Some might say the incident occurred because Shanon was incensed over the loud volume of her housemates TV. But the mind wonders, as it often does, if there was something more sinister going on in her home. Think about it: Here's a woman who loves food, loves to eat until she can't breathe, who has now been told on national television that she needs to lose weight or else. So she returns to her Detroit home, throws all the junkfood out of the house, and for a few days she's great: Her energy's up, her appetite is down, and she thinks, if only for a moment, that she just might be able to do it. Then... the hunger hits. That deep, lonely feeling of internal emptiness that can only be satisfied with the gorging of one's mouth. Shanon is starving. She roots around in her fridge for something, anything, to take the pain away, but comes up short with some celery root and a smattering of quinoa. That just won't do. And just like the two starving guys on the desert island in Wackiki Rabbit, who each turned into a hamburger and hot dog with legs based on their mutually hungry delusions, so Shanon thought of her housemate as a gigantic Shnitzel patty just waiting to hit the frying pan. If you ask us, this wasn't a case of assault and battery... it was a case of a little salt and battering. You can't blame a woman who's hungry! Thus ending one of my many thousands of completely idiotic ideas.

Ten Things That Ought to Make the Golden Globes Worth Watching

When it comes to pomp and circumstance, there really is no competition for the Academy Awards. As hard as the SAGs and the Critics' Choice Awards try to emulate the granddaddy of all award shows, their programs generally suffer from being overly earnest. That's why we're thankful for the mysterious troublemakers who make up the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, as they long-ago decided that their show would be the Fun Bobby of the awards season. Get film and television's best and brightest dressed up, get a little booze in their systems, and then sit back and watch the drama unfold. To get you in spirit, Vulture is happy to present this list of ten things you should keep your eye out for during Sunday night's broadcast (which the Fug Girls will be live-blogging at our sister blog the Cut). Enjoy!

1. The Open Bar: Much like Bunim/Murray's genius decision to put a hot tub in every Real World house, the open bar is basically the raison d'être for the Golden Globes. Not only did it inspire Christine Lahti to nearly miss her Best Actress win at the '98 Globes, the bartenders' tendency to overserve Hollywood's secret lushes always adds an element of intrigue to the evening's proceedings. So who's most likely to get hammered this year and say/do something off-color? Our money's on serial mooner Josh Brolin.

2. The Heath Ledger Posthumous Oscar Watch: This is what most people will be watching for. Barring a last-minute surge for Tom Cruise (hilariously nominated in the same category for his Tropic Thunder cameo), Heath Ledger will definitely win for Best Supporting Actor — but who will accept for him? Christopher Nolan again? Could he be a little more tearful this time?

3. Jeremy Piven, Mercury Rising: The red carpet will probably give the recently maligned sashimi addict his first chance to publicly address his abrupt departure from Speed-the-Plow. Additionally, the Emmy winner could very well be picking up his second Golden Globe for his work on Entourage. A word of advice for Piven? Put some Kleenex in your pocket before you go onstage. You know, just in case.

4. Anne Hathaway Surprise!: Was yesterday's premature announcement that Hathaway would win the Globe for Best Actress in a Drama just a website glitch? Or a real giveaway? If she wins as planned, will she feign surprise? Will she thank Vulture for tipping her off so she could polish her acceptance speech? Will she work to prepare a speech that doesn't result in evil glares from Angelina Jolie (like at last night's Critics' Choice Awards)? Questions abound!

5. Sean Penn vs. Mickey Rourke, Round Two: Last night's Critics' Choice Awards was the first time the two had been spotted in public since Rourke allegedly bashed Penn's work in Milk by way of an unsavory text message. Penn got the first, but maybe not the last, laugh when he beat out Rourke for Best Actor. During his acceptance speech, Penn even managed to get in a minor sideswipe at Rourke when he stated, "At heart this is a beauty contest, so I had an advantage." All of which points to Sunday being an interesting night between these two old rivals, especially if Penn shows up with Lindsay Lohan on his arm.

6. Mad Men: We haven't seen Don Draper and the cast of Vulture's favorite show since the season-two finale in October. What have they been up to during the off-season? Has anyone put on a bunch of weight or grown weird facial hair? Can Christina Hendricks possibly put more cleavage on display than she did at the Emmys? Since Mad Men is up for Best TV Drama Series, we're guessing most of the cast will presumably be seated in the audience.

