Jennifer Hudson's Mother And Brother Murdered

Now is not a time for snark. Just want to pass along my best wishes and thoughts to Jennifer Hudson and her family at this difficult time. Here are the details as of Friday night.

Full Frontal Friday

Once again we delve into the world of peen. I do want to put in a little plug for next week. I think you will be absolutely amazed with what is in store for next week. It is something that you may want to set a little time aside for next week. You know, Friday night, and not while you are at work rushing through the photos.

If you ever wondered how in his mid 80's, Tony Randall was still finding young women to be with, you may just want to click and see.

Four For Friday - Jackass & Kindness

#1 - Jackass - This foreign born B list film star who was shooting for A list before he started losing his hair and his box office mojo is apparently extremely sensitive about his hair. How much? Well, he was buying a suit a few weeks ago and the salesperson suggested a hat because he thought it would go well the suit. Our actor took it the wrong way though and took a good five minutes to yell at the offending salesperson before throwing the suit on the floor and kicking it around a little and then walking out the door.

#2 - Kindness - I guess she is a C list television actress, but until a few years ago would have been considered B list when she was on a long running hit comedy. Well, despite the fact she is married with child/ren, she finds the time each week to spend about 15 hours weekly serving food to homeless people. She does this in the mornings before then coming home and seeing her kids off to school. Often she will go again in the evenings and take her kids to help.

#3 - Jackass - B list television actress who used to be on a hit and is now on a new show. Not the most fun person to work with according to the crew. For someone who is lucky enough to have a career she sure loves to play the game of don't talk to me. Apparently unless you are a producer or director on the show, you are not allowed to speak directly to her. Well, the crew loves nothing more to talk to her anyway. They love doing this when they need a break because they know she will throw a tantrum and retreat to her dressing room for at least an hour.

#4 - Kindness - Former B list television actress. Now, she is still a B, but is not really doing anything. A list name recognition though. Oh, and she's married. Last year she gave away every penny she earned for a show she was working on. Every penny and it was a substantial sum. It is not like she is hurting for money, but she gave away well over $3M to charity.

Random Photos Part One

A lot of internal discussion about who should get the top spot today because there were lots of interesting combinations. But, in the end I went with someone who I really admire and who has been around seemingly forever, and still looks great and does a great job. Annie Leibovitz gets the top spot today.

This photo had a strong chance. I know they are filming a movie together, but it still a very interesting group of guys headed for a night out. Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr. and Guy Ritchie.

I've decided that Ashley Olsen is normal. It was a long time coming, but I think she has kind of shown that at least compared to Mary Kate, she is the normal one.


A very odd combination. Allegra Versace and Balthazar Getty.

Candace Bushnell signing her new book.

Carlos Santana - San Francisco

I get depressed just looking at this photo of Debra Messing. Not that I ever really get excited looking at her.

This almost made the top spot, but just can't handle Jennifer Lopez being on top. Just never expected to see this combination in a photo.

Guillaume Canet on the set of his new film.

After this they went to dinner and forgot to pay the bill.

When Hilary takes a bad photo she kind of looks like Haylie.

NBC is making some knockoff of Fashion Runway while they hold up production of the real thing.

Josh Groban - San Francisco

Jerry Lee Lewis. What might have been if not for the whole 13 year old cousin thing.

Just because I like to see Joe Pesci and wonder what Angie Everhart sees in him.

One of my favorites. John Varvatos.

Kate Miller-Heidke - Sydney

Lindsay Price looks really good here.

I like how Mariah is pretending to move Nick closer so that people think they hug a lot or something.

Another odd pairing. Matt Damon and Wycleaf Jean.

I do love Marcia Gay Harden.

Is that an Ascot? What would you call that around Matthew's neck? I like it. I'm just wondering.

A blast from the past. Neve Campbell.

Not Nicole Richie's best day ever.

I think this is the first time ever for Penn Badgely.

This is the best Parker Posey has looked in awhile. She looks amazing.

Again with the flowers. She takes them everywhere.

Wow. RuPaul what happened to you?

Salma Hayek looking incredible as always.

Santino!

Stephanie Seymour. Have not seen her in forever.

The Top Chef tour is not as glamorous as the AI or DWTS tour.

They have to cook out of a truck.

Your Turn

When I asked for suggestions a few weeks ago, one of the most popular was the 3 people inviting to dinner question. This is a gossip site though so we have to do things a little differently.

3 people to dinner. 2 of the people must be an actor/actress/musician
Your third person needs to be a person who is a historical figure. Alive or dead. It does not have to be some high and mighty thing. I myself would get a kick out of seeing

Paris Hilton
Lindsay Lohan
Abraham Lincoln

That would be funny.

Glib Putz?

With the entire world of Scientology behind him, the best Tom Cruise could come up with during a Friar's Club roast of Matt Lauer was "Lose my number, you glib putz." The remark was a reference to his Today Show appearance. I credit that with the downward spiral of Tom Cruise. That along with Sumner Redstone giving him the boot.

I just find it hard to believe that is the best he could come up with. I mean doesn't Scientology have a bunch of wannabe Hollywood writers sitting around with nothing to do all day except talk to their auditors. I mean Matt Lauer got off a way better line than anything Tom mentioned. "Why don't you sit down?" Lauer shot back. "We'll get you a booster seat!"

See? Now that is a line from a roast. I mean that probably got one of the best reactions of anything said. I would have liked to have known what Tom Cruise was thinking right that second. Probably wishing he could call down Xenu onto Matt Lauer.

Geri Halliwell Blind Item - From The Daily Mirror

Which famous celeb tried to pull me by leaving his room key backstage at Top Of The Pops?

I turned him down, urgh, it was so tacky!

Hello Playboy

This is one of those exclusive things that people are always yelling about. I'm not a yeller, so you get the quiet little mention just within the post. Two weeks ago, Miss Teen Louisiana Lindsey Evans had nothing to look forward to except a free trip to New Orleans to hand off the crown to her successor. Oh, and of course hanging out with her like minded drug friends. Do you know that of the four women arrested that night, three were charged with drug possession and of those three, two were also charged with drug paraphernalia possession. Wrapping papers or a crack pipe? You take your pick. Anyway, the drug using of Louisiana teenagers isn't why I posted.

So, anyway, as you can tell by her mugshot, our beauty queen didn't seem to care she got busted and who cares that she lost her title a month early. She was going to be a former Miss Teen Louisiana in a month, so big deal. But, what the 18 year old did get is 15 minutes of fame that extends beyond the Bossier City suburbs. Playboy called this week, and now all of a sudden someone who was going to try and have to find something to do and move on with her life has the opportunity to get naked for $175,000-$250,000 and extend that career out a little bit and have a place to stay whenever she is in LA. So, never say that crime doesn't pay. If she had chipped in her $12 and had a brain that was big enough to not remember to leave her purse at the scene of the crime she would never have had the chance to earn almost a quarter million bucks.

They Always Say That

Whenever some actress decides to make a record or goes into a studio somewhere and records some songs, you never hear anyone say the actress sucked. No one ever says, "I can't believe she wasted her time and money doing that because she just sucked." Never happens. I don't know if they want to look stupid in case it takes off later or they just want actors and actresses to keep that dream alive so they come in and drop a few thousand dollars cutting some records or what.

The latest actress to get so lauded is Jessica Biel. Apparently she was singing some songs for the film Easy Virtue. Yeah, yeah. No one is going to see it, so let her sing some songs on the soundtrack. "She can hold her own as far as singing goes. She absolutely killed it. Some girls have everything. She’s a successful actress, dating Justin Timberlake, and she can sing!"

Yeah, well if she is so effing great at singing, then why hasn't her, ahem, boyfriend taken her into the studio? Why hasn't he produced anything for her? Why haven't the two made some money together based on her fantastic voice? I'll tell you why. Because she is good, but not great and Justin doesn't want to look stupid by producing songs for her that sound like crap. If she was that great, she would take advantage of it. It isn't like she is exactly at the top of the list when it comes to successful film stars. How long do you think it is going to be before she needs to find another source of income other than Justin.

What Is Up With Gina Gershon?

Over the past few months or so there has been a great deal of speculation about just exactly what is going on between Ron Perelman (26th richest person in the US) and Gina Gershon. I mean throughout the summer it certainly looked like the two were a couple. There were some who speculated that maybe Gina was with Ron for the money or that Ron bought himself a Hollywood actress. While he certainly has the cash to do that, it also seems to me that he probably wouldn't be spending it on Gina Gershon. Sure, she is great, but if you are the 87th richest guy in the world and you are buying someone, are you going to buy Gina Gershon? Have you seen how she looks the past few months? What I would like to see Ron do if he were going to buy someone is to see how much money it would take to convince Tom Cruise to break it off with Katie Holmes. Wouldn't it be hilarious one day to see Ron and Katie together all of a sudden and Tom buying a new jet and finding a new wife.

