Full Frontal Friday

Ahh yes, it is that time again. That time where all celebrity men somehow find a way to show off their peens to you, their fans. Musicians again, because hey, they seem to like to be naked more than actors. Yes, there is James Hetfield, but from many years ago. In addition, I need to warn you there is a very disturbing photo of Marilyn Manson. No, not because of the size of his peen, but the photo is a bit gory. Huh. Who would have thought Marilyn Manson capable of gory? Anyway, click here for the nudity.

Four For Friday - And An Update From AP

So after AP saw the post yesterday in the blind items, she called me and wanted me to let all of you know that she has tried to call the girl everyday since it happened. Although she has left lots of messages, and sent numerous texts, she has only had one text back and it just said basically that everything was fine, and she had been having a bad day. Uh huh. AP promises to keep bugging her everyday. She, as you know is persistent about things, so I have no doubts she will stay on this.

#1 - To show that not all men behave badly, I thought I would share this little kindness about a B- list comic film actor with a franchise which you would think would make him A list under the rules, but, then you would all laugh. So, anyway, our actor when he goes to dinner parties at restaurants or even at the houses of friends, has all the doggie bags given to him, and passes them all out to homeless people he sees on the way home. In addition to that, he will also raid the dinner parties for extra food and bring it to homeless shelters to serve.

#2 & 3 - This national political candidate and current politician isn't shy about using his new power to get what he wants, and what he wants are some actresses to be his special contributor. Whenever he speaks at a fundraiser, he takes the opportunity to hit on as many actresses as he can. So far, only one has taken him up on his offer. After a recent cocktail event, he left, and she followed about an hour later. Who is she? Wow. C+ list films, but with some A list name recognition due to her body. Not the sharpest tool in the shed because she really is doing it because she thinks it is a good way to support the candidate.

#4 - This closet lesbian B+ list lead actress on a hit network drama almost let the cat out of the bag so to speak. She had a little too much to drink and was finding the woman she was talking to attractive. She thought the other woman also played for the same team and so started flirting fairly aggressively. The woman however was straight, and also was rather loud about her shock in discovering our actress was a lesbian to the point where people noticed.

Random Photos Part One

Lauren Hutton on a runway again, definitely gets the top spot.
I really thought about giving the top spot to Anna Paquin, just because I like her a lot, she doesn't take crap from anyone, and just stays the same person she has always been without any of that celebrity hype.
I don't think I have ever had a photo of Brian DePalma in the photos, and really I should be ashamed. A great director.
I weight a bunch, but I swear if I worked in a restaurant I would even weigh more. How the hell can you be a chef and just not eat like a pig and get fat. Don't know how Bobby Flay does it.
Denise Richards finally reveals herself to us.

Doris Roberts cracks me the hell up.
Candice Bergen. Been a long time. Looks very nice.
At any time, I just expect Christina Aguilera to change her name to Coco and go shack up with Ice-T.
Becki Newton and Lindsay Lohan on the set of Ugly Betty.
So, you have Gerard Butler and two very determined volunteers who are keeping the crowd at bay. You would think they would be leading the charge, but honestly they don't look like they give a damn that it is Gerard Butler.

Kind of looks like he is wearing a skirt or a cape. Guess it depends on how you look at it.
I know, I know. I'm making Eva Mendes share space with Debi Mazar, but I like the photo, so I'm willing to sacrifice.
Ed Harris who I know many of you love.
Instead of just saying Duffy, I always want to say something cute, like it's The Duffy, or Duffy take off your clothes. Too much? Well look at the dude in the green shirt behind her. Tell me he doesn't have the potential to be knocking on her door late one night.
JoJo & Lloyd - Los Angeles

Jeremy Irons. I haven't looked at your sexiest list, but I bet ten years ago, you would have put him down.
So, if you live in LA or have visited, then you will have a very good idea as to why this is really disgusting. It would not shock me in the slightest to know that some man peed on that star shortly before this, or that he did so again after everyone left.
Between them, I think Hanson now have 23 kids.
I love this photo of Gwen Stefani because it has been two weeks since she gave birth, and remarkably, she is not back down to a size zero yet. Wow. A normal human being.

Mario - Los Angeles

I wasn't going to post this photo of Lydia Hearst, but she looks so awful, I just couldn't let it go.
Kirsten Dunst is looking normal again which means she is back on the wagon.
Jeremy Piven takes on the role of Madonna and demonstrates what Guy's sex life is like.
Kind of a cross between Madeline, a Guardian Angel, and the guy who rings the bell at Christmas outside stores.
Ne-Yo - New York

I miss having Meg Ryan to see and talk about, so hopefully this film will give her a little boost. I mean, I'm not going to see it, and can't imagine many guys will, but still, would be nice for her to make a little comeback. She and Tom Hanks could make movie #4.
Another person I miss seeing is Mary Louise Parker, and she looks great.
Not looking so great, and looking like a grandmother overnight is Mel-B.
Michael Buble - New York
Will you look at the heels on Renee Zellweger.

Seriously. It is like walking on toes.
Peaches is back in the US with no ring and no husband in sight. But, they are still married. I think we should start talking anniversary presents.
First time I have seen Noa Tishby since she got married. Is she pregnant?
New Kids On The Block - New York
No, that's not Jada. It's actually Harry Smith. No, not the guy who used to co-host The Morning Show on CBS with Paula Zahn. This is Will's brother.

Well, well, it is Warren Beatty. Actually came out to support the wife. Lately he has been making her go alone.
I'm sure lots of you have picked Viggo Mortensen in the sexiest poll.
Tara Reid and "guest." More like highest bidder.
T.I. demonstrates how one gets around the whole house arrest thing.

