goop

Gwyneth Paltrow has created a new lifestyle site called GOOP. Although there is no real content up yet, she explains that GOOP will be a “collection of experiences.”  I like that expression.  It’s what I’ve realized Somewhere in Middle America has always been–a collection of my experiences.  I’ve written about being engaged, getting married, moving, [...]

a celeb engagement

Mazel Tov to the happy couple — Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz. May your marriage last longer than Jessica’s and Nick’s.
I happen to think this is a really adorable photo of the couple.

take me to heidiwood

DailyCandy’s irreverent review of Heidi Montag’s new clothing line, Heidiwood, is a brilliant.
“…The striped minidresses, brightly colored tanks, short shorts, and denim tops that highlight the first collection are perfect for frolicking on the beach with the douchey love of your life and showing off your surgeon’s shoddy skills.”
