Full Frontal Friday is back. Kind of. Many of you have been kind enough to send in photos and links and so I am accumulating some photos again. Meanwhile, here is a mix of FFF and just some photos of these guys from above without any shirts on. If you have been watching Confessions Of A Teen Idol on VH-1, then maybe you would like to see what these guys looked like when they were teen idols. Take a look right here.
#1 - This former female reality star was one of the first to actually make a living at it for a short while. Both a network reality star and cable reality star, she was always known for using her looks to try to get guys on the show. Well, she is about to come out.
#2 & #3 - This B+ list film actor who has been in a very hit movie didn't even wait until he was in his car last night to tap a line of coke out on his wrist. He just went ahead and did it while waiting for his car to be brought around. He was kind enough to ask if anyone else wanted to join him. Everyone declined to join him then, but he did manage to snag this B- list award nominated film actress to take a ride with him.
#4 - This former B- list television actress and sometime film actress who was not shy about taking off her clothes took so many drugs and drank so much champagne on New Year's Eve that she spent a good three hours throwing up before announcing she had to get home to her kid/s, whereby she took about three steps and passed out for the rest of the night.
Patrick Swayze has been admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. That doesn't sound very good, but I hope he makes a complete recovery and gets out soon.
A very highly requested guy from all of you is Aaron Eckhart. Here you go. And, as a bonus you get inside his jacket. Kind of. In a two dimensional kind of way. Not in a groping kind of way. Although what you do with your imagination is completely up to you. I don't judge.
Before Angelina Jolie gave Anne Hathaway the stink eye.
I don't think Ali Landry is in the photos enough. In fact, I'm not sure she has been in the photos.
Brad Pitt kind of looks like he just rolled a seven at the craps table. I don't know what that means either, but it is a strange look. Of course from all the martini glasses I saw on his table in a different photo, this look might just be him saying to himself, "damn I'm drunk. Hope we don't end up with another baby."
Never get to see enough of Blair Underwood.
For those of you who love Christian Bale, this was all I could find of him. So, you will have to make do with Christian sharing some space with Ron Howard.
It is like looking at one of those AT&T billboards where they use things and people as bars.
You know you don't like someone when you don't even like the way they stand. Evan Rachel Wood is just such a person for me.
Franz Ferdinand - Brisbane
Freida Pinto looks lovely.
Yes, those really are pajamas. And yes, she really was lazy enough to wear them to a premiere.
It kind of looks like they are going to make a Three Musketeers movie.
It's a Duggar. They want a huge family. That's a shocker.
The random photo of the day goes to Jay Chandrasekhar and Adam Duritz.
Although Kirsten Dunst at Disney is pretty damn random too. She actually looks good.
I don't know if the lens was messed up or what, but I am hoping that it was and that Katy and Amanda have not recently turned into fun house mirrors.
I don't think Kevin Sorbo has been in the photos before. I think I would remember a guy who has an ear shaped like a boot.
Laura Dern. Just because.
Good news. Paula's dog is still alive. Scared and wanting to run away, but alive.
At some point do you think Phillip Seymour Hoffman says, "maybe I should shave."
Did Richard Gere gain like ten years in a week?
It's Lloyd at the Dewars party.
First they get actors like Michael Katish to drink
and then embarrass them by asking them to putt.
Like Jordan Belfi even cares what the color is or that it has hints of the earth or cherries. He just wants to drink it.
Rachel McAdams on the set of Sherlock Holmes.
Rumer Willis trying to get some free diamonds for Sunday.
And the latest craze in the UK. Cajun Squirrel chips. Yumm.
The Grates - Brisbane
Hopefully Zac Efron bought some pants that fit.
If you thought the toilet paper one was trivial, you are really going to enjoy this one. I'm not sure how much more simple a question can be.
Bath or Shower?
Oh, and in case you are curious. Just ask yourself if you can envision a 400 pound man trying to climb out of a wet, slippery bathtub and you will have your answer. Although, if it was filled with $240 worth of pudding, I might. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go whisper some sweet nothings.
Tom And John - I almost subtitled it A Love Story, but thought it would be wrong. Fun, but wrong. Anyway, I have now watched the entire View thing which was teased constantly yesterday. What I got out of it was that Tom and John don't speak very much. That Tom tried to show how close they were by mentioning he did Jerry Maguire with Kelly ten years ago and that he had not seen Jett with John since Jett was a few months old. Other than that there were a lot of "umm's" and some puppy dog eyes and nothing much else to be said about the death of Jett or Scientology. Here is the link to watch the videos. You have to read between the lines to see all the points I made above, but see if you don't agree with me. I don't think they were close at all.
Lillo Brancato Jr - Everyone always mentions this guy's Soprano's connection but did they watch "A Bronx Tale?" That was a great movie. Anyway, the former actor was acquitted last month of murder, but today got sentenced to ten years for attempted burglary. I think he has been in jail for the past three years while this was all going on so he probably will get out much sooner than ten years. He said during the trial that he was hooked on drugs and got hooked on them from almost the first day of filming A Bronx Tale when he was just 15 years old.
I Believe I Can Get Divorced - OK, so it doesn't quite have the same ring as I Believe I Can Fly but, who knew R. Kelly was even still married? Apparently he was because his divorce just became final. His now ex and he were trying to make things work. Umm, I know you have three kids together, but when you saw the video of him for the first time with the girl/woman don't you think you probably would have been out the door? How about when you heard about all the others? How about when he started looking at your kids in a funny way? Why did it take this long for her to get out?
Wilmer & Pink - According to the National Enquirer, Pink and Wilmer Valderrama basically got drunk together and implied they had a one night stand. I'm thinking that if you spend one night with Wilmer you are feeling it long after one night, and I'm not talking about a size thing here. I really thought Pink had just a little more self-control. I mean this is Wilmer Valderrama we are talking about here.
In my never ending quest to try and bring you different things to keep you amused throughout your day, I have been working on something for Monday for you. If you recall, on Reveal Day I introduced you to Adrianna Costa who, besides being the only person I know who can sit next to me while I am eating and actually enjoy it, is the red carpet reporter for the TV Guide Channel for the Golden Globes. Well, apparently she liked her time here. So, on Sunday she is going to do a little diary of her day complete with pictures. I'm hoping it will be fun to see and read about for all of you. I really appreciate her taking the time to do this for us on a day that is to say the least, pretty damn busy for her. So you can watch her on tv on Sunday night, and then read about what really happened right here on Monday.
Which mega-athlete got duped by his wife? She swore she was on the pill but wasn’t, and that led to an unexpected bundle of joy.
The wonderful people over at NY Magazine had quite the little discover this morning when they went over to the website for The Golden Globes. They found this little addition to the list of nominees. Lucky there is the screenshot invention or we may have never have known in advance who was going to win Best Actress. Now, I'm sure the people over the Globes have an innocent explanation like they were just testing out the website to make sure it would work on Sunday night when the winners were announced. I mean there is nothing but integrity when it comes to their nomination process or who the winners are. Right?
Do they even have one of those independent accounting firms doing the tabulation? Somehow I don't think they do. I think the members of the organization just sit around and wonder who they would like to meet and make sure they win. I mean is a winner really going to say no to an exclusive interview with one of the "journalists" if they win? I think not.
I would actually be willing to buy the whole working on the website theory. I just think they are going to be in one world of hurt though if Anne Hathaway does turn out to be the winner because then everyone will think the whole thing is rigged somehow. It probably isn't, but if she wins there will not be enough things they can say or do to ever change that perception.
If she does win, don't look for Angelina Jolie to ever attend again. Angelina looked seriously ticked off last night when Anne beat her out at the Critic's Choice awards. I mean like ticked off enough that Anne should definitely go to the bathroom with several friends.
So, what do you think? Is the fix in? Are the people over at the Globes wondering if they should change the winner if it is Anne? Did they goof or is it just an innocent little mistake? Does Anne even deserve the award if she does win?
Remember after Ryan O' Neal and Redmond O'Neal got arrested for that whole drug possession thing? Sure you do. I mean how often is it that a father and son get to bond like that? That is world class bonding. Spending time together in jail can only bring a family closer together.
Anyway, at the time, Ryan's lawyer spun this little yarn about how Ryan was just trying to keep the drugs away from Redmond.
"The drugs found in Ryan's bedroom were Redmond's. He had confiscated them from Redmond. He was trying to keep them away from his son."
Uh huh. Well, today Ryan plead guilty to felony drug possession. He was sentenced to of course no jail time, but had to promise the judge a signed Farrah Fawcett 70's poster. Yeah, that one. For those of you not born in the 1970's, Farrah was. Oh never mind.
Ryan got an 18 month drug deferment program which means that if he goes to the meetings and doesn't get busted with Redmond's drugs in that time the case will be dismissed against him. Yep, no jail time and it will be like it never existed. Meanwhile, you or I, or any of the "everyday people" of the world would be getting to know our new cellmate.
