Oh KK.

Where there’s a CAMERA, there’s a WILL.

Check out Kimmy K conspiring with her MOMager to get in on her Boyfriend’s post game fame…

Scroll to the 3:45 mark to watch the Kris’ eyes light up with the thought of hatching a steal…

Fav part?

Kim Kardashian – Model.

Hey, at least they didn’t leave it blank.

Tennis star Andy Roddick’s WIFEY is on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition…

As an ATTEMPT to prove she’s more than just a bikini model she says,

“This celebrates the girls and their personalities. I think it’s why they get such beautiful pictures.”

Yes that’s it.

That is the SOLE reason people will pick up this MAGAZINE.

Looks like Rihanna’s gonna be kickin’ it old skool for her UPCOMING video for her single, “Rude Boy…”

Of course she’s been through a Hell of a lot more since her SOS days, and it just ain’t about pop lockin’ and swingin her ponytail anymore…

Donatella Versace.

“I don’t even know what my natural colour is. Natural? What is natural? What is that? I do not believe in totally natural for women. For me, natural has something to do with vegetables.”

Somewhere in buttfu*k Colorado, Heidi Montag’s mom shakes her head for not feeding her enough VEGETABLES as a toddler.

So Sarah Silverman is on the COVER of Page Six magazine trying her hardest to look quirky, and funny, and cute and whatever.

I kinda think she’s a little annoying with her “I’m not a girly girl, I like farts, and snorting out my nose” act.

She wahh’s to the magazine that her CURRENT boyfriend is the only guy to ever tell her she’s pretty.

Her new boyfriend, the writer Alec Sulkin, is “the first guy in a decade who’s given me any kind of compliment, like saying I’m pretty or anything,” the comedian, 39, tells the new issue of Page Six Magazine, due out Thursday.

“He’s really skinny. Usually I like pudgy, macho-ish guys,” says Silverman, who dated talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel for much of the last decade. “But I think I mistook macho-ish for strong, emotionally. And I think it’s really the opposite.

“It felt a little isolating,” she says. “Part of the fun of meeting someone is having them discover you. You’re doing your little tap dance, like, ‘This is me!’ And then [the person has] all these preconceived notions, things that are partially true and partially not.”

I’d say this is a case of digging your own grave.

Poor girl.

Hank Baskett’s bunny was seen bawling her boobs off while LEAVING the Superbowl last night.

Denying rumors that she was being a SORE loser after her hubs screwed up an onside kick that pretty much handed the game over to the Saints, she set the RECORD straight via her Twitter today…

 “I wasn’t cryin cuz of the damn game it’s cuz the paparazzi have no soul… they wouldn’t leave me n family alone!!!!” “People like to twist this stuff… we asked them to stop cuz of the baby n they were way too close n they didn’t care at allllllll.”

Way to save face.

Like she wanted anyone to think she was crying because that bi*ch Kim Kardashian stole her SPOTLIGHT.

quote from Lane Craig’s essay:

“Imagine that you’re hiking through the woods and come across a translucent ball lying on the forest floor. You’d naturally wonder how it came to be there. If one of your hiking partners said to you, “Don’t worry about it! There isn’t any explanation of its existence!”, you’d either think he was crazy or figure that he just wanted you to keep moving. No one would take seriously the suggestion that the ball existed there with literally no explanation.

Now suppose you increase the size of the ball in this story to the size of a car. That wouldn’t do anything to satisfy or remove the demand for an explanation.

Suppose it were the size of a house. Same problem.

Suppose it were the size of a continent or a planet. Same problem.

Suppose it were the size of the entire universe. Same problem.

Merely increasing the size of the ball does nothing to affect the need of an explanation.”

(from Lane Craig’s essay:  ‘Five Arguements for God’

One learns about art by doing it and not by reading about it.

You can condition how people look.

We have so much information flow that we can just be giving a hint of something and we can imagine everything else.

