I had no idea that we have grandfather clock personalities until I ran across a blog post on Grandfather Clocks Personality Profile. As the post points out, marketing groups have broken down personality types of target groups for marketing campaigns for about every product you can think of to sell. I guess grandfather clocks are no exception.

Reading about that inspired me to go and look at 1-800-4Clocks and check out their clocks. Home decor is part of your personal fashion. I usually lean towards more contemporary or deco designs so I didn’t expect to find much I’d like. I had a certain image in my mind of what a grandfather clock looks like. You know, the ones we’ve seen in everybody’s house since we were kids. Interestingly, they aren’t all like that. In fact, there are tons of designs that would fit anyone’s Grandfather Clocks Personality Profile!

I like the Kieninger Edwards Grandfather Clock pictured here. It is part of their Kieninger collection. Its sleek, modern, versatile in style and just fabulous! I can picture it in my living room as a focal point when someone walks into the room.

That’s just one of many beautiful grandfather clocks you can view at 1-800-4Clocks. The specific address is http://www.1-800-4clocks.com/grandfather-clocks.html.

This is just one grandfather clock in a huge selection of beautiful clocks of all kinds. You can shop by brand or type of clock. Their inventory includes wall clocks, mantle clocks. It also includes Howard Miller clocks, Bulova Clocks, Ridgeway Clocks, Kieninger Clocks, Seth Thomas Clocks.

There is something for everyone.

Jessica Simpson busted a move at the Frederick’s of Hollywood Fashion Show. Ken Paves, celeb hair stylist, is looking at her like ‘what the f**k’! What comes to mind is ‘Ole!’

Carrie Underwood and Gossip Girl’s Chace Crawford were seen out together last week. First word of advice, a girl should never go out with a guy who has a chance of being prettier than her. Another word, don’t dress so that you look older than him. I’m just saying ….

Its getting cold here so its the time of year that our minds start wandering to the enticements of warmer climates. You know what that means … bikini wax time! That’s just one of those pains we women have to suffer in order to look fabulous.

Heidi Klum and Seal have quite a love story. I was just reading about their backgrounds and commitment to each other. Its inspiring really.

Of course, Heidi told the Oprah and the world that when she first saw her future husband, one of the first things she noticed about him was the bulge in his pants. She has no problem telling people that he’s hung like a horse. Seal has recently mentioned that with their youngest being 11 months old, this is the longest period of time he’s known his wife with her not being pregnant. He says she’s got her body back and that its real good fun. He also enjoys her famously named boobs, Hans and Franz.

Obviously, the bloom isn’t off the rose

Seal’s story of pulling himself up from a broken childhood in the deepest poverty is one that is well worth the read. Heidi hired a detective to find the foster family that provided him with an oasis of peace in the midst of the hardships of his childhood. He was reunited with them on that Oprah show.

Read more of their story here.

Seal’s new CD System is scheduled for release on November 12th on Warner Bros.

I love Russell Crowe. I really do. I’ve loved him every since I saw him in Virtuosity and didn’t even know what his name was. I told my husband that I would leave him for Russell. He didn’t seem too concerned about it, he just told me that he’d get a good settlement so I should go for it.

I was a little disappointed when Russell threw a phone at the hotel clerk. I wasn’t disappointed he got aggressive, I was disappointed he threw a phone. That just doesn’t fit his image. I felt better about it when I heard him explain that two guys were hold him back and all he could do was throw the phone. What a relief!

What can I tell you …. I just love that mischievous twinkle in his eyes and his bad boy image.

Russell got all talkative the other day and started gossiping about different co-stars. That is not at ALL characteristic of him, so its made the rounds of gossip blogs and news outlets. He gave a lot of info on other celebs ….

Russell Crowe on Leonardo DiCaprio

“You know, I worked with Leonardo [DiCaprio] when he was 17,” Crowe recalls. “He was a virgin and he’d talk about that constantly.”
“I’m hoping … he can fill [me] in on what’s happened in between, maybe show some photos,” Crowe laughs in Entertainment Weekly. “I’m sure life’s different now.”

Russell Crowe on Spike Lee

“I said something to Spike [Lee] one night, and he’s never been the same to me since,” he says. “He was trying to get me to play [German boxer] Max Schmeling in the Joe Louis story. If I was in it, he’d get this $100 million financing. But it’s just a secondary role. And I said to him, “I want to be Joe Louis. I want to be Muhammad Ali. If you want to work with me, let me be Joe Louis. … I think he took it the wrong way. … I don’t get any more birthday cards from him.”

