How long has this election been dragging on, like, 10 years or something? Tonight will (hopefully) bring an end to the race, with either a Barack Obama or John McCain victory. While we watch history being made, we encourage all of our readers to chime in throughout the evening with their thoughts on the results. We'll be popping in from time to time — Cord with coverage of the DC scene and Whitney from NYC — to keep you updated on the returns and the final result.
And, for the love of Xenu, don't kill each other. CONTINUED »
Stuck without a Halloween costume to wear tonight? Don't panic — we have seven fool-proof ideas to impress your friends and guarantee you extra candy (or at least a few concerned looks), all inspired by some of our favorite celebrities. They're not exactly scary in the traditional sense, but these costumes are frightening nonetheless. Don't say we never do anything for you.
When you're done, feel free to guess what Whitney will be dressing up as for Halloween (Cord accidentally revealed his costume already). Winner gets a free Internet hug and pride.
My newly retired mother decided to use some of her well-earned free time to belittle me. I love that woman.
PETA's new genius idea to use breast milk in Ben & Jerry's ice cream was met with a challenge by Cord: Come up with new B&J's flavors to go along with the latest ingredient. And you delivered. After the jump, the best of the best. CONTINUED »
Clay Aiken finally admitted to People magazine that he's gay, confirming what the rest of the world has known for years. "I cannot raise a child to lie or hide things," Clay says on the cover of the mag's latest issue, which features the American Idol alum with his tiny new baby.
Some of us are more excited about this development than others, as evidenced by Mollygood's editor Cord Jefferson, who jovially announced via Gchat: "clay aiken's out!!!! post IT POST IT"
Queerty has more details, complete with the glorious cover, here.

We have good news and we have bad news. First we'll start with the good: Shrewish conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck is considering leaving her chair at The View round table. The bad news: She's still going to be gracing our television sets. Says a source:
Elisabeth is just as tired of the ladies at The View as they are of her! She feels she constantly has to defend herself. Besides that, when she gets passionate about her opinions, the others make her look like she’s hysterical. But when she doesn’t talk enough, she’s accused of 'pouting.'
Naturally, the fair and balanced FOX News is offering her a position as an anchor for one of the network's shows. At least she will be around the rest of the crazies.
Update: Yes, Cord called it last week.

Know what? I hate modern American politics. Hate them. I think both Republicans and Democrats are to blame for them being divisive, ugly, cruel, misguided, dumbed-down, bigoted, unhelpful, fiscally shameful—all of it. That being said, looking at Mollygood over the past couple weeks, you might never be able to tell that I harbor those feelings. Allow me to explain.

Speaking of Fashion Week glamour, please behold the new trend for the upcoming season(s): The man skirt, or as I have dubbed it: The Mirt. Marc Jacobs has been seen sporting it more than once around the Bryant Park tents, and I have a feeling Cord is going to start wearing one of his own around Jossip headquarters. Mark my words, this is going to be huge.

There are two sides to all celebrities: The squeaky-clean images forced upon the public by PR reps and their actual personalities. To provide you with a glimpse into the real Hollywood characters are Mollygood’s very own readers, telling tales of celebrity encounters big and small. Up this week: Ilnazhad's meeting with Al Pacino, in a way only she can tell it. CONTINUED »
So, Matthew McConaughey's going to bury son Levi's placenta, huh? Great idea.
My parents buried mine under a mesquite tree in Tucson, Arizona, and I'll probably bury my child's. Not only does it make for a great story – especially the part about my grandmother almost pan frying the thing for breakfast – it's also kind of a cool, thoughtful ritual that hurts a new baby much less than, say, a briss.
And this from someone who otherwise hates everything hippies have to offer.
Our fearless editor, Cord Jefferson, underwent surgery today to donate his left kidney to his father. We will give you the latest once we hear from him (and in the meantime, you can track his experience here).
Still fuming with the stink of an iodine shower, an IV drip in my right hand making it difficult to type, I’m buzzing from a sleeping pill and thinking about what’s right to write on the eve of a whole new life.
How about this:
I am not scared, because every last little thing was worth it.
Mollygood's eternally optimistic editor, Cord Jefferson, has admitted that he "can't imagine a bigger nightmare than being on a reality TV show," which makes me want to sign him up for one behind his back. Just imagine the breakdowns, the rants, the binge drinking — it would be glorious.
So that got me thinking: If you could cast Cord on any reality show, what would it be and why?
(Yes, I created that image myself. Lay off, I'm not good with technology.)
Gawker Media overlord Nick Denton's just done a post about the amazing similarities between Liberty City — the darkened setting of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV video game — and New York City. Besides Liberty City having some digital skyscrapers which bear striking resemblance to Manhattan's gray giants, the protagonist of GTA IV, Niko Belic, gets drunk a lot and never goes to Staten Island, just like a real New Yorker. Also: I'm a very dangerous maniac in both worlds, as this photo of me by an ad for the new game proves.
Cord is likely depressed that he missed the PR machine promoting Juno (his favorite movie) today in New York City.

Long story short, I was within striking distance of Diddy last night but did absolutely nothing I always told myself I would if I ever got the chance to yell in his ear. He was hobbling around with a cane(?) and flanked by only two bodyguards, and yet I still couldn't find the gumption to tell him that I think he backstabbed Shyne and has sullied Biggie's memory. Argh! In my defense, his attendants probably had guns.
