Fugs and Pieces: Friday, Oct. 9


fugs-and-pieces

Now that the work week is winding down, and we’re all desperately searching for procrastinatory material to get us through until quittin’ time, here’s a roundup of stuff we’ve been checking out on the Web this week.

– Why is Shiloh Jolie-Pitt dressed like Joel Madden? Maybe all the Jolie-Pitt kids will be OTHER CELEBS this Halloween. That would be kind of hilarious. I want to see Maddox in costume as Madonna. (JustJared)

– Beyonce told Oprah’s magazine that Kanye, with his VMAs outburst, was defending art. In other words, she just totally picked at a scab that had mostly healed, AND has managed to come off like she’s ALSO dissing Taylor Swift’s video. JUST STOP TALKING, YOU GUYS. (UsMagazine.com)

The Book of Genesis, according to Tyra (who else?). Hilarious. (Lyrical Malarky)

– Author Meg Cabot took us right back to our childhood in this Wall Street Journal piece about the Betsy-Tacy books. And Tib. Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten you, Tib. I wish HarperCollins would republish those.

– According to LAist, Ellen Page is writing a series for HBO about two girls who move from Williamsburg to Silver Lake to become “artists.” As one of their commenters aptly noted, this sounds like a story from The Onion. HIPSTER OVERLOAD.

– Generally, Nancy Grace is not our particular cup of java, but we have to offer a laurel and hearty handshake to anyone who delivers a smackdown to Jon Gosselin. (Jezebel)

– Bonus points if you ID’d the Blazing Saddles quote in the previous blurb.

– In other Gosselin news, E!’s Answer Bitch contemplates how best to make him go away forever. We can only pray that he read it.

– We’re terribly sad that Intern George hasn’t flown us to Paris Fashion Week to watch all the ornate collections come down the runway; fortunately, we have Harper’s Bazaar to pick out the Top 100 things from the catwalk.

– Roisin Murphy cracks us up — and also might be cream-filled. (Style.com)

This might be the cutest kid ever. Watch your back, Kurt Russell. If they make Miracle II:  Getting Together To Watch The Game From The First Movie, you might have to reaudition for your own part.

– OH HELL YES. Joan Collins is appearing in a new television special in which she gives three women makeovers. PLEASE AIR IN THE US. (SF Gate)