This is a tale of two Jennifer's so I will try not to confuse you. Jennifer Connelly which is the good actress in our tale gave an interview to Harper's Bazaar in the UK about her new film. I'm not going to plug it because, hell, it is going to be all over everywhere soon, so if you want to see it you can find it. Anyway, Jennifer C filmed this movie with another Jennifer, this one with the last name of Aniston. So, Jennifer C goes into this big production in the interview about how she loved, loved, loved Jennifer Aniston.
"I thought she was such a sweetheart. I've always thought she was very talented and lovely, warm, generous and after the film, I thought, 'Ooh, I want to be her friend. I want to hang out with her.'"
Jennifer C admitted to the magazine that she and Jennifer don't hang out and never have. So, why on earth would you just say the line above? It is like they have to convince the world that everyone got along great on the set and that it was the best experience of their life and that everyone held hands and stood in a circle at the end of filming each day and gave each other a little shoulder massage.
It is only after a couple of years removed from the movie and a bottle of booze in your hand that the real story comes out.
If you get along with someone at work really well and love being with them, you know you are probably going to go ahead and get a phone number from that person so you can call them at home. This is of course not true if the person is your office spouse and they have four kids and a jealous spouse at home. Let's just say lesson learned and leave it at that.
But with Jen and Jen there should be no such limitations, so I'm guessing they hated each other and that Jennifer C thought she was better than Jennifer A (which she is) and was probably ticked off that Jennifer A was getting paid ten times as much to be there (which she probably was). But both of them know how to play the game and will throw out fake smiles and air hugs and the whole world will just want to hang out with them too. Oh, and you can do it for $10 at the movie theatre please.
I will say one thing about the French. Say what you will but they have been giving some good gossip lately. I don't know who in the hell most of these people are, but they are really good stories though. So, last night this French actor named Samy Naceri. Yeah, I have never heard of him either but apparently he is 47 and has won some awards, most recently for a movie named Indigenes for which he won Best Actor at Cannes. So, that is kind of a big deal. I mean it is not like he had forever to live down a role in Another 9 1/2 Weeks. Oh, yeah. Wait. He was in that too.
Anyway, Samy went to a bar last night and met his ex-girlfriend and one of her girlfriends. Apparently some things were said and instead of hashing out in public in front of everyone the three of them decided to go into a bathroom together. Hey, I don't know if they were going to have some kind of make up sex Russell Brand style or what. Anyway, while the three of them were in the bathroom, the two women called a guy on the phone and he came over and then went into the bathroom too. By this time of course the patrons were just using the alley or the front sidewalk as their urinal.
When the guy showed up, our actor proceeded to take out a knife and stabbed him. Our actor then went home. Umm. Yeah. Usually when you stab someone, the police come find you. They found Samy at home and arrested him. However, he didn't have to go to jail. Nooo. Apparently Samy has a liver problem so they just took him to the hospital instead. The police did charge him with attempted murder though before they asked for his autograph. I'm guessing he knew he was going to use that knife that night. Either on his ex-girlfriend or someone.
The stabbing victim is fine and managed to have a glass of wine and have sex with both women before he went to the hospital.
I remember Pete Doherty and Kate Moss. When I first started doing this blog, they were the Amy Winehouse and Blaaaake of their day. It seemed like everyday there was a new scandal and a new arrest for Pete. No jail time of course. No, I have decided that whoever he managed to sleep with when he was turning tricks in the past must have come through for him all of the times when he was arrested because no one has that many lives. I mean Blaaaaake punched a guy and it seems like he has been in jail for fourteen years. Pete literally could give DMX a run for his money in arrests and still never does any time.
Anyway, Pete is longing for Kate Moss and wants her back. I bet he does. Pete has probably learned over the past year that those little paper tags hanging off of clothes are a price and that someone needs to pay what is on that tag. With Kate, he just sat back and let her pay for everything while he drugged her cats and scared her kid.
I knew Kate had some money but she must have a fortune from modeling that must have compounded daily or something. According to some of the UK reports, Kate spent as much as $500K for the two week vacation to Thailand. That is like $100M anywhere else. She paid for the entire vacation for six people, including a $45K dinner tab. Oh, and there were only four people at dinner. Do you know how hard it must be to spend $45K at dinner at a Thai beach resort. Did they have the 24K gold coconut ice cram for dessert or something? When you got a bill for $45,000 after dinner would you say to yourself, "you know, in a week or so I won't even remember this dinner and it is more than most people around the world make in a year?" Yeah, I don't think she thought that either.
I honestly don't care what people spend. They earned it and if they want to spend it on meals, it is their choice. That is like $10,000 a person for dinner. That blows my mind. Obviously fashion modeling pays well. Forget being a teacher to kids, go do some heroin, look like a waif and make a few million.
Wow. Nicole Kidman just threw a grenade and burned some serious bridges. It isn't like she was getting a lot of work anyway. With her outrageous fee for a film and her history of turning any project into a glorious bust, the last thing she needs to do is tick the people off who might give her a job in the future.
Nicole was on a radio program in Sydney talking about the movie Australia. She told the station, "I can't look at this movie and be proud of what I've done." She then went on to say that she never has seen herself in any movie except Australia and Moulin Rouge which is a lie because I guarantee you Tom made her watch Far And Away with her. Guarantee it.
"I don't usually see my films, but because of Baz I had to see it," she said. "I saw Moulin Rouge. I've really only seen that and this in my whole career. It gets worse as I get older."
It gets worse for all of us Nicole. She did praise Hugh Jackman and Brandon Walters but said she could not connect to the film at all. When an actress says something like that, they are blaming the director. Baz is the guy who has actually given her work when no one else seems to want to. He probably fought for her and paid her outrageous fee when everyone else probably laughed and now she is throwing him under a bus.
Good luck ever working with him again or anyone else. It isn't like she isn't used to movies tanking, but I guess someone finally explained to her that maybe she was the reason they were tanking and so she needed to blame someone else so the money train would keep rolling. So, she decided to blame Baz. Nice. If the movie had made Titanic money she would have been thrilled with her performance and wondered where in the hell her Oscar nomination was. The best thing that could happen is Baz goes and makes another movie that does Titanic money with a different leading lady and Nicole is forced to do Days Of Thunder 2.
Crescent Kumquat sure has many swooning ladies—and drooling gents—wondering which way this young hunk swings. His precious looks seem far too well-groomed to be that of a sports-watchin', belch-providin', crotch-grabbin' hetero fella (well, his crotch, at least).
We've heard many stories of Cres' femme conquests, raunchy, watery and fairly athletic hookups to be exact. But even Toothy Tile's been known to dabble in dames from time to time, if that says anything about Cres-Cres' not-so-straight ways. And if Mr. Kumquat's more frequent nightly habits are at all telling, we've got bad news for the horny-for-Crescent gals out there:
See, Cres loves to go out and party. Yeah, so what, who doesn't at his age? A few drinks turn into a lot more, and before ya know it, dude's libido leads him every which way—par-tick to the bedroom, or whatever comfy surface he can park his luscious, long...limbs on.
Often with a bunch of like-minded (and beautifully skinned) boys 'n' girls. But guess what? Despite C.K.'s female kiss capades with other gals of his status, Kumquat's often found after these debauched nights out waking up in the arms of his "very close" guy friends. Spooning. Friggin' entwined, folks. In front of the gals he was supposedly getting all debauched with the night before.
This certainly is as telling and de-lish a plot development as Crescent's day job churns out, I'll tell ya that much.
And It Ain't: Adrian Grenier, Penn Badgley, Kellan Lutz
I hate writing this blind item. I hate it. But, there is a lesson to be learned. Listen to the entire voice mail. Do not assume you have heard it all and then hang up, because there could be a BUT, and then more of a message. So, if you read the entire blog yesterday this will be very easy. Seems that a certain married B list actor decided to go to a bar with a friend of his and while at the bar spent a considerable amount of time hitting on a foreign exchange student and tried very hard to get her phone number. He did not succeed, but it was not for a lack of effort. Oh, and the foreign exchange student was a woman.
Yeah. I don't know how Chazz Palminteri and Christine Lahti ended up on top, but I like them both so it is not a bad thing. I believe it might be the first time in the photos for Christine.
Bryan Adams - Fort Lauderdale, FL
I hate to spoil the suspense if you don't know, but Carrie Underwood won a People's Choice Award. Which people were voting exactly?
Over the past two weeks I have seen enough AnnaLynne McCord to last me a lifetime. It will be a long time before she is back in the photos. I only put her in today because it seems that every dress I have seen her in the past few weeks has been exactly the same. What do you think she is 75 or 85 pounds tops?
I know how much all of you love David Boreanaz, so here you go.
