Even Drunk, Mel Gibson Looks Like A Moviestar

Mel Gibson's booking photo was released by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department today. The son of a bitch is, he really doesn't look bad in it at all. Dude, it's still frickin' Bret Maverick!

Remember my post on that loser, Lief Garrett? That was a terrbile mug. That story also linked the James Brown and Nick Nolte mugs. Classics.

Joanna Krupa Is Too Good Looking

Model and Playmate Joanna Krupa plays in the World Series of Poker at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, on Sunday. Have you seen this girl before? She's ridiculously hot. Not her face, really, but her body. She's too hot. I'm almost not even attracted to her because she's too good looking. I need flaws.

Skinny Model Dead

This is sad news. One of our skinny models has died. Model Heather Bratton died at the scene of a three-car collision at about 5 a.m. July 22, New Jersey State Police have confirmed. She was only 19. Check out her official site, and leave a message of support for her family. Here is her Style.com page, too.

Justin Timberlake And The MTV VMA's

Entertainers T.I., left, Beyonce, center, and Justin Timberlake talk to reporters at a news conference held to announce the nominees for the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards today in New York. The 2006 VMA's will be held August 31 in Radio City Music Hall.

JT has a great sense of style, that son of a bitch. I'm sure it's a stylist, but whatever. He always looks simple, yet fashionable.

Affleck And Garner Watch The Sox

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner at Fenway Park in Boston during the Boston Red Sox's baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. Check out Ben blowing that bubble. What a weirdo.

( more pics to come)

What's Up With Ludacris's Hair?

Luda is one of my favorite rappers these days, but I think he should stick to the braided look. This perfect line Steve Harvey look isn't working out at all, dogg. It looks like someone masked his head with tape, and spray painted his head black.

This was on the set of his new music video, "Money Maker," which he's filming down here in Miami.

Naomi Watts Picture Post




I don't really have anything to say about her, other than I think she's a doll. I saw Ellie Parker the other day, too. Good.

Miami Vice Does NOT Suck

Sigh. Relief.

I finally saw Miami Vice on friday, and I can surely say that it does not suck. It's not Heat, but it's better than Collateral, and it definately does not suck. After reading a whole bunch of reviews about how this movie version is SOOOOOO much different from the TV series, I'm convinced none of those critics has ever seen a full episode of Miami Vice. All they remember is the hokey jokes, Tina Turner songs, Ray-ban shades, pastel suits, and sockless white shoes. This movie is EXACTLY like the series. I own, and recently watched all of the 1st and 2nd season of Vice, and I can even pinpoint specific shots that are identical in both versions. Matter of fact, in practically every scene of the Vice movie you can reference what episode the scene is more or less based on. Same exact themes, plots, and even set design!

The thing is, people don't remember the dark parts of the Miami Vice TV show, they only recall what was being made fun of in The Wedding Singer. Miami Vice was dark, violent, and seedy. I give Mann props for refusing to re-do the theme, and toning down the characters and visuals in the movie. Whereas the TV show glamorized and softened some of the serious issues that were going on, the movie is almost like the "Reality Show" version of what the TV show was eventually based on. The movie is Real. The TV show is the Hollywood version.

Those who pan this movie for not being like the TV show are just wrong. Think about it, if you're a undercover cop, and you just blew a hole through a drug lord's stomache with a shotgun, do you really feel like hearing "What's Love Got To Do With It?" by Tina Turner like the TV show? No. You want to say, "I hate this job" like the movie.

John Tucker Must Die On TRL

The cast of the movie John Tucker Must Die promoted their movie on TRL in New York, today. Most of the pics are of Jesse Metcalfe and Ashanti. But I think that's boring. I'm more inclined towards the 2 hot blondes from the film, Arielle Kebbel and Brittany Snow.

Not so many pics of them here, for more check out the premiere. As an alternative gossip blog, I have to post about those poor girls who seem left out. Yes, I know, it's tough.