Anyway, I was one of the people who thought Gina and Ron were more than friends, and they may very well be. Last night at the Waverly Inn though Ron and Gina were sitting at a table, but with Anna Chapman who was introduced to everyone as Ron's girlfriend. So, basically you have Ron and Gina who ran around all over Europe together on his yacht or doing something tropical somewhere. I remember bikinis and sun. Could have been a dream, but I think not. The couple are always seen together, but this Anna Chapman who is a psychiatrist is considered the girlfriend. Maybe they have an open relationship? I'm sure that Ron and Gina would say they are just friends. OK, lets say they are just friends, how come Gina hasn't dated anyone since she has been hanging out with Ron? No one, nada. All she does is go to events with Ron or on her own looking like a big mess. I know people thought that Gina and Bill Clinton were having a thing, but I think they have only met each other like twice. Not that you couldn't have a thing meeting twice, but, don't think so.

I just think it is a very interesting dynamic and it is something to talk about on a Friday.

Mena Suvari To Get Married In Italy

When you see a headline like the one above, you start thinking to yourself that Mena Suvari is off to Italy and is going to marry her Italian boyfriend in the next week or two. But, the headline would be misleading. I hate headlines that trick you. Oh, Mena wants to get married in Italy and is planning on getting married in Italy, but just not until at least the summer of 2010. Yeah. So, almost two years.

In two years she will probably have shaved her head at least twice more, got six more tattoos, done maybe ten lines in a film and be on boyfriend number four. But, boyfriend #4 and her just might end up being married in Italy so it is good she is scouting things with her current boyfriend, who is Italian.

"We want to marry in Italy. We were there in August, and everything was closed in August, so we want to look at a lot of cathedrals and find a place."

Well, they do book up early I'm sure, so two years in advance is probably a good thing. Mena wants a traditional Italian wedding. Of course Mena was divorced in 2006 so the traditional Italian wedding may not in fact be possible. No one talks about that though in the story because the interview was with Kneepads and they only like focusing on the positives. Mena should have taken advantage of the situation and sold the rights to her wedding photos. By 2010 it is possible no one will remember her at all. Hell, if it was enough money they were offering she could just go there now, get married and paid and then get divorced and do it all over again with someone else.

Mooshki - Movie Review - Zach And Miri Make A Porno

This isn’t really going to be a review - I think you either like Kevin Smith’s movies or you don’t. This is a VERY Kevin Smith movie. Not my favorite (how can you compete with Dogma?) but definitely one of his better ones. I have to see it again; I missed a good chunk of the dialogue because I was laughing so loud (along with the rest of the audience). One of my favorite parts was when they were trying to come up with a title for their porno. I love porn titles that are take-offs of other movies (Forrest Hump, Edward Penishands) so I was dying at some of their ideas. Some things that stood out for me: Justin Long was surprisingly good at a role that’s quite different from the ones he usually plays (I can’t say anything about it without giving good stuff away). I think Traci Lords has been away from porn for too long - she seemed to be doing more “acting,” while Katie Morgan was a brilliant, naturally at ease, happy porn girl. Kevin’s wife, Jennifer Schwalbach, was gorgeous in her bit. In Clerks 2 she was way too thin and looked scary, but she’s gained a couple of pounds and it looks great on her. Saving the best for last: Yes, Mewes does full frontal (woo hoo!). He’s certainly not in Snoop’s league, but he was nicely groomed, and I think Pink would find it pretty. I can’t wait for the screen captures for FFF!

Warning: I can see why Kevin had to fight so hard with the MPAA - this is definitely a hard R for sexuality. (Although, imo, infinitely less offensive than the violence in a typical R action movie.) There actually isn’t a whole lot of full nudity, and of course there’s no penetration, but there’s a lot of implied kinky sex, including one particular scene that made me think Kevin thought to himself “what’s the most disgusting thing I can do to Jeff Anderson in this film?”

Another warning: You will NEVER be able to look at a Star Wars movie the same way again.

If you’re a Kevin Smith fan, this is a definite must-see!

Ted C Blind Item

Chalk another one up for the hets! When Stud-Bucket LeBeouf (no relation to the errant driving one) gets a woody for somebody other than his wife, he gets it in writing—always. But let's back up; wouldn't want to shoot our Blind Vice wad too soon, ya know!

Oh, and also: Look, for those of you out there who so (naively) think these jokers in H'town don't hook up with their attorneys looking over their erections at the same time, hey, you got another think comin', babes.

So, back to Stud:

Guess not everyone in H'wood is gay, but many in this town are pretty damn slimy. Mr. LeBeouf, for example. He's a megastar, by all standards, no doubt about that. S-B is mediocre-talented at his nonthespian career, but there's nothing mediocre about his looks—I mean, if I weren't married, I'd drool over him with the rest of the starry-eyed lot, fer sure; the dude's totally doable. He's got the bod, the hair, the style and the equipment down below, to boot (something I swear every one of my chick friends tells me they care more about than do gay men, and sisters, that is so saying a lot).

S-B.L.'s equally famous wife is just the topping to his sweet-ass life. He's pretty much the dude every guy wants to be and every gal wants to nail. Howev, lucky enough for the femmes, this is damn feasible. S2 has no problem stepping out on his honey and fam. He's just careful as hell when he does it: "He makes you sign one gnarly confidentiality contract beforehand," dished a recent and fresh Stud screw. "He uses them as customary procedure whenever he cheats," oozed the female, and this is quite often, trust.

Want details? Which kind? The inky ones first: Yes, we're literally talking a typed-up and ready-to-go piece of paper Stud-Bucket carries around with him, ya know, just in case. Like a condom! What, is this the newer safer sex? And there are no exceptions. Ever. Every lady Mr. L. has is required to sign on the dotted line before she's allowed between the sheets, which brings us directly to the second set of details. "Nothing kinky," blabbed our first-genital source, "but very nice ride"; most excellent tools, she added. Jeez, we're pretty surprised S-B.L. hasn't gotten caught by his wife-unit more often; we hear she's dumb in more ways than one.

Today's Blind Items - Kindness

Something a little different today. Always willing to change things up. This one is actually about the wife of a B list television star on one of the biggest comedies on television. It is not that hard, but when someone e-mailed me the story I just had to post it. It also takes place in Iowa which is odd because this is the second or third one we have had from the Iowa Writer's Workshop.

Before our subject got married she was a writer in the workshop. While there she met a male writer. This male writer did really well in the program. He graduated with tons of prospects--got himself a big agent, some money to support himself while he wrote post MFA, etc. While at Iowa, he became close friends with our subject. After a year of writing, he was ready to go--had his short story collection done, was going to hit the road to become the next Big Writing Star.

Except that he came home one night and everything--computer, disc drives, backups, paper copies, etc--of his work had been stolen in a burglary. A year's worth of work---out the door with a crackhead looking for some quick cash. Our male writer went into a tailspin--his life's ambitions were stolen from him in one night.

His support during this time came from our actor's wife, who continued to
encourage him to write, and who just helped him through that dark period, which lasted well over two years.

This feel-good story has a sweet ending, too---ten years later, our male writer
is back with a short story collection, and continues to write. Friends have helped him to set up a mini-midwest book tour, from connections he made while at Iowa, and a reading at the Knitting Factory in LA for him later this month, set up by his friend, our actor's wife.

Random Photos Part One

When your best friend says, "hey, you need to start putting up more Colin Firth" then of course I oblige. Top spot good enough? He does look good here.

Just because it is Alan Cumming and he has not been in the photos for awhile. Not for a lack of trying on his part. I don't think Alan misses too many red carpets.

I don't know if it is a dance or what that Al Pacino is doing. He was honored with some award in Rome and as you can see he dressed up. Kind of. Well, not really. I think this is the same outfit he wears everyday. The one where he is wearing it on the beach with his kids kills me.
Wow. Alicia Silverstone looks better than I have seen her look in a long time.
Some odd pairings now. Jimmy Fallon and Jill Hennessy.
David Spade and Nicolette Sheridan. Wow. She does not look that great. When Spade looks better than you in a photo, it's time to make a call.
Just don't call Cher's doctor. Virginia Madsen on the other hand looks great.
First time for Christopher Mintz-Plasse? I think it is.
Daniel Craig at that press conference I wrote about earlier this week.
"Hi, I'm David. Nice to meet you Demi. By this time next week people will be thinking we are sleeping together here on the set."
Gael Garcia. Don't really have anything to say, just thought I would put him in here.
One of my favorites ever. Jane Campion.
Yeah, but what you didn't see is that Kirsten Dunst and Justin Long were hanging out together again. And by hanging out I mean groping each other.
Hey, every once in awhile I think it is ok to show Katherine Heigl. Just can't be a habit.
Hey. Who had the bright idea to invite Lily Allen to a party sponsored by a vodka company?
Your favorite, Monica Belluci.
I'm a fan of Mario even if he does like Gwyneth.
Always a fan of Maggie Gyllenhaal.
My favorite photo of the day. Mandy Moore and Peter Alexander.
I just post the photos. I will leave the comments up to you on this one.
Our monthly check in with Mickey Rourke. And he had a date, so that is good news.
I'm guessing booze is behind the back.
I had to do a double take to make sure it was in fact Paul Bettany.
Two Paul's in a row. Fells like I'm reading the Bible. This time Paul Rudd.
Uh oh. It's a quandary. One bouquet of flowers and two women. Eeeny Meeny, Miny Mo.
4 1/2 years in prison. It is just his bad luck that he wasn't sentenced in California or he would have already been released.
So, even though she isn't a Duchess anymore it really doesn't matter because they always say the former Duchess so it is kind of like you get to have the title without doing anything for it.
See the candy by Selena Gomez' elbow. I could eat that whole box.
Can you see what the bag says? Well I bet Al used to say it. Bad? Well, I will say that Star looks good here.
The tattoos just don't really go with Seann William Scott.
When you haven't had a hit record in a few years, then John Taylor is forced to pal around with Tom Arnold.
So, I can't figure out why Cassie even bothers to go to any event with Diddy. She always ends up sitting in a corner alone waiting to go home.
While Sean hangs around with the likes of Tracy Morgan.
One of my favorite groups. The Rasmus.
The Submarines - Manchester

Santa About To Be Rehired

According to the Washington Post, Tyson's Corner relented under the onslaught of media from around the country and has agreed in principle to rehire Santa. Apparently though he might still not be working at Tysons Corner but may be moved to a different mall somewhere else in the country.

He's Just A Great Christian Boy

I know all of you have probably seen the Justin Gaston photos that have been flying all over the internet. Apparently when Justin parties he does so only without his shirt on. Practically everyone else at this party had his shirt on but Justin, because, I'm guessing the air conditioning wasn't working or because he can't afford any unless Miley is buying. Whatever the reason, I just thought I would post one of the photos to accompany what Miley had to say about Justin today when she was on the radio with Ryan Seacrest.

"He's a really great Christian guy. He's gone through stuff, and I've gone through stuff, and everyone goes through that. I think it's really awesome that we have that in common -- that we can talk about it and that we can understand [each other] ... he gets it."

She then added: "I'm totally gushing right now!"

Well, apparently Justin was gushing a couple of weeks ago at this party. Apparently Miley wasn't invited because it happened after 9pm. You know of course that Miley's parents are very strict and so wouldn't let her go out that night. Unfortunately it much tougher to sneak out of a house wired with alarms than it was when I was a kid. Hell, when I was a kid, my parents left the door wide open hoping I would leave. When I did, they then would lock it and hope that I didn't come back. I may have been a little bit of a troublemaker.

I can only imagine what kind of photos there would have been if Miley had been there instead of the substitute Miley that Justin had to be content with that night.

Can't Wait For 30 Rock? Here You Go

The new season of 30 Rock doesn't officially kick off until next week. October 30th to be exact. But, you know I love the show and NBC is making it available, sooo, if you have 22 minutes to spare at work today, here is the first episode of the show. Enjoy.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which wrinkly celeb hands out ecstasy tablets to young female clubbers like they were sweets?

Bet they won't be in a hurry to sit on his knee...

Better Keep Going To Those Parties

Ahhh, I really dislike writing about Heidi Montag unless of course there is something bad to write about. So, it is with great pleasure that I can write about Anchor Blue dropping the Heidiwood line of clothes. Apparently they didn't sell jack crap. Of course, they released a lovely statement that said they chose not to renew her contract because they were going to focus on what made them big in the first place, but lets face it, her line sucked.

If Heidiwood had been a big seller don't you think they would have found a place for it? Yeah, me too. No company throws away money. They thought, like others that television popularity equals people wanting to buy clothes from that person. Umm, people are not going to wear ugly clothes just because someone is on television. If that were the case, Lindsay's leggings would be flying off the store shelves and not being the target of jokes. Hell, Lindsay knows they are so bad even she has stopped wearing them.

Now with that being said if some fat guy store wants me to create a line of clothes for them, let me know. Basically my vision is just big t-shirts and huge tighty whiteys. Nice isn't it? Yeah, it is something the whole family enjoys seeing.

It's Touching But They Are Friends

Go to a party and be seen with someone, the next thing you know, people are calling and asking how come they didn't get an invitation to the wedding. The tabloids seem to be having a field day with DJ AM and Mandy Moore getting back together. They were not together last year so I don't know how the heck you think they are back together this year. Friends? Absolutely. Maybe even best friends. Kind of like brother and sister. Yes, and not like an Angelina brother/sister thing or any other freaky brother/sister thing comes to mind.

I think Mandy showed the kind of person she is when she flew to see Adam when he was in the hospital and I think she is a very loving, gracious person. That doesn't mean the two are getting busy in the DJ booth.

US Weekly in fact says that Mandy told someone that told someone that she liked Adam. What? Is this high school? Maybe she can pass him a note later and hopefully he won't get caught by the teacher reading it. Hey, if something happened between the pair that would be great, but I really dislike when tabloids need some filler so they find someone who knows someone who knows someone to just get an I like you. If you are going to go that route, I want something with some dirt. If you are going to give me 5th hand information than, I want something that makes you say wow, not yawn.

I will Take Chance #14 For $1000 Alex

You may have noticed that despite all the photos in the tabloids of Lindsay Lohan, she really has not done anything to make money except find someone who likes to take care of her. No films really, and her big shot a redemption on Ugly Betty? She ruined it. Yep. Apparently Lindsay liked to pretend she was bigger than she actually is and no one on the set could stand her.

When you have a six episode commitment and the producers say, go home early we only need four from you then you have either got to be the worst actress in the world or everyone hates you. And by everyone, I mean everyone. Sure, the producers gave Lindsay a nice sendoff in a press release, but it was generic and you could have filled in the blank with everyone from Denise Richards to Imelda Marcos.

Don't you think that if you are Lindsay Lohan and you are having to survive off hosting parties and what you can get from Samro's pocket that you should be kissing a little butt on the set? Swallow some ego woman. Just be humble and make everyone like you. At this rate, you are going to be doing Verne Troyer in a very special episode of the Surreal Life just to get someone to see you on some sort of film.

Who The Heck Cares?

As a guy who has always struggled with weight, I hate people who get off telling other people they need to lose weight. Sure, I know I'm obese and need to lose a few pounds, but hey, the women on DWTS are not fat. I may not like them personality wise, but as far as their weight goes they look great.

Apparently though, some of the male dancers on the show think that Cheryl Burke and Lacey Schwimmer look fat this year and fell it is turning viewers off to the show. I will tell you what turns viewers off. The fact that Louis van Amstel and Maksim Chmerkovskiy complained to TV Guide about the girls looking fat.

Maksim had this to say about the two women. "When I first saw these women this season, I said, Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds. You have to do something about this."

Umm, who the f**k made Maksim the boss? Maybe he should stop whining about the women on the show and be thankful he is getting to earn a few bucks other than teaching people how to ballroom dance for $10 an hour.

And Louis? He is just as much of a jerk. "[People] look at this show to be inspired and think, 'If I just work hard enough, I can look like that,'" he says. "If they watch someone who's dancing her butt off and she's still heavy, they can be discouraged."

What people should watch is how good the dancers are. Who says you have to be slim to be a good dancer? Some of these football players are not exactly light, but it doesn't seem to stop them from having fun and doing a good job competing. The idea of the show is to give people a good time and see who is the best dancer, not to pull out a scale each week. I don't watch the show, but I'm guessing the judges don't take off points for how much someone weighs.

All I do know is that these two guys are probably not on the Christmas card list of Cheryl and Lacey. I think they look fine just the way they are.

Remind Me To Go To The Doctor More

Wow, how many times have I woken up with a sore throat and gone to work anyway? Taylor Momsen woke up with a sore throat and almost died. She woke up one morning complaining of a sore throat like all 15 year olds do, and her mom probably thought she was just trying to ditch studying for a test. Someone told her to go the doctor before she flew from LA to New York and the doctor freaked out and put her in the hospital.

"I have been treating Miss Taylor Momsen for the last few days. She has been hospitalized for a severe, potentially life-threatening throat infection since Sunday. She has been an excellent patient, and after aggressive antibiotics and medications, she is expected to make a full recovery in the next three to five days."