I just have never been a fan of the ascot, but it is David Charvet's life. Brooke Burke has had what, 10 kids and she looks like that? She looks great.
It has been awhile since Dakota Fanning has been in the photos. Next.
This was actually going to be the top photo because I don't know if I have ever seen a random photo of David Letterman where he was at an event and got his photo taken.
Ed Begley and his wife made it to the awards on time but left late last week from their home because his car runs on wind power. When it is calm, he relies on the generosity of people on the street to get behind his car and blow.
Ellen looks great, but has she lost some weight?
Eric McCormack does not age. Don't know if it is genes or botox but he doesn't get any older.
For reading lines off a teleprompter, Gavin Rossdale still sounded pretty good last night presenting an award.
Typical Friday night in my basement.
Another actor most of you love is Hugh Laurie who is joined here by Robert Sean Leonard.
Heidi Montag is already one of the lowest forms of life on earth, but to have your nails painted with the Chanel logo is just so tacky, wrong, and just shows what a great waste of space Heidi is. I just don't know if someone could do something more obnoxious.
Iman on the other hand is nothing but class. Seriously. Look at Iman and then look at Heidi Montag and you can see how shallow and classless Heidi is compared to someone like Iman.
Jennie Garth looks great.
I hope you saw where Jay Mohr legally changed his name to Jay Cox Mohr. No, not Jay Mohr Cox. Get your minds out of the gutter.
The good news was that Kathy Hilton managed to keep the "everyday people" six feet away from her at all times. The bad news was there was no coke for her to crawl on the floor looking to snort.
Kate Hudson looks like a drunk mess. I listened to her acceptance speech last night though, and she was acting goofy but can't tell if she was hammered or not.
Aaaah. Velvet on Liam Neeson.
Velvet not worn as well by Robin Williams, but still velvet so he still makes the photos.
I can't tell if Ed Westwick is wearing velvet, but he looks good and it is close so he gets in.
Even Marisa Tomei looked beautiful last night.
"Yeah, yeah. I shaved the beard."
First time in the photos for Paula Marshall I think.
The Queen looking lovely as usual.
I want to see the birth certificate. I guess the baby had to stay in the hospital and so this is mommy bringing the baby home.
Rob Estes is another guy who doesn't age. Damn he looks good. Just give me like one day looking that good. I would actually be able to go to a bar that had lights.
Apparently Ross McCall stole the awards tickets from Jennifer Love Hewitt as he was walking out the door.
Probably one of the best candid photos I have ever seen of Reese Witherspoon.
Travis Barker and DJ AM back playing together again.
I'm actually surprised by this photo of Teri Hatcher because I didn't think it was possible for her to make facial expressions anymore.
Tegan & Sara - Sydney
Verne Has A Way With The Ladies - I love reading he transcripts from Celebrity Big Brother. Apparently Verne has started drinking again and so as a result he is feeling a little frisky with the ladies. This is what he had to say while talking to two of the women in the house.
“I know how to make a woman feel like a woman. I know the spot. I can make every girl here very happy. I can show you if you like. There is nothing worse than being with a boy who doesn’t know what he is doing in the bedroom.”
When one of the women said she had a boyfriend, Verne said, that she probably should try something different.
Taylor Lautner Will Be Back - In one of the best stories I have seen in some time, an actor did everything possible to keep his role in the Twilight franchise. From the time they stopped filming Twilight, Taylor Lautner has been working out like a mad man to try and keep his role as Jacob. In the second book he grows a foot and adds like 30 pounds of muscle. Taylor didn't get any taller but he did gain about 20 pounds of muscle. This is a guy who wanted that job and would do anything to keep it. The director confirmed that Taylor will be back. Hard work paid off. Congratulations to him. I wish that kind of attitude would spread to some other people I have talked about today in other posts.
Mickey Rourke vs Robert Downey Jr. - Mickey Rourke is thisclose to signing on to be the bad guy in Iron Man 2. I know he will do one hell of a job, but honestly, I am looking forward to him tormenting Gwyneth Paltrow everyday at work. I hope he gets on her last nerve and bugs her everyday to eat a sandwich.
How About A Car Alarm? Apparently while Princess Beatrice was inside a store shopping with her security detail, thieves outside decided to go ahead and steal her BMW. The Princess didn't seem to care. The cops were called and while they investigated, Beatrice kept shopping. Umm yeah. You know I like Beatrice, but just because you know your daddy will buy you another car doesn't mean you just should blow it off. The car was brand new and to carry on shopping because you know there is enough money for another one is not really setting a very good example for all the unemployed people in the UK who will read about this. Everyone else in the country would be freaking out if their car was stolen, whether or not it had insurance.
Kevin Costner Hospitalized - Kevin Costner was hospitalized overnight because his head got to big for his body. Kevin was trying to squeeze his head inside a house but was unable to get in because his ego is just too damn large. Actually he was hospitalized because he was dizzy while driving. He called 911 and was put in the hospital overnight. They could find nothing wrong with him and assumed he just wanted to be admitted so he could pass out free copies of his CD.
Which singing diva dragged a famous rapper into a car and demanded that he perform a sexual act?
I saw that the announcement was made today for the new cast of Celebrity Apprentice. For the most part it is the usual C&D listers but honestly, if you look at the list everyone is on the C&D list for something they accomplished either through sports, acting, business, or comedy. I have no problems with any of them. Except one. Khloe Kardashian is on the list. Today must be rant day or something because here comes another one. I know that we have lowered the bar on celebrity to such an extent that anyone basically qualifies. But, that qualification usually only gets them as far as a reality show or a hosting gig at a bar where they get paid under the table cash and are not always above performing under the table services either. Not saying or implying Khloe does that. I'm just saying it does happen.
But, when you take someone and put them on a prime-time network show it kind of cheapens even the experience for the C&D listers on the show. Why don't we review how exactly Khloe got to be a "celebrity" shall we?
Chloe is famous for being the sister of someone who is famous for making a sex tape with Brandy's brother. How far out of the six degrees of nowhere land do you have to go to come up with that? That is why she is famous. There is no other reason. Yes, she is on the reality show with Kim and the other one. Yes, she got some attention for getting busted with the DUI, but she only got the attention because she is on the show and she is only on the show because she is the sister of a woman who made a sex tape with the brother of someone famous. Think about that. Everyone who has a friend of a friend who did something now deserves to be on Celebrity Apprentice. This is the most messed up thing I have ever seen. I want someone to go up to Khloe and ask her point blank the following questions:
1. What are you famous for? Keeping Up With The Kardashians
2. Oh, how did that come about? My sister f**ked a guy and made a tape and so she got the show and put us on it.
3. And now you are famous? Yes
4. And how much do you make a year? $500K or so.
You know she is just laughing and laughing the entire way to the bank.
I saw that Britney released her third single from Circus yesterday and it's called "If U Seek Amy." I don't really care. I listened to a couple of the songs and some were ok and some were awful. So, when I heard this song was going to be released I was totally indifferent until I read about a women's group in Australia that is ticked off about the single. I thought maybe Amy referred to one of their friends or something and that Britney was telling everyone how to have sex with her. I don't now. Why else would they be upset?
Then, of course I read the story. Always good to read more than just the headline. All I'm saying. Anyway, the group is upset because those that bought the CD already and of course have heard the song now say all of their kids are running around the house and school singing "f**k me." Apparently if you say the title of the song fast enough, that is what it sounds like and so now there are a bunch of kids running around school saying f**k me. While I find it hilarious and also feel for the parents who were not warned, it has also been driving me mad.
I have been trying to say the title or sing it so I can hear it for myself. The problem is that it is tough to whisper it and get an accurate feeling for what you are saying and my attempts at being louder have just caused more embarrassment then when I got stuck in the toilet at the holiday party. I am basically at this point trying to yell "f**k me" at the top of my lungs in a crowded office just to see if it is really true. This does not really go over well. Apparently shouting this repeatedly every few minutes causes some nervousness around the office.
If you have read the NY Daily News this morning you probably have seen this story. Apparently a doctor and his wife are getting divorced. OK, no big deal. It happens. What is the big deal is that about eight years ago, the doctor donated one of his kidneys to his wife. The wife thanked him by then having an affair with her physical therapist and serving her husband with divorce papers. Granted it was not immediately after the surgery, because that would have just been awful.
Anyway, in the divorce settlement the doctor is asking for either his kidney back or $1.5M in cash which is what the kidney is worth on the open market. Really? I didn't know they were worth that much. Anyway, he really has no case, and he even says he would donate it to her again if she would only come back to him. Guess this guy has a very broken heart.
