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.

Dirty dog dealing and other weekend crap

By the Diva

Dear Princesses:

When this whole new financial bailout goes south, remember who voted for it. And vote THEM out of office.

This deal is totally a bad idea in the long run.

All we’re sayin.

That, and we feel superbad for Miss Heather Locklear. Perhaps the psychopharms she got at the rehab are a bad combo cause she wasn’t drunk.

We don’t like Tina Fey. We think she is one smug rhymes with witch. We’d like to see her debate Sarah Palin. Most of those Hollywood types are outed as stupid once they are called on the carpet to defend their views.

We think Lipstick Jungle is off to a fab start and can’t wait to see this week’s episode.

Scarlett Johannson marries at 23. That’ll last.

DJ AM and Travis Barker seemed to be getting along much better. AM has returned to LA and Travis should be out in a coupla weeks. That is great news. 

We love the elle.com/astrology horoscopes. You should check em out.

We bought galpal Jill a purple pumpkin for Halloween but she doesn’t know it yet. We got some dark chocolate M&Ms, too. We love Halloween and plan to wear our tiara (natch) and pass out candy. When little kids ask us ‘what are you?’ we say what we always say, even when it isn’t Halloween: A princess.

AS IF

The Emmy goes to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

By the Diva

We liked all of the stupid pinko political comments from Hollywood’s big brains, but other than that, and Jeremy Piven’s moment of truth, we pretty much thought this year’s show sucked.

Three hours and about two jokes that worked. Maybe the writers should strike again and work on being FUNNY.

We did think Emmy voters got a lot of things right, tho. We can’t argue with the winners, even if some came from shows we haven’t yet seen.

We do give major snaps to Christina Applegate, who looked fabulous and no worse for the wear after her double mastectomy. She is a real comic talent who hasn’t yet gotten her due, we think.

As for Piven: He once told us to our face that our DVF dress looked like his shower curtain. So it would seem art does imitate life or vice versa.

Loved Brooke Shields’ hot pink dress — VERY DIVALICIOUS. More fashion commentary later.

And finally…..our boys DJ AM and Travis Barker are gonna live and perhaps are less injured than we initially thought. That is GREAT news and we send those boys our continued prayers as they recover. Their physical injuries aside, the mental toll of surviving such a tragedy is probably significant. Can you imagine being the only survivors walking out of a burning plane?

We can’t either. Much love to those boys in Georgia. Glad to see their family and pals gathering round.

Pray for Travis and Adam

By the Diva

As we type, Adam Goldstein (known professionally as DJ AM) and musician Travis Barker are in an Augusta, Ga. hospital being treated for serious burns after their Lear jet crashed on takeoff from Columbia, S.C.

We met Adam several years ago at a party he was working at the Delano Hotel in Miami. We’d known about him — he was involved in a relationship for a time with Nicole Ritchie — but were very surprised to find out that he was not a spoiled brat celebrity but a supernice guy. 

We went up to his DJ booth and asked him if he had some specific music. He laughed — it was older and out of his spectrum that night — but offered to come up with some other stuff we might like. And he didn’t blow us off. He chatted, asked US about OUR life and got to work playing our songs.

On the celebrity ego spectrum, he had NONE. He was a sweet boy with a great, low-key personality and seemed totally real.

And so we pray for Adam and for Travis, who was on the plane, and for the families of the others who died in this crash. It’s been a long time since we had a celebrity plane crash, so to speak, but this one looks like it’s shaping up to be a real tragedy.
