Your Favorite Hollywood Star Adds "Entitled Blogger" To Her CV

My dear ones, this site has long had a hate/hate relationship with Katherine Heigl. I’m not fully on the Hate Kate Bandwagon, and her new guest blog spot on a website I’ve never heard of isn’t terrible, but the headline (“It’s Difficult To Have It All”) is. My nose wrinkled. (iVillage)

I mean, does she REALLY have it all? Cause I’m pretty sure she doesn’t have any talent this awesome Aliens vs. Predator chess board. (Obvious Winner)

I spent a few hungover hours this weekend soaking in the comedic talents of Nick Offerman via a mini-Ron Swanson marathon. As awesome as Ron is, it turns out Nick Offerman may be even better. (Warming Glow)

Which Paiba 10 actor does Harvey Weinstein think is languishing in obscurity? You’ll have to click the link to find out. It’s Tom Hardy. (MovieLine)

That was my first crack at a blind item. How did I do? Pretty good, right? Anyway, via Reddit (where else?), behold the striking similarities between Hitler’s mother and Michael Cera.

Speaking of adorable indie actors, I stole this link right off Kat Denning’s Twitter feed. Some of the best “life hacks” I’ve read all year. (DailyBuzz)

While we’re on the subject of making your life easier, have you spent much time with the “Ikea Hacks” on LifeHacker? Cause this webcam crane hack sounds awfully handy for you Artful Skypers (band name). Enjoy! (Lifehacker)

Speaking of artful images, MelBivDevoe sent me these incredible close up images of human irises. (Suren Manvelyan) And a lovely Twitter follower sent me this rad image of a frozen Niagara Falls. (History Pin)

You trivia-minded clickers will love this oddball Mental Floss list of one word answers to 25 questions. It’s a clever way to do a link round-up. (Mental Floss)

Speaking of trivia, my Educated Guessers, here’s the last in the Cinematic Alphabet series. The 1970s. I’d wish you luck, but your track record proves you don’t need it. (Steven Wildish)

In the wild world of politics, you can either read this offensive and racist story from Arizona (ThinkProgress), or revel in the batshit insanity of this delightful Democratic candidate. He’s like a walking talking version of a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Soap.

Speaking of batsh*t insane, are you curious at all about Burning Man? Care to experience it without the danger of desert dust in your unmentionables? I think this recitation of “Oh The Places You’ll Go” is pretty fantastic. Oh, sure, I would likely murder any one of these people if I had to share a tent with them, but the forceful whimsy of the encampment suits the Seussian verse quite well. Plus, scantily clad fit people!

Sure, Tom Hardy languishes in obscurity. It's just someone else's back and bemasked face we've seen plastered on every single media outlet.

Well, now I'm going to call it GOBwin's Law.

I'm not a big fan of Kate H either. But if you read her blog post, she wasn't really claiming that she has it all. She was speaking to the suggestion that women these days can "have it all". Meaning being a mom and still working. Its a tough balance regardless of your career, give the woman a break...

Posted by: weezy40 at January 9, 2012 2:49 PM

F - Fiddler on the Roof

Posted by: OldSchool60 at January 9, 2012 2:57 PM

Big OOPS!

I was looking at "H", and that looks like Jane Fonda.

Still can't figure out "H".

Q - Quadrophenia?
Y - Yanks (Richard Gere has an oddly distinctive silhouette, doesn't he? I think it's the head tilt)

Don’t nobody give a fuck about Burning Man except libertarian dope smoking white people.

I’m not really bothered about what Heigl said about having it all, I like her because she’s kinda hot in my way of thinking of how a hot woman would be like.

Last year I did a disservice to pajiba, I held back a lot of stuff that I think needed to be said. This year I’m going to be my true self. It isn’t my intention to insult, but rather enlighten.

iVillage has been around since the early days of the internet...but it's not "cool."

Posted by: Sara Tonin at January 9, 2012 3:25 PM

Eff Katherine Heigl. You're an actress. You pretend for a living. GAH!

Better walk don't talk she's all pretend, can't be her friend unless you spend
Wall to wall after all, get ready to throw only money at the bitch

Cause she thinks she's sooooo.......

Very funny, BWeaves.

...but seriously, what is "X"?

Posted by: OldSchool60 at January 9, 2012 4:26 PM

A - Apocalypse Now

Posted by: OldSchool60 at January 9, 2012 4:34 PM

The only reason I didn't just spend the last seven minutes, nine seconds punching my monitor in the face is because I managed to knock it off the desk when the first half-naked hipster started spouting doggerel.

The problem many have with Katherine Heigl isn't in her looks, or choices of roles or even the levels or talent she may or may not possess. The main problem is the type of person she seems to come off as when the cameras stop rolling. It's very difficult to argue that much of it isn't of her own doing.

She has a very bad habit of throwing the people she works with under the proverbial bus. She has done so on a number of occasions. To that extent, not only is that looked at as being very unprofessional in her field, it would likely not be be looked at any more favorably in any other field of work. It's a rotten work attitude and I know of no one who would like a co-worker to be so petty. And because she foolishly did so early into her career, it forever taints her reputation. I'm actually surprised she hasn't had her work offers even more curtailed beyond the head-pounding stupid rom-coms she's been attached to the last few years.

She also comes off as a being a stuck-up prima dona. Which in fact is so much more laughable because she really doesn't have any reason as of yet to put on such airs. One thing that endears many actors to audiences regardless of their careers is when they appear to be the same as any other person when off the set. It doesn't necessarily have to be the truth, but people feel more inclined to support someone's works if they seem like they are genuinely nice and perhaps a little humble. Is it still "acting"? Perhaps, but one cannot disagree that a good image is a good career asset. Heigl on the other hand, has done such a bang-up job coming off as being a jerk in reality that even if she had a personality transplant, it would likely be looked at as merely a facade rather than a needed Dickensian change of heart. Who knows, perhaps she's a really humanitarian and pleasure to be around. But thanks to some very unwise moments she's still viewed as a chain-smoking harpy who struggles to smile beyond a disgusted sneer and is quick to blame others for even small problems. Is it an unfair assessment? Maybe. There may be and in all likelihood are actors who are far worse people. But they also know when to keep their mouths shut too. It's very easy to tee off on someone who regularly invites the ridicule.

So before any of you Heigl defenders/apologists start in with a tearful "Leave Katherine Alone!!!" screed, please consider two things; first that she may in fact have earned some of the negativity that she's received and that secondly if that really is her attitude, she likely wouldn't appreciate your chivalry anyway.

So we now have documented proof that Michael Cera has or will in the future somehow managed to travel backwards in time to mid-19th Century Europe where the trauma of such a journey will spontaneously alter his gender after which (s)he will marry and become his own great-great grandmother by giving birth to six children one which will one day be considered one of the most evil men of the 20th Century.

This is known in scientific terms as the "M.Butterfly Effect".

glad you like the History Pin link!

Posted by: faintingviolet at January 10, 2012 3:10 PM


to bleujayone: good comment re heigl. i am one of her
apologists but her off-screen persona , if accurately
portrayed by the media, would absolutely factor into
her reputation ...

Why is it racist to require a politician in the United States to be proficient in English?
