The Gossip Rag: Celebrity life, photos, gossip, and news

It’s not a good sign when sites like Sarah Jessica Parker Looks Like A Horse start to appear near the premier of your TV to Movie HBO series, but yet they are useful harbingers of things to come. The first warning sign, it was soon followed by a piece from the New York Time, The Girls Are Back in Town, which calls the movie a “terrible tumble:”

The show is just too old to go on

“Sex and the City” delivered the television goods for six seasons, no small thing in the pop culture annals. That should have been enough or at least plenty for all concerned, but Ms. Parker apparently felt compelled to go big screen, making good on a project that had started to come together in 2004, only to fall apart over money issues and Ms. Cattrall’s reluctance to climb aboard. I wish Ms. Parker had let that bee in her bonnet go silent, because the movie that she and Mr. King have come up with is the pits, a vulgar, shrill, deeply shallow — and, at 2 hours and 22 turgid minutes, overlong — addendum to a show that had, over the years, evolved and expanded in surprising ways.

Starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall, the movie adaptation Sex and the City is rated R for strong sexual content, graphic nudity and language. On Metacritic, it has achived a low 54% from critics, and 46% from fans. My recommendation? Find a classic romance.

The next Star Wars movie will be completely CG-animated. Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which opens in movie theaters Aug. 15, will deal with another sort of epic battle between the cloned forces of evil and the Jedi Knights. The official site is lacking any real information about the movie, except this movie poster:

So, the art looks good, but will it be another Lucasfilm flop?

There’s a new product out for girls who want celebrity sexy lips, and it comes in a classy container guaranteed to impress:

Unlike other products on the market that sting and irritate, Celebrity sexy lip plumper claims to draw moisture into your lips, enriching, nourishing, and filling them out. Now you can get Angelina Jolie style lips without having to spend thousands of dollars on plastic surgery, pain and suffering. Too good to be true? Celebrity sexy lips boasts endorsements from E!, VH1, the Oxygen Network, Extra, and OK magazine.

Just looking at this lip gloss, it seems a bit nicer than the ones you get from Victoria’s Secret or other fashion stores, like Sephora, where the lip glosses are heavy, thick, and shiny, almost like putting metal paste on your delicate lips. Celebrity sexy lip plumper looks delicate, translucent, a clear coating of shine and fullness. If you’re worried about wearing too much makeup and not looking natural, this lip gloss might be the solution you need.

The secret of this lip plumper, according to a forum post I saw, is Atelocollagen, tiny, dehydrated, marine collagen micro spheres that are instantly absorbed by the lips, and seek out the body’s natural moisture. As soon as the spheres become re-hydrated, they plump and hold onto the moisture they’ve collected, creating a mild swelling of the lip tissue. The result is fuller, smoother, perfectly plumped lips in seconds.

Bored Shopping says, “The best thing about the Celebrity Sexy Lip Plumper is that it is not created with celebrities in mind but for ordinary women like you and me.” I’m a man, so I couldn’t say it .

According to US Magazine, the marriage between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is an elaborate sham setup by Scientologists. This comes from Andrew Morton’s new book, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography, which comes out tomorrow, full of juicy secrets.

What kind of juicy secrets? Well first, confirmation about Katie Holme’s wedding to Cruise being controlled by Scientology: “Morton claims Cruise had Holmes sign a document before they started dating that allowed ‘Scientologists full control over her life’.” This is probably not a secret they would kill to keep safe, as it simply involves that Holmes “must never use psychiatric care or psychiatric drugs.”

Additionally, Morton’s book validates the claim that Katie Holmes is under a $3,000,000 a year salary via prenup for her marriage with Cruise. Of course, the Church of Scientology claims that “Ms. Holmes never signed any agreement.”
