Four For Friday

#1 - This just confirms that this A list supermodel is in fact, an idiot. Our supermodel was seen making out and groping with some random guy in the corner of a party while her zillionaire boyfriend was nowhere to be seen.

#2 & #3 - This happy couple has been in this spot before, but now it seems as if they might not be a happy couple for much longer. Today must be idiot day, but this A list female singer and her celebrity husband are on the brink of divorce because our celebrity can't keep his pants zipped. Apparently he has been hitting the road and hitting on anything, male or female that has been crossing his path. His explanations and lies are wearing thin. This would be an even bigger idiot move than #1 up above. (Not Xtina)

#4 - This male teen star from a very hit 1990's television comedy is now doing gay porn to make a living. He was definitely on the cover of some teen magazines back in the 90's.

Random Photos Part One - With Reader Photos

Clint Eastwood gets the top spot today. Primarily he is getting it because the other possible candidates today have already been in the top spot and I can't remember if Clint ever has. Plus, he is like 100 and still looks great.
Adele - London
Aretha Franklin - New York City
So, I was on a flight last week and I could have sworn Ally Sheedy was sitting there. I was going to say something witty and then I saw the kids traveling with her and I said that isn't Ally. Not that funny, I know, but it is a mildly amusing anecdote that sounds frikking hilarious when you are half in the bag. Oh, and must not forget Jennifer Coolidge.
Ben Affleck has lost some weight. Even with his Silent Bob coat on he looks thin.
Billy Zane always looks kind of creepy to me. I had an argyle sweater like that once. Note to everyone. Fat men and argyle sweaters are not flattering. Especially with belly showing.
Speaking of belly showing, Cindy Crawford is showing a little skin here.
Not as much skin as Susie Feldman likes to show though. Pretty soon she is going to find someone more famous and rich than Corey and he will go bye bye. Now, I'm thinking of SNL and buh bye.
It really isn't fair that someone can be as good looking as Cheyenne Jackson and not even be the best looking guy in the photos.
How long have Elisabeth Shue and Davis Guggenheim been married?
It's about time for Danny Masterson and Bijou Phillips to get married.
And the newly divorced Dylan McDermott. I only put him in here because you like him. With him divorced it will mean less opportunity for me to see Shiva.
Now that Hilary Duff has a new album coming out she emerges from her hiding.
Love the glasses on Isla Fisher's baby.
The random photo of the day goes to Jane Kaczmarek and JJ Abrams.
Jaime King and Rosario Dawson. I like this photo.
I can't remember if Josie Maran has been in the photos before.
Jurnee Smollett gets to be in the photos because she added me as a friend on Facebook.
No wedding ring today for Kate Beckinsale. Interesting.
Tell me again why Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are dating.
Have you noticed that since Lily Allen gave up public drinking she has kept herself out of the tabloids. Amazing what some self discipline will do for your image.
Aaaah. The one and only Loretta Swit.
It has been several months since Marcia Cross has been in the photos.
Michelle Trachtenberg will be returning to Gossip Girl so don't worry.
Marlo Thomas does so much for St. Jude's. It really is amazing.
Speaking of wedding rings. Didn't Noa Tishby just get married?
OJ gets 33 years today. Will probably serve 17.5 years which most likely means he will die in jail.
The second most random photo of the day. Glen Close and Oprah.
Rick Fox looks terrible. He has aged like twenty years the past few months.
Reader Photo #1
And Reader Photo #2
Probably my favorite photo of the day.
Shawn Marion and Dwayne Wade. Hey Dwayne. Andre 3000 called and wants his sweater back.
This is not the same Suzanne Shaw from earlier in the year. Has she had some work done?

The best looking guy in show business. Taye Diggs.
So who hear thinks Tatum O'Neal is sober in this photo?
In my opinion Twiggy was the original super model.

Your Turn

In this week's edition, I will let all of you ponder the question of a lifetime. How do you eat an oreo? When I eat one I take off one end and scrape out the filling first. But, I know there are probably many of you out there who just eat it one bite at a time to get filling in every bite. Oh, and does Hydrox still exist? And who in the hell came up with a name that sounds like a chemical anyway? Yes, they probably are chemicals, but do you need to call it one?

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which well-built actor has been bought a bra for Christmas by a disgruntled ex as a dig about his moobs?

No Means No

I guess Boy George has learned the hard way that no means so. George was found guilty of one count of false imprisonment for handcuffing the escort he had hired to George's bed. Apparently this was because they guy had not want to have sex with George right when he laid eyes on him. The escort then got beat with a chain while handcuffed. I'm guessing George thought all of that was included in the price of admission so to speak. A jury thought otherwise.

Have you seen George lately? He is not exactly the picture of perfection. I think that anyone who makes their living as an escort must hate the idea of having to perform a sexual act with someone who is distasteful to them personally. I mean there is only so much that money can do to hide the fact that you are going to have sex with someone you would not even give the time of day to out in the real world.

I know they are getting paid for the act but I also think no still means no even in that kind of situation. George will be sentenced on January 16th.

Yeah Tom That's What She Was Going To Do

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes get all gushy about each other in the NY Times Magazine this week. When they do finally get divorced all this gushiness is going to even seem more ridiculous than it does now. Katie only manages to slip in 423 amazings to describe Tom. She must have been tired or something.

Basically it is just one big love fest. The kind we have been used to since Tom jumped on the couch or Katie went on Letterman and began her downward spiral. She doesn't have time to notice anything about the world or what is going on it though because she is "far too busy being a mom and an actress in a play everyday." Yeah, she looks busy. What with all that help taking care of the baby and the three hours she spends over at the theatre every night.

The most priceless quote? Came from Tommy himself. "I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her," he says. "After our very first date, I was sure. At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I cut her off by changing the subject. I wanted to ask her."

