of unnecessary things out there and this is definitely one of 'em! i don't mind kim or her two sisters but let's face it - if it weren't for her now
- none of them would be 'famous' - that tape has been a blessing for the entire family - i feel like it was planned all along! will anybody out there admit to buying into products like these? i just can't believe it would be profitable but i could easily be wrong! could you imagine asking somebody what they're wearing - and getting the reply 'oh the new kim kardashian scent'? i'd think they lost their mind! while on the topic of unnecessary things - i'm still busy tossing out tons of stuff i don't need anymore - today i got rid of at least six trash bags full of junk - it feels good - now i'm on a mission to finish throwing away all the crap i've somehow accumulated over the years! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo

just in case you were wondering ... fashion icon and designer
valentino (he turns 78 in may) is
still bringing the orange factor to the table in 2010 (i first posted about
his artificial orange glow back in 2008 and then
this past march) i think he'd actually look way better if he lost that look - it's so obviously fake - it looks ridiculous but to each his own i suppose! he was spotted out earlier tonight at the london premiere of
a single man - fellow fashion maven
tom ford's (
mr. sexy) directorial debut which i did think was incredible but it's definitely a downer but don't let that stop you - it's for sure worth seeing plus it stars super cutie

good evening! remember
a few months ago when supreme class act &
mom of the year nominee
shauna sand was
trying to block the release of her 'unconsented' sex tape? well it looks like girlfriend had a change of heart - now she's tossing her full support (and d-cups) behind
shauna sand exposed at a recent party at
rick's cabaret in NYC! this doesn't surprise me at all ... when she was trying to stop the tape from coming out - i think that was all a ruse - part of her small-minded master plan to gain publicity (and blog posts - ha!) i have zero clue as to why i like to post on ms. sand - she's just so over the top & crazy (oh those lucite stilettos that she's
always wearing) i simply can't help myself - it's totally the train wreck factor at work once again! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo

this is truly amazing ...
cindy mccain (wife of former republican presidential nominee
john mccain) and her daughter
meghan mccain are standing up - saying no to hate by posing for the now infamous
NOH8 campaign - started by photographer
adam bouska and his partner
jeff parshley - which aims to fight against marriage inequality imposed on gays & lesbians with unfair and discriminatory legislation such as california's
proposition 8 - which i hope & pray the supreme court decides to overturn - it's simply not fair! kudos to both cindy & meghan for standing up and crossing party lines for something very important to me personally! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
In the year since we've started the NOH8 Campaign, we've often been surprised at some of the different individuals who have approached us showing their support. Few, though, have surprised us more than Cindy McCain - the wife of Senator John McCain and mother to vocal marriage equality advocate Meghan McCain. The McCains are one of the most well-known Republican families in recent history, and for Mrs. McCain to have reached out to us to offer her support truly means a lot. Although we had worked with Meghan McCain before and were aware of her own position, we'd never really thought the cause might be something her mother would get behind. We have a huge amount of respect for both of these women for being brave enough to make it known they support equal marriage rights for all Americans.
Aligning yourself with the platform of gay marriage as a Republican still tends to be very stigmatic, but Cindy McCain wanted to participate in the campaign to show people that party doesn't matter - marriage equality isn't a Republican issue any more than it is a Democratic issue. It's about human rights, and everybody being treated equally in the eyes of the law that runs and protects this country. READ MORE

latoya jackson took a break from sleuthing and
getting to the bottom of everything to play 'the phantom of the opera' for one night over in dresden, german where she was the guest of honor at the '5th semper opera ball' and picked up some kind of award ... probably for extremely loose lips because her lips didn't stop flapping after her brother
michael jackson suddenly passed away this past june! i don't really have anything bad to say about her but i did feel she was really trying to hog the spotlight - girlfriend just needed to calm down - at least she wasn't as bad as