Your Turn

One of the things that seems to be up for debate around the blog almost constantly, and with the comments, is who in fact is your favorite actor and actress when it comes to hotness. It is either post photos of this person, or don't post photos of that person. So, instead of here or there in the random photos, I think we need to settle this debate once and for all. Who is the actor or actress you would most like to spend some time getting to know on, how should I say, a more intimate basis. Once and for all we will find a winner on who is the most likely to be groped by a CDAN reader.

Ted C Blind Item #2

Isn't it interesting Lloyd Boy-Toyed is undertaking his latest media campaign to fight off rumors about everything under the tabloid sun—every topic save the one he wants to get out: that he sometimes likes young dudes in bed. Not Michael Jackson-style, mind you, but he sometimes likes 'em young. And to keep quiet. And you know what that means, doncha girlfriends? Occasionally Mr. Boy-Toyed's gotta give 'em the green. What a cold, hard, cashed-out town this can be, huh?

Let's see, Lloyd's busy mouthing off about his nasty battles with most everybody in the Biz, not to mention his more cherished (and known) companions and relatives. He appears to be a total crank-a-thon, really, but don't believe it for a sec. Oh, some of it's real, that's fer sure, but it's mostly for show, I assure you.

I have firsthand knowledge of Lloyd's more cunning agendas—not to mention the ones he prefers to get underway under the covers. Don't ask me how. I can't tell! I'm a married man now! I would never embark on something as nasty as tattling 'tween the sheets when I've got a superhoney at home. Quite the opposite of how Lloyd goes about things, trust.

Really, though, as sloppy as Lloyd's getting in the attempting-to-score department, he's gonna be out long before our beloved Toothy Tile, I assure you. Oh, and Lloyd-baby, I don't care, really. But, your blind-as-merde fans sure will. I say screw it, already! (Like you have so many guys.)

Mistake, Luck, Or Strategy?

I stay away from politics on this site because honestly I love all of you and I think every politician is full of crap anyway. The only politicians that generally matter in our day to day lives are the local politicians. They are the ones who are responsible for sales tax, state income tax, water rates, electric rates, phone rates, roads, garbage, schools, property taxes, parking rates, cable, and yet they are the ones we are completely apathetic towards when it comes to voting instead of just our normal partially apathetic selves in national elections.

So, with that being said I just wanted to talk for a second about Sarah Palin. I have no opinion on her at all. This is simply about the media being manipulated and looking stupid.

Lets go back a week. Barack Obama had just given a speech in a football stadium that was packed and rumor had it that McCain was going to trot out some random white guy no one had ever heard of to be his running mate. So, then you would have had Obama/Boring White Guy on one ticket and Boring White Guy/Boring White Guy on the other ticket.

Now, lets go back to when Sarah Palin was announced. Notice she was announced with about 24 hours before weekly magazine deadlines. Then notice how all these stories about her came out so fast and furiously. Everyone was saying McCain and his people were idiots for not checking this stuff out and it was a horrible mistake on their part.

Does anyone honestly believe that? Does anyone believe in this time of background checks and such that none of this was noticed and that he just drew a name out of a hat? Please.

The negative press was so bad on her for the first 24 hours that people thought she would pull out. In those 24 hours all the tabloids went to press and all plastered her all over the covers of almost every magazine. Do you think boring white guy as a VP candidate gets that? Umm, no.

So, in about 48 hours you went from Obama this and Obama that to every single person in the entire world talking about Sarah Palin. She is on covers of tabloids, people talk about her constantly, and the whole world tunes in to watch her speech. Think they would have turned on boring white guy? Nope.

Think about all those comments that were made about the mistake made by McCain last week. Maybe it was a mistake and they got lucky, or maybe it was a strategy. I do know that to me it seems though as if the media got played. They were all jumping all over stories that said how investigations were done wrong and that no one knew any of this stuff. Please. The stories about the pregnancy, the DWI, and everything else came out in 5 minutes. It just had never been done before. Pick someone who has so much baggage and controversy that it just dominates the airwaves every second of everyday, while the nominee from the other party who should be basking in a post convention glow can't even get a mention anywhere in the news.

Anyway, just something that has been on my mind, and would love to know what you think. Maybe I am just reading it all wrong.

An Arrest

Back at the end of July I posted an item about a very popular singer from Lebanon named Suzanne Tamim who had been brutally murdered in her Dubai apartment. Well in the past few days the case has finally started to come together, and it is incredibly shocking.

One of the world's richest men has been arrested and charged with paying a hit man $2M to follow Tamim and then kill her. The man who was arrested for hiring the hit man is the equivalent of say, a US Senator here in America and was considered for a cabinet post in Egypt. Allegedly the man hired a policeman to be his hit man, and the police man followed Tamim from London to Dubai, bought a knife in Dubai and then stabbed her, and decapitated her in her apartment.

The policeman who allegedly served as a hit man was actually arrested about two days after the killing, but the information he provided was so spectacular that it took this long to check out everything he said.

I suppose when you are a billionaire many times over, $2M is nothing to pay for a hit, but maybe the married father of three should have been more concerned with his family and taking care of them, and not getting revenge on some poor woman who didn't want to have an affair with him anymore.

It's A Grope Off - The Two Michaels Ready To Do Battle

Michael Buble gave a quick little interview to the NY Daily News a couple of days ago and was asked by them about dating Heather Fogarty. He basically said they went on one date and that was it for him. Didn't want anything more to do with her. Uh huh. Nice guy.

"I'm single - and ready to mingle."

