Bai Ling & Pink went paddling in their kayak. That was good exercise and workout for the camera. Pink looked well toned in her sexy bikini. Bai Ling looked her usual skinny self. Recently, she was voted as the winner of the “Fug Madness 2008.” This title was given for the worst dressed celebrity. The website that counted the votes had about 1 million votes in 10 days. So Bai Ling won the title.
I’m so happy that I finally came around on Vanessa Hudgens. I used to give her such a hard time but that’s really changed over the last little while. My biggest problem with her was the “stolen” nude photos of her that seemed to pop up on an alarmingly regular basis but that had less to do with photos themselves and more to do with the fact that I wasn’t convinced they were actually stolen. My opinion of her really started to change when I realized that, yes, they were stolen and the poor girl seemed powerless to stop it. We can all “tsk tsk” her for taking naked photos of herself at such a tender age but I’m not going to lie. I did it. I’m sure I’m not the only one either. Vanessa handled the scandal admirably and has come a long way since then. In these photos, snapped as Vanessa went out in Studio City, Vanessa looks adorable. I love the hat and I love the outfit. Lovely girl. I hope the future holds big things for her.
So LeAnn Rimes went to rehab because she was depressed or something. I can’t remember the details now but it didn’t sound like she was in a good way. Before she decided to check in, a lot of people were commenting on her weight – saying she was too slim and didn’t look healthy. I understood where those people were coming from. For a long time, LeAnn looked skeletal. In these photos, snapped at a beach in LA, we see a much healthier, much happier looking LeAnn and despite my personal issues with the girl, I have to admit that’s very nice to see. I don’t like her but I also don’t want her to be unhealthy or unhappy. Rumors of problems with Eddie Cibrian seem to be completely baseless, at least from the looks of things here, and while I don’t like the way they got together, it is nice to see them looking happy. Kind of.
I used to like Farrah Abraham. I really did. It’s funny how much of a difference one little sex tape can make. See, it’s not the sex tape I have a problem with. It’s all the lies that went along with the sex tape. Threatening to sue anyone that posted her ‘private’ sex tape online was just sleazy, considering it wasn’t a private tape at all but was filmed in front of a very professional camera crew with a very professional porn star partner. This was a tape that was made to be distributed and I have no problem with that – assuming, of course, the people involved are honest about it. I know I should let the whole thing go but the whole thing just bothered me so very much. I used to defend this girl when people talked smack about her. Now I just feel silly about that. All the same, she looks hot enough in these photos from Miami Beach and I suppose the sex tape in question was an especially good sex tape so that counts for … well, nothing in my opinion but probably a whole lot in the opinions of others.
It isn’t just the home wrecking. It really isn’t. Don’t get me wrong. That still really bothers me (and not just with LeAnn – I blame Eddie just as much as I blame LeAnn) but it’s LeAnn’s entire attitude that rubs me the wrong way. I loved her when I was a teenager. I thought she was phenomenally talented, beautiful and had a bright future. Then she decided she wanted to take on a more mature image and I supported her through that. Then the cheating thing happened and she lost a lot of respect in my eyes. The last bit of respect I had for her went out the window when she showed up on The X Factor and staggered her way through her performance with Carley Rose. That little girl is talented but she had what could’ve been a beautiful moment she’d remember the rest of her life ruined by the train wreck she was performing with. The worst part though? The very next day LeAnn blamed the whole mess on the little girl! Come on, LeAnn – take a little responsibility for your actions. I know that’s something you’ve never been good at but maybe it’s time to start. When you start blaming children for your inability to stay sober long enough to sing one song, you know times are tough. All the same, LeAnn looks pretty hot in her bikini in Cabo but no amount of sex appeal will ever be enough to rinse out the bad taste this woman leaves in my mouth.
Heez, maybe the world really is ending because here we have a set of photos of Kesha that she doesn’t look terrible in. Who would’ve guessed? I know there are people out there who think Kesha is a stunning woman who gets more and more gorgeous all the time, but I don’t happen to be one of them. She bugs me. I don’t think she’s all that attractive but more than that, her recent lyrics scandal has made me think she’s also spineless. After a tragedy like the one at Newton, Connecticut, songs that once barely raised eyebrows suddenly seem offensive or at least insensitive. Such is the case with Kesha’s “Die Young” which was pulled from radio stations across the US following the elementary school shooting tragedy. The song features the lyrics “Let’s make the most of the night like we’re gonna die young/We’re gonna die young/We’re gonna die young” which probably wasn’t considered insensitive at all until twenty children were murdered in their classrooms. Even so, in light of the tragedy, they came across that way and it was decided it was best to pull the single from radio stations for a while. Other artists had their singles pulled as well. None of those artists responded the way Kesha did. She took to Twitter and said she was “forced” to sing the lyrics, odd considering only a short time earlier, she said she was proud of writing her own lyrics and said she would never sing something she didn’t believe in. She’s since backtracked, saying her Tweets were the result of feeling emotional about the tragedy. I don’t believe her. I think she was faced with a tough situation and decided to be a coward, trying to pin the blame on someone else. Here’s the deal though. If that shooting hadn’t happened, no one would’ve batted an eyelash at those lyrics. It would’ve been better for Kesha to choose not to comment or to try to understand where radio stations were coming from. After something like Newton happens, there is a lot of shock, anger and sadness. Try to understand that and handle the situation with grace instead of coming off like an insensitive, whiny brat. Anyway, that’s my rant for the day.
