I know, I know… I’ve used the same Christmas picture of Katie Price for the last two years but.. it’s my favorite! Just wanted to wish all my readers a very Merry Christmas! I hope everyone enjoys time with their family and friends, eats a lot of good food, drinks only a little bit too much (and doesn’t drive), and gets to sit in a warm home and relax! If you get done doing all that a bit early, feel free to check out some good gossip stories:

Christmas pictures of Jennifer Love Hewitt circa 2006 *Bastardly* 

Victoria Beckham in a small, black dress looking too skinny *The Skinny Website* 

Pictures of a bikini-clad Michelle Marsh, in case you’re bored *Celebslam* 

Hilary Duff, Haylie Duff, and Kelly Osbourne hanging out (Site NSFW) *Drunken Stepfather* 

Angelina Jolie and her daughter Zahara.. they look weird together *ICYDK* 

Topanga aka Danielle Fishel got arrested for a DUI! Wonder what Corey thinks? *The Superficial* 

Criss Angel and Pam Anderson hanging out.. that’s a lot of disease and nasty in one place *WWTDD* 

So, we know we can’t count on celebrities to clean themselves up on their own.. and that’s why we have photoshop. If you’re like me and you’re totally sick of looking at dirty Amy Winehouse, gross Britney Spears, and big-headed Tyra Banks, then you’re probably hoping they will change. Only.. they don’t! Something tells me they don’t know that they need a bath/hair-cut/make-over.

So, besides Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears, which celebrities do you think need to clean up their act? Which ones would you like to see photo-shopped clean? I’m just learning so go easy on me but I’d love to give it a try. It’s actually pretty fun. I’ll throw out some ideas. Then once I read all my e-mails and comments, I’ll try my hand at the winning celebrity.

Would you like to see a new.. Renee Zellwegger? Paris Hilton?  Victoria Beckham? Rose McGowan? Just lemme know.

On Friday morning, my fiance and I drove to Reno to watch my brother-in-law’s brother play football at University of Nevada at Reno. Because I wanted to treat it like a mini-vacation, even though Reno is like a skankier, more disease-ridden version of Las Vegas, we decided to just enjoy it.. thus, I could not bring myself to post because, after all, it is considered “work.” I kept checking the ‘net from my iPhone (not as cool as you might think it is) and all I was reading was Britney Spears news so I figured I picked a good weekend to get away–I didn’t seem to miss all that much.

Anyway, while I was away this weekend I had an experience that made me think about what celebrities really go through.. and I’m thinking I should go easier on their rich asses. See, my brother-in-law’s brother is the quarterback at UNR and he is already being treated like a celebrity. Granted, someday I think he will be really famous in the NFL or something, right now its just college football. I guess its bigger than I realized, though, because people wait for him to come out of the locker room after the game and they scream his name, beg him for pictures, ask for autographs, and sort of just trail after him. And when he goes out, people stop him for pictures and autographs. That’s probably not even 5% of what its like for huge celebrities, either. Its ruthless, you know? And when you stop and think about it, famous people are just people with lots of money and sometimes talent. Why do we worship them and follow them around? I’m thinking, now, that its all sort of weird. What do you think about paparazzi and media that always surround celebrities?

I’m back just in time for Halloween. I’m hoping for some good Christina Aguilera costume pictures, or maybe even Jennifer Aniston or something. Good Halloween costumes on fun celebrities. I don’t care about Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan or even Britney Spears. Just looking to have a quality Halloween!

Oh, and P.S.. the picture in this post is just some guy dressed up like Britney Spears. Accurate though, isn’t it?

This couple is so cute, I can’t wait to see them on Oprah together. And by I can’t wait to see them, I mean, I’ve already read the interview on the internet but I hope the show is good!

