quote of the day

That's
Vanessa Hudgens, star of Disney's
High School Musical,
explaining to GQ how the entertainment industry works. Another truth: 19-year-old starlets sell copies of magazines for middle-aged men, particularly when packaged with these photographs and the headline High School Lolita. Incidentally, these photos will spread to fan sites frequented by Hudgens' main fan base, pre-pubescent girls, so passing on this wisdom to a new generation. And, before taking Hudgens' quote as the shallow babbling of a fame-drunk teenager, stop to think: it's also entirely true.

- London tabloid Daily Mail snickered at Kate Moss' bony knees during Moss' night on the town with her rocker boyfriend, but what about the frightening shot of her face at left? The tab writes, under that photo, "Kate's hard-partying ways are beginning to show on the world beauty." Or maybe it's just the tint on the limo glass? [Mail]
- Britney Spears was not allowed to go to the bathroom alone, call anyone or touch the mail, but she was allowed to order something called a "lobster burger."

work this out
If by "hot" you mean "not even midly arousing" and by "lesbian" you mean "the tongue of the High School Musical co-star in slight proximity to the tongue of another woman." I've seen better girl-on-girl action in the pages of Foreign Policy, and, yes, I am talking about a debate between Jeane Kirkpatrick and Madeleine Albright over the role of the United Nations' Secretary General. DISAPPOINTING.
