As we've done before, Tracy and I are debating some of the very, very important celebrity issues we disagree on. Today's topic? Gwyneth Paltrow's new W cover, on stands August 17th.
Suzy: I laughed when I read your entry about Gwyneth's sexy W cover. You said:
"I never thought Gwyn was anything to write home about, she was more Plain Jane to me than Hot Hollywood Beauty, but she's sexin' it up a bit... Girl's all tan and glowy, rocking a pouty mouth. I dig the new look."
After all her years of being a fashion trendsetter, as the envy of millions with that pin straight CBK hair and dating some of the world's most eligible bachelors (hello, Brad Pitt), now is the very first time you see her as a "Hollywood beauty"?
Tracy: I always thought she was overrated. Designer clothes would just hang on her pencil-thin frame (which you can't see much of in this photo, thankfully), and just because she's dated some of Hollywood's hottest men -- which, again, I will never understand -- that still didn't make her hot in my eyes. Gwyn is usually just so vanilla. And, finally, on the W cover, she actually showed some pizzazz. Some sprinkles, if you will.
Suzy: Pardon my nastiness for a moment, but don't you think she kinda looks like... a man? I know it says "Goddess Gwyneth" in big letters under the photo, but I'm wondering if it's someone dressed up as her. In fact, it looks like a gentleman I saw on the 2 train the other night. I know there's no Adam's apple, but magazines are big on the airbrushing.
Tracy: Now back it up a minutes, I never said Gwyneth looked pretty, but I do think the tan, goddessy look is different and sexier than her "I'm so boring" look of old -- even if it is "man-sexy."
Suzy: Let's agree to disagree, but I'll leave you with the words of two wise women known as Salt and Peppa: "Whatta man, whatta man, whatta mighty fine man."
Tracy and I are debating again. The topic this time? Larry Birkhead selling photos of his reunion with Dannielynn to OK! magazine...
Suzy: Let's talk about Larry Birkhead. How predictable that Malibu Ken is on the cover of OK! He's had the kid for a week and already he's making major bucks off of her.
Tracy: Maybe after all the speculation about who the real daddy was Larry's just thrilled and wanting the world to know it. I think he deserves a little love after all he's been through.
Suzy: He does deserve a little love... but does he deserve a big, fat paycheck? If it was merely about love, then he would have posed for People or Us Weekly, the celebrity weeklies that don't pay for their stories. OK! dropped a reported $3 million for Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's wedding photos -- and they're a pretty lame couple! You know that Papa Larry got about $5 mill... and he's currently figuring out how he's gonna spend it.
Tracy: You're so cynical. Maybe Dannielynn will have the most fantastic nursery ever and her backyard will be like Disneyland -- and then she'll still have money to go to an Ivy league school. Let's wait and see how it all goes down before we jump to conclusions, this could just be a severe case of daddy's little girl syndrome.
Suzy: Or maybe she'll be raised by nannies while daddy chases after fake boobied women and she'll grow up to be daddy's little screwed up girl. At this point it looks like it could go either way.
Just like last month, Tracy and I will be debating some of the things we disagreed on this month. Read our back and forth, then tell us what you think. First up? Avril Lavigne...
Suzy: Worse than last month's obsessive love of Will Smith, this time it was your love of Avril "the Spitter" Lavigne. You love her? Really? Personally, I think she should be banished from the music world for mispronouncing rock legend David Bowie's name when she read the Grammy nominations. Then again, it's not like she's truly a musician... she's more of a lip-syncing little troll.
Tracy: Give me break! In a world of pop music tartlets, Avril is one chick who has her head on straight. She does what she wants and makes no apologies -- I find that admirable. She's managed to have a successful career without slutting around Hollywood and is, spitting aside, a strong role model for young girls.
Suzy: Check out this lovely collection of photos -- all pics of that twit totally intoxicated. Boozing, nuzzling other girls, flipping the bird, falling over... I don't know who your role models are, but I seriously question how this untalented urchin can make your list.
