DWTS star gets ready for her close-up

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Burning (Rhetorical) Questions

Drs. Colleen and Jason Olitsky (aka the The Smile Stylists) welcomed yet another celebrity client to their Ponte Vedra Beach office last week: Dancing With the Stars pro Anna Demidova. DWTS fans will remember Demidova as NFL Hall of Famer Michael Ervin's partner on the show's ninth season.

The Smile Stylists asked Demidova if she was going to be participating in the upcoming season, but she didn't know at the time. As good as Demidova is, her height is a disadvantage since shorter-than-they-appear-on-TV stars prefer not to dance with women who tower over them (we're talking to you, Mario Lopez and Joey Lawrence).

To me, the more important question is: Did they ask her to wear that sequined frock or does she always dress like that?

Three More Things You Didn't Know About Tyson Alualu

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Burning (Rhetorical) Questions

Stargazing is back! Did you miss us? ... Did you even notice we were gone?

Incase you were wondering where we've been (which would obviously not apply to those of you who didn't even notice we were gone), there was glitch in the database that caused us to lose all of our entries and prevented us from posting any new ones. Fortunately, we were able to recover almost all of the posts, and everything seems to be in working order again, so let the celebrity stalking begin anew!

That said, we thought it only fitting for our first post after our two-month hiatus to be about another first, like, say, the Jacksonville Jaguars' first-round draft pick doing his first-ever magazine interview. If you have the August issue of Jacksonville Magazine, you've probably already seen 10 Things You Didn't Know About Tyson Alualu and learned fascinating tidbits like he has seven sisters and got kicked out of Pop Warner football when he was in sixth grade for being too big.

But here are three more things you didn't know about him that didn't make it into the article.
1. He doesn't have any pet peeves.
2. After he washes his hair, he lets it air dry.
3. His favorite conditioner is Pantene Pro-V

Who else is going to ask these hard-hitting questions, people? Dan Hicken?

Burning (rhetorical) questions: Part two

Posted by Kerry Speckman Email   Category: Stargazing, Burning (Rhetorical) Questions

Can a mint really be called a mint if it isn't mint-flavored? I was at European Street the other day checking out their odd candy selection and saw Bacon Mints, Cupcake Mints, Vampire-Repelling Garlic Mints and, brace yourself, Chum Bucket Mints, none of which contain any mint.

I guess "Bacon Candy Disks" doesn't have the same ring to it.

When is the fascination with Lil Rounds' butt going to end? Since the American Idol finale, 67 searches for Lil Rounds butt/booty/fanny/bum/
heinie/bottom/rump/behind/derriere/buttocks/arse/badonkadonk were directed to The Specktator. Looks like there's no, ahem, end in sight.

Why don't dogs get hoarse from barking? (And don't say it can't get hoarse ... it's a dog.) If I go to a concert or sporting event and scream a lot, my voice is all scratchy the next day. The dog who lives in the apartment below me, however, can bark from 7 in the morning until noon every single day and never sounds raspy. (Actually, I guess this one isn't rhetorical.)