Apparently he might be single, but even when he was dating Emily Blunt for three years he was ready to mingle. The only reason the relationship ended was because he got caught in public and so she was humiliated. You don't think he had been caught before? Please. This is Michael "Hands" Buble we are talking about here. Although, I have to admit that the Groper King may be losing his title if these photos from Radar showing Michael Phelps are any indication of how Michael gets his groove on. Apparently the guy from Radar said that Michael's grip is amazing and that he gets himself a full grope of the ass when he does this. It is not just a touch, or a caress, he is going for the full on squeeze like a guy who never got any until he became famous. I mean, to go for the turn around, stretching over the couch grope is just not even having a care in the world that you are going to get rejected. It is one thing to be next to a woman, but to have to lean, to make yourself uncomfortable to grab hold of a butt, that is just saying you haven't got much action in your life. Most people shake hands or kiss on the cheeks when they meet, Michael says, "I'm Michael Phelps the Olympian," and then grabs your ass and squeezes.

Well, I'm sure the women in the Playboy Club just love being groped and manhandled by guys all night. I'm surprised there aren't any photos of Michael getting kicked in the balls because you know they wanted to

Here Comes The Huvane Machine

I have nothing against Stephen Huvane. I think he is a great publicist, and definitely has some of the highest profile clients, but I just get tired of the games he continuously plays with his single clients. It is bad enough that he seems to take it upon himself to make sure that Jennifer Aniston is linked with any straight guy with a pulse that comes within 50 feet of her, but now he is trying to play the same game with Anne Hathaway. Next week he will move on to doing the same for Liv Tyler. I think the only reason he hasn't is because he doesn't know how to play the game when a woman actually has a child. It is why he doesn't do it with Uma.

I think it is probably Huvane's wet dream to have Anne and Jennifer sharing all of the tabloid covers each with their own "new man" and "new love" story. Apparently we are all now supposed to believe that Anne Hathaway has fallen in love with Josh Lucas. Oh yes. Oh, before I forget, you have to read the Vanity Fair article on Anne and Raffaello Follieri, it is incredible. Long, detailed and incredible. You read that article, and you tell me that Life & Style didn't just print exactly what Huvane told them to about Anne and Josh.

"They definitely looked like a couple. They were really into each other, giggling and smiling and even holding hands at one point.

"You could almost taste their chemistry! She looked beautiful and happy."

Wow, who the f**k knew that Josh Lucas giggles. I bet he would be happy to know that he sits around giggling. Please. This story is so full of crap, and honestly, I think Huvane should stop playing this game because I think it is going to backfire on him. He is going to keep setting Anne up on all of these dates, and then Raffaello is going to get out of jail, and get back together with Anne again and Huvane is going to look foolish.

After reading all of the charges against Follieri, I'm not sure why the feds are even interested in him. Oh sure, he is a slime ball, and a con man, but everyone who could have filed charges against him has actually been paid back. I think he just managed to draw so much attention to himself because of that $200,000.00 bad check that he went down.

So, for now I think Stephen should concentrate on getting Gwyneth to eat some food, getting Uma married as quickly as possible before her boyfriend bolts and making sure his brother Kevin Huvane hangs onto his job at CAA as managing partner or else celebrities may want to find some other publicist with connections, and then instead of Jennifer Aniston he will be working with Jennifer, the 34th runner up on American Idol from 2005. Oh, you probably didn't know that Kevin Huvane is Jennifer Aniston's agent, and he just happened to recommend his brother Stephen to be her publicist.

Ted C Blind Item

Call it One Matronly Messing Around Blind Vice. Shirley Surly's a very famous half to a highly visible couple these days. Both spouses are good looking. Both married types act like they're friggin' single, and they've done this for years.

Not saying they've had orgies after the PTA meetings every other Tuesday, just that these two ain't exactly a Tom-and-Rita-type duo, not at all. And even though Shirley and her man are currently doing their damnedest to patch things up, we're told it's just because they want to look more together in their fancy neighborhood (what a friggin' lame reason, obviously this latest effort at a unified domestic front is so not going to work).

Shirley's bitchy friends—who just adore the Awful Truth, thank get-even heavens—are most def not buying this nascent happy-couple act. And their fave reason for citing why they insist S2's attempt is not going to last? "Her affair with the surfing instructor," bellowed one of these big-haired broads. "They're just never going to get past it, I don't think."

Love! It's all like some movie Aaron Spelling would have written before he croaked, starring Donna Mills or Lori Loughlin, or somebody. Maybe he did? Anyway, things don't look too sweet for sour Shirl's and her hubby—a happy 'n' squeaky ending does not appear forthcoming, promise. 'Cause the hunky dude with the board ain't the only cat in this pussy's bag.

Today's Blind Items - From AP

It has been too long since we have heard from AP. Hell, it has been too long since I have heard from AP. But, she called me last night and told me about something she saw over the weekend. I personally hate this kind of thing, and I do want you to know that AP had a long talk with this woman and told her to call anytime day or night.

AP was working out, and she noticed this really attractive woman who was working out and crying at the same time. Not crying because it hurt or anything, but real tears. So, AP asked if there was anything wrong. Well, it turns out that the woman is dating a married former A list television actor. When I say A list, I mean he was A+ list. Aging. Not too old. Very famous relationships. Not doing much now. Well this actor is an a-hole but this woman is in love with him and he has her convinced that he is going to leave his wife, and yada, yada, yada. Now, this guy used to be really good looking, but now, not so much. Anyway, each morning he has the woman weigh herself and send him a video of her weighing herself. She has to send him photos everyday of how she looks and what she is wearing. If she doesn't weigh what she is supposed to or doesn't look acceptable he yells at her and screams at her and basically treats her like crap.

