Dave Hill's Tasteful Nudes: THE Interview
Dave Hill's book of personal essays, Tasteful Nudes, came out today. If you're in a bad mood, or place, just pick it up! Boom. Problems temporarily solved. Not to give everything away, but here are some things about Dave: dude worked at a homeless shelter, opened for Slash, went on a nudist cruise as a non-nudist, grew up in a big Catholic family in Cleveland, drove a pedicab, was depressed at times but had family to lean on who weren't all like "AH! You're leaning on me! Stop leaning on me!" He's like Bill Bryson, except not. We chatted about it. READ MORE
Beth Ditto for President. Or Dictator. Or God.
Gossip performed at Cannes yesterday and thank goodness some French TV people were there to make a pretty video because they murdered it. Love everything Beth does here, but then fall out of your chair, dead from an overfilled heart, at 4:09.

Do you, Bridey, take this man by proxy to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold by the laws of God and of this state?” READ MORE
Beauty Q&A: ID Photos, Gaudy Shoes, and Looking 10 Years Younger
1. I'm 23, but consistently read as at least 10 years older. Not that there's anything wrong with looking 30-something, but sometimes it's awkward — like when people see me with my dad and assume I'm his girlfriend. My best guess as to why I look older is the thinness of my face, plus a couple small wrinkles on my forehead. READ MORE
What Not to Wear to Madame Tussauds
Have you ever been to a wax museum? It is kind of terrifying! Here's what happens at the one in Hollywood: There are three floors of exhibitions. They tell you it's okay to touch the wax people (!!!) but please, not their hair or faces. Take as many photos as you want. The only wax person in the lobby is Joan Rivers and that's fine; you hardly have to look at her because she's behind you as you wait for the elevator. She doesn't shut up, though, which makes you feel bad for the attendant who stands next to her all day taking tickets. Anyway, then you ride up however many floors and the doors open and there are people everywhere, like any museum. READ MORE
