But now the New York Post reports that he’s dating Anastasia Vitkina, a 23-year-old Russian girl attending college in New York.

MTV’s Beavis and Butt-head have picked right up where they left off 14 years ago by offering their adolescent insights on contemporary pop culture through their television viewing habits.

I have to confess that I have some big love for Big Love’s Chloë Sevigny. The model turned actress is sexy, talented, funny and was consistently amazing as the frustrated fundamentalist polygamist Nicolette Grant. Opening Ceremony has just released the second part of a video series in which Chloë discusses the ins and outs of her wardrobe and how the items within relate to her life. I think it’s a great peek in to the interesting world of one of the real envelope pushing young actresses we have today. Two highlights include the original bunny ears from Gummo and the Elvis jacket worn by Linda Manz in Dennis Hopper’s Out of the Blue.

Tonight on Real Housewives of Atlanta Kim Zolciak moves her family (including new baby KJ) into her dream house! The Roswell, GA house is listed at $3.25 million, and while the listing was recorded as being removed from being on sale May 1, 2011 on Zillow.com, it looks like the last time it sold was 2007.
So, based on that, and the fact that Kim’s frenemy tweeted that Kim was renting the house from someone named Kendra, it looks like Kim is renting her dream home! Not that that’s a bad thing! In the words of Phaedra Parks, “Everybody knows” that you can’t get all your info from the tweet of a frenemy, so we checked the Fulton County property records and found . . . .
