Maddox Jolie-Pitt is All Grown Up!

I feel old sometimes because people around me do grown up things that you do when you’re an adult.

Not this guy.

Not this guy.

For example, some of my friends have gotten married. Some have bought houses. Some have even gotten divorced.

HOWEVER, nothing makes me feel as old as seeing modern day Maddox Jolie-Pitt, the now 12-year-old Cambodian boy whom Angelina Jolie adopted as a single parent back in 2002 right after she split with second husband Billy Bob Thornton, thus ushering in the phase of “St. Angie.”*

Let’s look at Maddox over the years.

Here he is as a baby.

Ahhhhh too cute.

Ahhhhh too cute.

A year or so later he already has a hipster haircut.

Man in black.

Man in black.

Time marches on.

Going on a safari?

He must be pissed because they’re on their way to pick up Zahara from the orphanage. Home boy does not want to share the spotlight.

Oh Jesus really?

He looks like he should be dealing drugs to his boarding school classmates.

He looks like he should be dealing drugs to his boarding school classmates.

Rolling with the homies.

He must go to the colorist as his mama.

He must go to the colorist as his mama.

And now the current day modern Maddox!

Puberty time!

Puberty time!

Look at that upper lip! It’s like he’s a budding Tom Selleck!

I KNOW.

Oh yes.

Is it wrong that I really want to hear him talk because his voice is probably changing and I want to see a Jolie-Pitt look awkward because they are otherwise so perfect?

Yeah, it’s wrong.

Kids, they grow up so fast!!!

 

*And yes, if we have to get all technical about it, I know she started the adoption process while she was married to Billy Bob, but she essentially raised him alone till she met Brad Pitt.

Stevie is Coming to American Horror Story!

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow, or the next week, or the week after . . . because the original gypsy and white witch is coming to American Horror Story: Coven!

Woohoo!

Woohoo!

I would say thank you Jesus but since this is a show about witches and all I’ll say thank you Lucifer instead.

So, thank you Lucifer!

I love Stevie Nicks for many reasons. One, she is a kick ass woman in rock and roll. “Gypsy” by Fleetwood Mac is one of my favorite songs of all time. Two, I will never forget an interview I read with her in 1998 in Rolling Stone where she declared her love for the TV show Miami Vice. She explains to journalist Jancee Dunn that she likes to make mix tapes for when she runs on the treadmill.

Jancee Dunn: I thought you watched “Miami Vice” on the treadmill.

Stevie: I do, but “Miami Vice” isn’t on quite as often as it was before.

I love that bitch!

So Ryan Murphy, creator of AHS, kudos to you. I can’t wait to see what you do with such a talent.

And let’s just listen to “Gypsy,” shall we?

Jessica Fletcher Wants Murder Not To Be Written!

Oh no! Jessica Fletcher wants to close up shop in Cabot Cove.

This picture will never seize to amaze me.

This picture will never seize to amaze me.

Actress Angela Lansbury had come out and said it: the reboot of Murder, She Wrote is a bad idea. The great dame explains that she likes Octavia Spencer, who is set to star as the lead who probably will NOT be called Miz Fletcher, but it’s just wrong to rewrite such a classic:

I think it’s a mistake to call it “Murder, She Wrote,” because “Murder, She Wrote” will always be about a Cabot Cove and this wonderful little group of people who told those lovely stories and enjoyed a piece of that place, and also enjoyed Jessica Fletcher, who is a rare and very individual kind of person … So I’m sorry that they have to use the title “Murder, She Wrote,” even though they have access to it and it’s their right. I saw [Octavia] in “The Help” and thought she was absolutely wonderful, a lovely actress. So I wish her well, but I wish it wasn’t in “Murder, She Wrote.”

What does Octavia think about that? So far she hasn’t said a thing but I think her expression here says it all.

Bish, please.

Bish, please.

Can’t wait to see how this plays out. Meow!

I Want a Barbie Head for Christmas

As a grown woman, I am supposed to want certain adult things for Christmas presents. “Liz,” my mom says when she calls me on my adult phone that does not look like this:

I was SO jealous of my friends who sold enough magazine subscriptions to get this in 8th grade.

My mom would never let me have a phone in my room. MEANIE!

“Pick out some clothes from Banana Republic and Anne Taylor and I’ll order them for you online.” My dad sends me an email asking what magazine subscriptions I want this year. My grandmother sends me a check.

DON’T GET ME WRONG. I love ALL kinds of presents. In fact, I think Christmas should be called Receivemas. However, what this big girl wants this year is toys. Big f—ing awesome toys.

I'd also take a night with this guy.

I’d also take a night with this guy.

Toys are f—ing awesome. There are all kinds. Board games, dolls, Easy-Bake Ovens, video games. The list is unless. One of my faves growing up were Barbies. Yeah, I said it. This grown up feminist loved Barbies. Sure, they gave me body issues–I mean, even today, WHERE ARE MY BOOBS? But eh, I lived to tell.

Also liked these bitches

I also liked these bitches called “Hot Looks Dolls” who were supposed to be international models (made out of cloth) who stripped down o their skivvies. My little brother liked them too.

Toys are everywhere. Yesterday I was in a CVS buying adult deodorant and I saw a modern day version of one of my faves.

The giant Barbie head!!!

Flawless

Flawless.

Oh, the MEMORIES that came back. This was one of my most absolute most prized possessions from the age of 2 to 10, although mine was way more busted than the fierce bitch pictured above.

