Thanks to everyone who’s joined 14 and me on our new venture at Circus Hour this week. The response has been overwhelming and heartwarming thus far. Here’s a celebratory TGIF toast to you — and to much more fun to come!
Russell Crowe takes the family shopping in Beverly Hills — along with dozens of staring passersby. Looks like… fun. [Celebrity Baby Scoop]
Patrick Dempsey is Milan’s Versace man. But he’ll always be the Candy man to me. [PopSugar]
Star magazine imagines the “perfect” faces using celebrity body parts. If that’s the case, give me “imperfect,” any day. [popbytes]
Aaron Carter busted for marijuana possession. And in future news, Aaron Carter checks into rehab and asks us to “respect his privacy during this difficult time.” [Celebrity Dirt]
Tori Spelling dishes the behind-the-scenes 90210 dirt in new book. Because that Inn Love money won’t last forever… or through the month. [Gabby Babble]
Ne-Yo arrested and, more importantly, balding. [POTP]
The full-length Sex and the City trailer. Otherwise known as “what Candy is going to watch on repeat this weekend.” Because I’m cool like that. [Celebrity Smack]

Match made in Heaven. Love you both. Maybe more love for 14, since she’s a brunette.

That bumper sticker was an instant classic. Brilliant.

14 - those bumper stickers were just made for Cafe Press; I’m sure they’d sell a bundle at Bar Mitzuvah/Mitzuvat’s, Anti-Defamation League fundraisers etc. Being a stiff-upper-lip Brit I rarely gush but I must on this occasion. Your work is amazing and all the friends and co-workers I have sent this way or to your old site agree. I have no idea how you manage to be so prolific with your work and yet achieve such technical quality and depth of wry humour. I love the originality and nuance in your non-celebrity work as well. Your talent is awesome (meant in the Oxford Dictionary sense of the word not the slang sense). I honestly believe that your work will be frequently cited in the future as THE illustrations that captured the social/cultural essence of the early 21st Century. (or Signs of the Apocalypse as Candy would less pompously and more amusingly put it LOL).

I LOVE the combo that is Candy/14 or 14/Candy, however you want to slice it. You two together is like having DOUBLE hot fudge on a sundae, but with no guilt! Mmmmmm, thanks!
Oh yeah, that ‘Sex and The City’ movie trailer is proof that going to PAY to see this in a movie theatre is a waste of money. It was better left finished as a cable series and NOT resurrected for the big screen.

I correctly called the 14 & Candy team up weeks ago. I want a cookie. Damn it, give me a cookie! Or at least a pat on the back.

Thanks, guys. The love is mutual!
It’s British Bitch — I second that.
Dr. L — Blondes need love, too. We also need help alphabetizing a bag of M&Ms, but don’t hold that against us.

Yeah what’s that about, Dr. L… do brunettes deserve more love than blondes? Or do you feel that brunettes need more love? I’ve been a bit puzzled over that statement.

Candy, you are the most clever wit. Don’t change a thing. You have made me laugh so much in the last ten days, I just need to know where to send the check. As in, I owe you bigtime.

Dr. L posted a very nice comment in response. Unfortunately, as some of you may have noticed, we’re experiencing some technical difficulties that are causing some comments to disappear into the ether. Because of the great traffic (woo-hoo!), we’ve already had to change servers. Should be resolved within a couple of hours!
UPDATE: COMMENT ADDED ABOVE