Yeah, Tom she was just dying to ask you to marry her. If it were in fact true, then I am sure Tom would have talked to her about it by now and the quote would have read differently to include the fact she was really going to ask him.

A. Reader Takes Issue With The Grammy Nominations

Dear Grammy Pickers,

Hi, me again. I know it's been awhile but you'll happy to know that I've finally recovered from that devastating blow that was the 1990 Grammy's. I've decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe that your omission of the ultimate boy band Nelson and their hit "(Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection," really was a simple oversight, as you explained. Though I'd be lying if I said I don't feel you are to blame for the band's demise and current popularity on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship circuit. I could continue but my therapist tells me it's better not to dwell on the past.

I woke up this morning with the intent to keep looking forward, continuing to take it a day at a time in hopes of preserving our already fragile relationship. Unfortunately, those dreams were broken faster than a paparazzi camera by Kanye with your announcement of the nominees in this year's Best New Artist Category. Adele? Good choice. Duffy? Love her. But I can only hope it's the fault of one too many egg nogs at the holiday party that somehow allowed the Jonas Brothers onto that list.

The Jonas Brothers. What, is the average age of the group of you that decides on this category age twelve? (Let's hope not or the amount of egg nog you are consuming is a bigger problem than I thought) You explain the qualifications for deciding on the category as this, "For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist." Ignoring the fact that this year's release was the THIRD album the JuJu Bes released (the first coming out in 2006, a whopping TWO YEARS before they were nominated as "new" artists), may I ask what it was that convinced you this album was "The One" for the Jingle Bells? Was it the earth shattering lyrics from their digital download hit, "Burnin Up": "I'm slippin into the lava/ And I'ma tryin to keep from goin under/ Baby you turn the temperature hotter/ Cuz I'm burnin up, burnin up for you baby?" Yeah, because nothing rhymes with "lava" like "I'ma!" Or perhaps their brilliant incorporation of modern day technology into the timeless tales of heartache like on "S.O.S": "So this is where the story ends/a conversation on IM." Wow. Just….wow. You're right. Songwriters like Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton could learn a thing or two about staying relevant in today's marketplace from these kids!

I don't think anyone, minus the thirteen year old girl who lives next door to me and probably won't lose her virginity til she's 35, bless her heart, would hold these boys in the same esteem as past category winners such as Bobby Darin, Carly Simon, The Carpenters, and…oh I don't know…THE BEATLES. Come on guys. It was a good one. I'll admit. You had me. Ha Ha. But April Fool's Day isn't for another few months and the only people who could consider this nomination an early Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa gift are going to be forgotten right about……..now. It's not too late to fill that hole in my heart that you left when giving Nelson the shaft. And hey, I hear Royal Caribbean is hiring…..

Still loving Matthew and Gunnar,

The Best Blog Ever

You will never guess who has started her very own blog. Well, actually since you saw the photo above, you probably have. Mischa Barton has her very own spot in cyberspace now and I will be a frequent visitor. In her very first post, Mischa takes on the tabloids because they assumed she was dating someone who she really isn't. I don't think she really cares they got the story wrong despite her protestations. I think what ticks her off is that she was relegated to some back page in the magazine where no one would be able to see her and had her dating a guy no one had heard of before.

Since there is only one blog entry it is tough to see if she is going to keep up with this or not. One thing is certain though. She is trying to sell the hell out of her bags and headbands. She devotes a lot of space to selling, but not too much to writing.

Oh, and it appears she doesn't have very many fans who are aware of her site yet. Or she doesn't have very many fans. Despite the post being online for almost two days she only has 13 comments. But the 13 comments are priceless. It is worth your time to read them.

Ted C Blind Item

There's a relentlessly infamous, many-talented star whose love life has been pretty notorious as of late. And for this reason alone, folks seem to have lost sense of the woman's far more dangerous goings-on: her drug intake. It's huge.

And like many reformed sisters in this chemically enhanced town, our mystery gal has tried to go cold turkey many times before. Never took, of course, even though she screamed to any tabloid that would listen that it did. Is it any wonder, then, that...

Morgan Mayhem is back in action, having advanced from the plain-Jane proclivities of booze and dope and coke? Yep, don't you know it, Morgan's right back where any addict goes, straight down: to smoking crystal meth.

Yikes.

M.M.'s beyond paranoid these days, too (at clubs, online, at events, never at a gig, natch, as the bitch is hardly working anymore), as is a common effect from crystal use. Her bodyguards know the drill, too, as they work double and triple shifts to make sure us commoners don't approach the strung-out babe in public, 'cause they know folks will know the drill once they have an interaction with her.

Too late. Morgan went off on some babes, including some who just happen to dish regularly at the Awful Truth. Bitch couldn't have been more methed out if she was playing Amy Winehouse in some kind of bad Lifetime job.

By the by, a psych teacher who used to work at a cushy, beachy drying-out tank teaches at LMU now. She was doing a whole segment about drugs and how they affect you, etc. She showed a picture of Morgan as an example of physical effects from using meth.

Now that's infamous. Not to mention pathetic, in the most academic sense of the word.

And It Ain't: Ashley Olsen, Whitney Houston, Courtney Love

Today's Blind Items

This barely serviceable singer from a barely serviceable group does have B+ name recognition while the group itself has probably A+ name recognition. Anyway, our singer has been throwing quite a few tantrums lately including walking off stage well before the set is over. Mostly these are because of her drug habit. Coke and meth are her drugs of choice. The bigger problem is that our singer is convinced that her significant other who is many times richer will take care of her if she gets kicked out of the group. Maybe, but some of the other girls he has been cheating with may not agree with her viewpoint.

Should I Watch This Show?