Now, I am thrilled that Taylor is going to be ok, and then it got to me thinking that how many of us would not try and see a doctor on a Saturday or Sunday because we know we wouldn't get in. How many of us then would have died. These kinds of things freak me out. What kind of sore throat says I need to see a doctor right now no matter the cost? I'm guessing this was not just strep or mono. Anyone thinking staph infection? What the hell is going on at the Gossip Girl set? I know we have talked about staph infections before and I have to say they freak me out. Can you get one inside your body? I've only heard of them on your body.

Any ideas what this could be from anyone?

Lainey Blind Item

Girl sh-t is the best sh-t, right? It's even worse in Hollywood, especially when so many of them are fighting for everything: headlines, attention, and ultimately the work.

This is about the work. And the power plays they pull to get the work over their competitors.

Bitch #1 has been backstabbing for a while starting a few years ago when she was vying over a then-coveted role in a major blockbuster with lucrative potential. They'd narrowed it down to two and the studio had pretty much decided on the better actress. The contract was about to be signed but when B1 found out, she had her agent and her publicist publicly release confirmation that SHE landed the part, and even though it was an outright lie, it embarrassed her competitor so badly that her team pulled her back from accepting the offer leaving the film's producers with only one remaining choice.

Now she has a new opponent. And a more formidable one. The two were both in talks for a prestige project, a tug of war battle going back and forth. Bitch #2 launched the first offensive. She started circulating that B1 was struggling with her acting coach and had already fired two of them, studying with a third. When B1 found out she retaliated by circulating rumours that B2's assets were surgically enhanced and that she was a terror to work with, making crews miserable on a regular basis.

B2 has now struck back with the lowest blow yet. At a business lunch the other day, she made sure to drop details about B1's relationship: that it's in trouble, that's she's an emotional wreck and is prone to self harming and is trying to save her love by getting pregnant.

It's getting uglier and uglier and B1 is out for blood. Stay tuned...

Today's Blind Items

#1 - Ahhh my C lister who wants the world to think she is a lesbian, needs to be a little more careful if her plan is going to succeed. She has been doing her best to find someone to play her girlfriend, but no one wants to even be her pretend girlfriend. Anyway, that is beside the point. Last night her little makeout, grope session with the C list actor who has had his own issues will probably stall her little effort.

#2 - Ummm. Wow. Married, former A list singer. Wife not with him. Went straight for the drag queen at a party in the last few days. Did not leave his side once. Interesting.

Random Photos Part One

Today the top spot goes to a previously unreleased photo of Heath Ledger in his last role.
Aaron Eckhart seems like he has been watching a lot of the political scene. That is a candidate outfit and wave if I have ever seen one.
The voodoo thing is back. This time on the otherwise gorgeous Ileana Douglas.

So, did George ever call Alana mam when they were in bed together? Too much? I know, I know.
Ignorant question of the day. When you are having a fashion show featuring maternity wear, would it not make more sense to have models who are in fact actually pregnant? Sure, this model has the fake stomach, but otherwise she is still a size zero so it does not seem to reflect any sense of reality of how this would look on any other person in the world.
Probably the best I have seen Eve look in a long time.
Cornelia Guest has never been in the photos before. I think. In case you were wondering about the photo, the LA County Museum of Art is having a Vanity Fair portrait exhibition.
Kelly Lynch and her daughter.

So, has anyone ever asked Karl Lagerfeld why he wears the same clothes everyday? I just think that if you are a fashion designer, and the idea of your life is to get people to wear different outfits and styles everyday, that you are not really selling your idea very well if you wear the same damn thing all the time. You want a designer with imagination. Does he not have any for himself? Yes, that is Kate Bosworth with him.
Jesse Metcalfe all clean and sober. At least in this photo.
Joan Collins posing in front of what I like to refer to as the Kama Sutra photo.
Josh Brolin in France, promoting W.

I just put Mischa Barton in because it is so rare where she actually looks halfway decent.

Lindsay Lohan looks great. Never thought I would say it, but she does look great.
Linda Hamilton twice in a week just because the last photo of her was awful.
So, here is what I propose. People are only allowed to wear the headbands if they agree in advance to letting each CDAN reader kick them in the ass. Then I think we all can agree that they can wear them. It is win/win.
Is that the camera angle or does Keanu Reeves have like a huge boil on the side of his face?

Not the way we usually see Natalie Portman.

Little makeup.
And you may kiss the bride.
Mandy Moore having one of her gorgeous days.
Minnie Driver almost got the top spot. I cannot believe how fast she lost her baby weight.
Rainn Wilson and his wife and the secret to not having to take your shirts to the dry cleaners after every wearing.

I just love Robert Evans. Don't care what anyone says. I just love listening to him talk.
Everyone just looks great in these photos. I needed to put someone really hideous in here. Not Rosario Dawson. No, don't think that. She looks great. I was talking to myself.
Here we go. Paz Vega. I'm torn between Minnie Mouse and Cat Woman.
Patti LaBelle looks great.
Have not seen Steven Weber here in a long time.

Yes, twice in a week for Seth, but I like the photo, so it is in.
Steel toed heels and multi-colored hose. Interesting.
Just because Shenae Grimes has not been in here before.
My favorite photo of the day by far. That is the UK First Lady posing with Anvil. Love it.

Wouldn't That Make Things Worse

Notorious germ phobe, Shannen Doherty talked about her private bathroom publicly for the first time. In an interview she gave to Radar she talked about how she has a bathroom in her house that is for her use only. She didn't even let her ex-husband use it. I have no problems with Shannen having her own bathroom. I think most of us if we had the space would prefer that each member of the household had their own bathroom and one reserved only for guests.

What I think kind of defeats the purpose is what she does when she catches someone actually using her bathroom. She gave one such example to Radar. "I go in there, grab his arm, and, like, drag him out, mid-p**s."

Umm. It seems to me that what she should have done is just yelled at him after. I know that Shannen is no stranger to yelling. In fact she may have even gone so far as to kick the offender in an area where he would no longer contemplate taking such action in the future. This would not surprise me at all. What does surprise me is that she no doubt made the problem worse by her actions. Now, I'm not saying that I intentionally miss where I am aiming, but things happen. You try stumbling to the bathroom at 4am after seeing if you really could finish off a case of wine at one sitting. I'm just saying.

So, for her to grab a guy who was in mid stream, is probably not the best way to keep that bathroom spotless. Whatever was going on that night surely came to a screeching halt as Shannen probably had to stop everything she was doing and do a complete scrubbing of the bathroom. What the hell does she do when she goes on vacation? Put her in a hotel room and I can just see her lying on the floor in a ball whimpering while she decides if she really needs to go.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which man-of-the-moment popstar was not such a hit with the ladies at school? His nickname was 'Bender'.

Get Over It Shatner

William Shatner has an ego problem. Hell he has had one for the past 40 years. Even when he wasn't making a dime, and before Priceline saved his ass, pulled him out of obscurity again and made him wealthier than he thought possible, he still had an ego. In the YouTube clip below, Captain Kirk lays into George Takei for purposefully not inviting him to his recent wedding.

Umm, get over it Bill. Who cares if the guy doesn't like you? Move on. Why is it such a big deal that George Takei thinks you are a bitter ego-driven man who he doesn't want hogging the spotlight at his wedding? Why do you care so much? Did you have a thing for George you have not shared with him before? Did you and George use your tasers as they were not intended?

In this rant, Bill basically just goes off on George and questions his sanity because he didn't invite Shatner to the wedding. Damn man. How many weddings have you been to? Do you really want to go to more? Just find out where they are registered and send them a gift. If you are really wanting some communication from the guy, then send him a car or something. You know you can afford it more than George can and I bet he would even get in touch and say thanks. Then, you could hash all this out or you could choose to hang up on him and be petty. It is up to you. I personally think you just need to take the high road, but that option left you about 40 years ago.

Santa Was Screwed

About once a year I write about Santa or something that has happened to Santa. Was it last year that Santa had to file charges against the woman who kept groping him looking for his special candy cane. I loved that story. That one made me laugh. This one. Not so much. Below is my letter to Tysons Corner Mall which is a huge mall outside Washington DC. For why I am writing the letter, click here.

Dear Tysons or Grinch or however you spell your name,

I just read in the Washington Post how you basically screwed your Santa over for a few extra bucks. I really think that shows what kind of people are running your organization. Your Santa has been working at your mall each winter for the past 18 years. Eighteen years he has showed loyalty to your organization and to all your customers. Customers who came as children now bring their own children to see Santa.

You obviously at some point felt very good about him being your Santa as he has a contract with your organization that is good through 2012. Based on that legal document he went and bought a house last year. You probably don't know this because he is just a guy in a red suit to you, but he actually lives in Tennessee, and comes up to the Washington DC area every year because he likes the people, the customers, the atmosphere and because he feels a sense of loyalty. Obviously these are not characteristics you share with Santa.