That, and Brittany Snow is from Tampa, Florida. I seem to have a soft spot for Tampa blondes. ;-)

Lance Bass: Yep, I'm Gay!

Taking cue from that Time magazine cover article on Ellen Degeneres, Lance Bass of the group 'N Sync will reveal he's gay in the upcoming Friday, July 28, 2006 issue of People magazine. He claims he didn't earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn't want to affect the group's popularity.

Yeah, that was the reason. That, and JC Chasez, Chris Kirkpatrick, Justin Timberlake, and Joey Fatone were all not ready to tell people they were gay either.

Hey, didn't Lance Bass bid to go up into outer space with the Russians? Think about that! He could have been the first gay dude in space! A shame.

"Breakfast At Tiffany's" Dress

Romilly Collins from Christie's, models an original Givenchy dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' on July 26, 2006 in London, England. The black dress from the 1961 film will be auctioned as part of Christie's Film and Entertainment sale on December 5, 2006 and is estimated at GBP50,000 - GBP70,000.

"John Tucker Must Die" Premiere

I like "serious" films just as much as the next person, but I have to admit I love these cheesy catfight movies that have come out recently. Movies about cute chicks that stop at nothing to get revenge on other cute chicks should have their own genre category at Blockbuster. They're genius.

John Tucker Must Die seems to be in that category, and it looks pretty funny. The twist is that the girls in this movie finally get a clue and realize they themselves aren't the enemy, but us, idiot guys, or John Tucker. Even then, I bet John Tucker ends up winning at the end. Just a guess.

Here is the cast at the premiere of the film at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles yesterday. Arielle Kebbel is the taller blonde. Brittany Snow is the blonde talking to Ashanti, the singer. Jesse Metclafe is the stooge in the nice blue suit next to Arielle. And the lady with the white hair is the director, Betty Thomas. She also
directed Private Parts, with Howard Stern.

Miscellaneous Chicks From The O.C.

Kelly Rowan, Autumn Reeser, Melinda Clarke, and Willa Holland, of "The O.C." pose for photographers during FOX's Summer Send Off Party, Tuesday in Pasadena, California. Also, a cute pic of Rachel Bilson.

I've always found the two mothers on the O.C. way too young and good looking to be mothers to these girls. I wonder how the show is coming along now that my future wife, Mischa Barton left the show? I wouldn't know, I quit my TV service, since I am now 100% addicted to Youtube.com

Pitt Jolie Shiloh Wax Figures

A sculpture of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie Pitt, daughter of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is displayed at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York today. This has been the first time the famous museum has made a sculpture of a baby.

I'm so over this. I hope Shiloh grows up to be an ugly, fat, well-mannered investment banker who wants nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

Hillary Clinton's Presidential Statue

Daniel Edwards, the guy who brought us that whacky statue of Britney Spears giving birth, is back at it, this time with Hillary Clinton. His new sculpture is titled, "The Presidential Bust of Hillary Rodham Clinton: The First Woman President of the United States of America" and it will be unvieled at the Museum of Sex on August 9th.

I'm starting to like this nutty crazy artist guy. He's really making some thought provoking art within the scope of pop-culture. I love how he assumes Hillary is already president. Could it be a statement towards the way media and pop-culture label things before they actually are?

The artist is said to have been inspired by Sharon Stone's comment that Hillary couldn't be president just yet, because she "still has sexual power and I don’t think people will accept that. It’s too threatening.”

Uh, not by the look of this thing she does.

MTV Turns 25

On Aug. 1 MTV marks 25 years on the air. That means if you're younger than 25, you've been brainwashed to like all this crap all your life. Myself, only since age 3. Ha!

Okay, let's not be all gloom and doom. They have had their moments and their good influences. Here are some of them.

I Like Rebecca Mader

Appearing for the new Fox show "Justice" is actress Rebecca Mader at the Summer Television Critics Association Press Tour in Pasadena California today.

She was also in The Devil Wears Prada. She's got this evil blue eyed look, pasty vampire-like complexion. I like.

