The Best of 2008

Thanks to New York's Daily News, they have put together some of this year's most memorable quotes from the mouths of, shall we say, some of our favorite celebs:

"You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it's kind of crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I'm so moody all the time. I know I couldn't be able to run a country 'cause I'd be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, you know?" - Brooke Hogan on her reality show.

"Jesus was persecuted, and I'm going to get persecuted, you know?" - Heidi Montag to USA Today.

"I cried my eyelashes off." - Oprah Winfrey on Barack Obama's win in November.

"This song is for the emotionally retarded. You might know a few people who fall into that category. God knows I do." - Madonna shortly after her divorce became public.

"Somebody needs to step up and get this young woman into some quality care - and I do not apologize one whit, not one second, for trying to make this happen." - Dr. Phil on Britney Spears.

"Chace is built like a porcelain doll. I don't even know if he bleeds. He might have been crafted by Mattel. He has, like, the teen-idol genome. He's...beautiful." - Penn Badgley on costar Chace Crawford.

"I think it's really artsy. It wasn't in a skanky way. Annie took, like, a beautiful shot, and I thought that was really cool. That's what she wanted me to do, and you can't say no to Annie. She's so cute. She gets this puppy-dog look and you're like 'Okay.'" - Miley Cyrus on her controversial photo shoot for Vanity Fair.

Quote of the Day

"He's a bit of whore this year" - Chase Crawford on his Gossip Girl character Nate Archibald.

Summer Heat At Its Best

Chace Crawford celebrated his 23rd birthday at the Mercedes-Benz Polo Challenge in the Hamptons this past weekend with a bbq and his friends from Texas and California.

Nate Archibald, wearing a polo, playing polo, I knew there was a reason why I should be spending my summer weekends in the Hamptons!

OMG

Gossip Girl tonight!

Little J queen bee?
Part 2 of the Nate-Blair-Chuck triangle?
Dan and Serena's perfect love story continued?

Can't wait!

Oh and p.s...due to the perfect Spring NYC weather, I sat on the steps of The Met this past weekend Gossip Girl style, (while sporting a Blair Waldorf-inspired headband mind you) waiting to catch a glimpse of one of my fav. Upper East Siders, and nothing! So disappointed!

Texting Is The New Breakup

Country star Carrie Underwood has revealed that her and hottie Chace Crawford broke up by text message.

"We broke up over text...so it's like 'peace out,'" she told Extra Sunday night. 

Claiming the split was mutual, Underwood had nothing bad to say about the Gossip Girl star. "I don't dislike him, so it's no big deal."

Crawford on the other hand, had a harder time. 

Sister Candace explained that her brother was upset by the breakup. "It's always hard when you lose a relationship."

And the reasoning behind the high profile split...what else, fame.
