Lindsey Lohan a Hoarder???

Lindsey-LohanFirst of all, lets analyze what a hoarder is exactly. Here is the description according to Wiki:

Compulsive hoarding (or pathological hoarding or disposophobia or the Messie mindset) is a mental disorder marked by an obsessive need to acquire (and failure to use or discard) a significant amount of possessions, even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary. Compulsive hoarding causes significant clutter and impairment to basic living activities, including mobility, cooking, cleaning, showering, and sleeping. A person who engages in compulsive hoarding is commonly said to be a “pack rat”, in reference to that animal’s apparent fondness for material objects.”

The question on everyone’s mind is, is Lindsey actually disturbed or is she just really rich and has no time to organize all the crap she buys. Well, I seem to disagree with the second statement. All celebrities are rich, but i’m pretty sure they don’t just through all their stuff in a room and forget about it. You have money… hire someone to organize all your stuff, add another room to your million dollar mansion and use it strictly for closet space! Just check out these celebrity closets from InStyle magazine; they look nothing like Lindsey Lohan’s mess.

According to a clinical psychologist that interviewed for PopEater.com, “Lohan is filling an emotional void and channeling her search to find perfectionism, as well as the fact that she is showing an over attachment to objects rather than intimate relationships which may be lacking in her life. Typically hoarders place a high emotional value on items that may represent a high point in their life or even cover up emotional pain like not feeling loved as a child.”

Look, I used to be a huge fan of Lindsey and always thought she was pretty cool but lately she just looks so crazy and dirty. Seriously… every time she takes a picture, it looks like she has dirt on her face, she shouldn’t be hoarding shoes, she should be hoarding some face wash. And last but not least, if she is going on a show that documents hoarders… SHE’S A HOARDER! The Insider had Niecy Nash (Whom you probably know as Bonita the school principal from The Bernie Mac Show) from Clean House explain what went down.

Does Kristin Cavallari Look a Little Too Skinny?

kristin-cavallari2I recently saw a very unflattering picture of Kristin Cavallari on People.com and honestly was not surprised. The Laguna Beach star who recently joined the cast of The Hills has been spotted earlier this month in Las Vegas, celebrating her 23rd birthday.

Kristin moved to Laguna Beach, California to live with her father and her brother after her parents divorced, and began filming Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County in her junior year of high-school. After a love triangle in her senior year with her high-school sweetheart Stephen Colletti and The Hills sweetheart Lauren Conrad, Cavallari pretty much disappeared. She’s done a couple of movies that went to straight to DVD but that was pretty much it.

It’s not hard to understand why Kristin Cavallari and her fellow California girl, Heidi Montag are in constant struggle with themselves. Hollywood does not make it easy… it’s hard enough for us to fight body images, can you imagine what it’s like for girls that are actually in the spot light? It’s just sad.

In the picture to the left, Kristin looks very healthy and fit in her little black bathing suit. But in the picture to the right, Cavallari looks extremely scrawny and frail.

Along with Stephanie Pratt’s DUI… The new season of The Hills is looking like all kinds of wrong. I’m still waiting for sweet little Lauren Conrad to start some drama.

The Taco Bell Drive-Thru Diet… Is this For Real?

Tco-Bell-Drive-thru-dietBoy oh boy I wish it was. If you’ve watched TV in the last month or so, you have probably seen the new Taco Bell drive-thru diet commercials. As part of the latest craze to stay healthy, Taco Bell came out with its own version of the Veggie Burger – The Fresco Menu. The commercial stars a lady named Christine Dougherty who miraculously lost 54 pounds in 2 years with the help of Taco Bell’s Fresco menu. Funny enough Taco Bell made disclaimers like ” The fresco menu is NOT a low-calorie food“. Even Christine Dougherty’s statement states the following:

“As you know, the Drive-Thru Diet® menu is not a weight-loss program. For me, I didn’t want to cut out my fast food so I started choosing Fresco items from the Drive-Thru Diet® menu and making other sensible choices

And my favorite…

“These results aren’t typical, but for me they were fantastic!”

Notice the bolded parts? makes you wonder if it’s the “other sensible choices” she made that helped her lose all that weight, or the fact that she had a burrito with no cheese. Are you kidding me? who’s to say that in the midst of all the Taco Bell runs, she didn’t have a salad from Burger King?… can we credit her weight loss to that fine fast food organization? Well, let’s look at the facts more closely. The Fresco menu includes delectable treats like a Fresco steak taco, burrito supreme, bean burrito, both soft and crunchy tacos and the ranchero chicken soft taco. But are they really better for you then the originals? Lets compare one.

Tco-Bell-Drive-thru-diet-2

Would you look at that, the fresco burrito has 20 fewer calories than the original… I feel the weight melting off already. Lets also note that it has more carbohydrates, more sodium and less protein then the original. All great things when your trying to lose weight. NOT. So for conclusion, if you are really trying to lose weight… exercise and don’t eat Taco Bell.

Want to try this “miracle food”? grab a free taco coupon, and hurry… they are only giving out a million of these.

Debra Messing Raising HIV Awareness In Zimbabwe

Debra-MessingAnd in serious news: Our funny and quirky Will & Grace star, Debra Messing, is one serious lady. Apart from being an Emmy Award winning actress, Messing acts as a Population Services International (PSI) Ambassador. Grace is currently ‘touring’ the great nation of Zimbabwe in order to raise awareness for HIV and the need for resources. The HIV rate in Zimbabwe has dramatically declined from somewhere around 25% in 2003 to 14% today. Looks like the relevant organizations are focusing on training hairdressers as educators on the dangers of the disease as well as common misconceptions and general questions.

The interestingly creepy picture to your left, has been circulating DeadSpin.com and is showing Debra Messing holding the hand of a guy who’s about to get his Dick snapped off by a smiling mad man in a room full of curious observers. No this is not a weird horror movie scene. In addition to the hair salons, Messing also visited a male circumcision clinic in Harare. For many medical reasons, circumcision is not just for Jewish people anymore and has proved effective  at reducing HIV infections, more than any vaccine currently in development. PSI as well as other organizations, have trained 120 health care workers in male circumcision delivery and helped them perform the procedure on more than 2,500 men who had requested the operation.

Celebrity Mental Disorders Exposed!

Although we would like to think that celebrities are indestructible and that they lead perfect happy lives, they are actually human just like the rest of us. They get sick, hurt and believe it or not, they get depressed. Being in the public eye 24/7 makes some people even more susceptible to psychological battles. Many stars battle common disorders almost daily but some have come out in the open and have shared their ordeal with the world in order to possibly help others in the same situations.

Justin-Chambers110. Justin Chambers – Insomnia
Playing a successful surgeon on ABC’s popular series Grey’s Anatomy might sound glamorous but having a full time career, a marriage and five kids will make anyone lose sleep. For a while there, Justin was reportedly sleeping no more then one hour a week which led him straight to the hospital. His sleepless nights might have stayed hidden if the hunky doctor didn’t just happen to share the mental word with a bald sedated Britney Spears. Sleep disorders (There’s about 17 different kinds) plague many of our favorite celebs and considering their status and wealth, they have access to a lot of over the counter prescriptions as well as illegal drugs at their finger tips. Sleeping pills, combined with other prescriptions are extremely dangerous and in many cases make matters worse rather than better. Heath Ledger is one unfortunate example. Heath suffered from a chronic sleep disorder and combining sleeping pills with other drugs contributed to his death.

Delta-Burke9. Delta Burke – Compulsive Hoarding
Even though Burke has battled depression since the tender age of 16, she has managed to live through a big part of her adult life without a hitch. At 30, she joined the cast of the CBS sitcom Designing Women as Suzanne Sugarbaker and played the role for 5 years until a new disorder began taking it’s tole. Burke began collecting her possessions and unable to throw anything out no matter how small. She had constant panic attacks that derailed her career and experienced suicidal tendencies. At some point she actually had 27 storage units full of well … crap.  She eventually began working through her disorder and even joked that she might just have a garage sale and get rid of all the possessions she had been hoarding for years. To date she is still battling the disease on a daily basis but is doing much better after getting rid of many storage units and staying on the right medication.

carrie-fisher18. Carrie Fisher – Bipolar
She began her career as the original Star Wars Trilogy Princess Leia but needless to say that the fame and fortune only contributed to her disorder. As most Hollywood folk, she tried to self medicate but combining cocaine, acid and prescription percodan almost killed her. Once her condition became public she entered rehab and remained clean. She was later diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, prone to mood swings, hallucinations, depression, mania and delusions. In 1997 she suffered an allergic reaction to her depression medication which led to a psychotic break. Since her traumatic experience she has been taking the right medication and living her life hoping her situation will eventually get better and that it will hopefully help someone out there. She hopes they know that they are not alone. Carrie has also appeared in some recent movies, one of them being the thriller Sorority Row.