Final Miss Universe Post

So, here are the rest of the pics I couldn't post yesterday beacuse of the crappiness of Blogger. I still can't believe Puerto Rico won. And I won't post anymore on it, since none of my girls won.

MTV TRL: Miami Vice Edition

You know, if any of those rumors were true that these two cats didn't get along during the filming of Miami Vice, it sure doesn't look that way in the press. Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell were at the TRL studio in Times Square just a couple of hours ago. And they were all smiles!

I just want the movie NOT to suck. Just please, God, give me just this one thing. I don't care if it's not as good as Heat or Collateral, just make it watchable and I'll be happy.


(Yes, I'm asking God to make this film NOT suck when I go see it on friday)

Kirsten Dunst Appeases To Dorks

Actress Kirsten Dunst smiles to the crowd during a preview for "Spiderman 3" at Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday.

You can tell she totally doesn't want to be there, and she thinks all those in attendance are real winners.

Miss Puerto Rico? Really?

I was really surprised that Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza, Miss Puerto Rico won the Miss Universe last night. I've been posting a bunch of pictures of all the girls these past weeks and I never once saw her as a standout. Her boobs look fake, and her face looks like Michael Jackson from the "Thriller" days.

Oh well, so much for my choices. Norway, Russia, Israel, Spain, and Sweden didn't even make the final 10! Matter of Fact, only USA and Canada made it out of my picks.

But, knowing Trump was involved, you know it was probably fixed.

Lindsay Lohan's Hair Is Everywhere

Long time since we had a Useless Things Lindsay post. And "long time" actually means "3 days."

Here she is in all her glory on the set of Georgia Rule. Look at the hair, boy! I don't care what anyone says about this girl, she's got it. She's a star. And it's not going away any time soon.

Cool Goldfrapp Pictures

Alison Goldfrapp, singer of British band Goldfrapp, performs on the main stage during the Paleo Festival, in Nyon, Switzerland, yesterday.

Funny Skinny Model Picture

I hope to post more of my sarcastic skinny model posts soon. I have to wait for more fashion shows to take place. I know you love seeing them, all you thinspiration seekers out there. And if you get offended when I call a thin chick "fat" then this is not the blog for you.

Germany Is Over The World Cup, Extends Oktoberfest!

This year's Oktoberfest is longer than usual. The beer festival, which usually covers three weekends, begins Sept. 16 and has been extended to include German Unity Day on Tuesday, Oct. 3, organizers said today.

Bullshit. They're just still upset they lost in the World Cup, and they need a lot more drinking time, baby! You gotta love it! Remember all those cute german chicks crying? Sad indeed.

Note To Kate Hudson: We Don't Care

Kate Hudson has accepted libel damages from a supermarket tabloid that claimed she was dangerously thin, her lawyer said today. The British edition of the National Enquirer has agreed to pay undisclosed damages and print an apology for an October 2005 article that claimed Hudson was "way too thin" and looked "like skin and bones," said Simon Smith, a London lawyer for the 27-year-old actress.

Suing a tabloid? Uh, that's what they do, Kate, they talk crap about celebrities who show themselves to the public, like you. You see, this is the kind of celeb I can do without. She is totally NOT over herself. That, and
she's a faker and boring. Hey, Kate, I think you're FAT, and so do a lot of my readers. Are you gonna sue me?

Nelly Furtado Is Alright

Nelly Furtado pics! "Promiscuous," the single off her new album, "Loose," has had a lock on the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for three weeks. The album features the production and songwriting touches of superproducer Timbaland, and debuted at No. 1 when it was released earlier this summer.

Blah, blah, blah. I'm really starting to like her, though I'm not that into that song. She looks like a team player, someone who is in fact, "over themselves" as I like to put it.


And she's totally doable.

Fred Willard Is An American Original

Comedian Fred Willard photographed at his home in Los Angeles. Willard is voicing a character in the animated movie Monster House.

I just wanted to give him props. I love him in Best in Show, and all the Christopher Guest movies he's in. Watch out for the new one called For Your Consideration.