i'm curious to find out what kind of drugs
heidi montag and her hubby
spencer pratt take because it's obvious she's on
something ... you've got to read an excerpt from
a new interview she did with
entertainment weekly about her debut album
superficial which landed on
itunes just the other day - it's totally cheesy pop music - not super awful yet for her to compare it to
michael jackson's classic album
thriller is
ludicrous - he must be rolling over in his grave! besides this silly interview (is she serious? the things that fly out of her mouth are unbelievable & delusional) ms. montag is also featured on the cover of
people magazine this week for her
self-admitted addiction to plastic surgery -
ten procedures in one day - that's simply out of control! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
EW: Why did it take three years to put this together?
HEIDI MONTAG: Well, I did it independently. If you look back at the superstars throughout history it used to take that long to put albums together. Now it's more manufactured. I really wanted to take my time, and every song means so much to me. And every song was a true journey. I had to track down the songs myself, because it was just Spencer and I doing it independently. We really took our time with every single process, because we wanted it to be the highest quality possible. I wanted it to be back to the Thriller days, to that kind of sound. It's timeless music, so whenever it comes out was the right timing.
EW: Do you think Superficial holds up against something like Thriller?
HM: I definitely do. I think people might not see it now, because it's my first album coming out. But I've spent as much time-maybe more, even-than Thriller. Every detail was very important to me, because I take this very seriously. Most artists, it's not their own money, but I've actually gone broke putting every dollar I've ever made and my heart and soul into this music. For me, I have a different appreciation, a different understanding, and a different love of my music and for my album than any other artist possibly could. Because this is my money. This is my gamble. This is my chance.
EW: Do you know how much money you've spent?
HM: I've spent over a million, almost $2 million on this album. It's cost as much or more than a Britney Spears album, because I wanted it to be that quality and to be able to get those people. My album would have cost a record label over $4 million.
EW: What happens if you don't earn your money back?
HM: That's not even a possibility. I think within the first week we will definitely make our money back. The songs will make an impact in pop history. They are absolutely incredible and everybody involved is the best of the best. People just haven't seen me as a pop star. I'm very excited for the world to see a whole new Heidi.
EW: If the album doesn't do as well as you hope, will you still pursue a music career?
HM: Definitely. I think it's gonna do great. I have a million twitter followers and they're all very excited. So that's at least a million people right there. It also takes time. I don't expect it to be instant. Maybe it's the biggest album in a couple months? Maybe it's the biggest album in a year? But I will never stop music. This is the first album of many to come. As long as I can keep affording it and keep doing it I will, because it's my love and my passion. SOURCE
good evening! oh that
jennifer lopez takes herself way too seriously ... check out some of the quotes below from the latest issue of
ELLE magazine - she actually thinks that
maid in manhattan and
monster-in-law are decent romantic comedies - i don't what she's thinking! jennifer's not the worst actress ever but girlfriend
will never win an oscar - the best movie she ever did was
out of sight with hottie
george clooney! she's also got a new album (her 7th studio release) coming out soon which i'm surprisingly excited for - her last one
brave was a total guilty pleasure of mine! hopefully the next one will be just as 'good'! popbytes over & out for tonight ... much love to all as always ... xoxo
On why she never considered in vitro fertilization, like her character in The Back-Up Plan:
"When it comes to family and relationships, I'm quite traditional. Just because of the way I was raised. And I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don't mess with things like that. And I guess deep down I really felt like either this is not going to happen for me or it is. You know what I mean? And if it is, it will. And if it's not, it's not going to."
On the merit of her romantic comedies:
"I think Maid in Manhattan and Monster-in-Law are very layered movies. And that's why they're so successful. People don't like shitty romantic comedies. Nothing that's shitty is going to make $100 million."
On hosting a dinner for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor:
"She didn't realize what she was going to symbolize. And it's always scary to be thrown into it-that's what I felt like when I did Selena. You're thrown out there, and all of a sudden you're not anonymous. You are now known. And that's a lot to handle. It's scary at first. Then you get used to it. And so she was in that moment of her life where it's just like, What the hell? Everybody's clapping for me. People are writing about me, talking about me, I'm on TV. She was just a judge in New York."
On competing with twenty-something pop idols as a 40-year-old mom:
"This is what I do--what, because I have kids and a husband now I'm not supposed to be me? I'm a more heightened me if anything. Hyper J.Lo. Everything I wanted before, I want twice as much now. And that doesn't mean material things; it means to explore more, to think more. Being an artist doesn't start because you're 21, and it doesn't end because you're 51. You are who you are until the day you die."
good morning! my gosh - celebrity news & gossip is so slow right now that i'm actually posting the latest cover of

