MY LITTLE PONY” PATENT PLEATHER HEEL

This idea came to me in a dream JUST NOW AT 1:05AM EST I dreamed about beautiful young women prancing around Roosevelt Field Mall, maybe at the Ruby Tuesdays, in their sexual yet maternal new SHOEHANS

[From Shoehan]

The absolute best Shoehans are the boots which are either made for Jews or to celebrate Hannauka. It’s not really clear. Anyway, the faux-Dina says the boots are “reversible” – but look what she means by that.

MENORAH JEWISH SHOEHANS- What should I call this new line of SHOEHANS: JEWHANS or SHOEHANNUKA?? I will start taking your votes now! (they are REVERSIBLE as you can see in the pictures below)

I work in Hollywood California therefore I know that Hannika is right around the corner. I also have my LISPH (Long Island SHOEHANS Production Hub) that is located in Long Island and of course run by Hebrews. Even though I am of the Christian persuasion, I will never forget about my business investors, lawyers, and my childrens’ agents when crafting my artistic visions through footwear.

[From Shoehan]

Personally I vote for Jewhans. I bet real Dina Lohan really does believe she’s crafting her artistic visions through footwear. Extra points for the classic misspelling of “Hannika.”

The site doesn’t have much information on it (the “About” section is filled out with, “I don’t know what this is for, obviously this internet page is about SHOEHANS aka shoes for all, look for them at every store soon” but I can’t help but wonder if this is from the same guy who did such a brilliant job crafting Dina Lohan’s fake Twitter account. Everyone believed it was really her for a while because the tweets were just dumb enough and just self-centered enough. And that faux-Dina didn’t understand Twitter’s 140 character rule. That account, while fake, hasn’t been closed down yet and still has some priceless gems. Check it out for more on the “toxic parent” and “not Christians.” Dina really is better comedic fodder than Lindsay.

So much for Shanna Moakler’s claim of being “tired of playing out their personal relationship in the press.” In the wake of yesterday’s news that she and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker are indeed off again, Moakler, who would probably die if people stopped talking about her and taking her picture, took to her blog to “say my side of things” in the latest conflict with her ex husband. I think I need Cliff Notes to keep track of these two idiots.

I really thought the days of my personal relationship being played in the public eye were over. just so there is no confusion or “source” to attack my character, I am saying my side.

Travis and I were very much together in September when the horrific crashed happened, not only did I fly to Georgia I stayed by his side the entire stay and also for the bus ride home to LA, I think any human being with a heart and for the love of any good friend , never mind father of their children and lover would do the same, After arriving in LA and getting settled in the new hospital, I came across numerous romantic emails with MANY other woman, some famous , some I personally knew, all heart breaking. and the woman involved you know who you are and should be ashamed of yourself. I also came across emails where employees of my ex were writing comments on gossip networks like TMZ and Perez Hilton, attacking me as a woman and a mother. I Think those were more painful then the infidelities. As anyone can imagine, I was devastated, this is when I stopped going to the LA hospital, I knew and made sure even after what I learned he had a strong support system in place with friends and family, and I made it clear to them why I would be dismissing myself, at that point with the new information revealed to me I considered myself SINGLE and thou In my heart hoped we would remain friends and good parents had no intentions of getting back together. It was a painful time that no one unless they had lived it has the right to judge. Any actions I may or may have not done after this time, mean nothing.

I have been attacked by my Ex and his friends in the press for years at this point, my ability as a mother ( which to me is the cruelest thing you can do to any mother) my character and my integrity. I have never verbally bashed him as a father. I didn’t even bash him after the infamous blogs years ago, I have never went on different social networks and made campaigns of hate and slander, In fact MANY times I have had to bite my tongue and try to be the bigger person. I have tried to always put the lives and thoughts and feelings of my children first. I am by no means an angel, and I have made many mistakes, but a woman can only turn her cheek so many times.

“No Comment” just wasn’t sufficent this time when people continue to lie and distort the truth. the sad part is, the truth really isn’t that juicy or news worthy, it’s sad and I wish it had been left behind closed doors. I am a human being and the bashing has taken it’s toll.

hope your all happy.

[From MySpace]

Hmmm. You know what’s missing in this entire, idiotic diatribe? A denial that she hooked up with Gerard Butler! Which makes sense, since there’s photographic proof of the two of them looking smashed and very touchy feely.

Honestly, at this point, who even cares about these two? They are clearly toxic to one another. They should stay far away from one another and only interact when it comes to the children. And most importantly, they should leave us out of it.

