Kelly Preston Has Not Gone into Labour Already

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson are Engaged

Jessica Simpson is engaged to Eric Johnson (whose name I’m going to have to attempt to commit to memory now, I guess). It was announced only days ago that Simpson’s ex-husband, Nick Lachey, was engaged. He confirmed on Twitter that he was to marry long-term on/off girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo. Because Simpson is the Kanye West of wedding news, and can’t let Lachey have his moment of almost being relevant again, she’s become engaged too. ‘We’re thrilled to confirm that it’s true,’ Simpson’ spokesperson confirms. They are engaged. Johnson, 31, proposed to Simpson, who’s 30, Thursday November 11, and she said ‘Yes’. The pair have only been dating since May. Is anyone thinking she refused to eat her marshmallow squares, as lovingly prepared by her feeder, and that’s why he proposed? He needs her good and thick for the wedding dress. He’s not marrying anyone who doesn’t fill that thing out. I kid. Simpson will wear off-white, as she kind of played the white dress card for her first wedding, and she’ll look very pretty I’m sure. If only because Johnson has to be using the money saved on Simpson’s budget-looking ring on the wedding dress. Amirite?

Taylor Momsen Blames Parents for EVERYTHING

Taylor Momsen blames her stank attitude on her parents. Those were pretty much her words, in any case. For weeks, we’ve all been asking where this girl’s parents were: she turns up on red carpets with her bra on show, performs on stage in lingerie, appears in magazines and music videos in the same, and exposes her (basically) bare breasts as part of her stage show. Turns out her stage mother is at her right hand, and specifically watches the performances where  Momsen is breast-flashing. Because that’s what supportive mothers do with their wayward children of questionable moral standing. When asked, by WENN, why she was always so miserable she blamed her parents and her whole childhood; like any loving/ loyal daughter would. In response to criticism of her attitude, Momsen explained that her exploitative stage parents used her and forced her to work when she was too young to say no. That led to her being in and out of school and not making any friends. And, therefore, not having a normal or happy childhood. Believe it or not, I’m not putting words in her mouth. Nor the mouth of WENN. Momsen says of her attitude, ‘Everyone’s like, ‘Wow, why is she upset and why is she so miserable about things?’ My parents signed me up with Ford [modeling agency] at the age of two. No two year old wants to be working, but I had no choice.’ So, ‘My whole life, I was in and out of school. I didn’t have friends. I was working constantly and I didn’t have a real life.’

Christina Aguilera Express Video from Burlesque

The video to accompany Express, from the Burlesque movie soundtrack, sang by Christina Aguilera, can be found below. We’ve already heard the audio debut as an exclusive on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show; the same day as the video for I Am A Good Girl was released. It shows more of the same: ass-shaking at the camera and lots of mouths agape, all ‘sexified’. The movie is released Thanksgiving weekend, because there’s nothing more family and wholesome than fishnets and the shaking of one’s chest (as one is instructed to do in the lyrics of the song). I liked this song, sort of, as I mentioned in the earlier post. However, this video made me like it less. I don’t know why. The visuals from this film are just jarring and making it so that I don’t want to watch. I’d rather listen to the audio, on its own, in the original post. If you want to check out the video, check it out below.

Shiloh to Angelina Jolie: Can I Have a Dead Pet?

Angelina Jolie’s daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, once asked for a dead pet. This is a quote I somehow missed from the earlier coverage of Jolie’s Vogue cover. I was caught up in the weird choice of cover photo, shot by Mario Testino, and the cute quotes about Jolie’s children. There were also not-so-cute quotes from the interview, that weren’t as widely circulated. For example, Jolie’s retelling of an exchange between her and Shiloh, 4, where the child asks to keep a dead bird the pair discover in their yard. ‘She came in and said, ‘Can I have a dead pet?” Jolie recalls. ‘And I’m … ‘Uh-uh, I don’t think it’s healthy, honey. I think they have to put him in a box,’ and I had to run out to find, like, a taxidermy bird. I just worked it out for her.’ When asked whether Shiloh understood anything about taxidermy, Jolie responded, ‘No.’ However, ‘I figured that I couldn’t keep the actual dead bird from the yard, so I swayed her toward one that had been cleaned, at least.’ I can’t even decide the extent to which this freaks me out.
