Rosie's Girdle and Jessica's Mom Jeans

--'Bout effing time.

--Broadway theatres dimmed their lights last night to honor revered stage and screen star Kitty Carlisle Hart, who died on Tuesday after a long battle with pneumonia. The 96-year-old actress, who was born in New Orleans, Louisiana and attended a private school in Switzerland, began her career as an opera star before becoming a Hollywood singer. She made her mark in the movies when she appeared with The Marx Brothers in A Night at the Opera. Other films followed, including Here Is My Heart, Murder At The Vanities, Larceny With Music and Woody Allen's Radio Days. But Hart was perhaps best known for her Broadway successes in the mid-1930s. She appeared in operettas like White Horse Inn and Three Waltzes and the American premiere of Benjamin Britton's The Rape of Lucretia. She met composer Moss Hart in 1946 and later married him. The couple was married until the songwriter's death in 1961. On TV, Hart became a beloved regular panelist on game shows To Tell the Truth and What's My Line. (She was so awesome. A fiesty but classy dame, to say the least...)

--Donald Trump has unleashed a secret weapon in his feud with Rosie O'Donnell - a gigantic black undergarment she wore in the movie "Exit to Eden," which Trump sent to Barbara Walters on Monday to hang on the office wall at "The View." The girdle-like outfit - variously described as "a bustier" and "a giant pair of panties" - was bought at a charity auction by a fan, who then had the relic framed under glass and delivered to Trump. "I sent it to Barbara to hang in her office because I didn't want it in mine. It was funny, except that it was really gross. It's disgusting," Trump said. "I feel sorry for [Rosie's] wife. It can't be pleasant." (Wow. That's hitting below the...yeah. Ha).

--Cormac McCarthy, whose novel "The Road" was recently chosen by Oprah Winfrey for her book club, has added another honor: "The Road" won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction Monday. Click here for the rest of the awards.

--"I just want to say that um, I'm just really, really shocked at like how nice our world is because it's just so nice. Like oh my God! Like, the other day, like I was sitting there and I saw these magazines and they said I was pregnant, and like, it's so true. Like America, believe everything you read. Because, like, you're smart and I'm stupid. Like for real. Come on y'all." --Like I even have to tell you: Brit Brit (I don't even know how to respond to this...)

--Joan Rivers, once the queen of Hollywood's red carpets, is being dropped by TV Guide Channel and replaced with Lisa Rinna. Ms. Rivers and her daughter Melissa moved to TV Guide Channel from E! Entertainment in 2005. "TV Guide Channel is very appreciative of Joan and Melissa Rivers' contributions to the success of our Red Carpet programming over the past three years," said Ryan O'Hara, president of TV Guide Channel. "We wish them the best in their future endeavors." Ms. Rinna will make her Red Carpet hosting debut for TV Guide Channel at the Emmy Awards on September 16. (Um, is this an upgrade?)

--If you want Snoop Dogg to play at an event, not only will you have to pay his $150,000 fee, you'll have to accommodate his unusual tastes and enormous entourage. Organizers of Tuesday night's Pussycat Dolls concert at Cipriani Wall Street to benefit UNICEF, which also featured the rapper, had to fly in more than 10 members of his posse, first-class. Then, at the last minute, Snoop almost didn't go on because, "he insisted on having an Xbox in his dressing room," an insider said. "We finally found someone who lent us their kids' Xbox, and had to put Snoop somewhere on the third floor because he was smoking so much dope." Snoop and his pals were having such a good time they were an hour late making it to the stage, forcing the Pussycat Dolls, who were paid $300,000 to perform, to actually talk - which wasn't a good thing. While introducing themselves, one of the blond dolls thanked "Unicel" instead of "UNICEF." (That last part is hilarious).

--"I have fame on the level of a Marilyn Monroe or an Elvis, but part of the reason I didn't go the way they did was because of my beliefs." --John Travolta (Um, I think he's a little delusional...)

--The newest baby picture sellout:

--What a mess. John Mayer is turning her fugly. Why is she oompa loompa orange? And, I'm well aware that high-wasted, wide-legged pants are "in" this season, but those are mom jeans!

Random Thought of the Day:
--For you locals, there's a GREAT event tonight that you won't want to miss: Margarita Mingle benefitting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. 5:30 @ Adobo Grill. $30 in advance; $40 at the door--Free beer, wine, and food until 8. Then drinks are $4. It was packed and a ton of fun last year. SEE YOU THERE!

1 I used to think that Jessica's eyes were too far apart...now it appears that her waist and her BOOBS are too close together.

2 Here's the thing- the high waisted jeans are WAY cute... if you don't have a big chest. Also- i saw those pics of Jess and John on the beach in US Weekley and her boobs were all saggalicious. I'm like - babe they're only going to go farther south if you keep wearing those sundresses and no bra. I can appreciate her trying to get all natural and whatnot esp. with a new guy but have some self respect Jess and hold your girls up.