So, I'm doing my usual reading of hundreds of articles this morning and I briefly catch a glimpse that TLC is going to be airing a birth on their network. To me this isn't really big news because I thought they did that everyday with that Baby Story show. Is that still on? But, because I leave no stone unturned in my efforts to bring you the most trivial aspects of the world I saw that the episode in question was part of a show they already have on the air called 17 Kids And Counting. Apparently there is some guy named Jim Bob Duggar who has convinced his wife to have 17 kids and now an 18th. I don't know what he does for a living, but I'm guessing he could probably sell anything to anyone if he convinced his wife to have 18 kids.

From what I understand, they are not even stopping at 18, but are going to keep going I guess until Michelle Duggar just cannot physically have anymore kids. 18 kids? I notice in the photo above that all the kids are wearing buttons. Are they name tags? Can you imagine if each one of their kids had 18 kids? That would be one hell of a family reunion each year. You would have to rent out an arena. So, what do they do each show? There is no way they have time to focus on each of the 18 kids in each episode so I'm wondering what the focus is? Do the two oldest kids I see in the photo have no life because they are helping to raise the other kids? Any of the kids closet drinkers? Smokers? Is it worth watching?

Jessica Walter Talks About Arrested Development Movie

I am not one for using an interview some other magazine or site has already done unless I am snarking on it line by line, but I am going to make an exception here. Jessica Walter did an interview with the NY Post entertainment blog and it is just too good to not use here. No snark needed. If you are an Arrested Development fan this will get your juices flowing. It seems she also knows about as much as the rest of us about whether Michael Cera will return or not. I say if he doesn't do it he will regret it for a very long time. This film is going to be huge. Not maybe in the box office, but it will sell a million DVD's and everyone who is a true fan will always be talking about it. I think he needs to stop holding out for more money on the pretense that he is somehow protesting the show shouldn't be a film and just man up and be in it. So what if he doesn't get a huge role in it. It's for the good of the project.

Here is the portion of the interview where Jessica Walter talks about the film. To read about her role on 90210, and to watch her favorite scene from Arrested Development, click here.

PW: How much have you missed working on "Arrested"?
Jessica: Now there was a show! I do miss it, I miss the people and I miss the writing. Mitch Hurwitz ["Arrested Development" creator], so brilliant!

PW: How did you get the official word?
Jessica: They called me and asked if I was on board. It was like "duh!" No question whatsoever.

PW: Is it nice to be able to give people a definitive answer when they ask about the movie now?
Jessica: You know, it's funny - the longer the show was gone, the more people would ask about it. Normally a show fades from people's memories, but this one, for some reason hasn't.

PW: I think it's because people are still discovering it to some degree after hearing about it for so long.
Jessica: Of course, the DVDs do great and the die-hard fans watch it over and over. The thing about the writing on "Arrested" is that you could watch a scene three or four times and find different things each time - the writing was so layered.

PW: And the cast seemed to gel incredibly well, like a real family.
Jessica: It was a great ensemble, wonderful chemistry - I miss them all.

PW: I know the final season was a bit all over the place in terms of whether or not the show would come back for a fourth season, looking back did you know how much support the show had in the TV community?
Jessica: You know, we did to a certain degree. We were all curious as to what would happen, but I have to hand it to Fox - they kept us on for three years even when the ratings weren't there. Plus, we won an Emmy, Jason [Bateman] got a Golden Globe and Jeffrey and myself were nominated for Emmys - not winners, but still. We were blessed.

PW: Have you given any thought to where Lucille is following the finale?
Jessica: You know, I haven't. I have no idea and I don't know what the writers are going to do, what the story is.

PW: Considering how the show ended with cops storming the boat, Lucille could be in prison now...
Jessica: Oh god, I don't want to wear an orange jumpsuit!

PW: What else would you not like to see happen?
Jessica: I don't want Lucille to die. I really don't.

PW: Is that something you're concerned about?
Jessica: I don't know - but I'm worried about it and that would be the worst thing that could ever happen. I would die if Lucille died. Keep the Bluth's together - or separate and miserable, yelling at each other.

PW: Are you looking forward to having the gang back together again?
Jessica: It is exciting - how they'll ever get everybody involved together, I have no idea. Luckily that's not my problem.

PW: What about rumors that Michael Cera won't be returning?
Jessica: I don't know about that, but how about him? It's funny, he's the nicest, quietest, most laid-back kid - and he was on the show too. You just didn't think that this guy was going to be a huge movie star. He was so quiet, so non-showbizzy. I mean, I'm not surprised because he's so talented, but it happened so fast - within a year.

PW: Have you seen any of his movies?
Jessica: I saw "Superbad" and thought he was terrific. Oh, and "Juno" was wonderful. You know, Michael is very special. And he's just like George Michael in real life. He really is so adorable. I love him.

PW: OK, so Michael's like George Michael, but you are nothing like Lucille - where did this amazing woman come from?
Jessica: You know, we all have that in us - we all have those terrible qualities. People think it's hard when I've played murders or killers, but it's not, because as actors we get to tap into that rage and we're not ostracized for it. In "Play Misty For Me," I honestly didn't find playing that killer to be too difficult.

PW: Have you been given a timetable for the "AD" movie?
Jessica: I heard that they're aiming to start in spring/summer of 2009 - they still have to finish the script.

PW: And that is the most crucial detail since the Bluth's get to say the most amazingly horrifying things to one another - I know there are a lot of gems, but does anything stand out for you as a favorite line?
Jessica: One of my favorites, because it was so delightful, was this scene in a restaurant with Portia [de Rossi] and a waitress comes over and says something about a fried or smoked sandwich, and Lucille says something like "I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it." That was just so crazy and so real - this poor little blonde trashbox waitress - that was my favorite amongst many, many brilliant pieces of dialogue.

At Least We Will Learn First Hand About Collagen Injections

TV Land has given the greenlight to a new reality series starring Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, and their two children. Honestly I can't think of a more boring reality show. I guess they think it will do well because of the LA Law reruns but to me it is just a couple trying to stay relevant. I don't think their life will be interesting at all to follow. What are we going to do be watching each episode? A couple who spend more time unemployed than employed who probably take their kids to school and then sit around the house all day until it is time for Lisa's botox and lip injections.

Harry then drives her to the doctor or maybe even does them for her at this point. We can then watch her complain for a few minutes and then laugh when she tries to kiss her kids when they come home from school as she drinks her dinner through a straw. It will be fun to watch one episode of it but can't imagine a whole season of it.

Not Every Film Has To Be Remade

Apparently there are no more original ideas left in the world. It is bad enough that Hollywood is going to remake Ghostbusters, but now comes word from Fox that they have given the greenlight to a remake of Romancing The Stone. Why? The first film was just about perfect. To be honest, it wasn't the greatest script ever written, but it worked because the interplay between Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner was so good. You could feel their relationship. Danny Devito was priceless as the comic relief and so it managed to work. It worked well. I just don't think that you will ever get that kind of chemistry on screen again for that film. The sequel was awful and I think any remake would also be just as bad.

When I hear about things like this it makes me feel bad that there are thousands of writers churning out great scripts. Ideas that we have never seen before on screen and that we would love. Instead though, the Hollywood machine bypasses taking any kind of chance for the built in audience they think will be there for a remake of some popular favorite from the past. The problem is that almost all of the time people are just disappointed with the result and all they end up doing is going out and renting the original to see how good it used to be.

This Won't End Well

There sure was a bunch of baby news yesterday. Celine Dion said she and her husband were going to start trying for baby soon. Of course this would mean probably he would have to have sex with Celine so I think what she meant to say was that she will start trying to get her husband drunk off his ass every night so he can be tricked into having sex with her. Hey, all she has to do is pretend she is 16 again and he will be all over her.

Then there was the announcement by gold medal winner Kerri Walsh that she is pregnant, and got pregnant while in Beijing on the day after she won the gold medal.

So, with all of that pregnancy news in the air, to me it was the biggest shock ever to see that Anne Heche is pregnant again. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't her ex get full custody of their six year old son because according to the judge in the case, Anne was, how can I say this, not 100%.

I'm actually shocked that she is still with the guy she cheated on her ex with. Of course the guy she is with cheated on his ex to be with Anne so they probably deserve each other. I love this quote from Anne's boyfriend James Tupper in the Vancouver Sun. "I wish people could meet her in person. She has such a sparkle and such a love for people, and she works so hard. She is so dedicated to all the good things."

I want everyone to save that quote. When they break up, and they will break up, I'm going to pull that quote out from James and compare it to whatever he ends up saying about her when they break up.

Now all of you know I'm a romantic and I don't ever want anyone to break up except for the ones in my Valentine's Day predictions, but let's face it. Anne Heche doesn't exactly have the best track record when it comes to relationships.

Where Does That Go On A Resume?

One of the things about driving on the LA freeways is that they are so crowded that people do things here that you would never see anywhere else while driving in their cars. I have seen people eat entire meals while driving and talking on the phone. I have seen women putting on makeup, drinking coffee and talking on the phone. I have seen men putting on makeup while eating and talking on the phone. But, I have to admit that Robbie Williams talent for rolling a joint one handed while talking on the phone and driving I have never seen. That is one hell of a skill. I'm not sure it is one I would want advertised, but Robbie doesn't seem to care who knows.

He would also like everyone to know that his drug habit was so bad at one point that he once bought some pot or what he thought was pot, but was actually shaved shoe rubber. Didn't matter to him as he said he smoked it anyway. Now that's dedication.

"I've Never Posed Topless" - Safe For Work (Barely) - No Pun Intended)

Apparently when Michael Phelps new girlfriend went home for Thanksgiving, things were not that great. I don't know if you had a chance to see some of the modeling photos she did for Pimps&Ho's, but I guess the Phelps family didn't really think that much of it.

Now, Caz, as her friends like to call her has said that despite the evidence to the contrary that she has never posed topless. Apparently she has some kind of bizarre definition of what constitutes topless. She says you have to be able to see both breasts full on for it to be considered topless. Uh huh. Yeah, I'll remember that. I wonder how she defines sexual relations.

She also says that she is actually very conservative. Who is she kidding? Before working at the Palms she worked at a strip club in LA for like three years using the name Sapphire. Yeah, she is real conservative all right. In an interview with Norm Clarke who is the best gossip reporter around, she wouldn't actually admit yet that Michael has dumped her, but she also didn't do the whole we're together thing either.

Daily Mirror Blind Item

Which celeb is struggling to give up cigarettes but can't give up smoking drugs?

Today's Blind Items

This one is from the accountant.

This A list comedian with A+ name recognition apparently cant be bothered with parking meters or valets or parking garages. Instead he seems to get some kind of perverse thrill of accumulating as many parking tickets as he can. He always pays his tickets, but just hates looking around for a parking spot or finding change for meters. Thus he parks where he wants for as long as he wants. Total amount of money spent on parking tickets last year? About $40,000. That total includes being towed on average of about once a month when he parked in a fire zone. It also averages out to about one parking ticket per day for an entire year.

Michelle Williams looks really nice here. I wonder if she gets tired though of being asked about Heath everytime she goes to an event or out on the street.
Mark your calendars. Nicole Kidman actually looks nice. There. I said it.
Penelope Cruz on the other hand looks awful and I have no idea what the hell those chains on her dress are all about.

Heidi Montag's Mom Is My Hero

I am almost willing to buy an issue of US Magazine this week just so I can read the entire interview Heidi Montag's mom gave the magazine. Lucky for me I read quickly so I will just block access to the checkout line and read it standing up. Whenever I do that though it feels like you are doing something kind of wrong. Not enough wrong where it is ever going to stop me from doing it, but I know that if everyone just went to a book store and sat around and read books and magazines without buying anything but coffee, oh wait. OK, I don't feel so bad now.

Anyway, Darlene Egelhoff, who is Heidi's mom says she gives the marriage six months at the most. She also accuses Spencer Pratt of drugging Heidi before taking her down to Mexico. That is some really good stuff right there.

"He's manipulative and seems to have power over Heidi. I would like to see a blood test from Mexico. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had her drugged."

"I want the best for my daughter - and he's definitely not it. I think Spencer wants to possess Heidi more than marry her."

This is a woman who is not shy about sharing her feelings and you know that is something that is necessary to be the hero of the day. Of course laying into Heidi and Spencer really doesn't hurt her cause either. So, today, Darlene, you are the CDAN hero of the day. As hero of the day you are entitled to a home version of our game.

Your Holiday Awwww Moment Of The Day

I don't think I actually said awww, but it is still a precious holiday moment. Can I say precious and holiday moment all in one sentence like that without seeming like a Hallmark card? Anyway, this morning on Today, Harry Connick Jr. did a little duet with his 11 year old daughter Kate on the song Winter Wonderland. Left out of the spotlight and no doubt feeling neglected by their dad are Harry and Jill Goodacre's other two children Georgia and Charlotte who are 12 and 6 respectively. I'm sure they don't feel neglected but it would kind of suck if your dad only picked one kid to sing with him on national television. Maybe the other two can't hold a note, but it would still suck. Did I ruin the awww moment with that? Oh well. You can get it back by watching the video.

Take That Makes A Good Point

Because of the holiday weekend and my drinking activities, I didn't really pay as much attention to the X-Factor fallout from Britney Spears' performance as I should have. Take That which is a great UK group made a really good point when they called Britney's performance crap. X-Factor like American Idol is all about the singing abilities of the performers. Can you imagine if on American Idol everyone was allowed to lip synch? What would be the point of the show? It would be to find the best looking person who could pretend they were singing and they would always win. So, Britney, who is a superstar and thus should have the best voice is allowed to come on and not sing, it kind of ruins the whole point of the show.

"The truth is all the contestants on X Factor are so talented and were able to sing and dance live, so why couldn’t Britney do it? It’s the whole point of the show and her miming looked stupid."

I couldn't stomach the Britney documentary, but FW watched it and said that it was just one long plug for her new album and that Britney said that everyone shaves their head at some point in their life. Uh huh. Larry Rudolph of course said Britney was totally fine and normal and great. Ummm yeah. Larry? You were the producer of the show, had final cut and make your living off her. I doubt you would say anything other than that. Britney said she has seen life on earth at it's hardest. Oh, while she was shaving her head did she head off to Darfur and check out what was going on there? I would venture to guess that Britney couldn't even tell you what continent Darfur is on.

I wonder if it is possible if Britney is taking some kind of medication and they are interfering with her ability to sing and dance at the same time. Everyone I spoke with yesterday who watched that Good Morning America appearance all said she looked lethargic. I would too if you woke me up at 3am, but maybe she is taking medications. I do think though that until she actually goes out somewhere and sings with no backing track at all that anyone will really take her seriously. Right now she isn't any better than a Solid Gold dancer.

That Didn't Take Long

Apparently a few weeks of rehab was just what Blaaaaaake needed. He realized how much he missed drugs and so decided to go on a little binge. What a waste of life and space. Since he failed the drug test he now goes back to jail.

So, figuring he had nothing to lose he apparently showed up at the hospital of his beloved wife Amy Winehouse where he caused a ruckus. I don't know if he really caused a ruckus, but I have just always wanted to use that word in a sentence without sounding like a complete moron. I imagine the more correct term would be caused a disturbance as he broke into Amy's room and said he was sorry and blah blah blah. Now what he needed that money for from the interview. He probably already blew it all on drugs. So, now that little nest egg is gone you know he needs to rush to Amy's side and work that evil magic on her so she won't divorce him while he is back in jail. He's going to need her money more than ever. Of course he could have also been seeing how close she was to dying so he could guess if the divorce would take longer than she has to live and he would get all her money.

Can you imagine if she did die and he got all the damn money? You think Courtney Love has blown through Kurt's money? It will take Blaaaaaaake all of about five minutes to burn through Amy's money and sell every right to her music.

What Do You Think?

It appears that Roman Polanski is trying to get a judge here in California to dismiss the sex charge that Roman plead guilty to 30 years ago. Apparently his lawyers think that the recent documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted And Desired showed a "pattern of misconduct and improper communications between the court and prosecutors."

That may or may not be true. The problem is though that the judge who presided over the case is dead. Second, it doesn't appear Roman's lawyers have any new evidence other than what the filmmakers discovered. It was a film, and not evidence. You can make anything sound convincing with editing. Finally, Roman plead guilty. Their wasn't a trial. He plead guilty to having sex with a 13 year old girl when he was 45 years old. I don't care if the girl said yes. When a 45 year old girl has sex with a 13 year old girl, something is wrong. He didn't claim he was innocent. He plead guilty. He skipped the country while awaiting his sentencing.

From all accounts, in the intervening years he has behaved himself, but do we really know that? So Roman got to sit over in Europe for the past 30 years without paying any kind of penalty after he plead guilty and now he just wants the whole thing dropped like it never happened? Come on. There is a hearing on the matter on January 21, and I hope the judge shows some common sense and says no. What do you think? Should the state just drop the charges?

Knut Says Auf Wiedersehen

Apparently the world economy is not just hurting people, but now it has claimed its first polar bear as well. The Berlin Zoo says that in order to keep Knut the celebrity polar bear at its zoo, it would need to spend about $15M on a new habitat. They apparently don't want to pay that amount because the influx of tourists to see the bear and the cash that he generates is slowing down too much to justify the expense. Since Knut became famous about two years ago, the zoo has made about $12M off Knut merchandise. Now that it has slowed, they feel this is the right time to sell the bear to another zoo.

