Seen: Matthew Broderick

Outside my apartment building walking with an unidentified woman, a friend or business associate perhaps.

The star of Ferris Buller and his wife Sarah Jessica Parker are neighbors, so it’s not unusual to see them about, what did come as a surprise was how much older he looked up close. A little dye job and the right lighting really does works wonders on film.

Miss Behave

TMZ is reporting officials from the Miss U.S.A. pageant will make an announcement today and may strip the current Miss U.S.A. 20 year old Miss Kentucky Tara Conner, of her title due to “inappropriate” behavior.

Sources say executives from the pageant met Tuesday to discuss Conner’s alleged antics which includes her questionable conduct at various New York City bars. If Connor is dethroned, first runner-up Miss California Tamiko Nash will most likely assume the title.

In my opinion, this is the best thing that could happen to Conner’s career, no one knew or remembered who she was before today, but now no one will forget. If she plays her cards right she could use this to her advatage and come out on top, scandal has been known to pave the way for many a lucrative career.

Update 12/19/06:
The Donald did not fire Tara. In an early morning news conference, Trump said Conner is “a good person and deserves a second chance.” Conner, who will be admitted to rehab, faced the media and tearfully apologized for her behavior.

EW Is One Serious Publication

Entertainment Weekly has refused to run ads for coat manufacturer Cloudveil Mountain Works. The ads, meant to run during The Sundance Film Festival, made fun of breast implants and scientology. Not surprising, EW is clearly not interested in biting the silicone-enhanced-alien hand that feeds it.

Money Can’t Buy Mimi Class

Thar she blows!!!

All the money in the world couldn’t buy Mariah Carrie class, or a lick of sense for that matter. Mimi is seen here in Aspen this past week wearing what looks like sale items from Baby Gap. Mariah’s body was past it’s prime over 15 years ago, but apparently no one around her has informed her of this. It’s wrong.
