Not sure if you’ve heard yet, as it’s been a low-key event (because Posh is a low-key kinda gal), but… the Beckhams have officially moved to the States. To commemorate their arrival, talented illustrator David from Pretty on the Outside whipped up this picture of the Beckhams showing off their, um, patriotism.

In fact, I had the pleasure of having brunch with David, as well as mk from popbytes and Sasha from Evil Beet, on Saturday. It was delightful to meet such sweet, supportive bloggers — not to mention …

Extreme Makeover:  The Holy Candy Edition

Filed under: General Musings

Astute readers may have noticed a few, um, “tweaks” to the site lately.

Welcome to Holy Candy 2.0. In addition to launching a new weekly(ish) video blog, “The Gospel According to Candy,” I’ve redesigned the site to make it more bright and cheery, just like the rays of sunshine that are my dear, loyal visitors. The rockin’ new altar where Tom now rests (hopefully, there will be no couch jumping incidents) is courtesy of brilliant celebrity satire artist, 14, at Gallery of the Absurd (with the remaining design by …

Hey, Holy Rollers… Thanks to some delightful spammers crashing my server with thousands of fascinating links about Viagra, “horny moms” and “teenage sex,” we’ve had to disable comments today. We’re currently working on getting it back up, BUT… everyone must now sign in before posting comments (if you’ve already registered on TypeKey on another blog, you’re good-to-go; if not, it only takes a few seconds — for real).

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Candy hearts spammers!

Too Cute

Filed under: General Musings

Holy Candy interrupts your regularly scheduled programming of nip slips and Lindsay Lohan hospitalization updates with a heartwarming tale of peace and love…

A baby hippopotamus that survived the tsumani waves on the Kenyan coast has formed an unlikely, strong bond with a giant male century-old tortoise, in an animal facility in the port city of Mombasa.

The hippo, nicknamed Owen, was swept down Sabaki River into the Indian Ocean, then forced back to shore when tsunami waves struck the Kenyan coast on Dec. 26, before wildlife rangers rescued him.

Hey, Holy Rollers — Sorry for the lack o’ news yesterday! I was traveling all day and unable to get online. I’m now in gorgeous Aruba where I have wireless access, so I’ll be providing the latest on Lindsay, Britney and Paris — as well as some actual celebrities — by the pool while sipping fruity umbrella drinks (rough life) for the next few days…

Where Is Dr. McDreamy When I Need Him?

Filed under: General Musings

Hey, Holy Rollers — After feeling worse than a Britney Spears hangover for a few days straight, I finally went to the doctor and found out I have shingles (which my mom was convinced only “older people” got, but apparently not so). Just in time for the holidays! Merry Christmas to me.

I’m going to do my best to power through it and keep you up-to-date on the latest in nip slips and bad fashion, but if my posts are more sporadic than usual, you’ll know why. Although I may post even more …
