Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.
I know Drew Barrymore did this RIDICULOUS skunky black-tipped two-tone dye job a good few days ago at a press event for her new film, Whip It, at the Toronto Film Festival, but it's taken me about that long to let it sink in. Thankfully Drew stopped celebrating Halloween in September and returned to 100% blond -- and not just 75% -- for the Emmys this past Sunday. Which is good, because Drew's feather duster disaster was even worse than her Tippi Hedren hair at the 2009 Golden Globes.
This clip from the MTV Vault is so cute that it makes Teletubbies look like a horror movie and Macaulay Culkin look like Angela Lansbury. Oh wait, Angela Lansbury is actually super cute. Never mind that one.
In what I assume is an impromptu ad for a 1983 Become-An-MTV-VJ-Contest, human bunny rabbit / kitty cat Martha Quinn interviews a chubby-mini-naughty-baby Drew Barrymore, who is appropriately dressed in polka dots and prom hair. Quinn -- in her pixie cut, button nose and cardigan -- out-adorables Mr. Rogers' whole Neighborhood Of Make-Believe. Drew Barrymore is actually a Peep that came to life. Oh, and she's a Duran Duran fan.
Seriously, get ready to mush your cheeks, half-cover your eyes and say "eeeeeeeee." This is insane. It's too much. That Downy Bear better start looking for a new job.
+ FINALLY! After being shelved multiple times, Keri Hilson's new album. In a Perfect World is set to drop on March 24th. Special K's lookin' hot-to-def on the album cover, as usual. (Neon Limelight)
+ Just a few questions for you this Friday afternoon: Does Kristen Stewart wash her hair? Can her friends recommend a better stylist? DOES SHE KNOW SHE'S STANDING IN A STEAMING HOT MEATBALL SUB THAT IS ROBERT PATTINSON AND TAYLOR LAUTNER?????? Maybe she needs lasik. (PopSugar)
+ Imagine being on stage in six-inch heels and having Rachael Ray spewing at you like a broken sewer main, telling you how attractive you are. This is a recurring dream of mine. And it really happened to Justin Tranter of Semi Precious Weapons. (Page Six)
+ MGMT is laying the smack down on music stealer French President Nicolas Sarkozy for using their song "Kids" in online videos and elsewhere, without permish. What a loser... (E! Online)
+ If performing is therapy, then she must have maxed out her copay! Jennifer Hudson visited Oprah and let everyone know she's "in a very good place." We're pullin' for you, lady. (People)
When you think depressing, lovelorn lyrics and melancholy Regina Spektor-y lullabies, the words "romantic comedy" don't necessarily come to mind. Fortunately for sensual songstress Erin McCarley, soul-crushing rejection just happens to be the basis for information age-y new flick, He's Just Not That Into You.
Check out McCarley's new video, "Love, Save The Empty," and watch for scenes from the SATC-inspired film, where gorgeous Hollywood stars (like Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore) pretend to be hopelessly undateable. Sure, it's momentarily jarring, unrealistic, and borderline offensive. But one look at Jennifer Aniston and, suddenly, it all makes sense.
After countless boxy bustlines and boring black basics, Miley Cyrus OWNED the Golden Globes red carpet in her spot-on white Marchesa dress with gold accents, dewy makeup, and natural ringlets, providing the perfect foil for DREW BARRYMORE, who looked like she...
a.) Mistook her Golden Globes invite for a Carrie costume party,
b.) Fell over drunk in a bathtub,
c.) Passed out in the limo ride over to the Beverly Wilshire,
d.) Then suffered additional Tippi Hedren-levels of misfortune when giant crows set up shop in her hair.
If you didn't see the Golden Globes, believe me when I tell you that the usually gorgeous Drew was even more retina-scorching in HD, especially next to picture-perfect Miley.
My Cy, perhaps you could teach Drew a few, if not "7 Things" about getting it right on the red carpet. (And also maybe you could ask your dad when he plans on putting those flat-ironed highlights to bed? They almost make me miss that mullet.)