Umm, I'm a little uncomfortable with the buying and selling of zoo animals strictly to make a profit. Isn't the idea of a zoo to protect animals and to give them an environment where people can come see them who would otherwise be unable to visit them in their natural habitat. It also seems a little sketchy that they only made this decision after the money stopped coming in. If the bear generated $12M just in merchandise sales don't you think it would be best if you spent all that money on the new habitat? Guess not. Guess they want to blow it all on bonuses and a killer Christmas party.

Knut became famous when his mother wouldn't have anything to do with him after his birth. Knut's zoo keeper then basically became mom and dad to the bear and slept with him, fed him, and stayed with him almost 24/7. The bear's keeper died two months ago and so now the zoo wants to take the money and run.

This former A list R&B female singer was a really big thing back in the day. Well after she stopped performing so much she gained a few pounds. Well, more than a few actually. So, when she finally came back and did a new CD, she was a little concerned about the photo on the cover of it. The record label offered to airbrush the photo and make her look as skinny as she wanted to be. Well, she said no, and that she would just go ahead and get some photos taken on her own. A few weeks later the label got some photos of her in the mail. They were great photos. The problem was they had all been taken fifteen years and fifty pounds earlier. She insisted that the photos were taken all in the past week or so and those were the ones she wanted on the cover of the CD. With no choice in the matter, the label did as she said. Then she also decided that she couldn't do any concerts because if she did, people would see she looked nothing like the cover photo, so she did no promotion for the CD at all.

Something Is Right With The World

Just when you thought that the entire world was conspiring against you, there is some good news. Paris Hilton can't find a record label to release her second album. After her dismal sales on her first album, Paris was dropped by Warner Brothers and now no record label wants to pick up the slack. This statement by Paris might be the reason why.

"I'm figuring it out right now. I'm not sure which label I'm doing it with. I wrote all the songs, it's very dance, like Kylie Minogue."

Ummm. Paris wrote it all herself? I didn't think there were that many one syllable words in the English language. I'm guessing every song has the phrase, "That's hot." Does this mean she wrote the music also? Of course not so why in the hell would she say she wrote it all? Can you imagine Paris sitting down and writing lyrics to songs? "I went to a party last night. Everyone was looking at me because I'm the best. That's hot." Repeat that twenty times and you have her song.

What Do You Think?

This is probably going to be some kind of shock to everyone out there but I'm actually going to defend Tom Cruise for once. I know, I know. I promise the world is not ending. I promise I didn't have a stress test, and I'm not living in the Celebrity Centre. There has been some fuss over the past few days about Tom Cruise and Amazon and getting a book pulled from their site.

Here is what happened as best as I can determine. There is a great book out called The Complex by a man who was a Scientologist for 22 years and spent most of that time in SeaOrg. The book is primarily about those experiences. That book came out on October 31st.

About a week later, Tom Cruise showed up at Amazon to torture their employees with an advance screening of Valkyrie. Then, shortly after his visit, Amazon stopped offering the book for sale in the UK.

The statement Amazon released said that someone mentioned in the book was alleging they were defamed in it.

Of course no one believes that Tom Cruise had nothing to do with it, except for me. Oh, and Tom. Well even if he had nothing to do with it he probably thinks he did. Of course he thinks Valkyrie is going to be a hit, and that his wife looks hot dressing as a guy all the time so who the hell knows.

Anyway, if all of you will recall during the entire Andrew Morton period, that book was also barred from being sold in the UK. They have different laws than the US and so it is much easier to get a book pulled off the shelves there. The major flaw in the argument for all of the Tom Cruise haters is two fold. Why in the hell would Amazon listen to an almost washed up actor when it comes to their business practices, and Amazon stopped offering it for sale in the UK. You can still get it in every other country on the planet so I doubt it will affect sales much or the spread of information in the book.

I would love to go off on a Tom Cruise rant, but I think that if you are going to rant, you need to have a valid reason, and I don't think the protesters have one. What do you think?

Lindsay Lohan Idiot Watch - Day 3,452

Just when I thought Lindsay Lohan could not get more annoying she has found a way. She is apparently now fluent in Yiddish and she speaks about herself in the third person. She posted a note on her celebrity blog about how she has been getting so many e-mails from people wanting to know if she and Samantha are still together. So, of course she had to respond. Or, at least someone pretending to be her responded. Read it and see if you think Lindsay could honestly string together these sentences.

oy vey! rumors..

just to clear this up.. because i have been getting a lot of emails asking me this one question.

samantha ronson and lindsay lohan (me) are NOT breaking up

:)

take care
xxLL

Yeah, I really needed that clarification. Oh, and if you don't want to click over to her page, she is currently listening to "Happy Together." You want to know what I think? I think Lindsay Lohan thinks turtles are something that you see at an aquarium or the guy on Entourage. There is no way she knows the song, which leads me to believe someone with some music knowledge wrote it. Oh, who cares? Not me. But, you still want to have a really good time? Read the comments. They are better than on Kim Kardashian's site. Here is one of my favorites.


Woohoo!! What a great piece of news! Not to mention coming straight from you, Ms. Lohan, herself!...

I'm doing flips in my office room now!...My sub-ordinates would think that their 'boss' is kinda crazy right now but I.Don't.Care!!...I'm too happy - finally got to read/hear this piece of 'new' straight from you, Lindsay!

LLSR both looked so cute, adorable, SO-In-Love and seriously committed in regards to your relationship!...I am with LLSR all the way and wish you lovely girls would stay this way... Together...Forever. :)

Kisses to both of you! muah!muah! hehehe!

Take Care of each other well okay, Linds?

Stay well and strong, dear Linds and Sam. Luv You Both!

Still Like Hugh Jackman?

