Ken, Taken By T (Taylor or Tiane?)





Admit it-- you grew up playing with Barbies, cutting her hair, changing her clothes, peeking underneath her clothes, using her as a puppet, etc.--
but it was always more fun to play with Barbie if you also had a Ken doll. 






Fast forward to high school and you realize there is a real-life Ken doll out there and he goes by the name:
Zac Efron.  Then you hear that he takes naked pictures of his girlfriend on his cell phone (google this one on your own, no link provided) and this triggers a mixed feeling of confusion and envy.  You are befuddled by the fact that Michael Bolton's lovechild Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez do more choreography than what is directed by Kenny Ortega and then you also feel this pang of jealousy that makes you want to crawl out of your skin and into Vanessa Hudgens'.  All this contributes to your strange and misguided teen years, but that's another story.

Then you're about to graduate college and maybe by now you've
moved on to more mature men-- the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling...George Clooney (if you're a classic overachiever and going for above and beyond minimal maturity...silver hair is obviously living proof of full-blown maturation.)  And just as you've mentally distracted yourself from Zac, you hear that he's been spotted engaged in a cozy dinner with none other than Taytay
In the words of Celine Dion, it's all coming back to me now.


A montage of daydreams flashes in front of your face: you're singing karaoke with Zac on a cruise ship on NYE; you're standing in the bleachers of a high school basketball court, in the dark, and there's a spotlight on you-- a synthesized drumbeat follows and you and a sweaty, jerseyed Zachary serenade each other; you are at rehearsal on the set of a very dark stage, gazing into Zac's eyes...the dreams go on and on-- sorry, we don't have time to get into all of it.


Your obsession with real-life-Ken-doll comes back at you at 682mph and smacks you in the face.
Taylor is one sneaky witch!!!
AS IF it wasn't enough that she had Jake G. last year, the witch had to go find more inspiration for song material. 
It's okay, Taylor...we'd forgive you if you just stopped making songs altogether.
.......jk...currently obsessed with "Sparks Fly".      and "Enchanted"....

                                

Let's all just cross our fingers that Z&T's dinner was a casual get-together between castmates after a long day of recording their voices for an animated film.  Allegedly that's all it was, and life will just be easier if you believe it to be true.  But ladies, just because Zac isn't taken by Taytay doesn't mean he's open for business...he belongs to my friend Tiane-- and that's a Z&T I can approve of!

Charlize Theron FTW!

Tonight was the night of the Golden Globes...and let's get real, the only thing we care about this poor man's hybrid of the Oscars + the Emmys is the red carpet wear (and the fact that it's completely studded in Harry Winston.)  For an award show that nominated The Tourist as eligible for any kind of award and brings in Zach Galifianakis' father Ricky Gervais as the perennial host...we don't care what happens post 7:59PM EST/4:59PM PST.

Let me lead with who I thought was the most stunning gal on the red carpet, hands down, no contest.
Charlize Theron.
In Dior, of course, in nude/blush-- which seemed to be the color of the night (see Giuliana Rancic & Kate Beckinsale).   I literally said "whoa" out loud when I saw her on the carpet-- so stunning!  Quite the opposite of her in Monster.  You would think a headband has no place at the Globes, but it does-- on Charlize's head.  (And not on Michelle Williams', just to be clear...)

To complete my list of the top five best dressed are: Nicole Richie in a Julien Macdonald beaded number, coupled with fresh bangs and a little Harry Winston; Rooney Mara in a slick hairdo and regrown eyebrows-- looked so good with the Nina Ricci tulle vesting her torso-- she has the likings of Kristen Stewart, a little awk, but definitely more socially acceptable; Sofia Vergara came as a blue Vera Wang mermaid decorated with Harry Winston after supposedly doing two-a-days to get ready to fit into her slimming dress...it's too bad she endorses Pepsi...if she just stuck to a strictly Diet Coke diet, she wouldn't have had to hit the gym at all; and we finish off with Jessica Alba in a lavender Gucci bejeweled gown, who I do not have extra commentary on.  Except for that seven years from now her daughter will probably hate her for naming her Honor.

Before we get to the slew of poorly dressed pagans on the red carpet, let's just address a couple of things...
1)                                                                                                             2)
<--- The most anticipated appearance tonight was supposedly Angelina Jolie because it's Angelina Jolie and she was STUH-NING last year in her Versace diamond-encrusted emerald down last year.  In her defense, the bar was set really high after last year, so it would have been hard to top...but it seems as though Angelina thought it was Halloween and that she would come dressed as a Christian Louboutin shoe.

Maria Menounos --->
trying to holler at the most celibate famous man in the world next to Nick Jonas.
                       





Tilda Swinton...
just not even
trying at life.


Now I leave you with a montage of all the worst dressed peoples that rolled up on the red carpet in LA today...
sorry for the eye sores.
