Our Letter To Gift Clement

Dear Gift,

I am so happy that you are alive and well. When I last saw your lovely face, you looked so near death which is why I had offered to help you get the money owed to you. When I had not heard from you in so long, I just assumed that your dead husband's relatives had finally succeeded in killing you off. How did you escape? You are wily aren't you? Has anyone ever called you wily? Notice that the spelling is slightly different from Wile E. Coyote. He really wasn't that wily. You would think that at some point he would catch the damn roadrunner, but he never did.

Have you lost weight? I would love to see a new photo of you. Now that you are healthy, you should take some of that new found money and get some work done. Not to be rude, but maybe a little lipo would be a good place to start. A breast lift should be at the top of your list also. Last time I saw you, they were exchanging greetings with your knees. Are you enjoying India?

It is a crazy place huh? Did you see the girl with eight limbs? Was it you who paid for her surgery? That was really sweet. While you are there, you should watch out for the ghee. I don't know if you ever watched while you were hiding from your greedy in-laws, but Tony had a real problem with ghee and had some crazy nightmares and sweats. Anyway, I love Indian food, just make sure they don't leave the ghee out in the sun.

Oh, another thing. One of my other business acquaintances in Nigeria Africa, has promised several million dollars to be sent to me. This money I will send to you if you will only increase your cheque by $5,000 dollars. Actually, now that I have gaining increasing clarities of your generositiness, I think euros would be a better choice.

Ah, Nu Dehli. I am spanking myself soundly for my monetary failures of the past to be sure. I am now pusating with passion for our newer arraignments.

Nevermind you don't need to lose weight. I like more cushion for the pushin. I mean I could practically put my Ryan Sechrest anywhere on you and have a good time...well almost anywhere. I don't really care for cats. Speaking of cats...how come you don't have any? You seem like someone who would have a 1,000 cats and then leave all that money to the cats....or maybe you ate them..I mean times are hard a you have to do what you gotta do.

And Gift, can you tell me why you changed lawyers? Did the other one screw you over? That would be a shame since you seem like such a nice and wonderful person; so giving and pleasant and well-educated in the English language. I have a friend-of-a-friend who is a good lawyer in the United States. He does have a little extra time on his hands as he does a little blogging on the side. I trust him completely, and our finances would be secured under FDIC if we kept everything here in the states. When that 200,000 gets here we should discuss this a little bit more in detail.

Also, we will need to deal with this quickly, as I too have been stricken with the cancer. Or maybe it was the clap. In any case, my doctors tell me I have only a few weeks to live, and so I would like to use the money you promise on as many drugs and hookers as possible before I pass. Per your request, I will not contact your new lawyer, but I will be contacting your old lawyer, to see about getting this all underway without delay.

Please send ny $200,000 to my address in SUFFERNESS CITY

Oh yeah... Did I forget to mention... I'm PREGNANT!! Amazing huh? That $200, 000 will sure come in handy now!! Hope it's not born with eight limbs!! Then again Gift,we could probably whore it out for the fame... or let it grow a bit and give it a set of steak knives so that it can go after your relatives... Nasty People!! I really don't know how people could take advantage of such a sweet, frail person such as yourself... You need to toughen up bitch. The surgery should do it. Also, might I suggest, a bit (or heck... a lot) of botox in the forehead. That will really make people think twice before taking you on!! But hey... if all else fails, I know someone who might help. He is short, fat bald and he has a way with people (male?)if you know what I mean... He is soooooo good that people lose their minds or just stop hanging around.

Anyway, have fun with the money... I don't need it. It's not like I have a family to feed or uni fees to pay off... you obviously need it more... especially if you want to get laid one last time!!

What disease do you have again? My combination of alcoholism and epilepsy has gone to my head. Like I said before, I'm very sick and would like to have sexy time with as many prostitutes (male and female) as possible before I croak. Are there any good brothels in India? Perhaps I should come to visit you there and we can go out in a blaze of glory together.

Say, Gift, do you know if barristers in Cote d'ivoire wear white wigs in court like barristers in England? I imagine it would be a tad uncomfortable seeing as it's so close to the equator and November is the hottest month of the year in the Cote (don't you just love Wikipedia by the way?), but it does add a certain panache and sense of ceremony to the legal system, don't you agree? I do find it curious that seeing as Cote d'ivoire was most recently a French colony that they still call their lawyers barristers. "Avocat" seems like it would be more appropriate, given the Frogs' distaste for all things English.

Ah, well, perhaps Mr. Mustapha and I can debate that point over drinks one day. Before I forget, you mentioned Mr. Mustapha is keeping the cheque in his chamber. Gas or torture? If it's gas, then I really must insist that the cheque be sealed in a Ziploc sandwich baggie before being mailed to me. I'd hate for any chemicals that may have transferred to the cheque to set off terrorist alarms at the US Postal Service. What with all of the recent "misunderstandings" I've endured with the Department of Homeland Security, I'd prefer not to give them yet another chance to haul me in for questioning. While I'm proud to say I can hold my breath for a freakishly long period time (a skill that comes in handy more than you might think and, I'm proud to say, earned me a coveted entry in the 1978 Guinness Book of World Records), waterboarding is not my first choice for a Saturday night out with "the boys", if you know what I mean.

I read somewhere that the national bird of India is the fly, due to the swarms that surround the rotting animal carcasses that litter many streets in India. The national bird of the United States is the bald eagle, but I would much prefer it to be the fly, since they are not on the endangered species list...

How did you get into India? And how did you escape from your relatives? Your story is so fascinating to me. It reminds me of a good film I saw once but I can't remember the name. When you are as sick as us, sometimes it's hard to remember the little things, right?

I'm looking forward to meeting you one day. Perhaps our story will be made into a movie someday? Lonely, sick, frustrated man with a fashion sense to die for, meets lonely, sick woman on the other side of the world. She offers him money for helping her to invest millions of dollars. Thinking this is only a business arrangement, they never dream they will fall deeply in love so quickly.

Gift, tell me, do you want children? I hope so. Of course, I only want boys. Perhaps we could adopt 10 or so from other countries and have another 5 to 10 ourselves? I've always dreamed of having a large family. Of course, I'd expect you to work and take care of the children and the home. I'll be happy to slap them around when needed. That isn't too much to ask, is it? I would be providing you with my top quality jeans for the children. And I figure if we have enough kids, eventually we'll have a Golden Child. Don't you agree?

Love Always,

Ted

Four For Friday

At some point tomorrow I will blog a little. I am going to try and do some things in honor of World AIDS Day. My plans are to post some photos of events happening around the world, and to also share a personal story. It is not about gossip, and there is no reveal. It's just going to be a story about the first person I knew who died of AIDS, and to celebrate his memory. For those of you who don't read the blog on the weekend, I hope on Monday when you get back to work, you will scroll down, and find the story, and share in the comments any similar stories or events in your life.

#1 Do you remember the female singer who beats the crap out of her husband? Well, lately she has been spending almost $1000 a day on coke and refusing to give her husband any money. He makes money, but not our singer's kind of money. The only good thing that can be said about the coke habit is that it takes up so much of her time she has stopped kicking his ass.

#2 You know that A list actor facing the child porn grand jury. Well, it isn't just evidence gathered. Two of the witnesses brought in to testify in front of the grand jury were girlfriends from the way back machine, and one of the girlfriends is married to an A/B lister in her own right.

#3 I am happy to report that our B list actress who is always getting played by her celebutude boyfriend has been getting even. Over the past two weeks, she has been rogered roundly at least on three different nights by a certain gentleman who has been in a film, but is known for much more.

#4 The writers strike was a blessing for one B list actress on a hit network comedy/drama. Would that be a dramedy, or a coma? Anyway, she is the star of this new show. She has been in this space before due to a tiny drug problem. Tiny in comparison to Amy Winehouse, but you get the idea. Seems our actress has kind of gone off the deep end. A little private mental hospital stay for a few weeks. She went in voluntarily, but she would have been committed involuntarily if things had gone on much longer. As it is, it has been kept quiet because of the strike. If the strike ended today, the series might be shelved until next season because it is unknown when our actress is going to leave the facility.

