It’s a good indication that your new album sucks if you have to pay Kim Kardashian to show up at your release party. Kim doesn’t even go to the bathroom for free — where do you think those shitty TV shows come from?
Avril Lavigne, 26 going on 46 (the drink ages you fast, kids) posed with Kim (fresh from the Calabasas Car Wash) at the party for Av’s new album, “Goodbye, I Suck Lullaby,” held at the SL(ut) lounge in NYC on Tuesday, when venues are cheaper to rent… because the whole record release budget probably went to Kim.
Then again, Avril is dating Brody Jenner, Kim’s stepbrother, so this might be a freebie. But I doubt it. Av recently had “Brody” tattooed below her right breast, because she’s a genius.
Avril is so punk… she lives in this Bel-Air house. For reals.
Field General Oprah Winfrey (left) wore this holiday-pounds-hiding taffeta Death Star bathrobe and standard issue gabardine trousers to a press tour cocktail party for OWN in Pasadena on Thursday, while shrill money mavenette Suze Orman (right) showed up in the cash-conscious husky version in pleatherine and sensible cotton.
General Oprah revealed that her recent intergalactic travel had caused some type of magnetic backfire resulting in the worldwide deaths of thousands of fish and birds. She is, however, making arrangements with God to have them all replaced. Should be done by Tuesday.
Former Sears employee Katherine Jackson, 80, as she appeared on Tuesday at a preliminary hearing in the case of propofol doc Conrad Murray, who, according to testimony, didn’t know CPR.
Mother Jackson, a polio survivor, receives $26,804 monthly from Michael Jackson’s estate as her personal allowance (separate from what is provided for his children, and other earnings).
She isn’t spending it on clothes, as seen in this airline blue pantsuit from Macy’s Hillary Clinton Collection. She is followed by daughter La Toya, 54, who looks like she just caught a glimpse of her future.
Her Majesty, Betty Deuce, busted out her red dress and matching topper, which looks like it was made from the worn carpeting of a Philadelphia hotel reception room. Why is she so elegant and so perky, you ask? Or don’t.
Betty is festooned to receive no less than the Emir of Qatar, known to his loved ones as Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al Thani, who is popping into Windsor for a State chat (the first for Qatar since 1985). She undoubtedly greeted the Emir with a jolly, “Hello, Thani!”
The hefty Emir, personally worth about $2.8 billion, wore a fancy cumin colored blanket and fancy headdress of the type known to make air travelers nervous.
The Emir of Qatar, by the way, recently met with Israeli minister Tzipi Livni (love that name) in New York — a rare attempt by a Persian Gulf leader to pursue such a dialogue. But let’s have a better look at Betty’s brooch.
Billionaire oilman and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller was born on this day in 1839, and his grandson Nelson — who served as New York Governor, and as Vice President under Gerald Ford — was also born on this day in 1908.
John D., Jr. developed the property beginning in 1929. The Rockefeller family still maintains offices at 30 Rockefeller Center. The building is perfectly proportioned for natural light to reach every square foot of office space.
The below photo by Charles Clyde Ebbets, Lunchtime Atop a Skyscraper, is one of the best known photographs of the 1930s and was taken during construction of what was then known as the RCA Building.
And now, this gorgeous George and Ira Gershwin song by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.
Thinking he’s chatting up a tacky New Jersey waitress wearing flesh-tone lipstick, Tiger Woods puts the moves on Jon Bon Jovi during the opening ceremonies at some golf tournament in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.
There are reports today that ex-wife Elin is set to gobble up as much as $750M for her troubles, with the stipulation that he keep his hos away from her children. Are you listening, Bon Jovi?