Side note: I just realized the AP photographer who shot these pics of Fred is Nick Ut, famous for taking this picture of a napalm raid in Vietnam.

Aishwarya Rai Is Fat

Rai's directors, not satisfied with having Bollywood's leading lady in their films, have made Rai lose weight, gain weight and lose it again for successive films.

Oh stop crying Aishwarya, please! Poor you, let me hand you a handkerchief. Whatever, you're fat, and get over yourself. Bollywood is tacky. They belong in the Miss Universe Pageant.

Miss Universe: Let The Tackiness Begin!

I never understood why every Pageant has to be so gaudy, so tacky. You'd think they've got all these beautiful women together in a room, and that's all you'd need. Why go so over the top? Well, here they are!

Oh, and I'm digging Miss Albania, big time.

Useless Things Has A Myspace. Add Us!

Yes, I've finally put up a Myspace profile for Useless Things. It's great that "uselessthings" was still available as a Myspace URL, because it wasn't available for Blogger (the reason the Url is misspelled).
I guess I should write some Useless Things about Myspace. Is any one out there as sick as I am in seeing this chick on the True ads when you sign out of myspace? Is it just me? And who is this chick? I'm sure she's a nice girl, and very pretty in her own right, but she's not a model. It's a terrible picture. She looks bad.

Hey, you guys at True.com, pick another model! And what's the point in advertising your dating community when we're already on Myspace?! Hello! That's like Budweiser buying ad space at the Heineken brewery. Um, yeah, I think I'll just take a Heineken.

Before I forget, click below to add Useless Things to your myspace.

Hanks, Miller, and Howard Cheer For Pirates

Actor Tom Hanks, center, and comedian and Pittsburgh native Dennis Miller, left, along with director Ron Howard attend the Pittsburgh Pirates, Colorado Rockies baseball game Tuesday, in Pittsburgh. The threesome were reacting to a Ron Howard doll being given away between innings of the game. The Rockies snapped an eight game losing streak with a 13-4 win.

Miss Universe; A Closer Look

Hello Miss Norway! Wow! Bang-la-desh, dude! Maybe she's not Miss Universe material, but she's definately a chick you'd want waiting for you in a hot tub. Miss Argentina needs to chill out some, this isn't Maxim or FHM, this is supposed to be classier than that, slut. USA is looking good, there is a real close up picture of her. We may be in the running. Canada is seen better here, and she is 100% woman. Her face looks a bit older than I thought, but it photographs well. Miss Venezuela looks like a horse, or Hugo Chavez, whichever is worse. Spain is totally hot, she has a chance. I'm done.

Naomie Harris Is In Miami Vice

Naomie Harris poses at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. Not only is she in the new Miami Vice movie, but she's also in the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 3.


Take my Miami Vice test here!

Kristen Bell And Miscellaneous TV Chicks

I'm not a Veronica Mars fan, but I sure liked Kristen Bell on that episode of Deadwood and in the David Mamet movie Spartan. She looks like she's gained a lot of weight, but then again, when you're 5"1' and petite if you gain 5 pounds you look fat. That sucks. Still, cute.

I've never heard of these other chicks, but I'm posting their pictures just because. All from the CW network party in Pasadena. Enjoy.

The redhead is Danneel Harris of One Tree Hill. Black dress chick is Erica Durance of Smallville. And the surprised chick is Hilarie Burton, also of One Tree Hill.

Alexis Bledel Is Fine

I got a little worried yesterday with Alexis Bledel. Now I see there was nothing to worry about, she's still looking very good. It was just a bad picture. Why did the photographer even send that one? She looks like a troll in it.

These pictures are much better. Look at those eyes! Can they get any bluer?

Monday, July 17, 2006

What Happened To Alexis Bledel?

I'm not feeling these pictures from the CW Television Critics Association press conference in Pasadena today. The other Gilmore Girls goons are cropped out, because let's face it, no one cares about them. It's all about Alexis.