Random Photos Part One --Rain Rain Go Away Edition

I have determined by my own independent data and polling, and therefore must be completely accurate, that Jaimie Alexander changes her photo more often than any other person in the history of MySpace. If a day goes by where she doesn't change her picture, Tom personally gives her a call and asks if she is ill.
Speaking of ill. Where have you been Haylie Duff? Besides getting the new boob job and all.
Justin Chambers is a good looking guy. The guy standing next to him looks kind of rough.
Soccer's version of an almost upskirt.
Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne carpooling to the skank of the year award show.
LL Cool J is cool. Enough said.
Last I heard it had been almost 24 hours since Katherine Heigl picked up a cigarette. She has gone through 18 packs of Nicorette though.
Jordin Sparks is still smiling even though she had to fly coach, got her ass kicked by a Christmas album. You want more? Lowest sales ever for an American Idol winner, and she is likely to get dropped by the label after this one album which would also be a first.
Jeremy Renner is a great guy and a great actor.
Need to take care of friends here and Joey Kern is definitely a friend of the blog.

Elizabeth Berkley Gets A Job--And Keeps Her Clothes On


Someone actually hired Elizabeth Berkley, and she gets to keep her clothes on. I'm confused by the title of the show she is hosting though. It is a show on Bravo called Step It Up And Dance. It used to be called Step It Up, but test audiences thought it was a work out show, so Bravo changed it for that reason, and because they want people to think it is exactly like Dancing With The Stars, which it is, but which they will deny. It is a reality show with contestants trying to master a series of dances. Tony winning choreographer Jerry Mitchell will mentor the contestants except for the pole dancing episode in which Elizabeth will take the lead. The winner gets a cash prize, but can exchange it for a lap dance from Elizabeth.

Tom Cruise Dates A Guy With A Wig



It's been quite a long time since we have seen the Katie Holmes slouch and duck walk. In the photo above, she appears to be at least a foot taller than Tom. Of course that might not be Katie at all. To me, it kind of looks like a guy dressed in drag, who then threw on a wig. Whether it be male or female, Tom looks like he is about 12 standing next to them. Is this his new way of looking younger? Does he go to Katie (Kate) and say, "you still look to feminine. Go get your hair cut to look like that bitch from Vogue, tape down your breasts, and maybe, just maybe this relationship will work."

In other Little General news, Suri Cruise is having a pair of Louboutins custom made for her. Christian Louboutin himself came and took a mold of Suri's feet so he could make the custom booties. Of course, by the time the mold is sent off to China to be made, coated in lead paint, and finally shipped to the Cruise family, the kid will have grown another 2 inches like every other damn kid in the world, and the shoes will be just a nice talking point. Is there a point to actually getting the shoes made? Is it to show that Tom Cruise can get one of the most popular shoe designers to come to his house and take a mold? Is it to have a daughter who is so damn spoiled that her baby booties have a big red bottom? Is the Cruise family short of money so they are going to start having Suri shill for them because you sure as hell know there won't be any Tom and Katie sex video. "Now, where does it go?" "Maybe we should shower again first."

Johnny Depp Sings In Sweeney Todd

I know most of you have probably seen this by now, but for those of you haven't, here is Johnny Depp singing in Sweeney Todd.



Ted C. Blind Item

Pricey Dicey is a mucho gifted performer, everyone agrees on that. The Emmys adore him and occasionally show that fact, come fall. TV fans just go on about the sorta-cutie dude every time they blog, cheer ‘n’ gab about him, which is often. This helps P.D.’s latest boob-tube project, which is a bit o’ a gamble for the network currently employing Dicey’s always amusing talents.

Are these check-doling TV suits aware Pricey likes the boys, not the girls? Of course they are. People aren’t dumb in this town, they’re just stupid, know what I mean? Like, come on, these network ninnies actually expect Pricey to be discreet and keep his peter-on-peter ways in private? If they only knew. ‘Cause here’s what P.D. lives to partake in from time to time, whenever he gets the he-man hankering:

He gets his horned-up snake on a plane, flies it to a medium-size midwestern town, checks into a nondescript old hotel near a truck stop, which is next to a stripper joint, which is next to a dirty-movie arcade—see where we’re goin’ here? Yep, you guessed it: The “straight” truckers hit the girlie joint, get all worked up, and then stop on over to the arcade to utilize one of the many glory holes, behind one of which Pricey always parks himself. After all, it’s always anonymous, right?