Tracy: She an of-age girl hanging with her friends - and in not one of those photos is her cooter uncovered. But I guess it's hard for you to see clearly when you spend all your time in the convent, Sister Suzy.
Suzy: Yes, my child, I do. And I spend most of my time praying that you'll come to your senses about Avril.
As mentioned, Tracy and I will be debating some of the hot gossip that we disagreed on this month. For example -- the fact that Tracy thinks Gisele is skanky and how I think Will Smith is too much of a goodie-goodie. Today's topic? Britney. Let's just dive in...
Suzy: Now for Britney... I wish you'd be harder on the girl. I know she's in the midst of a very public meltdown, but don't you think she brought these problems upon herself? Who told her to marry scummy boyz? Have two kids and have someone else raise them? She had it all -- fame, fortune a cute boyfriend, hair -- and threw it all away. I like the girl -- I do. But I just don't feel bad for the predicament she's in. Famous or not, in life you have to surround yourself with exceptional people. People who know you inside and out and genuinely want the best for you and will watch your back. You've had the same posse since high school/college, so I'm sure you can see my point. How did things get so far outta control? She needs to fire her employees, family members and friends.
Tracy: Oh, Britney! To be honest, I just feel like how much more can anyone say about her? And I guess I'm a softie when I see someone get so slammed by everybody in the world. Don't get me wrong, I fully enjoy participating in ragging on stupid antics of celebrities, but sometimes I can't help but reach a saturation point. She's a wacko with tons of problems right now, no doubt, but that sentimental (or wimpy, you choose) part of me wants her to get it together and make a huge comeback. Psssst! I even want her to get back with J.T. Shhh...
Suzy: Beats the hell outta K-Fed! But let's just let her get her hair back first.
As mentioned yesterday, Tracy and I will be debating some Hollywood gossip issues that we didn't agree on this month. Like what? Well, like the fact that Tracy called my girl Gisele a skank. A skank! Isn't that a term reserved for Paris Hilton and her peeps? Anyway, today's topic is Will Smith. Tracy is jiggy with Big Willie. I find him too much of a goodie-goodie bore. Here, we duke it out Blabber style...
Tracy: Now, about Will Smith. How could you possibly disagree with me on his hotness? The man is a gift from God and having it all certainly agrees with him. With talent up the wazoo, adorable offspring and a wife that adores him, Big Willie Style is the total package. I certainly wouldn't kick him out of bed -- or off the couch, or the kitchen table... um, sorry, whatever. If you think differently I'd like to hear your crazy reasoning.
Suzy: You know what it is? The Pinkett-Smiths bore me. Just once I want to hear Will drop the f-bomb in one of his songs -- or take a role in which he plays a beer swiggin', adulterous jerk. Instead everything is peachy keen perfection and a cynical gossipeur like myself just doesn't buy that. Truthfully, I think there's something going on between the Smiths and Cruises. What do they have in common? It's quite suspicious. I think the Pinkett-Smiths have been sipping the Kool Aid.
Now that there are officially two Blabber-ers -- well, two and a half with our beloved Lindsey -- Tracy and I thought it would be fun to go head to head on some of our differing opinions. Then you guys can weigh in and tell me I'm the one who is totally right who you agree with.
Suzy: So you called Gisele a skank this month and caught some crap for it from the supermodel lovers. I have to agree with them, I really don't think Gisele is skanky. She dated Leo for like five years and Tom Brady has been her only big boyfriend since. It's not her fault Tom stuck and ducked Bridget Moyahan. I blame him. Besides, if Gisele is a skank, how do you describe Paris Hilton and the members of her posse like Kim Stewart and the new sex tape queen Kim Kardashian? Skank city, friend.
Tracy: Point taken. Those other names you dropped (Paris, Kim S. and K.K.) are from the superslut category --there's a difference. Anyway, Gisele walks around like her doo-doo doesn't smell like poo-poo, and that annoys me. Whether or not Tom is to blame in this whole baby fiasco is null and void. I'd just love to see Gisele get dumped and knocked down off her very high, supermodel horse.
