Filed under: Pop Culture

MySpace co-founder Tom Anderson, “32,” is one of Cosmopolitan magazine’s “Fun Fearless Males” of 2008 — and he wants to be more than just your “friend,” ladies!

Tom tells the magazine that he’s dated some of the women on his site, noting that:

“It’s very unobtrusive. If they don’t want to write back, they can delete it or just ignore it. And it’s way less pressure than going up to someone in person and hitting on them, which I always thought was kind of rude.”

Trolling for punani on his own site where personal info is stored …

Political pundit Karl Lagerfeld imparts his wisdom on the primary race:

“My favorite is Ms. Clinton because you have no real idea what she is wearing. She is so clever and so brilliant that you see only her face — but also what she wears is right, you never really look at it because one is fascinated by her intelligence. But there is never a gimmick or bad detail either.”

Stay tuned for next week, when Giorgio Armani discusses the impact that Rudy Giuliani’s sweater vests could have on national security!

If you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift for that loved one who already eats coal and poops out diamonds, Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid has just the thing to add to their repertoire: the Gold Pill. Yup, it’s a pill dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat gold leaf to make your excrement extra sparkly! You’re supposed to eat it “to increase your self-worth” — although, at $425 a poop pop, it will detract from your overall worth.

Why do I get the feeling Diddy has “Gold …

Filed under: Pop Culture

In today’s news that makes me feel slightly less guilty about my 22-lb. cat, this adorable eight-month-old baby boy and mini-Michelin Man (I mean that in the sweetest way) in Jilin, Northeast China weighs more than 40 pounds. Although he only weighed about 7 pounds when he was born, his parents tell my favorite newspaper, the Daily Mail, that he starting putting on extra weight when he was one month old.

His mother nurses him more than 20 times a day because he often feels hungry. (Note to his mother: Might help …

Best.  Wedding.  Dance.  Ever.

Filed under: General Musings, Pop Culture

What I want to know is: How can I score an invite to a wedding like this?

I always get stuck fake-smiling at the kinds of receptions where the couple decides to use the first dance as an opportunity to show off their freshly-learned, awkwardly choreographed ballroom dance moves, compounded with no-shots-allowed-bars and the local all-dad band that covers songs such as Genesis’ “I Can’t Dance” or, better yet, “La Vida Loca.” (Definitely need tequila shots in order to dance to either of those songs.)

Thanks to Rashid for …

PETA members protested outside the British Embassy in D.C. yesterday — wearing little more than body-painted flags of their respective countries — to express their disapproval of the Queen’s Guards’ bearskin hats.

The Jolly Green Pervert, however, just showed up to check out the chicks’ asses.

Just when you thought Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon had a lock on Most Romantic Wedding of 2007, along comes a story that not only blows theirs out of the water — but also makes you feel like falling in love all over again.

An Indian man known as Mr. Selvakumar has married a female dog, believing the union will help him atone for stoning two other dogs to death… *SOB*…

Sorry, I’m already getting weepy. Let me get …
