Full Frontal Friday

Aah, that time again. If it is time for naked peen it must mean the weekend is upon us. Of course many of you would probably like to be upon or have Alex Dimitrides upon you. Today you get to find out what he would be bringing upon. I know it makes no sense, but the flask in my desk is half empty, so who cares. I want to get back to the flask, so without further ado, click here for Alex and many, many others.

Four For Friday - Top 20 Show Edition - Except For The First

#1 - Don't be fooled by the rumors. They are a distraction. You may have heard this former A list singer has been dating a hockey player. Nope, not the one in the stories. A married one. She doesn't need the bad press and so the other name was floated out there.

#2 - C+ list actress co-star on a Top 20 network show. You would know her face if you watch the show, but doubtful you would know the name. But not for the reasons you think. Anyway, you would think since her boyfriend can't get a job he would at least find time to help raise the baby while our actress is at work. I mean it is his kid I think. But, no, he makes the actress get a nanny so he can go hang out at strip clubs all day with her money.

#3 - Foreign born B lister who is the lead in his Top 20 network show. Umm, if you are going to do some work on our actor's house, you may want to consider insurance or a lawyer. A group of people were repairing our actor's roof. One of them slipped on the roof and fell to the ground. Hurt badly. Our actor would not let the man into his home, and said that because the hurt worker was an illegal immigrant, no one would care about him one way or the other and to just get him off the actor's property.

#4 - Want to know the new lover of our fake bride? Not going to back and rehash. Someone help everyone else out. OK, our actress is probably C+ list, because everyone on these ensemble shows makes some dough and they are on television every week, but they are not household names. Well, our actress has been on several hits, but this is her biggest and she is a co-star on it. She is a little older than our fake bride but they have been inseparable for the past two months.

Random Photos Part One

To all my readers and friends in Canada, enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend. I hope that all of you get to spend time with your family, your friends, and those close to you. I'm actually getting impatient for Thanksgiving here because it is my favorite holiday. I actually thought about flying to Canada this weekend and just crashing a house of a stranger for some turkey. But, with my luck it would be probably be some student or something who couldn't go home because they had too much studying to do and they would be going out to dinner for some Chinese food and I could have that just as easily here. Well, in any event, make sure that whatever you don't finish on Sunday, go ahead and send it to me. Don't know if I can wait six more weeks for Turkey.
Ummm. They must be playing hockey in hell because Ben Affleck is holding his daughter and is out in public with her. I would have also accepted, "Look, up in the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's a pig."
For those of you who have not seen Beck in awhile or didn't catch him on Letterman.
Calle 13 - New York
Corbin Bernsen is looking pretty damn good.
Is it me, or does Josh Brolin look a little different?

It's actually sad that Giselle can make it tough to decide which one is plastic and which one is real.
Duffy - London
Yeah. Despite the idiocy that is Dania Ramirez and Jay Hernandez I really want to see their new film Quarantine.
Too much Charlize Theron lately, but she is playing golf. Never seen it before so I had to include it.
Kevin Connelly is directing the music video in which Gisele is starring in. Somehow the two got separated from each other in the photos. Not on the set though. On the set they were like glue. And not Elmer's or all the paste you ate as a kid, but super glue. Like construction helmet to the beam super glue. Like be careful playing with it and then your beans or the emergency room is going to laugh. Oh yeah. They didn't know I could hear them but I could.

You can't actually buy Dep anymore can you? I mean where is Jason Wahler getting his tribute to the 80's hair gel from anyway?
Jonathon Schaech. Don't like the guy, but he looks decent here. He has a girlfriend who clings to him like Kim Kardashian to a rich guy, but he looks decent.
OK. Listen. I understand Joey King is in the film. But she is like what? 8. I don't think she should be seeing the film.
Is Joe Jonas wearing makeup? Is that why he is so upset at getting caught? The happy go lucky face isn't there when he isn't expecting it.
Been too long since we have seen Maggie. Of course the pose looks like she just got arrested and is being booked, but it is great to see her.


Mel C. - Manchester
Apparently Katie Price actually does ride horses and is not doing a Civil War reenactment.
Kinky - New York
At what point do you suppose Katie Chonacas decided that she just couldn't find the right pair of jeans and said f**k it, just wearing the shirt.
Probably my favorite photo of the day. Sting and Elle Macpherson.



You know. This doesn't even look like a good idea in the photo. Perhaps the baby should be on the boat side arm instead of hanging over the railing above the sea. Just a tip.
This is some French television dude named Stephane Bern. Apparently he has no friends.
Like it? It is by Picasso.
Has anyone ever seen Marin Hinkle at any event ever? I don't even think she does press for Two and A Half Men. And she picks Quarantine to be her first? Interesting.

Your Turn

I have to say that last week everyone gave me lots of great ideas for future Your Turns. We have talked a lot about films and music in the Your Turn segment, but never your all-time favorite television show. You know the one, where if you did not have a way to record it or watch it online. No matter what you would be in front of that television watching that show.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which rowdy celeb is hounding his ex with text messages and is still under the illusion they are dating? She has definitely moved on.

I Don't Think Gift Clement Is Real

For those of you who were readers of the site last year, you are probably familiar with my torrid romance with Gift Clement. Sure, she could be a little flaky, and sure, it was just e-mails, but I could feel the passion in each one of them. Yeah, I know, she was in love with me, but my photo was of Ted Casablanca, but I think our love would have survived such a lie. It was a true, unrequited love. A love like no other that anyone has ever had with an e-mail scammer. Or at least I thought so. See, the other day I got another e-mail from Gift. Sure, it had been awhile, but I thought that maybe she realized what we had and decided to return to my arms. I know, I know. Now that she has given away her fortune, we would be poor, but I figured true love would conquer all. Turns out though that Gift may have been just playing me for a fool all along. Why you ask? Well the letter she sent me is almost identical to the one she sent me a year ago. I will spare you her e-mail. If you want to read one almost identical, just click on her label and you can read about our love and romance. Here though is my e-mail back to her.


Dearest Gift,

It has been ages since I have heard from you. I was worried that your former in-laws may have finally succeeded in killing you. I'm grateful you are still alive and that you somehow manage to evade them despite being bedridden in a hospital. I was not only shocked to hear from you, but even more so that you still have not given away the fortune of your deceased husband.

We could have done so much with that money. Do you know how much good we could have done with it. Not really the good you probably intended since you wanted it to go to churches or to charities, but it would have made me feel good, and really isn't that what is important. Oh sure, I would have given a few dollars here and there to the Campaign To Eradicate Paris Hilton or the Denise Richards Dog Foundation, but primarily it would have gone to making sure I was happy and you had the best 24/7 hospital care that $18.47 a month can get.

The last I heard from you was that you were traveling through India. I pictured you rolling through the streets of Delhi in your hospital bed as hundreds of people looked to you for a few dollars or kind words. I admit that I was jealous. I thought you had found some other person to share in your multi-million dollar fortune. Oh, how I was jealous. But, because I know you have a good heart and would never try and take something that belonged to others I was happy for you and your new boyfriend. Did he love you like I did? It's ok. You can tell me. I have moved on.

I know, I know. If you were thinking that perhaps we could rekindle our romance, I must tell you that I met a woman from the Ivory Coast who has $14M she inherited from a long lost uncle. All she needed was my bank account information, my photo and my full name and now she is going to share that money with me. I know this might seem callous of me, but she does have twice as much money as you, and because she is not confined to a hospital bed or being hunted down by relatives, I thought it would be a little easier on me. Plus, honestly she is in her 80's and so is likely to not be around for much longer. You on the other hand seem to have an ability to stay alive despite all your infirmities.

I see from your e-mail you have moved to Somalia. I hear it is lovely place, if you have a gun and a certain sense of adventure. I admire your spirit and your spunk. I want you to take care of yourself Gift. Think of me often, and remember to take the safety off before you start firing.

All my love,


Ted


OK, I Laughed

Yes, I admit it. I laughed when I saw the clip of Oprah from the new season of 30 Rock. Whether it is because Tina Fey set her up beautifully, or whether Oprah does actually have some comedic timing, I don't know, but their sneak peek scene from the November 6th episode is funny. Really funny. I also want to send a special thanks to the people at NBC for only including Jennifer Aniston for about one second of the 30 seconds from the preview. It is one second I won't get back of my life, but I do appreciate it.

