The Best Bits From Last Night's Project Runway (spoiler alert)
• Diane von Furstenburg's entrance, gliding down that white staircase!
• Kenley crying every five minutes at the enormity of designing for DVF (pictured)
• Kenley fighting like a cornered cat against Heidi Klum to defend her simple dress, and then Heidi's pissed-off grimace when DVF said she liked it (pictured)
• Stella getting auf'ed. ABOUT TIME
• Nina's back next week!

Levi Johnston Gives the Finger to Bristol Palin

Last night we saw the hockey-loving kid who doesn't want kids holding hands with the girl he knocked up and who he will have to marry as they watched her mother deliver a speech at the RNC. And while we might have spotted her engagement ring if we were looking for it, we never could have noticed the tiny and unexpected "Bristol" tattooed on his commitment finger. That's what AP photographers and HuffPo are for.

Levi Johnston: Northern Disclosure
Huffington Post has an excerpt from the fuckin' diary Levi Johnston was keeping during the Republican convention, obtained by comedian Andy Borowitz. Here's a taste:
With all this crazy shit going on I didn't even like get a chance to talk to Bristol. I wanted to ask her how her summer was, shit like that, but every time I opened my mouth that McCain dude gave me another look like, "You say word one and I will rearrange your fuckin face you fuckin piece of hockey shit." So I don't say a fuckin thing.
Where's Track Palin?
Is the 19-year-old Palin son refusing to show for family portraits the way older Osbourne sib Aimee wanted nothing to do with her family's reality show?
The St James Version
Here are my thoughts on last night's 90210:
1. Rich-boy Ty Cobb, or Ty Collins or WHATEVER – definitely gay. Oh yeah. Big time. GAYGAYGAY. You heard it here first. I can smell the homo on that one, wafting down Sunset! And that HAIRDO! That is some SILLY-ASS SHIT! Obviously, the kind of hair some bougie studio executive THINKS a rich boy would have. In fact, that’s one of my chief problems with the show, in general. I don’t think anyone connected with the show has ever met a rich Beverly Hills brat, or been to a high school full of rich kids. The girls all looked like Sherman Oaks mall rats and the boys all looked like Jersey douchebags. Somebody please do a little recon to give the show some authenticity.
2. As for the alleged hotties in the cast, well there ain’t much to go on…. Black Brandon is totally too vanilla… Slutty heartthrob Ethan is hotter than the ads make him out to be, but still sort of "junior gigalo" for my tastes (it’s all in the eyebrows)… Persian slacker Navid has cute bangs but a weird underbite.... Then, as the barrel bottoms out, there’s that uberblonde gay porn-star type (who made out with Naomi at the Pit) who MIGHT do in a pinch, but I’d have to have done A LOT of poppers and crystal meth to go there. Which only leaves the quirky, blinky goofball teacher, Mr Matthews, to take up the mantle of hottest humpmokey in the cast… And old guys who shake are a tough sell in today's youth-oriented market. TRUST ME.
3. And FINALLY, Naomi Clark… groan. Why does every show have to have the obligatory teenage girl who looks 45? She’s HORRIBLE! And TACKY! Those clunky Coco Canal knock-off earrings, MY GOD! PUH-LEEZ! Would someone PLEASE just bring Pat Field in for a consultation with wardrobe for this girl, ASAP! I just don’t know if I can continue watching this tanjy-ass shit.

OMG, Shane Klingensmith!

Remember 13-year-old Shane Klingensmith from World of Wonder's Showbiz Moms and Dads series on Bravo? (Ahh, memories.) Not so little now, Shane is a strapping high-school senior old enough to make babies with a vice-presidential candidate's daughter. But instead, he'd like you to vote for him in the Glamor Shots 2008 High School Senior Photo Contest (HS Senior Males division). He's attending Stetson on a music scholarship (hence the Stetson), says his mom Debbie. We had a look at the other contestants in his division and, frankly, it's no contest. But, gee, they grow up so fast, don't they?
