Given the depressing state of celebrity news over the past few days, we must turn to the always effervescent Dolly Parton to lighten the mood:

Country legend DOLLY PARTON refuses to conform to contemporary fashion trends - because she’s happiest when dressed like “a whore”. The 9 To 5 star - who has admitted having extensive cosmetic surgery - believes her trashy image is the secret to her successful career. The 62-year-old says, “People know I have no taste, no style, no class. If I have any class it’s all low. A cartoon character is how I see myself and it’s worked for me for 40 years. “Even after I got enough money where I could afford to dress properly, what kind of fun would that be? Hell, they know I look like a whore. No matter how much I spend or how I dress, I’m still gonna look cheap.”

This coming from someone who remembers to put on underwear and not leave it hanging out the back of her dress, keeps her bosomly charms safely reined in, abstains from wearing ripped or stained clothing and is selective about the quality of her wigs. You ain’t fooling us one bit, you sassy classy lady.

It’s the Battle of the Blonde-Wigged Receptacles for Perfect Genes! While the rumours tend to fly thick and fast about these two, this much is certain - one has a bun in the oven while the other is gradually amassing a baker’s dozen.

As someone who lives in a sparsely furnished (you never know when creditors catch up and you’ll have to move in the middle of the night) shoebox in a high-density high-rise city, I have become utterly fascinated by Manolo for the Home.   So many interesting ideas and images - I look forward to each new post with the eagerness of an untrained rottweiler.  Yes, one day I will have a freestanding house with the ultimate luxury item - a lawn - and maybe I too will know what it means to “have a porch put in” or ”convert the attic” or “repave the driveway”.  If you haven’t done so already, get thee to this newest blog of Manolo’s stable.

But first, cast your eye over the montage of familiar looking residences below and tell me which tv show characters call them home.  Answers will be put up on Thursday morning.

Living in Texas and not liking football is like living in a church but not liking Jesus.

I do not like football. I will sit through it in the course of say, Friday Night Lights which is the Greatest Show on Broadcast Television, mostly because football is a hot guy delivery device and frankly, there isn’t a whole lot I won’t sit through to watch Kyle Chandler squint at something, clench his manly jaw and then grumble sweet nothings about about responsibility, team work and the ill-advisedness of showing up to practice drunk (I am personally glad The Manolo is not so strict).

This, however, is excellent…

Poor Hitler.

Brain activity continues to be erratic, subject displays difficulty with verbal expression, poor emotional control also exhibited, overall no improvement in his condition.  In conclusion - yep, still crazy.

Did you get that memo about today being the single most depressing day of the year? Oh but surely it’s nothing that a wave of your credit card can’t fix! Here are a few things to get you through this difficult time and any other time you feel the Monday morning blues:

The Blue Day Book ($9.95)

The Blues Brothers: Original Soundtrack Recording ($12.97) and Blues Brothers 2000: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren ($14.99-$46.99)

UglyDoll Bop N’ Beep Blue 12-Inch ($19.99)

Hues N Brews Blue Mugs with Coasters ($48.95)

Furla turquoise ‘Lovers’ double french wallet ($81)

Sky Blue Unlined Italian Leather Gloves ($87)

Kenneth Cole Reaction Knot Waist Shirtdress ($139)

Sony Cybershot DSCW55 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom ($164.99)

Nanette Lepore Hollywood Satin Wrap Blouse ($185.90)

It must be terribly exciting but at the same totally exhausting being Keira Knightley. Rushing from movie set to red carpet premiere to talk show interview to magazine photoshoot.  No time to wash her hair! No time to cover those dark circles under her eyes! No time to apply lipstick! Worst of all, no time to tell Monsieur Lagerfeld what she really really thinks about his blasted denim quasi-epaulettes!

This might be fine and dandy for a shopping day out on Melrose Avenue, but it’s certainly not going to pass muster for a stint at the morgue. Can I suggest something a little more appropriate to demonstrate that you appreciate the gravity of the situation?