Wrong. See, some of those holes are—like Hollywood egos—bigger than others. And while Mr. Dicey was doin’ the deed one time recently, the recipient stuck his eyeball right at the cutout opening and grunted, “Hey, aren’t you on TV?”

“Oh, no,” blurted P.D., before promptly going back to work and finishing off the job—an impending orgasm is such a reliable tool for getting a guy’s mind off what you’d prefer him not to be thinking about, don’t you agree?

Pricey hasn’t been back to his salacious stomping ground since. But we’re sure that’s merely a temporary situation, much like Lindsay Lohan’s nascent sainthood.

Today's Blind Items

#1 This celebudude hasn't been getting a large enough allowance from his B list film actress girlfriend to be able to afford his cheating lifestyle. So, in the last few weeks he has started selling little stories about her friends to the tabloids. The money has been so good, that it is only a matter of time before he starts selling stories about her.

#2 New hit comedy show on network television. One of the male stars of the show was surprised when his ex and daughter showed up unannounced at our actor's home, and he was enjoying some time with one of the very young female actresses on the same show. Seems that he had been telling the ex he was completely single and didn't want to do anything but be a great dad.

Random Photos Part One

The lovely Ali Larter is back on top. Lance Armstrong thought she was lovely as well. Of course that could be because he was trying to pretend he didn't know someone else, but you will have to scroll lower to see that.
Amanda Brooks makes her first appearance on the blog, but certainly not for any reason. She is one of the very best people I know and I should have put her on her long ago.
Do you think there will be tongue?
I don't know who what or how Sam Lufti got back into Britney Spears' life, but it is the very best thing that could have happened. The very best thing.
Good to see that Mickey Rourke isn't going to let a little thing like an alleged DUI keep him from drinking. The 100 year old man on the left is Benicio del Toro.
Is Alicia Keys even the same person as three years ago? I love the new look, but don't want her to go too morning show host on us.
Ashley Olsen out and about in NYC last night.
And look who was right there with her. Mr Shit Eating grin Lance Armstrong himself. Maybe if you don't want the rumors buzzing, you shouldn't hang out together every night. No matter how much you may have tried to pretend to be hitting on Ali last night, it was just not working. Just go public with the relationship. Better than sneaking around like you are ashamed to be with someone young enough to be your daughter.
Josh Hartnett doing the disguise thing at LAX.

Another great guy is John Cusack. I know many of you are big fans of him and his puffy fingers.

Play Dates Are A Great Reason To Have Kids


The woman who goes through dogs even faster than her boyfriends wants a baby for the sole reason that she wants her baby to have play dates with Nicole Richie's child. Paris Hilton has said this week that she wants to have kids within two years which means she needs to get knocked up in the next year, which means she needs to find a guy that is drunk enough to go in uncovered into a territory where triple protection is no guarantee of safety.

What if she doesn't get pregnant the first time? Will the guy want to go back in for more? Will he have already been dumped and a new guy found? I know Paris is always full of publicity stunts and attention grabbing headlines, but I honestly think she means it. She has always idealized her childhood friendship with Nicole and I think she really does see that happening with their spawn.
This one time I think she is serious, and I am actually afraid for the child and for the guy who is the father. The relationship with the dad will not last. That is a guarantee. She should know that she won't be able to stay with the dad which means that she will be a single mom who will be bringing home new "uncles" each week if not more often.

The only time Paris will spend with her baby is when she wants some publicity. The only thing Paris has going for her is money, which she can use to hire a team of professional nannies who can try and raise the child to be somewhat normal. What Paris should do is encourage the responsible sister Nicky to have a child, or just spend a week taking care of Nicole's baby and realize she isn't going to be any good at it.

Michael Lohan Is Full Of Crap



Nothing actually surprising about that headline is there. I think he wakes up in the morning and thinks to himself, "I haven't been mentioned anywhere in the media for a day or two. I need to come up with some crap, so I can see my face on the tv and get laid."

