Ever think to your self “Self, let’s play out a few Mad Men senarios” but were afraid to approach your friends over it? (Everyone wants to be Joan.)
Men Barbie and Ken Dolls! Only in this case it’s (from left to right) Joan, Roger, Don and Betty.
Play out various office politics, dramas and shenanigans including morning romps in the executive lounge, afternoon cocktails in Roger’s office, and of course, non-stop cigarette smoking courtesy of Lucky Strike.
The dolls are definatley not set at mid 1960’s prices ($75 each) and are aimed at collecters available this summer.
What on earth happened to Joan’s curves? Mattel is going to get an earful over Barbie Joan’s lack of a va-va-voom figure, if a backlash hasn’t started already.

Elinor Burkett, the pushy broad that looks like Madam Medusa from Disney’s The Rescuers, has been making the rounds in the media to defend her actions at the Academy Awards Sunday night.
Joy Behar, who seems determined to be a sh*t disturber (that’s my girl!), had Burkett on her show to explain herself. Burkett says she had as much right to be on stage as Williams (she did get an Oscarfor the movie as well) and said her thought at the time was ”if I don’t make it to that stage within 3 seconds he’s not going to thank the band, he’s only going to talk about himself.”
Burkett also told EW that both the Producers Guild and HBO certified her as a producer on the project, even though she removed herself from it due to a seething hatred creative differences with Roger Ross Williams. Needless to say, he does not agree.
I’m just happy the whole thing happened. Those WTF?! moments are few and far between in these award shows lately. No wonder so many of the attendees rely on booze and other substances to keep things lively.

Haters to the left…
Here we go again. It started Oscar night with Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart presenting a montage of horror films. Of course a shot of the pair as Bella and Jake was included in it as well. New Moon may have been many things, but a horror film it was not (unless you count the acting of the leads).
The first blockbuster of the summer? The studio behind the franchise is counting on it. Expect SummitEntertainment to pull no punches with their promotion of of Eclipse, which get’s released at the end of June.
As for the trailer itself, at just 10 seconds, there’s not much to go on, although Taylor Lautner’s abs look a lot less pronounced in that shot then they normally do. Thoughts?

Looks like the celebrity feud between Project Runway’s Tim Gunn and Kim Kardashian that didn’t happen might kick into gear yet.
To recap, last month the Kardahian’s debuted their new line with Bebe during New York Fashion Week. Tim chimed in on his thoughts when asked if he supported them saying that he felt “the Kardashian’s have an absense of taste“.
Hee!
Last week on the Joy Behar Show, instigator Joy got Tim going on about the subject again. Tim called out the Kardashian look (skin tight, cleavage barring, rear enhancing outfits) as “cheap” and “tawdry“.
While Tim admitted that their look may “have some sexiness to it“, he says he finds it “rather vulgar“.
As for Kim herself, Tim Gunn told Joy, “She’s pretty, but she’s a poser. I find that when she’s static and still, she has an attractiveness. I find that when she’s moving, it all goes away for me“.
Surprisingly, the Kardashian sisters have remained quiet about Tim’s opinions about them. So far.
Kim probably doesn’t really care anyway as she has a mini-empire to run, a reality TV show to famewhore for and Tweets to post. La-la-la-la-la…
Come to think of it, is there anything left walking/breathing that Butler hasn’t supposedly hooked up with at this point?
Hollywood Life is reporting that the Madonna and Gerard Butler were seen bumping and grinding away at some after Oscar party on the dance floor, so of course they’re totally doing it. Then again, Bonnie Fuller and company also think dressing up a three year old girl in anything but gender specific clothing, accessories and hair styles will lead to “issues”, so two people of the opposite gender seen in each other’s company automatically = sex.
Whatever.
Madonna and Gerry maybe back in his 300 or Dracula 2000 days, but now? Highly unlikely. The Big M likes ‘em young (Jesus) or smokin’ hot (Adam Senn). Gerry doesn’t exactly fit the bill for either.
As for Gerry’s seemly trimmer waistline on Oscar night, word is that’s in large part due to Manx (Spanx for men).
Why did ABC pick Kathy Ireland, an ex-model, Dancing With The Has-Beenscast-off, and entrepeneur, to interview celebs walking the Red Carpet just prior to the Academy Awards?
People have been asking if she was on something. Kathy kept moving her arm for EMPHASIS! and even more annoying OV-ER A-NOUN-CI-AT-ING EV-ERY WORD. I worked with somebody like that and you can’t take your eyes off their mouths when they speak. Horrifyingly hypnotic.
It was cringe inducing, embarrassing and hysterically funny all at once. Seriously, check out Morgan Freeman’s friend in the red dress, she looks like she’s about to crack up watching her.
When Kathy interviews Zac Efron, her OV-ER EN-THUSI-ASTIC approach is even worse (or better, if this gives you the giggles).

