Flotsam & Jetsam

Harry Potter Wizards Dream Of Gossip Girl

Harry Potter and Gossip Girl finally meet in the middle, Jon Gosselin wants to capitalise on the worst fashion trend in the History of the Universe, Robert Pattinson’s good in bed, Jim Carry’s a scary grandparent, and celebrity DUI time!

  • If the cast of Harry Potter could hook up with anyone, two out of three respondents went with Gossip Girl cast members: Daniel Radcliffe to Blake Liveley, Emma Watson to Ed Westwick. Rupert Grint struggled to come up with an answer and just went with Jessica Alba. Weak. [E!]

  • Jon Gosselin is meeting in St. Tropez, France, with Christian Audigier, the uberdouche behind the embarrassment to fashion as well as the idea of anything having any kind of aesthetic whatsoever, Ed Hardy. He might be getting a job with Audigier. For those who haven’t been blinded by them yet, they’re shirts with rhinestones on them that sometimes have these slits in them and, jesus, I don’t even know, they’re just so fugly it’s far beyond my mental capacity to understand how this is now a multi-million dollar business. Remember Von Dutch? It’s like this to the nth degree. Yes, I would rather have a crying eagle draped in a neon flag while peeing in my eye tattooed to my face than wear one of those shirts (and no, you may NOT use that idea, Audigier). Anyway: Jon Goeeslin’s a fan of the brand because he’s been seen in the shirts, before. [TMZ]
  • Haley Joel Osment would like you all to stop making I SEE DEAD PPL jokes, now. Meanwhile, he’s throwing the mack down on girls in the subway. So if he isn’t seeing dead people, at least he’s seeing game. And game recognise game. (?) [TMZ]
  • Kristen Stewart laughs off rumours of her and Robert Pattinson being pregnant. Things she shouldn’t laugh off: the dangerously insane teenage Twilight fans who’d rather see her replaced with a cardboard box. Honestly, I kind of hope she is preggers with his vampire baby, because it’d be a great looking kid, and Twilight fans need to go away. Vampire fetishisizing is for 42 year-old oversized goths, and it should stay that way. [NYDN]
  • You know how your grandfather would make funny faces at you as a kid, and sometimes they’d be funny, and sometimes you’d be like, stop it, old man, you’re freaking me the fuck out. Well, imagine if your grandfather was Jim Carrey. Exactly. His 21 year-old daughter Jane is preggers with her husband, fellow musician Alex Santana (important detail: “(Alex is) known as “Nitro” in his rock group, Blood Money.”). Meanwhile, Jim’s still dating Jenny McCarthy, and the two of them must make the weirdest faces at each other in bed. Do not want. [NYDN]
  • Rachel Ray had vocal chord surgery, and this is one of those things were the joke writes itself, but you don’t even want to make it. In this Kangaroo Court, there are far worse grievances against humanity than maybe sometimes sounding annoying while patiently teaching you how to cook better, because you’re a moron and don’t know an egg beater from a spork. Also, this is sad, ’cause her voice had this strangely sexy Kathleen Turner-when-she-was-hot raspiness to it. Get better, crazy cake lady. [People]
  • Artie Lange got a DUI. Shocker. He rear-ended someone while drunk. I’m sure he’d turn that into a really shitty joke. But this is great: “”He was extremely cooperative,” said Capt. Steven Henry. “He was a gentleman.”" Love that Artie Lange is probably so familiar with the procedure of a DUI, he probably practically did it for the cop. “This is how you cuff me, my wrists fit this way,” etc. Lange was last seen in a hysterical, amazing appearance on the first episode of Joe Buck’s new HBO show. Said appearance got him banned from HBO Sports for life. [Page Six]
  • I’m sorry, can we just say it, though? Lady Gaga is a fucking mouthbreather. And when she’s not using it to breathe, she’s using it to say ridiculous shit like this: “I’ve gone bankrupt about four times now. My manager wants to shoot me. Every dollar I earn goes on the show. Now we’re finally getting to a place where it’s not bankruptcy. Then again, with another tour coming up soon I’ll probably be homeless again.” Also, please click on the link so you can look at the picture of how my mind feels about Lady Gaga. Seriously. [Showbiz Spy]
  • Robert Pattinson is “amazing in bed.” Naturally. I don’t doubt this for a moment. Thank you, Robert Pattinson, for making the rest of us feel like their sex lives aren’t yours. [Showbiz Spy]
  • Justin Timberlake is creating a scent. Besides smelling nice, it will be funnier, more chaming, nicer, come from more humble backgrounds, sing, dance, talk, listen, knit, and play backgammon better than you ever have or will. Also, it will smell like Saturday Night Live at least nine times a year. [E!]
  • Lauren Conrad’s book has been on the New York Times‘ bestseller list for two weeks, now. Aspiring novelists, this makes you feel how? Inspired? Insipid? Funky fresh? [People]
  • Rupert Grint and Emma Watson felt pressure to get their kiss in the new Harry Potter movie right. Emma Watson’s going to school at Columbia or Brown, and reports have gone both ways, and I can’t even handle Emma Watson going to school in New York because this city absolutely needs more magic and with her exquisite knowledge of magic things should get better for everyone, especially those pricks on 116th. Things will be magical for everyone! Anyway, Daniel Radcliffe also gets a kiss in the new movie with Ginny Weasley, Sister of Ron, and – oh, yeah, sorry: spoiler alert – and gave a wire reporter an awesome quote about it: “I saw the film again a couple of nights ago at the premiere and … my God, my lips are like the lips of a horse, kind of distending independently away from my face and trying to encompass the lower half of hers.” Yeah, still get that feeling sometime. Lesson: none of us are Robert Pattinson. [Reuters]
  • Maura Tierney’s going away for eight weeks. Sad, scary, if only because of the ominous nature that her publicist is playing off the way she’s probably going to some kind of rehab (an “eight week medical evaluation”). [E!]
  • Jennifer Anniston personally paid for her entire crew to have an extra day off for the July 4th holiday. Nice. [People]