When AP spoke with her, the woman actually used words and phrases like "he doesn't like it" and "he demands perfection." AP just knows the guy and knows he yells and screams a lot so is assuming he berates her just like he has berated everyone he has ever been with. The ting is, he only sees this woman once or twice a week, but he still demands perfection everyday. Plus, she has to let him know exactly where she is going and with whom and she just does it all without question. The morning in question that AP saw her, the woman was two pounds over her ideal weight and so was trying desperately to work it off because our actor had threatened to not see her that night unless she did, and there were plenty of other women he could be seeing if she could not do it. The thing is, he has this woman so messed up in the head that she barely knows herself anymore. AP was almost crying when she shared this, and AP never cries. Ever.

Nice guy huh?

Random Photos Part One

Bill Melendez - RIP

"Ooooh. You do it even better than Daddy."
I don't care what event Carla Gugino shows up at I am going to put her in here.
Just because you are Danish royalty, doesn't mean you won't pick your kid up off the ground by their clothes.

Or take a cheesy tourist shot in Sydney.
So apparently "Stella" dude with the head nod is just mowing his way through the Hills women. This is Heidi's sister. He also of course dated Lauren, and even went out with Spencer's sister.
Love Cloris Leachman. Glad to see people are inviting her to bigger events. She deserves it.
It is a sad, sad day in the world when genies stop taking their dress code seriously.
"We just had some great sexy time."

As much as I trash Fergie, she did some good work yesterday and the MAC AIDS FUND is a really good group. I actually think she is a great spokesperson for them.
And speaking of good works, Joel and Nicole lent some support to The Sephora Project which is another great cause.
Rex Lee is the best looking. Who you got?
I don't know Jeremy Renner. Never met him, but does anyone else think this tux looks like a rental?

I haven't seen Julia Ormond at an event in a long time. She looks good.
Who knew Jennifer Hudson was so damn tall?
Figure the two a-holes would find each other.
I think this is what some would call "acting."
Liv Tyler looking glamorous. She can dress up so well.

Haven't seen Leona Lewis in awhile. She is in the US to do the huge cancer charity event tomorrow.
Now, I'm guessing Kelly Osbourne isn't looking for a car date, but do we really know for sure?
So, then these are Tom's shoes too right?
Wow. Even Kathy Griffin looks good. Everyone looks good on Wednesday nights.
My favorite name of the week. Nic Srews. Seriously. Say that ten times fast and tell me she wasn't abused by her parents when they gave her that name.

Apparently Natasha Lyonne is still alive.
My first Serbian. Sounds more perv than it is. I just don't think I have had a Serbian actress in the photos before. So, here is Maria Karan.
It's what everyone is wearing to garden these days. Hell, you should see mine. Although mine is in red, and has grass stains.
Apparently boxers are the cool thing to wear in public this year as well. I've been telling my neighbors that for years.
Terrence Howard - New York

Wow, Tyra is really bleached out. Whoops. Oh, that might be Rachel Zoe.
Robert Downey Jr is Robert Goulet
Robert Downey Jr is Gallagher.
Perrey Reeves is spectacular.
So, sometimes I'm thinking the height thing might work out to Verne Troyer's advantage.

How trashy do you have to be, to look sluttier than Tila Tequila?
I've been looking at David Letterman photos for a long time and this is a first.
And a second. Way to go Tilda.
Tricky looks well, uh, tricky?

Guys On CDAN

I feel bad. I know there are straight guys who read the site, but for some reason I don't always give them the love that I should. Of course if I gave them love then it would mean that they weren't straight or me either so that won't work. Anyway, I wanted to make amends for a horrible lapse on my part. I forgot to tell Seth over at ESPN happy birthday this past weekend. He turned 30, and as probably the sole guy over at ESPN who reads the site should be treated better.

I'm sorry I forgot Seth. Hopefully that infection gets healed up really quickly and you can start dating again. Makes it sound really bad doesn't it? Yeah, it's nothing like that. I was going to just leave it without an explanation and then realized that although he may be the only guy at ESPN to read the blog, there may be some women, and maybe they wanted to date Seth, and after reading that, maybe not so much. I promise. He is safe as far as I know.

Now, onto another guy. This guy was one of the very few guys to send in a reader photo. For that I will be ever grateful. Of course since then he has hit on just about every woman who reads the site, so it isn't like he didn't get anything out of it. His name is Moby, and unlike the other Moby this one eats meat and has a sense of humor. Moby has a brand new website, which, hey, is about gossip. I really like it, and not just saying that because he is a guy. Today he has got some photos of Palin's teenage daughter and Captain Morgan. Do you think Captain Morgan and the Burger King guy know each other? They seem like they would.

Lainey Blind Item

If motherhood is so rewarding, and what she’s been waiting for her entire life, why is it that there is no evidence of motherhood in her home? Particularly accessories. Pottery Barn doesn’t sell baby bottles.

Which could be why she insists on banning them from the house?

How does she feed her child when there are no bottles in the house?

Well… it’s because she doesn’t feed her child. It’s because the nannies feed her child. The nannies do everything for the child all days of the week. The nannies nanny morning and night while she works morning and night.

Perhaps that’s how she can justify her mandates: no bottles in the house, only bottles in the nanny trailers. She’s the modern mom?

Score One For Carrie

When you are Carrie Underwood and don't have many friends it allows you to spend a great deal of time thinking, or looking in a mirror. If you have even half of a brain, it also allows you to come up with zingers like the one she just sent to Jessica Simpson. I don't know if Carrie came up with it or her friend or her publicist, but it actually made me laugh out loud which is something stars usually do only when they do something fun, like get arrested.

So, when Carrie saw the People Magazine cover of Jessica Simpson above, she had the following to say about it to OK! Magazine. "It’s the same one Jess did about John Mayer — same smile, same look, except she’s a little fatter.”