Courtney Love is a special kind of crazy. A little over a year ago she claimed that over $72 million had been taken from Kurt Cobain’s estate. Someone had managed to steal his social security number and used it to get 188 credit cards, along with buying a house and cars. Apparently they haven’t caught the person(s), because Love is flipping out about it on her MySpace blog. Now keep in mind she never ever explains what she’s talking about. She assumes that, because she’s thinking about something, we’re all thinking about it. Speaking of which, remember that story MSat wrote yesterday about celebrities having a high rate of narcissism? Anyway, Courtney has gone on what must be her most nonsensical, crazy person rant ever. And that’s saying something.

there are 27 TWENTY SEVEN Cobains inthe USA< there are no other people named Kurt and there is certainly not a name "KOBANE" AS IN DAWN CICCONE KOBANE. KAY?
NOW there are NO cobains in Ohio or New Jersey,
ALL of the people show including the 103 year olds ( when theres 50 that means there are tons more we were just looking at Cobains over 100 years of age, there are none so these peopel ALL HAVE PROPERTY< they all own PROPERTY, there are 1000s and 1000s of these using my and my daughters surname ( they have to to purchase the fraudelent property they have to show a forged POWER OF ATTORNEY to some batty old lady in the the county title office are you WITH ME?)

i am f'ing SHOCKED to see the STUPIDIDTY of some of your comments. really "kurt will always be no 1" what the F*@&? are you f'ng BRAINDEAD? Kurt is DEAD. yet he owns under his ssn over 2000 properties, under a few other names even more, do you get it? they stole HIS money were forced to use HIS surname and bought REAL property

do you UNDERSTAND? DO YOU UNDERF@&$INGSTAND? to show you much else would make you start singing i dont know,....Metallica? am i speaking to BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD? HAVE YOU EVER READ A BOOK? ONE?

DO YOU REALISE WE ARE IN A DEPRESSION? DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ROCK AND ROLL IS AN INDUSTRY WHERE ALOT OF MONEY GETS STOLEN? ( EG HENDRIX FAMILY 280,000,000$)? DO YOU? ARE YOU YET UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FAMILY, THE MOTHER, SISTERS, HALF BROTHER AND DAUGHTER OF KURT COBAIN HAVE HAD EVERY PENNY STOLEN AND PUT INTO CRAPPY ASSED PLANNED UNIT SUBDIVISIONS, LOOK AT "CARMEN"

DO YOU THINK THAT THERE IS A CARMEN? IN THE WORLD? COBAIN? THERE IS NOT. AS STATED THERE ARE NO COBAINS OF ANY VARIANT IN OHIO OR NEW JERSEY, ARE YOU F*@&ING BRAINDEAD? MORTGAGE FRAUD IS A 4 TRILLION DOLLAR A YEAR INDUSTRY, DO YOU THINK THAT 103 YEAR OLD COBAINS WHO HAVE LIVED AT ONE ADDRESS FOR 103 YEARS EXIST?

do you? do YOU? 4 TRILLION A YEAR INMORTGAGE FRAUD. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[From Courtney Love’s MySpace blog via Gossip Rocks]

I always wonder if Courtney’s just a terrible writer, on new drugs, or if she’s truly, deeply stupid. I think the last option would be the worst. I’d really rather prefer she be on drugs than actually this stupid. I had to clean up the spacing a little so it didn’t mess up our layout, but this is her entire rant. Nothing is cut out – Love just assumes that we know what the hell she’s talking about.

My first question for Courtney is, “HAVE YOU EVER READ A BOOK?” Have you? Ripping out the paper from one to roll it to snort your cocaine doesn’t count. Shouldn’t she have an assistant or something? Someone to keep her from typing? And erase her old cracked out blogs? Obviously she’s under a lot of stress, and I cannot even imagine what it would feel like to lose $73 million. Especially knowing that money was supposed to go to her daughter. I’d imagine it would feel like a personal failure. But there are about three thousand better ways to deal with it than this.

It’s like Courtney is absolutely insisting on ruining any teeny, tiny ounce of credibility she might have. Not credibility in Hollywood or in the music industry. But just as a rational human being. I feel so sorry for Francis Bean. Her memoirs are going to be insane.

Meghan McCain, daughter of presidential candidate John McCain, is making quite a name for herself as an outspoken, middle-of-the-road young Republican. In her blog at The Daily Beast, she’s taken on members of her own party for being too sectarian, and even ripped pundit Ann Coulter a new one. This made her the target of another conservative female pundit, the loathsome Laura Ingraham, who slammed Meghan for gaining weight on the campaign trail. Well, Meghan decided to fight back via her blog, and defended other women in the media who are constantly under attack for their figures- including Hillary Clinton.

Recently my not-size-0 body has come under fire again by the conservative pundit Laura Ingraham. On her radio show recently, she sarcastically commented that I was “too plus-sized to be a cast member on the television show The Real World” and needled me about my weight with a comment about Barbie’s 50th anniversary. Instead of intellectually debating our ideological differences about the future of the Republican Party, Ingraham resorted to making fun of my age and weight, in the fashion of the mean girls in high school.