She used to be so cute, but she looks like dog crap here. Maybe it's just a bad picture. I'm still digging the freckles. Freckles and bones.


They basically announced the 18th season of Gilmore Girls, just in case we thought they were finally going away.

Shakira Holds The Microphone Funny

Shakira performs in Timisoara, Romania today. The concert is part of Shakira's Oral Fixation Tour 2006.That's a real interesting way to hold a microphone. The other hand looks like it wishes it had it's own "microphone" to hold. Is it just me? Hey, I didn't call the album "Oral Fixation," she did. I'm the victim.

More Miss Universe Malarkey

I'm still all about Miss Sweden. I love pasty translucent chicks, kinda like Nicole Kidman, or Naomi Watts. Canada is looking real sweet. Russia is always hot. And Poland has a pair of legs on her, boy. Miss New Zealand is great too, she's right next to Sweden on the main pic, with the Adidas pants.

So many decisions, so many beautiful girls, it's truly a wonderful thing. Canada is standing out right now for me.



Check out my previous Miss Posts:
Bikini post.
More pics.
First post.

New 2Pac!

The Chappelle Show: The Lost Episodes had this on last week, and I just couldn't get it out of my head. It's hilarious. "I wrote this song a long time ago!"

Paul Giamatti Is An Actor

American Splendor and Sideways are such good movies. Mostly in part by the wonderful performances of this multi-talented actor, Paul Giamatti. His next movie is M. Night Shylamalaymalsbnansdlkfhasldkfjslan's Lady in the Water, which I'm planning on seeing, even though everyone I know has a borderline hatred for Shyamalan's contstant film trickery. I still like his movies. Trying to figure out the twist is part of the fun, for me.

Lindsay Lohan Proactiv Commercial

Well, it's more like an infomercial, really. UT is a small blog, so I'm not tooting my own horn, but I believe I had the Lindsay Lohan proactiv story before anyone else. The problem was, no one saw it. Check out the date I had this story.

You Are Fat. Yup, That's Right, You.

How long has it been? Not since May? Well, here they are again. These are from Brazil, the Sao Paulo Fashion Week.

It's a busy Monday on the blogosphere with Mischa's nip slip, nasty Tara Ried bikini pics, and the Lindsay Lohan Proactiv commercial. I felt we needed to remind ourselves of the fact that we are all fat pathetic pigs, and we will never be as happy (or as skinny) as the models I present to you below.

Kate Bosworth Coinslot Pic? (Almost)

Just missed it. Who knows, maybe some other agency got it. It's right on the verge. I did crop out Brandon Routh out of these pics as well. Sorry Brandon.

These are from Leicester Square, London at the British Premiere of Superman Returns.

I never really liked her when she was younger, in movies like Blue Crush, or in Wonderland. I find her a lot more attractive now, as she's a little more mature.


Another Useless note: Her Lois Lane Barbie doll has the special dual eye color thing, just like her.

Paris Hilton On TRL

Paris Hilton on TRL today. God knows what she's promoting. I don't care. But I have realized I haven't posted her in a while. So here we go.


Hmm. Let's see, wanna see Paris's vagina? Click here. NSFW.
(Pic from IDLYITW.)

Wanna hear Paris' song Screwed? Click here.

Miss Universe Bikini Pics

All I've got to say is "Helllooooo Miss Russia!" I like it! Look how cold she is, aww poor baby. And look right next to her, Miss Serbia-Montenegro has got some Universal camel-toe. She's hot too. And look at the mouth on Miss Bolivia!

Ok, ok, thats enough. So far my favs from what I've seen are Israel, Russia, and Sweden. Oh, and USA of course.


Watch out for China, and Trinidad/Tobago.

Since Blogger only lets me have a certain range of High-rez, I've posted 2 huge group shots on my own server, check them out here>>>>>>>>>>> and here>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The Real Little Man From "Little Man"

Linden Porco, 9, who plays the "body" in the movie Little Man smiles during an interview in his parents home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada today. The moviemakers have superimposed Marlon Wayan's head on top of Porco's body. Porco has a disorder which slowed his growth and is 32 inches in height.

