Be honest now, what do you think of Miss USA’s chances in this year’s contest? I really don’t think her heart is in it - her costume suggests that she would much rather be participating in something way more prestigious and well-loved, like a Victoria’s Secret fashion show.
Happy Birthday Solange Knowles! You’re certainly looking…radiant. What’s that you say? Your mother and sister picked out your birthday outfit? In that specific colour? Ah, the shoes as well! They also did your hair and nails, you say? And even made sure not to outshine you by wearing drab ill-fitting clothes? I see. Have you thought about running away and joining a pack of hyenas? They would make much more trustworthy family members you know.

Congratulations to blaugrau for a masterful 7 out of 10! We are duly impressed by your mad deductive skills in relation to paparazzi smackdowns. As your reward you may enjoy this classic footage of Bjork at Bangkok Airport and thank the heavens above you haven’t gotten on her wrong side (yet).
Her advisers must be of the “sashay softly and carry a big stick” school of thought. Not the most scrupulous approach but a well-timed swing could wipe out all those wimps dressed in nothing but feathered headdresses. And if all else fails, it would still make a great Pepsi commercial, yes?
She may be living in the lap of luxury but this is the face of a woman who has known incredible hardship and suffering, and is fully conversant with the grim reality of Donald Trump in his birthday suit.
Steve Guttenberg wants your answers, and he wants them now even if it means having to savagely beat them out of you. But Steve is also merciful and is not above dropping hints like 100 pound anvils on your head:
1. Three of the females have been romantically linked to the same guy
2. One is a fashion icon, another is a pretend fashion icon
3. One was protecting his pregnant wife
4. One is married to an Oscar winner, another was married to an Oscar winner
5. Two are throwing food items
6. Five are musicians
Say what you will about Courtney Love and her cadaverous bearing, but at least she has the good sense to let herself be driven home once she’s had her fill of partying and human blood.
This week we invite you to bring out your most prying set of lenses for the theme of ”When Celebrities Attack!”. Study the montage below (click for a bigger version) and see if you can guess who these ten paparazzi-pummeling celebrities are.
Answers will be put up on Wednesday morning. In the meantime I will be charging forth at random camera-wielding tourists and bludgeoning them with great gusto.
