Dearest Circus Hour Readers,
New week, new plans…
After a fun-filled time here on Circus Hour, the two of us have decided to pursue a different direction and return to posting on separate blogs: Holy Candy|The Entertainment Bible (satire — the pop culture answer to “The Onion,” if you will), CandyKirby.com (daily pop culture commentary) and Gallery of the Absurd (art).
For those who enjoyed our satirical collaborations, never fear — we enjoyed them, too, which is why we’re going to continue working together on a weekly(ish) basis. So be sure to follow GOTA and HC to see what we have in store! Not only that, but Gallery of the Absurd will also have new art offerings and merchandise, and CandyKirby.com and HolyCandy.com will have even more goodies, such as celebrity personal ads and op-eds.
The only thing we enjoyed more than our collaborations was our readers’ hilarious and insightful contributions — so thank you for that, and for joining our li’l adventure here at Circus Hour.
Hope you’ll continue to join the fun at GOTA and CandyKirby.
With love and laughter,
14, Candy & Bunky

Gee, I thought the publicity surrounding the Ashlee Simpson pregnancy “mystery” was confusing, but THIS publicity tug-o-war takes the cake:
Yale University student Aliza Shvarts’s abortion art project – for which she claims she artificially inseminated herself “as often as possible” and then induced miscarriages with abortion drugs over a 9-month period — sparked waves of outrage yesterday before the university announced that “the entire project is an art piece, a creative fiction designed to draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.”
T-shirt opportunity: My parents paid for an Ivy League education and all I got were these lousy faked abortions!
However, Aliza is not playing along. She told The Yale Daily News that she did inseminate herself, but that her project “did not consist of certainties” like medical tests to prove whether she was pregnant before she took “abortifacient herbs.” In reply, Yale released yet another statement to the newspaper saying that she’s determined never to reveal the hoax, as it would compromise her work.
Aliza may be working on her B.A. in Art, but sounds like she is already armed with B.S. Donald Trump, we’ve found your next protégé!

Don’t worry, Cruz. I’ve given that “word” to a few people in L.A., myself — usually while being cut off by a Land Rover on the 405.

Forget Thomas the Tank Engine or Green Eggs and Ham — there’s a NEW fun children’s book hitting the shelves:
My Beautiful Mommy — out on Mother’s Day — teaches kids why their mother, who apparently isn’t beautiful now, is having plastic surgery.
“The kids have questions,” author and (shocker) plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer told Newsweek.
My Beautiful Mommy is about a mother who gets a tummy tuck, breast implants and a nose job. No word on why that’s all she’s getting. Seems a little too subtle to me.
“You see, as I got older, my body stretched and I couldn’t fit into my clothes anymore,” the character explains. “Dr. Michael is going to help fix that and make me feel better.”
Yes, good thing her shirts will fit her nose now!
Salzhauer said while “parents generally tend to go into this denial thing” and “try to ignore the kids’ questions completely,” children are legitimately confused and worried.
Other possible children’s lines include:

Yes, it’s been a full two years since the spawn of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise made her much-talked-about-debut in this world. And while OK! magazine has an “exclusive” about her birthday party plans, only we have a look at some of the cards she’s received:
