I told you about it last week… and here they come. Even more plastic than the real-life Kardashians… their Barbies are forthcoming from Mattel.
Hide yo kids.

in advertising, bad hair, can you believe it?, for reals, kardashian, my nerves, oh the horror
This snazzy joint was once “Winnemucca’s newest and finest,” on the old Route 40 in Winnemucca, Nevada, boasting luxury at economy prices. Plus, superb food and exciting entertainment in the “Crimson Lounge,” which looks like a redecorated Philadelphia basement — and if the inset photo is any indication, we know why it’s a real gone place. Today, it’s…
this. Clearly for winners. See you in Winnemucca! (What rhymes with that?)

in Real Gone Places, architecture, can you believe it?, stuff I like, white buildings
They’re back! Rose Parade hosts Bob Eubanks of “The Newlywed Game” and “Stephanie Edwards” of Lucky supermarket commercials (yeah, they’re gone) will once again bore the minions with details on the making of the ridiculous floats sailing down Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena today.
Last year, Stephanie said she was going to put nuts on her face.
I’m looking forward to seeing how that worked out for her.

in animation, can you believe it?, crap, hot messes, pearl clutch, ya gotta love it
In a wild new biography, “Nixon’s Darkest Secrets: The Inside Story of America’s Most Troubled President,” former UPI Washington Bureau Chief Don Fulsom says that Tricky Dick liked dick, and was associated with the mob for more than 20 years before his 1968 erection, er, election, and that he had more than a “friend” relationship with associate Charles “Bebe” Rebozo.
You know this can’t be true, because nobody, and I mean NOBODY, would ever suck Nixon’s dick. It’s just not possible. Well, maybe J. Edgar Hoover. Okay, yah, Hoover.

Tom Cruise’s armpit, and an unfortunate Variety header.
This is what happens when editors are on vacation. (The online version has been changed.)

in can you believe it?, oopsy, press
Scientolodrones Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as seen at the opening of his latest film that no one wants to see… and Jack Klugman and Tony Randall as “The Odd Couple.”
One is a mismatched pair put together by Hollywood executives.

Marion Davies, the first lady of Hearst Castle, film star and hostess extraordinaire, as seen in 1936, wearing a Cossack turban and matching coat. Hearst never married Davies because his wife wouldn’t grant him a divorce, or he wouldn’t pay the settlement.
Here’s Marion, doing her own singing, in 1934′s “Operator 13.” The handsome chap is Gary Cooper.
Publisher, movie producer and collector Hearst died at age 88 in 1951, leaving half of what remained of his fortune to Marion. “Citizen Kane” is loosely based on his life, with the Susan Alexander character based on Davies.
Davies died of cancer in 1961, leaving an estate worth $20 or 30 million. She bequeathed millions to UCLA for a children’s hospital, and half of the estate went to her “niece.”
After the 1993 death of Davies’ niece, Patricia Van Cleve Lake, it was revealed by Lake’s family that she was actually the birth daughter of Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst. Here’s Patricia in a modified turban…
It is said that Hearst told Lake that she was his biological daughter, on her wedding day at the castle, to actor Arthur Lake of “Blondie” fame. She’s entombed, with Arthur and Marion, at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
When in San Luis Obispo, visit Hearst Castle.

That paragon of journalism, The Mirror, has done an age progression for Suri Cruise, theorizing that this is how the brainwashed fashionista moppet will look when she’s 25.
This is not taking into account her future cult deprogramming, possible drug abuse and prison time.

Pope Benny, 84, is propped up on a riser at a mass for Latin America in St. Peter’s Basilica, marking the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12.
On December 9, 1531, an Aztec peasant named Juan Diego had a vision of Guadalupe, who asked him if he would kindly build a church in the Tepeyac desert near Mexico City. Juan told the local bishop, who wanted proof.
Guadalupe appeared to Juan again, and offered roses on a mountaintop in winter as proof, which he carried to the bishop in his apron. When he dropped the flowers, her image was on the fabric. Kinda like this toaster press.
Juan’s apron is visited by millions every year. The toaster press is available here.