Nice. You know that one made Jessica cry a little bit. It is also true. I don't know about the fat thing because, as you know, unless you are Val Kilmer, I don't notice fat. I do notice dumb, goofy smiles though, and professions of love. You know who you have to feel sorry for here is Tony Romo. Not only is he dating one of the ten dumbest celebrities, but you know she is just calling him up constantly and bugging him. Doesn't Jessica seem like the call every five minutes kind of person? She probably calls him when she or her dog does anything of any significance.

"Honey, the dog just sat down. Isn't that so cool. Do you love me? Do you? Do you still talk to Carrie? Do people at the football thingy talk about me? What do they say? Oh, I have to go, Daddy wants to take some nudes."

Oh, and Jessica. A little side note. Yes, I know Dusty Springfield is dead. However, her ghost told me that she would much appreciate the fact that while she knows she cannot stop you from butchering her songs when you sing them, that perhaps you could at least get her name correct. For such a big fan, you seem to have a tough time with her name. It is not Daisy, or Doozey or whatever other name you came up with in the past week.

2 Minutes Is $30,000

What happens when you find two minutes of film of Marilyn Monroe taken by a sailor she took a liking to while she was filming Some Like It Hot? Well, if you are the sailor's kid, you find the film in its unopened box, and then sell it. In this case, the film is supposed to get about $30,000 when it goes on sale in Australia on September 25.

To me, it is just kind of cool that a US Navy sailor meets Marilyn Monroe. She likes him. A lot. Invites him to the set in San Diego and lets him film her filming. Then, over the course of the next fifty years somehow the film, and the box end up in Melbourne, Australia. So many things could have happened to it in the interim, but nothing did, and the daughter of the sailor just happened to find the film by chance. You would have thought the guy would have retold the story a million times about how he got to spend a day or night or whatever with Marilyn Monroe. Guess he kept the story to himself which is why it took so long to find the film. Below is some of the film, as well as a story about it. (Thanks CB)

There Are No Droughts In Oprah's World

Ahhh Oprah. Yes, it has been awhile since you entered this space. Guess you have been keeping yourself out of trouble. Nothing too shameful since the whole fake interview with Tom and Katie. You know the two parter about Risky Business and its effect on the cinema of the world. Godfather? You gave it five seconds once. Anyway, that isn't why I brought you back to the blog. Actually I didn't even bring you back her to talk about your mom either, because you know, parents are parents, and just because she owes $150K to a clothing store is none of my business. Instead of letting it get to the point of a lawsuit though, it would have been nice maybe to write the poor woman a check. I mean you probably have that much in the cushions in your couch.

No, the reason I brought you here today Oprah is to talk to you about your water usage. Apparently you like to water your lawn a bunch. Now, I understand you don't have a lawn in your Chicago condo, so this is directed more towards your home in Montecito which is Santa Barbara for those of you not familiar with the area. Oprah has about 40 acres at her house there which she uses infrequently. Despite rarely being there, she still managed to use over 10 million gallons of water in 2006 and again in 2007. That's right. 10 million gallons. Now, you might say hey, what does it matter?

Well, the rest of the county has been instructed to reuse shower water, and take other drastic measures, Oprah sits on her throne and won't even meet with county officials about her water use.

“They won’t see us,” explained water district manager Tom Mosby. “They’re very private, and trying to get in has proved very difficult.”

Uh huh. Now, lets say that you or I decided to start using 10 million gallons of water a year and the government wanted a word with us, do you think we would be able to avoid them? Hell no. So what makes Oprah so damn special? Fine, if Oprah isn't in town, meet with someone else. How low on the Harpo totem pole do you have to go before someone can actually meet with "everyday people?" Is there not anyone who sits at the right hand of Oprah who can talk to mortals?

This is the kind of crap that just makes celebrities look even more spoiled and pretentious than they already are. When you start ignoring the government, and stop caring about what every other person is having to do to survive in the county, then you know something has to give.

Now, lest you think that things were like this on Oprah's property were like this before she moved in, let me tell you what it used to be like. Since Oprah moved into what she calls, "Promised Land" the water usage has doubled. Doubled. Apparently Oprah must like practicing walking on water or something.

"He Doesn't Know Her"

Far be it from me to ever think a publicist got it wrong, but when a publicist comes out and says, "he doesn't know her," then hopefully in fact he doesn't know her.

The subject of the quote is Hugh Grant, who is always shy about entangling himself in any couple issues because it would affect his friends with benefits relationship with Elizabeth Hurley. Sure, she allowed Hugh to have Jemima Khan, but I think that is his one freebie.

Anyway, Hugh was spotted in the Hamptons this weekend with an ex-model named Catherine Fulmer. In case you were wondering, the age difference is about 20 years. So, the couple were spotted walking on the beach together, holding hands before attending a party together. Later, they went out drinking, and Hugh is attending her show at Fashion Week in New York this week.

When asked about the budding romance, Hugh's publicist gave the quote.

So, what does the guy say when they get married? "Oh, they met at church and exchanged some words. It was nothing really."

Britney Spears Was Raped - Did Mom Encourage It? You Decide

See. Now that is a headline. This morning everyone is talking about the National Enquirer and some of the excerpts it got from the new Lynne Spears book about successful parenting. Apparently successful parenting begins with allowing your kids to drink at 13, and get raped with your encouragement at 14. In her new book, Lynne documents the fact that Britney Spears started drinking at 13 while on the Mickey Mouse Club show, and then at 14, encouraged her to date an 18 year old football player because it would make her more popular.

