Interesting local fact: The phrase “cougar” was coined by the Vancouver Canucks in the 1980s to describe the oversexed older ladies who would hang about hoping to nab themselves a sports hero. Now it just basically means any older woman, usually over 40 (in my defense), who prefers the company of much younger men.

I learned this fact from last month’s issue of Details magazine. A magazine, I should add, that I picked up soley because the cover featured 21-year old ugly prettyboy Ed Westwick from Gossip Girl. Stupid poetic justice.

That’s right, I’m not ashamed to admit that I watch Gossip Girl. I not only watch it, I LOVE it. I anticipate each Monday’s new developments. It’s the most trashy fun hour of television imaginable, and at least once an episode Westwick’s character, Chuck, glowers at the camera in his dashing silk scarves and I feel a little lightheaded. So moody. So evil. Rrrrrrowwwwwwr.

“[Kurylenko]‘s supposed betrayals will be forgiven, The Communist Party of St Petersburg promised in its statement, if the actress delivers her co-star Daniel Craig to the Russian secret service. ‘Let him tell what other plans are being written in the Pentagon and Hollywood…’”

I can see it now. “Capitalist pigdog — you will betray your Hollywood masters and tell us who the villains will be in the next Batman movie! We.. um.. really like where Nolan is going with that franchise.” (Thanks for the link, you.)