I have been teased about my weight and body figure since I was in middle school, and I decided a very long time ago to embrace what God gave me and live my life positively, attempting to set an example for other girls who may suffer from body image issues. I have nothing to hide: I am a size 8 and fluctuated up to a size 10 during the campaign. It’s ridiculous even to have this conversation because I am not overweight in the least and have a natural body weight.

In today’s society this is, unfortunately, predictable. Everyone from Jessica Simpson to Tyra Banks, Oprah Winfrey, and Hillary Clinton has fallen victim to this type of image-oriented bullying. Recent pictures of Pierce Brosnan’s wife, Keely Shaye Smith, on the beach in her bikini raised criticism about her weight and choice of bathing suit—as if the woman should be wearing a giant muumuu to swim in the ocean. After Kelly Clarkson’s recent appearance on American Idol, the first commentary I read on the Internet was about her weight gain instead of her singing.

My weight was consistently criticized throughout the campaign. Once someone even suggested I go to a plastic surgeon for liposuction. Afterward, I blogged about loving my body and suggested critics focus their insecurities about women’s bodies elsewhere. On the other side, my mother was constantly slammed for being too skinny, so the weight obsession of the media and our culture goes both ways. It also goes to both parties. Hillary Clinton has consistently received criticism for her pantsuits and figure. Whatever someone’s party, these criticisms are quite obviously both wrong and distracting from the larger issues at play.

The question remains: Why, after all this time and all the progress feminists have made, is weight still such an issue? And in Laura’s case, why in the world would a woman raise it? Today, taking shots at a woman’s weight has become one of the last frontiers in socially accepted prejudice.

[From The Daily Beast]

Bravo, Meghan. This is probably the most eloquent celebrity response to this topic I’ve ever read. Notice how she doesn’t even try to make us believe she’s a size two, like a couple other celebs I could name. Instead, she just asks, why is this an issue? And she’s absolutely right. As I said yesterday, I don’t care if Jessica Simpson can’t fit into her short shorts. If I’m going to go to her concert, I only care that she can sing well. And I really don’t need to see a week-long special report on CNN about Oprah’s weight gain. I am not a fan of Meghan’s dad, but I’m with her on this topic. Enough, already!

Michael Lohan is giving up on blogging, thank God. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that no Lohan should ever be allowed within 30 feet of a keyboard. Ever. There is absolutely no excuse for it, and nothing good ever – ever! – comes from it. Lohans were not created to write. They were made to stand there and look pretty. Depending on your definition of pretty.

Michael claims he’s giving up his blog because his children requested it, though he doesn’t say which kids or go into any specifics. But it sure says a lot about him that he needs to have one final rant before he can actually respect their very reasonable request. Michael also claims that he’s never earned a penny off of his kids’ fame – which we’ll just chalk up to his convenient memory.

Well here you have it. My final blog. And for those of you who are doubters or knockers, let me say that I never took a penny for my blog or anything I ever did for any of my children. I did what I did, out of love and concern, regardless of any of your opinions. I did it to help them, advance their careers and give them hope. I taught them that anything is possible if you really want it enough, and that when your heart is in the right place, God will make it all happen!

And although I have full confidence in Jonathan Jaxson (Who is the mastermind behind some of the best stories/blogs out there.), I have to say that when it comes to my innocent children, who are at risk and have nothing to do with the situation at hand, I have to respect their request.

Before I go, however, I must say that I received a text message from a very close and dear friend of Lindsay’s who I trust and admire. The text said, “between you and me you are doing the right thing. From what I hear, from Lindsay’s nearest and dearest friends, Lindsay is worse off than ever since she she has been with Sam. I told Dina that Lindsay needs you back in her life, and I think you know that I was the one who really helped Linds get into rehab.”

Without divulging this person’s identity, let me say that I know this person and I trust him/her very much. As a matter of fact, I spent time with him/her and wish that he/she was still part of Lindsay’s life.

For the record, when it comes to sexual preference, I am not biased. What matters most is the substance of an individual rather than their preference.It is the love and intent behind the relationship that matters. Something I can not give much credence to when it comes to Samantha. Just look at Samantha’s tax returns before she “engaged” Lindsay, and then after! Look at Lindsay’s career before Samantha and after! Look at all the things Lindsay accomplished and had going for her before Samantha and after. And finally, consider how Lindsay spent every holiday with her family before she met Samantha and then after. Would Lindsay ever leave her little sister in LA with Jenni, and leave with Samantha like she recently did when she went to Boston?! NEVER!

