Actress Anne Hathaway has something she’d like to get off her chest. OK, that one was beneath me, but I’m writing under a lot of pressure here.

And what the Hell is this reporter here doing using a microcassette recorder? This is 2008, dude! Get digital already.

Meet Tamira Paszek:

She’s won no tournament of any importance. But she has a lot going for her.

And here’s one from the Australian Open:

I’m telling you, this girl has talent.

I might have to consult an architect or two to figure out how the lovely Miss Johansson can wear this and not have a major accident. I’m betting duct tape is involved.

UPDATE: Courtney Love apparently wants Scarlett to play her in a movie about her and Kurt Cobain.So I guess there is a news peg for this photo after all.

I think that’s Penelope Cruz on the right and her sister Monica on the left. I think.

Via The Mail:

CUTLINE: Her nickname is Snakegirl – and just one look at her extraordinary stage act reveals why.

The 18-year-old contortionist, who dresses in a snakeskin costume, is amazing audiences with her incredible poses and eye-watering gyrations.

Nokulunga Buthelezi is so naturally flexible that her mother found her asleep one day when she was three – with her legs tucked behind her neck.

Did anyone read where Dr. Phil was trying to help Britney Spears, who, as is obvious, has some sort of mental problem and isn’t just strung out on drugs and booze. It turns out that he violated all sorts of ethical standards by showing up in Britney’s hospital room without her permission. It turns out that Brit’s money-grubbing family invited him over in an attempt to stage an “intervention” that would be televised on Dr. Phil’s television show.

I know that Dr. Phil’s show is owned and produced by Oprah, and that 95 percent of the population think this woman’s defecation has no aroma.* But I remember the original Oprah, who was one of the first people who imitated the format created by Phil Donahue and turn it into exploitative trash. Once she knocked the far superior Donahue off the air, she disavowed trash. But trash is still lucrative, so she repackaged it as therapy and brought out fake therapist Dr. Phil McGraw, with his good-old-boy straighten-your-act-up routine.

And that’s exactly what Dr. Phil’s show is. He throws a bunch of dysfunctional people in front of the camera for the entertainment of the audience, then pretends that he gives a rat’s ass about them and that he’s treating them.

The truth is he is NOT trained as a therapist in any way shape or form. In reality, his show is no different than Jerry Springer’s, except there’s no chair throwing.

I’m picturing Britney rather than fat-head Dr. Phil because even though she’s nuts, she’s easier on the eyes.

* We all are aware, are we not, that when Oprah hands out freebies to her audience, she isn’t buying these things for them. The stuff is being supplied by her advertisers. She’s making millions off of it. You didn’t think she actually bought cars for all those people … right?

Remember those cool Aerosmith videos that featured Alicia Silverstone? There was one where Alicia and Liv Tyler were pretend teen lesbians on a road trip, which I thought was awfully open-minded on the part of frontman Steve Tyler, considering Liv is his daughter and all.

Well, I have no idea how old Alicia is these days, and I’m too lazy to look it up. But I’m pretty certain she ain’t a kid anymore, and is probably well into her 30s.

If this is a recent photo, she’s either been in suspended animation, of someone slathered on the Photoshop.
