CELEBRITY TREND WATCH: “TEA PARTYING”

We previously thought that drinking tea was only for the British, oldie Grandma types, and impudent hippies!  But these days, tea is becoming one of the hottest Hollywood stimulants around.  We can’t wait to see what celebrity chef and reality TV host Gorfrum Tinkelmeier has to say about the beverage during Tuesday’s 1 hour special of Kitchen Hitler! (Bravo Network, 10 p.m. Eastern Time.)

U GOT THE LOOK:  PAGES FROM THE CELEB LOOKBOOK

SPOTLIGHT ON: “THE JOEY JEREMIAH”

When Degrassi Junior High exploded onto the scene in 1987, this Canadian prankster/bully/soon-to-be-used-car-salesman changed fashion forever.  The look has been imitated by many and pulled off by few, but it’s safe to say that nobody has ever come close to capturing the raw essence of fedoras like Joey Jeremiah. 

There was a time when the hat symbolized a sort of tough-guy, “working stiff,” if you will, understanding of couture.  The brilliance of the “Joey Jeremiah,” “Joey,” “Hucklejoey” (or any of the other numerous monikers that the look has inspired) is that the look is now perceived as neither tough nor formal. In the words of Howard Zinn, this look “changed” “History” for “everyone,” and not just white people and celebrities.

WHAT I ATE TODAY:  ROBERT DOWNEY, JR.
8:00 am:  For breakfast I enjoyed three miniature turtles, shells softened by a lengthy braising.  They are imported from Japan.  My daughter loves the crunchy little bones.
11:30 am:  One quail’s egg in a bat’s blood reduction sauce, accompanied by a special kale/spinach/goji berry hybrid developed by my good friend over at Caltech, Dr. Haile Horsenblatt.
2:30 pm:  Three liters of pure snow-water from the Himalayas infused with a tincture made from the ashes of Charlie Chaplin’s left foot.  This keeps me limber.
7:00 pm:  My wife and I attended a benefit dinner and spa event for formerly incarcerated actors, where I sipped on non-alcoholic champagne and basked in the revolutionary “open sauna” with Zsa Zsa Gabor.  It is against the teachings of Nang-Kai-Yan to ingest meat while away from the home, so I did not try the steak dinner.
9:00 pm:  James Spader and Calista Flockhart came over for a late-night post-dinner dinner of roast duckling, haricots verts, and chips ‘n dip, because of my dashing sense of humor.
10:30 pm:  A serving of Hasty Pudding.  Harvard has promised me a lifetime supply, but they only deliver monthly so I keep a large stash in my specially cooled garage.

CELEBRITY TREND WATCH: SISTERS

Ever since trailblazers Tia and Tamera Mowry burst onto the scene, sisters have been a hot accessory.  This year, Sisters have made an amazing comeback.  For Fall, designers have been favoring a “less famous” Sister with “an unattractive but similar” look for their collections.  Don’t have a sister?  You can rock a less expensive version of this look at your next event by spiking the punch with a little Ambien. 

Megan Fox Attends Philippines Premiere, Debuts New Look
Megan Fox looked glamorous at the premiere of her new film, Jonah Hex, in Manila on Tuesday.  It seems that there were some big changes for Megan since the last time she was photographed a few weeks ago.  Photogs scrambled for pictures of what blogs are already calling the super-sexy Transformers star’s “new face.”  Sources say, however, that in this case, a picture isn’t worth a “thousand words.”  We have it on good authority that the photos don’t do justice to what attendees have described as a “powerful, almost frightening[ly]” sexy look.  And check out those intense baby blues!  We hope Brian Austin Green can handle it!

SPENCER PRATT’S TOP 10 DISGUISES
Number 1:  God
“This is the perfect disguise, because think about it—nobody knows what he looks like!  Having the kind of power that God has is amazing.  It’s kind of like being a celebrity.  Also when you start yelling, everyone gets REALLY scared.”

Number 3:  Sensitive Jungle Primate
“All of my disguises are amazing, but this one is probably the most profound and makes you learn about yourself, because it’s about like, how people and animals really relate to each other on a deep level that people really notice.  An ape is already a pretty good disguise because they look so much like humans—I had everyone talking to me pretty much like normal!  But if you start to be sensitive and show your feelings, and learn some sign language and stuff—that’s the kind of thing they make movies about.”

“The Beach Doctor disguise is really great because if a chick drowns or gets bit by a shark they will usually ask you to give her mouth-to-mouth.  Plus sunglasses make you look so cool.”