So, on the advice of mom, Britney spent more and more time at the guy's house and eventually they ended up having sex which would make it statutory rape. Mom was sad that Britney lost her virginity, but still encouraged Britney and Justin Timberlake to sleep together because she felt he was good for her. "Hey, you are so good to my daughter. So please, go ahead and f**k her whenever you want."

What the hell kind of parenting is that? I'm ok with her spilling the goods on her kids because hey, she has to put food on her table also, and nothing says good parenting like exploiting your kids for money.

When Britney was caught using coke and pot at 15, mom just thought that was normal teenage behavior. Normal teenage behavior? Where the hell did Lynne Spears grow up? "Oh, sure Britney does coke, but it is what all the kids are doing today."

Uh huh.

Oh, and get this. Despite encouraging her daughter to have sex and use drugs and date guys to be more popular, she wishes Britney had not been promoted as a sex object to sell records. No, I'm sure the whole virginal thing and counting on her vast singing talent would have been the way to go on that one.

Speaking of singing talent. Britney is scheduled to open the VMA's on Sunday, but she won't be singing, not that she was really belting out tunes on there when she performed previously.

In case you want the Lynne Spears book, and to see how she f**ked up the rest of her kids it is called "Through The Storm: A Real Tale Of Fame And Family In A Tabloid World."

You can add drug dealer to the list of accomplishments of this "porn" celebutard. Apparently though, he makes even celebrities pay for it much to the chagrin of this allegedly clean, home team B- film and television actress who spent much of Friday night trying to convince our tard that she was good for the money, and was even willing to play for the other team on film if he could see his way into giving her some. They weren't seen leaving together, so apparently he wasn't interested. Unlike him, but possible. Would be a big money maker.

Jerry Reed - RIP


Now that Anne Hathaway has stooped having to pay $37,000 a month for her boyfriend's rent, she can go back to spending some money on herself and looking glamorous. I'm really getting tired of her, and think she probably stabbed her boyfriend in the back while portraying herself as the little innocent, but I will admit she looks really good here.
Wow, it has been like three, maybe four months now that Cameron Diaz and Paul Sculfor have been together.
A first time appearance for Chris Lowell in the photos.
So, check out the poster behind Hayden Panettiere. Are you telling me some guy brought that from home to get signed? That thing is huge. Did he think she was going to bend over and sign it?

I know that models learn how to pose and which angles suit them best, but Elle MacPherson looks really, really good.
Now that is a magazine cover.

So, Electrolux is calling Kelly Ripa, America's favorite mom. First of all, I think most people would pick their own mom. ( I said most) Second of all, when I think of Kelly Ripa, the fact she is a mom is way down on the list. I don't know who America's favorite mom is, but it definitely is not Kelly Ripa.

Yes, she's back. Katie Price and a new line of clothes for the horse and horse rider in your life. So, for all of you who own a horse, I encourage you to rush right out and get the outfit Katie is wearing for your ride this weekend. What I want to know is what idiot actually coughed up money for this project? Was it before or after he thought he was going to get laid?
I must be in a good mood today because Keira Knightley looks as good here as she ever has. Amazing.
I honestly think this is the first time I have had a photo of John Malkovich in the photos. It saddens me to think that I have probably had twenty of Paris Hilton no matter how embarrassing to her they may have been, and none of John Malkovich.
And what about Jonathon Demme? None of him either. One of the great directors of our time. Jack squat. None.
Wow, Orlando Bloom cleans up nicely.

And look who was there for him when he did. Of course, if Miranda Kerr wanted me to clean up and drop 200 pounds, I would probably do so as well.
Naomi Watts and her brother Ben. Ben looks to me like he may have had one too many beers at the party sponsored by a vodka company. Nice. Oh, and Naomi isn't officially pregnant yet, so please don't stare.
Yeah, it's Kate Walsh. How many people like her? I won't be offended if you say you do, I'm just curious.

Lily Allen & Elton John

So, all morning I have been hearing about Elton John and Lily Allen getting into a fight at the GQ Awards yesterday in London, and had read the words, but hadn't seen the fight until now. I'm sure it is available in other places, but I kind of like the idea of a foreign language news broadcast which stops talking long enough for us to see Lily Allen drink, and to catch all the good stuff between the couple. After watching it a few times, I get the feeling that they dislike each other, but if someone told me it was staged I would probably believe you also.

They seem so stiff and awkward while delivering the lines that it could almost be something that was written for them. Anyway, take a look and see if you think the anger was real or manufactured.

What Do You Think?

Anonymous is at it again. This time, they have announced they are going to picket the New Village Academy. That is the school out here that Will Smith and his open marriage spouse Jada Pinkett Smith recently opened.

I already spent time previously talking about how it really is just one big Scientology school. Sure, they can call it independent and say they don't espouse any one philosophy, but that is just a bunch of crap. They have more Scientology courses on offer than probably most schools which admit to being Scientology funded schools. I'm surprised the kids don't have an e-meter on their back to school list or that they have a personal auditing session during lunch.

Anyway, Anonymous wants to picket the school and bring down their terror upon Will Smith and his open marriage spouse Jada Pinkett Smith. I'm just wondering if this open relationship has a better chance of scoring a Jada/Tom hookup, Will/Tom hookup, or Jada/Katie hookup.

You know I love Anonymous and anything to bring attention to their cause is good, but I have a little problem with this picketing. They are going to picket a school. You know, where innocent kids who have no idea what is going on will be. You never know when something will happen or tempers will flare and maybe some kid gets in the middle. I'm not saying it could or would happen, just saying that they can go picket the houses of the teachers or principal or Will and Jada, and leave the kids alone. Who knows what the picketers will be yelling and I'm sure they would be directing many of their yells at kids who won't know what to say or why they are being targeted. Many of the kids attending are in pre-school and kindergarten, and so I just think that perhaps there is a better way to achieving the goal of shutting down the school or removing the proposed curriculum.