I haven’t been this un-surprised since Clay Aiken came out in People.
Confirming pretty much to anyone who’s ever seen Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss or Will & Grace who isn’t headless, Sean Hayes coyly addresses the issue of his orientation in the latest edition of The Advocate.
Hayes was probably one of the first of a growing number of actors who don’t try to play straight for the public, choosing instead to go solo to the events such as the both the Emmy’s and Golden Globe Awards.
While it’s absolutely no one’s business but his own to be sure, why would you agree to be interviewed by a gay magazine when your clearly uncomfortable addressing the subject in the first place?
However, Hayes has a new role on Broadway to promote, so he probably decided to suck it up and agreed to speak to The Advocate. The interview itself is sort of unremarkable but will probably serve as a good example to journalism students of getting a slightly hostile subject to open up. Sort of.

So now it’s come to this.
With little else to turn to as acting, paid escorting, fame-whoring for money, and designingcreative consulting all seem to have fallen by the wayside due to her behavior, Lindsay Lohan is turning to that tried and true way to make a buck, the frivolous lawsuit.
According to the New York Post (via Gawker) Lindsay feels that the above Superbowl ad in which a baby named Lindsay that’s a “milkaholic” is mentioned is really all about her and is seeking damages to the tune of $100 million dollars.
In the suit filed yesterday, Lindsay’s lawyer is seeking an injunction to ban the ad from being shown and wants all copies of the ad as well. “They used the name Lindsay. They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.”
Riiiiiiiiiight.
Actually Jackass, no one probably made the non-existent connection until you and your cracked out, narcissist of a client drew attention to it. Nice try though.
I remember the days (long since long gone) when a sex tape really was a scandal and not a desperate ploy of a famewhore trying to launch a career. Kim Kardashian, take a bow for ruining it for everybody else.
Now comes word that Rozlyn Papa, The Bachelor contestant made famous by vying for Fly-boy Jake’s affections, only to get the heave-ho for having an inappropriate relationship with a producer, has an alledged sex-tape that’s now become available on line.
Yawn.
Apparently, Pornhub.com has a tape in which you see a woman going south on a fairly well endowed guy. Well, if nothing else, at least Papa’s has her standards (allegedly).
Papa’s maintains she has “no knowledge ” of any sex tape. How very Carrie Prejean of her.
How long do you think it’ll take before one surfaces featuring the woman Fly-boy Jake ended up picking, Vienna Girardi (Hailey Glassman Version 2.0)? Cue the countdown!

Reality TV makes strange bedfellows…
Mark Burnett and Martha Stewart are collaborating on a new reality show they’re shopping around to the networks called Help Me Martha.
Apparently, the concept revolves around someone who’s over-whelmed by the prospect of throwing a party or facing some sort of lifestyle issue hearing the doorbell ring, going to answer it and have Martha and her minions standing there, ready to take over at the suggestion of a friend.
Can’t you just see the notoriously no nonsense and somewhat prickly Stewart trying to deal with a Hoarder, helping a Real Housewife organize a dinner party, some over indulgent parent trying to throw their spoiled teen a Super Sweet 16th birthday party, or clashing with a Bridezilla?
Awesome.
Sadly, I don’t think it will come to that, which is probably why the show hasn’t been picked up, yet.