    Jon's big as a house!
  • contradicto
    I don't get Lady Gaga's shtick at all. I'd think she be more revolutionary if she just put on some normal clothes and showed the world her muppet face.

    The only thing that is redeemable about her is that everytime I see her, I hate Perez Hilton just a little bit more.
  • NinaHagen
    I saw someone with Ed Hardy Ugg sheepskin boots this AM. Besides it being JULY for God's sake, they had that Ed Hardy je ne sais quoi. I had to buy Tums.
  • lobstr
    Artie Lange probably charmed the cop by offering some of the Chicken Parm he keeps on reserve on his dashboard.
  • lobstr
    If I saw Haley Joel Osment in the subway, I would ask him if he could see Vincent Schiavelli's character from Ghost. A double-pop-culture-reference... ka-pow!
  • Fletch(er)
    I first learned about Ed Hardy through "Rock of Love." Bert Michaels loves that shit, as do his skanky ladies. Why anyone would consider that to be an aspirational brand is well beyond me.

    Bert Michaels: fashion icon.

    I first read that as "Jon Gosselin meeting ...with Christina Aguilera," and thought "Why?" And "Oh my God, she'll destroy him!" And "Fun!" And again "Why??" all at the same time.

    @maude_flanders: And he was great in Extras, and showed he can just completely poke fun at himself, too. He's a good kid, I'm with you on hoping the movie does well (as I assume it will). For some reason, I'm not that into seeing it in the theaters, but every single person I know already went, like, twice.
  • TallulahSkankhead
    Godspeed, Lisa Miller. I wondered if something was up with Maura at the end of this video, when, after talking about her divorce, she tells Dave Foley she has to go start drinking.

    (Not that there's anything wrong with that--if I went through a divorce I would probably rent an apartment above a liquor store, Patsy Stone-style.)

    "I saw the film again a couple of nights ago at the premiere and ... my God, my lips are like the lips of a horse..."

    All right, kid, we saw all of you in Equus already.

    "I saw the film again a couple of nights ago at the premiere and ... my God, my lips are like the lips of a horse, kind of distending independently away from my face and trying to encompass the lower half of hers."

