Michele Bachmann, it will not shock you to learn, is the first Republican candidate to sign a pledge to be the most socially conservative candidate to walk the plains of Iowa. The document itself is a thing of beauty. More »
Kate Middleton has never stepped out in some Gaga-esque getup, yet she’s managed to stir up an international controversy over her attire. The Duchess’ fashion choices are purposely conservative, but now many are complaining that her fondness for nude pantyhose is hopelessly old fashioned. More »
Well. Normally I’d not bat an eye at Nadya Suleman appearing on the Today Show – this is, after all, the program that interviews the Duggars every time they’ve been infected with another pregnancy – but this morning’s segment was so positively insane that it really is worth noting. She of the gargantuan womb was in-studio with her 2½-year-old octuplets, who really are gorgeous, and one of the other kids (the poor dears really will be known as “the other ones” for most of their lives). And I’ll be damned if the woman wasn’t on speed. Granted, you certainly need to be jacked up on something to handle fourteen kids. More »
Welcome back to Midweek Madness, in which we pick at the plates full of gossip served up by Ok!, In Touch, Star, Us and Life & Style.

Maybe you’re one of the internet-savvy folks who have seen one of those ubiquitous “tiny belly” ads but never bothered to click one. You sensed that the “weird tip” was probably bullshit.

Former To Catch A Predator host Chris Hansen has allegedly sent a woman who is not his wife photos of himself nude in a bathrobe, grabbing his genitals. Anthony Weiner will be pleased to know his name has been slapped on all such practices. More »
After fifteen years at Christian Dior, John Galliano was fired for inveterate alcoholism and being rather racist this spring. While Galliano fights a court case, Dior has dragged its feet in replacing him. So the brand went ahead with a couture show in Paris yesterday without a new designer. The pieces in the collection ranged from brightly colored to very sparkly to extremely ruffled, with no apparent theme. More »
Ever have a moment of acute designer covetousness that coincides with the realization that you have, like, $67.16 to last you through your next paycheck? The things we see on the runway and in magazines might as well for most of us exist in another universe: but if you consume designer collections more with your mind’s eye than with your wallet, and you have some basic crafting skills, making your own at-home versions isn’t always too hard. Last week, I took an idea Prada had — making handbags out of knitted leather — and translated it into a purse of my own. If you can knit, you can knit this bag. More »
I Didn’t Know I Was Pregnant is always weird and gross and kind of unbelievable—especially, now, as a pregnant person, it seems inconceivable to me that there would be enough women in the world who didn’t know they were pregnant to warrant a television series—but on last night’s episode, things got even weirder and grosser.