Matthew Shepard - 10 Years Later, We Remember

Sunday, is the 10th anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard. Don't let his death be in vain. Fight bigotry and hate with both words and actions wherever you go, and in everything you do. To read a report from Matthew's mom and to see a video of her on CBS discussing what progress has been made over the past ten years in the fight against hate, click here.





What Is Lindsay Scared Of?


Although I have not written about it much, you are probably aware that Samantha Ronson got her ass kicked by a gossip blogger and had to pay fees to him. Well, apparently Ms. Ronson being the litigious sort she is, decided that it was her lawyer's fault that she got her ass kicked and so is suing him for malpractice. When her current lawyer loses that case, she will then turn around and sue him and it just goes on and on.

Anyway, as part of the suit, Samantha's old attorney is taking the deposition of Lindsay Lohan and Lindsay is freaked out about it. Freaked out enough to go to court and try and keep it from being videotaped. It is bad enough that all of us will eventually hear about it probably, but there is no way on earth she wants people to actually hear the words coming out of her mouth. Just channeled Chris Tucker in Rush Hour. That doesn't usually happen.

OK, so Lindsay is worried because she is going to be asked questions about the drugs that were found in her car the night of her infamous drug arrest, where they came from, how they got there, and what she did that night. In addition she will also be questioned extensively about the true nature of her relationship with Samantha Ronson. Interesting. So, what the hell does Lindsay not want the world to see? Do we really care who gave her drugs or how many she took? Hell no. That is old news. According to her filing seeking no video, she said it could cause her "unwarranted annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, undue burden and expense."

Annoyance and embarrassment huh? Well we already know about the drugs so how could she be annoyed or embarrassed about that? Uh oh. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Are Sam and Lindsay faking it? Is she walking in the front door with Sam and walking out the back door with guys? Is there something kinky about their relationship she doesn't want the world to know? Does Lindsay go home at night and dress like Michael? You know, put on a see through mesh shirt and pose? All I know is that it must be something big to go to the trouble of not taping the deposition. Even if there is no tape, someone will leak the testimony anyway.

Stalker Watch


There are way too many stalkers for me to keep track of. It would not be a bad idea for a a website though. Just keeping the public updated on where the stalkers of celebrities are and what they are up to. What magazines they like to read while stalking. Any favorite beverage to keep them up at night as they stare through the windows of a celebrity home looking for movement. That kind of thing.

Well, one stalker I have kind of kept my eye on is the one who was arrested for stalking John Cusack last year. She was arrested outside his home. If you will recall she was arrested when she took a cab to Cusack's house but did not pay the cab driver. The cab driver called the cops and somehow Cusack came outside, saw her and the cops arrested her. Her first stalking charge was as a result of the 200 messages she sent Cusack which consisted of love letters weighted down by screwdrivers and rocks.

Yesterday she could have had a plea deal which basically would have seen her go home. Instead, she rejected the deal or didn't understand it and so her trial starts today and she faces 4 years in prison if convicted. Stalkers are dangerous. I understand that. This woman needs help though. From what I read about her appearance in court yesterday, the woman has no idea what is going on or is in and out of reality, and sending her to state prison for your years is not going to help that situation. It is just going to make her more unstable, and when she gets out of prison, whoever her focus ends up being, is in for a world of hurt. Yes, maybe even Misery hurt.

Playboy Becomes Girls Gone Wild


Before the internet when you had to get your porn by stealing magazines from 7-Eleven there was sort of a pecking order. In Playboy you were going to get tasteful shots with a heavy emphasis on articles. Penthouse was kind of your middle of the road fun. A little freakier than Playboy. Then there was Hustler. That was for your gold chain wearing guys who traded their wives on the weekends. Sure there were lots of others, but those three magazines were like the McDonalds, Burger King and Wendys of porn. Your Coke, Pepsi and 7Up (Dr. Pepper) if you will.

Playboy was class. If someone saw you with a Playboy you might have actually been looking at it for something other than photos. I always thought the way Hugh Hefner carried himself in public and in appearances was impeccable. There was a quality standard that no other men's magazine met.

As much as I might be snarky about Holly or Kendra, but of course never Bridget, at least I think the women were close to representing what Playboy has always been about. Remember this is the magazine that had Marilyn Monroe. So, when I saw yesterday the two women Hef is pretending to sleep with for the next season of the show and for his girlfriends I got sad actually. Here is an 82 year old man with two 19 year old twins. He was eligible for social security when they were born. He was in his 30's when THEIR parents were born. But you know what, I could almost be ok with that. What really ticked me off about this and Playboy's reputation is that these are two girls who are probably too trashy maybe for even Girls Gone Wild.

They both have a felony conviction, and one of the twins has another misdemeanor charge that was reduced from a felony. They are 19. How do you think they are acting at the Mansion? Do you think they give a f**k about Hef? Nope. It is all about the money. I wouldn't be surprised if they are looting the mansion as we speak. While Hef takes one of his many naps, they are taking crap and yelling at Hef's secretary. I'm sure Hef got talked into the twins by the producers of the show talking about how it would be good for ratings to have the twins. But what he is doing is just trashing everything he has worked at for the last sixty years.

So, my advice to Hef is show some balls, and kick the girls out and go live with Barbi Benton. You liked her best anyway and she is within 30 years of your age.

Ted C Blind Item

First, gotta say how much I’m lovin’ these cranky-ass comments everybody’s leaving. You all make sinister voice-mailing Alec Baldwin seem like some sort of friggin’ pansy, by comparison. Particularly intrigued by all the Queen Latifah remarks that claim I’m the one who’s ultimately being antigay by writing Blind Vices about closeted celebs, making it seem like their actions are sinister and bad, therefore I’m the one promoting self-hating activities by gay people, and therefore I’m part of the problem. Screw that crap. Just the messenger here, babes. I mean, by that warped thinking, half the White House press team is responsible for the war in Iraq, just by virtue of reporting it, what a crock of BS.

And just to prove my point, here we go again—and babes, is it ever an evil delish one! Dimpled Drew is a most successful performer. He’s got it all, good wife at home, a family who adores him, looks, bucks, nice bod, cute face, what could possibly be missing? Uh, well, for starters, certain activities that involve the type of person Eddie Murphy’s infamous for transporting in the middle of the night: trannies. Transvestites, to be exact, i.e., men who dress in women’s clothing, often for the purpose of sexual pleasure and to perform lustful exercises for seemingly straight men.

You know the type these pretty hons hook up with: Dudes who pretend they’re all happy and het in their other life, all the while they’re getting down with male-male sex on the sly, and convincing themselves it’s OK, ‘cause the dude’s wear lipstick and a wig. You straight men just crack me up, particularly when they’re as stupid as Dimpled Drew.

See, D2, always deftly used an anonymous email account to set up his rendezvous with his fave tranny, let’s call her Maxi Knee-Pad. So, Maxi was always given strict instructions: leave the front door to her apartment open, lights out, candles only, then Dimpled would creep on in at the appointed hour and get serviced (a lot, and all the hell over, babes, pretty horny dude here we’re talkin’ about, hardly just a homo-curious lad, he’s an all-out slut!) and then slip away into the night, D.D.’s true identity undetected.

And it worked. Until one day, the handsome dumbass made a date with Maxi from his regular email account, which had his real name on it. Hmmm. Wonder how the fan base you’re, like, totally effing with by lying to them, would feel about this, Mr. Drew? Shall we find out?

Today's Blind Items

Last week, this A list director of some very huge films was shooting his new movie. After work, our director went to a local restaurant (as was his routine) where he picked up two local floozies. After buying them a few drinks and impressing them with his big-shot “I’m a Big Hollywood Director” come-on, our director took the two tramps back to his hotel for a night of debauchery. Little did our director know what he was getting himself into!

Turns out that this pair of hometown hotties weren’t as dumb as our director thought. In fact, there were certified pros, if you get my meaning. (Word has it ugly pros, too – but hey, whattaya want.)

Anyway, flash forward a few hours

Our director wakes up the next morning feeling all kinds of groggy. He discovers his wallet missing, and worst of all – his laptop stolen. On the purloined laptop was reportedly the script to his new movie and several highly secret, ultra-confidential, For-His-Eyes-Only visual FX sequences for the new movie that could be leaked any day now. Not surprisingly, the studio is furious with our director and his utter lack of discretion.

Random Photos Part One

Well, I think that if you are brave enough to pose on the cover of a national magazine while breast feeding you should get the top spot, so here is Angelina Jolie doing just that.

George Clooney. Definitely not breast feeding. Well, at least not in this photo.

First time appearance for Charlie Hunnam and Ron Perlman, but definitely not so for Katey Sagal.
Yeah Carmen. That's the way we felt when we saw Disaster Movie. So, when are you going to announce your pregnancy, or did she? I can't keep up.
Beverley Knight - London
Buckethead - Asbury Park, NJ
Just because it has been awhile since I had Lindsay Lohan alone in the photos.

You might not like her music, but I always love the way Katy Perry dresses.
Like the world needs a 60 foot high billboard of Jennifer Lopez. Lucky for us it is only in Tokyo.
Some art of John Lennon on display in New York.
I don't think I have ever had Jennifer Garner and Liv Tyler in the same photo. Throw in Summer Phoenix and you have a winner.

I will always love Samantha Mathis because I loved Pump Up The Volume.

Apparently when Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't want to do her hair, the whole damn family doesn't get to do their hair.
Xenu Cereal coming to a store near you. Yes, I know it is pudding, but the cereal thing works better.
I love these posed photos in the park.
Michael Chiklis. Totally unappreciated in my opinion.

Let's Talk Dean


For those of you who are in Canada, or those of you who read Lainey, then this will all be a refresher probably, so feel free to go ahead and look at some FFF, or contemplate what life would be like as we know it on this planet if Holly Madison and Verne Troyer hooked up. OK now that you have that to play around with and your brain is sufficiently horrified, lets move on to Dean. This would be Dean Spelling. Oh, I know he has his own last name, but lets face it, no one knows him except as Tori's wife, and no one will ever know him as anything but Tori's wife.

I did end up watching five or six episodes of the show this past season. It was fairly annoying, but hell, I mean there are not many reality shows that are not a little annoying. I will say that if that whole "maverick" drinking game doesn't work out for you, that you could play using the word "mama" when you watch that show.

Anyway, I was having a lovely discussion the other day with my lovely best friend, and when I wasn't trying to get a little look see or eating something, she informed me about Dean's ex wife. Now, I knew Dean had been with someone previously because he has a son, and so it figures that unless there is some kind of Xenu magic going on, that he had been with someone. What I didn't know, because I didn't look is that Dean also has an adopted daughter. I know, I know. If you are like me and only watch the show, you would have no idea he had anything other than a son who he misses and loves and hasn't seen in a year and blah, blah. The Tori says he is the greatest dad ever and we go throw up dinner.

Well, it turns out that Dean and the ex had adopted a baby girl about three weeks before he split up to go be with Tori. That's right, but he refuses to acknowledge the girl as his own despite that fact that he signed the adoption papers. Apparently he must think that the only way it counts is if you have sex. Well, asshole it doesn't. Just because you are not sticking it in does not mean it is not the same commitment and responsibility. Maybe Tori believes your little half truths but the rest of the world doesn't. A kid is a kid is a kid, and that girl is yours. Well, it has been a couple of years now so she probably doesn't want anything to do with you anyway, but think about that little girl growing up and seeing her brother getting all this fake love from dad while she gets nothing but a shoulder. WTF is that? Everyone knows the only reason you are with Tori is money. Money, money, money. I'm sure your beady little eyes are just counting down the days till Candy keels over.
Like I said, I know many of you have read this before, but it absolutely made me sick when I heard about it and it just pissed me off so much because I have watched the show and it is like if he doesn't mention the fact there is a daughter, she doesn't exist. And Tori? What the hell is your excuse for allowing that behavior? What if your dad had done the same thing to you? Think about that little girl when you are holding yours.

If You Are In Los Angeles Or...

If you are in Los Angeles or can be in Los Angeles next Friday night October 17th, I would love to have you attend the official wrap party for LA Fashion Week and of course write about it as well. Oh, and photos. Need photos. So, a camera other than your cell phone would be good. I think it is a party and a fashion show and I'm sure there will be booze. It is probably bring your own coke, but if you forget, you can probably find some there. Send me an e-mail if you are interested.

Eva Takes Out Her Claws


Eva Mendes apparently doesn't think much of Jennifer Lopez as an actress and is not shy about letting the world know it. While she thinks Jennifer does a little of this and a little of that, Eva is busy concentrating on being the best actress around.

Eva says that she actually cares about the craft of acting, while Jennifer is more concerned about the craft service. No, she didn't say that, but she did say that Jennifer cares more for the money and perks that go with being an actress than the actual craft of acting itself.

"I would like to think I will have a more serious career than J.Lo. We may both be of Latin origin but that’s where the comparisons stop. She manages her career like the head of a big corporation, whereas the only thing I care about is becoming the best actress possible."

Of course, Eva says this probably with a nice piece of hypocrisy in her mouth because, if I'm not mistaken hasn't Eva been everywhere lately doing all that CK stuff? Not exactly about the profession of acting, but more trying to make a name for yourself and getting as much money in your hands as fast as possible. Plus, she could have made the photos less wild, but then the attendant publicity would not have been there. While I admit that Eva is a better actress than Jennifer, I would also admit that anyone who has memorized any lines to their favorite television show or film is a better actress than Jennifer.

And why all the animosity Eva? Why the harsh words? See, I think it is because she needs attention. You don't have to say these kinds of things in an interview. You generally say them if you are just a very blunt person which Eva can be, but not always, or you are saying them for shock and attention which is the more likely scenario. Don't worry Eva, Jennifer isn't going to take that new role away that you both are up for. In fact, I don't think it will be either of you, but that is just me. What the hell do I know?

Do You Blame Him?


According to the folks over at The Enquirer who, in my opinion blew the Jamie Lynn Spears story, but who I still have great affection for are reporting that Avril Lavigne and her husband Deryck Whibley are dunzo. Is that word? When did it become appropriate to put z's in the place of the letter s all the time. I'm really waiting for that day when the US starts spelling boys, as "boyz." Anyway, apparently Deryck sobered up or got off his meds or something because he realized that maybe he and Avril are not right for each other. Is she ever right for anyone at anytime?

The Enquirer says he is partying too much because his career is for crap. Well, her career is not exactly rolling along either. I don't know how many more years she can get away with those tweener bubble gum pop songs of hers, but whatever. The Enquirer also said that Deryck had been spotted a club holding some woman's hand. Yep, that is a sure sign of infidelity and a breakup in a marriage. The hand holding. That's why no one wanted to do Hands Across America.

With Avril gone on a world tour, Deryck had no one to turn to except his friends and a bottle. Hey, that sounds like my life. Lucky for Deryck, Avril Lavigne has money so he probably won't have to move back home and live in the basement with his parents. Oh, and update on that. Moving out soon. Yep, and it isn't a halfway house or anything. It actually as a four walls and, gasp, windows.

Yeah, It's Her Fault


Peter Cook went on 20/20 to talk to Barbara Walters so people wouldn't think he is the big ass he was portrayed being in the trial. Umm, didn't work out quite like he planned. Now he looks like an even bigger ass because he blames his cheating on Christie Brinkley. Yeah, yeah she wasn't giving him what he wanted on the home front so he went out and found some 18 year old girl to get it from and spent $50,000 a year on porn because all of those videos and web cam girls were giving him what she wouldn't.

This is such the biggest crock. Look, I've been married six times. I have heard everything before. There is no excuse for cheating . None. I don't care if your spouse starts playing for the other team or is cheating on your right and left. There is no excuse. If you are unhappy and not getting what you want from the relationship, then leave. Don't stick around pretending you love and care for someone, while taking all their money and cheat with someone else on the side. It just doesn't work that way. I doubt you could ever give me a reason in which it is ok to cheat. In this case Peter probably didn't even ever address his "needs" with Christie. There was probably no communication. He was really happy to just keep taking and taking while he was getting what he wanted on the side. I hate that. I bet if you asked him right now he would say he never talked to her about the way he was feeling. This is what he told Barbara.

"I was seeking a connection I could not find in my own marriage. I think the emotional aspect of our lives had changed. I think we were both feeling more like we were living with a brother and sister than a life partner."

"I wanted a little acknowledgment, a little attention, a little thank you every now and then for my efforts, for the amount of time I took to care for her and my family, for the wealth I was building."

Well, I don't know how much wealth he was building because to me it seems like he spent all on porn and teenagers. I could be wrong though. And, if it were more of a brother sister thing, then would you disrespect your sister like that? Hurt her and cause her pain? All he was doing and is doing is thinking of himself.

It's A Setup


So, I'm sure you probably have heard by now that Gerard Butler isn't afraid to go a little 300 on some people, especially a pap who is following him. On Tuesday morning, Gerard allegedly had his limo driver pull over, went to the pap who was following him and then allegedly punched him in the face. Nice. Anyway, the photographer filed a police report at like 2 in the morning, BUT before filing the police report allegedly called a lawyer. This smells like a setup and that is what witnesses told TMZ. They said the photographer had basically been stalking Butler all night and probably didn't get a shot he wanted and so was following him in his car as well. Butler apparently had enough.

The sad thing is here that although criminal charges probably won't be filed against Gerard he probably will have to cough up some dough to this guy. The guy also probably got some money for the photo of him with the spilt lip. So for about 10 seconds of beating he probably is looking at $50,000 or so. It is pretty disgusting when you think about it. I have never really felt that provocation was needed. Most celebrities will go ahead and do something stupid without any additional assistance or interference on the part of the photographers. To me it just shows no class and desperation to make a quick buck,

Yeah You Do Your Own Thing


Guess what? Mischa Barton thinks she is more stylish than Victoria Beckham. Look, I am not the biggest fan of Victoria in the world, but I will admit she takes some chances on some outfits and definitely has a style that she has made all her own. Mischa on the other hand seems to have chosen the style that says, "I really should turn on the lights while getting dressed."

"I don't dress for anybody else, and I think the reason people like my style is that I do my own thing."

Umm, a show of hands from people who like Mischa Barton's style. Yeah, Olsen twins you can put them down because no one is going to listen to your fashion thoughts anyway. Mischa is perhaps one of the worst dressed people I have ever seen. Sure, when someone decides to throw her a bone and give her a free dress she looks ok, but when she does her own thing as she says, we get a lot of stuff from garage sales and a smattering of headbands that Sienna Miller threw in her trash. Oh, and while we are it Miss Barton. You know how you said that you were sober now and didn't drink. Well, yeah, you have been in the blind items before for your continued drinking and going to a party and getting drunk off your ass on vodka shots isn't exactly being sober now is it? While you were slamming them back were you telling people that same crap story?

It Would Have Been Hard To Tuck It Under


Apparently Brooke Hogan decided that she has a chance at a career. Well, at least her agent must be really good to convince her of that. For some reason which was probably the amount of money being offered, Brooke Hogan turned down the opportunity to pose nude in Playboy thus depriving millions of tranny fans from seeing their hero in the buff. Her publicist said, "Brooke just didn’t feel that it was the right time. It's not out of the question for the future, but we'll have to see."

What that PR mumbo jumbo translates to is that Brooke wanted more than $39.64 to take her clothes off. Hell, she spends more than that each day on self-tanner, and besides, she's daddy's little girl, and he doesn't like sharing. I think that holding out for more money is probably not her best option. She is at the peak of her fifteen minutes right now and there really is no place for her to go but down. What does she think she is going to do for the next 20 years or so? Does she really think she is going to be an actress or singer? Does she think she can milk 20 years of reality programming out of her life? No one gives a crap about her or Playboy would have offered her more money. Hell, Playboy makes offers to people everyday which are routinely turned down. You just don't hear about them because those celebrities are not desperate enough for publicity that they have to make a statement to that effect.

And You Thought Woody Allen Was Bad

So, I have had this story for about a year. I got it at the same time as what turned out to be Timmy/Shimmy. I can tell you that the person who gave me all my great classic Hollywood stories passed away within the last year, but he did manage to pass along a few more before he passed. A great man who will be missed a bunch, but his stories live on.

For this one, we need to start way back. Even really before classic Hollywood. Hell when this started there really wasn't a Hollywood yet. This is about an A list actress for almost all of her career. Acting was what she was most famous for, but she was probably better at other things. Academy Award winner? Nope. She was in a nominated film or two though.

When our actress was still a very young teenager, she got pregnant by a man. Some say that the father of the baby was a man she later married, while others think she may have got pregnant by a relative. In any event, the fact is that the person who impregnated her was unable or unwilling to marry her at that time. She gave birth to a boy and gave the boy up for adoption.

The years pass and our actress grows into a fine woman, and starts to make a name for herself. Finally she ends up in Hollywood. It isn't where she was planning on going necessarily, but when she finally made it there, she made it really, really big.

Now, although there wasn't really open adoption back when she gave up her child, there was what was called family adoption. In this case, our actress who had a cousin who was of suitable age to have children, already had one or two of her own with her husband so took the infant in, and raised it as their own. This was not a particularly close cousin. Maybe a 2nd or so, but even 2nd cousins want their share of fame by being close to a famous relative and so the whole family always wanted a piece of our actress. At some point, the son of our actress came out to Hollywood. He didn't know he was her son. All he knew was that he had a cousin or an aunt or someone who he saw in the movie theatre each week and thought maybe she could give him a job.

Well he was a good looking guy and our actress said she could probably help him out when he showed up out of the blue one day and landed on her doorstep. At the time he showed up, she was in between marriages. Kind of. When he explained who he was, she knew it was her son. The thing is, she decided not to inform him of this face and apparently the three or four people who also knew, chose to not inform him either.

Our actress always had men with her. Always helping her out or running errands. She was never without some kind of company for flirtation. Well one day, apparently things got a little carried away in the flirtation department and our actress and her son ended up rolling around in the sack. It was the first time, but not the last. It went on for about six months. Not everyday, but a few times a week.

She never told him how she was related to him. What she did though was at some point get a conscience or got guilt and she set him up with some extra from some film she was working and she was one hell of a matchmaker because the couple fell in love and moved back to where our actress was from. It is somewhere in that time frame, that her son either told someone in his family, OR, he told the extra he married and she passed it along to someone in the family. Apparently only one person in the family found out. That person confronted the actress who admitted it, but begged that it be kept quiet. No one would have printed anything anyway, but she still wanted it kept quiet. On the home front it was kept quiet. But, over the years, as our actress aged, she would be telling stories of men she had been with and every once in awhile would let it slip out that she had a very illicit affair. There are probably a handful of people she told the story to, and one of them was the man who told it to me.

Random Photos Part One

I think this is the first time that Jon Stewart has been in the photos. He just never goes anywhere. So, to make up for all this lost time, he gets the top spot.
Amos Lee - New York
Anika Moa - Auckland, NZ
Umm, Gina Gershon has looked like she has been on a week long bender everytime I have seen her photo lately.

Wow, Eva Longoria must have gone to Wigs -R - Us to find a wig of such quality. It's like she called my grandmother and borrowed one.
I know this is probably not a G rated question, but do you think that Ben Stiller ever asks Christine Taylor to pretend she is Marcia and Ben plays Jan? I don't know who Ben would play.
First time appearance for Bart Johnson.
Not the first time for Benicio del Toro obviously, but be glad there was not a closeup, because Benicio looked as if he had not had any sleep for a few weeks and done nothing but smoke cigarettes during that time.

I thought Jamie Oliver was supposed to be the happy one. Why is he always forcing a smile.
Love the randomness and love that smirk on Kimmel.
Bet you didn't recognize Jules Asner. She leaves E! and the next thing you know she is filling out that AARP card. Goodness what happened to her.
Want something to like about Hayden? She brings pastries when she visits. I've got liquor. What I don't have is people who bring over pastries.
Hugh Laurie on his favorite mode of transportation. I know his wife finally decided to move to LA, but I don't know if she has or not. Sidecar time perhaps.

OK, here we go. We have lots of choices for Nick Cannon's birthday.
1. Mariah to Nick - "OK baby. No tongue. You got some last week."
2. Mariah to Nick - "Happy birthday baby. Where is my gift?"
3. Mariah to Nick - "Guess what? Tonight you don't have to scrape my corns?"
4. Mariah to Nick - "OK, one kiss and now get back to work because I am not paying for this party."

Remember Al Gore and the way he looked in 2000?
Lewis Hamilton looks so much better when he doesn't have Nicole Scherzinger hanging all over him.
Jerry Stiller looks great. If you have never seen Hot Pursuit, you need to. Jerry, Ben, Richard Crenna and of course John Cusack.
You have to admit that Jeremy Piven knows how to dress.

Hey, I have an idea. These guys should get together and make a tv show.


Apparently the whole scissor finger has different looks around the world. This is Italy.
And New Zealand.
And France.
First time appearance for Oscar Isaacs.

Tara Reid is now three for three and dare I say it, looks sober and healthy.

Sofia Milos is the reason I watched Caroline In The City. OK, Lea too.
Stephen Dorff is aging well. Botox?
And my mom said I would only get hair on my palms.

NY Post Blind Items

WHICH wife of a rock superstar has been punishing him for going to strip clubs without her? The spouse has spent about $30 million on a house they don't really need to get back at him for not including her in his adventures . . .

WHICH boy-band member is going to shock his female fans when he comes out of the closet?

"Alex. Could I Get An Original Idea For $200?"



I promise this post is not going to be about Jennifer Aniston. Yes, I know her publicity people want it to be about her which is why the damn story came out, but instead I am going to make it about how no one in Hollywood wants to take any kind of chance anymore. There are stories floating around courtesy of the Aniston camp that there is a script and plans for a sequel to The Break Up. The first film which was a disaster critically and in the money making pile like all of Jennifer's films obviously was not torture enough for the audiences of the world.

One question. Why? If you need to make some stupid comedy, there has to be a better script out there somewhere. I mean writers all over the world are just cranking stuff out everyday and this is all that managed to rise to the top? Is there really nothing else left that you are going to make a sequel to a film which no one managed to see the first time around. Oh, and you know what Jen's salary for the film is going to be? $20M with Vince Vaughn due to make much less. Why? At least Vince has been in some successful films. What the hell has Jen ever done except annoy the hell out of me.

Of course they threw this story out there to show that Jen can get the big bucks, they ran out of guys to pretend she was dating so this would get tongues wagging again and to show that she is a bigger star than Vince. Umm, yeah. Right. It also shows her team has no creativity. Why didn't they just say she was going to make a comedy with Vince instead of trying to sell us this. What it shows me is there is nothing out there for her and so they said pick a sequel. Well, then if there is going to be a sequel to one of her films, then why couldn't they pick Office Space to tease us with? At least people would go see that and we would talk about it. Of course if we did that, she would be overshadowed by the fact it was a good film and she didn't sleep with a co-star in that one. Nope, it always has to be about her, and definitely nothing else.

I Don't Understand


Queen Latifah, who I again have to say I adore, kind of screws up what I think she wanted to say. Or at least I think she screwed it up or maybe she is playing with our minds. I know, I am confused though. In an interview with New York Times Magazine, Queen was asked about all the gay rumors that surround her. She said she doesn't care what people say about her because people are going to assume whatever they want to anyway. I like that kind of attitude because it just means someone like me can write pretty much anything and she isn't going to do jack about it.

I, of course would never be mean, but I don't understand this quote, so maybe you can all take a crack at it. "I don't have a problem discussing the topic of somebody being gay, but I do have a problem discussing my personal life."

So, if I am reading this right, which is highly doubtful, because in case I haven't told you before, I drink too much and sometimes the words kind of all fuzz together, she basically is willing to gossip about everyone in the world and guess whether they are gay or not. She just isn't willing to play the same game with herself. Well that seems kind of unfair. If you are willing to discuss whether another person is gay or not, you should also be willing to discuss whether you are gay or not. I don't really care if she is or isn't, I just find it a little hypocritical that she is perfectly willing to speculate and assume about others but is not willing to participate in the same topic of conversation once the subject person is her.

Shouldn't she just say, some things are better left private and I wouldn't do it to others, because I wouldn't do it to myself. Not that she is doing herself because that takes us into a whole other realm of blogging that I really don't want to do. I mean I guess I could, but I think Holly Madison is going to need some kind of career now that she dumped Hef and so I thought I would leave her something to do.

Rob Lowe And David Crosby?


In a declaration filed in the Rob Lowe nanny debacle, David Crosby said that while he was vacationing with the Lowe's in Hawaii, Rob's nanny Laura Boyce made it clear that she only like dating back guys because they had huge peen. Whatever. I think she was trying to shock the old man, and don't see how it has any relevance to what Rob allegedly did or did not do to the nanny.

The thing I find freaky as hell is that Rob Lowe is vacationing with David Crosby. If that isn't the weirdest combination since Chinese and Mexican restaurants started joining forces than I don't know what is. Although, I must admit there is something kind of cool about going to a Chinese place for lunch and getting a bowl of chips and salsa before sitting down to some moo shoo pork and chicken enchiladas. Yeah, yeah, you just wish you were eating it right now.

How in the hell do Rob Lowe and David Crosby decide to vacation together and how does the subject of genitalia even come up? You know, you are sitting around the dinner table and one thing leads to another and you start talking about size? And you do it with a guy who is old enough to be your grandfather? I don't know what happened in all this, but I think it is pretty damn strange that every declaration I have seen in this case, someone is always talking about sex or size or the number of boyfriends and girlfriends each party has. Whatever happened to just moaning about sunburn and how come sunscreen costs $36 a bottle when you are on vacation or how the timeshare deal didn't really seem like such a bad deal.

Super Mooch


Only Kneepads Magazine could turn a story like this into something positive and uplifting. In an interview with People, Derek Hough shows that he has learned a great deal from his sister about the art of mooching. I'm pretty used to seeing guys exploiting the hell out of their situation and living with an actress who has a great deal more money. Hell, it happens, and women do the same thing, but honestly Derek has taken it to an entirely new level. Not only did he convince Shannon Elizabeth to let him live with her, he also convinced her to let Mark Ballas live in the house and all of the members of his band live there as well. This is despite the fact that Derek and Mark already have an apartment they are renting each month. Apparently Derek talked Shannon out of having anyone ever move out by saying he would miss them if they were all gone.

People thinks this is just one joyous kumbaya commune thing, when to me it just seems like the guy is taking advantage of the situation. Sure, Shannon agreed, but maybe since he is like 16 years old he should try and learn how to live on his own for awhile. To me, Shannon is literally old enough to be his mother, and maybe along with her four dogs this is her way of being maternal. Hell, I don't know. I do know that Shannon is the only woman in the house with five guys which must make for a real interesting time when they sit around watching American Pie together each night. Oh, you know they do.

Mooshki - Movie Review - Body Of Lies


In case any viewers are too dense to figure out the theme of this movie, Russell Crowe’s character is kind enough to spell it out twice: “Nobody’s innocent in this shit.” There’s already buzz on IMDB about how the film is “anti-American.” It’s true, it’s very critical of our methods and ethics of warfare, but it certainly isn’t saying anybody else is any better than us. As an example of how it’s an equal-opportunity offender, the main actress of the film, Golshifteh Farahani, is now an exile from Iran for fear of being arrested for playing this part.

Leonardo DiCaprio is a CIA agent working in the Middle East. He’s brilliant and talented, and apparently the only person making any progress in the war on terror. Crowe seems to be in charge of all CIA operations relating to global terrorism. (I can see why Scott wanted him to not look physically fit for this role, but I don’t think he should’ve made the poor guy gain so much extra weight - I think 20 pounds would’ve made the point as well as the 50 he had to put on.) He is completely amoral, willing to do whatever it takes to win. It’s not clear what winning entails, but as far as I could tell, the plan seems to be to keep beating down the terrorists until the Middle East runs out of oil money to keep them going.
A new player, Al-Saleem, has begun terrorist attacks in Europe (why did he have to pick on poor Amsterdam?!), and has threatened to bring them to America next. Leo’s job is to try to track him down and/or stop the attacks. The film is a series of convoluted operations spying on/attacking terrorists and their safe houses throughout the Middle East.

A lot of the action takes place in Amman, Jordan. Leo enlists the head of Jordanian covert ops, Hani Salaam (played by Mark Strong - a serious hottie who reminded me of a young Andy Garcia; I will definitely keep an eye out for him in the future). Hani is only willing to help Leo if he plays by his rules. Leo is fine with that, but Crowe won’t compromise his own agenda or authority, so Leo has to balance his trust and loyalty between the two. And of course, between what they represent - America and the Middle East (the differences between the many Middle Eastern countries are negligible in the movie, so it has a regional identity rather than any national one).

There are plans, there are counter-plans, there are lies and betrayals, people get tortured, people get killed, things blow up (it is a Ridley Scott film, after all). Along the way, Leo falls for a beautiful Iranian nurse (Farahani) who gives him rabies shots. (Dog bites are just one of a multitude of injuries Leo suffers along the way.) Halfway through my friend asked me “Does this movie have a plot?” My response: “No.” The situations in the movie are all meant to illustrate the theme - war is hell, and there are no good guys. Even though it’s obviously set amid current events, it felt more like a theoretical dramatic exercise rather than something that would actually be taking place.

This is an action-filled movie, and despite my first sentence, you do have to pay close attention to follow what’s going on. It was about 15 minutes too long, but for the most part it was fast-paced and held my interest. After a summer filled with, in my opinion, a lot of really good-quality action films, it was a little jarring to see one with such a serious tone. Overall I’d say it’s a good entry in the action/war/spy genre. (Warning, it deserves the R-rating for many scenes of violence and torture.) On the DN scale, I’d pay $5-6 to see it.

Think Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian are the only ones with NFL boyfriends? Well, I think you are forgetting about one very important C+ actor on a hit network drama who leaves his wife and kids every weekend to go cheer on his boyfriend who is on an NFL west coast team.

At Least She Isn't Cooking


With the announcement today by Paris Hilton that she is an amazing cook, and that she never goes out anymore unless it is work related, it has become official. Every celebrity now cooks, is a stay at home kind of person and the people we see out every night are just figments of our imagination. So, instead of becoming one of the herd, Kirsten Dunst decided to go a different route. Incredulity. Apparently she is writing her very own musical. She gave an interview and had this to say about it.

"I started to write a musical a few years ago and I'm going to get back into writing it. But I'm not going to say what it's about though."

Umm, she probably isn't saying anything about it because she has no idea what it is about. The idea to say something probably occurred to her during the interview when she realized she had nothing of any great importance to say, and that no one really cares what she has to say. Knowing that she doesn't even know how to microwave popcorn she couldn't go the whole cooking route and so decided to go out so far on the ledge of disbelief that entire countries took time out from their financial problems to take a moment to laugh. I believe this is the same Kirsten Dunst who once said she didn't play an instrument, didn't really know anything about music and certainly doesn't know how to read music.

It is going to be pretty tough for someone to read her music when it says things like, "hmm, hum,..boom, bam" in a bouncy beat. "Give me a C, a bouncy C." Man I miss Phil Hartman. Anyway, she probably did go see a musical when she was 12 and decided she could write one and so wanted to go ahead and throw that out there so the world would think she has some kind of skill other than Spiderman's girlfriend. What I think every interviewer of Kirsten should do from now on is always ask her how that musical is coming. Every time she walks a red carpet ask her how much longer it will be. Just really make her put up or shut up.

See, I wish Ellen had done that with Paris Hilton. She let Paris just get away with saying she makes these large amazing meals, but I don't think she asked any followup questions like what she cooks, or what temperatures she cooks them at, or what she cooks best. I know talk shows depend on celebrities for ratings, but would it kill someone to ask a followup question? Just one. Maybe then, they would actually think before opening their mouth.

Lainey Blind Item

It’s easy but it’s not hard
Caution right off the top – if you’re the prudey type, some details here are not for you. Click away or hold your peace. Don’t be emailing me with a lewd complaint since you were given ample warning.

Celebrities are surrounded all the time by beautiful women. Especially him. He boasts an impressive track record, minus one infection, and so you would think, for a regular, non famous girl, even a really, really beautiful non famous girl, it would be an insurmountable obstacle to catch his eye…right?

Not so.

But just because it’s easy to attract him doesn’t mean it’s easy to … pleasure him. Turns out his libido doesn’t quite match up to the legend. And his prowess isn’t exactly the smoothest either. SO disappointing.

She and her girlfriends found him at a club in Vegas recently. Danced in front of his booth and eventually caught his eye. He sent over the bodyguard, they were invited to join, and soon everyone ended up in his suite, even though he’s supposed to have a sexy steady. On this night however he was playing single.

First he asked his evening’s target to give him a massage. She obliged. Eventually they ended up alone in his room. Making out turned to sex. He used a condom and went through the conventional motions. Highly unimaginative and even a little… gross?

Apparently our superstar superstud releases the most unpleasant sound effects. Grunts and groans and straight up no rhythm pounding, making it clear that without a cinematographer and a world class director, he isn’t exactly the undercover loverboy we all believed he was.

Like, no moves whatsoever.

Needless to say, his lame technique wasn’t getting him anywhere, so in relief he asked her to fondle his boys instead. By boys I mean balls. A gorgeous, willing girl in his bed, game for anything… and in the end he could only finish in his own hand in front of her.

Too much champagne, I guess. But still… dude… if this is how you stray, you might need to work on your alcohol to erection ratio. This kind of thing is an embarrassment.

When In Doubt Reach Out


Those are some very strong words in that headline. Unfortunately they came a little too late for former Australian Idol singer Levi Keremea who took his own life in Brisbane last night by falling from a hotel balcony. Levi finished sixth on the first year of Australian Idol but was actually really popular with the group he was in composed of his brothers and called Lethbridge.

On one of the Facebook memorial sites set up for him after his death, a lot of the messages talked about how he had been depressed recently and could not seem to pull out of it. In response, someone posted the headline that I used here. Last month a popular Australian television actor also committed suicide by falling off a hotel balcony because he too was suffering from depression.

I'm not a doctor, obviously, and I don't even play one on tv, so I don't know about clinical depression or anything like that. I do know though that just going through something in life can leave someone in a funk or depressed and you often don't see a way out. At that point, you just need to find anyone you can to talk to. It is amazing how restorative even a few words from someone can be, whether they are about you or the weather. Sometimes it is just that one on one which can start the process. Also, if your friends seem lethargic or out of it for no reason or if you do know a reason, take some time to give them a call before you read this site. Depression happens to almost everyone at some point in their lives. Obviously as we have seen in the past month in Australia it happens even to people who have a great deal to live for and who we probably never would suspect are depressed. When in doubt, reach out.

Misty May You Can't Do This To Me


Remember how happy the world seemed last week? The extra bounce in the step of people? The smiles were a little wider, and the birds were chirping a little louder. Everyone was in a good mood and it was all because Kim Kardashian had been eliminated from DWTS. Now, it looks like she might be coming back. I know, I know, I have tried to smile since I heard the news and can't. I can't turn that damn frown upside down. I even thought about my all-time favorite scene in a movie that always makes me laugh. Nothing. Kim Kardashian has ruined a perfectly good week. Personally I think she did a Gillooly on Misty May Treanor. She knew that she needed to get someone out this week if she was going to have a chance to get back in.

Hell, when they talked to Kim this weekend, she was practically screaming at the reporter to see if they had any news about when she could expect a phone call from the producers. She is desperate to do anything to get back on that show. Hell she even flew to New Orleans to see Reggie just because she knew the game would be on national television and so she would get her face shown. Think that wasn't a reason? Why don't you add up all the other games she has been to this season that weren't on national television. No wonder Reggie is never going to marry her. OK, maybe he might but he is still going to cheat every chance he gets. Wouldn't you? You've seen the porn tape. You've seen the attitude. Do you really want that for the rest of your life if you are Reggie Bush?

So, our only hope America rests with Misty May. Maybe she can pull through. Without her, expect winter to set in next week and last until July, or whenever Kardashian gets eliminated again.

