Celebrity Hell

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are unhappy because Tom is crazy. Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are engaged. You’ve heard this already right? Hoorah. Honestly, reading these headlines plastered all over sub-mediocre magazines in the market check out line make me feel…sad.

Seattle’s Best

The coffee giant Seattle’s Best has recharged its logo. You’ll see the old logo on the left, the new one on the right:    For me, the new logo less than impresses.

City Council voted in a boycott on traveling to Phoenix in protest. According to the Los Angeles Times blog- “L.A. Now”- Councilman Ed Reyes is quoted saying, “As an … Continue reading »

Really? Awesome.

Yesterday I read an interesting story about a reality starlet who plead guilty to one count of felony burglary. She was sentenced, among other things, to six months in the slammer- something that seems like a new Hollywood right of passage. You reallyknow you’ve made it as a young star if naked pictures of you … Continue reading »