7. Best Supporting Actress: Believe it or not, some of Sunday's awards are actually important. Just kidding! Only this one has any real-life implications for the Oscar race. In one of the few still-undecided categories, Penélope Cruz is the current front-runner, but a win for Viola Davis, Rosemarie DeWitt, or Kate Winslet could shake things up.

8. Rumer Willis Gets Her Moment to Shine: Demi and Bruce's eldest offspring was all set to strut her stuff onstage as Miss Golden Globes (heh-heh) last year. That is, until those "mean, ugly" writers canceled Vulture hero Ben Silverman's big party. But the benevolent producers invited her back this year, providing her with the golden opportunity to gently remind bigger movie stars which way they should be exiting the stage.

9. Star Trek Chemistry Check: Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, a.k.a. Kirk and Spock, are set to make their first public appearance together since filming J.J. Abrams's Star Trek. We'll be interested to see if the duo can inject life into the typically stilted dialogue that Globes writers usually pen. Fingers crossed they tell a joke about the ineptitude of Romulans!

10. New Globes: This Sunday sees the debut of all-new, redesigned Golden Globe statues. Will the weight differential cause a winner to drop one? Will an award spontaneously burst into flames? All signs point to yes.

Watch the Golden Globes With the Fug Girls This Sunday

Gorgeous!

We missed the Golden Globes in 2008 because of the writers' strike, but they're back this year. Of course, here on the Cut we care only about the red carpet. And surely you didn't think we'd leave you with the inane commentary of Ryan Seacrest and whoever else he's working the carpet with on E! (please, God, bring Kimora back). Oh no, the Fug Girls will live-blog the red carpet right here on Sunday from 6 to 8 p.m. There's so much to look forward to: Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie, and Tom Cruise, to name a few. Maybe, just maybe, one will enjoy a red-carpet moment as lovely as Reese Witherspoon's when she wore Nina Ricci in 2007. And maybe they'll all screw up spectacularly.

