I think Vanessa Hudgens sure is feeling good right about now. I mean, REALLY good - as it seems that she'll soon be joined on the list of "Disney teenage wonders who took off their clothes" by yet another Hollywood hottie - the singing sensation Miley Cyrus a.k.a. Hannah Montana, who shows every sign of being re... |

Hayden Panettiere should make up her mind already. I have no idea what this (barely legal) hottie is playing at, but I'm beginning to feel confused.

Whenever my friends and I go out and the topic of Amy Wino pops up, I am always the one who ends up getting laughed at. "How can you possibly despise Britney Spears and stand up for this wreck?", someone will always say. And yes, all this is 99% true: Amy Wino is a pill-popping, drunken mess of a woman, who has a har... |

It's all starting to look pretty real in the scandal involving boxing legend Oscar de la Hoya and the photographs depicting him wearing a rather girlish outfit - that is, a fishnet bodysuit, high heels and pink underwear.

Darling Kate, she's so sweet when she does that. Pose topless, that is, and just give everyone a look at her goodies. If I were to be really mean right now, I'd probably add that there's not much about her boobs that hasn't been seen yet, but anyway - she's just adorable, having fun in the su... |

Man oh man, Vanessa Hudgens is a party animal. And I mean that in the literal way.
