ha. i bet you didn't know.

• the nicotine in cigs helps to suppress appetite by making the body pump glucose into the bloodstream, replacing the need for sugars we get from food.
• smoking helps increase metabolism, burning away fats at a quicker rate.
• dragging on cigarettes dispenses with the food-to-mouth action the mind is used to doing.*

coupled with stress and temptation, it's no wonder then that hollywood stars smoke so much. yet many female stars deny the habit because they want to maintain that "healthy image" as "role-models" for teens. WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH! Almost every A-lister babe worth their twenty years on earth smokes. I didn't believe that until...

kirsten : damn i thought you said you hated smoking?!
brit : yeah... give all that tar to baby-fugerline, tramp.
rach : so that's how you lost all that weight! twiggy-wannabe
katie : no wonder you developed mouth sores.
kate : twiggy
lindsay : twiggy
nat : i guess harvard's a bitch eh
mk : you should BURN that outfit (along with yourself pls) with your cig!
mischa : it's all greasy's fault.

Shocked? Upset? Wanna know whether your favourite female celeb smokes(yes she does.)? Go to smokingsides.com

*the health-risks of smoking outweighs(hehe) that of obesity. so kids, don't start.

It has come to my attention that the twiggy is back in fashion! What is it? Here are 5 features of this completely rad trend:

• Clavicles that jut out sharp enough to kill
• Breastbones that appear more obvious than the breasts
• The possible snapping of arms and legs due to bearing of the head's weight
• Eyeballs that progressively potrude with each passing day
• The lack of ANY curves whatsoever for the dress to hang on to

You and I both know there are more crazy qualities which may be derived but let's stop because we need to eat, which incidentally is the case-in-point that is missing! Young hollywood just scares the shit out of me... No one ever stays the same for long. It's weight up down, skins up down, marriages up down yadda yadda. The likes of Kate Bosworth losing that toned bod from Blue Crush to Terri Hatcher's decreasing mass is not a new thing. After all that celebratory claims of vuluptuousness, the truth is "Everyone wants to be thin". Yes, we all love that impossible model frame, and so do the stars. But something's gotta give when one goes from slim to skinny. I wonder if it's the cokeheads they're becoming, or the glucose diets meant for stroke patients, or truly the "loss of babyfat" but the twiggy is not good... nooo... not when you drop 20 pounds in 3 weeks. But who am I to say anything... these people make millions and if they want to disappear(in such unconventional ways), I should shut up.


lindsay, nicole and their new friend lollie (yes she's more famous than paris!)

As Summer hits close, my favourite shows are rounding up their seasons for the vacation too... sad to say, OC, Desperate, Lword, SimpleLife are all wrapping up with cliffhangers & such to leave me with withdrawal syndrome cravings for my TV fix. Sighhh what it means to live a life as a junkie. I guess i'll contend with backdated-runs from local broadcast & E!(thankfully) for the next few months.

Speaking of which, I tuned in to One Tree Hill reluctantly on Thurs & I must proclaim: Chad Michael Murray is fuckin' HOT. I love that crew-cut & piercing eyes... very cK model. I actually was gonna bemoan the fact that there are not enough quality testosterones lighting up prime-time (Adam Brody's character is not exactly alpha-male/Jesse Metcalfe is MIA) while the gals sizzle like hot bagels! This phenomenon will be discussed another time but for now OTH is my saving grace.

And here i have to mention that channel 5 cut the lipsmack between Alex & some chick on The OC even tho the character coolly proclaims "it's just a kiss". Look, if we wanted our boring lives, we wouldn't watch TV. Throw us coke-snortin, bisexual kissin', threesomes, huffy Queers anytime! Urgh. It was seriously no biggy but of course, ooooo we wouldn't want to confuse our teens with two men or two women sucking face cos this would turn our population Gay & birth rates would plunge like the Singapore stock exchange & everyone would get Aids & die. Yeah! For a secular nation, I really wish we could be more progressive. Anyway it's gonna be a loooong season ahead cos sexuality marks itself on OC & OTH thanks to sweeps so who knows what will be left after the cutting board.