Just because Seal is a singer doesn’t mean Heidi has to be. It’s okay for her to make money just being half naked and beautiful. I’d rather have her be good at the latter than crappy at the first. But the couple, who has two children together, are going to perform a duet at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. They will be singing “Wedding Day” off of Seal’s new album. Kanye West and The Spice Girls will also be performing. Hope it’s good! (Not that I’ll be watching)

First, before I get into explanation of why I chose these people, let me first say that I hate Avril Lavigne so much that I can’t even joke about “loving to hate her” because I don’t.. she just pisses me off and I get no enjoyment or happiness from anything that she says or does. Also, there are a lot of celebrities that I like (Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Biel, Ryan Reynolds, Christian Bale, Drea De Matteo, Fergie, etc..) but this post is just for celebrities that I wish I didn’t like (guilty pleasures!) and that I take pleasure in disliking (creepy, isn’t it?!). So just because I’ve left off Avril Lavigne, Joe Francis, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Criss Angel, and all the others I daily rant about.. doesn’t mean I don’t still dislike them. It just means they don’t neccessarily fit into this category and I’m actually giving them a break!

1. Anna Nicole Smith (R.I.P.)- I hate that I have always secretly loved her! Even now, after she has passed, she is even more intriguing to me. I watched her reality show all the time, and read about her in tabloids too. Even though she was so dumb and seemed like she was on drugs all the time, she was still so entertaining in a wholesome way. I loved watching her because it was fun, and she was beautiful. It’s sad how her life ended..and I admit now that I hate that I liked her! She was so tacky but I just can’t help myself.
2. Ashton Kutcher- I hate loving this guy. He’s semi-talented.. I just watched The Butterfly Effect and he did a mediocre job. But I think he acts like a complete idiot on Punk’d and I think he’s pretty conceited. On top of that, I’ve got to question his relationship with Demi Moore because of their age and maturity. But how can you not secretly love Kelso? Exactly.
3. Britney Spears- I love to hate her (I bet you didn’t know that was coming!) because she makes it so easy! The fishnets, bad wigs, bad weaves, ugly make-up, bad mothering, shaved head, rehab, shitty public relationships, the lip-synching, the poor comeback, the divorce… Jesus, she makes it so easy to hate her and love doing it! I’d have sympathy for her if she wasn’t such a jackass to her fans.
4. Tori Spelling- I love to hate her because she is so overrated. If her daddy wasn’t Aaron Spelling and didn’t give her the roll of Donna Martin, would we even care about her?! Definitely not. And I can’t stand her. She’s annoying and she milked her father’s death and family problems for media attention and money. Pathetic! I enjoy disliking her.
5. Jamie Foxx- I LOVE to hate him! Did you ever read that story about how he told the DJ at a night club to play certain tracks just so he could take the microphone and cut off the songs just to tell the crowd what a crappy choice of music the DJ picked?! And then he’d have them play Kanye West’s ‘Golddigger’ and he’d sing his parts over and over. Loser! This guy thinks he’s better than he really is… trust me!
6. Jared Leto- Normally I’d say I just plain hate him but (it kills me to say this..) he’s such a good actor! I loved him in Panic Room and I gotta give credit where credit is due! So I definitely love to hate him. I can’t stand the painted fingernails, eye make-up, and bad attitude. Did you hear how he insulted the audience at one of his shows then tried to crowd-surf but everyone was pissed so he hit the floor and broke his nose? Loving it.
7. Halle Berry- I may get a lot of grief for this but I hate to love her. Her Oscar speech was more than annoying, but I do think she deserved the Oscar. She’s a great actress (minus the mistake that was Catwoman!) and she is nice to look at. I hide my like for her though, because when she talks she is so annoying and giggly. But she’s talented and pretty!
8. Howie Mandel- The host of Deal or No Deal, Howie Mandel earned my respect with quite possibly the greatest cartoon ever called Bobby’s World. Remember that show? Jesus, it was great. I hate to love Howie for it, but it’s such a classic that I can’t resist. Now he’s just a bald guy with an ego and an attitude, but damn Bobby’s World was great.
9. Mariah Carey- I used to be such a hardcore Mariah fan because I could relate to a lot of her lyrics and she has such a versatile voice. But since she went crazy and then started hating Jennifer Lopez, I’ve begun to hide my love for her because she is often quite obnoxious. A definite hate to love.
10. Jessica Simpson- I love to hate her, whether I’m going to catch a lot of grief for this or not. She’s so dumb and orange, plus when you look at her close up she is sort of tranny-looking. She can’t keep a man and I’m thinking she’s got a big ego that is only over-fed by her poppa Joe. She just bothers me.. but she’s got a great body.
11. Justin Timberlake- I love to hate him! He is just like his ex-girlfriend Britney! He gives me so many reasons! I saw Alpha Dog..he did a good job.. but he just thinks he’s wayy cooler than he is. His voice sounds like he hasn’t hit puberty, he disses on his sponsership for McDonalds… shall I go on? Someone needs to tell him that spitting and hitting the paparazzi isn’t cool!
12. Paris Hilton- I LOVE TO HATE HER! I’ve written so much about Paris in the past that I’m going to leave this one up to you guys! Take your pick from all the crappy stuff she’s done. I wouldn’t put her in the strict hate category with Avril because I at least get laughs from Paris. But, yes, I hate her! And love doing it.
13. Lindsay Lohan- I love to hate her. She seems drugged up so often now that I haven’t heard an intelligent quote from her since she did Mean Girls. She fluctuates between looking anorexic and looking healthy almost weekly. She was actress turned singer now just actress. She is straight turned lesbian turned straight. She manipulates the paparazzi and is completely annoying. A definite love to hate. It can’t be pure hate because she does make me laugh (and feel better about myself!)
14. Nicole Richie- I hate to love her.. that’s a dirty secret! I think she is a man-stealer who does drugs and has an eating disorder.. and that makes me feel bad for her! I think she’s had a difficult life–yes I know she’s rich but that doesn’t mean anything. I like to watch her and read about her. She’s sort of funny and interesting. And I give her props for breaking away from Paris for such a long time without cowaring down to her or badmouthing her.
15. Carson Daly- I love to hate this guy! He’s so skinny now and I just don’t buy that he runs and that’s ALL! Tweek much, Carson? His show is the LEAST FUNNY show I’ve ever seen and yet it’s been on for five years. Madness. He gets dumped by all of his girlfriends and he’s just weak sauce. He just bugs! Bottom line.
16. Nick Lachey- I hate to love Nick Lachey. I think he put up with a lot of bullshit when he got married to Jessica Simpson and I think he really did get his heart broken. He came out the better man and I’m happy to see that. I always like his band, and he seems like a really cool guy. But I’m often hating myself for loving him because he’s so cheesy! Like that special he had on MTV about his divorce and his new album.. yuck. But at the end of the day, I think he’s pretty cool. Too bad he wasn’t more successful. I’d be happy to see him sell more albums!
17. Oprah- I love to hate her. Everyone loves Oprah cause she’s got so much friggin cash, she has a good story to tell about how she became successful, she’s friends with all the stars, she builds schools for poor kids.. blah blah blah. I’ve heard stories about Oprah behind the scences that say she’s a wicked diva. I believe it. I like her show but I dislike her. My opinion only.
18. Rosie O’Donnell- I love to hate her. (Don’t get me wrong, though.. I hate Donald Trump too!) She’s obnoxious but hypnotizing. Seriously. I can’t stand her voice or how she writes those stupid ass poems on her website, but she sometimes says stuff that I hate so much I can’t stop thinking about. She irks me on a whole new level and I like that.
19. Scarlett Johansson- I love to hate her. Ryan Reynolds can do SO much better. Okay, thanks!
20. Will Ferrell- I hate to love him. He was funny on SNL and when he did Old School, but he is getting soo tired and played out! His new movie, Blades of Glory, was beyond stupid and horrible.. but I still think Will is a funny guy. He might need to retire, or go back to SNL, though. But I’ll always love him.. no matter how many REALLY REALLY BAD movies he makes. (Yes, Blades of Glory was that stupid!)
21. Kim Kardashian- I love to hate her. I like to look at her, but she annoys me. I love that she hates Paris Hilton, but I hate that she hates Haylie Duff. She confuses me. But I dislike her on a lovely level.

I must apologize to all the fabulous people who read my site and expect frequent updates. This whole “job-with-no-internet-connection” thing is lame. If only someone paid me for just being good-looking, right?

I’ve been busy with school stuff and work this last week, but promise that next week will be better for updates. I haven’t forgot about any of you.. or any of those stinky celebrities either! Just been busy.

If anybody has any good stuff for me to write about, since I’ve been out of the loop this week, feel free to suggest some stories via e-mail.

And hey, if anyone watches that weird Alexis Arquette interview special with the other trans-genders tomorrow, let me know. I want to watch it but my TiVo is already busy.

XOXO.