Today the crap that Michael Lohan is shoveling is that Lindsay Lohan and 50 Cent will be working on her new album together. Actually, let me correct that right now because no doubt Michael is a litigious little man. He actually was quoted as saying, "They're talking about working together. Nothing's firm yet, but they're in talks."

This is what classifies as a talk:

Lindsay: Hi Fiddy, I'm working on a new album
50 Cent: Cool

That is my guess as to how far these discussions have gone. Why on earth would 50 Cent even bother to work with Lindsay? To be ridiculed? To be mentioned in the same breath as a really horrible album. "Despite the efforts of producers and contributors like 50 Cent, the new Lindsay Lohan album is mired at the bottom of the charts."

Michael went on to say that Lindsay and 50 Cent have known each other for awhile. "They've actually known each other for a while, just from being in the business together and crossing paths at events."

The only photos WireImage has of them together was in June 3, 2004 where 50 looks like he wants some, and Lindsay isn't giving. If she had, then Michael could say that 50 was like family.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which premiership footballer slept with the mother of the girl who rejected him? The mum felt blue and branded him rubbish in bed.

Morton Book A Dud Or Scientology Stunt?


Sources have been telling the Daily Mail that Andrew Morton's new book about Tom Cruise is so dull that it is not even being released in the UK. The source said, that despite two years of research, there is nothing in the book that is shocking or new, and that Andrew Morton was unable to find anything interesting to write about Tom that hasn't been written before.

I think the story is total crap for two reasons. First, if the book is interesting enough to be released in the US, why not the UK? Second, it is about Tom Cruise. Anyone with a slight interest is a potential customer whether boring or not. I expect the book to be released in every English speaking country. It will be a huge seller whether it is crap, boring, or only a rehash of old gossip. To say that it won't be released in the UK, when it is written by a UK writer and being published by a UK house, is an utter bunch of crap.

Meanwhile though, the newspaper has now published an article laying the groundwork for a few less sales, or water cooler talk that begins with "well, there isn't anything new in there."

The World Of WD - Walking The Line

Wow. So there was a near miss on my identity I hear. One of the things that was taken for granted was one of Ent's clues about my credits. I have produced and done stunt work but under different names. I like to keep my different worlds separated by different names. Much easier for me to keep track of, much more difficult for people trying to keep track of me.

I have a lot of balls in the air and I love it. But it sometime makes it hard to keep track of people. So when I'm out and about and someone greats "Hey ___" I know exactly how I know them based on what they call me. My close friends tease me about being crazy and I let them because they are the ones who have to try to keep track of them all. When you do stunt work, you don't want to only be known for that, so you will often find stunt people/actors using one name for stunt work, and a different name for acting.

What have you guys heard or know about the WGA strike? The last time the Writers Guild went on strike it lasted for 22 weeks and was about getting residuals for this new technology called DVD's. The writers had to cave more than they wanted.

This time around it's about DVD residuals, Internet residuals and health and pension. The Writers, in the interest of compromise have already taken their demands for DVD residuals off the table. The studios have not given anything.

Let's look at this with some perspective. The Writers were asking for 8 cents per DVD. 8 cents. That's nothing. On a $20 DVD that's nothing. You can't even get 1 script page copied at Kinko's for that. And yet Disney paid, Michael Ovitz, their President of 14 months a severance package of more than $262 million dollars. How does that make any kind of sense? Won't pay the thousands of writers that create the projects that make them money $0.08 per DVD but will pay ONE MAN almost $300,000,000.00 to NOT WORK. The studios need to step back and really look at themselves.

How does this affect you? TV will suck for the next couple of months. And if this isn't resolved in the next couple of weeks, there will be no original scripted programming for a really long time. There will be however plenty of re-runs and reality TV. In fact, the first strike is when COPS was born. The first reality show. I'm not sure what else they can come up with at this point to raise the bar on reality, I think we are just a season away from THE RUNNING MAN.