Do you think that he should have even asked for the kidney/money or just let it go? I mean she is the mother of their three kids and so he obviously knows she can't give him the kidney or she will die and I doubt that is what he wants. Does receiving a kidney from a spouse force you to spend your entire life with that person? I don't think so. I know she must feel awful, but just because you got a kidney doesn't mean you should have to suffer and be miserable in a relationship for the next fifty years. Does it?
If your significant other gave you a kidney, would you feel obligated to stay with them forever? Is there a certain amount of time you have to stay with them after the surgery just so you don't look like you were using the person? I think if she had left him a month after the surgery, it would have been one thing, but this was like four years later.
WD aka America Young sent over the second episode of her show Groupidity and also a few words for all of you.
So happy and proud to be back! I so enjoyed blogging on this site and everyone's responses. Since I last left you, I have stunt coordinated Janelle Monae's music video, coordinated and doubled Katy Perry in her "Hot N Cold" video, and stunt coordinated and was in Chris Cornell's music video for "Scream". I have also been spending a lot of time being a one woman band for this show! I hope you enjoy it.

In the latest issue of Interview Magazine, Lindsay Lohan basically says that she is as good as any other actress working today, especially those that are her age and she wants those roles.
"What hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life. But that doesn't mean it's going to last forever."
I'm glad she is taking responsibility for the mess she created in her life, but I don't see any signs of it getting better. She was given another chance with the Ugly Betty part and she totally messed it up. I am actually surprised they didn't reshoot the episodes they disliked Lindsay so much. She was given an opportunity to be on a Top 20 show on network television for four to six episodes and if she did great you know they would have put her on more. Instead, she pissed everyone off and hated working more than a few hours in a day. I'm sure Lindsay would say it was the wrong situation and that if someone would give her a movie she would rock it. Well don't be fooled. People do offer her roles. The thing is she won't take them because they don't pay enough. She wants to be in a studio film with a $100M budget and she is getting indie offers. I hate the sense of entitlement. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. Do you know how many actors and actresses are in LA right now? Thousands upon thousands and lots have more talent than Lindsay. Lots of them. They would kill for any one of those indie roles Lindsay the unemployed actor thinks are beneath her. If you enjoy acting, then act. Act in anything that comes your way. All this shows to me is that Lindsay wants to be rich and famous and doesn't give a crap about acting. So f**k her and f**k her family and unless she does something completely insane, she is on suspension from the blog. Someone needs to kick her in the ass.
In the interview she complains about the press and how they follow her everywhere. Yeah, and if they didn't show up one day she would do something to get them back. I hope no director ever casts her again. Find some other 22 year old out there who wants to do a good job and cares more about the role than the paycheck or how big the trailer is.
It is amazing what happens when a hundred websites all over the world talk about what Lily Allen said about how cocaine is just fine to take. Next thing you know every anti-drug group starts making phone calls and record labels freak out because the next thing you know the big box stores won't want to carry Lily Allen and she won't be allowed in the US again for any touring which means no tv appearances which means no money. So, what does she do?
Well, Lily didn't do anything. She had her people do something. Actually, I would not be overly surprised if Lily has no idea what they released on her behalf. She probably doesn't care and no matter what her people say, we all know how she really feels. There were no accusations from her people about being misquoted or that it was taken out of context.
Lily's people - "Did you really say these things about cocaine?"
Lily - "Oh, hell yes. I'm tired of people bad mouthing it. It's good for you. It's like a vitamin only much more expensive. Oh, and it makes your nose bleed. But, it's like a happy health club all in one snort. Smile, sweat, lose weight."
Lily's people - "You know people are upset right?"
Lily - "F**k em."
At what point the person who made the phone call goes back to their boss and says, Lily sounds really contrite and you get a statement that reads like someone who starches their underwear wrote it.
"Lily Allen would like to state unequivocally that she does not condone illegal drug use and has every sympathy with individuals and families whose lives have been blighted by drugs."
Uh huh.
I know it was the holidays and everything, but I never saw that Willie Aames tried to kill himself over Thanksgiving. In the latest issue of Star he talks about it, and I don't ever remember it coming up in the news. If you are Mary Kate Olsen you get in a million newspapers if you tap a bumper of another car on the way out of a parking lot. If you are Willie Aames and your wife leaves you, you declare bankruptcy and then cut your throat in six places trying to kill yourself and no one even notices it has to be a bit of a shock.
Apparently after his wife left he decided to come to LA and he rented a room. I'm guessing he was hoping Scott Baio would get his show picked up again and give Willie a job. Either that or he maybe could get a gig on some other VH-1 show. Never let it be said that Viacom doesn't give to charity because they are basically supporting a dozen out of work actors and actresses by continually casting them in whatever degrading reality show they can come up with next.
I watched Celebrity Fit Club the first time he was on that show and he needed some professional help even at that time. I remember when Harvey aka Mr. Kimberly Locke, actually flew to Kansas and confronted Willie and I thought one of them was going to get shot right then. And it was probably edited to make it less scary than it was in reality. I'm glad Star noticed at least and hopefully they slipped Willie some money and gave him Scott's address.
Last night Fergie and Josh Duhamel had a party for a few of their friends in the run up to their wedding this Saturday. Fergie and Josh called it a joint bachelor/bachelorette party. I don't think so. I don't think you can have a joint one of those. I think what they had was just a party with a bunch of their friends. You can call it an engagement party, a rehearsal party, or the hey she doesn't always look like a man party, or whatever you want, but it was not a bachelor or bachelorette party.
I am not saying that every person needs to have one of those parties, I just think it is setting a bad example for all of the people out there getting married who wanted a night to get drunk with all their friends one last time. Oh sure, you can get drunk after marriage and hang out with your friends, but it is never the same. There is always that voice in the back of your head asking yourself if you took out the trash, is she going to be pissed that I went to a strip club and how do I explain the indecent exposure ticket. All of these things are trivial prior to getting married.
I just hope that Fergie and Josh have not started some trend now for joint parties because all the male and female strippers will go out of business and Vegas will practically shut down. Hell if you are going to have a joint party, the next thing you know you will be inviting the parents and in-laws and sitting down and watching home movies while your future mother-in-law heads back into the kitchen for her apple crumble.
Which reality star announced in the middle of a business lunch, “Whoops, just got my period!” — and then kept eating as if nothing had happened?
It's about damn time. Anyway, might as well begin with two of the three amigos body surfing or they could be doing water ballet. Yes, it's Martin Short and Steve Martin.
When the collar bone starts jutting out and looking as if it could harm a small child, it is time to eat Anne Hathaway.
Yeah, I'm not getting this latest look from Brad Pitt in W.
This was one of a series of about ten of Britney Spears from yesterday. She then covered herself and basically freaked out at the photographers.
Is Drew Barrymore's hair saying she just had a nooner or ten drinks at noon?
Yes, Daniel Craig is promoting a new movie. So, I'm sure I will run through a photo a day of him for a week or two.
Who is eating this huge lunch?
Fergie.
I have to say Hilary Duff looks pretty good here.
And Jake never takes off his hat.
Joshua Jackson keeps his ipod in his pants. You looked didn't you?
Jennifer Love Hewitt on the set of her show yesterday. She looks like she would be a laugh filled riot to talk to.
And Katie Holmes has given up Scientology and now become Amish.
"I'm Kate Moss and 8 feet tall."
Well hi right back at you Leighton Meester.
Michael Phelps wins our staged candid of the day award.
It has been awhile since I had Mira Sorvino in the photos. Nothing really else to say.
Sheryl Crow back in LA after her vacation with Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox.
I really hope that is a wig on Selena Gomez otherwise people are going to think she has started doing porn.
Verne is back and this time he brought Coolio with him.
At least Whitney Port tips the valet.
At some point today there will be photos. They just need to be uploaded and the snark attached, but Blogger is not cooperating. So, in the mean time, enjoy a blind item.
What current Emmy award winning network show has a production assistant who does not do any work related to the production but still gets paid. Oh yes, they get paid by the production company for basically sitting around. Why? Well when the PA is not sitting around he is the drug dealer of choice for about ten of the cast, crew and producers and they want him always close at hand. So, he gets paid for being there and doing nothing, and paid for his drug selling skills. Not a bad gig I guess. Which one does he put on his resume?
According to TMZ, Naveen Andrews who stars on Lost was awarded sole physical and legal custody of his three year old son until a full hearing next month. Apparently Naveen went to court because his baby mama took the three year old out of LA County. Umm, maybe they were just going down to Sea World or the San Diego Zoo or something. Actually it appears that the reason she took the son out of the county was to get away from Barbara Hershey who was accused in court papers of practicing witchcraft and poisoning the child.
Yeah, that story didn't really fly really well with the judge either who decided that not only can Naveen have sole custody but hey, its ok for him to take his son to Hawaii for filming and that the son can stay with either Barbara or Naveen.
