Over and out

February 16th 2012 04:53

Due to my serious lack of spare time and a creeping sense of apathy towards blogging in general, the time has come for this website to begin gathering digital dust. Best of luck to the next writer to take on I Dream of Hollywood... if, indeed, there is one.

Orble, I'm afraid it's not me, it's you.

Bring on the tumbleweeds!

The MPDG (Manic Pixie Dream Girl)

February 3rd 2012 05:08

I first became aware of the MPDG phenomenon while reading this review of Zooey Deschanel's TV show New Girl. I can't tell you what possessed me to read said review - after all, I haven't watched TV in years, and even if I did there's little chance I'd ever watch something like this - but what stuck with me was just how ubiquitous this kind of character has become.

Zooey Deschanel is in grave danger of being permanently typecast as the MPDG.

The arrest of Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop

January 9th 2012 07:17

Is this Hollywood news? Nope, not even close, but I'm putting it here because some things you just have to share. Readers, meet Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop. He's 30, single, and currently under arrest for carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and a violation of probation.... but that's all a bit ordinary, really, when held up next to his (genuinely unique) name change.

That's MR Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop to you.

Lindsay Lohan's Marilyn obsession is getting old

December 8th 2011 03:03

So Lindsay Lohan has finally posed for Playboy. No surprises there. What does come as a surprise, however, is that the long-established men's publication agreed to let her pose as her idol Marilyn Monroe, even though she's already been photographed that way many times before - both with her clothes on (for Spanish Vogue in 2009) and with her clothes noticably absent (for New York magazine, back in 2008). Was there really no other way they could get her to do it?

Same old stuff... Lindsay will once again be posing as Marilyn Monroe, this time for the January 2012 issue of Playboy.

Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher to divorce

November 18th 2011 03:44

After six years of being one of Hollywood's hottest couples, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher have decided to call it quits on their marriage. The split follows months of infidelity rumours on Kutcher's part, and, while those rumours were never proven to be true, Moore said that her decision to leave her husband was based on "certain values and vows" that she considers to be sacred within a marriage.

Jessica Simpson is definitely pregnant

October 26th 2011 14:15

Publicity surrounding celebrity pregnancies is generally a five-part process: first comes the rumours, then confirmation of the pregnancy, then the sex of the baby is announced, followed by news of the birth itself, then finally we're told what weird and wonderful name the celebrity has bestowed upon their new offspring (with an optional bikini-clad 'post-baby body' photo shoot pencilled in for the two-month mark). All pretty standard stuff.