Johnny Depp But No One Else


Yes, yes, I know all of you love Johnny Depp and would like nothing more than to keep him prisoner in your house until, well forever. Well, you may not be able to have Johnny because he is going to be picking up a guaranteed $64M for filming the next installment of Pirates. That eclipses Tom Hanks who had the previous record of $58M. Chump change. The amount for Depp does not include any other points he gets from the success of the film. While I certainly cannot argue that he deserves the money, there are some things worth noting.

Because he is getting paid so much money, there will be no Orlando Bloom and no Keira Knightley in the film. The studio simply can't afford to pay them and pay Johnny Depp as well. See, now if I'm Johnny's agent I say f**k it, he deserves the money. If I'm Johnny though, I'm wondering if the movie tanks because there is no one in it but me for the most part, will I ever get this kind of money again? What Johnny should do is reduce that salary by about $10-15M and get the other two back in the film as well.

Sequels can be great. When sequels suck is when the entire cast has disappeared except for one or two people. It just isn't the same. There is not the same interaction or chemistry. Hello? Smokey And The Bandit 3. Hello? Apollo 14 - Dogs In Space. Johnny Depp is the key behind the films, but maybe a lot of that has to do with who he is playing off in his scenes. If the film just has him and a monkey is everyone going to enjoy that?

Ab Fab Part 6


At some point you just have to admit defeat. There are just some shows that don't copy well from one country to the other. Case in point, The Young Ones. Can you imagine ever seeing that show on US television? It would suck balls. It is classicly British and works best like that. Just enjoy it for what it is and don't try and f**k with it. The Office on the other hand is something that everyone knows in every country of the world. Hell, there probably is an Indian version of The Office airing right now for all I know. It will work anywhere.


For at least the 5th time, maybe the sixth depending on how you count. I know, I know, 1, 2, 3. Whatever. Fox is going to take a shot at redoing Absolutely Fabulous. Notice I said the word redoing. It is not going to be a direct copy. It also won't work. Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley were just a pair that cannot be found again. Networks have tried it here again and again and it just won't work because no one will go edgy enough or take enough chances. Maybe, maybe FOX can do it because they do like taking some chances, but this is a show that needs to be on one of the cable networks or even like HBO or Showtime. Someplace where people can just let loose.


Everyone will take a look and what it will be will be two women who are blah and bland and with no spark and no life. What FOX should do is try and talk the two women out of retirement, set them up for about a year and see how many episodes they can crank out.


So He's A No Talent, Mullet Wearing, Ambiguous Guy?


Let me ask you something seriously as a parent. Would you let your 15 year old daughter date a 20 year old guy? Would you let them date knowing if they had sex that the 20 year old was going to jail? Does that give you pause? 15 years old can be like a high school sophomore or something like that, and a 20 year old can be a college junior. Now, I'm not an idiot. I know it happens, and I also know 5 years is not a huge age difference. But, it is a huge age difference at that age with wildly different expectations and demands.

So, I really have a problem with the whole Miley Cyrus romance with Justin Gaston. More of a problem with the way her dad looks like he wouldn't mind a little one on one action with Justin also.

Billy Ray Cyrus told Access Hollywood that, “He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20 years old and I was living and searching for the dream.” Well, first of all Justin already found his dream. A rich girl with willing parents. As for when Billy Ray was 20, I hope Justin never decides to start sporting a mullet, actually has a career that lasts longer than five minutes and hopefully can decide if he enjoys the company of men or women at some point.

The whole thing just creeps me out. The whole family just creeps me out and maybe I am overreacting. You tell me. Right or wrong and would you let your kids do it?

This Is Crack To Me

I actually counted the receipt and there were 24 boxes of crackers. Of the 24, there were four of these. Gone within the first two hours. If Nabisco would like to discuss some kind of arrangement where they can feed me these intravenously, then I would be happy to rename the blog to Crazy Days And Nights Brought To You By Chicken In A Biskit.


Today's Blind Items

I figure if I actually write it down, then it will force me to finish writing it. Therefore, on Wednesday there will be a long blind item from classic Hollywood which should blow your mind. Not literally blow it, because that would be messy for your fellow co-workers and think of the cleaning crew. Although they would probably get some overtime and that really isn't a bad thing right now is it? Of course, since your office probably hired a cleaning company who sub-contracted it out to another firm, they are probably using undocumented workers who don't get overtime and if they file any actions, they will be deported, so maybe blowing your mind is not a good thing. Anyway, here is the item for today.

First time ever in the blind items for this intellectual B list actor. I say intellectual because he seems like he has a brain, and he has made a career of films in which a person actually has to think. Kind of like the Parker Posey for actors, but younger. Well, our actor had to take about a six month mandatory break from filming because he could not get insured. Though he has managed to stay out of the headlines, his problems are very Lindsay Lohanish minus the family drama. During his last film, he did so much coke that he had to get his nose repaired. Because of this, before any insurance company would back him, they wanted him to go to rehab which he did for three months. He also has to submit to weekly drug screening as a condition to being insured.

Random Photos Part One

I think it is probably sacrilegious or something like that to not put the Muppets first, especially when they are getting out the vote. We will set aside the fact that the demographic for The Muppets will probably not be able to cast a vote until the 2024 Presidential election, but hey, way to get them started young.
What the hell is Brad Pitt wearing?
"So, I saw her and I said Clint, because I call myself Clint when I'm talking to myself. I said Clint, I could take her from that pansy Brad Pitt."
She looks whacked out of her mind doesn't she? It is like Jennifer Lopez times 10. I love Angelina. I really do, but in these photos and the ones she had in a press conference today, she doesn't look 100%.
I have yet to receive a complaint from anyone regarding the number of times Christopher Meloni has appeared in the photos.

I think he just pretends to like the dog.
Yes, it's Aubrey O'Day. Photo agencies typically package an event by putting the biggest star in the cover photo so that way you know if it is worth your time. For the premiere of Body Of Lies they put Aubrey O'Day first.
Ahead of Leo and Russell
and RFK Jr. and the President of Warner Brothers. Now, I don't know who she slept with to get the top spot, but Aubrey O'Day is thisclose to being gone from our collective consciousness very soon.
Enrique Iglesias - East Rutherford, NJ

Deborah Gibson has finally given up on a music career and is going to marry some Amish dude she met online. I know, I know. When they find out he used a computer and all he could get was Debbie Gibson he will be shunned for sure.
David Alan Grier is now, not only an actor, but a curator. That is pretty high living for a guy who was in a Pauly Shore movie.
Candy Spelling, because hey I show her daughter enough. She looks pretty good huh?
Would someone like to take the time to explain what fashion statement Coldplay is actually shooting for? Some kind of Michael Jackson 80's/Boyz II Men hybrid?
Well I hope they got closer than this on their wedding night.


The looks like twins married couple of the day award goes to Gabriel Macht and Jacinda Barrett.
I believe this is Grace Jones.
Flower Travellin' Band - Tokyo
I must admit that I love Travis, and Fran Healy.

Kimberly Stewart has made quite the transformation over the past year. Now, if she just had a career.


Hello Kelly Lynch.
Hello Laura Dern. Not as much as Kelly, but still. Hello.
So, who would you rather do? John Stamos or George Clooney?
I love Jane Krakowski, but the teeth are becoming larger and larger each time I see her.
Rob Estes should be the one to kill all the kids off on 90210.

Holy crap it's Adam Ant.


Anne Doesn't Know Brody


I'm not sure exactly who Anne Hathaway has as friends. I mean, I guess she must have some that don't actually work for her or owe her something which causes them to be friends. But, in an interview she started discussing the fact that her friends read the tabloids and then are calling her up and asking her about all the people she is allegedly dating.

"I don't look at gossip magazines and websites, but my friends do and they call me out of the blue and ask me if I'm dating someone.

So, are you saying you are better than your "friends" because they happen to love some good gossip and you don't? If they are your friends, you would think they would know who you are dating or if you have dated someone. I don't know. Anne just doesn't seem like the person who has lots of friends who are calling her. I think she has a couple of people she usually ignores, but if she is feeling lonely she might pick up the phone. She just doesn't seem the type to just talk about the opposite sex, or in her case, the same sex with any of her friends.