I could be wrong of course. What do you think about picketing and kids?

Get Out The Lime Green And Day Glo Orange

Want to see Jessica Biel looking uglier than normal? Ever want to see the Duff sisters uncomfortable? Would you like lots and lots of photos of it so you can laugh and laugh? Well, Beverley Mitchell could do just that. You remember Beverley don;t you? She was on 7th Heaven with Jessica, and in fact, played her sister.

Well Beverley is getting married and guess who are going to be bridesmaids? Yep, Jessica Biel and both of the Duff sisters. Mitchell is marrying Michael Cameron in Italy and somehow talked the women into being in the wedding party. Normally, female celebrities try and avoid that unless it is a sister or very close relative because there is the inevitable photo taking and the awkward moments at the reception which are captured on film for the entire YouTube world to see.

Celebrities love to go to weddings because it makes them feel important. Being part of the wedding party? Not so much. So, for Beverley to pull this off she must have really kissed a whole bunch of ass over the years. She probably also had to agree to let all the wedding party pick out their own dresses. Still though, there is that possibility that they will just do what women have done for generations, and allow themselves to be put into dresses that will never see the light of day again, and photos of which will be posted on every blog and website for all of eternity.

I did notice that one notable missing person from the wedding party list and isn't even scheduled to get an invite is Ashlee Simpson. Hmmmm. Interesting. Guess we know which side Beverley took in the Simpson-Duff war.

Joe And Angie Together Again

See. This is what I love. We can do some gossiping about someone who really doesn't get much press. The word is that Joe Pesci and Angie Everhart are back together again. If you remember, they made that classic mistake where they dated for seven years, Angie finally got the ring, and then they broke up nine months later. I know I often have preached on here that if you don't have a ring from a guy after a few years, it probably isn't going to happen. Well, sometimes when the guy finally breaks down and asks you to marry him, the dynamic of the relationship can change. It can be for good as in he gets excited about something permanent, or it can be bad, and he or you can freak the hell out at realizing it is going to be permanent. So, when Joe, who is like 30 years older than Angie broke it off nine months ago, Angie went out with a guy who allegedly liked to beat her and choke her. Apparently it got out of hand, and so she broke it off. Joe did a little playing around also, but guess he missed Angie.

Yesterday they were spotted out to dinner with each other. It is like the third or fourth time in the past two weeks they have been together. At this point Joe realized that he is 65 years old and that he probably could do worse than getting back together with his 30 something supermodel ex girlfriend that he dated for seven years. Hey, she knows what he likes, and it is comfortable. I'm happy for them.

Celebrities And Airports

Unless you are Madonna who somehow is allowed to wander through airports half naked, it seems that the only place on the entire earth where the playing field is level for the entire world is the airport. If you just won an Academy Award, the airline may make an exception and let you bring it on the plane, but dammit you are taking your shoes off before you go through security.

Because celebrities are so used to getting their way in everything they do, it is always fun to see them crashing back to earth when they meet some guy at an airport who is only doing his job. Unless you live in Australia, you probably have no idea who Carla Bonner is. It doesn't really matter, but she is an actress on the show Neighbours.

Well, I'm guessing the show doesn't pay very well, or she is just cheap because she had the lowest class of ticket you could possibly buy on a flight from Melbourne to New Castle. The low ticket price meant she could only have one very small piece of carry on luggage.

Well, being a celebrity, she thought that rule was only meant to apply to "everyday people" and not her. When the guy making minimum wage at the airport stated he would need to measure her bag, she went ballistic. Cussed at the guy, called him every name in the book. Did the whole do you know who I am thing, and basically dared anyone to tell her what she could and could not bring on the plane.

Ummm. They banned her from the flight. Although everyone present said she went off on the poor guy, Bonner said that it was the worker who was at fault. According to her, he should have known she was special, and not even bothered to measure the bag. No, what she said was he was rude. Well Carla, what I think what he was doing was his job. Now, if you had been like "everyday people" you would have opened your bag, looked to see which crap you could throw away, do so, and then step on your bag to make it smaller. Problem solved. Or you could just pony up the extra $20. That's right. All that because of $20.

It involved a female lead from a hit network drama. So, I'm sure one of you mater sleuths will find the item. Anyway, I always was under the impression that they broke up because he is a loser, and she finally caught on to that fact. Well, he is a loser, but what he managed to do in the very short time they were together is burn through almost every dollar she has earned for the last three years and her earnings for the foreseeable future. Turns out that besides his horrendous business sense, that he is also a huge gambler and was signing marker after marker in Vegas based solely on his wife's income. Our actress has so little money right now that the only way she can afford to drive a car is because the dealer is giving her one for free for promotional purposes and her agent bought her another.

Is She Stupid?

Is Angelina Jolie as dumb as a box of rocks? Joan Rivers thinks so. In an interview with a morning show in the UK, Joan Rivers had this to say about Angelina Jolie. "I mean, she's attractive, but not a bright girl -- stunningly beautiful, but stupid."

See, I get an entirely different impression from Angelina. Maybe Joan was confusing Angelina with her daughter Melissa. No, because then she would have to amend the beautiful part to ugly and stupid.

To me Angelina Jolie is one of the brighter celebs around. When she speaks about a topic she actually seems to know what she is talking about. I hate when a celeb supports some issue of the day, but when you get beyond question one they are at a loss about what the issue actually means. Angelina, at least comes prepared to answer questions and can present her side well. Is she a rocket scientist? No, but she does what she does very well. I don't care how beautiful or how famous you are, when you get invited to speak at Davos and their conference, you generally need to have something to contribute besides whether you made out with your brother, while Billy Bob Thornton watched.

