It would probably be a good thing if GOP nominee wife Cindy McCain didn’t wear any more leather.

It looks dated and not very chic, kind of like someone wanting to look young. With the age-inappropriate Barbie hair, the leather is just over the top.

Great body. A very beautiful and hard-working lady who hasn’t gotten enough credit for her business moxie and charitable generosity, but she’s off the tracks fashionwise. We’re sure it’s designer and expensive, but it’s a little too Spiegel catalogue/new money-Jersey housewife for us. 

MEOW

Check out the latest Gallup presidential poll. We know they always tighten close to election day, but still.

John McCain isn’t trailing by that much. We wonder what the actual turnout will be. We expected a landslide for the Democrats but in the presidential race, it could be closer than we are hearing in the press.

We have a serious celebrity love jones for Daniel Craig, who now plays James Bond. He’s oddly attractive and not so conventional. We always dig the weird ones best.

Apparently the suspect in the Jennifer Hudson family murders is a member of the famed Gangster Disciples street gang. While some claim gang activity in Chicago is not out of hand, it would appear otherwise. Someone needs to take control of that city and stop the violence. Seriously.

We hear a coterie of celebs are going to turn out for Hudson’s family memorial services. We hope they show her love and support. She’s gonna need it after this tragedy.

Finally, Cloris Leachman, bless her heart, is off of Dancing With the Stars. We suppose viewers grew tired of the gimmick. She was funny but this is a dance show. Susan Lucci, altho lovely, looks too wooden. We think she’s the next to go. We think Lance Bass seems to likeable and his partner a real champion of dancing — she always performs 110 percent.

Those housewives in Atlanta are despicable. We haven’t seen anyone so self-absorbed since like high school. They are pathetic and spoiled and dreadful.

Jeremy Piven is once again turning this season of HBO’s Entourage into must-watch TV. Seriously, Sunday nights at 10 p.m. He’s insane as Ari. We love it so much we call it the Ari show.

We secretly want to be Amy Winehouse, but we’re not skinny enough to pull off the heroin-chic. We need better ideas, other than princess. We are that nearly every year.

Wonder who Marie Osmond uses as a plastic surgeon? Cause it’s super great work.

The tragedy that has befallen Jennifer Hudson is too much for anyone to take. We feel so bad for her and her family. Anyone who could shoot a 7-year-old boy in the head deserves the reaches of hell.

Are there gray hairs in the Barack Obama head? Some of his handlers need to break out the hair club for men. We don’t need a youthful prez with a headfull of gray, ya know . It kinda kills the buzz. We dug the photos of him in Hawaii wearing jeans and sandals. So modern.

We secretly wish Annie Liebowitz would take photos of us. She’s genius.

Saving Abel is our new fave band. We LOVE them and you should, too.

In our quieter moments we are thinking of our troops overseas. We hope you never forget them either. They deserve our ongoing prayers.

Not that we believe it’s anything more than a fictionalized account of the life of the prez. But for Oliver Stone, it was quality filmmaking and it lacked a lot of the Michael Moore-style cheap shots that make a lot of that type of left-wing political skewering unwatchable.

Josh Brolin is fab as Dubya, a really amazing performance. Lots of well-knowns round out the cast of presidential cabinet characters.

We recommend. We thought we’d hate it, but we didn’t at all.

The latest victims of Chicago’s ongoing murder spell are sadly the mother and brother of singer/actress Jennifer Hudson. We feel bad for her, but we do hope the publicity these murders generate helps to spur the city to get ahold of its crime rate and fight back harder against the gun and gang violence that has plagued certain areas of the city.

This is Chicago’s South Side, Barack Obama’s home turf. It has also made the city the murder capital of the nation. The (fairly) new police chief seems to be in trouble there, as murders have spiked under his watch. If city lawmakers weren’t outraged before, they ought to be now.

Did we mention Miss Hudson’s nephew is apparently missing — he’s 7. Good news, tho. The thug life who shot them is now in custody. We sure hope they find the little boy alive.

A very tragic story…..we send our diva condolences to Jennifer.

Says our Sarah to the Chicago Tribune: “I think Hillary Clinton was held to a different standard in her primary race,” Palin said. “Do you remember the conversations that took place about her, say superficial things that they don’t talk about with men, her wardrobe and her hairstyles, all of that? That’s a bit of that double standard.”

“It’s kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported,” Palin said.

THE STORIES ON HER $150,000 WARDROBE ARE WRONG.

Those comfortable-shoe-wearing trogs who are all over Sarah Palin about her campaign wardrobe spending should get a life. Hillary spent a pile on clothes. It’s just that she’s not in shape, has very little fashion sense and picked things that were not attractive.

These leftists are just angry because Sarah looks good in her clothes. If she were some dowdy feminist, they’d stand down. How much you think Nancy Pelosi pays for her Congressional wardrobe? 

