Time for McGinn to stop talking and start doing
The most accurate counsel to deliver about Mayor Mike McGinn is the famous Bette Davis line spoken in the flick "All About Eve": Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night.
Hizzoner is the object of much good will and private worry.
McGinn largely ad-libbed his inaugural speech on Saturday. "He does his lawyer thing and does it extemporaneously," said communications director Mark Matassa. The speech displayed an attorney's courtroom skill, but gave no hint of an ability to negotiate or to decide or to direct.
McGinn talked for 40 minutes. He promised to have the city talking about itself ceaselessly in the days and months ahead. If this administration has an agenda, it's the "Seattle Way" on steroids.
The mayor took up the theme of "community engagement." He promised to stage "a series of forums and symposiums," on the broad theme: "How do we change how we do engagement in this town?"
The problem of youth and gangs will, McGinn promised, be addressed with "intensive public engagement," specifically "a series of public forums on youth and family." They may change city policy on youth violence. The Seattle Police Department went unmentioned.
Curbed LA: Bette Davis' Former Home In Hollywood
This 1920 three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath house is intriguing. Parts of it are beautiful, other parts baffling. The listing markets it as an "emotional light-filled & newly renovated 1920’s classic beauty" with a large living room, hardwood floors, Carrera marble in the kitchen, a fireplace and French doors. There's also a pool and guesthouse that has been converted into a professional sound studio. It was also once the home of Better Davis, according to the listing . The most disturbing room is the master bedroom. The en suite bath looks pretty good, but the bedroom itself - well, let's just say that's a whole lotta look. We're not anti-wallpaper. Some of our best friends have wallpaper. We just wish it was used a bit more...judiciously. The house was last sold in 2004 for $1.195 million. Today's asking price: $1.749 million.

Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Here’s Christina Aguilera ringing in the New Year at Tao nightclub. We haven’t seen much Xtina, ever since she had kids, but this new look of hers isn’t working for me. Her funbags look deflated and the rest of her body looks like it belong to a 35 year old crack whore. I don’t even want to ask how much? See more pictures now!!!

The last time I had pictures of Molly Sims on the site she was doing some weird sh#t with her puppies and I remember thinking that that was the end of her hotness. Well, I’m glad that she’s decided to prove me wrong by prancing around and shaking her ass in her little bikini. How thoughtful. See more pictures now!!!

If you ask me, there’s not much in this mixed up world more enjoyable than to watch a hot chick try on swimsuits in a sexy pair of heels. Here’s Lindsay Lohan and her delicious chesticles doing just that. I have to say that I’m impressed, if I were there I’d pay for the damn thing myself. After I came to, of course, because chances are all my blood would have quickly rushed from my head causing me to pass out like a gay guy at a Jonas Brothers concert See more pictures now!!!

Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
I don’t really know what Kate Hudson is doing in these pictures, but I’m glad she decided to do it in a short little skirt. I know it kinda looks like a sixty year old hippy’s sundress, but I like her sexy legs so who gives a shit. Although, a little sun wouldn’t hurt. I’m still annoyed that she hasn’t done something about her boobs, or lack there of. This is Hollywood baby, everybody does it. I wonder how many times she’s heard that before.

Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Here’s Kanye West’s girlfriend/thing Amber Rose out in West Hollywood. I’m not going to lie, if Aliens touched down on Earth and they looked like this, I’d probably hit it, but for now the unknown scares me. Who am I kidding, I’d still hit that, as long as it doesn’t have teeth on its privates.