To me, Angelina uses the press better than anyone in a very long time. She makes the films she wants and gets the price she requests. She is a very good actress, and despite some missteps that would have crushed any other actress and brought their career to a screeching halt, she somehow manages to always have public opinion firmly planted on her side.

I think Joan Rivers at this point in her career is trying to make herself relevant again, and so is taking whatever opportunity presents itself to get herself noticed. Do we care about Joan Rivers? Do we care what is happening in her life? No, but then she makes a statement like the one she did today, and suddenly she is front and center. I respect Joan for what she has done with one bit she has played repeatedly for 40 years, but perhaps, now is the time to just gracefully retire, so as to not become the butt of jokes, rather than the giver of them. She ceased being funny a long time ago.

Of course, all of you might think Angelina is stupid and that I am wrong. What do you think? Stupid or not?

Show Some Respect

Look, whatever is going on between Lindsay Lohan and her dad has been brewing for years and years. Sure they got along for awhile when she got out of her most recent stay in rehab, but when she realized it was all about Michael, Michael, Michael and the money he could make from her, they drifted apart. Fine. Cool. Happens.

Because Michael enjoys hearing himself talk, and often runs out of anything useful to say, he ends up pissing people off when he continues to yammer. He did so last week and Lindsay got pissed. But, at the end of the week, when Michael's dad died, there appeared to be a little crack or sliver for some love to appear.

Nope. Here is where I take issue with Lindsay. Your grandfather had a funeral in New York. You were in New York. Maybe your grandfather and you were not close. Maybe he tried to always borrow money from you or coke or whatever. I don't know. Maybe you just decided you would stick it to your dad by not going to his dad's funeral. Fine. Your choice. Narrow minded and child like, but ok. I mean there is the possibility if you had gone that your dad would have sold the photos to a tabloid. But hey, at least he didn't ask you to contribute flowers.

So, if you are trying to get back at your dad, then do so, but do so with some respect for your grandfather, because without him, you wouldn't be walking the earth. If you want to stay at home while the funeral is going on, then by all means do so. If you and Sam are playing 101 Uses For A Hat, then by all means continue your game.

What isn't right, and what you did, is to go out shopping during the funeral, and let yourself get photographed laughing and giggling like you didn't have a care in the world. What you were basically saying is F**k you grandpa. I just don't think that is right. What kind of example are you setting for all those school kids who always run up to you because of the Disney films? Are you telling them to stick it to their grandfather also?

Look, it is your life, and your lessons to learn, but this one was about as low as you can go.

Pamela Anderson Found Someone She Hasn't Had Sex With

According to The Mirror, last month, Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson had a string of dates at Shutters Hotel in Malibu. Ummm. Don't get me wrong because I would love for this to be true and I can make a lot of snark about something like this, but Shutters Hotel is in Santa Monica, not Malibu, and it really wouldn't be all that cloak and dagger if it were Shutters because they let anyone in there. Sure, it's nice. Actually it is really nice, but if you can afford the food or drink there, then it is open to anyone. Plus, I really don't think Michael Jackson does the beach. Oh sure, he will get in a sand box with you, but I guarantee there will be a group shower later and an inspection from Michael to make sure you didn't miss a spot.

So, when The Mirror says that Michael and Pamela had a few quiet drinks at the bar, I'm wondering where this exactly happened because people would be all over them. There is not really a VIP area because it is a hotel bar. It is not a club. Tourists mix with locals and celebs and everyone gets their drink and their suntan on.

Lets just assume the story is true. Lets just suspend disbelief. Why would it be true? Pamela is filming a reality show and landed Michael Jackson. That would be a huge ratings boost. Maybe Michael has a crush on Tommy Lee or Pam's kids and figured this was the best way to get close to them. Or, maybe Michael has the largest Baywatch collection in the world and needed Pamela to sign things for a few hours. Maybe Michael is going to be on the VMA's this weekend and wanted to try and recreate the whole Lisa Marie Presley thing. If my vote counts in all of this, I am going with the VMA thing. Either that or the crush on the kids. Maybe Michael is in fact, the only guy in the world Pamela hasn't slept with. See, if I'm the Mirror and I get all the other stuff wrong, I would just go for one of the above and just go with that. It sounds much more interesting anyway than cloak and dagger dates and Pamela being flirty. Please.

Anonymous Finds Tickets Easy To Get

Did you hear about the ticket broker in New York who bought 1,000 tickets for All My Sons? You know, the play starring Katie Holmes that always confuses me with the television show My Three Sons. Last time a reporter interviewed the broker, he had sold about 100 of the tickets he had purchased, and that was only at a steep discount. Apparently the Scientology people are not doing a very good job of ensuring sellout after sellout of the production. You know they could, but maybe they won't because Tom wants it to close so Katie can come home. So, since no one else was buying any of the tickets to opening night, why not Anonymous? In addition to the special surprise outside the theatre opening night, members of Anonymous will be scattered throughout the audience. Nothing like a sea of masks in the audience. The great thing is none of the Scientology thugs can really do anything about it. There is no law about wearing a mask inside a theatre, especially so close to Halloween. What would be really cool though is if they wore masks of characters from Tom Cruise films.

Plus, no one will even care how awful Katie is in the play because everyone will just be talking about Anonymous and what they did. Every story across the globe about the play that night will join together Katie, Tom, Scientology and Anonymous. Brilliant.

Even though Don had this great voice and could charge outrageous fees for something, he was also the first guy to do a favor or do something for charity or just record your voice mail greeting.