BWE.TV Exclusive: Our Convo With Sarah From The Real World: Brooklyn

Editor's note: Michelle and Sara had the opportunity to sit down with each of the cast members of the new season of The Real World. Using their signature brand of tag-team tough-question journalism that comes from minutes of experience, the ladies dug deep into the psyches of the cast members. We will be bringing you interviews with each cast member over the coming days! The Real World: Brooklyn airs on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on MTV. For constant stimulation, you can also check out RealWorldDailies.com. Sarah is the tattoo-covered lady on the show who used to date girls, but is now with a boy. She's simultaneously feisty and sweet - and is the self-described "mother goose" of the house. Sarah: I'm nerrrrvous! BWE: Don’t be nervous. This is a conversation. Sarah: I know. I don’t know why I get nervous. I just do. BWE: You should be more nervous about the show going on air. Sarah: I know. Right? BWE: Cause I have heard some things. And the editing on you is not kind. [Laughter.] Tell us some good dirt. Sarah: What do you want to hear? BWE: Where are you from? Sarah: San Francisco. I love San Francisco. BWE: Are you living there now? Sarah: Yes. BWE: Any plans to move here? Sarah: No. I live with my boyfriend who I’m still with… BWE: You made it!! Sarah: I made it. BWE: Wooo! Are you worried about anything on the show coming out and your family seeing it? Cringe-worthy type stuff? Sarah: Honestly, people look at me, and they think I’m going to be wild and crazy because I have all the tattoos and the black hair but…they call me Mother Goose in the house, because I was the one who did the cooking and made sure everyone waited at the red light to cross the street. BWE: You're more like Snow White. Sarah: Yeah…with the black hair. Anyway, there’s really nothing…I didn’t hook up with anyone… I didn’t even do nasty dancin’ with anyone. I was a good girl. BWE: You're 23? Sarah: 22 BWE: How did you like moving into the house? Sarah: Oh. I was bouncing around. I worked for Gucci for a while and then I was an accounting executive for a hair care line, and also worked as a makeup artist, and all these jobs that I did because they paid the bills, but they were definitely not what I was passionate about and what I wanted to do. BWE: You’re so young to have all those jobs already. Sarah: I started very early so.. BWE: Did you go to college? Sarah: Well, I graduated high-school when I was like 15-16 and then went straight to junior college and then did a year abroad at Oxford in England. I studied overseas and came back and just wanted a little bit of a break, because I never felt like I got that time. I grew up really fast and I went, you know, straight from high school to college, and I never had a drink until I was legally able to do it. I was responsible, “gotta get my work done, gotta get the good grades, gotta move on to the next thing…blah blah blah.” BWE: Was the Real World a chance for you to branch out and do something risky that you hadn’t done before? Sarah: Yeah, that’s totally how I took it. I really wanted to be able to go out. I don’t really go to clubs or anything like that. We go to bars sometimes, but you know I wanted to be able to say that I did that. And I never lived with a bunch of people like that too. I’ve always been kinda independent and did everything on my own. And then I wanted the opportunity to live with people and learn a lot about yourself. BWE: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Sarah: I went to school to be an art therapist, and I wanted to be an advocate for victims of sexual abuse and, more specifically, children who are victims. Through art therapy I'd be helping them to express themselves. Sometimes they can’t always say things…you know the verbal skills…so if you're able to guide them and coach them... BWE: You're making me cry. I love you. Sarah: That’s what [the producers] are going to do. Montage of me crying. I cry when I'm happy. I cried when I got here. I cried when I saw my room. Cause I'm just so happy. BWE: Which room are you in? Sarah: The clean one. BWE: That’s my favorite one. Who is your best friend in the house? Sarah: I think Baya and Katelynn were definitely closest to me. Devon too. Then Scott. The girls were like thick as thieves. The girls were so close and no matter what the guys would tell us, the girls would always stick together and always look out for each other. We were like totally best friends. We had almost daily card games that we would play…all the girls. And you had spades tournaments and... BWE: Sounds like a great Real World… Sarah: Noo! It's so weird, nobody hooked up, nobody got really trashed or anything crazy. I think it’s a new Real World. BWE: Harkening back to the old Real World? Sarah: I think that’s really what it is. We all are really passionate about what we do. We are all really passionate about something whether it's something we are advocates about or whether it's our careers. We are all very driven, and I said to everybody in the house, “You know, regardless of whether or not we were going to be on the show, if we never had this experience, every single one of us would have been successful and would have been able to do what they wanted to do. This just lets us share that story with everybody else.” BWE: I'm going to cry again. [Everyone hugs.] What was it like to have cameras all around? Did you interact with them at all? Sarah: Not at all. BWE: They filmed you when you slept? Sarah: I talk in my sleep and there was this one time when I was dreaming that I was taking pictures of Obama and I literally… I remember doing it. As soon as I did it, I fell back asleep and was like oh sh*t, I think I just did that in real life. I picked up my pillow, I sat up and I pretended to take a picture, and I fell back asleep. BWE: They have cameras on the bed. s Sarah:Yeah. The first day that I woke up there were cameras in my face…and if I get nervous, I totally laugh, and I just start cracking up and was like…“This is so weird.” BWE: What were the communal showers like? Sarah: Well, I wasn’t one of the first ones to get in there cause I wanted to see…I made sure to find out how close to the glass you can stand without [anyone seeing]. BWE: Are there cameras in the shower? Sarah: No. BWE: What about in the toilet? Sarah: No. Oh god. But let me tell you, as soon as I left, going to the bathroom without anyone listening to me was the greatest feeling. BWE: [Whispering.] How do you sh*t here? Sarah: You just don’t eat Indian food, and make sure you don’t eat anything that makes you “blugh.” BWE: [Sara] I would try to be as loud as possible. I would make it a competition. Sarah: Scott was totally loud. BWE: [Sara] At the end of the day we’re human beings here. You’re a camera man and you’re waiting outside for me, and I’m in here. Who’s going to be more uncomfortable? Him. Cause I’m going to be as loud as f*cking possible. Sarah: Scott was the worst, because Scott had this fiber cereal, and I told him that he wasn’t allowed to eat it anymore, because he would stink the whole place up. BWE: If you could pick a celebrity to be your roommate on the show who would it be and why? Sarah: Geez. That’s a toughy. Somebody really funny. Oh you know who I love? Vince Vaughn, because I think he would be hilarious and he would totally do pranks with us. I think. I don’t know him in real life. BWE: Where did you go to eat around here? Did they supply food for you or did you guys have to go grocery shopping? Sarah: We had to go shopping. Fairway was really great. It's like the grocery shop of my dreams. BWE: We heard that this season you guys didn't have a group job asin past seasons. Did you guys have your own personal jobs? Sarah:I think everyone here had paying jobs except me. Devon got hired. She got a paid internship. Scott was paid for modeling. Baya worked at this liquor place. Chet works there too, and JD did a lot of events like bartending. BWE: Family guy or Simpsons? Sarah: I'm gonna go for Family Guy for its recent material, because it's more up to date. BWE: Britney or Christina? Sarah: Britney: Way more fun train wreck to watch but Christina: better success story and hot ass moma. BWE: Spit or swallow? You don’t have to answer that. Sarah: Um. Spit. Haha. How about neither because I would never do that and that actually came up in the show. We had a big discussion about that, yeah. BWE: Neither? What do you mean you would never do that? Sarah: He better give me ample warning because I’m not that kind of girl. I need like a tap on the shoulder. Whats your favorite movie? Sarah: Toy Story BWE: Favorite TV show? Sarah: Ooo. Dexter.