So Kevin Federline is claiming that he was in FAT PERSON denial when the TABLOIDS were showing him as a 240 pound mass.

“I thought it was Photoshopped, you know? And then I realized that I was just letting myself go,when I saw this picture, I did not think I was this big,” he tells Entertainment Tonight.

Poor guy thought someone out there would actually care enough to go to through the trouble of wasting Photoshop hours on him in the first place.

Anyways, he’ll be REVEALING how much weight he lost on VH1’s Celebrity Fit Club next week, in case you want to watch backtrack CLIPS of him thundering down the aisles of WalMart frantic for Doritos.

Brody is such like a PLAYER.

And Stephen, like, he’s hooked up with every chick on Spring Break.

I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww right?!

Lauren Conrad DISHED to Seventeen magazine (because she’s still a high school sh*t talker at heart) that she knew all her EX Boyfriends CHEATED on her while they were dating.

Yeah, it would be KINDA hard not to considering Spencer Pratt probably hand delivered the evidence to her MySpace inbox.

“I knew back then [that] I was being cheated on. I overlooked it, the more confident me has come to the point where I’ve finally realized it’s not something that everyone does. It’s not okay to have your guy hook up with someone else. You deserve more.”

Awwwww LC!

I’d feel really bad for you, but the fact that you have your own clothing line, a hot steady boyfriend, 2 books under your Hermes belt, AND you get to openly laugh at Brody Jenner’s bowlegged bi*ches, I don’t.

Love you!

“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”
- George Bernard Shaw

I feel the same way for Kara Dioguardi, who has to sit next to Simon Cowell and his ever visible chest hair.

His follicles need to PUSH Randy Jackson out of his seat and pull up a chair. I’m sure they’d have something to say other than “Nah Dawg.”

Ellen Degeneres probably feels the SAME way, although she’s just to GOSH darn nice to actually come out and say it…

Instead the COMEDIENNE says,

I’m not GONNA lie, when I receive a Google Alert, whether it’s BLOG oriented, or someone talking smack it makes me a TAD giddy.

Imagine finding out that your fiancee’ is going to PROPOSE to you via a search engine though…

That’s what happened when Katy Perry realized her man, Russell Brand was planning on putting a RING on it, after she rolled out of bed, scratched her ass, and Googled herself out of boredom.

Let’s hope she doesn’t find out who he’s boning on the side through Yahoo!

T Pain recently told Rolling Stone magazine that he wants in on some Swifty action…

I LOVE her.

I can so picture them collabo-ing on “I’m on a HORSE.”

So because Pete Wentz grew a BEARD, he’s now only focused on deep thinking and drinking black coffee.

As a result…

“to make it perfectly clear.
i dont know the future of fall out boy. its embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. as far as i know fall out boy is on break. (no one wants to say the “h” word). as much as i dont have a solo project, i also cant predict that id ever play in fall out boy again. not due to personal relationships as much as a band we grew apart. in this statement id like to include there is the possibility that fob will play again with out me or i will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. it is no ones fault and there is no animosity about the decision. i felt as fans you deserve to know. there is no singular reason for this. the side projects or bands are supported by all members of the band. i am the single biggest fan of fob and if this is our legacy than so be it. i am proud of it.”

That’s nice.

You’re still married to Ashlee Simpson. How are you gonna get outta that gig?

So Love magazine, a brand new PUBLICATION has just released their 3rd issue…that consists of 8 different covers.

Why you ask?

Editor in Chief, Katie Grand says that it is because love comes in ALL shapes and SIZES. This is CLEARLY shown by the range of Size 00-4 models on the covers…

I dunno, one of these looks at least 110 lbs.

The only LOVE she’s gonna get is if she plants that kisser on a glazed donut.

Oh, the misery.

So Heidi Montag is talking to PEOPLE (yet, again) about her transformation from what can be considered NORMAL in La La Land to Catwoman.

And that’s NOT a compliment.