Below you will find a little clip of Britney Spears during her Good Morning America appearance earlier this morning. But, what I found more interesting was the way Hugh Jackman sang happy birthday to her. He has a really good voice. I'm not sure Britney had any clue who he is but at least she knows she lives in America. Took her awhile to figure it out, but she finally got there. Must be that old age setting in. Apparently Britney is going on a world tour. So, if you have a few hundred bucks sitting around and want to listen to Britney's records while she dances around pretending to sing them, then by all means spend your money. Wow. I can't believe she is 27. It seems like only yesterday that Ben Affleck was counting down the days until she turned 18.

Patrick Swayze Is Still Alive. Oh, And Mad

It seems that Patrick Swayze is a little upset. When you stop to think about he probably does have a good reason to be mad, but I think he is going about it the wrong way. In a statement he gave to Kneepads Magazine who dutifully recorded it as if it came down from the mountain on stone tablets, Patrick said that he is glad he finished the first season of his new television series. He then of course plugged it because honestly, even in a statement about your health you have to throw that plug in first.

He then basically slammed every single gossip outlet or tabloid that is reporting that he is dying and on his last legs and saying tearful goodbyes to his family. I could see how that would be tough. I mean here you are fighting one of the most aggressive forms of cancer and apparently keeping it at bay right now, yet everytime you go to the internet and look at gossip or open the pages of a tabloid someone says you are dying. I could see how that would make the battle more difficult.

I also know though that when you release a statement trying to pass it off as some news story when it is nothing more than a plug for your new show that you are somewhat of a hypocrite. I feel incredible sympathy for what Patrick and his family are going through. It is tragic, and I don't want anyone to think otherwise. However, when you start using the media for your own benefit, I think its fair to get something in return. I could very well be wrong but I don't recall him giving an interview about his condition. He certainly doesn't have to because it is his business. But, if he goes around doing a bunch of press for his show, I think it is wrong of him to expect the media to allow him that without being allowed to ask questions about his health and his condition. If he did that, then it would end the speculation about him, and he wouldn't need to feel like he is fighting an uphill battle against the disease and the world. It's a win/win.

Kirsten Dunst Has An Assistant?

You may or may not have seen the story yesterday about how Kirsten Dunst got a restraining order against an alleged stalker. I can't imagine why he would be stalking her, but apparently he has been found at her house several times over the past few months. Maybe he just wants his $2? Plus tip.

When I was reading the story, I just thought to myself that the guy could have done better with his stalking target. Hell, he probably didn't even need to stalk her. Just join a band and she will find you. But, what really shocked me was the fact that Kirsten has an assistant. What the hell does she need an assistant for? She does maybe one movie a year, and she doesn't seem to be in any kind of demand except for bachelor parties. Being her assistant must be the easiest assistant job in all of LA. Hell, the phone probably never rings except when Kirsten calls to make sure the phone really does work.

I think Kirsten just feels she makes enough money where she is expected to have an assistant. Probably she feels it is also better to have someone go out and buy her cigarettes and booze so that way she can pretend she is far too busy to do those kinds of "everyday people" things.

Come back from a few days off and the next thing you know the voice mail light is blinking and you have a great piece of scoop. Great scoop. I can't write scoop without thinking of ice cream. Damn. Hang on a second. Here is the one thing you must get when you have your own office. One of those little refrigerator/freezer things. I slide it under the desk and then when you need a little something like Ben & Jerry's during the day, its right there. If I had a microwave in my office I swear I would live here. It sucks when your office is nicer than the place you sleep. Just makes me want to bring a cot. Plus they have more channels on the cable here and free internet. Oh, and the rent is free. This really isn't a bad idea.

Anyway, this married NBA All Star took a little time away from the family this weekend to play his own version of Santa Claus. No, this isn't a kindness. Apparently he and one of his long time friends got a suite this weekend and invited a gaggle of strippers. Our basketball player dressed as Santa, minus the pants and invited each of the strippers to sit on his lap. Yep. Each one got a turn with Santa and then his friend who didn't dress up. Seems kind of a waste of a good theme. Anyway, the strippers stayed for several hours until Santa and his friend were completely satisfied and finished spreading their holiday joy. Then Santa went back home to the wife and kid/kids to spend some quality time with the family.

Angelina Doesn't Cook

You know I'm always a fan of celebrities who don't pretend they can cook. My love for it is such that I will ignore the fact that Jamie Oliver is coming out with a new magazine with his name on it. Yeah, yeah we know it's you Jamie. Couldn't come up with something else? I guess it is so everyone in the world won't mistake his cooking magazine for one of the other million cooking magazines out there. He doesn't call it a cooking magazine though. Says it is not really about recipes. Uh huh. I think the first issue has about 100 recipes in it so he may want to rethink that talking point.

I mean why on earth would anyone really want to buy it? Do we want to know what Jamie thinks about the world? Is he going to give us a learned discourse on global economics each issue? He's a chef. It's going to be about cooking. Just because you can call a pal and have him talk about what meals he likes to cook doesn't make it anything other than a cooking magazine.

Anyway, in the first issue which comes out on Thursday, Jamie interviewed Brad Pitt. Jamie asked about Angelina Jolie and what the best meal was that she ever cooked Brad. According to Brad, the best thing she has ever made is cereal. Wow. Not even toast. Just a bowl of cereal out of a box. It's good to know the family is starting out with a healthy breakfast each morning though instead of the chicken and waffles I eat every morning. Sure, it makes me sleepy right up to the lunch hour, but there's nothing like grease and syrup to get your day started off with a bang.

For next month's issue, Jamie has an interview with Billy Bob Thornton where Billy Bob talks about the gourmet meals Angelina cooked for him. They never got around to dessert though because Angelina just couldn't keep her hands off him.