New fears for Jordan's health

Forcing herself into extreme marathon training, Katie Price looks worryingly thin.

Workaholic Jordan braved the freezing weather over Christmas, with older brother Daniel by her side, to go for a gruelling run.

Despite her many commitments – including being a mum to Harvey, six, Junior, three, and Princess, 18 months – Jordan’s hellbent on running the London Marathon in April.

The former glamour model looked very thin again as she hit the road in Brighton, despite earlier vowing to gain weight.

Struggling to keep up with her older sibling, the 30-year-old mother of three once again appeared to be pushing herself too far.

She's vowed, ‘I need to be running 13 miles by the New Year.’

But Ian Marber, of nutrition consultancy The Food Doctor, warns Jordan not to push herself into the challenge. ‘Over-training is as bad as undereating,’ he says.

‘To run that far, you need to have strong bones, good glucose levels and be strong overall; you’re not going to have all that if you’re as thin as she is.

'You have to eat an awful lot of calories to see you through a 26-mile marathon and, being a model, Jordan’s not used to eating that much. Even 13 miles is very extreme.’

A spokesman for Jordan was unavailable for comment.

Ronnie Wood 'buys £13k Jimi Hendrix guitar for Ekaterina Ivanova'

Rolling Stone said to have had it inscribed

Ronnie Wood has apparently splashed out on a vintage guitar played by Jimi Hendrix for his girlfriend.



The Rolling Stone, who paid a reported £13,000 for the instrument, is giving Russian waitress Ekaterina Ivanova music lessons. 



‘She fell in love with the guitar before Christmas but rather than buying it while she was with him, Ronnie wanted to wait and surprise her,’ a source tells The Sun.

‘He loves to treat her with gifts and tokens of his affection.’

Ronnie, 61, is even thought to have had his and Ekaterina’s initials inscribed on the instrument alongside a personal message. 



The veteran rocker left wife Jo, 52, in the summer.

Lindsay Lohan’s Fornarina Campaign Is Out

Finally, Lindsay Lohan's spring ads for Italian lifestyle brand Fornarina are out. We learned that Lohan landed the campaign back in May and confess that this isn't exactly what we had in mind. It's more, how should we say, going to a debauched costume party as Dorothy on the Fourth of July than we expected. Lohan looks fabulous, but the clothes just aren't her style. Say what you will about her leggings line — and we've said plenty — but we prefer her in her 6126 ads. You know, a little more vamp, a little less tart. See more photos after the jump.

Men’s Vogue Now a Vogue Barnacle

Men's Vogue is getting very crafty for its April comeuppance. The magazine, which was recently downsized from ten to two issues a year, will return as a reverse-bound issue barnacled to the April's Vogue (get it? One cover is Vogue, the other is Mogue). This way it can reach Vogue's 800,000-plus subscribers, more than doubling its 350,000 circulation as a lone monthly. And it already has 25 pages of ads! Vogue publisher Tom Florio says if this strategy is a success, Vogue Living could come back. Splendid — we have been looking for a $1,300 doormat. [WWD]