    On every talk show he's on, he is a joy of a guest (yes, I'm going to use the word "joy"...I don't think it's exaggerating) and his articulateness only makes him more attractive, even if he's just poetically described what an all-over-the-place, sloppy kisser he seems to be.

    The reviews for this movie are good...hope this is summer 2009's Dark Knight.

    Man those Harry Potter kids. I hope Emma goes to Columbia just so I get get the gawker stalker reports.

    Also, I wonder what Christian Audigier will fuck up next..
  • Dickdogfood
    Re Lady Gaga: Man, nobody was ever that '80s in the '80s. It's like she got a dealer to supply her with some pure, uncut '80s, and she better watch out because you can totally get fucked up on that shit.
  • unclevanya
    I have to stand by my girl Maura Tierney. She's every boozy, bitchy cigarette-sneaking fruitfly-in-training that I went to Catholic school with. She's the lemon in my Diet Coke. Get well girl, but not so well that we can't do an Irish pub/piano bar crawl someday.

    @cmd: oh my fucking god I hate Sandra fucking Lee so fucking much.

    Also that cake makes me want to die and throw up, in that order.

    Wow. At first glance, I thought that pic of Jon Gosselin was Bret Michaels without his clip-on hair/bandana combo.

    @cmd: I've seen a lot of double posting YouTube clips in comments. Not sure what's going on or what's confusing people, but if you see your video show up twice, go back and delete one of the embed codes.
  • aLostLady
    @NinaHagen: Foster said it best with "deadrags of mid-life crisis desperation." They're the slightly less rebellious equivalent of a red convertible, hoop earring, and cheating on your wife after age 55.
  • Conchie Birdie
    The 'news' of dbag J.Gosselin + the actual pic of him in an Ed Hardy shirt = made my Saturday. Thanks.
  • HowDareThey
    Christian Audigier has his own private label Ed Hardy Champagne. It's a blanc de blanc specifically, and while not bad, it's still pretty ridiculous. I was recently laid off by a bar who served this to its clientele.

    Sorry, Rachel Ray is no crazy cake lady. The woman refuses to measure anything, ever, so baking is out of the picture. The title of Crazy Cake Lady rightfully belongs to Sandra Lee and her repulsive Kwanzaa cake. Who knew baking could be offensive!

    @contradicto: Whatever it tastes like, I'm sure Rocco DiSpirito will be shilling for it.

    R. Pattinson and K. Stewart would produce beautiful children? I'm not so sure. Using the power of modern technology, we've deduced that their child would look like this

    "Justin Timberlake is creating a scent."

    Will it come in a box? ;-)

    @overunderover: It's a trend that's infecting the globe. They just opened up an Ed Hardy superstore in the Dubai mall (I'm stuck working over here in the middle of July. Awesome.) - I'm just waiting to see some woman walking down the street in an Ed Hardy rhinestone abaya.
  • anyonecanwhistle
    go, Jen!
    hold it, Justin! even Avril Lavigne has "created" a scent, whatever.
    Is Alex 'Nitro' Santana related to Carlos? I guess you would have said so in your post... but it would make the baby-genes-theorizing more fun: hello, Black Magic Pet Detective Baby, etc.

  • overunderover
    @NinaHagen: True story - someone I saw: Ed hardy shirt (skin tight), Ed Hardy hat, Ed Hardy friggen sneakers, and True Religion pre-cut denim shorts. This was on the subway platform, and part of me really wanted to just..... ok, I'll behave.
  • contradicto
    @Foster Kamer: I'm imagining it tastes like the vomit of LA douchbags fermented with the energy drink du jour.

    @cmd: This is the kind of cooking show that would appeal mainly to that certain type of WASPy Midwestern housewife who spends the majority of her waking hours in a haze of anxiolytics and crying fits in her exurban Ohioan McMansion. Let me go ahead and hazard a guess that it's on at one o'clock in the afternoon on weekdays.

    @lobstr: Can you have him ask Vinny to go tell Harvey to call me. Harvey's been mad at me ever since the bubble gum incident. Sigh. I need a lollipop now.
