Tila Tequila refers to Casey Johnson as ‘Casey Nguyen’
Since her words are like Ewok spears to my fucking eyes, I completely missed the fact that Tila Tequila has been referring to Casey Johnson as “Casey Nguyen” in the barrage of blog posts capitalizing on her death. If that hasn’t pissed Casey’s family off enough, Tila’s been referring to them as a “pieces of shit” on Twitter because obviously she’s the only one handling this thing with grace and poise if grace and poise includes pushing your tits together for the paparazzi. Fortunately for us, this will only spur Johnson & Johnson into finally releasing an anti-bacterial spray on the market that wards off Gremlins. (I know you have it.)

Miley Cyrus just ended her career
Because vanishing off the face of the Earth kicks ass, Miley Cyrus is officially walking away from the Hannah Montana franchise, according to the New York Post:
The news quietly marks the end of one of the most successful kids’ shows ever. The show still averages nearly 5 million viewers a week.
“You never know in this business . . . but right now we’re scheduled to wrap [forever] after shooting this new batch of episodes,” says Disney Channel Worldwide’s Adam Bonnett, senior VP/programming.
For the parents wondering what schlock is going to babysit your little Susie now, don’t worry. I guarantee you Disney is deep in the South as we speak talking a young girl out of a life of snake-handling so she’ll teach your daughters how to become illiterate strippers. So just take a deep breath. More Miley Cyrus in a Bikini
Khloe Kardashian ready to use her uterus as an ATM
Because it’s important to start a retirement fund early, Khloe Kardashian has stopped taking birth control, according to Us Magazine:
When asked about becoming a mother on a Wednesday radio interview for 104.3 MY FM’s Valentine in the Morning, Khloe says, “I want to so badly! That’s a goal for me.” She then qualifies: “I’m 25. I’m not rushing it.”
But Khloe, recently married to Lamar Odom, quickly adds, “I’m also not doing anything to prevent it…I want to, we both want to, we’re in an ideal situation.”
Considering Lamar Odom’s smart enough to realize who he’s married to and made sure the house stays with him in a divorce, let’s assume he secretly got a vasectomy on the road. In fact, he probably just sat there listening to the interview quietly chuckling to himself until Khloe snatched him up in her Sasquatch paws and beat him into the wall for not letting her use his debit card.
Lindsay Lohan accused of stealing fashion designs
While Lindsay Lohan’s busy accusing her former best friend Patrick Aufdenkamp of sstealing the designs to her upcoming 6126 clothing line, it turns out she might be guilty of design theft herself. WWD reports:
Only days after WWD published exclusive sketches of Lohan’s expanded 6126 apparel line, fashion blogs were abuzz with accusations of design copying. James Lillis, designer of Black Milk Clothing, honed in on the similarities between Lohan’s “Diamond” leggings — which feature a signature triangle cutout at midthigh — and his own “Sheer Spartans.” Lillis took to his blog (toomanytights.typepad.com) in a huff, posting photos of the two designs side-by-side and writing on his blog, “Caught a sneak peek at the new stuff from Lindsay Lohan’s brand 6126…No way…Sucks to be me!!!”
On Wednesday, style blog fashionista.com alleged another design copy. The look in question is a geometrically patterned “Deserve” dress from the 6126 line, which bears a resemblance to a Jen Kao design from her spring collection. A photo from last year shows Lohan wearing the Kao dress in question. Kao said Wednesday, “While we are all well aware that being ‘mimicked’ or ‘copied’ has always existed in this industry, I think the evolution of it all has grown to an alarming level. It’s a shame to support the concept of taking advantage of designers who are still trying to develop a name and solidify the image of their design aesthetic.”
While I just assumed Lindsay laid on the floor in a heroin stupor as real designers did all the work for her fashion line, I gotta admit I’m actually impressed she took the time to steal the designs herself and pass them off as her own. Who knew she had any type of initiative outside of eventually selling Ali into white slavery for a crack rock the size of an oven? Never would’ve called that one.
Charlie Sheen dropped by Hanes
While CBS busts out the whitewash because your dad thinks Two and a Half Men is hilarious, Hanes immediately dropped Charlie Sheen from it’s ad campaigns the day following his arrest, according to the AP:
“It’s a pretty standard, straightforward call when somebody who’s in your commercials is arrested on suspicion of something of this magnitude,” Hall said. “And we would suspend the ads both for the company and, really, for Mr. Sheen and his family as well. Given the publicity, it makes sense to not air those ads during that time.”
Hall said the television ads were stopped effective Dec. 28, the first business day after Sheen was arrested. He said some print ads will continue to appear into the spring.
“Unfortunately, the production schedule of those publications do not allow us to pull those ads,” Hall said.