Almost 9 weeks after her surgeries she decided to hop on a plane and SURPRISE her parents back in Butte, Colorado for the first time back home since they melted her body into a mould.

(Really, because there’s no other REACTION to expect).

Via PEOPLE,

“I was nervous, but also excited … I never thought in my wildest dreams she was going to react the way she did. “She was looking at me almost like a zoo animal. It wasn’t like I was her daughter anymore. She was looking at me like I was a circus freak.”

That’s probably because her mom mistook her for that Barbie she had accidently melted when trying to put her in the “jacuzzi” on the stove as a child.

I would have slammed the DOOR in her face and made a MAD dash to the closest church.

“I think she was most upset that Spencer was there for me and she wasn’t. She was saying how sad it is that my confidence is gone because of the music industry I’m trying to get into.”

What’s SAD is that she actually thinks she has a chance of GETTING into the music industry.

“Understanding unity helps to solve humanity’s biggest challenges. There is no such thing as an isolated problem. By injuring any part of the world’s system, you injure yourself. There is no such thing as a win/lose situation. Think of life on this planet in terms of systems and not detached elements. Broaden your field of vision and assimilate the knowledge you have. See that the environment does not belong to any single country to exploit and then disregard. You cannot afford to think of your relationship with the earth as a one-night stand. There’s no such thing as a free glass of milk. It’s time to buy the cow.” – Za Rinpoche

from michela sorrento’s blog post, which you should also read.  and while you’re there, take a look at her work.  a.ma.zing.

we are all connected.  my actions do not only affect me, they affect those around me.  and your actions for you affect me, and our actions for us affect people in other countries that we haven’t noticed any connection with….

The canon is the ancient witness to what God has already accomplished and it is also the ongoing reminder of what He has yet to consummate. It is the covenant record of His past faithfulness and the unwavering promise of His faithfulness in that which is yet to come. What fits into this far exceeds the human conjectures of any interpretative community.

We must submit our (or any) interpretation of Scripture to the canon, that is, to the greater reality of what God is doing through Jesus Christ and by His Spirit.

Vanhoozer writes:

Dramatic fittingness with what God has done in Christ is the supreme criterion for truth, goodness, and beauty alike…

Christo-dramatic fittingness means canonical fittingness. We must think through the canon in order rightly to think about Jesus Christ. The standard of fittingness is specification of this “whole and complete” action. Sounds doctrine is distinguished from the dross of mere opinion only because the former accords with the commissioned testimony of the biblical authors and the latter does not.

Vanhoozer, Drama, 258

Thus, while the church receives and gives its seal of approval to the Scriptures, it does not thereby render authentic what is otherwise doubtful or controversial. But because the church recognizes Scripture to be the truth of its own God, as a pious duty it unhesitatingly venerates Scripture. As to their question—How can we be assured that this has sprung from God unless we have recourse to the decree of the church?—it is as if someone asked: Whence will we learn to distinguish light from darkness, white from black, sweet from bitter? Indeed, Scripture exhibits fully as clear evidence of its own truth as while and black things do of their color, or sweet and bitter things do of their taste

John Calvin, Institutes I.VII.2

The canon is the abiding theological witness to God’s pattern of communicative action in Israel and in Jesus Christ. As theo-dramatic script, the canon is witness to what God has done. As covenant document, the canon is witness to the solemn agreement that binds God and God’s people together…

The canon, seen in light of its connection to the covenant, is much more than a theological slide rule or criterion for true propositions. It has a properly soteriological purpose as well. The notion of covenant document helps to put the canon into proper perspective, with regard to form and content alike. As to content, Scripture depicts the history of God’s covenantal relations to humanity, including those divine communicative acts—promises, warnings, commands, consolations—that witness to what God was doing in Christ. As to form, the canon is an authoritative and binding witness to the fact, and the terms, of covenant relationship. The canon is thus the instrument through which the Spirit of God ministers and administers the covenant today. The origin (and hence the authority) of the canonical Scriptures is thus far removed from that of human constitutions.