Hollywood has had a long history of taking advantage of these freaky people. And I mean that with all due respect. Hey, the Ewoks are still working right? Tony Cox was in Bad Santa, a great role. And what about Warwick Davis? That guy gets more work than Mark Hamill, and he was the star of Star Wars!

Maria Sharapova Nike Commercial

I think Maria Sharapova is the classiest female sports figure right now. She totally beats out Anna Whats-Her-Faces-Name-Anyway, anyday. Here are some shots from her first television advertisement for Nike at Arthur Ashe stadium in New York.

More Miss Universe Pictures

Oh oh, back up a sec. Miss Sweden is looking like the bomb right about now. Damn, maybe they should have won the World Cup. But I have to admit, I'm a sucker for blondes and redheads.

Here are 2 group shots and a shot of Miss Mexico and Miss Puerto Rico.


Here is my previous Miss Universe post. Tight race.

GM All-Car Showdown

Miami Heat basketball player Dwyane Wade shows off his Hummer H2 SUT at the Third Annual General Motors All-Car Showdown at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles yesterday where athletes and celebs automotive enthusiasts showcased their customized GM vehicles. The event was hosted by Shaquille O'Neal for the third consecutive year.

Wade took home the King of Bling award, while Travis Barker showed what a tool he was by showing off his "Cadillac" Tattoo.This was tame though, you guys remember Lohan and the last GM sponsored event?

The Most Expensive Painting Ever

Cosmetics magnate Ronald Lauder listens during an interview, as he stands in front of his latest acquisition of Gustav Klimt's portrait "Adele Bloch-Bauer 1," at New York's Neue Galerie Museum for German and Austrian Art. Lauder paid $135 million for the masterpiece making it the world's costliest artwork. The Bloch-Bauer family obtained it after a long legal battle with Austria over stolen Nazi art.

That's a lot of money for a painting. You could have made Pirates Of The Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl for that much money.

Rosario Dawson And The Dude From...

Rosario Dawson, right, and boyfriend, Jason Lewis celebrate at the premiere after party for "Clerks II" in Los Angeles last night.

I refuse to call this guy "Jason Lewis," he will forever be "the dude from Sex and the City" to me.

Miss Universe Madness Begins

Miss USA Tara Elizabeth Conner, left, poses with 2005 Miss Universe, Natalie Glebova, as they arrive for a party in Los Angeles on Monday.

Hey, USA is pretty hot, but the other countries really come out swinging with these pageants. It's a real big deal for them. Actually, it's kinda like the World Cup in a lot of ways. America really doesn't care about soccer, while other countries murder their goalies when they mess up.

Okay, of the photos today, I think Miss Israel, Anastasya Yentin has got the lead so far, in my opinion. Here she is with Miss Egypt, Fawzeya Mohamed.

Here are some other pics, and I'll have more posts as they come in.

Kate Hudson Is Boring

I saw these pictures today from the premiere of Me, You, and Dupree (which actually looks pretty funny) and thought about how bland Kate Hudson is as a celebrity. She's pretty, sure, and she's safe with her style and dress. Yet there's something so boring and uncontroversial about her.

Maybe it's that she's with that Chris Robinson dude, and you know they're both dirty hippies, and maybe that makes this red carpet glamour bullshit all too apparent as a flat out lie.

We may hate Lindsay and Paris, but at least we know Paris is actually a slut, and Lindsay really is a bubbly party girl.

Paula From The "Real" World

Paula Ann Meronek, a cast member on MTV's The Real World: Key West following her arrest Sunday Cromwell, Connecticut police said she bit her boyfriend during a domestic dispute. Meronek, who was arraigned Monday, was charged with third-degree assault, which carries a potential penalty of a year in prison. She is due back in court Aug. 11.

