GESPONSERT
Charlie Sheen is gay!!! Well, not really. He is getting candid about his homoerotic (crack fueled) escapades, though. Before I get into Charlie and his new Netflix documentary I comment on this year's Emmys. I would really love it if some celebs started to style themselves because I'm starting to think everyone is looking a tad too polished. Just an observation! I also can't help but talk about my new favorite Lindsay Lohan Instagram post in which she combines photos of herself on plates of food. How deliciously creative! Then I talk about the amazing new episode of The Goop Podcast featuring the wrongfully convicted hottie, Amanda Knox. How did this girl hold on to her sanity? Lastly, I touch on my disliking of Kate Middleton's overly highlighted hair. Get back to the salon and fix it, princess! Listen now <3…
