Angelina Jolie Watch

According to OK!, both Shiloh and Suri are expecting big sisters later on this year.

I didn’t know that Katie Holmes was expecting?! I guess time will tell. Just Jared says J.Lo fetched $6 million for pics of her uber cute twins.

Bonnie Fuller, American Media Editorial Director said, “If J.Lo really did get $6 million, then I think Angelina can now command $8 million. The magazines must look at it as a long-term investment, but I think it’ll cap out at a certain point. [But] I can’t think at this point who could command more money than Brangelina.�?

Neither can I. Although I have read that celebrity baby photos aren’t paying off like they used to. Most magazines are buying them just to keep the competitions from having the pictures which I really don’t understand. Perhaps they think that a cheaper magazine paying less money will give the competition a leg up.

Of all the things for people to have problems with in this world, a group of linguistics at the Lake Superior State University in Michigan officially “hates” the habit we have of combining celebrity names, ala TomKat and Brangelina. The group has announced that the combining of celebrity names is “so lame and pathetic that it’s “lamethetic”.

Pot, please meet the kettle.

Apparently, every year ‘these guys’ announce a list of words they want banned from the English Dictionary. This years list, “Lake Superior State University’s annual list of words banished “for mis-use, over-use and general uselessness” (Which comes with my commentary just for extra joy and excitement):

• Gitmo - Guantanamo Bay is a little long for bumper stickers, don’t you think? Is this the only university in the history of schools that doesn’t have an acronym?
• Combined celebrity names - But where would we be without FedEx, TomKat, TomKitten and our own beloved Brangelina?
• Awesome - This one is getting a little old
• Gone/went missing - As apposed to location deficient?
• Pwn or pwned, a misspelling of “own” used by online video gamers - They lost me on this one… can they not find the O key?
• Now playing in theaters - What other options do you have?
• We’re pregnant - I’m not a mommy blogger, but I’m with them on this one… what part of “we” is pregnant?
• Undocumented alien - Is illegal… Illegal?
• Armed robbery/drug deal gone bad - A much nicer way to say “innocent people didn’t live”
• Truthiness - Hehehe
• Ask your doctor - Seems a vast improvement over “ask WebMd or your local chat forum”
• Chipotle - Restaurant or pepper?
• i-anything - Huh?
• Search - Search is a problem? Can I put Lake Superior State University in Michigan on the list of words we have problems with?
• Healthy food - Sounds better than “cooked in lard and laced with butter” to me
• Boasts - Again? I must repeat myself? Huh?

This completes the truthiness portion of today’s programming, we will now return to your regularly scheduled lamethetic programming.

According to Yahoo!, baby Shiloh is the #2 celebrity baby search of 2006, beat out only by Suri Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

Also on the list, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline, sons of Britney Spears and FedEx (#’s 3 & 4 respectively), Kingston Rossdale #5 (Gwen Stefani), David Banda #6 (Madonna and Guy Richie’s adopted son from Africa), Moses Martin #7 (Gwyneth Paltrow), Grier Hammond Henchy #8 (little sister of Rowan Francis, parents Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy), the newest fruit of Donald Trumps loins, Barron William Trump at #9 , and last but not least #10 is Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, daughter of Anna Nicole Smith.
