Welcome to online-astoria.com

• I swear, if I have to read any more about Robsten’s (Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, for those of you living under rocks) rumored romance, I am going to vomit.  How am I supposed to blog about actual entertainment news when the whole internet is cluttered with this Twilight nonsense?!  It’s exhausting, having to weed through voyeuristic paparazzi photos of those two almost kissing and cuddling in public. I love celebrity gossip as much as anyone, but seeing these two on virtually every website I browse is like Chinese water torture…somebody please just make it stop!  Unless they get a photo of one of them actually sucking the other’s blood, I’m not interested.

• Speaking of romances that might make you feel physically ill, Bristol Palin’s baby daddy/ex-fiancee Levi Johnston is slated to get his own reality TV series.  You probably thought, “Nothing could be worse than the two of them having a show about raising their illegitimate child”.  But like me, you thought wrong.  Levi’s show, tentatively called “Loving Levi: The Road to the Mayor’s Office” is exactly what it sounds like: the 20-year-old will run for mayor of Wasilla, AK, an office once held by his would-be mother-in-law Sarah Palin.  The current mayor of Wasilla doesn’t sound too intimidated by Levi, suggesting that he “get a high school diploma and keep his clothes on”. Well-played, sir.  Since I’m pretty sure he’s the only politician to make me LOL, the mayor of Wasilla will be receiving some fan mail pretty soon.

• And because I can’t help but point out the stupidity of some conservatives crazy old man, Bill O’Reilly lashed out at Jennifer Aniston because she dared to point out that a woman who wants a baby doesn’t necessarily need a husband to help her do so, thanks to modern science.  She made the supposedly controversial statement in the context of an interview about her new movie, The Switch, which happens to be about a woman who uses a sperm donor to have a child on her own.  O’Reilly decided he should be a crusader for the traditional family structure and said Aniston was basically telling “12-year-olds and 13-year-olds that ‘Hey, you don’t need a guy! You don’t need a dad!” which is “destructive to our society.”  Aniston then clarified her point: “…of course, many women dream of finding Prince Charming (with fatherly instincts), but for those who’ve not yet found their Bill O’Reilly, I’m just glad science has provided a few other options”. Burn.

Girl power!