I was with Lindsay when she got out of Cirque Lodge. I saw and experienced the “old Lindsay” with so much hope and promise. I had full confidence in her. Then back came Samantha! Can’t you all see this? Am I speaking to stone walls? All I ask that you put your selves in my shoes and HONESTLY consider what you would do. As I said, this is my final blog, and I hope what I have said and expressed to you and Lindsay, have a positive effect on your lives. God Bless you ALL, be well and thank you for your input. Good, bad, positive, or negative, I have learned a lot from all of you. Be Blessed!!!!

[From The Real Story With Mike Lohan]

I really do still feel that Michael has an unhealthy obsession with Lindsay, and not in a fatherly way. I’m not trying to imply anything super skeevy, but there are a lot of parents that are estranged from their adult children. They don’t set up blogs and stalk their every move. All of Michael’s faux-good heartedness is so transparent, and I find it almost offensive to hear someone so manipulative and unbalanced talking about God in his holier-than-thou way.

You might remember Jonathan Jaxson as the “publicist” for Cheetah Girl Adrienne Bailon. Jaxson leaked some nude photos of her. He’s super shady. After we ran a story about him, he actually emailed Celebitchy and said, “Maybe you should learn how to spell one’s name before making such a post. Do your reasearch dumbass.” Ironically, he misspelled “research.” Sad. But it makes sense that Michael Lohan would be taking advice from someone so shady. From his phrasing, it sounds like Jaxson was encouraging him to continue the blog. For once it appears good ‘ol Mike Lohan has made a relatively smart decision – in respecting his children’s wishes and shutting down his blog. Now he can go back to selling stories to Us Weekly.

Here’s Michael Lohan and his fiancé in LA in September. Images thanks to WENN.

Though Lindsay Lohan claims she and girlfriend Samantha Ronson are doing fine as always, she’s still flirting it up with men, including Sean Penn. According to Fox News, Lindsay recently got super close to Penn at a party, going so far as to “nuzzle” him. Never before has “nuzzle” sounded like such a dirty word to me. And she seems to have done it with all the class and subtly you’d expect of a Lohan.

Lindsay Lohan likes Milk. Anyway, she likes the star of Gus Van Sant’s longish take on the life and times of gay activist Harvey Milk.

At Sean Penn’s private dinner for Milk last week at downtown/far west eatery The John Dory — in which the former Jeff Spicoli has invested — Lohan showed up sans partner Samantha Ronson. Sources say she immediately sidled up to Penn, who took her under his wing, so to speak. “They nuzzled,” says my observer, before taking off for an after party somewhere in the bowels of Chelsea, no doubt.

[From Fox News]

Maybe Lohan has casual nuzzles. She has casual other things, so maybe she’s a nuzzle slut. Lindsay’s had to deny that she has any problems in her relationship because she and Samantha haven’t been out together much lately. Lohan has said that the pair are together and fine, and if they ever did break up she’d announce it on MySpace. Classy.

“today i was out with my friend Jamie and paparazzi wouldn’t stop asking me where samantha was,” Lindsay wrote in her usual style of writing that ignores most punctuation and rules of grammar. “and i’m not writing this blog because i feel like i need to prove that i’m with my girl to anyone at all. but because it’s just annoying. and i want to vent.”

“and i love myspace because it allows me to vent without having to deal with the noise of the ‘tabloids’ and ‘stalkerazzi’s’” she continued.
In fact, the actress loves the social networking Web site so much, that she said it would be the first place she would announce a split from her celebrity DJ girlfriend, if it were to ever happen.

“all in all-they should just stop asking altogether, once and for all if she and i are broken up because frankly, if we ever ever did…. i would say it before they could even think of asking. i’d say it here probably… i say everything here on myspace.”
Lindsay goes on to say that she hopes the publications and gossip blogs perpetuating the rumors are reading her blog in order to get the story straight.
“okay. well, i hope that all the gossip magazines and sites, and lurkers read this cuz it’s not true,” the actress wrote. “ahh! i love myspace because i can just write, and i love writing, and i can prove all the liars wrong.”
“wow- the people that make s*** up must really feel silly, embarrassed, out of stories, s******, f*****, punk’d, and so much more. because, i can use myspace and just let everyone know what’s really going on,” Lindsay added. “which is so much more fun! cuz now, people can get to know the REAL me. yay!”

[From Access Hollywood]

Why even bother having PR people when you have your eloquent words and MySpace to do all your talking? Lindsay is just trash, and anytime people start thinking otherwise, she manages to write a blog that clarifies just how classless she is. It’s also pretty obvious from her writing that she really gets off on the drama. Not that it’s news to anyone. I’m surprised that someone with a legit career like Sean Penn is willing to have her around for even a moment. Being associated with someone so tacky can’t be good for other people’s reputations.
