ms. fox starred in her very own superbowl commercial this past weekend, which featured her promoting a motorola phone in – where else? – a bathtub. but when it came time for megan to show off the phone in a close-up, she enlisted the help of a stunt thumb!

apparently the little lady has brachydactyly which means she’s got a bit of a clubbed thumb (see picture). about 1 in 1,000 people “suffer” from the condition so she and her misshapen thumb are not alone.

considering the 30-second commersh cost about $3 million to air, it’s clear motorola was taking no chances when it came to the perfection of their ad. take a look at the commercial below, stunt thumb and all.

no, she won’t go away. especially not now! shamed new york governor eliot spitzer had a little run-around with call girl ashley dupre. and now the little lady thinks she’s got wisdom to share.

when the press uncovered tiger woods’ 14 (gasp!) mistresses, dupre opened her mouth with “advice” for the young women caught up in the scandal. well it appears that the new york post was listening, because they gone and hired her as an advice columnist! for reals. check out this extremely painful-to-watch promo video for her new gig.

ask her ANYthing, she says. she’ll be the inspiration for home-wreckers, mistresses, and hookers everywhere!

now it seems people are kinda turned off from the little lady. based upon an article in newsweek, ‘why is katherine heigl so annoying?’, it was her mouth that got her into trouble. first, she refused to submit her name for an emmy nomination because she didn’t feel the writers gave her material worthy of the award. not a good start. people viewed the actress as ungrateful. this started a downhill spiral, which has led creator chandra wilson to reconsider her role on ‘grey’s anatomy.’

the season finale left viewers hanging – will she be killed off? we don’t know yet. but as katherine made the rounds to promote her latest film, she let abc have it once again. she whined to late-night host david letterman “our first day back was wednesday and it was – i’m going to keep saying this because i hope it embarrasses them - a 17-hour day, which i think is cruel and mean.”

abc’s entertainment head steve mcpherson was none too pleased by her remarks. he had this to say in response: “people are going to behave in the way they choose to behave. there are so many people who work so hard on ‘grey’s,’ and all of our shows, without any notoriety and those are the ones i’d be concerned about, people who feel like they’re being criticized or looked down upon.” and there you have it! good luck, katherine.

16-year-old ‘gossip girl’ actress taylor momsen is this month’s teen vogue cover girl. that’s all well & good until you actually read the article. this little lady comes off very – well, strange. here are some highlights that might have you scratching your head.

forced into the spotlight: “i kind of grew up in front of the camera:  i started modeling when i was two. i was never pushed into it, but i never really chose it either.

don’t try to tell her she needs an education! “i found high school kind of boring i’m an artist; i’m not going to use trigonometry.”

too much, too soon: ”i’m taking college classes online — i want to major in language arts… for most people, college is a place where you learn about yourself, and i feel like i’m doing that already. i’m already independent. i live a very adult life.”

what, no friends? ”i have such trust complexes. i’m close to like two people. i’ve always been like that. people misinterpret what i say all the time. they think i’m being offensive, when really, i’m only being opinionated.”

the little one claims to have had “lots of relationships,” but that they are all much older than her. why? she says she would “eat a boy [her age] alive.” well, that’s good to know. days after the teen vogue cover went public, the momsen celebrated her 16th birthday like most kids do - rocking out in a sheer pink nightie with her band, pretty reckless. sooo normal!

with the explosion of lady gaga on the music scene, i think everyone is kinda wondering where this girl came from. she never wears pants, instead opting for leotard-esque bottoms. she wears bows in her hair that are made out of hair. anyway, she’s fiercely fought her way to the top in such a short time.

sometimes you see highschool photos of celebs, and it’s like oh haha they had a funny 90′s hairstyle. but this little lady did a major 180 from her highschool years! check out her senior entry in the yearbook… now you see the cute little girl next door, now you don’t. she’s lady GAGA now!