Also in reliance upon that contract, Santa bought three new suits this year. Did you know they go through that many suits? I didn't, but when you think about the thousands upon thousands of customers who sit on his lap each day it isn't surprising. Those suits cost $900 each. He also buys a new pair of boots each year which cost $725. He sure does a lot to make himself appear to be the very best Santa he can be. That is a big commitment. Something again, which I don't think you share with him.

Sure, Santa makes a decent wage when he works for you. Santa says he makes about $30,000 over the holiday season. It seems like a lot until you guess he is working 7 days a week for 15 hours a day for about six weeks. He does that with a smile on his face all the time because he can't let any child or parent not think he is giving 100%. Obviously something you don't really do there either.

Did you notice the day on the calendar? It is October 22. Just about two months until Christmas. When did you let Santa know you would be using some rent a santa from a national company that promised you more money from photos? Oh? This past weekend. Well, don't you think that most Santas have been hired already for malls around the US? You don't really care do you? You don't care if your customers are upset or if they call you names. You don't care if they let you join in any reindeer games. Hell, can you even name all the reindeer? Probably not, but I bet you tell all your friends about the time you went to Finland and ate one. Why don't you tell that to your kid and see how they react. Oh? You don't have children? Of course you don't because you wouldn't be such heartless bastards if you did.

Have you ever stopped to consider that if 500 of your customers decided to go to Pentagon City or some other mall in the DC area and spend their money there in protest that it might in fact offset whatever extra few dollars you are getting with the photo company? You probably didn't. You just saw fat dollar signs in front of your eyes and forgot the most important lesson about Christmas.

Sincerely,

EL

Beckhams Saying Bye Bye To The US?

Something shady is going on over at the Beckham's house. Maybe they are just tired of those 3am phone calls from Tom Cruise asking if he can come over and tell them some exciting news. Maybe they are tired of having to smile all the time and of all the bright sunshine. Maybe they realize that the Beckham name has taken a big nosedive since they have been here. Whatever the reason, it seems as if the Beckhams are going to be giving up the States and head back to Europe.

As you know they came here so David could play for the LA Galaxy. I mean I guess Victoria could have played as well. I mean the teams sucks so bad that it really would not have made a difference if she played every game, they still would have lost. So, with David playing for an awful team and everything Victoria touching here in the US turning into horrible business decisions, it may be time. David is training with AC Milan right now and there is a report today that LA is going to loan him to AC Milan beginning in January. Umm, Beckham is like 100 in soccer years. You don't loan a guy out who is 100 and expect him to be fit for your season. What this is going to end up being is Beckham saying bye bye to the US, and the whole family moving back to Europe. Milan? Come on. You don't think Victoria would like a year or two there? You are kidding yourself.

I'm sure they will say this was an opportunity too good to pass up. It must have been something because David will be leaving many millions on the table here. Of course, if he keeps selling products like those fish sticks it won't really matter how much he gets paid to play soccer/football.

Jerry Hall Still Has Plenty Of Mick Jagger's Money

You know how someone like Jerry Hall still has a lot of the money from her ex husband? She trashes reality shows. In an interview with some British magazine of which the name escapes me, Jerry said she has been asked to do a bunch of reality shows, but with the exception of the one she did three years ago they are all trash. She refuses to be on the Dancing ones even though they call her almost weekly. She also has had offers from scores of others. Now, if Jerry were hurting for cash or starved for attention she wouldn't be burning all these bridges, she would be filling up our television screens with her face each week and filling her bank account.

Now, one way that even Jerry can see the bright side of a reality show is if they offer her enough money to crack through that shell. Apparently she was on some VH1 show called Kept. I have no idea what that was about and never heard of it, so you can tell it probably left a big impression on lots of people. But Jerry loved it, and the reason she loved it was they paid really well. So, well in fact that despite it not doing very well and was probably awful I guess there is a point where even Mick's money could use a little boost now and then.

Josh Holly Is An Idiot

I bet most of you are saying to yourselves, who in the hell is Josh Holly? Well, I'm glad you asked. He is the second person in the last two days to show how dumb criminals are. Yes, at this point he is an alleged criminal because he has not been charged with anything. Of course when the FBI comes to your house, takes your computers, your phone and conducts a full body cavity inspection, you do start to wonder. Actually, the full body cavity thing is just a guess. I mean if you are going to search, you would think they would search everywhere.

Josh Kelly had this little raid because he is the hacker who managed to get his hands on all those Miley Cyrus photos that made their way to the internet over the past year or so. He managed to pull off this feat by conning a MySpace worker into handing over some passwords, and then used those passwords on a gmail account he knew Miley had. Voila. He had access to the photos and in what context they were sent out. In this case they were all sent to one of those Jonas dudes. They all kind of blend together at this point. So, although I still think Miley's parents are awful, I will give them a somewhat half apology because it was not Miley or Billy who was sending them out. Instead it was just a 15 year old girl sending half naked photos of herself to a guy who said he was not going to have sex until he was married. Uh huh.

The gmail account in question had the name messagemebaby@gmail.com Nice huh? Sounds like it was set up for someone she considered her baby. At least she doesn't have a baby, because that would be awkward for someone. How do I know all this stuff about what Josh did? Because Josh is an idiot and couldn't keep what he had done quiet. He just had to let the world know and he bragged the FBI would never catch him. In fact he said the very same thing on one hacker site about two hours before they raided him.

Josh did try and sell all the suggestive photos of Miley, but TMZ, The Enquirer and the bunch didn't want to have anything to do with them because of the way he got them. I'm impressed. I really thought they would have taken the chance because their numbers would have soared. 15 year old guys don't normally buy the Enquirer, but they would have. Josh also says he has nude photos of Miley. If he does, he will be in bigger trouble with the feds, and so will that Jonas brother dude if Miley sent it to him and he kept it. Oh, and so will Miley if she took them and sent them to Jonas brother dude. So, Miley and Jonas brothers and all the Jonas brother friends who got a copy of those Miley nudes (if any) delete, delete. Here come the feds.

So, Josh, congratulations. You are the idiot of the day. Now, I know of course that you will probably hack your way into my world and my life, but honestly, I live in a basement with my parents. I'm 406 pounds as of this morning, have no hair, and some teeth dangerously close to falling out. I really don't think you could make my life much worse.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which reality star has-been should tone down the drug use? The dethroned tabloid subject brought two eight balls of coke (7 grams) to a weekend getaway. She was last seen at 7 a.m., trying to find someone to play charades with her.

Today's Blind Items

Talk about embarrassing. Wow. I can't decide who was the more embarrassed. This married A list director enjoys perusing escort sites and calling one to come over to his hotel room, especially when he is on the road. In this instance though he was in town, but was put up in a hotel because he had been doing press earlier in the day. Before heading home to the missus, he decided to call up his favorite agency and they sent someone over. Well imagine the shock on the face of both our director and the escort when it turned out to be the cousin of the wife's director. They had just seen each other at a family gathering two days prior. There were a lot of umms, but both decided it would be just a little too strange to do anything. Most guys would have gone home to the wife, but not our director. He called up the agency and got someone else.

Random Photos Part One

I can't remember if Tony Curtis has ever had the top spot before, but what the hell. He is one of my all-time favorites so he can have it again if he wants.

Congratulations to Ali Larter who finally got around to having that engagement party over the weekend.
I can never tell from the photos if Allegra Versace looks healthier or not. She seems to always wear the same dress so you would think I could tell. Yes, that is Christina Ricci on the left.

And in case you were curious, here is the back of Christina's dress and a really bad shoulder tattoo.
Billy Zane looks like he is going for a drive in the country. This is one guy I just cannot quite get a finger on. Too many stories. Some people say one thing and other say other things, so I just think he is somewhere floating in between.
Hey it is Superman. Kind of. Does anyone even remember that Brandon Routh played Superman? Here he is with Courtney Ford.
Ben Folds - New York
So, it appears that when you hire Ivanka Trump to promote a new product she just got kind of stops by on her way to lunch, takes a few photos and collects her check, all without breaking stride.

The name of the day goes to io echo. I think I would just rather have a symbol from Prince.
Michelle Rodriguez at a hockey game.
And the Piven as well. The two women with him look thrilled to be there don't they? Probably not what they expected when they found out they were going out with Jeremy.
The too good looking couple of the day goes to Matt Goss and Daisy Fuentes.
Look what we have here. Jason Patric.

Jay and Silent Bob all over again.
I want you all to remember that Brad Pitt was once desperately in love with Juliette Lewis.
Hell, even Justin Long went out with her. I think. Maybe it was the PC guy. I get confused.
It's a Stallone. Well kind of. It's Jennifer Flavin Stallone.
Liv Tyler two days in a row simply because this is a 180 from what she wore yesterday.

