Only a few more weeks until Splendora completes its biggest project
ever- the official Splendora baby/mascot is about to be born. Let us tell
you, we are waiting with baited breath to see little boy Pell. Plus, we
have another baby on the way, but this one won't make us tired, cranky, or
give us schpilkis in the genechtegadzoindkt, Splendora is also patiently
awaiting the arrival of our 3rd guide book, The Splendora Handheld.
We will fill you in on all the details once the due date gets closer. And
while the book project may have given us headaches, nausea, and sharp
pains in the gut just like a real baby does, there is no way it will look
as cute as Gina's sweet, Samoan/Jewish bundle of joy.

A NOSE FOR NEWS
Hearing that a celeb has gone under the knife is hardly news, but our ears perk up when we hear that a Simpson has opted for surgery. Ashlee may be giving reporters the run-around when it comes to their nosey questions about her schnozz, but a before-after comparison suggests that Ash's small bizzump has been turned into a ski jump. Shake your finger at the lip-syncher if you will, but if 15-year olds in the 90210 or on Long Island are getting nipped, enhanced, and nose-jobbed, why can't Ashlee too? Especially when the results are relatively decent. Aside from the "job", the younger Simpson sis has been looking super foxy as of late- she's svelte and her mermaid weave is pretty sweet. Meanwhile, Jessica, has chopped off her locks, wigged them a mousy brown/red, and is schlepping around town in some less-than-cute outfits (get rid of the turtleneck tees.) It looks like the tables are turning in the Simpson family, with Papa Joe paying attention to Ash, and Jess now playing the role of back-up puppet, plain-Jane sibling. We predict that sometime soon someone will have a secret dinner with Nick or have a beat down with CaCee to get back in the LA LA land limelight.

WE'VE GOT A MESSAGE FOR YOU
Message tees: if you're caught wearing one nowadays, you must be caught in a timewarp, circa 1999. That, or you're a clever teenager with a crude or cutsey message emblazoned across your chest. But the main problem with message tees is that they speak for you, instead of letting you speak for yourself. Consider Danny Masterson's bold, obviously pro-Scientology tee - we've always thought of the young Masterson as a friendly, unassuming, un-pretentious, semi-celeb. Now, the only description ringing in our head is Danny Masterson: mini-Tom Cruise (or, Danny Masterson: "off his rocker"). Let's make something perfectly clear people, even though the tee says so, some folks don't think you're a, "Future M.I.L.F.," no one cares if, "Jesus is your Homeboy," or if you're, "Gettin' Lucky in Kentucky." And most likely, no one is going to give up their Prozac and happy pills just because your tee says to.