Ironically, however, Hanes continues to sell wife-beaters. (I’m on to you.)
Artie Lange stabbed himself 9 times in suicide attempt
Comedian Artie Lange was hospitalized over the weekend and his reps have now confirmed it was a suicide attempt involving several stab wounds. Page Six reports:
Lange’s frantic mom called 911 Saturday morning after she entered his Hoboken apartment and found the bloodied funnyman, a law-enforcement source said. Lange sustained six “hesitation wounds” and three deep plunges. A source close to Lange’s management team confirmed that the Howard Stern sidekick stabbed himself, adding that his mother had come to visit him that day to drop off food. Surgeons managed to save Lange despite heavy bleeding.
“We all have our demons,” Stern said on-air this week, referring to Lange’s past battles with addiction.
Considering Artie Lange spends 98% of his day turning his body into a massive tankard of barbiturates, I’m having a hard time feeling sorry since he probably didn’t feel a thing or remembers what the fuck happened. To put things in perspective, I guarantee you this is a man who’s woke up at least once with a harpoon sticking out of his chest only to shrug it off and order 20 pizzas. GET. SOME. GODDAMN. HELP.
MTV Pulls Punch Clip From Jersey Shore
MTV has announced that it has pulled a scene from the next episode of Jersey Shore that shows lead star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi getting punched in the face.
In the scene – which went viral after it was previewed during this past Thursday’s show – a man is seen knocking Polizzi’s face back violently at a club. The New York Post has identified her attacker as New York City gym teacher Lou Ferro, 24, who was arrested that same evening for the assault (which left Polizzi, 21, with an injury to the mouth), according to the Post.
“What happened to “Snooki” was a crime and obviously extremely disturbing,” MTV said in a statement Friday. “After hearing from our viewers, further consulting with experts on the issue of violence, and seeing how the video footage has been taken out of context to not show the severity of this act or the resulting consequences, MTV has decided not to air “Snooki” being physically punched in next week’s episode.”
The network said the episode will still make clear what events happened that night and plans to air a message at the end of the show listing available resources for those in abusive relationships.
The clip has also been removed from YouTube.
Aaron Tveit: Playing a Gossip Girl Adulterer Is All in the Suit
Aaron Tveit has a full schedule: At night he sings and dances in the Tony-winning production of Next to Normal, and during the day he seduces Blake Lively’s Serena Van Der Woodsen as young congressman (and burgeoning cheat!) Trip Van Der Bilt on Gossip Girl. He’s also set to play Frank Abagnale in the upcoming Broadway adaptation of Catch Me If You Can. Tveit, who can still be seen nightly in Next to Normal, spoke to Vulture about the magical Gossip Girl wardrobe of his Waspy golden boy, being spotted by the avid GG fans roaming New York, and his upcoming movie love affair with James Franco.
How did you end up on Gossip Girl?
I’d actually auditioned for Gossip Girl a couple times over the past few years for different characters — one was a love interest for Jenny a couple seasons ago, and the other was a Skulls leader at Yale — but I think finally this character was better suited for me. I auditioned right at the end of our Next to Normal run in D.C., so I probably sent my tape in a year ago. January. Our closing night was on a Sunday and I literally had to be on set the next morning at 7 a.m. in New York.
What made Trip’s character seem right for you?
I knew right away who this guy was. I thought the Kennedy-esque story line they seemed to be setting up was interesting. I’m interested in history and politics as a hobby, so it piqued my interest.
Was the cast of Gossip Girl aware that you had this other life in musical theater?
Blake [Lively] and Penn [Badgley] had seen me in Wicked — they’re avid musical-theater supporters. And James Naughton, who plays my grandfather on the show, he’s of course from the theater, and Holly Fain, who’s my wife on the show, is too, so we had a lot to talk about on set. This fall a lot of the cast mates came and saw me in Next to Normal; then I think they realized, “Oh, this is actually what he does.”
You have the smarmy Wasp thing down pretty well. Are you basing Trip on anyone in particular?
That wasn’t really a conscious choice I made. It’s something about putting on those suits. I don’t wear suits in my everyday life. When I started last year, the first episode had the whole football scene [at the Van Der Bilt compound], and my joke with friends is that it was the scene from Wedding Crashers. I thought of that character Bradley Cooper plays. It’s very similar — the sense of an upper-class American society that we don’t think exists anymore, but it really does.
After this past week’s episode, where he unexpectedly showed up at Serena’s house for Thanksgiving, we find Trip a little, well, creepy. Do you?
This is an argument I’ve been having with friends of mine who watch. As opposed to theater, where you learn about a character and do one thing every night, this is great because you get to live in the day-to-day life of the character, and you have to come at everything from a positive standpoint — I have to think what he’s doing is right and just. So I don’t think he’s a bad guy; I think he genuinely loves Serena. I immediately justify what he does without even knowing it!
