Kathy Landin is a freelance internet pop-culture junkie (and web video producer). For a brief time in 2011, she was THIS close to being Charlie Sheen's social media intern for the summer. She's blogged for local TV stations, anonymous dating adventures and stupid advice columns. Mostly she entertains herself by practicing the fine art of idiocy, which you can watch in Kathy Landin's "I'm an Idiot" Show. Or, if you have a short attention span, get 140 characters of idiocy on Twitter.

Missed Connections – Who Are They?
YOU: Despite the fact that you’re a young hipster with that affable Iowa way about you, we have a lot in common. You lived the '70s on a show, and I live the '70s every day. You married a much older woman, and I prefer dating much younger women – usually a few at a time. You were played Steve Jobs. I can’t hold a job.
Charlie Sheen + Ashton Kutcher
In 2011, when Charlie Sheen had his very public meltdown, his best efforts were spent getting himself fired from his lead role on the show ‘Two and a Half Men.’ After his warlockian self was sent back to Mars, Ashton Kutcher, the former star of 'That 70s Show,' replaced him on the series as an internet billionaire with lady troubles.
Hollywood High-Fives Jodie Foster on Twitter for Her Golden Globes Speech
This year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honored Jodie Foster with their Cecille B. DeMille award for her lifetime of achievement on the big and small screens. And during her acceptance speech, she set the interwebz ablaze when she took the opportunity to speak publicly - in a slightly dodgy way - about her oft-suspected sexual orientation.
Got Some Pricey Bling? You Might Be Able to Rent a Celebrity to Wear It
While we sit on our sofas in sweat pants and judge the award season red carpet looks, we always end up drooling over the shiny and very expensive jewelry the stars get to wear with their gowns. We can’t imagine what it would be like to walk around with $2.5 million hanging around our necks or dangling from our ears.
And we really can’t imagine someone paying us to wear the bling, as opposed to us
Royal Family Announces When the Royal Bun Will Emerge From Yon Royal Oven
Yeah, we got it, royal PR firm. Our lovely Kate is having a baby. That news is so last year. So why the new announcement?
Taylor Swift and Tommy Lee Jones Were Not Impressed at the 2013 Golden Globes [GIFs]
Hollywood awards season is now upon us, and some say that performers truly earn their awards with all the pretending to be happy they have to do when other people win.
Maybe they didn’t like the food. Maybe their shoes didn’t fit. Or maybe they were worried about getting their taxes done on time. But whatever it was, neither Taylor Swift nor Tommy Lee Jones seemed to have much fun at Sunday night
Beyonce and Jay-Z Make Up for Bad Naming Skills by Spending $200,000 on Blue Ivy’s First Birthday
It hardly seems possible, but the grapevine is just sure that new mommy and daddy Beyonce and Jay-Z spent upwards of $200,000 to celebrate the first birthday of their adorable and questionably-named bundle of joy, Blue Ivy.
We don’t want to believe it because all we got for our first birthday was a face full of cheap frosting, but perhaps the rumors don’t lie.
What the Tabloids Taught Us While Waiting In Line This Week
We had some time to read the tabs while we were waiting in line to buy Alka Seltzer and carpet cleaner this week and here’s what we learned from Globe, Us Weekly, National Enquirer, Life & Style and Star. We can't deny that avoiding the express line has its privileges. ...

Missed Connections – Who Are They?
YOU: You're the hot young redhead in Hollywood who actually manages to stay out of trouble. Somehow you went from high school movie sweetheart to grown-up love interest in about a minute and a half -- and I think you should know I like it.
Ryan Gosling + Emma Stone
Ryan Gosling, 32, did a little cradle-robbing in 2011’s ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ when he used his best ‘Dirty Dancing’ moves to (literally) pick up 24-year-old Emma Stone. Despite the slight age difference, these two just click -- so much so that they’re steaming up the screen together again in the new 1940s-era flick ‘Gangster Squad...
Lindsay Lohan Misses Court While Her Attorney Bases Chances of Winning on a Psychic Reading [VIDEO]
Lindsay Lohan didn’t show up for court in New York on Monday.
Shocker, we know. How’s your pulse?
Josh Brolin + Thomas Gibson Arrested on Alcohol-Related Charges
In today's StarCrush Police Beat (we're still playing with the name), seems two celebs got their drink on and wound up with a pretty new pair of stainless steel bracelets for their trouble.
Brad Pitt Is Now Free to Visit China and Maybe Adopt All Its Orphans
If you’re in China and you’ve been dying for a chance to run into Brad Pitt on the street, it’s been a sad 15 years or so for you. After his role in 1997’s ‘Seven Years In Tibet,’ Pitt was banned from ever entering the country since its government had a teeny tiny problem with how it was portrayed in the film.
But a mysterious tweet from Pitt over the weekend made it seem like he might be allowed
Tina Fey + Amy Poehler Pimp the Golden Globes With Another Snarky Promo [VIDEO]
Perhaps the best thing about this plan to have Tina Fey and Amy Poehler host the Golden Globes this month is all of their fun little promos leading up to it. For weeks we’ve been served these tasty little treats as appetizers to prepare us for the big awards meal.
Now we’re not sure if we’re hungry or excited. Probably both.
Megan Fox Died on Twitter Right Before She Joined
If you’re a fan of Megan Fox, you’ve been on a quite a roller coaster ride of emotions this week. First, the actress and new mom was the victim of one of those infamous Twitter death hoaxes.
And then she joined the social networking site shortly after being reported dead.
Coincidence? Maaaaybe.
Nancy Pelosi Will Guest Star on ‘30 Rock,’ Making Politics Even Funnier Than They Already Are
We can't hide the fact that we already have a sad because Tina Fey’s bouncing baby television series ‘30 Rock’ will air its final episode on Jan. 31. But at least they’ve done what any good show would do: scheduled some surprise guest stars to finish things with a bang.
Included among them? Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Jenny From the Block Now Seems More Like Jenny From Another Planet in Harper’s Bazaar
Jennifer Lopez leads a weird life in a completely different realm from the rest of us. We can give her some credit for seeming to be a decent person and having some business savvy, but her usual “I’m just one of you” down-to-earth thing is a little too much to take.
Dear J. Lo, you are a ridiculously rich celebrity whose life hasn’t resembled normal in more than two decades. Please admit this to y
Lena Dunham + Taylor Swift Are a Match Made in Eye-Roll Heaven
We’re pretty sure Lena Dunham is the darling of the critics because the critics are past their midlife and think she must be what all the kids are into today. Because it’s starting to become glaringly obvious that even she thinks she’s far more clever than she actually is.
For this reason, we’ve always found her somewhat annoying. And before you go calling us haters, slow your roll -- we didn’t sa
Go Ahead and Think Kelly Clarkson Is Into Girls. She’s Awesome So She Doesn’t Mind.
Despite the fact that she was a part of the embarrassment that was ‘From Justin to Kelly,’ the adorable Kelly Clarkson has yet to do anything that can make us not absolutely love her. She’s talented, humble, loves her fans as much as they love her -- and she’s cute as a kitten calendar.
And now she says she doesn’t care if people think she’s a lesbian. Which makes her all the more adorable.

Missed Connections – Who Are They?
YOU: You're the ever-nerdy yet still desirable artsy/moody type we all love to take home to mother. Unlike the rest of us, you’re too good for mainstream entertainment so we don’t get to see you in a lot of shows or movies (except for that super hot voice of yours in every last animated ‘Madagascar’ incarnation). I like you even with all the product in your hair.
