> Carson Kressley, best known for dispensing fashion advice on the reality series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, is getting his own talk show on Lifetime. Though not Kressley's first solo outing -- he currently hosts the Lifetime series How To Look Good Naked -- the show will showcase the stylist both in the studio and on the street, where he will find unsuspecting victims to simultaneously rescue and razzle dazzle with his vast queenie fashion know-how. The yet untitled talk show is part of Lifetime's new push to create innovative programming for their daytime line up. "We've always run sitcoms in the daytime, and some of those are starting
to run out,'' Lifetime Senior VP of reality programming Jessica Samet
said. ''We thought it would be a nice idea to try to replace those with
reality programming." We're all for mixing it up, Jess, but we're warning you -- if you even so much as consider swapping out a single episode of Golden Girls for Carson Kressley yammering on at us about the difference between culottes and skorts, we will be at your office with pitchforks and torches. Believe it.
> Disappointed in the Sex and the City flick? Us too. So join us in gritting your teeth and getting yourself into the crash landing position as we confirm what we all already knew was coming the moment the movie grossed $146 million: a sequel. While there is no deal in place and no script written, Michael Lombardo, president of HBO's programming group, told reporters at the cable channel's annual press tour, "We're really heartened by the fans' enthusiasm. Absolutely, there is a lot of energy behind doing another SATC movie." If you're reading this, HBO, we want to gently remind you never to mistake curiosity for enthusiasm. What's more -- where else can you really take the franchise? The four ladies in their '50s taking on the world thing has already been done. It was called Golden Girls, it was perfect, and don't think we won't bring the aforementioned pitchforks and torches right on over to HBO.
> We almost didn't report this last item since, by this point, if you haven't heard you're probably either a devout Luddite or resting comfortably in a coma, but Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins Saturday night via Cesarean section in Nice, France. The girl, named Vivienne Marcheline, weighed five pounds, and the boy, Knox Leon, weighed 5.03 pounds. The twins join Jolie and Pitt's four other children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2. The first official pics of the infants will reportedly net as much as $20 million dollars, which the couple will donate to charity. Soon we're going to start assuming that Brad and Angie are androids or some kind of secret governmental project engineered to see exactly how much hotness and charitable action the public can take from their celebrities before a threshold is crossed and we revolt.
