Bruce Jenner – Holy $hit!
I can’t think of a bigger pop cultural earthquake than this whole Bruce Jenner thing. I think my apoplexy is clear just from the title of this post – doesn’t that statement sum it up for most of us?! Regardless of what side you come down on this subject, the initial reports that the […]
Dr. Fredric Brandt: In memoriam
Dr. Fredric Brandt, a dermatologist to the stars, was recently found deceased in his Miami apartment from suspected suicide. I didn’t know Dr. Brandt.

Is Jenny McCarthy embarrassed?
As discussed in this NY Times article, there are now 59 confirmed cases in California of the totally-avoidable-with-a-vaccine viral illness measles.

Plastic Surgery Golden Globes 2015
I’m warning you now, it wasn’t the juiciest Golden Globes this year in regards to bad plastic surgery but there are a few tidbits worth mentioning.
