· An "intimate upfront...at Soho house" unveiled Oxygen's new tagline ("live out loud," whatever that means), as well as their new logo ("the black, lower-case 'oxygen' inside the yellow letter 'O,' which is tilted to one side"). Save it for your iVillage blog, Zucker. [Variety]

Oh, Cameron. I yearn for the day you accept your age and start starring opposite appropriately aged leading men. Like Woody Allen.

Oxygen's new tagline ("live out loud,"...

Does Richard LaGravenese know about this? Because if the Red Hot Chili Peppers can get their knickers in a knot about "Californication," RL certainly can for the copping of the title of his directorial debut by Lifetime Part Deux cable network.

Why is it I already know 'Vegas' will suck and also not make any money, yet I'm not running a studio? Who said yes to this junk?

I have no faith in humanity. I believe this country is filled with a bunch of mouth-breathing yokels who don't even know how to finish the sentence "What happens in Vegas...".
They will probably go to see this movie in droves unless there is a big Nascar race this weekend.

Playing the same kind of character, no doubt.

It's because they can't wait to see how the *sentence* ends.

@heidiho: right, because male stars never have obscenely younger female cohorts in their movies.

@bess marvin, girl detective: But the lack of healthy fats in her diet has aged her so! I think they're actually the same age...quick IMDB check...oh wait, she's 6 years older. He's 30? Bullshit!

Anyway. She looks like she needs a sandwich.

"Starring Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz..."

Thus reads my suicide note.