I recommend turning to the internet. This is the last free place for indie film makers and creators free of the studios. There is a lot of crap to wade through, but the good stuff is worth it. Even the new shows, and new episodes you are waiting to see after Christmas are going to be a little sketchy because they filmed them without the writers there. So they weren't allowed to rewrite anything or change ANYTHING in the scripts. If something didn't make sense, or was stupid, it had to stay. See how many examples of this you can see as you watch the shows.

There's a picture I took below at the huge rally in Hollywood. The feeling of solidarity was incredible. There are some people on the pickets lines that made me smile. While at WB, Zach Levi from CHUCK would come out on his breaks and walk. And he would still be in his Nerd Herd costume. He is a nice guy. The most exciting time for me was meeting the man who wrote the screenplay for The 300. He was great. Gave me a signed poster of Queen Gorgo.

You turning off your TV and turning to other forms of entertainment would be the best way to support the struggle. Because, if the writers do well, then when the directors and actors strike (and that's coming soon) it'll be over quicker with less bloodshed. They are in discussions right now. So let’s hope everyone is happy.

To your comments now--I absolutely agree that when I see an actor I know in a movie, especially one that is in all the tabloids, you can't get it out of your head. Even if they are doing a good job, you still think, "Wow Justin Timberlake is actually doing a really great job." You don’t think "Wow, I'm really getting into this story." New, fresh, different blood. That's what we need. If only everyone were are brave as you.

DNFromMN--Movie Review--Atonement


ATONEMENT

Opens December 7, 2007

“It’s a story about what a young girl sees from her bedroom window, or thinks she sees.” It’s a line from the film, and it’s the perfect description for the driving action of it.

A precocious tween writer sees her sister argue with the family’s gardener in 1938 England. Later, something happens at the family estate, which the tween witnessed… or did she? She says it was the gardener and he’s sent off to war. Was she honest or did she lie, and what would her motivation be for telling the truth or not?

Spoiling a movie is something I would hate to do, but I’m pretty sure that I’m not giving anything away from the first 20 minutes. But here’s the thing, the movie is 2 hours long, and I thought it ended rather abruptly. I lost all sense of time during the movie, as it drew me in completely (it may not, a cynical friend who came with said it dragged in places).

This film is lush and beautiful, praise be to the location scouts.Director Joe Wright previously did the other Keira Knightly starrer, Pride and Prejudice (which KK got her, IMO, undeserved Oscar nod). And this movie is so much better than that Jane Austen-er, which I liked,but didn’t love. There are so many subtle touches to Atonement that I just want you to experience them and appreciate them, but don’t wait to expect them (I’d hate to ruin it). The beach scene is so chaotic but controlled; the editing of he-said/she-said scenes; and the ending, dear God, that full on head-shot monologue was perfect.

The acting is of course top notch. I’ve always thought Keira Knightly was unusually beautiful, but not particularly talented. She nailed all but one scene in this. James McAvoy really is charming and perfect in this role, and will inspire much lust for those who like their men sensitive but playful. And the young girl, Saorise Ronan, gives you those moments you got when you saw Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense; those goosebumps of how natural acting can come and not be forced or mugging for the camera. I only hope that Saorise can over come her name and the baggage that comes with being a child actor (and hopefully we won’t see her busted for a pot DUI in 5 years).

So what’s it worth? $15.00. It’s worth full price and a box of Goobers. This movie doesn't need a blogger to promote it, all the real reviewers will be raving. I just hope that I can convince a slightly different audience to see it.

Julianne Hough Has Lots Of Friends Who Buy Her Things


Helio Castroneves got placed into the friend column by dancing partner Julianne Hough, but it still was enough to end his relationship with Aliette Vazquez. The relationship between Helio and Aliette actually ended almost immediately after Helio began rehearsing with his Dancing With The Stars partner. Helio had a huge crush on Julianne almost from the outset, and thinking it was going to be something real, told Aliette they should wait awhile to get married.

Aliette, not being stupid, deduced the real reasons and called off the marriage. However, out of respect, she volunteered to pretend that everything was normal until after the conclusion of the show because she didn't want Helio's chances of winning affected by him being a love sick jerk thinking he was going to score with a 19 year old.

