This morning, gem of all gems, Betty White, told Meredith Vieira on "Today" that she plans to sing, act, dance, and even show us a little bit of skin when she hosts "Saturday Night Live" this Saturday. But not too much, because she's classy and she has to be as professional as Jay-Z (the musical guest). But still, lesson learned, everyone: after seven decades in entertainment Betty is still keen on proving she's not above the rest of 'em.

Ummm, let's be honest Ryan Reynolds... You could wear whatever you wanted and get away with it. You were voted one of this year's Most Beautiful People for People magazine. Although, I am not sure if they make Hannah Montana pajamas that would fit your frame.

This was Jonathan Adler's response to New York Magazine's question, "Have you and Simon Doonan visited Brooklyn recently now that a Barneys Co-op is opening there?"

Yes, perhaps a baby with facial hair glued on his face, in a stroller would be less conspicuous.

Well we are! We're quite surprised! Marc and Lorenzo were supposed to be together forever! They were going to be one of those crazy old couples you see holding hands while walking down the street, or buttoning each other's buttons in the dressing rooms at Barney's, and saying to the barista, "no, my husband only drinks skim milk!" Now what couple are we going to aspire to? George Michael and Kenny Goss? No thanks.

Looks like we're screwed.

Calling restaurant ownership "more livable" than nightclub ownership, he muses, "Maybe I'll retire and shape surboards."

Bonus: Chloe Sevigny has promised to design the waitress outfits, so hopefully they'll look like this:

Paula Abdul, you are one classy broad. We're glad you and  your crafty web ways are back because if you found out about Perez Hilton's birthday party on Craigslist, that means you're available for parties and bar mitzvahs!

Ok, shut up, Anne Hathaway. We saw pictures of you at last night's Valentine's Day premiere, at last week's Hasty Pudding Parade, and at Paris Fashion Week.

Here's what we were thinking: "Ugh, Anne Hathaway, that lucky bitch, with her long legs and shiny hair and front row seats at the Giorgio Armani Prive show and adorable boyfriend and Oscar nominations and BFF-dom with Meryl Streep."

Here's what we ere not thinking: "Whoa, check out the large features and small head on Hathaway!"

So please, stop complaining.
