Endless summer. Wouldn't that be grand? Instead we begin the
inevitable countdown toward the crazy Fall/Winter season. Make the most of
this weekend, whether it rains, fogs, or shines. Buy pineapples, make
blended drinks, and drive your neighbors crazy by dining al fresco (or by
an open window for all you citydwellers.)

MARRIED TO THE MOM
These days in Hollyweird, mom-agers are giving windbag super-agents like Ari Gold a run for their money. Unlike most civilian managers/agents, moms are often higher up on the payroll and are way more skilled in the art of dishing out the guilt. Lynne Spears, Susan Duff, and Melanie Johansson inflict the mom-wrath to keep their workhorse kin raking in the accolades and dough. But Dina Lohan takes the job to a different level. The former Rockette tools around with her boozehound daughter and reaps all of the rewards of living vicariously through her (i.e. Cristal, Kitson, and Diet Coke.) Witness the power; L-squared just bailed on the European Herbie junket (costing the studio and her reputation) to go stand by Dina's side at her divorce trial. But worse than the aforementioned stage mom(s) is dad-ager/pastor, Joe Simpson. J. Simp's pops is creep-city and too often talks about her money-making
cleavage and how he was Jessica's "man, her everything" before she was married to Nick. Could all of this psycho brainwashing and guilt-tripping be the cause of starlet burnout?

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMM......
Somebody found some new BFFs. First Sienna Miller dumps the nanny snoggin' Law then she's seen chumming around town with the Penns. If this isn't a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is. And while Sean's princess bride is still a looker at age 39, Robin's roving Irishman has been known to have a soft palate for ingenue. Let's analyze this photo for a moment. Notice the zingy, tan refreshed look that Sean is sporting (typical for a titillated middle aged married man). And while Miller locks arms with Robin, she is nestled in Sean's nook. Where is his hand resting anyway?
