I don’t usually like to admit to my own ignorance, but this is one of those rare moments in which I will do it publicly. Kidding. Well, sort of. The fact is, as an entertainment editor, you’re often confronted with very, very silly (OK, downright stupid) things stated by celebrities of all sorts. You’ll have to agree with me on this one – after a while, even laughing at Paris Hilton’s selfish narcissism and silliness loses its charm (well, sort of), and so you get to develop this thick armour of skepticism, that any worthy celebrity has to break through in order to impress you in any way. In this context, you can pretty much see why Hedi Klum had me all skeptical in the beginning, as I thought "oh, she’s just one of those gorgeous-looking models but I bet her head is completely empty".

I must admit, I’ve had a bit of a prejudice against Katherine Heigl ever since news got out about how she labeled "Knocked Up" as portraying women as silly, annoying idiots. You may agree with me when I say that it’s not a good thing to "bite the hand that feeds you", as it’s been pompously said over and over again – and no, it’s not the wisest move in the world to let everyone know you’re not thrilled with the movie that pretty much kick-started your career as a big screen siren. It’s true that Katherine was already widely famous for fronting the cast of the hugely popular "Grey’s Anatomy", but as so many other actors painfully found out, the leap from the small screen to the big screen is difficult (sometimes impossible) to make. But now, Katherine Heigl is officially a big-time box office actress, and many critics see her as the next Julia Roberts.

Keira Knightley hasn’t taken the stage and delighted us with her wonderful statements in a long time. Kidding. No, not about the fact that she pretty much vanished off the chart in the past months, but about her statements being in any way delightful. We all know that Keira – pretty much like Jessica Alba, her American counterpart as far as the annoyance factor is concerned – is constantly bitching and moaning about just how horrible her life is and about how she simply hates fame and constantly being in the spotlight. Oh, and let’s not forget the "moaning on aspects that have to do with her looks, especially her breasts". Well, this time, Keira decided to surprise us all, and talk about her (largely non-existent) breasts in terms that are not altogether as degrading as we’d expect.

If there’s one thing I learned ever since I first took an interest in the celebrity world (which happened a very long time ago), it’s that one should never, EVER trust the women in the Spears family when it comes to contraception. OK, if I were to be really mean right now, I’d say "don’t trust them at all", but I’m trying to keep my evil side in check, so I’ll just state the obvious and stick with my original theory: when it comes to having safe sex and making babies, no family is as worse as the Spears. I don’t think I need to get into too much detail as to what makes me say that. We all know by now that not only has Britney gained a reputation for practicing unsafe sex with multiple partners, but her sister also seems to have inherited her lack of sense (sixteen and pregnant rings a bell?) and her carelessness when it comes to protecting herself and her body.

Well, what do you know. It looks like there’s a new hot power couple in the R&B industry, and the so-called secret surrounding their relationship is no longer a secret anymore. Not that any of us took the trouble to actually believe the "we’re just friends, we’re not dating" story, but still – it’s nice to see people come clean about their relationships, right? I’m talking about that hot beauty Rihanna and her on again / off again / finally revealed boyfriend Chris Brown. There has been a lot of speculation concerning these two over the past months, and now for the first time there’s a photo of the elusive lovers frolicking around in a pool in Jamaica that doesn’t need any more comments – or at least that’s what it looks like now.

Serves me right for not keeping my big fat mouth shut tight. You see, this is what happens when you utter one of those taboo phrases, such as "I wonder what Paris Hilton has been up to lately" or "no, Britney will not have another meltdown". Well, I don’t need to tell you, right? You already know where this is heading. That’s right, the same day we get to see some truly gross photos of Paris tongue kissing Rick Salomon (couldn’t think of anyone sleazier, sorry) and Britney lands her third rehab stint. Life is just cruel and ironic like that. So, when I mentioned the Hogans yesterday and wrote a post on Brooke Hogan and her strange beach antics, little did I know I was actually setting a jinx in motion. The direct result of that little slip is that today, we get to see Brooke’s mother Linda at the beach in a bikini, accompanied by her good-for-nothing son Nick. Talk about jinxes!

It’s been a while since I got the chance to bring you news from the booby… I mean, Pammy front, but we all know how the buxom (and occasionally brainless) blonde loves the spotlight and can’t stay away from it for too long. So, Pammy’s in the news again, and for the first time in… well, years, I think I can actually congratulate her for doing the right thing. Which is, get rid of her sleazeball husband and sex tape professional Rick Salomon and get out of her short-lived marriage altogether. I know, after a while all those pesky STDs lose their sexy. It’s part of that dreaded "routine" that hounds married couples. Kidding. What, don’t give me that look. That guy slept with Paris Hilton! Even if I tried really hard, I still wouldn’t be able to throw a worse insult at him.

I have no idea where Brit Brit’s little sister learned about contraceptives, but judging by the latests clues to emerge, I think she might have skipped that lesson altogether. We’re all familiar with the Jamie Lynn Spears baby drama by now, so I won’t be getting into the sordid details of how the youngest of the Spears hid her pregnancy from her parents and then sold her story to OK magazine for a million dollars in cold hard cash. But it seems that Jamie Lynn’s troubles never stop – and also, that she seems to have been waging her own war on contraception. So now, as if all the baby drama wasn’t enough to begin with, there are all sorts of rumors going round about how Jamie’s longterm boyfriend Casey is not the father of her baby.

There’s no elegant way of saying this, so I’m just going to come out and say it: it pretty much sucks to be Jessica Simpson right about now. I know, I know – if I were to be really mean, I could say that it pretty much sucks to be Jessica any day of the week, but since I’d never ever say something like that, I’ll just stick to mentioning the fact that the eldest of the Simpson sisters is apparently head over heels in love with her current boyfriend and latest heartthrob Tony Romo, and is basically willing to move mountains in order to hold on to their relationship. Personally, I’m not really sure about the "in love" part - or better said, I’m not very sure which part of Tony Jess cares for above all – the real man, or the publicity she gets for being part of such a "high-profile" couple. But that is a question for the ages.

Now, I’m sure that if someone were to tell me the words "FHM" and "100 sexiest women" and then ask me to describe the first things that come to my mind on hearing those words, I’d start going on about sexy ladies, perfectly sculpted derrières and perky breasts. No, I’m still a woman and still straight – or I was last time I checked anyway, but you see my point. The list of the world’s 100 sexiest women put together by FHM each year is a feast of cliches – perfectly thin women, usually models and the most hyped actresses of the moment. In other words, the closest to (earthly) "perfection" anyone will ever get. As a model, actress or singer, you don’t have to be at the top of the list to get instant praise and acclaim – simply making the list is enough of an achievement.
