| Before y'all head out for Labor Day Weekend we wanted to send you an early copy of Friday ForPlay. And even though it's our job to make you laugh on a Friday (or in this case Thursday) afternoon, it's hard to be flip with all that's going on in the world. We encourage you to take some time out of your long weekend to find out how you can help with the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. |

| DECEITFUL DESCRIPTORS Magazine files at the Splendora office overflow with the latest gossip rags; it's not uncommon for the ladies to take ten-minute breaks in order to peruse the latest issue of "US Weekly" or participate in no-holds-barred celeb oriented debate sessions. As much as we revel in each defaming article and the tidbits circulated by Hollywood gossipmongers, we caution readers to be wary when pouring over a new batch of paparazzi photos. Pictures do indeed lie, especially if their content is distorted by a sneaky editor or disreputable "secret source." Recent snaps of Lindsay Lohan show her frolicking around New York and Los Angeles with a handsome, clean-cut young man who certain busy bodies are calling her new boyfriend.

She's blasé about toting around a busted corduroy Gap bag instead of a sleek Prada purse, and happily brags about her one-woman "posse" consisting of a best friend from back home. Kelly's genuine lovable attitude is enough to elicit an "Aw, shucks" from even the most crotchety pessimists out there. When did KC become so hip? |
