Paris Hilton packed up an army of Louis Vuitton luggage for her trip to South Africa for the World Cup. One would assume that lingerie, condoms, marijuana (scratch that one) and a night vision camera wouldn't take up so much room, but who am I to make that call?

My DVR just exploded...Project Runway is back on July 29th, at 9 p.m. on Thursdays and now with an extra 30 minutes of sewing-scissor-back-stabbing!! Podcasts are going to need a time-adjustment in order to fit in all the extra recapping. Stephen, the podcast time-nazi, is going to be sew mad. Get it?

If there is one thing I have always wanted, that has really held me back from getting that Range Rover I have always wanted, it's that there wasn't a former Spice Girl designing the interior. Thank God, Tata Motors* has filled this void in the luxury SUV world with the poshest of all the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham's mad automotive skills.

*Not kidding.... real thing, Wikipedia says so.

I love a good Lindsay Lohan story, specifically one in which she gets punched by a waitress, on her birthday AND THEN runs into that waitress again at the next club. Know what I love even more than our precious Lilo getting punched in the face? Courtroom tearfests courtesy of a judge actually requiring her to abide by the law or serve prison time *gasp* like a commoner!! The horror of it all! Good luck in the slammer, Lindsay, that waitress was just toughening you up for some real prison-style cafeteria punches.

Much like Menudo, Spiderman has an age limit, and Tobey Maguire's geriatric 36 years have pushed him past the limit. British cutie-pie, Andrew Garfield (adorbs name, I know) will be tagging in as Peter Parker in the fourth installment of the Spidey saga. I'd scale walls with him anytime.

US Weekly, my favorite source for the most exciting headlines and incredibly in-depth and probing journalism, has asked the riveting question: What's in a Name? Nicole Kidman's Daughter, Sunday Rose. The article is long and boring. The answer is simple, Emo Band Name Generator.
