Welcome to THE POP FIX.

I know that you’re probably thinking that this site has had more facelifts than Joan Rivers. But that’s not true…we’ve had more facelifts than Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, and Janice Dickinson combined.

Although this may be the sad truth, let’s not forget where we are. This is LA and the only thing worse than going out of style is looking like it. So here is our new and improved site. It’s bigger, it’s better, and it’s staffed with the juiciest of hand-picked pop culture enthusiasts who are waiting to supply you with your next fix.

If it’s pop culture you crave, you’ve come to the right place.

So, thank you for coming back to visit us, and keep checking back for your latest fix.

Love,
THE POP FIX

The Los Angeles Times apologized to Sean “Diddy” Combs today for alluding the mogul to legendary rapper, Tupac Shakur’s death. The Times reported that “Diddy” knew of the plot to kill Shakur before it occurred. Apparently, The Times received their information from an FBI report that was a total fabrication made by con artist, James Sabatino, 31.

The Times published their story on March 17, 2008 and stated that their information relied on “FBI records recently obtained by The Times” and unnamed sources behind bars.

This is a huge embarrassment to The Times and their reputation is seriously in question. By being conned by the fat white man who is nothing but an obsessive fan above, I don’t know how they’ll ever bounce back from this. The Times has never been as prestigious as The NY Times, Washington Post, or The Chicago Tribune, but has been publishing various works, gaining accolades left and right, to become a publishing heavyweight. This incident will definitely put them back another five years. What a shame.

Emile Hirsh + Christina Ricci = Box Office Magic.

These two young actors are both known for their quirky roles. America fell in love with Hirsh as the high school president who falls into trouble after falling for a porn star in 2004′s “The Girl Next Door.” And who could forget Ricci’s performance in the critically acclaimed “Monster.” With the knowledge that they are in their own right, we are expecting big things when they come together as Speed and Trixie in “Speed Racer.”

Random Trivia Question: In 2006 Ricci and Hirsh both starred in films that featured former N’SYNCer Justin Timberlake. Scroll down for the answer.

Random Trivia Answer: “Black Snake Moan” and “Alpha Dog”

Remember a post not too long ago when one of our bloggers, Erin, wrote about the pains of packing for a vacay? Well, she’s definitely not alone in her dread for packing. All of us share the worries of overpacking and underpacking. Don’t you wish you could have someone make a list for you? Wouldn’t you want to never be unprepared for an excursion again?

I found a site called dontforgetyourtoothbrush.com which devotes itself to making a list so that you don’t ever have to forget anything ever again. Trust me, visit this site, it is well worth your five minutes unless you want to be like me and the times when I:

-Forgot to bring shampoo having to go so hair-greasy that I could have fried my own breakfast without the need of oil…scratch that. I could have supplied an entire KFC in downtown Atlanta with hot, fresh, natural grease–truly finger lickin’ good.

-Didn’t bring a swimming suit which led to an embarrassing experience dipping in the pool in my underwear which later fell off of my non-existent badonk-a-donk when I jumped in the pool.

-Left contact solution at home leaving me with some gunky and slimy eyes for three days leading to a sty in the eye.

So before you leave on that Spring break vacation of your dreams, check out Dontforgetyourtoothbrush.com. And really guys, don’t forget your toothbrush. I mean, a finger dipped in toothpaste scrubbing your tequila drenched, taco salad tongue and teeth is just not a sanitary alternative.

With the recent sex-tape scandal of Kristin Davis (Sex and the City,) it’s obvious that these celebrities are smarter than we think.
The whole point in being a celebrity is that you’re famous. And when that fame starts to dwindle and slip away, you gotta do something fast or your next paycheck just may be from your old shows still in syndication somewhere in Jamaica. While this might be an easy way of living, it’s not fabulous, and to live a rich and famous lifestyle, you gotta rake in the dough somehow–even if it means stripping your clothes, taking a camera, making sweet love, and getting HIV in the morning.

So when Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Pam Anderson, Kid Rock, Ray J’s sex tapes came out, it wasn’t some dumb mistake, it was very business savvy.

Take for instance, Paris Hilton. When her sex tape came out with her screwing around with Shannon Doherty’s ex, Rick Soloman, she was just another socialite on her way to the B-list. After it came out, she became this huge phenomenon and received not only modeling and acting gigs, but publishing, fragrances, reality television, and oversea deals sealing her fame and bumping her to permanent A-list status.

Kim Kardashian was solely known as being the daughter of OJ Simpson’s lawyer. After going to a few events, she became known just as one of Paris Hilton’s friend. After her sex tape with Ray J, bam! she got a cover on Playboy, received her own reality TV series, and even got a new, more famous boyfriend, Reggie Bush.

So since Kristin Davis, known only as the role of Charlotte York on SATC, released her own sex tape, we know she’ll become an A-lister as quickly as LiLo getting gonorrhea–of the eye. She’ll no longer just be known as that one girl from that one HBO show, but that one girl who had a sex tape that allowed her to become a star.

If this works for celebrities, I’m thinking it might just work for me. So should I stalk some A-lister, make a sex tape, release it to the world, and become famous? Wait, guys don’t get famous from sex tapes, you say? Let’s see…Ray J, Rick, Tommy Lee. You’re right, BUNK THAT SHIZZ!

On second thoughts, how about I get famous the traditional way–sleeping with a famous much older woman, cougar style? Liza Minnelli here I come!

Dear readers,

I’ve made a new discovery (please don’t rain on my parade and say that you do this too.)

Recently, I’ve discovered the joys of freezing fruit. Call me crazy, but I can never eat tangerines the same way before. The frozen tangerines are succulent treats that are not only tart, sweet, and sour, but actually a little creamy–a little like sorbet (not kidding.)

Just pop the tangerines in your freezer, let them freeze for about an hour and then take them out to defrost. If you try to peel the tangerines straight frozen, it will be extremely difficult. Let them defrost for about thirty minutes or so. A good indication is when the outer layer’s frozen condensation begins to melt. It should be easy to peel and should only take no more than a minute. You’ll be surprised with the juicy frozen center that actually tastes like a frozen orange drink mixed with a subtle dessert.

But not all frozen fruits are tasty. Take it from me, a freezing fruit guru who loves freezing everything and anything (including milk…don’t ask why,) somethings are better left the way they are.

Do NOT try frozen: strawberries, watermelon, bananas (too hard,) blackberries or apples (unless you want to chuck it at someone’s head.)

DO try: blueberries, kiwis, grapes, mangoes, pineapples, lemons and limes. If you have a blender, blend various fruits together for healthy, easy, fresh drink!