Well, well, well. I guess things got a little too "real" for the Real World. You'll have to excuse my rant, I've hated MTV reality shows since the very beginning. Remember my last rant on that stupid show? It's probably not even on anymore.

I won't even bother with this one, I'll just post the B.S. image MTV fabricated of this crazy girl, and then the reality of her police mugshot.
And this is where little girls end up who just can't wait to be on TV and be famous! (Without actually having to do any work, or have any talent.) I blame MTV, still. I mean, do these people know how to pick 'em or what?

Cropped Versions Of Kate Bosworth Pics

Kate Bosworth is my new thing. I'm getting a little tired of Lindsay and Mischa lately, I think it's time to make the switch. One of the things I like about this blog is the freedom I have. I don't have to write about certain people, I don't have to be sarcastic or funny all the time, I can do whatever I want with good resources. So here are pictures of Kate Bosworth with all the other actors cropped out during a news conference in Paris, Monday July 10 to promote Superman Returns.



Ya, know, I feel bad about cropping out Kevin Spacey. Routh and Singer can go away, but Spacey, I like him. Here you go, Kevin:

The Next Drug Movie

Here are some nice hi-rez shots of the new Richard Linklater movie, A Scanner Darkly. You just know this is going to be the 4:20 pm movie of the month. Reeves? Downey Jr? Harrelson? AND Ryder? Rotoscoped bitmap animation? Come on. Don't be surprised if your local AMC smells faintly of weed that day.

I'm excited to see it because of Philip K. Dick. I love all of the movies they've made based on his work.

Hilary Duff Pretends To Be A Fashion Designer

Hilary Duff, center, poses with models wearing items from her clothing line stuff by hilary duff during a photo call Tuesday, June 27, 2006 in New York.

Awww, look cute cute she looks playing "fashion designer." I bet student designers that work hard and haven't had a break yet just hate it when celebrities wake up one day and decide to have their own clothing line. Well, I know it sucks, but that's life I guess.

The Real Napoleon Dynomite

Fans take pictures during the Napoleon Dynamite Festival in Preston, Idaho, Saturday, July 8 in front of the home that was used as Napoleon Dynamite's house in the film. The hit film about this sleepy farm town on the Utah border generated $1 million for Preston, according to the town's chamber of commerce.

And below is the "real" sensei Patrick Zook at the dojo they filmed the movie, and look-a-like contest with some random Napoleon dorks.

Refreshing Burst Of Lindsay Lohan Pics

I say "burst" because that what her boobs look like they're doing out of her bikini top. After this whole World Cup nonsense, I'm glad there's such a thing as Egotastic's mega LL bikini picture posts. Check out the rest of them here.

World Cup Ends. Thank God.

Italy won, and France lost. But the real stinker of this God-forsaken last game was when this jerk Zinedine Zidane headbutted Marco Materazzi in the final extra time. It was a cheap shot, and a really ugly move. But I'm glad it happened. I'm glad because this justifies my disregard for this ugly sport. The worst sport ever, soccer. And I call it soccer, not futbol or football mainly because the alliteration of the phrase "soccer sucks" sounds better. That, and I want to piss off any hardcore soccer fans that just hate it when we say "soccer."
So here! Here is the hero! The face of the World Cup! Even at its highest level, at the most important time, in the biggest game in the WORLD for your sport, you have this kind of idiocy and unsportsmanship. FIFA should be really proud!
Let's say it together now, "SOCCER SUCKS!!!"

Nicky Hilton's Non-Hilton Hotel

Nicky Hilton (Paris's much more quite sister) has apparently signed a deal with a Miami Beach developer to rename two hotels, the Breakwater and the Edison, to the Nicky O. They expect to sell the property as Condo-hotel units.

The funny thing is, Hilton Hotels has absoluting nothing to do with the deal! Wait, wasn't Paris Hilton named after the luxurious hotel in Paris, France? Why isn't there a Nicky Hilton Hotel someplace? This could be Nicky's bratty little way of saying, "Nana, Nana, Nana, I've got my own Hotel!! ppfpfpfpfpfphhh!" At least she's trying.