PS as for the whole
charlie sheen scandal - i have
zero sympathy for
brooke mueller - girlfriend knew what she was getting herself into when she married mr. sheen ... did brooke really think she'd live happily ever after with charlie?!
denise richards must be loving this whole situation!
L&S: Congrats! How does it feel to be parents?
Kourtney: It feels amazing. It's just so indescribable. You don't get how good being a parent feels until it happens to you.
Scott: My first time holding him was definitely special. But holding him the second time was even more special, and the third time was even more special than that. I fall so much more in love with this kid every day. I can't imagine how much more in love with him I'm going to be by the time he's 5 or 10 or 20!
L&S: How was the labor itself?
Kourtney: It was surprisingly easy and just an incredible experience. I always thought your first is supposed to be really hard, but it was easy. I have an amazing doctor. He actually delivered me! The room environment was just so relaxing, and everyone I wanted to be there was there--Scott, my mom, Kim and Khloé. No one under 18 is allowed in, so my little sisters Kendall and Kylie couldn't come in. Actually, you're only allowed to have two people in the room because of the swine flu -- so we snuck Kim and Khloé in!
L&S: What is your daily routine like now?
Kourtney: We're on Mason's schedule, waking up every couple of hours to breast-feed. But it's fun to get up and see him. I miss him by the time I see him again.
L&S: Can you see having another baby in the future?
Kourtney: Right now I'm obsessed with Mason and want to give him all my time. But being with him has definitely made me think about having another one! Kim and I are 18 months apart. Growing up, we did everything together. It would be nice for Mason to have a little brother or sister that many months apart too.
hey - it's xmas eve! i hope everyone's having a super relaxing evening - i'm not doing much tonight or tomorrow - just relaxing - next friday we leave for hawaii - i can't wait - a vacation to clear my head is desperately needed but of course i'll still be posting here on popbytes - perhaps a little less than normal (right now i'm trying to post six times a day ... it's hard to come up with stuff that i feel is worth featuring!) anyways i've always had a thing for fashion designer

suri cruise sure does have quite a big bag of make-up for such a little girl - isn't she simply adorable?! (most of her girlie items appear to be lip gloss) stepford mom
katie holmes took her to visit dad
tom cruise on the set of his action / comedy flick
knight & day (also starring
cameron diaz - who last starred alongside mr. cruise in 2001's
vanilla sky - i
loved that movie ... unfortunately i don't think anyone else did!) which is shooting over in sevilla, spain - but things got a little too loud for suri and they left the action! i bet when suri gets older she's going to be a handful ... already at age three she loves
her high heels and make-up - she'll probably outdo
taylor momsen (the current queen of
16 going on 30) in her teen years! suri's still my favorite celebrity spawn - she's so darn cute - i do wonder if she'll end up prescribing to
scientology? or maybe she'll bring the organization down from the 'inside' - that sounds like a movie in the making! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo

hey y'all! i love portuguese soccer hottie
cristiano ronaldo as much as the next person (he

trying to rock on both ears - he looks ridiculous! he'd look way better without them - as do most men! i used to wear earrings in the early 90's (unfortunately you can still see the holes - my mom warned me) but i definitely wouldn't be caught dead with 'em today - that popular trend has thankfully come & gone - it was never a flattering look - a few guys can still get away with it but for the most part - pierced ears for men are over - sorry guys! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

good evening! oh what a day its been - i had a sinking feeling yesterday - and this afternoon i was laid off from my day job of over six years! surprisingly i feel quite relieved - the last few months there weren't the same - i think the job had run its course - so it's onwards and upwards to bigger & better things! right now the game plan is run
popbytes full-time - while keeping my eyes peeled for another job - so definitely expect more posts plus i'll also be on
twitter a lot more - i'm actually kind of excited and very relieved - i've been itching for a change for awhile - it's totally my time to shine!
anyways ... i'm trying to play matchmaker tonight - when i came across these recent photos of
david gest and
susan boyle (her
debut album is actually really decent) i couldn't help but think they might make a hot pair! for some reason i see them getting along famously ... just like he did with
liza minnelli until things went south (oh my gosh - remember when
they got married? that was a wacky wedding - complete with
michael jackson and
elizabeth taylor) david and susan both happen to be on the other side of the pond - they already have location on their side - let's somehow make this love connection happen! popbytes over & out for tonight - much love to everyone as always - xoxo

