My sassy Girl
• Fresh off his Drew Barrymore relationship, Justin Long and Kirsten Dunst were spotted over the weekend "making out hard-core while waiting in line for margaritas." We're not surprised, it all seems pretty obvs.
• Are they even trying with this Desperate Housewives promo? Previous years were these stylized stories shot by David LaChapelle. This new one is pretty ladies acting silly in evening gowns like they're Cameron Diaz or something.
• Kim Kardashian pulls through her sliced toe incident and dons Louboutins. That's why she's a star, kids.
• So, Tara Reid has some sort of clothing line. That's how scary this Hollywood place has become.
• Whitney from The Hills appears to have a different love interest than that perfect model boy MTV has been teasing. This one looks like Justin Bobby but with even more amazing hair.
Wallace & Gromit Say Cheese!
They've modeled clay, but now Wallace & Gromitare modeling the latest fashions.
The cheese-loving claymates are the newest faces for the British department store Harvey Nichols, exchanging their usual sensible mix of tweeds, sweater vests and dog collars with finery from designers Alexander McQueen, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani. And Wallace love interest Lady Tottington will be seen sporting some Christian Louboutin stilettos, according to the U.K.'s Sun.
While we still have to wait for the duo's next animated adventure, the currently in-production A Matter of Loaf and Death, we're perfectly willing to accept them as our next top models.
Because that's one fierce dog.

Madonna Kicks Off Tour With Controversy
Madge lauched her Sweet and Sticky tour this past Saturday in Cardiff, Wales, and of course, being Madonna, she had to create some kind of controversy.
She started the drama with a couple of political montages during her song "Get Stupid." The video interlude features images of destruction, global warming, Adolf Hitler and John McCain (uh-oh!), then goes on to include John Lennon, Al Gore, Gandhi and Barack Obama (oh crap!).
Naturally, McCain’s people are pissed, and they let her know how not cool her little video is in this statement:
“The comparisons are outrageous, unacceptable and crudely divisive all at the same time. It clearly shows that when it comes to supporting Barack Obama, his fellow worldwide celebrities refuse to consider any smear or attack off-limits.”
Also in response to the ill-conceived juxtaposition of McCain and Hitler, the founder of the tolerance-championing Simon Wiesenthal Center called Madonna's montage "an insult to all Americans, Democrats as well as Republicans.
"There ought to be no place in the political and social discourse of American culture for such deliberate distortions and lies sure to be viewed by hundreds of thousands of young people around the world," Rabbi Marvin Hier said in a statement issued Monday afternoon.
First the A-Rod thing, and now this? Seems like Madonna needs to step up her controversy game and stay away from politics. Celebrities and politics never mix well, a lesson we've learned countless times, but which they haven't. In fact, if today weren’t a relatively slow gossip day, we probably wouldn't even be talking about this Madonna-McCain scuffle.
But we would be talking about those muscles. They're insane! Here are a few more tour pictures—because we know you want them:
