Um...Gross

No he didn't just diss MKO!

After Mary-Kate's David Letterman appearance last week, The Hills Spencer Pratt is speaking out about her comments toward his bad temper on the soccer field while they were in high school together.



The reality villian had this to say:

"I don't really get why she'd use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one's going to see...She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me...I know I've made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman...I forgive her, though. She's had to go through life as the less cute twin, which must be tough."

And Speaking Of The Olsens...

HAPPY 22nd BIRTHDAY MARY-KATE AND ASHLEY!

I hear the two fashionistas have been spotted in Tennessee, in town for the Bonaroo music festival in Manchester.

Can you believe that it's been over 21 years since they first made their debut on Full House? Crazy I must say!

Izzie Out Of Emmy Running

Due to the lack of a great storyline for her character in this past season of Grey's Anatomy, Katherine Heigl feels she should not be included in the choosing of Emmy nominees. The blossoming actress won last year for best supporting actress.

She says, "I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention."

Oh Iz, always putting others before yourself. I hope this doesn't hurt you at all though within Greys, it's a kinda sorta subtle slap in the face to the writing staff.

Quote Of The Day

"I don't consider myself sexy...I'm kind of a nervous person in general. I'm socially awkward. I'm not tall and sensuous. I usually wear sweats everywhere I go. Oh, and I burp a lot." - Carrie Underwood tells all in the July issue of Cosmo.

Opposites Attract (I Mean, Look At Their Shirts)

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley hit the streets of NYC again to do a little shopping and moseying. (How come I never see them around?!) Also along for the day was Blake's cutie of a dog Penny. Although I can't get my Monday fix of Gossip Girl, these two lovebirds are keeping the chemistry alive for the summer. Thanks guys!

And the Designer Of The Year Goes To...

Francisco Costa of Calvin Klein for Womenswear Designer.

Tom Ford for Menswear.

Tory Burch for Accessory Design.

Yet another glamorous NYC event went down last night. The New York Public Library held the annual CFDA (Council of Fashion Designers of America) Awards, (basically the Oscars of fashion) and well, as you can see the fashionistas were out. From MJ and Posh, classic icon Ralph Lauren and designer Michael Kors, to AFO and Hilary Duff, there really never is a dull moment in the Big Apple.

I thought that this pic was kinda funny, look how much taller model Karolina Kurkova is compared to Ashley Olsen! She may be on the shorter side, but what an impact she makes! More power to us! (obvs. I'm a bit on the short side as well)

Jason Lewis is popping up everywhere these days, but believe me, I don't mind!

Oscar Winner Arrested

Last night proved eventful for actress Tatum O'Neal as well. She was arrested in NYC for buying crack cocaine. Charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, the alleged drug dealer was also arrested. Both were taken in for booking and O'Neal posted bail Monday afternoon. The actress reportedly told the officers, "You know who I am, right?" as well as telling them that she was "researching a part - I'm doing this for a part as a junkie," asking them to "just forget about this."

Happy Birthday Dana Carvey

The Night Of The Golden Popcorn

Last night at Universal City, the MTV Movie Awards were a happenin'. As celebs graced the gold carpet, it was really all about those who took home the golden bucket of popcorn. Funnyman Mike Myers hosted the soiree while big winners included Johnny Depp, who took home awards for both Pirates and Sweeney Todd, Juno's Ellen Page for Best Female Performance, Hairspray's Link Larkin (Zac Efron) for Breakout Star, Will Smith for Best Male Performance in I am Legend, Iron Man for Best Summer Movie So Far and Transformers for the Best Movie. With hot performances from Coldplay and the Pussycat Dolls, the stars came out for a much-talked about awards show.

SJP channeled her inner Carrie Bradshaw with an amazing dress, jewels, ankle-high boots and Stanford, Lindsay Lohan made a glamorous appearance in purple, (she even had a Marilyn moment on the carpet!) Rihanna and "good friend" Chris Brown (after his dance off with Myers) sat very close to each other throughout the whole show, The Hills are apparently still alive, the Best Kiss awardees Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman definitely proved that they deserved the prize, Adam Sandler sang his own tribute after earning the Generation Award and Megan Fox gave the best plug for the sequel to Transformers. Overall, a very entertaining evening!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Scenes

The weekend dedicated to SATC continues as I bring you my favorite Carrie Bradshaw moments:

This last dress that SJP wore during Carrie's cleaning-out-closet extravaganza is the same one she wore in the opening credits of the show! How clever!

I agree with the girls, it def. belongs in the take pile.
