Busy last week of September

Oooo, so many goodies, so little time.  Let's kick this week right off with a look at GQ's Men's Fall Trend Report:

The only thing missing from GQ's Men's Fall Trend Report is the MEN!  Why do men on runways and in print ads look like underfed women with bad hair cuts?  For the last time, skinny pants have no place in a straight man's wardrobe!  (Gay guys, you keep right on rockin' these- they look better on you than they do on women!).  And pink tennis shoes?  Please see previous remarks about straight vs. gay men's wardrobes.   

Camel is not a great color on anyone, but until Angelina Jolie quits cramming it down our throats, we're stuck with it.  It is especially not good on a. men and b. in a man's trenchcoat.  The only thing to be grateful for here is that this guy is actually wearing tennis shoes, and not Angelina's famous camel Christian Louboutin pumps. 

Those of us who are old enough to remember Happy Days see these ties and think of when Mrs. Cunningham bought too much material for her curtains and made tablecloths, an apron and a wardrobe for the whole family out of the leftovers.  For this generation, we'll just say Fat Bastard called and wants his ties back.

What the hell is happening here?  Is this guy wearing really bad extensions or is his collar eating his neck?  We didn't like this hairstyle when Michelle Williams did it, we like it even less here.  If this is what we have to look forward to for men's fall fashions, there's going to be a lot of women looking in the other direction until winter.









It's just Patti

 Patti Stanger of Millionaire Matchmaker got busted this week for making disparaging comments about gay men and Jewish men.  I only have two questions about this “headline.”  Why is anyone offended by what this woman says?  If we are watching a show with her on it, we know she is going to say outrageous things.  If we don’t like it, we always have the option of CHANGING THE CHANNEL.  Secondly, I guess I thought it was an unspoken rule that you can make fun of your own.  Isn’t it okay to make fun of a Jewish gay man if you are one?  I love Patti, but sometimes I wonder if she’s the real-life version of SNL’s “It’s just Pat” or in this case, “It’s just Patti.”

Kim Delaney was cordially dis-invited off stage after fumbling through a speech at an event to honor former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.  This is dee-liscious.  Afterward, the standard “The teleprompter was broken” excuse was issued.  Uh-huh.  Something was broken here, and it wasn’t the teleprompter. At least her Ron Burgundy-esque blunder didn’t end with, “Go f*** yourself Philadelphia.”   I feel a little dirty mocking those who have clearly de-railed in such a spectacular way, almost like it’s too easy or something??  So I’m going to make myself feel better by saying if you have ever flopped in a public speaking endeavor, this is for you:

This is my favorite headline from this week:

Breaking News...Tom Brady gets a haircut

What's breaking news about this story, is not that Tom Brady got a haircut.  What is noteworthy about this headline is WHY Tom Brady got a haircut.  He got tired of being asked if he was Suzie Orman and Kevin Bacon's lovechild:
