Socialism 101….McCain waits til NOW to say it?

By the Diva

McCain should  have used the S word a long time ago. Sure Obama says he’ll cut taxes — just not for people who are successful. What about people who don’t pay taxes? So, he’ll just cut them a check for being LOSERS? We thought welfare reform was something agreed upon long ago — and is working, at least somewhat.

Republicans ought to be a lot madder than they are. Shocking the malaise.

Socialism, marxism even…..Watch how many corporations take their business overseas because of this tax scheme.

We are moving into our closet where it’s pretty and happy and not dreadful. Obamaland scares us. It really does. Joe the plumber ought to be scared as hell, too.

Sickened by the election, we turn to fashion (whew)

By the Diva

You know whose style we love. Kate Middleton, Prince William’s English rose slampiece. She gets it right a lot. So naturally pretty and real looking. We bet he closes this deal. We hope so. We can’t wait to watch the wedding. Those royals still know how to throw a party.

There is a cool story about her in this month’s Vanity Fair. That mag lost us for a time but we are squarely back and loving it. You should check it out.

Travis Barker is out of the burn unit and home. We hope he continues to heal on all levels. We wish he and Shanna could reunite. We are nothing if not a romantic. Bahahahahahahaaaaaa.

If Jen Aniston hooks up again with John Mayer she has poor judgment. Mayer is a 30-something boy and we aren’t impressed. All we’re sayin’…..

We thought Obama and McCain were truly funny at the Al Smith hoopty dinner last nite in New York. Have ya seen the video? McCain made Hillary laugh really hard. Now that’s something. Watch em.

We probably will see the film “W.” Even though we are not a Bush-hater like most everyone.

Let us start the countdown clock now on Madonna and A-Rod and their first public appearance. After the legal eagles have carved up her fortune and the kiddies.

Man, if Brangelina split, that would be one fearsome custody battle, no?

Maureen Orth is the best journalist working, to our mind.

Martha Stewart has a brindled French bulldog named Francesca Blackbird, which is the sweetest name ever. He’s in Vanity Fair, too.

We are starting to think you get better service and treatment on Greyhound versus any airline. The help is pathetic. No wonder they are all falling into bankruptcy.

What if this election is a lot closer than we think?

By the Diva

We have seen so much poll data lately and one thing we can’t reconcile is that there are vast differences for support in this presidential election?

We know polling is a dicey thing…. but what if this election was really two points apart among likely voters as a new poll is suggesting. That is within the polling margin of error. 

Our pals have been asking and now we are wondering. Perhaps this is not shaping up to be the Obama runaway victory that many suspect? It depends on who goes out and votes if you take into account the demographic breakdown of support for Obama and McCain.

That would be the shocker of the decade, no?

We have an odd feeling that something is abrew.

Verklempt: Our queen, Madonna, is divorcing

By the Diva

Oy, Madge……so it didn’t work out. We’re not surprised. Not many men in this world can live up to your creative force. Yes, you’re tough, but you’re also fab. We figured this would happen eventually. Guy Ritchie’s star is falling, you keep reinventing yourself to international acclaim. He’s baggage. You need to pick another cute guy to live with but bag the whole marriage crap. You need companionship but without all the heartache.

Hold onto the money, sister. You need Sir Paul McCartney’s attorney. A serious fortune is at stake and you need to protect yourself if this turns nasty.

We hope you are ok. We’ll have to take a little down time to cope. We’ll also need an adult beverage straightaway. First you announce your split. And then Nancy Reagan is hospitalized. It’s been a dark diva day.

Galpal Janelle’s birthday — in celebration of moms

By the Diva

Today our esteemed diva posse galpal Janelle has a birthday. We honor her because she is not only an exemplary person, but also a five-star mom. She is one of those girls who manages to juggle everything beautifully. Three kids, all gorgeously turned out, smart, well-mannered and curious. A husband who loves them all. Wonderful Christian home on the Texas hill country.

Oh, did we mention she’s like a size 2 with a smashing haircut and a master’s degree and well…..the list of attributes goes on and on. She can kick your ass in the kitchen and write like a pro, too.

You don’t get any more divalicious than her. She puts us all to shame.

Worst campaign strategy ever (PS: Fight back)

By the Diva

This whole political deal is keeping us away from what we do best: shop and gossip.

But HELLO……..GOP is starting to stand for Goofy Old Party. The McCain campaign is just dreadful. While our Sarah is making ‘em sweat and holding their feet to the fire, the top of the ticket seemingly is doing NADA. 

Didya notice how many of those ACORN groups are now in trouble for fraudulent voter registration? Do ya think they are out there registering Republicans? No, they are NOT. And so……why in the hell isn’t McCain on the warpath, calling Obama out for his connection to ACORN. 

He may be a retired military dude — and we respect his sacrifice — he needs to get some Marine-ass stones and GO OFF. Ya wanna be president? Ya gotta fight for hit, dude.

We are shocked at how terribly this one has been run. We really are. At this point Palin should be at the top of the ticket because at least she has some energy. What is McCain waiting for, cause he’s behind more every day and it ain’t all due to the economy.

We must hurry off to the mall now…..to take the edge off.

Too busy for TV — how is this possible, you ask?

By the Diva

We are so divaliciously busy, we have roots. ROOTS. No time to get to the salon for a quick fix either.