Leelee Sobieski, or as her friends like to call her, Maid Marion.
I believe this is the first time Laila Ali has been in the photos.
But not the first time for Kellan Lutz.
Again with the no smiling. Hey any of us would love a swag bag from Burberry. Just smile for two minutes, get your free crap and go home. No one was paying you to be there. You are out, at night, away from the kid. Smile.
Milo Venti Latte is really starting to get on my nerves.

I'm guessing Mena Suvari is on Team Madonna. Or, it could just be a Halloween costume.
Amy Smart looks great.
So, am I missing where some trend started which included bringing your voodoo supplies with you wherever you go, because Maria Bello is doing it.
And Perrey Reeves is doing it.

A random assortment here. From L to R - Rufus Wainwright, Bernie Taupin, Elton John and Jake Shears from Scissor Sisters who just fired their drummer.

Patrick Wilson - New York
Pink - Sydney
Not a fan of Patrick Dempsey, but I love the suit.
I thought I needed to fill space.
Traci Lords at the premiere of Zack and Miri Make A Porno. Appropriate huh?

It is freaky huh? Been looking at this photo all day and I still shiver.

The Shallow Award Goes To...

If you recall, about a month or so ago, I posted a little thing in here about how Lindsay Lohan skipped the funeral of her grandfather because she was in an argument with Michael Lohan. I said she should have gone and most of you said she didn't have to. Hey, at least she had some kind of reason for not attending. I mean in retrospect if she had gone, Michael would have probably just tried to sell the photos of it anyway, so he is probably just pissed he couldn't go out and acquire any more items from the Right Said Fred line of clothes.

But, one person who was also not there was Ali Lohan. Not caught up in a huge squabble with her dad, one wonders what her excuse was for not showing up. Well according to Fox, the reason Ali didn't show up at the funeral was because she didn't have time to get her hair extensions done the day before and didn't want anyone to see what horrible hair she has. Ummm. I guess we can congratulate her for telling the truth instead of making up some kind of in bed with the flu story. Can you even comprehend how shallow someone must be that they would not attend the funeral of their grandfather because they didn't have time to get hair extensions? What the hell has this world come to? How vain can a kid get? I'm sure it was a horrific drama for her, but don't you think that the parent she currently lives with would have at least acted like a parent and told her to get the f**k to the funeral? Yeah, well the mother of the year obviously didn't do that because she was probably more concerned with how the look would affect her future commissions. She has to make a living after all, and she only has so many kids.

I'm Guessing It Wasn't Part Of The Talent Competition

Apparently the talent competition isn't what it used to be in beauty pageants. Yesterday, Miss Teen Louisiana was busted along with three of her friends for doing a dine and dash. According to TMZ, Lindsey Evans who is the reigning Miss Louisiana realized that when she left the restaurant without paying the $46.07 bill she did leave behind her purse. Being the bright, educated person she is, she decided to go back for her purse. Wow. Well, when she came back to claim her purse, she was arrested. During a search of her purse, the cops found some pot in there as well. Maybe if she had not spent the money on pot she could have afforded to pay for the meal. Dining and dashing doesn't exactly work out too well when you leave behind your name for everyone to see.

Hell, this crime is right up there with the bank robbers who sign their names on the hold up notes. The crazy thing is that the officials in charge of the pageant have not decided what to do with their reigning queen. Seems as if she only has a month left in her reign. After that she had planned on going to school to become a rocket scientist probably. That or see if she can hook Casey Aldridge. Lindsey seems really broken up about the whole thing in her booking photo. Hell, she probably didn't have that big of a smile on her face when she won the pageant.

Daniel Craig As Thor?

Daniel Craig was in LA yesterday doing some press for Quantum Of Solace. Yeah, yeah, well you could have come out here and staked out the press conference. They are always at The Four Seasons. They have a monopoly on them. There is usually a press conference there every day during the week. Anyway, while Daniel Craig was there making people swoon. Do people still swoon? Where did that come from anyway? Sounds like some kind of 50's Oscar telecast. Anyway, during the press conference, the subject of the film Thor came up.

Apparently, Marvel comics wanted Daniel Craig for Thor. He was their first choice. I know all of you love Daniel Craig, and he may in fact be the best Bond, but honestly do you see him with the long hair and the hammer? If you do, you probably also have a Daniel Craig poster hanging on your bedroom wall and also own a bottle of Bond: The Cologne. Yeah, go ahead and look, I don't think such a product exists. If it did, I wonder if it would outsell that Jessica Simpson one where she uses her dog. I understand celebrity endorsements and am a fan of them. I don't necessarily agree though that people will buy something because it has a celebrity name on it such as the perfume. If it smells like crap, it doesn't matter who is endorsing it, because it isn't going to sell. Now, if the Bond:The Cologne came with some photo of Daniel Craig in the buff, then I guess most of you wouldn't care what the hell it smells like. So, there is that trick.

Big Mistake By Britney

I don't usually wake up early enough to see all the performers who sing on the early morning talk show programs, but from what I have seen, they often have technical problems, the weather can be very uncooperative and for the most part, unless you are a really good singer, the quality sucks and you don't end up looking that great. Plus, musicians as a rule do not enjoy getting up at 4am to get read for an 8am performance.

So, why on earth would Britney Spears sign up for a December 2 appearance on GMA in Bryant Park? To me that is just setting yourself up for failure. Even if everything went flawless, she is still not going to sound great because of the conditions, and at worse the performance could make the VMA of last year look wonderful. Apparently she was dying to do one of the morning programs and GMA beat everyone out.

What she needs is for Solid Gold to make a comeback so she can do her little dance moves while lip syncing to her songs and have a bunch of retired disco dancers in the background making her look good. Instead what she is going to get is some guy slipping on a patch of ice on the stage while he is reaching for the last donut on the craft service table, pulling out a plug and watching Britney embarrass herself. Live, outdoor television, in winter (almost) in New York in the early morning is just not a recipe for success. A recipe for YouTube success, but not Britney.

Anne Hathaway Has A Healthy Fantasy Life

So, it is always with great trepidation that I read any article over at Kneepads magazine because you have to dig through the adjectives to find any kind of meat to the story. If the article is an interview with Anne Hathaway, I am doubly cautious. The headline is what got me. People claims that Anne has a sexy new mystery man. To me, that implies. Hell, it doesn't even imply. To me that says she is dating some guy who is sexy and she doesn't want anyone to know who he is. Well, let's look at her quotes to People about said mystery guy. These are all taken in order and in context.

"This guy I know in L.A. is kind of doing it for me right now."

OK, when I read that I say, ok People didn't lie in their headline and Anne found some new thief to love. It also kind of says that she is just using him for sex, but really, whatever happens between two people is really none of my business unless they film it and it ends up on the internet and then I'm forced to watch an hour or so of boring sex between people I really don't care about.

"When I think of sexy, I think of him."

Kind of like when I think of cheeseburgers I think of In-N-Out. I can relate. So again, I think we are all agreed that she has a guy. Well, see what you think now.

"You know when sometimes you don't know someone very well – you'll probably never see them again – but you just meet them and you're like 'WOW, you really have it going on'?"

So, what I am getting from this is that she had a one night stand with some guy who was probably married or in a relationship or that she hired an escort. Or, it could be some guy she worked with or met a party and they had one date and then had sex. That really wouldn't be a one night stand. I just don't get the probably never see him again part which is why I thought of married or in a relationship. Or it could be one of those missed connections thing on Craigslist. Has anyone ever heard of anyone meeting someone on there? It is almost like you have to get lucky that the person you had a little crush on also had one on you and then one of you decided to post on Craigslist and the other person had to look that exact same day. That is like a million to one. Anyway, back to Anne.

"I'm totally single right now."

Umm, okay. So, it was just a one night stand or she doesn't ever expect to see him again? If you like someone that much and there was any hope, would you say that you were totally single?

And her last quote on the subject.

"But I happened to meet a sexy guy the other day."

OK, so now I'm thinking to myself she saw some guy at Starbucks and has been using her imagination and some alone time in the bedroom to turn this guy into reality.

If you want to read the article or what she has to say about working with Johnny Depp and her "friends", click here.

Power Ranger Guilty Of Three Murders

A former Mighty Morphin Power Ranger was found guilty yesterday of murdering three people. Skylar Deleon was a child star on a lot of shows but was most well known for his stint on Power Rangers. It is a gruesome crime, but apparently Skylar was greedy and wanted a yacht that two people owned. He forced them to sign transfer documents and then killed them and threw them into the sea. Then, when one of his accomplices got greedy, Skylar killed him as well. There are several other people involved in this tale including Skylar's wife who used her nine month old child as bait to gain the yacht couple's trust.

