Rant: SLOW (and depressing) weekend

It's been a slow and depressing weekend: Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes, both linked to the film Soul Men, passed away this weekend. RIP.

In other news, the Church of Scientology's Celebrity Centre had a gala, and Leah Remini, Kelly Preston, Elisabeth Moss, Marisol Nichols and Erika Christensen showed. Is there anything about this that sounds right? Are churches supposed to have fundraising galas? Are they supposed to be predominantly female? I suppose this isn't unusual for an organized religion, to fundraise ... it's just a little more overt (and careless, perhaps) in its fundraising activities than others.

So Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were joined by Heidi's mother and sister during their usual outings this weekend -- and Joe Francis, of all people. What I would like to know is what in the name of Lauren Conrad's sex tape is going on here!? Why is Mrs. Montag holding Joe Incarcerated's hand? Eight days till Season Four of The Hills falls upon us again.

Really, really slow weekend, and David Archuleta's latest blog is little more than him asking fans to tone down the gifting because he is running out of sleeping space (I kid you not). So I will let him and his stuffed toys be and leave you with Selena Gomez's newest video blog, which I haven't fully watched myself:

Both she and the Jonas Brothers' Nick Jonas inadvertently (and indirectly) let slip that they are indeed seeing each other. So new Tween It Couple. Hark back to the days of Hilary and Aaron. The JoBros have been invading my existence; they are EVERYWHERE these days.

Well, at least the US Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte has been easy on the eyes ... reminds me a little of Michael Cassidy, who we will be seeing for -- oh, probably 3 weeks before his new show Privileged gets canceled. It's a pity Michael's been around this privileged high school block for so long and still can't get a ride.