Stick With Snack Foods And You'll Be Fine

In every new relationship a couple spends time learning about the likes and dislikes of each other. They also learn new activities to better enjoy the company of each other. It could be tennis or bowling or gardening. Perhaps even karaoke. I mean what couple doesn't like to go out every Friday night and get dressed in their going to meeting clothes and singing along to the best of Air Supply while sipping on wine coolers. Aaaah. Good times.

Anyway, apparently when Blaaaaaaaaaake and Amy Winehouse got together he really didn't have a lot of activities. Amy taught him some music, and how to make a beehive and he taught her, well the one thing he was good at. Crack and heroin. See, if he had just stuck with your basic snack foods to introduce her to, we would all be listening to Amy on a brand new album. Instead, she is laying in a hospital. It's a good thing medical care in the UK is free because I think by now in the US she would have gone over her lifetime maximum. Of course that presumes also that she will have more of a lifetime. I'm really thinking this could be something more serious. I guess because it is World AIDS Day, it is on my mind, but do you think she could have AIDS? I mean it isn't like I can see her and Blake going out and making sure they have clean needles each time they use. When you are that far gone I doubt you are going to stop so you can run down to the drug store and get some new syringes. Plus she cuts herself so there is always blood everywhere. Would you be really just shocked if she had AIDS? It would explain all the lung infections and things like that.

Of course Blaaake could be making all of this up as well. I mean he said he doesn't want any of Amy's money. He will when he realizes that the money he got from the News Of The World for his interview will probably be the most he gets for talking about Amy. When he realizes that he will suddenly feel he should be compensated for slowly killing her.

John Travolta Is Full Of Crap

Think John Travolta has an ego? This is what he said on a red carpet the other day. He said that by turning down the role in Green Mile he gave Tom Hanks his career. That Tom basically owes him for the success Tom has.

"Green Mile I probably should have said yes to. But I gave Tom Hanks a career! What you turn down can be a gift to someone else. There is enough to go around."

You would think that he was joking until you read about the fact he really thinks it was a gift. OK, a couple of things John. Green Mile was in 1999. How many Academy Awards did Tom Hanks already have before Green Mile came out? Also, I'm not sure that the film is really career making. A great role for sure, but I'm not sure if it is something that would make or break a career.

Now, here is another piece of reality for you John. Do you actually think the producers would take you over Tom Hanks? Do you think they came up with their dream list and you were above Tom Hanks? Honestly? You really believe that? I don't know what they have everyone smoking over at the Celebrity Centre, but you need to share that because anything that can make you believe your own hype like that is some good stuff. Apparently Tom Cruise must be smoking it too.

I just can't stop laughing. I can't believe he seriously thinks he made Tom Hanks' career. Maybe he just took a long nap from the late 80's and slept through the 90's.

Isn't That Interesting

You know I dislike talking about any and all things Madonna when it comes to her love life. Just doesn't interest me. I know it probably interests lots of you, but if you want to obsess over her love life, then obviously you are going to find better sites than here. However, just because I don't want to talk dirt about her love life doesn't mean I don't want to talk about other things relating to her.

Like how this past week when she played in Miami, she and her brother hung out together all night. Now, let me ask you this. If your brother just got done writing a best selling book based on trashing you, don't you think that perhaps you might want to have some quality time apart. Of course if you believe my theory about how Madonna and her brother worked on the book together and released it in time for the beginning of her tour then the hanging out together makes a lot more sense.

Something about that book and the timing and everything has never sat right with me. Madonna's brother always said he had juicier stuff but the publisher's attorneys said no because they didn't want to get sued. Umm, if it's true, then you have nothing to worry about. The reason they didn't publish it is because Madonna was only willing to go so far in the trashing of herself.

Maybe She Likes Cake

I will say one thing for Lindsay Lohan. She's stubborn. Or I guess she could just be an idiot. Yeah, I think most of us would probably go with the latter. Remember a couple of weeks ago when Lindsay and Samantha Ronson were walking into a club and Lindsay got pelted with flour for wearing fur? Yeah, of course you do because we all vividly remember anytime Lindsay gets embarrassed. Does that mean we are bad people? Some celebrities got married over the weekend and no one really cares, but throw some flour on Lindsay Lohan for wearing fur and we love it. Actually, she didn't really need to be wearing fur. I think we would have all loved it anyway.

Well, Lindsay was spotted walking into a club here in LA, and guess what? She was wearing fur again. Either she just grabbed the first thing she could stumble into when she was leaving home or she and Samantha have some kind of weird covered in flour kind of fetish going on that both makes them hot. Yeah, I'm going with the stumbling and bumbling and mumbling theory and she grabbed it.

I would think though that being doused in flour would even get through the most addled of minds no matter your condition and you might not want a repeat performance. Of course, since nobody cares about her, maybe it was her intention to get doused so people would talk. Oh, and with all of her fur loving going on, I am more and more convinced she actually did take that woman's fur coat from that nightclub despite what Lindsay's people said. The photo above is from her London trip and is not the fur coat she was spotted in this past week.

I Wouldn't Want To Talk About It Either

In the next issue of Vanity Fair, Tina Fey finally explains the origins of her famous facial scar. Actually she didn't do the explaining, she left it to her husband and let Tina fill in the blanks.

"It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen."

Apparently it wasn't a pen, but rather, a knife. This was when she was five years old. Can you imagine someone just going to up to a five year old kid and slashing them with a knife? I sure as hell wouldn't want to talk about it either. Then to be the center of attention and have the question asked repeatedly and people speculate, just brings that memory back all the time.

You can tell that Tina's husband Jeff Richmond loves her with this quote about it.

"That scar was fascinating to me," Richmond says. "This is somebody who, no matter what it was, has gone through something. And I think it really informs the way she thinks about her life."

For her part, Tina says she never really thought about it much or thought it was unattractive until she got on television. At that point she said she started thinking about which direction she should always face the camera.