Party girl

Party girl!

1980s Barbie head looked like she spent the night at Studio 54 with Liza Minnelli, Bianca Jagger, and Andy Warhol, doing anyone and anything-coke, Quaaludes, Ken–in the bathroom.

Who knows, maybe I’ll win the Super Toy Run on Nickelodeon and get to buy one! A girl’s gotta have hope.

Ryan Lochte is the New Nancy Kerrigan

Jeah! This ain’t right.

Hey girl, want to come over and wear shoes?

Busy dreaming of Liz.

No, America’s classiest swimmer DID not all of a sudden convert to being a graceful silver and bronze-medal Olympic figure skater.

But his knee was hurt by a VERY zealous person.

Too soon?

Too soon?

Fun loving criminals Shane Shant and Steve Gillooly did not come out of retirement, but this time around it was a crazy ass teenager who did the deed, though I doubted she plotted with Tonya Harding.

I miss this broad!

I miss this broad!

You see, a VERY excited teen fan was so overcome with enthusiasm in Florida when she saw Lochte that she ran into his arms.  What would Ryan Lochte do, you ask? Well, being strong and hot, he caught her, but then they fell.

Jeah! Never gets old.

Unfortch, I don’t have a pic of their descent, so here is Ryan’s toso instead. You’re welcome.

The girl was uninjured, but unfortunately Ryan hit his left knee on the curb hard, suffering a torn MCL and an ACL sprain. That actually stinks pretty hard core, as he has to take a break from training and competing. Luckily it’s the Winter Olympics that are coming up and not the Summer ones!

Ryan, you might be dumb as a box of straw, but I will be happy to nurse you back to health!

Tiger Woods Certainly Has a Type

Do you ever wake up in the morning and say to yourself, “I should not know this.”

For example . . .

I should not know that Kanye wants to GET HOME NOW.

Kim Kardashian new mom

Never gets old!

Never gets old!

I should not know that Jon Hamm packs heat ALL THE TIME.

Maybe Jon Hamm is his role model. A girl can dream!

Oh hello.

And I should not know the name of Tiger Woods’ girlfriend from 2000.

She's a blonde. What a shock!

Joanna Jagoda.

Yup, I know that. It’s a fact I carry around in my head all the time. I can’t get rid of it even if I try. IT’S ALWAYS THERE.

That said, it got me thinking. Tiger certainly has a type, at least for the women he publicly acknowledges he dates/bangs. They’re all blonde and beautiful!

His mistresses, however, can be brunette, like diner waitress Mindy Lawton.

His mistresses, however, can be brunette, like diner waitress Mindy Lawton.

For example, we have Joanna, who you saw above.

We also have his ex-wife Elin Nordegren, who was publicly humiliated by that douche in a big way but has emerged a class act. A really rich class act-she reportedly scored a $100 million settlement from Tiger after their divorce.

I don't get it either.

I don’t get it either.

Tiger’s latest piece is Olympic skiier Lindsey Vonn who is, surprise, a blonde.

So exotic looking.

So exotic looking.

Why anyone would want to date him is beyond me. Yeah, I get that he’s rich and famous, but Lindsey is accomplished in her own right.

In an interview with Katie Couric, Lindsey explains it all. Tiger’s funny, y’all. He’s “dorky-goofy,” y’all.

 

Unless that’s code for “bangs lots of busted women who are not his wife,” I’m going to take Lindsey’s description with a SLIGHT grain of salt.

Love is Over

I know I’ve been kind of quiet the past few days. It should be a time of happiness for me, what with the Red Sox winning the World Series and Murder, She Wrote returning to my TV, though sans Angela Lansbury.

Eat your heart out Jane Fonda!

Team Jessica Fletcher for life!

Instead, I’ve been in tears. Tears I tell you. Because I found out perhaps the worst news possible in the WORLD.

What, is Kim Kardashian going to stop posting selfies???

Done!

So modest, this one.

NOPE. This is FAR worse.

Child bride Courtney Stodden, 19, has reportedly split from her actor husband of two years, Lost alum Doug Hutchinson, 53.

19 on the inside, 48-year-old Vegas cocktail waitress on the outside.

Body of a 19-year-old, face of a 48-year-old Vegas cocktail waitress.

Color me SHOCKED. I really thought these two were going to make it, as evident in this interview they did shortly after they got married. It’s a little long but totally worth watching, though you will be left with so many questions on how a love so pure and pristine could go so wrong.

I am Faster Than Pamela Anderson

I’m not trying to brag, but I am faster than Pamela Anderson.

Not on the beach though.

Not on the beach though.

Pamela Anderson ran the New York City Marathon yesterday, finishing in a time of 5:41:03. That’s 5 hours, 41 minutes, and 3 seconds for all those people who can’t tell time. Because I am a catty bitch, I looked up her splits on the New York Road Runners website, and home girl started off at a respectable pace, around 10 minutes per mile, but then she slowed down quite a bit after the half marathon mark, averaging a 13:02 pace overall.

I ran the NYC Marathon in 2010 and 2011, and completed the 26.2 mile course in 4:53:27 and 4:56:46, respectively. I’m no Kenyan, but I’m still faster than America’s favorite Canadian (that would be Pam, people).

I wondered why people were calling me Jay-Z . . . .

I wondered why people were calling me Jay-Z . . . .

To be fair, I have a much lighter load to carry up front.

At any rate, great job Pam! I still love you!
