Surrounded by beauty queens at the Miss USA Pageant on Friday, Gossip Girls' Chace Crawford only had eyes for one woman: Miss Missouri.

was kind of confused when I read The Daily Mail’s story that claims that much-hated divorcee Heather Mills was booed when she was introduced as a judge at the Miss USA Pageant. I watched virtually the whole thing and there was no booing of Heather that I could hear, and if there was I would have jumped all over that. The Mail reports that “But the night went from bad to worse for the 39-year-old, was later booed and jeered as she was introduced on the judging panel.” They also point out her “wonky cleavage,” and that observation is spot on, but there was no booing.

I watched most of the Miss USA Pageant and it looked like it went off without a hitch. Donnie and Marie Osmond hosted, and the show was modern and entertaining enough to add some moderate interest to the outdated beauty pageant fare. Controversial divorcee Heather Mills, fierce Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, and celebrity hairstylist Ken Paves were among the judges.

More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun."
