so long paris & paris



it’s true – paris hilton and paris latsis are no more – engagement off – are we surprised? hardly – it was so odd to begin with – i wonder what mom kathy hilton makes of the whole thing? anyways as paris moves on it’s goodbye september 2005 – hello october 2005 – last month was a great month for popbytes – and i expect october to be even hotter! the fires have calmed down here in los angeles a bit – but it’s still hotter than hades – much love to all as always – please keep it tuned to popbytes – xxoo


I’m sad to announce that I’ve called off my engagement. Over the last couple months I’ve realized that this is the right decision for me. We remain best of friends, and I’ll always love him, I hope people will respect my privacy during this emotional time.PARIS HILTON

hey kids! just a quick post – had to share this – this is so freaking me out! it’s been hot as hell here in los angeles and now these fires have broken out – big bad ass fires – and actually some celeb homes are under threat! wild! but the craziest thing is – you know i am in hollywood – which seems oh so distant from the fires burning down the west valley – BUT – i went on my balcony – and dudes – i can fucking smell the fire! i was immediately aurally transported to memories of me being a boy scout (yes i was if you can believe it) i feel like i am camping – i am ready to roast marshmellows (oh smores!) – anyways – it’s so weird – california has had so many fires since i have been here – but NEVER could i smell it like i can now – gosh good times here! anyways i’m watching SURVIVOR (and TIVO’ing the season premiere of ALIAS)…popbytes out for now – i shall soon be sending smoke signals – xxoo!

famous pairs – anna and j. howard



hey y’all – so glad we made it mid-week – tomorrow and friday should be easy breezy (beautiful!) – so i wanted to mention this little book to you guys – a colleague (plus a great ‘pop’ guy all around) of mine’s wife co-authored this amazing photo book – fabulously titled famous pairs – it’s a great photographic send-up of famous ‘pairs’ posed as actual pears! so when i got my ‘press kit’ (i love this kinda stuff!) – i was blown away – it was this darling small fruit crate packed with the book and two actual pears – how yummy – popbytes loves pears (especially when combined with delicious gorgonzola cheese!) – and the book itself is just darling and oh so clever – and with all the current anna nicole smith hoopla concerning her impending date with the supreme court – i thought the example pictured below to be very ‘in the now’ – so enjoy and please check out their website over at famouspairs.com and pick yourself up one – or even a ‘pair’ – a perfectly ‘pearish’ gift! popbytes out for now…xxoo








THEY’RE EVERYWHERE. They’re in our art, our music, sports, pop culture, and politics. They fill the pages of great literature such as Shakespeare, the Bible, and People magazine. And they’ve helped create some of the best scandals since the beginning of time.



Now stemming from a pair of clever (but decidedly twisted) minds comes Famous Pairs: a deliciously absurd collection of portraits celebrating some of history’s most noteworthy twosomes. From Adam and Eve, to Bonnie and Clyde, to Bill Clinton and you-know-who, you’ve never seen couples captured in quite the same way.



So laugh and point and remember with the turn of each page why some of our favorite pairs are sweet, some are juicy, and more than a few are just plain tasteless. EAT UP.

To: HBO



‘Ello hello hello! Listen, babygirl….



We consider the cancellation of the show “The Comeback” a travesty on the part of Home Box Office. Please bring it back!!! The show was underappreciated, and perhaps underwatched, but hit a stride mid-season that would surely be continued into a much deserved second season.



Please bring Valerie, Mickey (our favorite gay), Juna, Mark, Paulie G, Tom, Jane, Francesca and all the rest back for another season!!!!!



Sincerely,

The Undersigned

charlize as aeon flux!



the future is flux…gosh who doesn’t love the MTV anime show from back in the day aeon flux which was set 400 years in the future and featured one of the sexiest animated ladies ever – well we all know charlize theron was enlisted to play the sexy lady in the large screen adaption of the show (frances mcdormand also stars!) – and finally i saw the trailer and discovered the super cool website for the film – it opens december 2nd – and by the looks of the trailer – someone has a winner on their hands! i think charlize is going to knock this one out of the park – gosh she is hot with that black hair – so really do check out the trailer over at aeonflux.com – i can’t wait – we so love charlize! popbytes out for now…