Although Deleon did not plead guilty to the crime, his lawyer never denied that his client did the crime and was basically just using the trial to try and convince the jury that Deleon should not be given the death sentence. The attorney blamed all the bad stuff on Deleon being abused by his father who later died of AIDS. Yeah, but while his dad was dying of AIDS, Deleon tried to to have him killed while in jail on these murder charges.

Deleon just better hope that none of the jury has ever seen that show, because after five minutes of watching it, they would want revenge. If you want to read an account of the murders from the perspective of the family members of the couple who were killed, click here.

$2 A Minute

Apparently Sarah Silverman doesn't feel bad about taking money from people and not doing anything in return. Much like a psychic hotline or a phone sex operator, Sarah appears to charge by the minute. In a show in London this past weekend, Sarah had a concert. The ticket prices were all about $100. How long did Sarah perform? 40 minutes. That's it. That includes an encore because she didn't have one. There was no opening performer. That is the most ridiculous thing ever. Plus, she didn't feel bad about it and didn't understand why the audience was taunting her and booing her.

Eventually the promoters forced to go back on stage and do a Q&A in order to keep the crowd from demanding their money back. Since the show had almost 4,000 people, neither Sarah nor the promoter wanted that. Sarah performed no new material in the show at all and she admitted to the crowd she had none. Ummm, you would think that she would always be working on new stuff. Any stand up that has worked as long as she has and writes their own stuff would be willing to talk about almost anything for as long as you let them up there. It might not all be the best but there are things they probably have worked on for years they could talk about. To the audience it seemed as if Sarah only cared about the $300,000 she got for the 40 minutes, and when the audience would not stop jeering them, told them to go home and she walked off the stage.

I'm guessing the rest of her UK tour will even be less pleasant.

Which pint-sized crooner recently stood up his date because he was too scared to drive into Canary Wharf?

The star feared the area's tight security would sniff out his drugs

Today's Blind Items

Well, well, well what do we have here? This reality show couple who basically makes a living being a couple is not really the couple they pretend to be. It seems that not only do the couple not sleep together, most of the time they do not even sleep in under the same roof. Can't stand each other, but suffer through pretending for the sake of the money. Not who you are thinking. Think bigger.

Random Photos Part One

Mr. Blackwell - RIP
Take a guess. Come on. How about Al B Sure. Been awhile huh?
I believe that is Adrian Grenier trying to do a sneer. Perhaps a snarl. Is the Elvis look a sneer or a snarl?
I must admit that I have really enjoyed the choices Alan Rickman has been making the past four or five years. He is really, really versatile and finally getting a chance to show it.
Christian Castro - Los Angeles

So, Brooke Shields decides she will get dressed up as well as the kids.
James Gandolfini came dressed as Bruce Willis complete with current and ex-wife and kid.
And then he killed his kid just for the heck of it.

Always good to see Donna Pescow.

Charlie Sheen finally makes a public appearance and it is at the Best In Drag Show. I think it is a great show, just making a comment.
Camyrn Manheim was also there.
While Carla Gugino and her amazing outfit was doing something else. Sorry just saw the Captain Morgan logo, and a tear came to my eye.
Gwyneth Paltrow channeling Kelly Ripa. You kind of have to look at her like one of those dot drawings.

Faith Hill in a bikini. Uh huh. Oh, I'm sure she looks great in a bikini, but Shape just takes the airbrushing to the extreme.
Fred Armisen before the show.
And during the show. He cracks me up.
Elton John - Wilkes-Barre, PA

"Smells like when you take a hose and run it over your dog."

Jaime King and her husband.
Hey, it's Stiffler's mom. Yeah, yeah, I know it is Jennifer Coolidge and she is amazing. Love Best In Show. But when she is walking down the street, they aren't asking her what it is like to work with Christopher Guest.
Holland Taylor looks great.
Now, for an extra $26.50 you can get 24 5X7's, 142 wallet size, 3 posters, 16 key chain photos, and a free coke at the snack bar.
Guess who? Did you guess Linda Hamilton? You are better than me.

The odd pairing of the day goes to Laird Hamilton and Ted Danson.

Peri Gilpin is another person I have not seen in some time.

Never have seen a photo of Dustin Hoffman and Pierce Brosnan together.
OK, that is the final straw. I am going out today and buying a velvet jacket. I don't want to be the last one. Liam Neeson is wearing velvet and Natasha Richardson let him so I need to as well.
Hello Liv Tyler.
Laura Linney in London. Wanted to make it an alliteration, but was lazy.
More from Tinkerbell. Raven Symone here.

Rachel Dratch and Will Forte at the same event Fred Armisen was at.

Seth Myers at that same show as the rest of the SNL folks.
And Selena Gomez wins the fake kiss of the day award.
Rob Zombie, because hey, it is Rob Zombie and Mrs. Zombie.
I don't think it is possible for Zach Braff to look more oily. He should be selling used cars out in the back.

Someone told me it was Viggo's 50th birthday. I'm too lazy to check. The person who told me though would basically do anything to see Viggo so this just could be her way of saying, give me Viggo. All you have to do is ask. I take requests.
They really don't look much different all these years later do they? The wonders of cosmetology.
Thandie Newton and her husband Ol. Yes, Ol.
Tyler Florence sweats right into the food. Nice.

Especially If He Isn't The Baby's Daddy

One of my favorite troublemakers, Peaches Geldof told Heat magazine in the UK that she doesn't think her marriage is going to last forever. Well, I have to admit Peaches that it has lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. I actually think it will last until one of the two is ready to be married again. Until then, I think it is good to go.

"You can't ignore divorce rates. Every friend of mine has parents who are now divorced. I didn't go into it with Max thinking, 'This is going to last forever'."

I know, I know. But at least she admits it. She says she just did it because she was 19 and in the US and wanted to do something wild with the guy she had known for three weeks. Well it is wild, and honestly if she gets divorced is anyone really going to count it against her or him? In a way, the marriage even if it lasts a year or two is probably a whole lot better than a big tattoo of Max right across her body.

My question is this. I have heard the rumors and the whispers and Peaches is allegedly pregnant. My question is, if she is, who is the daddy, and do you think she knows?

I Guess I Could Write About Her

Sometimes I think about writing about someone, but then as I ponder the idea in my head the only ever place I see it going is straight to the gutter. I try and keep things family friendly. OK, a family that consists primarily of teenagers and above, but I do try. So, when I read Brooke Hogan's celebrity page on MySpace, I had an idea, but all I could think of was making a joke about how she wanted Nick home from jail because Daddy wasn't rubbing oil in the right place anymore. I know, I know. And yes, I do read those celebrity pages just so you don't have to. Brooke's this time actually sounded it was written with someone with an education so obviously she didn't do it.

Her whole blog is about her Nicky coming home early and how he is like her best friend. Not actually her best friend, but kind of like her best friend. Umm, he's your brother. Just say, he is my brother and I have missed him. The whole best friends thing then starts wondering if it is a friends with benefits thing and again, we start slowly sliding down that slope to the gutter.

I will say one thing about what she wrote. At least she didn't try and hide the negative stuff.

"There have been a lot of supporters and a lot of haters that have come up to me and said things that have helped and things that made me feel like I couldn't make it through another day... Some people wish terrible, terrible things on us and say the most nasty comments that I can't even repeat on here... It really hurts.

"I understand people have their own opinion, but most of the people that come up to us don't know the whole story or how much we really, really love John. It's really sad because we're not bad people. We're just going through a really hard time, and so is John's family."

The part above is the part that seems like someone with a brain wrote it, but I will say that at least she didn't try and pretend that no one has said anything bad to her. I hate when celebrities say that everyone is on their side. No, they aren't and she admits it, so she gets some kudos for that. And, she is also right that we don't know the whole story, but what I at least have seen and heard from her family does not indicate to me any kind of love for John or his family at all, and so I don't blame anyone for laying into Brooke.

Finally, Brooke decided to do my least favorite thing. She is going to cook for Nicky. Yep, she said the c word. Apparently Nick has only been getting beef and potatoes in jail so she is going to fix him something special. Mac & Cheese. I kid you not. Yeah, I want Mac & Cheese out of a box cooked by my annoying sister after spending 8 months in jail. What he should do is go spend about the next two weeks sitting next to John, but I bet he doesn't even go visit unless someone makes him.

Then She Saw The Way He Folds Towels

Nick Cannon almost didn't become Mrs. Mariah Carey. The reason? Mariah had second thoughts because Nick was so much younger than her. "You know what, I did. But he doesn't act like it (younger) - he's really very intelligent. He's a very business-minded person, but he's also a lot of fun so you don't really think about those things. It is what it is."

I guess as you get older you get more intelligent? At least according to the world inhabited by Mariah. Mariah already tried the older thing and it didn't work. Tommy Mottola was not going to go around folding all of Mariah's towels or doing all the little things she wants done. She needed a younger guy who was hungry and who would basically do anything for her to get ahead. Kind of like a casting couch but with a piece of paper. I don't think age is really that big of a deal, and I actually think this relationship will last exactly as long as Nick can handle putting up with Mariah and her demands. If he can hold his tongue and keep pretending he doesn't have a pair, then this relationship will last forever or until Mariah finds a new toy.

When you see photos of them together, do you see anything resembling love? I see a guy who is just trying to be noticed in the light coming off Mariah's halo. Yes, I know she doesn't have a halo, but she thinks she does. This is a guy, who has chosen to go the Mrs. Carey path, and probably thinks he will work out great for him in the long run. Well, on that run why don't you stop by Kevin Federline's house and see how that has all worked out.

Well What Careers Are Left?

So for the first time in a long time, Seal got interviewed. I hardly ever get to see any quotes from him that are not about his wife Heidi or the reason he has not had a hit song in forever. I like Seal. I like his music and considering I am a 30 second wonder, I have no problems with someone who is a one hit wonder. Except for James Blunt, but that just opens up things that we really shouldn't talk about today. I mean today is Monday and not go on a rant day about some guy who got lucky. There are one hit wonders who are great musicians who had great careers and for whatever reason only one song took off for the masses. I think Seal is great, just has not had his past successes repeated. James Blunt to me anyway, has no talent and is the true definition of a one hit wonder.

Now, with that being said, and all those nice things I said about Seal, I read the interview and wondered what he smoked before he gave it. The interviewer was asking him about his kids and what he wanted them to be when they grew up.

"I'd encourage my kids to do anything in life. As long as they don't aspire to become serial killers, porn stars or join the military then we’re good.

First of all, I see no problems in anyone joining the military. Obviously Seal has a problem with it, and that is opinion. Everyone can have an opinion. It is the other two things that just really freaked me out. Does he think his kids are on the path to becoming a serial killer or a porn star? Is this something he stays awake thinking about at night? And who has ever aspired to become a serial killer. "You know what dad, the whole fireman thing just doesn't appeal to me. I really want to focus on classes that will allow to me be a serial killer. I know the pay isn't great, but the job satisfaction is what I'm after."

This almost sounds like a joke, with no punch line. "An Army guy, a porn star and a serial killer walk into a bar..."

Wow. I really would have loved to have seen some followup questions to these, but as usual, there was nothing. I really thought the Mirror which is where the quotes came from would have had the guts to ask more questions, but they didn't. Is there anyone in this world who will ask a followup?

She Expected A Reply?

Pink is a little pissed that she wrote a letter to Queen Elizabeth two years ago and hasn't received a reply. Well, tell you what Pink, I have been waiting for that letter from Santa for about 50 years and I don't think it is coming. I just wanted to explain to him about a little something that could have swayed the good or bad thing for that year. Why is that because your name is Pink you deserve an answer to your letter? Pink wrote her letter to the Queen because she was upset about the fur hats that her guards wear. Whatever your vies are on the subject, the thing that gets me is that this is just an example of where a celebrity thinks they are better than any of us. Does Pink think she is the only one who has written the Queen a letter about that? Did everyone else get a response other than Pink? Why is Pink so special? Just because you make some records, then suddenly your thoughts on an issue get more sway than the rest of the people in the world?

"It’s a bit rude that they didn’t reply, isn’t it? I don’t get why we can't question people just because of their position in society. I don't care if they have a crown. One or two Canadian bears are killed to make each hat and that is totally unnecessary."

When the Queen writes back every person who sent her a letter on the subject and ignores Pink, then I want to hear from Pink. I don't want to hear her whining or complaining about it until that day comes. Your opinion doesn't count for anymore than any other person no matter how big your head is. No one said you can't question the policy. I think any person should question any policy they don't agree with, but I don't understand how you figured them not replying to you is saying you can't question the policy.

Because of the snub, Pink has apparently decided not to play Prince William's birthday party. Well, that or because he hunts. She is kind of vague on the whole thing there. I admire her for standing her ground and holding to her principles. I just wish she wouldn't think that because she is a singer that somehow the world owes her an explanation before it owes us one.

Love The Idea - Not Sure I Would Watch

So, Jeff Probst of Survivor and FFF fame has been given the greenlight by CBS to film a pilot of a new show which is basically about giving a terminal patient their last wish and filming it all for television. Morbid? I don't think so. I do know they are going to go for the heartstrings. Jeff says that in addition to whatever wish the participant can come up with, they will also spend an hour getting to know the person, their family and anything else they can do to make us cry. I love the idea of giving someone who is dying their wish. Make A Wish is one of the best ideas ever conceived. I just don't know if I want to watch it happen every week. I think it will be a huge hit, I am just not sure I can watch it.

What I like about television or movies is the opportunity to escape from my own problems, life or drama and just get lost in a story for 30 minutes or a few hours. I'm not sure I want to spend the time getting involved in the problems of someone else. I could be wrong, and maybe I will watch along with the rest of you, but for now, I would just rather watch something that does not make me think or care or worry. One of the Executive Producers of the show comes from Extreme Makeover Home Edition and so you know that they will be going for tears and kleenex with every episode.

I'm Already Tired Of It

It has been just a few days since the Madonna and Guy Ritchie announcement and honestly, I am already tired of hearing about it. I don't care if they fight or if they are nice to each other. I don't care how much money he gets because it is more than I can even wrap my mind around. I don't care if they settled already or not. I do care about the kids and what they are going through, and do feel for David's father who has to watch all of this play out in front of him. I also know that I do not want to spend the next however many years of my life looking at one story after the other about who Madonna is dating. I especially don't want to read about whether Alex Rodriguez is with her or moving next to her or anything else. I understand he is a big deal in New York and that Madonna may have had something to do with the collapse of his marriage. Well, that and the strippers he took home every night.

Think about how tiring it is to read about Jennifer Aniston and who she is dating or not dating. Now, understand that is nothing compared to the endless Madonna stories we will be subject to each day. It has only been a week and already Madonna represents about 20% of all the gossip written. 20%? On one person. Of all the thousands of stories being written today, Madonna is in 20% of them. After today, unless it is something truly mind blowing, I am not going to be one of them.

What About The Llama?

So, when did you hear that Alec Baldwin was going to be on SNL in the opening skit? I think I heard about it on Thursday. Do you think that maybe since he had a few days to learn his lines he could have actually done so? I thought the sketch was the funniest of the bunch, but it kind of lost a lot of the impact because you kept watching Alec's eyes reading the lines and I wanted to reach through the tv and slap him. I mean Sarah Palin looked like she was the better actress just because she had memorized her lines. And the best actor in the skit goes to Mark Wahlberg. I guess he really was pissed at Andy Samberg because let's face it, Mark really isn't that great of an actor. Tina was brilliant. Enjoy. I tried to watch the show but the first or second skit was just awful and so I have no idea if they used the llama later or if that was how Alec was getting home.

"It Was Very Normal"

I don't usually go back and talk about events that happened on Fridays when I start writing on Monday's, but I thought I would make an exception for this one. Unfortunately on Friday by the time I heard about George Hamilton on The View, I was already on drink number four I think and there was no way I was firing up the computer.

Did you hear about George Hamilton talking about his autobiography on the show? Well, apparently besides giving tanning tips and how to keep alive a career with no discernible work for twenty years, George talks about an affair he had with his step-mother. She was about 30 and he was 12. George says it was perfectly normal and that he saw nothing strange in it at all.

"My father never knew about it. It was very normal. She didn't make me feel bad about it. Was I molested? Damn, I'm down for it again. But the bottom line is it didn't feel abnormal."

In what world is it very normal for a 30 year old to go around having sex with a 12 year old? I think that George Hamilton just has two sons, and from the sounds of it, he really wouldn't mind if they had been having sex since they were 8, and probably hired someone to make sure they did. One of his kids was with Alana Stewart who married Rod Stewart. Lets say, that instead of a boy, he had a girl and Rod Stewart who is 30 years old and George's daughter is 12 decide they are going to have sex. George is going to be ok with this? Hello no he wouldn't and all he is doing by going on The View and saying that he loved it was to encourage a bunch of 30 year old guys who are sitting at home watching The View because they have no job or life to find some 12 year old girl because it is very normal.

A 30 year old having sex with a 12 year old is a crime for a reason. It is not something to joke about or have fun with. I think it says a lot about the situation that George decided to have sex with the woman again when he was of age after his father had died. Normal again? I don't think so. Watch George laugh his way right through talking about the incident.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which handsome TV pin-up is secretly seeing two guys behind his unsuspecting girlfriend's back? The trio have been enjoying a string of sordid romps during breaks in filming...
