“I Mean…What?!?” – Abe Gurko

Box Office Mojo reports, “It was Princesses over Persia among new releases, but the Middle Eastern desert romps generated such little heat that a relatively low-grossing Shrek movie topped them in its second weekend.” Ouch. Look, both Princess of Persia (as I like to call it) and Sex and the City Par Deux seemed so uninteresting, that no kidding they didn’t live up to the expectations of the Hollywood suites.  My friend Annie likes to say, ”Who wants to see a bunch of middle aged woman acting like they are still in their thirties, drinking and talking about sex.” Though… Read More »

Has anyone been following this Kirsten Dunst robbery court case that is currently under way? Could there be anything more ridiculous on Earth? First of all, this whole case is about a stolen bag from a hotel room. Why is this case in court? Was it a Birkin bag? Or, was it that new, Marc Jacobs “IT” bag? Did Kirsten wait months for the “IT” bag and just by nature of this being a case of the missing “IT” bag, does it heighten the relevance of this case? Is the “IT” bag guilty of stealing Kirsten Dunst’s title of “IT”… Read More »

Met Liv at the recent G-STAR show with her mom. They are the cutest. They sat front row and were totally accessible. Guess that makes her the best kind of spokesperson for the brand. Sure wish I could have been at the opening of the G-STAR Pop-Up Gallery, but I will settle for chillin’ by the pool in East Hampton…far from the madding crowd. Happy Memorial Day.… Read More »

While dilly-dallying this morning, I came upon a few people who were recently photographed that somehow fit into a nice neat box. A fotz box. Now, I know that not everyone can be a supermodel or Gwyneth Paltrow, who has been on more red carpets lately than…well…red carpets. I just thought there was a through line between these subjects and wanted to see them up on the IMW screen-a-tron. I can not quite put my finger on it…but there is a certain yenteh quality that these folks share.… Read More »

No matter that Lee Dewyze won…Crystal Bowersox is the winner of this season’s American Idol. Lee…sweet kid…nice voice….whatever. Crystal Bowersox….super star. Her duet with Alanis Morissette was beyond. We can expect Lee’s career to be like what’s his name’s from last year. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUXfnIZYG8Y… Read More »

Angelina Jolie is rumored to play the Wicked Witch of the West?!? Say it ain’t so. Don’t get me wrong, I love Angelina Jolie. I love her enough to tell her not to do this, as it is NOT the role of a lifetime. Gia was that for her. Forget about Angelina Jolie for a minute and let’s just discuss why anyone in Hollywood thinks they have what it takes to take on the challenge of remaking The Wizard of Oz. And please don’t tell me that Tim Burton wants to do it. Though he is brilliant and everything, his… Read More »

I am sequestered in a three-day digital Master Class called Hyper Island, where all day long we discuss every piece of digital minutia that there is to know about. Or better yet…what we WANT to know about. It seems like the digital universe if chock full of people like me trying their hand at grasping at straws. Sure, there are technical skills required to becoming a programmer, you know, those people who are really great at holding you hostage like terrorists. Well, it’s true. It is as though you give your first born up ever time you ask your programmer… Read More »

I never really read them, but today I was drawn to the Vows section of The New York Times Style as the main picture is a couple standing in from of the Statue of Liberty. At second glance, I saw that the couple standing in front of the Statue of Liberty was interracial. Boy, what a slap in the face to Tea Baggers everywhere. Naturally I clicked in for more details. Besides this wonderfully diverse storyline, each of the couples featured this week are entirely nontraditional. Kudos to The Times Style for making a statement in their otherwise traditional Muffy… Read More »

I Mean..What?!? loves a good best dressed list…but there’s nothing like the exact opposite to warm the cockles of  our heart. That and Suzy Menkes. Of all the film festivals…and there are millions these days because all you need is a Chamber of Commerce and ta-da…but I digress…the Cannes Film Festival is the one where fashion really matters most. Sure the films are important too, but there’s no red carpet other than the Oscars that commands such drama. Sorry Emmys and Golden Globes…get over yourselves. Anyhoo, I could not help noticing a few fashion faux pas from the AmFAR Benefit…probably… Read More »

Awww, poor baby. Skank got your tongue? And other similarly shaped parts? Jesse James sits down for an interview and surely he must feel remorse that his whole butch straight act is no looked at as a stupid, low rent, low class, nobody that lucked out. We’ve watched you from The Celebrity Apprentice through the Michelle Bombshell McGee debacle and the bottom line is….like every one of these skanks, you will rise from the ashes because the fact remains…Illicit Sex: The Stepping Stone to a Media Career. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5dscSiJyh8… Read More »
