The Scientologists ain’t got nothin’ on Oprah in terms of world domination…
Not content with dominating most every facet of media, Oprah Winfrey is now getting her own darn TV network, too.
Yes, Oprah, who wasn’t happy with her investment in Oxygen because “it didn’t reflect her vision at all,” is forming a 50-50 joint venture with Discovery Communications to launch the Oprah Winfrey Network — or OWN.
The real Queen of All Media will be chairman of the network and have “full editorial control,” with responsibility for programming, branding and creative vision.

My first order of business today is banishing that image of a hairy back from your minds, and replacing it with this sexy Rolling Stone cover featuring the suspiciously hairless Johnny Depp. Because that’s the kind of thoughtful blogger I am.
Shockingly, his interview does not include one mention of how he lost his virginity at 13. Usually, his talks go something like this:
REPORTER: So, how are you today, Johnny?
JOHNNY: Good, thank you. Almost as good as when I lost my virginity at 13.
Or…
REPORTER: Did you enjoy …

On the heels of their hard-hitting “appropriate teenage maternity wear” piece, People has tapped Facts of Life star and born-again Christian Lisa Whelchel for her thoughts on the Jamie Lynn Spears situation.
I don’t want to keep you in suspense, so… Lisa’s stance? Team Jamie!
“I’m so proud of her for stepping up and being courageous and taking responsibility for her choices, and I believe she’s being a good role model – a good role model in that situation, to choose to have the baby, and I am supportive of her in that situation,” said …

That bastion of feminism and healthy body portrayal, the Daily Mail, (why, just today they featured a hard-hitting investigation of Faye Dunaway’s “extremely veiny” hands) is such an inspiration that the Gallery of the Absurd and Holy Candy have joined forces to create a newspaper of our own: the Daily Nail. Bringing you the latest in unsightly flaws and signs of aging every day! Because we know you don’t want to miss a single wrinkle — especially when it happens to reside on Paul Dacre, the editor of the Daily Mail:…

Interesting observation, coming from an author who refers to so-called feminist killers, the Spice Girls, as “desperate mums-on-tour” trying to cling to their youth, in a newspaper that recently sniffed at Cindy Crawford’s “unsightly signs of motherhood” and sneered that Jennifer Love Hewitt — GASP! — suffers from cellulite. Oh, and how ’bout lamenting that, “Away from make-up and lighting trickery, the iconic sixties star [Twiggy] is unable to disguise her 58 years“? Egads! Get thee to a plastic surgeon’s office, Twiggy.
Gloria Steinem ain’t got nothin’ on the …

Christina Aguilera kicks off 2008 by posing naked on the January cover of Marie Claire, which is about as novel as Britney Spears flashing her baby maker to the paparazzi. In fact, Britney has done this cover before — as, of course, has Demi Moore — which is why we (meaning me and my cats) at Holy Candy have prepared a list of Top 10 Ways Christina Aguilera Could Have Made This Cover More Shocking:
10. Reveal that she’s not pregnant, just chunky
9. Actually wear a human-like amount of makeup
8. Announce …

Okay, how am I supposed to sleep after reading THIS?
Vanessa can’t tease me with this l’il nugget and expect me to be able to just move on with my life. I mean, will Sharpay wear a strapless dress or spaghetti straps? Will Gabriella pull a Donna Martin and get wasted on a glass of champagne, thereby getting her banned her from graduating from high school until the rest of the school holds a demonstration and the school board changes their minds?! (*CATCH BREATH AFTER RUN-ON SENTENCE HERE*) Most …