Let us answer our own question: A SHITPILE. She’s wearing as much designer apparel as Cindy McCain. And yet, why aren’t they screaming that she’s sending the wrong message?

We are incensed! Pelosi is up there in Washington spending our money on funding losers on Wall Street. And doing it wearing six-figure rags. It just so happens that they are sexless and she’s someone’s grandma. And Sarah. We’ll…..she’s hot.

AS IF.

Adopting Tim Gunn

We decided to make the great and mannered fashion guru our new de facto father.

He’s genius, he’s to-the-point, but he’s also nice. And he knows clothes.

We all need fashion parenting. We really do.

In her recent sit-down with PEOPLE mag, our Sarah muses that she wants her preggers teen daughter to move forward with a wedding at age 18. She acknowledges that the teen sperminator has dropped out of school to work and praises his desire to support his new family.

We gotta say we think that’s WAY off base. These two kids need to be finishing school and going to college. They can have the baby but they must think about a future that isn’t so Alaska blue-collar. No offense, but really. They need educations. And getting married can wait til say, they’re 21. At 18, no one is in a good head space to make a decision on marriage. It seems kind of out of touch to suggest otherwise. We know she wants them to do the moral thing, but golly she seems to be glossing over the realities of what is going on.

Love you, Sarah. But we just can’t agree on this one.

It’s been going on for like two years, or at least it feels like that.

Oy… we’re sick of politics. Are you? 

But vote. Just do it. Ya gotta. Even divas do it.

Galpal Courtenay writes us in exasperation today: “What the F is up with Katie Holmes? That picture with her and Tom at the Hermes cocktail reception on the People site… a 3-piece pin striped suit??!! With her hair and those clothes? That pair is looking like the photographic negative image of Ellen and Portia??!! She is a beautiful girl and it looks like she’s becoming a clone of her husband. Just freaky. Please explain. Did her stylist die? Get fired by the Scientology freaks?”

A very good and timely question. And we agree, for the most part. She looks like a unisexual zombie, pale, somber and a mere shell of the lovely woman who married him in Italy not so long ago. It’s starting to creep us out, too.

Whaddya think? Her little girl Suri is lovely. Could Katie be happy or is she going along in this weird world that she’s lost control over. Something doesn’t feel right.

Didya see the TMZ footage of country star Kenny Chesney bald as a baby’s butt as he roams around Malibu in the off-season? It looks like he’s makin’ it his new post-tour getaway and keeping out of the Caribbean where he keeps a second home and gets chased by rabid fans.

But seriously, he looks a helluva lot better without the hat tricks, no? He doesn’t need to hide behind a baseball hat. Bald is fine. He’s 40 and mega-famous. Rock steady, dude.

We kind of like the DJ AM/Mandy Moore re-coupling.

We think they are cute together and work.

We hope Maniston is over. For her sake.

We are shocked Paris and Benji have made it this long.

And we wonder if our Tommy and Pam are still trying to make it work.

We wonder how long before Lindsay craves the pole and breaks Samatha’s heart. Sorry, but we think it’s bound to happen, given the history.

What couples do you like, not like, despise?

Hollywood love is really hard. Not that real, ugly-normal people love isn’t. All we’re sayin……….

Gas is way cheaper, lending rates are up, credit crunch is abating, the market is slowly rebounding.

The economy is cyclical, people. Have some faith in the USA. For now.

And we think that chick who won Project Runway needs a better haircut. She looks like a post-modern Dickens novel character, no? Great frocks, bad do. She could be on another reality show. Where is that Carson when we need him?

RIP: Mr. Blackwell

One of our favorite queens — not a queen like Madonna, but you know what we mean — has passed on to that great atelier/runway in the sky.

Mr. Blackwell was 86. And that’s like 250 in fashion years. We will miss his vicious fashion discourse and worst-dressed commentary. He was usually spot-on. Mean, but spot-on.

He was iconic. And isn’t that what we all strive to be.

Of course it is.

We are hearing that our queen, Madonna, may offer hubbie Guy a $60 million settlement to let it all go away quietly. Given the publicity, we think it’s a good thing. It’s a sum she won’t miss.

Now, she can move to New York and pick up with A-Rod. Cause ya know that’s gonna happen. Stay tuned.

Not even, in a side by side comparison…..does SNL’er Tina Fey match up with Sarah Palin.

Liked the opening. Especially when she told that big-headed creep Alec Baldwin that she liked Stephen best. Come to think of it, we do too.

And we still like Sarah a lot as well. Even after all the criticism, we think she’s bright and engaging and not stupid like the liberals want to paint her. We think she’s a total star and feminist hottie — which is why all the ugly women’s rights folks can’t stand her. Pretty and successful — they can’t stand it.

AS IF.

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.

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.
