AILING AND FLAILING  Most people place "Get Healthy" at the top of their list of New Year's Resolutions, whether this involves losing weight, quitting cigs, or dumping toxic friends. We assume that celebrities, too, are concerned with being the best they can be, but you wouldn't know it given all the infirm stars out there right now. New Year's Eve might be a time to get down and get sloshed, but passing out dead drunk (er, we mean fast asleep) isn't the brightest way to kick off 2007. And if you're a new mom, have been spending more evenings out than a party promoter, and are trying to forge a career comeback, you'd better shift into "good girl" mode during public appearances. Equally dangerous, and even more disgusting is railing out against your pregnant girlfriend, which is what model/actor Tyrese is being accused of. Have we not learned from the collective mistakes of David Hasselhoff, Mike Tyson, and Yanni? Physical violence is not cool; it's the antithesis of achieving a Zen state of mind, or even basic human decency. Then there's - sigh - Lindsay Lohan, who was rushed to the hospital for an appendectomy yesterday morning. Lohan should resolve to get a life makeover, including axing booze, degenerate friends, and bad influences of every sort. Someone get Oprah, Deepak Chopra, and Steven Covey on her case, stat. She needs an extreme crude to prude intervention; maybe then these mysterious and all too frequent hospital sojourns would become nonexistent.

WHY BRAD PITT IS A GIRL  Admit it or not, most of us have suffered from "Clingy Girlfriend Syndrome". When afflicted with C.G.S., we are so infatuated with our significant other that we can't see straight and visions of a perfect future together corrupt our thoughts, no matter what our feminist sensibility may dictate. But after examining the curious case of Brad Pitt, a man so obviously enchanted with his gorg girlfriend that it's (from our perspective) kinda pathetic, we realize that guys aren't immune to C.B(oyfriend).S. In fact, Brad has the track record of a serial monogamist: he stuck steadfastly by Juliette Lewis, proclaimed Gwyneth his "angel", and even fashioned a homemade
necklace spelling out "Jen" which he proudly sported at the Emmys. The necklace project was particularly disconcerting, similar to something that a love-struck thirteen-year-old might do. And now, look at any picture of Brangelina on the red carpet, Brangelina in Africa, Brangelina in their sexy Vogue shoot, and you'll see the boy cooing at his bada$$ biker babe like a smitten kitten. It's cute, to be sure, but we feel sorry for the poor guy. What'll happen if Angelina decides to - knock on wood - dump him? Given Angelina's, um, colorful dating past, we wouldn't be surprised if she decided to up and leave like the capricious soul she is. It'll be Haagen-Dazs city for Brad, followed by hours of playing "All by Myself" on repeat.