"Apparently I've dated Josh Lucas, Brody Jenner - I didn't know who he was - and of course there's the rumour that I'm dating Emily Blunt."

Oh Brody. That has to hurt right? She didn't even know who you were. Wow. Well, it isn't like she knows who I am either, but of course I haven't spent the past several years trying to show my face and get my name out to the entire world either. Guess that really isn't working for you. I'm hoping that Josh Lucas wouldn't actually date her because I really like him, and would hate to start trashing him because of who he is dating. As for Emily Blunt. I could see that. Apparently her friends could as well or they wouldn't call you and ask you about her. They would have just asked you about the guys, so they must think you are capable of doing that particular dance.

I know many of you like Anne, but for some reason she rubs me the wrong way. My feelings are not so long gone they cannot be changed like Denise Richards or Kim Kardashian, but she needs to do something which makes me think she can be somewhat human.

Pink Talks About Peen


I'm sure Carey Hart loves the fact that the thing Pink misses most about him is his peen. Yep. In a recent interview, Pink was asked what she missed most about Carey, and this is what she said. "I really loved my husband's penis. It was really pretty."

Umm, yeah. Well, I guess it is better than saying it is ugly or small or what one of my exes said to her friend. "I think he has one. At least I pretend he does. Never have actually felt it."

Think that doesn't do some damage to the self esteem? You would think that after a marriage of a few years that you would miss something more about a person than a body part. I can't see a guy getting away with an answer like that. People would be all over him and saying this is why the marriage didn't work. Didn't care about her or her feelings or anything like that. The only thing that mattered was her body or a part of her body. So, how come Pink isn't called out for that?

Well, no matter, I think her statement should at least get Carey some dates.

Set Your TiVo For October 18th

I had a very long discussion on Sunday about the opening of SNL from Saturday. This was the first week I didn't YouTube it because I wanted to see it in the same frame of reference as everyone else. I thought it was funny, but I didn't think it was outrageously so. Maybe because I had high expectations, or maybe because I knew Queen Latifah was going to be on in advance so the surprise was gone. I don't know. Yes, I thought it was funny, but it wasn't like I can't go out tonight I have to stay at home and watch this show funny. Or, I usually go to bed at 10pm, but I will force myself to stay up until 1130pm funny.

But, it was still way better than the rest of the show, and the line about teenage weddings was hilarious. On October 18th though is a chance for redemption. That is the date when they come back to live episodes, and there is a rumor floating around that Sarah Palin is actually going to be on the show making fun of Tina Fey making fun of her.

That would be worth watching. Maybe even don't go out funny. It isn't like I am running around on a Saturday night anyway. With the exception of last week in Vegas I can usually be found on the futon down in the basement. Without my waterbed, the futon has become my home. This weekend I spent time rediscovering the joys of crackers and all of their lovely flavors. Went down the whole aisle last week just to see what I had not had in awhile or new ones and I ended up with like 25 boxes and bags. Needless to say it was a carbohydrate filled weekend.

Another Extreme Makeover Home In Danger


The last time I posted about an Extreme Makeover home was the one where some guy had taken out a business loan and used the house as collateral and then lost it all. This time though I am on the side of the homeowner, and think Seminole County officials are being asses.

Sadie Holmes is in danger of losing her home which was built by the show in 2006. They built her a six bedroom home and a 2,000 sq foot addition to use as an office. Previously she had lived and worked out of a 900 sq foot home. Sadie has her own non-profit and what she does is gives away everything she can find to people less fortunate than her. If it were not for her tireless efforts, many people would not have food or clothing or furniture. She does it all.

When she first was given the house, the county said she could operate her charity but could never leave anything outside. Well, after the flood of publicity from the show, she was overwhelmed with stuff to give to people. Even with all of the extra space there just was not room inside the house for trucks and cars. Imagine that. Not being able to fit a truck or cars inside the house. So, the county came by and started fining her. Repeatedly. Even though she was giving it away as fast as she could.

Well, she finally got caught up and there have not been any violations in a while, but the previous fines have multiplied and quintupled and added interest and so she owes $29,000. The county wants their money and have threatened to sell her home unless she comes up with it. I guarantee you that the original fines probably totaled $5000. They just added all that stuff to it. What they want is to have her gone, so all the poor and destitute will go away with her.

In every one of these Makeover homes going into foreclosure or turning out to be evil, I have always gone against the homeowner. Not here. The county needs to think long and hard about this and what a-holes they will look like if they kick her out. I would also hope that somewhere in that county someone could write a check if needed.

To see the first ten minutes of her episode. You know. The part that makes you feel sorry for her and taunts you if you don't cry, click here.

They Have Helped Hundreds


In the Mirror today they have an article about how Amy Winehouse got a call from the "Celebrity Center" at the Church of Scientology. God, can you imagine actually talking to Amy Winehouse on the phone. That has got be a hit or miss proposition at best. Then, try and explain you are calling from a celebrity center. Speaking of which. Doesn't the Church give a rats ass that the other members of their church probably don't like knowing they don't have their own center. Where is the "everyday people" center? Anyway, it probably took ten or fifteen different calls over the span of two weeks just to explain who was calling.

I guess the Scientology people think they can help her. I think they just realized that if they can get her sober and her next album is as big as the last one and with her history of addiction she will probably substitute one of her addictions for Scientology and they can make a couple of bucks. The thing that cracked me up was in the Mirror article they talk about the Scientology rehab program helping hundreds. Hasn't this thing been around forever? And it has only helped hundreds? With as much as they exaggerate about everything else, you would think that they would take some license with that. If something has been around lets say 20 years, and has helped less than 1000 people, then how successful do you think it is?

Curious about how they help someone beat drugs?

Treatment is in three stages. First, the addict is given vitamin cocktails.

Second is a series of saunas and a “detox diet”.

Finally, they have to work their way through a series of Scientology self-help books.

Sounds expensive to me. Vitamin cocktails probably for the rest of your life 5 times a day at $20 each. Detox diet which is probably food delivered to your door. $100 day payable in advance for 30 years. Includes a free MI3 video with every order. And then finally, the books. That is probably another $200 a week. Now, this doesn't include all the time she would have to spend at the rehab center before they let her go home to continue spending money. This sounds like a pretty big commission to me for someone. Do, they do that? Commissions?

Wonder If Mike Tyson Is Busy


I know Mike Tyson is not the same boxer that he was 20 years ago. Hell, I don't think he is even the same person. Would he gets his ass kicked by the top 30-40 heavyweights in the world if he got back in the ring? Sure he would. But, I don't want him to go back in the ring and fight for millions. Nope. What I want to do is raise a few thousand bucks and have Mike Tyson kick the crap out of Michael Lohan.

It seems that Michael Lohan fancies himself somewhat of an athlete. In addition to wanting to be the celebrity rehab king, Michael has signed up for some charity boxing event that takes place on November 24. Apparently, no other celebrity of any stature bothered to sign up which means that Michael gets to be the center of attention.

On the date above, Michael is going to go three rounds in a boxing ring with the highest bidder in an event called the Long Island Fight For Charity. There are 10 fights scheduled with proceeds from each fight going to charities in the region. In order to be able to fight, each participant must raise $5000. What it is probably going to be is a bunch of bosses fighting their disgruntled assistants, but in Michael's case, according to the organizers, bids are coming in from all over the world.

I think that Lindsay Lohan should immediately hock that ring of hers, go do some porn, and raise whatever money she can and send it to Mike Tyson. Anyone who is roughly the same size as Michael can enter. See, Mike Tyson is a fairly short guy, and so, I think he would qualify. The rules don't say anything about previous experience, they just don't want some extra huge guy going up against a tiny guy. Makes sense because you don't want someone killed. Kind of puts a damper on the whole charity part of the evening.

I think getting in the ring against Mike Tyson would probably shut Lohan up for good. I mean like jaw wired for good. Sure, there would be the odd strongly worded letter, but who knows if Michael can even write so, it is much preferred to his blathering on television cameras. Sure, at his upcoming wedding they might have to put his cake in a blender first, but that is what he gets for thinking he is Mr. Tough Guy.

One good bite of his ear, and I think we won't be seeing much of Lohan anymore. So, to help contribute, go to lifightforcharity.com and lets do the world a favor and shut up Lohan for good.