hey hey! for a brief moment earlier this morning it was time for single ladies all over the world to rejoice ... word broke that long-time couple
jake gyllenhaal had split from reese witherspoon but representatives for the couple were
quick to deny the break up and confirmed jake and reese are still together ... but i wonder for how long? could this be the beginning of the end? once a story like this breaks from a fairly reputable source (
people magazine) i think it will be only a matter of time before an official split occurs! i'd love to see cutie jake be single once again - i find ms. witherspoon to be on the irritating side of the fence plus i've heard stories over the years from a number of people that she's difficult to deal with and annoying ... yes she may be cute but he could definitely do much better! we'll need to keep a super close eye on
gyllenspoon for tell-tale signs over the next few weeks! popbytes over & out for tonight (gosh, it totally sucks the holiday weekend is almost over - ugh) xoxo

just in case you were wondering ...
nick lachey and
vanessa minnillo are still doing it ... not that anywhere really cares - forgive me since it's a pretty slow news holiday weekend except for all that
tiger woods accident / fight with his wife drama (which i don't care about at all ... hello boring) i'd still love to see nick get back with
jessica simpson but sadly that ship set sail quite a long time ago (the same could be said about
britney spears and
justin timberlake - no hope!) i'm quite surprised these two have lasted as long as they have ... i wonder if he'll ever put a ring on it? you know she's itching for that to happen! the couple was spotted out in miami this weekend having fun on the beach - he's still really cute but i think he's a bit thicker than he used to be? somehow nick recently
scored himself a job - he definitely needed a new gig because his music career is dead in the water just like ms. simpson's! as far as vanessa's concerned - she's a total bore - i really have zero opinion on her - if i never heard about her again - i wouldn't even notice! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo

good evening! to answer my own question ... no!
suri cruise is beyond adorable - hands down my fave celeb spawn - even though i'm not a huge fan of her parents
tom cruise and (stepford wife)
katie holmes!
tomkat just
celebrated their third anniversary (amidst
tabloid rumors of trouble) i wonder if katie will be able to put up with tom and
scientology for another three years? will she have another baby at some point? katie was walking around NYC earlier today with suri in tow plus tom's daughter
isabella cruise (16) tagged along (poor thing is
totally going through those awkward teen years!) i want to know how much time isabella and her brother
connor cruise spend with their mom
nicole kidman ... the general impression is not that much - i could be wrong - yet the relationship between nicole and tom has always appeared chilly (even when they were married) all drama aside - every time i see pictures of suri - my heart melts - although i don't really want to have kids (i'll stick with my dogs) seeing her makes me think twice! popbytes over & out for tonight ... xoxo

hey hey! i was never really into
levi johnston (
bristol palin's baby daddy) but after hearing about his
playgirl photo shoot for months now - of course my curiosity was peaked and i must admit - he's looking pretty damn sexy in the pictures posted below (i definitely wouldn't kick him out of bed but i doubt he'd been any good for engaging conversation) of course to see the whole set - head to
playgirl.com (or there's a few more
here - NSFW) i don't really know where he thinks his lack of career is heading (the same could be said about
sarah palin) sadly this will probably be levi's shining moment (i wonder how much he was paid to strip down?) hopefully he's enjoying his fifteen minutes of fame - because they certainly won't last forever! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

oh lordy ... when i first heard that
heidi montag and
spencer pratt were writing a book - i assumed it was a big joke but unfortunately it's not ... their book
how to get famous is available starting today (please don't all rush out at once to go buy a copy) the two reality TV stars (i like to call 'em idiots) were showing off the book (which of course they didn't write) in their usual hammy self-promotion style while at LAX - even as they went through security (
pointing to the chapter entitled 'the paps are your friends') the sad part is - some poor wannabe out there will probably take this book seriously and use it to plot their way to the top of being famous for doing absolutely nothing! perhaps the easiest path to being famous for nothing these days is the sex tape route?
kim kardashian and her entire family have gotten tons of mileage out of her sex tape! even though i can't stand either of these two twits - i'm still watching
the hills - it's terrible this season (
lauren conrad please come back) but for some reason i'm not ready to totally let go yet of the train wreck! hopefully this will be the show's last season - yet

hey everyone! i really can't stand anything
gosselin related but as i sift through paparazzi pictures on a daily basis looking for content to write about here on popbytes - i started to notice loser
jon gosselin is practically always smoking in pictures - more than anyone else (see examples below) of course people like
amy winehouse and
kate moss suck down cigarettes (along with
many other celebs who secretly smoke) but i bet mr. gosselin would take the top prize for being photographed puffing up a storm ... perhaps he has a $ecret deal to continually smoke in public?