Still, we are delighted to see so many bona fide movie stars on television these days. Harvey Keitel is suitably insane on “Life on Mars.” Still totally crazy after all these years. Christian Slater, another of our favorite insane actors posse members, is back on “My Own Worst Enemy,” which kinda sounds like a biopic for him. Angela Bassett, who is far too good for the small screen, is now a top doc on “ER,” while Selma Blair is giving up the yucks with former-SNL star Molly Shannon on “Kath & Kim,” among many others.

We should be into the new “Desperate Housewives” but we aren’t. It just isn’t hitting us, although we are eager to see a new episode of “Lipstick Jungle,” by far our fave.

We hear Janet Jackson and Madonna may soon be living in Miami. Madge is gonna work on a new record with her former junior collaborator Justin Timberlake. Janet and her boy Jermaine Dupri visit Miami often and dig the area. A host of others make homes there including Missy Elliott and Diddy. We can totally understand the appeal. SOBE is as rockin’ as ever. If you go, visit the Standard Hotel. They have bathtubs on outdoor terraces to their rooms. So sexy, taking a bath outdoors. And the pool atmosphere is unmatched. Very Euro and fun.

We are considering a winter vacation to the Virgin Islands and a stay at Caneel Bay, the resort on St. John. If there is a nicer place, please tell us. Cause this is beyond peaceful and gorgeous in an old-school way.

In other news, it’s not cool to call things “gay” when you think they are bad. This from a new public relations campaign featuring a ton of celebs including Hillary Duff. Memba her?  What does she do for a living? We forgot. And has that Mischa Barton acted at all lately? She is also one of the Young Hollywooders who are kinda career MIA.

We think Hugh Hefner ought to rethink his relationship with Holly. He’s no spring chicken and strangely, we thought she really loved him. We know she wants kids and a marriage. Why does he balk? We think he’s making a huge mistake. Even for him and his playboy reputation, the bimbo parade is kinda tired. Go get her Hef and make her an honest woman before you have a stroke and are in the nursing home. Seriously.

It’s leadership, you morons……

By the Diva

We hate to be all political and stuff, but really. Somebody running for president has to step it up and….lead. You wanna win the election?  Well, act like a president and show us what you’ve got. Attacking someone by association isn’t the answer. And neither is attaching a candidate to the failures of Bush a good enough smokescreen for no new ideas.

On the economy, which one of these ass clowns has provided any comprehensive ideas on how we fix the mess? NEITHER. Didya see the debate? ZZZZZZZ. Hell, at this point, we’d love it if one of em just trotted out Mike Bloomberg or someone else who gets it to set it straight. Donald Trump, line 1? Mitt Romney, can we get a hand here?

Surely there are some financial titans with a stake in their future who’d share a gameplan with one of these frontrunners — who seemingly don’t have a clue.

We are underwhelmed, with both. These guys are the lamest candidates in memory. The country is in shambles and this is all we get? This will be four more years of crap with our nation in the crapper. Just you wait.

 

AS IF.

Stop calling us “my friends” and other debate musings

By the Diva

Easy on the “my friends” admonition, because it makes you sound like a creepy grandpa. Just a word of knowledge for John McCain. 

Otherwise, we think the GOP nominee did a decent job in the debate, better than we expected, but not nearly forceful enough to score votes. America wants a leader with balls. Seize the day, make us feel led! You want to defeat this cult of personality. TAKE EFFIN CHARGE.

The more debates we have, the more we disagree with Sen. Obama, so at least they are doing something to crystalize our well-informed diva opinion. Nothing against Obama, but his foreign policy is insanely naive. His command of finance is also dim. We need Donald Trump and a couple other folks out there to analyze his policies. We can only imagine what they’d say.

Obama looks good, tho, an attractive young man but too youngish to make us respect him on the issues. And if he wins, we hope he’s a fast learner and we also hope he surrounds himself with people who know better (and more than Joe Biden).

McCain should be meaner, ya know. Cause it’s down to just a few weeks before the election and it’s time to stop being so statesman and time to start making sharper differences. He is right about Putin. That dude is lining up with Chavez and other world kooks. He is up to no good. Obama doesn’t understand Russia all at and he’s tap dancing around his deficiencies in global knowledge. SCARY.

We feel so wonky. We need bigger hair and higher shoes. Something to distance us from those know-it-alls in Washington.

Ah, yes…a solution. After the debate is over we’ll go shopping for girl stuff online to take the policy edge off.

Go get em Sarah……..

By the Diva

Kick some Democratic ass!!!!!!! Make Biden look like a stodgy DC insider with a bad comb-over.

Or better yet, just don’t give your detractors — and that smirky Tina Fey — any more (unfair) ammunition.

We wanna be like Rachel Z

By the Diva

Ah, if we all had the moxie of Rachel Zoe. Sure, some of her self-absorbed whining gets to us, but she works in Hollywood. Considering who her clients are, and her industry, we could understand. Still, she has this bravado with her employees that says “get your crap together because I’m busy ruling the world.”

If only we could carry ourselves this way in the business world. Such confidence. We can see why she’s rich and sought-after because her vision is super-clear. We wanna be more like Rachel. (But we do think she could use a bit of facial filler, a little Restylane around the nasal folds. She’s thin, but getting droopy. And the docs can totally fix that.)

In other news, Kim Kardashian has been bounced from DWTS. No surprise. She wasn’t the worst dancer but we suspect viewers have Kim fatigue, in that “what is SHE famous for other than being pretty?” She is lovely, yes, but she can’t shake her booty much, given its size and scope.

We’d be lyin’ if we said we can’t wait for the Sarah Palin-Joe Biden debate. Our money is on the sister to do way better than folks (and haters) expect.

xoxo