UPDATE: Just recieved a rendering of the hotel.

Mischa Barton Needs To Be Fed Grapes

British comedians Justin Lee Collins (with grapes) and Alan Carr perform a sketch with actress Misha Barton from the Friday Night Project based on 'The OC', the TV show in which Barton appears, at London TV Studios. Mischa is a special guest star for the Friday Night Project TV show.

Well, I guess that clears up who
this guy was. Lucky Bastard. Mischa is looking good, I apologize for calling her "fat" the other day. The only thing I despise about these pictures is that the sketch called for her to dress up in a soccer uniform. It's like a cruel joke to me. Teasing me with thing I like most in the world (Mischa) and the thing I hate most in the world (Soccer). Why'd you do it, Mischa? You're so above soccer.

Kirsten Dunst's Day At The Golf Course

Kirsten Dunst plays a little golf with her younger brother and an unidentified man (possibly her father?)

Anyhow, she looks really cute. Yes, I'm on the Kiki bandwagon. I don't think she's a "troll" like some other bloggers think she is. She's beautiful in a very effortless, casual kind of way. I mean, look at these pics, she looks like she just stepped out of a Gap commercial.

Dirty Hippie Chicks And Willie Nelson

Willie Nelson raises his hat to the fans attending his fourth of July Picnic, Tuesday, July 4, 2006, in Ft. Worth, Texas.

And here are some pretty cute hippie chicks playing in a mud puddle left behind by afternoon rain showers that day.







And here is what those chicks will look like, and what they'll be doing 20 years from now.

Sidekick II Post Part 4, I Think...

It's late. I'd be asleep if I didn't find George Lucas's audio commentary on the THX 1138 DVD absolutely fascinating.

It's a bizzare film, with many social metaphors that still ring true, especially today.

For some reason I feel like quiting my cable tv/dsl service, turning off my cell phone, and living under candle light.

...ugh, wait. I can't do that. I couldn't post any more posts on Useless Things about Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton. And I NEED my Sidekick II, soon to be Sidekick III, I can't breathe without it!

World Cup: Cute German Chicks Crying

Ah, yes, another Useless Things "I hate Soccer" post. You know you love them. Today, Germany lost against Italy, and the amount of pictures of people crying is ridiculous. Thankfully, Germany is a country full of very beautiful women, like Claudia. I'm sorry you guys lost, but, it just goes to show how evil the sport of soccer really is. No one should go through these exaggerated levels of emotion over a stupid game.

For the twisted rest of us, I bring you a bunch of cute German chicks crying:







Is this insane to anyone else out there besides me? They look like they just witnessed a nuclear holocaust or catastrophic terrorism attack. Dude, get a grip it's a soccer game!

Soccer sucks!

Mischa Barton Is Getting Fat

I hate that I just wrote that headline. She's still the most gorgeous thing in Hollywood right now. Yet my keen runway model sensors detect her thighs plumping up a bit in these pictures from the European Premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," at the Odeon Cinema in Leicester Square, central London.

Then again, saying Mischa Barton is getting fat is kind of like saying Kevin Federline is actually a pretty good rapper.

Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom Are Blockheads

British actors Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom, right, pose for photographs after holding a press conference to promote their new film, Pirates Of The Carribean: Dead Man's Chest, at Claridges Hotel, in central London today.

Is it just me? They look like those blockheads in the Gumby cartoons. They both have really really angular faces. Which is funny to me because Kate Bosworth, who Bloom is hooked up with has a very round face. Coincedince?

Keith Richards Is Johnny Depp's Father

At least in the third installment of Pirates Of The Caribbean, that is. Richards is lined up to play the swashbuckling father of "a pirate" Johnny Depp said today. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer said Richards would have a cameo role as the father of the flamboyant Captain Jack Sparrow which is due to resume filming next month in California.

I'm really skeptical about part 2, that comes out this week. I smell a stinker. More hires pics of Depp here.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