I really feel sorry for the mother. I just hate any family law cases because someone is always going to just feel awful after they are over and even during the entire process. Naveen's attorney asked the judge to order that the mom get psychological testing but it is unclear whether the judge ordered it.
When TMZ caught up with the mom she was sitting on the ground outside the courthouse crying. She previously had custody of the son and now she feels like she has been robbed by someone who just happens to be more famous, has more money and can hire an attorney.
"I can't believe celebrities and their money. They always get what they want."
I'm sure it seems that way to her.
I would show you photos of the scene outside the courtroom, but Blogger sucks. So, here is a link to the TMZ photos and the very real tears of the mom.
While I wait for blogger to sort out its issues in regards to photos I thought I would go ahead and discuss the Star Magazine report that is coming out which says that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are splitting. They aren't. A very reliable friend had lunch with Matthew in the past week and point blank asked him how the relationship was and Matthew said everything was great. Could Matthew have been lying? Sure, especially if he knew the story would get back to me. But this friend is one of Matthew's best friends so if anyone should know the real story he should.
If photos were uploading properly on Blogger, you would see a football player getting nailed here. But, since it isn't you will just have to use your i-mag-in-a-tion.
Porn Industry Suffering - Apparently the economic downturn has hit the porn industry hard. It just can't seem to get up to the levels it once did and as a result the companies are having trouble performing. So, what does any good company do in these times of performance issues and feelings of inadequacy? They turn to the US Congress. Knowing that probably many Congressman are big fans of porn, Larry Flynt and the Sex Convict Joe Francis are asking Congress for about $5 billion to help them out during these troubled times. The feeling in the porn industry is that since it is such a huge industry and employs so many workers that they too should be entitled to some bailout money. If they get their money, they did promise Congress free subscriptions to Hustler and a Girls Gone Wild t-shirt.
There Won't Be Kids - Scarlett J told Harper's Bazaar that she is not planning on having kids anytime soon if ever. Seems she and Ryan Reynolds are not big on the whole idea of kids and so will not be contributing to the world's population anytime soon. I think Ryan may actually change his mind but there is no way someone as selfish as Scarlett is ever going to have kids unless there was something in it for her. So, if her career takes a nose dive and she needs some positive publicity or some cash, then we will see if she changes her mind.
Sex Toy Fun With Carmen Electra - Apparently Carmen Electra is a huge collector of sex toys. She loves them so much that she has even come up with homemade ones when she does not have a store bought one handy. Her latest fun toy is a wire coat hanger. Umm, yeah. I saw that one. It was called Mommie Dearest. She says there is pleasure and pain involved. I think the only pleasure would be when you stopped beating someone with it. I guess my imagination is not good enough to come up with any possible other pleasure associated with the use of a wire coat hanger on my body.
Baby makes 4 - Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck had their second daughter. Well actually, Jen gave birth and Ben sat there with a remote control in his hand wondering when he could go out and get some food. No, I'm sure he was great the entire time. No word on the name of the baby. Apparently they are thinking about selling the naming rights to the baby in order to make more money than the traditional baby photo money from the tabloids. So far, the front runner is Wal-Mart. Although that part is crap, do you think any celebrity would consider naming their kid after a brand? I mean if you are going to exploit your kid for money, what's the harm in selling their name? It isn't like they will use it for their whole lives. They would just go by a nickname, but whenever a story is written about the kid or the parents, the naming rights would come up and the company would get publicity again.
This is not really gossip but I cracked myself up thinking about this scenario and since my assistant stopped laughing at me long ago, I need someone to share it with. There is a new airline starting up in South Africa called Airtime Airlines. With a name like that it stands to reason that one of the main investors is a cell phone company. Apparently the cell phone company thinks that the price per minute feature will translate well to airlines as well.
The airline is just planning on flying to three cities from their base in South Africa, but instead of charging the way a regular airline will, they instead are going to charge by minute. So, if a flight lasts 75 minutes you will pay for 75 minutes of travel. Currently the airline is selling minutes for about $.50. You can buy a bunch of minutes in advance and when they run out you just top them up like a cell phone.
As a bonus you don't get charged for any minutes you spend on the ground. So, a three hour delay on the runway is not going to cost you extra. My question is this. You are in the middle of a 75 minute flight and you had enough minutes for the flight, but a strong headwind comes along and the flight gets extended for 10 or 15 minutes. You don't have any money with you and the flight attendant comes around and asks whether you are going to top off your minutes or are you planning on getting out now? Are parachutes complimentary in that case or is it just a matter of say, umm, disconnecting your service and throwing you out the door?
OK, now we can go back to gossip. I just thought it was funny.
So, what comes first? Family or career? In a recent interview, Chris Evans who is in the Fantastic Four movies was talking about his openly gay brother Scott. In the interview he said, "I'm down with the gays. Mostly I'm hanging out with (my brother) and his gay buddies, who are f**king hilarious. They're the funniest people I know. They've invited me out to gay bars before, and I said, 'Look, guys, I've got to draw the line there.' That's where a photo will get taken, it will run in magazines, and before you know it, I'll be living down the gay rumor for the rest of my life."
This is an interesting situation. I don't understand why Chris can hang out with his brother and his friends but doesn't want to be seen in public with them. From the sound of it, Chris will only hang out with them in a house or a private location where no one knows he is hanging out with gay people. But, then he does this interview where he says he does hang out with gay people so to me I don't see the harm in going out to some clubs with his brother. Does his brother go to straight clubs with him? Is Scott worried that straight rumors will follow him for the rest of his life? That all of his gay friends will shun him because he was seen hanging out with straight people?
Even if you get spotted at a gay bar, he has given this interview and explained that he is not gay. Well actually he doesn't say that does he? He just says he doesn't want the gay rumor to follow him around forever. Do you think it makes his brother mad or do you think his brother understands that a career is more important than family? Is it a big deal even that he is not going to gay clubs with his brother? I just think that it is an interesting decision. In my opinion I would go to the club with my brother and his friends, but then again my career is not based on public perception and I have always been a big family supporter. Of course I have to say that considering I get free rent and food from my family. What do you think?
Which paunchy Hollywood star, with a taste for eastern European hookers, makes his poor overworked PA book him different girls every day of the week during trips abroad?
You know how I feel about wedding stories. I hate them. There are just too many of them and it is like a roller coaster keeping up with who is married and who is getting divorced. But, sometimes I make an exception and actually give the couple more than a random photo. This is one of those exceptions. I mean it is Ione Skye. Lloyd Dobler's lady got married. Yes, it is her second wedding, but it is Ione Skye and really this is the only way she even gets in the news. She and Ben Lee got married last week in India. They got married by Lee's guru there. I'm guessing he didn't look like Mike Myers but you never know.
Lee started seeing this guru after he and Claire Danes broke up. I guess it must have hit the guy hard. It is the first time Lee has walked down the aisle or whatever they did in India. I mean this is a guru. Do they have an open bar after a guru marries you? Honestly if you don't have an open bar at your reception then really what is the point? You need that open bar situation to make the meeting of strangers that much more fun. Nothing says new friendships like free booze.
Peter Gabriel played In Your Eyes at the ceremony. No, not really, but it would have been kind of cool huh?
When you think of gossip, you always think of something sensational or juicy. I think there is so much gossip that it often becomes "so and so was using coke off his boyfriend's chest while the boyfriend was injecting his neighbor with heroin" and we just kind of become blase about it. OK, if that really happened it would be pretty cool. It actually has happened, but that is for another day. Anyway, juicy gossip. Very. Now, this particular gossip comes from France.
As you know I have had an obsession with the French Justice Minister for several months now. I began this obsession when I first discovered the European media was taking hundreds of photos of her each week when she was leaving the Wednesday cabinet meeting. At first I thought it was just because she was pregnant, but I have since learned from reading and all my European readers that the reason besides her being beautiful is that the identity of the father is a secret. No, it isn't me. I don't think. No, it couldn't be because the only thing I ever do when I go to France is drink red wine and butcher the language. Then I mumble something about seeing art and so go back to my hotel and stare at the paintings on the wall of my hotel room and order more wine.
So, the Minister gave birth via a C-Section on Friday and the top photo is her at the Cabinet meeting this morning. I know, I know. Plus, don't the French give you like 10 years off from work with pay when you have a baby?
So, where is the gossip? Apparently the rumor is right now that the father of the baby is actually the President of France. Yep. Which is why Carla and our Justice Minister do not exactly care for one another. My math is not great, but it would seem that the President would have had to do this after he was married, non? You like that little non in there. Very cool huh?
Feeding fuel to this theory is that for much of the last week of her pregnancy, the brother of the President was with Rachida and giving constant updates to his brother. See, she is the Justice Minister so I don't think constant updates are really necessary. The country can probably get along without her for a few weeks. I also thought that it was interesting that she went to the cabinet meeting today to see her baby's daddy at probably the only place they can see each other without the world watching.