Rumors are swirling that Helio lavished the young dancer with gift after gift, but he could just never get out of the friends column with her, and so far that is where he remains. Julianne has lots of friends. Kevin Connolly of Entourage also is in the friends column. He and Julianne are such good friends that he bought her a several thousand dollar 18K engagement ring last week which she wore on the last show.

Who knew that being friends with so many guys could be so profitable and lead to broken relationships. If the guys knew any better they would know that she will end up with a guy who doesn't buy her a damn thing, and in fact makes her pay for everything when they go out. He may or may not have a job, and will cheat on her often. Don't buy a woman any gifts before she is your girlfriend thinking that gifts will make her your girlfriend.

Donna D'Errico Has Plenty Of Money


Last time there was a court hearing between Donna D'Errico and Nikki Sixx, Donna didn't even bother showing up. Yesterday, she showed up, but told the judge, "no thanks" to any money from her ex. The judge questioned Donna several times to make sure that she was waiving any financial support from Nikki.

Donna said she didn't need the money and that she just wanted everything to be over. According to Nikki's testimony at an earlier hearing, Donna has been making money as a hooker. I guess former Baywatch and Playboy babes can charge more than the women on the street. If you want a night with Donna, I'm guessing it is in the $10,000-15,000 range, but she throws in a free t-shirt so it's all good.

After the hearing, Donna told TMZ that she was in the process of writing an autobiography. Most of you might think it is going to be some tell all about Nikki. I think there will be a certain portion devoted to it, but I also think the majority is going to be about how Donna got work in Hollywood and what she was forced to do, and by whom. Nikki is a rock star. People will just say it is part of the game for any asshole behavior on his part. The rest of the book is what should be incredible.

Today's Blind Items--Kindness

I had been saving this one to combine it with a jackass, but I just feel like I need a kindness today. Writing this kindness is hard for me, because of my overall negative feelings for the person involved, which should give you a big clue. She is a B list actress, hit television show, and been in some really bad movies. And no, it isn't Denise Richards. You can be sure I will never write a kindness about her, even if she saves the life of a school bus full of nuns. Anyway, this actress is a publicity hungry piranha, except when it comes to one thing. For the past few years, this actress quietly sneaks off to some after school programs to help disadvantage children with their schoolwork, to mentor them, and just to make them laugh and smile. She has a circle of schools and programs she attends, and makes an effort to go to at least one a week, and if she skips a week, makes it up with two visits the following week.

She does this because she feels it is important, and not for any publicity or attention. The kids love when she goes. They all loved her before she got famous and love her the same now. Since here recent success, she has donated money to many of these programs and to scholarships to enable these children to continue on to college. Because it is the holiday season, I have decided to give the evil one her due, and to applaud her for her selflessness this one time.

Random Photos Part One -- Gotham Awards Edition

If Joan Collins was my grandmother, I would be smiling from ear to ear also.
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem pretend they have never seen each other despite the fact they just ate a meal together.
If it is nighttime and New York, you have to wear black. Maggie Gyllenhaal has got kind of a Sally Field thing going on here, but without the aww shucks attitude. Maggie also looks like she weighs 50 pounds.
Laura Linney was one of the few who broke out of the funeral mood at The Gotham Awards and therefore stands out and gets noticed. I remember when everyone said she was going to be the next Meryl Streep and just win award after award. She is a great actress, but until recently was kind of a pain to work with which probably had something to do with her B list career despite A list talent.
Keri Russell looks like she hasn't eaten in a month. Come on people. It's winter, eat some food.
Whenever you are feeling down, just download a photo of Joe Pantoliano. He always cracks me up. An ass, but he always cracks me up.
Uma Thurman looks incredible.
How about some Timothy Olyphant for you? I can probably find more if you like him.
Tea Leoni out supporting one of my favorite charities.
It is so nice to see the cranky old man Roger Ebert back out and about. Since he is doing so much better, can I go ahead and say that I watched Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls over the weekend and it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Everyone has always told me it is good in a campy kind of way. It's campy, but I couldn't stand it.
I don't understand why Patrick Dempsey just can't get throw on some shorts and a shirt and ride. Is he that desperate to get noticed as a bike rider? I know he thinks he looks cool, but he doesn't.
