From MSN:

In other [Daniel] Radcliffe news, the actor will soon make his body-baring Broadway debut in “Equus,” and producers are apparently determined to make sure no one pounces on the opportunity to photograph his magic wand.

So it looks like Anti-Sanjaya Girl will have to endure another week of starvation. So far, it looks like she’s up for it - which, frankly, surprises me. I was thinking she’d give in this week.

If I ever decide to starve myself for a cause, I will make sure that:

1. My goal can possibly be reached in increments of DAYS, not WEEKS. I can’t imagine the thought at 8:29pm every Wednesday night that you have to endure another ENTIRE WEEK before the next possibility of relief comes.
2. It will not have anything to do with a reality TV show.

Although, I will say that I disagree with the people who are mad at her for hunger striking over such a minor issue because they think her priorities are screwed up when there are SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO STARVE YOURSELF FOR.

Frankly, anyone who goes on a hunger strike for World Peace, or Save the Rain Forests, or Stop the Genocide, or whatever, is resigning themselves to a death sentence. There is simply no way that any major issue like that can get resolved in the time it takes to die from lack of food, no matter how many people are trying to help you.

If you’re going on a hunger strike, it SHOULD be over something trivial, so that at least there is the possibility of succeeding - the possibility that SOMEBODY who matters will think that your life is more important than X and will conceded to your demands.

I’ve been keeping up with her blog, not so much from an overwhelming compulsion to see what happens to her, but more because it’s entertaining to read the comments she gets. Some people just have this compulsive need to hear themselves type, even if what they have to say takes a sudden left swing into the Valley of Irrelevance.

For instance, this was in response to a post she made about having lost 10 lbs:

wait, wait, let me get this straight…you are supposed to have LOST 10 lbs? Man, no offense, because I don’t know how tall you are and everything, but .I am like 5′7 and weigh 115 (if that)… and whereas you are supposedly 23 and from what I can gather you are living with your parents and they have so much concern, I just turned 21 and am in college, and we lost the house that my family was living in in Maryland because my mother made my 19 year old sister, 22 year old autistic brother, and I abandon the house and move with her and her crazy gf to Troy, NY the night after she made my father leave the house and go live with his mother, and my mother drove me back to Maryland in August 2006 since I am in college, and her friend came along for the drive and threatened to kill me and cursed my mother’s parent’s out and my mother did absolutely NOTHING, so now my father has to come get me and I have to stay at his senile mother’s house with no computer or internet during breaks from college. Otherwise I am pretty much on my own. I don’t even have a bf or anything because I am afraid to trust anyone, and it seems like everyone at my college is black, but I don’t want to feel like I have to be comitted to a black person.

So you mean you weighed like 165 before? How tall are you anyway?

Somebody needs a therapist to get all that angst out to. And then there are the AI wanna-be’s, waiting to be discovered:

THIS KID SUCKS… I would take him on in a second in a sing off, been singing all my life, so all these ppl saying they would like to see you or anyone else sing better than him, I will do it and this is not a joke, my dad taught me to sing when I was like 4 and he was a great singer I have a CD I made for him, just from him singing to music, anyone have any questions on that, I will be glad to send u a sound file!!!!!!! Just add me as a friend and you will hear it on myspace… I have sung in front of thousands of people, I know the nerves and was able to overcome them, it was AWESOME!!!!

Careful, y’all - she’ll “do it and this is not a joke.” I guess for some people, everything really is all about THEM.

The wind is so strong here today that it’s blowing the birds right out of the trees. There are shingles in the alleyway from various people’s houses and the sky/air outside is this weird yellowish color because so much sand/dust has been blown up into the air that when you go check the mail, you can feel the grit of it in your teeth. I don’t recall opening my mouth when I checked the mail, and yet I have sand in my teeth.

All the trash/recycling bins have toppled over and our backyard chairs have been blown up against the house. The closed umbrella is now prostrate on the ground. Every time there’s a breeze, the window in our master bath whistles. Today it sounds like there’s a train going through there.

Whatever this is blowing in, I wish it would just get here already.

And in other news, the salon where Britney shaved off her hair is selling the locks for $1,000 per strand. It strikes me as sad when celebrities reach such a superhuman status that people become willing and eager to make a profit on a person’s display of emotional instability.

So it’s official. After some secret talks with representatives from China, Kim Jong-il Apologizes for Nuclear Tests

If you haven’t seen this scene from Team America, the following won’t make any sense to you:

“Apology” written by Kim Jong-il:

I’m so sorwy, so sorwy,
My missiles and bombs were all duds.
Now de terwrists won’t buy dem,
Dose guys are such stick-in-de-muds.
I wowrked rearry hawrd to act rike a tuwrd,
Showing my moxie to arr of de worrd,
But China came over and squeezed on my baaaaawwrrs,
And now I’m sorwy. So verwy sorwy.
It was a wrost cauwse.

I love conspiracy theories. I put zero stock in them whatsoever, but I really enjoy seeing all the creativity that goes into fabricating that “alternate interpretation” of the events. I’ve heard a lot of theories this summer - government conspiracies, celebrity conspiracies, 9/11 conspiracies…

So I’ve decided to dedicate a special Theory Thursday post to what has to be my all-time favorite conspiracy ever: The Baby Suri Conspiracy.

For those who haven’t heard (in which case, what, are you living under a rock?), it goes like this:

Shortly after breaking up with Chris Klein, dear Katie found out she was pregnant with his baby. She was dating Tom at the time, and when she told him, he not only got excited about the pregnancy, he wanted everyone to think it was his. See, Tom has issues with [rumors about] his impotence, the reason he and Nicole were never able to have children of their own.

So the due date was announced to be a couple months later than what it actually was, to allow for the acceptable timeline. Once Katie actually had the baby, the couple still insisted she was pregnant. Unfortunately, sometimes she forgot to wear her enormous tummy pillow:

After Suri was born, she was kept in hiding for several months until her actual age was less obvious. Naysayers claim she just “looks” older than she is, mostly because of the abundance of hair, but the world still remains suspicious.

Adding to the suspicion are the claims from some that baby Suri has Chris Klein’s almond eyes. In addition, there are some minor oddities about the birth certificate that also raise an eyebrow.

Now, total props to the person/s who came up with this - it’s fabulous. AND IF IT WERE TRUE - why, I think that would just be the coolest thing I’d ever heard.

On a sidenote, I decided to do some comparisons of my own because I’m not too good at judging a baby’s age.

See, Button looks significantly older than she actually is, and she always has. When she was born, the most common comment we got was “She doesn’t look at all like a newborn!” Everybody we meet is in total disbelief at her age.

So I figure as far as baby comparisons go, it’s a pretty good match to see if it’s even feasable for Suri to look as old as she does.

Here’s a picture of both babies at 3 months (mine’s the one on the left):

So what do you guys think? Is Suri really older than her birth certificate states? Do we have a bonafide conspiracy here? Does it look like they waxed her eyebrows for this photo shoot? Is my kid cuter? (Just kidding. I already know the answer to that )

What’s your favorite conspiracy - celebrity or otherwise?