Love this story. If you think it is boring because it is in France, substitute the President of France for the head of your country and it becomes a pretty damn good story.
I am loving Lily Allen right now despite the fact there is some question in my mind about whether her current relationship started before or after her boyfriend was separated from his wife. I love the new sober Lily. But, sometimes Lily can go a little off the deep end, and the thing is, with her new CD about to come out, she is being forced to do a lot more press and a lot more outrageous statements are sure to follow.
She did an interview with Metro, and had this to say about people who use cocaine.
"I know lots of people that take cocaine three nights a week and get up and go to work every day, no problem at all. But we never hear that side of the story. I have no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn't sensationalize this thing that just exists. The only story is that drugs are bad and they will kill you - you will become a prostitute, a rapist or a dealer. But that's not true."
Wow, I didn't know those were your only three choices for jobs once you started taking drugs. Glad Lily cleared that up for me. Wow, that is a tough choice. Prostitute, rapist or dealer. I will have to think about it and get back to you. I honestly cannot believe Lily is treating cocaine like someone having a glass of wine after work. I have seen people who could take coke and work and they did fine, but the people I know who took it three times a week, were not fine and they had a serious problem and the only reason they were working was to pay for the drug they were taking three times a week. Drugs are bad Lily. That is why it is the only story. Think about how much crap you got into just for drinking and then imagine yourself on coke. Oh, wait, yeah, let me rephrase. Think back to when you were on coke and if you were the same person you are now. I am guessing you are not since you don't use coke anymore. Well, at least that is what you say. Lily did admit that when she used to check into hotels, someone would always arrange for there to be 5 grams of coke on the table for her. I'm sure she just passed it out to all her friends. I mean they are doing it three days a week.
Apparently Jennifer Love Hewitt is the one who dropped the hammer on Ross McCall. I say this because Kneepads Magazine has a "source" who sounds a great deal like a publicist and who seems to think Jennifer Love Hewitt walks on water. With as much ass kissing as this source did, there was no need to be just a "source" because Jennifer Love would have kissed them and thanked them for being such a butt kisser.
According to the source, Jennifer has been quiet on the set while usually she is bubbly and outgoing. Usually Jen hangs out with the crew between takes but for now she is only hanging out with her bodyguard. Uh huh. And tell me exactly why Jen needs a bodyguard on a closed set. One of those crazy gaffers on the loose or something? Yeah, I would like to see this "bodyguard" and wonder if he doesn't have a little something to do with the situation.
You know how you can tell this is written by a publicist? This one line. "She is always so professional. She would never even think to miss a day of work because of personal problems."
The only person who would ever make a comment like that is someone who gets paid by Jennifer. Someone who knows that Ghost Whisperer is going into the toilet and that Jennifer may need a job soon, so better let everyone know that she always comes to work on time and nothing distracts her from her task. Except her bodyguard.
Which pothead actor is seeking refuge for harder drugs in a NYC rehab center? The toker couldn’t quite kick the nose-candy habit.
"Hey aren't you?" There have been a rash of sightings and I use the term rash here as a caution to all people to not engage in unprotected sex with workers of the sex industry. Anyway, the rash of sightings took place over a two day period. Who was being seen and what were they doing? Well it turns out this A list country singer might have been enjoying the absence of his wife because for two days there were sightings of our singer picking up women who make their living on the streets. At least three times over a 48 hour period our singer cruised around in his very recognizable car and picked up women for about 20 minutes of fun. Now, I don't know if he was just not getting any at home or if he wanted to give his wife a very special Christmas present that could not be returned.
Alyssa Milano is getting married and it isn't to a baseball player. Shocker I know. Instead she is getting married to this guy. He's an agent. This photo was actually taken the night before he proposed. He does look like he is sweating a bit. Probably hoping they didn't get into some horrible fight and then have his plans shattered. You want to see a guy kissing some ass, go out with him the night before he proposes.
"So, there I was in the shower after we had sex the other night and my willy just fell right off."
I have to admit it. Christina Aguilera actually looks pretty here.
I bet you think I am going to say Courteney Cox looks like crap or something, but you know what? The I didn't dry my hair before I went out to lunch look seems to work for her ok here.
Cameron Diaz off to visit her future in-laws.
Wow. Can you say fake tan and some blond highlights? Damn. You know he is getting divorced because he thinks this will make him look more attractive to the ladies I guess. Makes me just want to laugh and laugh.
Hugh Jackman with his Something About Mary hair.
"Hmmm. Apparently I am supposed to put this metal object in my hand into the opening. Is this what an 'everyday person' does?"
Yeah. You can see Jim Carrey just working that string out inch by inch.
Yeah, well your kids won't be smiling when their teacher reads aloud their ridiculous names the first day of school.
Holding hands never seemed more cold.
No Verne Troyer today, but someone almost as scary. LaToya Jackson who is also on Celebrity Big Brother says the Jackson 5 will definitely tour very soon. Yeah, like they would tell her.
I have decided that Lindsay Lohan won the fight with Samantha Ronson. I just think Lindsay would kick her ass.
Yeah, this will make me want to buy LV purses. At least the bag draws my eyes away from the horror Madonna is attempting to show me.
Just because it has been awhile since Penelope Cruz has been in the photos.
Rip Torn plead not guilty to drunk driving. He was apparently driving on the shoulder of the road with a Christmas tree tied to the roof of his car. Well everyone knows you need a nip or two when you are buying a Christmas tree. Things are expensive.
And they still haven't cut his hair.
Sean Penn looks thrilled to be kissed by Josh Brolin. Look at the death grip on the shoulder. Sean's nails are turning blue.
What every woman wears to a soccer game.
Lily Allen Threatens Katy Perry - As much as I like Lily Allen right now, I think this has to go down as one of the worst threats ever. Lily Allen says on her facebook page that she has the phone number of Katy Perry. She goes on to say that if Katy Perry ever says another bad thing about her (Katy called Lily fat last year) that she will post Katy's phone number on facebook. Ooooh. Maybe she will also call Katy's mom and tell on her.
Craig Ferguson Gets Hitched - Craig Ferguson announced on his show last night that he got secretly married over the holidays to his long time girlfriend Megan Wallace Cunningham. I'm guessing she is related to the Milwaukee Cunninghams and that the Fonz was the best man.
WAGS - TLC and NASCAR are teaming up in a new series about the wives of NASCAR drivers and how they get through their daily lives. I imagine they get through their lives pretty much the same way as the rest of us except with a lot more money and a lot less work to do. TLC wants to make it a cross between The Real Housewives series and Army Wives. Uh huh.
The Suck Up For Ratings Continues - The people over at the Golden Globes have decided that what would really class up their award ceremony is for the Jonas Brothers to present an award. Sure, that makes sense. All it does is show that the people running that thing will do anything to get people to watch whether it means having award presenters who will never be nominated in a category and nominating people who should never be nominated in the first place just to guarantee their attendance and ratings.
I Reall Am Nice - A Vogue cover girl is suing Google to try and find out the identity of a blogger who has called her a "skank" "old hag" and the "#1 skanky superstar." Apparently she found these offensive. By the way, this is the same model who earlier this year was in the headlines because a doorman at a bar didn't like her and so smashed her in the face with a vodka bottle.
In Los Angeles, it seems like everyone hugs. Just met someone? It doesn't matter hug away. No matter the sex, people just hug away. I do notice that because of my girth and slight sweating issues that hugs directed my way are more of the air hug variety but they are still there.
Well apparently in Adelaide, Australia they have not really got into the whole hugging as a greeting thing. Well, at least one woman hasn't. Apparently Rajini Narayan saw her husband hug another woman. Nothing else. No kiss, no grab of the butt cheeks. Just a friendly hello hug. That was enough however to convince her that her husband was having an affair.
So, she decided to take matters into her own hands. No, this is not another cut off the peen story. What our wife did was pour an alcohol based solvent on his peen while the husband was sleeping and then lit it on fire.
"I just wanted to burn his penis so it belongs to me and no one else ... I didn't mean this to happen."
Umm, if you burn it, I don't think there will be much for anyone, let alone you. Well as you can imagine, the man was in some pain. So, as he got up he knocked over the container of alcohol which made the fire spread and then engulfed the man in flames. He died of his injuries and the fire did about $1M worth of damage to the home. Oh, to make things even worse, the woman who was charged with murder was also charged with three counts of endangering life. It seems as if her three kids were home sleeping when this happened and they barely made it out of the house alive.
Which supermodel is terrified that a video clip of her racking up lines of cocaine on a yacht in the Mediterranean are going to appear online any day?
I already thought the lawsuit Adessa Eskridge was planning on filing against the city of Los Angeles was pretty damn crazy, but apparently she is demanding $2M for her fifteen minutes of fame. $2M? In what crazy messed up world does she think what happened to her was worth $2M? First of all I don't even believe her version of the story and second of all I doubt anyone of us even if her story were 100% true would think of suing for $2M. Do you think the city is honestly going to cough up $2M for this?
