So many of you pop culture junkies wrote in about our listing
the wrong Brady in our "Hot Couple"category. Our only excuse for the gaffe
of calling Peter, Greg, was a wicked bad champagne hangover. Sorry
darlings.

POR FAVOR, NO MAS
SINGING
The
first few seconds of this mystifying duet seemed promising as the curtain
opened to reveal La Lopez lounging in a clever Latino soap opera backdrop.
We didn't even mind her wobbly vocals or the fact that this newly married
pair has as much chemistry as Anna Nicole Smith and her dead husband. And
when J.Lo turned to take off her Frederick's of Hollywood robe we were
hopeful that she would emerge in a disco-worthy frock so she could bust
some moves. We couldn't have guessed that this hyper self-conscious
perfectionist would not only continue to sing off-key, but also reveal an
unflattering drop-waisted gown that may or may not have proven those "J.Lo
is Praying for a Baby" headlines.

ITALIAN VOGUE--DEFINITELY IN
TOUCH
It
appears as though the obsession with all things celebrity has infected
even the purest of fashion magazines. Italian Vogue is currently featuring
a multi-page spread on the spoils of Hollywood shot by Steven Meisel. It
looks like a chicer version of a Star spread, but it's still full
of fluorescent taglines, our favorite being the obviously language
barrier-botched, "Wack Attack." It's classic that the European view of
Hollywood includes showcasing nasty American habits like drinking an
overly caffeinated Big Gulp while pregnant and wearing Uggs with short
skirts. The likeness to actual stars is uncanny; somehow they recruited
their very own copies (down to the pouty, pursed lips) of Mary-Kate, Drew,
Lindsay, Pamela, Britney, Paris, and O.C. star, Rachel
Bilson.

THE
MISSUS VERSUS
Christina's already halfway there and tanorexic
(emphasis on anorexic) Nicole is stepping on her heels. We can just hear
Aguilera's fiancee saying, "My old lady's at home," since old frosty
pompadour certainly has the look to back it up.
