Now that the work week is winding down, and we're all desperately searching for procrastinatory material to get us through until quittin' time, here's a roundup of stuff we've been checking out on the Web this week.
-- Why is Shiloh Jolie-Pitt dressed like Joel Madden? Maybe all the Jolie-Pitt kids will be OTHER CELEBS this Halloween. That would be kind of hilarious. I want to see Maddox in costume as Madonna. (JustJared)
-- Beyonce told Oprah's magazine that Kanye, with his VMAs outburst, was defending art. In other words, she just totally picked at a scab that had mostly healed, AND has managed to come off like she's ALSO dissing Taylor Swift's video. JUST STOP TALKING, YOU GUYS. (UsMagazine.com)
-- The Book of Genesis, according to Tyra (who else?). Hilarious. (Lyrical Malarky)
-- Author Meg Cabot took us right back to our childhood in this Wall Street Journal piece about the Betsy-Tacy books. And Tib. Don't worry, we haven't forgotten you, Tib. I wish HarperCollins would republish those.
-- According to LAist, Ellen Page is writing a series for HBO about two girls who move from Williamsburg to Silver Lake to become "artists." As one of their commenters aptly noted, this sounds like a story from The Onion. HIPSTER OVERLOAD.
-- Generally, Nancy Grace is not our particular cup of java, but we have to offer a laurel and hearty handshake to anyone who delivers a smackdown to Jon Gosselin. (Jezebel)
-- Bonus points if you ID'd the Blazing Saddles quote in the previous blurb.
-- In other Gosselin news, E!'s Answer Bitch contemplates how best to make him go away forever. We can only pray that he read it.
-- We're terribly sad that Intern George hasn't flown us to Paris Fashion Week to watch all the ornate collections come down the runway; fortunately, we have Harper's Bazaar to pick out the Top 100 things from the catwalk.
-- Roisin Murphy cracks us up -- and also might be cream-filled. (Style.com)
-- This might be the cutest kid ever. Watch your back, Kurt Russell. If they make Miracle II: Getting Together To Watch The Game From The First Movie, you might have to reaudition for your own part.
-- OH HELL YES. Joan Collins is appearing in a new television special in which she gives three women makeovers. PLEASE AIR IN THE US. (SF Gate)
