SJP Buys Another House!
This will make house #3 for the Parker-Broderick clan near the Long Island shoreline.
Perhaps its time to look to other places for real estate.
Sources say that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick quietly bought another home on Long Island’s East End, dropping $5.8 million on the humble abode.
The couple is reportedly bringing the whole brood to the new place in June, when Matthew starts filming a new NBC pilot about an author hired to run a Hamptons newspaper.
Snooze! We’ll skip that.
But hey, do you think they bought the third house to be fair to the kids? A beachfront house for each of them for when they grow up?!
That’ll be one hell of a graduation gift!

Comments of the Day: New Ways to Ignore Things [We Read You]
Mondays are the worst. Everyone hates them and you hate everyone when it is Monday. Luckily we have you, our loyal and would-totally-kill-for-us-if-we-asked-you-nicely commentariat. Here, recognition junkies: Two of our favorite comments from this terrible, terrible Monday.Steve Jobs is so angry about Twitter and iPads and things. Commenter grubish1 is sort of angry at Steve Jobs:
Apple is completely revolutionizing the way Americans ignore tablet computers.
You know what else everyone hates? Valemtime’s Deigh. Except now we’re not allowed to hate it anymore. So if we have to do it, at least we can have dirty relations, right BeenGay?
So that’s that! Hope you’re all happy. See you Tuesday! Which is tomorrow. Sigh.

Drew Barrymore: Rear-Ended By Paparazzo
Venturing out for a pampering session, Drew Barrymore was spotted visiting the Byron salon in Beverly Hills on Monday afternoon (February 8).
The “ET” actress was a bit shy as she exited the beauty parlor after getting her golden locks touched up, as she covered her face before hopping in her ride.
From there, things took a turn for the worse, as Miss Barrymore was on Beverly Blvd. and Doheny Dr. when she was rear-ended by a paparazzo at a stop light.
Quite upset over the situation, Drew proceeded to lay into the shutterbug upon exiting her car – with the two quickly exchanging information before Miss Barrymore proceeded to head back home.

Lost Season 6 Premiere: A Deconstruction
Lost season premieres are a mix of feverish anticipation and universal befuddlement. Now, penetrating the heart of the island, we’re going to deconstruct the latest double episode, LA X, with the microscopic precision of the best forum-dwelling underling you can find.
To recap: The last season ended on typically unusual grounds – with some of the survivors underground and others inside an ancient Egyptian toe. Still, with Ben getting the grumps with the god-like Jacob, Locke turning out to be an evil doppelganger and Juliet detonating a nuclear bomb, it sent the whole premise in a giant tailspin.
So, keeping a sharp mind, we point out the bits you should have been paying attention to in Friday night’s new episode:
In traditional Lost rug-pulling fashion, we start off back on Oceanic 815, with the bomb detonation resulting in a reset – except things are slightly different. Jack is back on the plane, with a look suggesting he either remembers something about the Island or the person sitting next to him has just guffed. Probably the former, given the mysterious cut on his neck (a pre-bomb battle scar?) and his surroundings.
Differences from the original plane to note: Bernard managing to take a crap in the toilet without falling out the back of the plane, Hobbit Charlie choking on his drugs, Season one’s Boone minus his sister Shannon, the air hostess deciding not to give Jack as much booze as in the original and Hurley being uncursed by the numbers.
Most importantly, Scotsman Desmond was on the plane, instead of sitting in a room pushing buttons every 108 minutes in a life far too depressingly similar to ours. Jack seems to recognise him as well, which, is probably significant.
After we’ve seen Bizzaro Oceanic Flight 815, the show cuts to a circa ‘95 Windows screensaver, plunging the viewer underwater to reveal the Island’s more aquatic location in this alt-verse.
In another interesting turn of events, it appears we are back on the island, with Jack and co also being flung forward to present time (well, 2007), now creating two timelines. Clearly the nuclear device was the most non-effective of all time, as everybody seems to have survived the blast.
In 2007 we are also back with the now evil Locke (Cocke, as the kids are sure to call him) acting all self-important after convincing Ben to do away with his nemesis Jacob. Not an episode for peripheral supporting players, he soon rains down pain by turning into the smoke monster and killing three people. When he turns back into Cocke, he apologises to Ben for seeing him like that, sounding like a guilty teenager after his mum has absently caught him masturbating. He also mentioned being a bit homesick as well, bless him.
As the episode decides to spiral more into lunacy, Hurley takes the gang on a mission to save Sayid at dead Jacob’s behest (he can see dead people). They visit The Temple, the seemingly tribal grounds of The Others (did you spot ex-air hostess Cindy?) and playing home to John Lennon and that bloke from Sunshine. Here, they dunk Sayid underwater to boil for twenty minutes or so until tender, leaving him to cool down for a further ten until resurrected from the dead, serving us a satisfying climax to the episode.
Lost Season six launches by copying Sliding Doors – having two different timelines running parallel – but instead of having to watch John Hannah we get an actual charismatic Scotsman. Time travel, dead people, smoke monsters, underwater islands and John Lennon; Lost is either the most brilliantly audacious and absurd show on television or a complete load of mythological turd. We dunno which either, but we’ll be back for more.
