That Sour Apple Pucker

Allison Harvard in a striking pose.

Allison Harvard is known for her big eyes and small but pouty mouth.

If you’re a model like Allison Harvard of America’s Next Top Model, a small but pouty mouth can be a pretty big asset.  A winning asset.  A signature asset.

However, microstomia, a congenital or acquired defect in which the mouth is unusually small, can do more than cause a downward turn in the quality of one’s life.

Do Re Mimi For So Lotta Dough

Mariah Carey named new American Idol judge!

Fans can probably thank American Idol judge Randy Jackson, who is also Mariah's manager, for the successful negotiations.

The magic that is Mariah Carey has inked a deal with American Idol in an amount, reportedly, climbing the scales toward 20 do-re-mi-mi-million dollars.  Excuse the stutter, but those are enough C-notes to bribe a songbird or a sitting judge.

Unfortunately, the Pop and R&B diva, who regularly sticks her fingers in her ears whenever she hits high notes (even in bed hubby Nick Cannon affirms) may have a legitimate cause to do so in the coming episodes.  It’s American Idol’s own fault though that the honey-coated vocals will be forced to sit idle through so many bad notes and worse singing.  Hitting Paula Abdul with a “Straight up, now tell me?  Did you really think we’d love you forever?” is what started this game of musical chairs in the first place.

“Whatcha Gon Do, Kissy?”

Bob, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Hmmm, what to do? What to do?

I was just sitting on the plantation—I mean, porch.  I was just rocking in my rocking chair, watching the trees sway in the breeze, and reminiscing about the ancestors.  In the middle of sipping on some tea-flavored sugar—I mean, sweet tea—I thought I heard a distant murmur.  Lo and behold, there were voices.  Almost familiar, they were the voices of Toya’s family from BET’s Toya: A Family Affair whispering, like the wind through the trees, around me.

What Goes Around . . .

Demi and Ashton in bed.These days actress Demi Moore must be feeling as if she got punked.  But a second marriage failing need not mean that she is a failure.  The fatal failure occurred well before the second marriage—at the point of deciding to marry Ashton Kutcher instead of just playing with him—like playmates do—in the sandbox. 

 “That old lady stole my boyfriend!” 

This is Brittany Murphy.

"That old lady stole my boyfriend!"

When Brittany Murphy, like a bereaved daughter crying out to her father, made that public confession to David Letterman, we knew that, as young as she was, those hurt puppy dog eyes could see that a cougar was no more than an old horny fool with a Peter Pan complex.

Ode to Bobby Brown

Bobby Brown sings!

"Tell me, tell me why can't I live my life? Don't be cruel..."

Hell to the yes,
My life is blessed.
Then tell me,
Tell me why,
Can’t I live my life?
Media darling, princess wife.
One crooked smile?
Smiled sparingly?
Is that too much to ask
Of an ex-“troubled spouse” like me?

Don’t be cruel,
Don’t be cruel,
I would never be that cruel to you.
Ray Jay singin’ them little boy blues.
No shame in my game,
Jersey girl, true.
He ain’t the only one,
And I-E-I will always love you, too.

It’s Over . . . For Now

Heidi Klum and Seal announce their separation.

Heidi and Seal won't be renewing their vows this year.

Like a shadow without sunlight, velvety smooth singer Seal and his lovely Supermodel wife want us to believe that it’s all over.  They’re separating.  They want us to believe that the couple that renews its marriage vows each and every year is truly neurotic and unsure of its love, and that kind of love could never last . . . 

The timing could not be more perfect.  Soon, Seal will be going on tour to sell his new CD—and the fantasy of being with him—to lonely women all over the world.

I’m still not sure if Usher is really divorced.  Don’t you wish that people would grow up emotionally and love their favorite artist whether he has a hot wife or not?

Michael Jordan Falling Into Marriage Trap, Again

Michael Jordan and Yvette Prieto

Counting his other "wife" of ten years, this may actually be Michael Jordan's third marriage.

Michael Jordan proposed to longtime Cuban American girlfriend Yvette Prieto over the Christmas holiday weekend.  The couple has been together for over three years.  Jordan, owner of the Bobcats, and New York Yankee baseball player Derek Jeter attended a Bobcat game in Charlotte, North Carolina on December 26, 2011.  The following morning, Jordan, his model fiancée, the serial dater Derek Jeter and sweetheart du jour fled the country on MJ’s private G4 set for a South of France cruise on a private yacht for presumably a private celebration.  But should they have?