Do you see a difference in the recognition you get from being part of a TV phenomenon versus being in a Tony-winning musical?
It’s funny, walking through the theater district, I get stopped from time to time about the show, but now I’ve been walking around and I just hear “Trip!!! Trip!!!” I kinda can’t believe it. Especially because I wear a jacket and a hat most of the time. At first I didn’t realize they were talking to me. It’s unbelievable how many people watch the show.
We experienced the Gossip Girl paparazzi one afternoon recently at lunch in Tribeca, when Blake and Chace [Crawford] were eating at the restaurant we went to. It’s insane.
I remember that day! They were in there with Chace’s mom, who was in town. It was crazy! I was shooting with them after lunch. It’s mind-blowing that they have to deal with that. For some reason I thought New York wasn’t like that.
You’re playing Frank Abagnale in the new musical of Catch Me If You Can, which is coming to Broadway, right?
I am. They’re working on the show now doing tweaking and fine tuning, and we’re hoping it’ll be on Broadway in the late fall.
And you’re also in the new Howl movie with James Franco …
I play Peter Orlovsky, who was a beat poet at the time, and he was the man of Allen Ginsberg’s life; they were life partners. A third of the film is live action, a third is footage from the trial, and a third is really trippy animation. James was fantastic to work with. I think it’ll be really cool.
You have so much going on — how old are you, exactly?
You know, I always say, “I’m as old as they need me to be.” I play 17-years-old onstage right now, so, there you go.
Tiger Woods: Mistress Tries to Secretly Bear his Child
With multiple mistresses coming forward with allegations of an affair with Tiger Woods, the plot line in his dramatic marriage to Elin Nordegren thickens as a new woman claims that she had been secretly attempting to get pregnant with his child throughout their romantic time together, Radar Online reports.
After claiming to have been intimate with the golfer for many years, the still unnamed mistress admits that she went off of birth control in hopes to become pregnant during the affair without Tiger’s knowledge, a source at Radar Online reveals.
The source continues that, “She used to try to arrange to see Tiger when she was ovulating, “ as reported by Radar Online, “She thought she’d be set for life financially if she could have Tiger’s baby.”
And while the woman, who has already lawyer-ed up in hopes to get a hefty settlement for her time spent with Woods, has yet to come forward publicly, sources at Radar Online confirm that she and the 33-year-old athlete did not use protection during intimacy although he was unaware the she was not on the pill.
Radar Online reports that the lady, one of many that have been linked to Woods over the past few days following a nasty spat with his wife, is in dire need of money and thinks that Tiger should pay up.

The AUssie Adoration of Blackface
To Mods, I’ve seen other posts where it’s just fahion pictures and I think this is just as interesting with this ~high couture~ cover.
When Australian e-zine, Tangent Mag, uncovered their latest issue featuring a model in Blackface, we felt compelled to ask: Should we really expect anything less from our conscious-deficient counterparts from down under? It was plain old tactless when the ‘über sophisticated’ Europeans decided to revisit the Blackface trend, but can the Aussies be measured by the same stick? Hell, it’s only been about 30 years since non-Whites were even allowed to step foot onto their fair land. Besides, can we really blame a nation founded by penal colony residents for being insensitive and narrow-minded?
Yes (the Aborigines and Harry Connick, Jr. can attest to that).
As we’ve stated time and time again, this futile attempt at generating shock value at the expense of others is dense and wretchedly conventional. These “high fashion” spreads may be absent of bright red lipstick, deranged expressions and other grotesque minstrel-style imagery. However, these new images of haute couture clad lily-white models smudged in brown (or black) make up are totally in keeping with the cunning nature of contemporary racism.
Again, we suggest that fashion’s creatively challenged set utilize an innovative means to create the controversy they seek. It’s rather shocking as well that an industry that embraces being on the vanguard of “what’s in” has held on to the Blackface trend for so long. Perhaps for some, racism is always en vogue. Pity.
Everyone has their take on the whole sordid blackface craze but the fact remains that there are many of us on all sides of the synthetic racial divide that have grown intolerant of this widespread covert racist/insensitive imagery. Who knows? Maybe one fine day, people will realize that racism is a disease, not a marketing ploy.
By the way, Neither Tangent Editor-in-Chief, Heather Cairns nor Creative Director, Emmanuel Giraud were available for comment. Figures.

Jack Dawson enjoying the Lakers vs. Timberwolves game.
Showing his love for the game, Leonardo DiCaprio attended the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves basketball game at the Staples Center in LA last night (December 11).
