Did things get really crap, or did I just get old?

                                                

I had a rather epic gym session this morning. And I’m not talking about the usual brand of epic. In case you’re wondering what that is, it basically involves:

a) Making it through the door (doesn’t matter how little exercise I do once there, you definitely lose weight just from “going” to the gym, right?)

b) And staying for more than 20 minutes without:

i) falling off treadmill

ii) having internal meltdown at sight of lycra-clad 100 pound nymphettes

Lady Gaga got burned by Die Antwoord

It’s been a while, but if anything was going make me come back after an 18 month silence, it was going to be  something related to Lady Gaga’s vagina. And imagine, the days when I posted regularly were when we all speculated whether she actually had one!*

Basically, the world’s self-appointed freakiest pop star has been burned, badly, by a far lesser known South African group – and not only have they left her licking her wounded ego, they have alerted us to the fact that they effortlessly do what she has always tried to do; give out some strong political messages while simultaneously freaking the shit out of people.

I admit, I probably only knew who Die Antwoord were because I have  a South African boyfriend. But I’m under the impression that most people who are really interested in music and the weird and wonderful genres it brings us will have heard of them. If you haven’t, just imagine a big bloke who looks like he should have been cast as an extra in The Hills Have Eyes, rapping and gurning, while a little blonde pixie creature jumps around squeaking the F word a lot.

Why, of course

Kim Kardashian has promoted just about everything else, so she might as well add bum-wiping to the list.

I want to adopt Willow Smith

Mommy and Daddy inspired me to be a performer. I get my flow from Daddy, my singing ability from Mommy, and the camera stuff from both. That’s just what happens when you hang out with the Smiths!

How cute is Willow? And how much does she look like her dad?

I like that she called her parents mommy and daddy.  It hints that she’s not growing up too fast despite the record deal with Jay-Z and megastar parents.

I also like her wacky sense of style.

This girl  is gonna be huge!

Scarlett Johansson has a new ‘do

Scar-Jo is the latest of many ‘slebs who have gone for the chop and everyone seems to be commenting on whether they like it or not.

I don’t mind it – it’s edgy and she has the sort of face that can pull off many styles – though I do think long, flowing locks suit her sex-kitten image better.

Wow, that’s got to be awkward

Bumping into an ex is always going to be awkward, but this must have been pretty excruciating for old Marky.

First of all, Daisy looked damn incredible in that dress. She totally owned the look, complete with shiny, tousled hair and smoky eyes.

And then she had young, handsome Doctor Who on her arm who she is clearly totally loved up with.

Well played, Daisy.