Russell Crowe on Denzel Washington referring to a scene they did in Viruosity.

“We had to do a scene where there’s a piece of cyclone wire fencing between us,” says Crowe. “I had to be really rabid and weird, and … a bit of spit comes out of my mouth … and it weaves itself neatly through the fencing and lands right on Denzel’s lip. … And I’m going, Oh man … I’m doing my audition, and I spit on Denzel Washington. I might as well just go home and hang myself right now. … He just kept on doing the scene, and at the end, they said ‘cut,’ and he’s looking at me and the spit’s still sitting there and he goes, ‘I love the taste of warm saliva in the morning.’?”

Kim Kardashian is such a skank. Did I write that? I probably shouldn’t have because it wasn’t very nice. But don’t you just feel dirty looking at her. There’s just something about her that is just …. skanky. I don’t even know if that’s how you spell skanky.

Kim is famous for copying her famous former BFF by being in a sex video that accidentally somehow found its way onto every horny teenaged boy’s computer. She was just mortified, of course. She just couldn’t believe that such a terrible thing had happened to her. Even worse, her former BFF got a lot more famous in the aftermath of her tape than Kim got from hers and that’s just … well … humiliating! It made her former BFF super famous and it was going to damn well do the same for her.

Since then Kim has busted her butt attending parties, posing and poking out her ass to get more famous. Its been a lot of work. Kim has perfected the art of emphasizing her huge ass. She poses so that it can be seen at its best advantage. That and she makes sure her cleavage is always shown to its best advantage as well.

I read somewhere that her mother is managing her career. So much for her embarrassment that her family saw her naked! And what career are we talking about here? Publicity? Sex? Booty? Well, the more she shows it off the more famous she gets.

BTW - I think these pics have been photoshopped. Her ass is not as big in these pics as it is in most of the pics I’ve seen as her and she’s thinner in other areas of her body too. That’s just my opinion.

She’s still a skank.

Paris Hilton’s plans to do good in the world is going to have to wait just a little bit longer. Her much hyped trip to Rwanda to do good has been postponed.

Paris was heading out to Rwanda with the Playing for Good Foundation next month, but its been announced that the organization is restructuring. For some reason, restructuring the organization means Paris won’t be going to Rwanda to do the good she was planning on doing.

The 26-year-old socialite _ who has promised to use her celebrity status for good causes _ was supposed to pack her bags for the African country next month. On her itinerary: visits to schools and health-care clinics.

“I’m scared, yeah. I’ve heard it’s really dangerous,” Hilton told Newsweek magazine earlier this month. “I’ve never been on a trip like this before.”

Hilton announced the mission in September, several months after serving a 23-day jail sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

“There are a lot of bad people in L.A. Before, my life was about having fun, going to parties _ it was a fantasy,” she told Newsweek. “But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to leave a mark on the world.”

What will she do? Where will she go? How will she do good?

I’m sure she’ll come up with something. In the meantime, there are events to attend, fashion to display, fragrances to launch, millions to count. Don’t worry about Paris, she’s a surviver, she’ll manage.

There’s a new social networking site that is a little different from the rest. Its called MyWallSt.net. Like most of you, I’m a member of a lot of social networking sites. I’m a member of so many, in fact, that I spend very little time on any of them. Its mostly a way to spend time on line and I often feel like I’ve wasted time when I’ve spent time on a social networking site.

As you know, social networking websites run the entire gamete of completely inane to very serious and professional. Some are all inclusive and some are exclusionary. This new social networking site, MyWallSt.net is offering a chance to learn about the stock market, investing and following investment trends. The site uses real stocks with virtual money.

I have played around with some online virtual stock sites, but only to see if I had any ability to trade stocks. I’m not a good gambler and don’t put real money into it. This site lets you do that and is educational, productive and could actually end up making you a few bucks.

One of the advantages of this site is that as you spend time there you meet people and make friends with the common interest of investing and stock trends. Once you are registered, you can participate in trading stocks using virtual money. You can compare your stats to others who are participating. You can interact with others in real-time to discuss decisions about which stocks to buy and other financial decisions.

Also, you can do all this in real time so that the information you are getting is not dated as it would be in hard copies of publications you might receive. Therefore, learning about stocks, trading and financial issues is must faster. Don’t forget, you also have your friends on the site to discuss this with or to ask questions of if you need some clarification on something.

Sounds exciting!