Seriously. I don't know if she is smoking something or what. To give you an example, Rodney King won $3.8M in his civil suit against the city. Now, go ahead and compare that to a woman spending ten minutes surrounded by paps getting her photo taken because they thought she was some tweener star who has a famous last name and got pregnant. Yeah, ok. Well I guess I would be humiliated too if someone thought I was Jamie Lynn Spears. Hell, they couldn't print money fast enough if someone confused me with Jamie Lynn Spears. Of course if they did, I would probably also go into porn and call myself Jamie Lynn Steers.
According to Adessa's attorney, "Adessa suffered and continues to suffer great humiliation as a result. " Umm, who in the hell even knew who she is or was to cause her this humiliation before she decided to make her claim? Did you know her name? If you saw her on the street, would you laugh at her and mock her for pretending to be Jamie Lynn Spears? Well, we are probably a bad example because we all would. But we are snarky and cynical and judgmental. The rest of the world...OK bad example.
Just when you think you have seen it all or heard it all or even read it all, along comes Madonna's brother Christopher Ciccone who shared a story with The Observer that didn't make it into his book about his sister. Of course since the story is not about his sister that would probably make sense. He claims the story didn't make it in because the lawyers for the publisher thought it would be libelous. Well, then of course it makes sense to go ahead and share it with a newspaper then because that makes it not I guess in his twisted logic. I don't understand, but hey, it is a great story.
Christopher basically spends several minutes trashing Demi Moore and saying she uses gays like handbags. He says that Demi only wanted to be friends with Christopher until she found a straight guy. When she found Ashton, then it was bye bye Christopher. To show what great friends they used to be he offered up the story of how he and Demi were dancing at a club one night and that Demi took offense to some of Christopher's lesbian friends.
Instead of walking away she decided to show them something else. She took out her breasts. OK, strange enough right there, but wait, it gets better. Apparently Demi was lactating from a recent birth. I'm guessing it was from a recent birth. I guess it could have been that Brice enjoyed the taste and didn't find it soury or weird like Pete Wentz. Anyway, Demi took out her breasts, and according to Christopher, began squirting her breast milk all over Christopher's lesbian friends.
I admit that I am an ignorant guy, but it seems to me this would be a bit difficult unless the women being squirted just kind of stood there about a foot from her. I mean is it possible to jet it out like some kind of death ray? Is there a contest somewhere for distance? What exactly is the world record for squirting breast milk across a crowded dance floor? Do you get extra points for accuracy?
You would think that when a guy wins an award, he would be in a good mood and festive. OK, so maybe the person who wins the award for employee of the month at McDonalds doesn't really need the free Big Mac, but for the most part, people are generally in a good mood when they get recognized for their work.
It would seem that logic would follow when Josh Brolin won the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in "Milk" at the New York Film Critics Award dinner last night. Yeah, not so much. After thanking Sean Penn and calling him a great actor, he then spent the next several moments basically trashing his former American Gangster co-star Russell Crowe.
He called Russell Crowe an a-hole. He must have read the blog yesterday. Didn't even use the full term just went ahead with the a-hole. Should have gone on to say something about how it will replace Cornholio in the modern lexicon, but he didn't. And then for good measure, just in case anyone didn't hear him the first time, he went ahead and made the point again that Russell Crowe is an a-hole. Wow. Tell us how you really feel. I mean Josh just won an award and he had all the charges dropped against him for that New Orleans bar fight a few months ago and he still has venom for Russell. I can only imagine what would happen if he had been in a bad mood.
This personal story is really touching and provides an insight into the Church Of Scientology and how they treat children with brain damage. The story is fair and honest and also gives some answers to all of the speculation that has been brewing over the past few days. It's long, and there are some Scientology terms you may not understand, but it is worth the read. It came from a private area of an ex-Scientology Message Board.
I've kept out of this discussion for a while, not because I don't have anything to add or that I lack experience, in fact quite the opposite. I've had too much painful experience on this subject to tolerate some of the commentary.
Most of you know that my wife and I have a handicapped child, with a similar but more extreme spectrum than Jett. this has caused us to become quite informed in the matters of workable approaches to such disabilities.
We are also very successful in liberating people from the cofs, in fact we have personally gotten between 20 and 30 people out. Some still adhere to the tenets of the tech some have taken all the LRH books to the tip.
It is odd to me that despite this experience I have not been able to add to this thread. In fact we did try and gave up in the face of determined bigotry and ignorant recriminations.
I will have another try. But have to say personally I have found that the Travoltas loss has hit us hard. Their experience resonated against our own in a very big way. I feel for them in this circumstance.
When our kid was found to be autistic, epileptic, spastic and more, the feeling of failure as an OT was immense. The understanding of the true causes of the condition within the cult was practically zero.
Scientologists have trouble grasping the concept of brain injuries, they simply do not accept the function of the brain, it is quite bizarre.
Special kids need special love and you tend to poor the coals on your natural love for them, who knows, all that extra love might just get them through it. I can see that in the Travoltas, unfortunately I can see that JT may have denied Jett was autistic, to himself as well. I
can imagine why given the nature of Scn. The stigma is awful in a group that thinks all illness is a product of PTSness and that the spirit can heal the body. Autistic kids are seen a degraded beings and their parents "pulled it in" in a witch pit like that.
In all of this I suspect the worst and most damning aspect is the cults lack of understanding of brain injury, that attaches stigma to a true crisis and bars the way to workable (NON SCN) rehabilitation. It also closes the door to the group showing and having compassion for
the people affected, it is a very great pity. No one should be in a position that they need to claim that their autistic or intellectually impaired kid has some other Syndrome there really is no shame to it in a decent and caring environment.
My wife called me from Flag a few years ago and told me that Kelly and Jett were there, she could see his problem and we discussed a ruse that could lead Kelly to originate communication to my wife, we couldn't just walk up and talk to them, scn handlers would have sent
her to ethics, it is not an egalitarian culture. The ruse worked and thus opened the door to Mrs Feral recommending the Doman institute, we hoped to lead them to giving Jett the best help that we knew of.
Unfortunately some dimwits in the tech area of the cult branded the education part of the treatment "implanting" because it taught via the use of flash cards. Well, our kid was reading at around two or three years old through this " implanting' method. It goes to show how
little understanding of their own subject they had. Our attempt to help him was sabotaged and so was his later opportunity to communicate via written symbols or typing in assisted "facilitation". Jett like our kid could not speak at that time, I don't know if he ever did
later but I doubt it.
When I was told that my daughter was hopelessly brain injured all my tomorrows turned black. I was dying inside and stayed that way for years. I wanted to die and hoped for the opportunity, I was in hell, but like the Travoltas I'm sure, I would have given my life to stop
any more harm coming to my child. So you can imagine my reaction to seeing various members talking about giving them a slap on the face or rubbing salt into the wound. Losing a child is about the most painful thing that could happen to most people, if you have not had children
it would be hard to imagine the horror of seeing them harmed.
One couple who I helped liberate from the cult lost two children due to the churches negligence and disregard for safety. If I had gone about communicating to them the way some have communicated to or at the Travoltas I wouldn't have gotten them out, but instead I would
have branded all critics of the cult morons and SPs through my actions, it would have cemented them in. Further, any one who thinks the end (of liberating the Travoltas) justifies the means is thinking pretty much along the lines that the cofs does, "well it's OK to cave
them in as only we can save them" or "the method doesn't matter as long as we get them out of the cult" Such thinking makes a good scilon.
On another issue attacking Scn for the boy not being on anti seizure meds is faulty on two fronts. Firstly, it looks as though he may have been on them, we were never stopped or discouraged from using them by scn. We did however choose not to because they do not stop seizures,
they reduce the intensity and frequency. In fact each child in our class at the institute who was on meds still had seizures. They also have devastating side effects which were in opposition to our goals of brain rehabilitation that we were pursuing on the Doman program. I
would only use them if the safety aspect of not using them was greater than the harm that they are known to do to normal brain function was the lesser of the two evils. That harm, by the way is temporary apart from the fact that coming off them is dicey as they form dependency,
seizures can be very violent as someone weans off them, but there are many successes where the person stopped having seizures altogether once weaned.
Scientologists are not forbidden to take such Meds. Tory had to come off them to be able to audit, they simply would not allow someone to audit on mind altering drugs. The method of weaning Tory used was probably cold turkey, this is very dangerous. Other than being drug
free during auditing there is no mandate on them to my knowledge. They are not deemed to be a psych drug by the church, if they had have been Tory would have been ineligible for all Scn services just for having a past history of them.
Autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, spasticity and epilepsy are in most cases a product of brain injury. Sometimes they are caused due to inadequate structure due to other reasons too, but mostly not.
In the case of seizures, (epilepsy,) it is an indication of cortical damage, the seizure is a product of improper cell respiration, a lack of oxygen. Dr Temple Fay did some really ground breaking work in this area and it has made a lot of difference in the management of seizures. You can cause a seizure in a well (not brain injured) person if you lock them up somewhere that they run out of oxygen. In brain injured kids apart from poor cell respiration they are uniformly not
very rhythmic in their breathing, with long pauses in the middle of what should be an uninterrupted breath. They are chronically short of oxygen.
Anti seizure meds work, when they do, by reducing the brains demand for oxygen, they shut down or reduce brain function. Can you see why we have steered away from them?, the Travoltas may have done the same. I can only speculate.
I think I have spent time in the past discussing where the adult magazines go in the order of appropriateness. But as a refresher, the order goes Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler. The further to the right you move on the list, the freakier it gets and the less likely you will ever admit to another soul that you are even familiar with the titles. Over the past few years, I have noticed that Playboy has been shifting and shifting to the right. Apparently someone told Christine Hefner or someone over at Playboy that the people everyone wants to see naked are the rejects from Flavor of Love or Rock of Love, or No Love Without A Glove - The Paris Hilton Story. First you had the twins who are the new "girlfriends" on The Girls Next Door. Oh, and by the way, I have never seen twin strippers living next door to any of the places I have ever lived so that is kind of false advertising.
Now comes confirmation that Playboy is actually paying Aubrey O'Day $500,000 to strip naked and they are going to put her on the cover. I think I had mentioned before they had made an offer and it was in the low six figures. First of all I can't believe she said no to that, and second of all that Playboy raised it to $500,000. If I want to see Aubrey naked I can look at any red carpet photo of her or just wait for a sex tape to be released. Oh, you know there are some out there, or will be out there. $500K? Do you realize with that kind of money we will have to put up with her for at least another two years or so.
Playboy used to be an adult magazine that you could at least leave laying out in your house. Now it is just as skanky as Aubrey O'Day. The magazine that brought you Marilyn Monroe now brings you Aubrey O'Day. Nice.
Probably one of my favorite headlines of all time. The great thing is I am going to link to his blog in the post so I know he will find his way back here. At first he will probably think it is one of his supporters. I was going to say many, but let's face it, there really are not that many.
Did you know Michael Lohan has a blog? He does. He likes to call himself Mike on the blog though. More tough? Maybe more manly. Fits that fishnet shirt personality more to be called Mike.
Anyway, Mike has had a blog for two whole weeks now and he seems pretty excited. Last night he even had a live chat for thirty minutes with his fans. Wow, thirty whole minutes. In the two weeks he has had his blog, the topic of conversation more often than not is Lindsay Lohan. You know, his daughter. Oh, he says the blog is about other things, but come on, it is about Lindsay. It is about getting people to read the site and making a buck and the best way to do that is to talk about Lindsay. He also seems to care that you see as many photos of him with his young girlfriend as possible.
I don't care. He can do whatever he wants. If he wants to make money off his kid then let him. He did say in a post this morning that since Lindsay and Sam have broken up that Lindsay is headed back down the path that God wanted her to take in the first place.
Mikey uses the photo above in one of his blog posts where he rips into TMZ for questioning his sanity. He also says that some people want to listen to him and some people don't and then starts basically comparing what he has to say to what Jesus had to say. Yeah. I know. Apparently Sam and Lindsay is just as important as anything Jesus did.
The real goal of the blog though, according to Mikey is to make a change in someone's life. "Maybe, WE will make a difference in some lives out there. Just maybe, that one comment or suggestion will ring true in the right ear(s)."
Uh huh. Reading about who Lindsay is sleeping with is going to change the world. Got it. Maybe one of the suggestions or comments will make you just learn to be quiet and go on with your life.
Which rapper told a Puerto Rican model she needs “more of an a—” to be “truly Rican” — and then proceeded to school her on how to be more “street”?
According to Access Hollywood, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have called it quits. The holidays just have not been good to anyone. Jennifer Love Hewitt, Patricia Arquette, Kelly Rutherford, Rudolph and Santa, and now Sam and Lindsay. Don't know if it is the pressure of the holidays, booze, drugs, or the recession which is causing all these bust-ups.
According to the report, besides all the yelling and screaming the couple did at each other over the holidays, they got into a fistfight in their Miami hotel room as well. I think that would be a pretty even fight. I think Sam can probably take a punch, but Lindsay probably fights dirty, and has those long nails. Although their fight was witnessed by family members, I guess none of them intervened because the hotel room was completely trashed. Guess they must have been wagering on the fight or Dina's hair extension came out and so she couldn't be bothered to try and put a halt to it.
The source who gave the details in the report also let it slip that now Lindsay has moved out into her own place and Ali is coming to LA to move in and to start living together. That is the reality show pitch if I have ever heard one. Lindsay and Ali living together. I don't know how they would ever be able to find any footage fit for the general public but I admit that I would probably watch the first episode. I would actually watch more if they made Michael and Dina live there also and share a bedroom.
This is someone that has never been in the blinds before. Always fun to have fresh faces in here. What you have is a married C list film actress. She is married to a guy in a celebrity family. If I say his career it will give it all away. So, let's stick with celebrity family for now. So, on the set of her latest film she met another actress and they bonded and started hanging out and it was completely platonic. You thought I was going to say our wife had an affair with the actress. Nope. I really don't know if our wife is into women, but it turns out that her husband took an immediate liking to the actress his wife brought home. Well, as soon as he had the chance he made his move, and the two have been almost inseparable. You might ask how that would be possible considering he is married. Well, if you figure out the career you will figure out how it is possible.
Hey guess what? A relationship involving Jennifer Love Hewitt didn't last. For about the 800th time in the past few years, Jennifer Love Hewitt and whatever guy she was dating broke up. I like to think there is equal fault in all relationships. Not always true, but in a Utopian sense anyway. Not so with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Whether it was the issues with her mom or just the fact that Jennifer seems like the biggest pain in the ass on the planet for a girlfriend, for some reason it is always the guy who runs away screaming from her.
In her latest chapter, the engagement she had with Ross McCall has ended. Apparently their relationship couldn't make it through the holidays. Holidays are stressful. My heart can attest to that. I just feel the arteries clogging with every bite.
Neither of their reps are commenting but I'm guessing that it will be Jennifer's rep that makes the comment.
I never thought I would see the day where Gwyneth Paltrow would be shilling some kind of weight loss thing. No, it's not a product or anything like that. It is just her newsletter. She has written her guide to losing holiday pounds. She hates how much weight she has gained and wants to share with you, the people of the world how she is going to shed her excess weight and you can follow along. Umm, excuse me. She needs to gain about 30 pounds and get herself up to a size zero. Is she seriously trying to convince us that she is overweight? What in the hell is she trying to say to the rest of the women in the world? I don't think she even had an excess pound when she was pregnant.
"I need to lose a few pounds of holiday excess. Anyone else? I like to do fasts and detoxes a couple of times during the year, the most hardcore one being the Master Cleanse I did last spring. It was not what you would characterize as pretty. Or easy."
If I could talk to her right now I would actually ask her if she was sane. I would be shocked if she weighs over 100 pounds and is bigger than a size zero and she wants to tell the rest of the world about how she needs to lose weight. WTF?
Oh. Want to know how she proposes to lose the excess weight? Not just by eating less and exercising. Nope, she is basically giving up every food known to man.
She is cutting out dairy, grains with gluten, meat, shellfish, anything processed, fatty nuts, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, condiments, sugar and alcohol, caffeine or soda.
Umm, what the hell is left? Water
The mascot of the blog, Ben Affleck has kind of changed in body appearance from the photo taken over on the far right on the site. Hey, but he is eating an apple.
I was just practicing this over the weekend. The folks over at the new Cirque du Soleil show in London must have been peering into my basement.

But had to have at least one, that makes you laugh or recoil. Your choice.
Whoopi Goldberg and her "guest."
Lourdes Goes To School - Apparently Madonna's daughter Lourdes DeLeon has decided that she doesn't want to be a crap actress like her mother and so has enrolled in the Manhattan Professional Children's School which has seen Sarah Jessica Parker and Scarlett Johansson also pass through its doors. Well, judging by their results, I guess maybe there is still a chance she will be just as bad as her mom.
Fourth Time Is A Charm - Gary Oldman got married over the weekend for the fourth time. I mean at some point the odds are that one of his marriages will stick. If not this one than at some point as he is closer to death I'm sure one will go the distance. Gary married Alexandra Edenborough who is a jazz singer. She is 31 and Gary is 50 and thus violates my unwritten rule that you should never marry someone who had a drivers license before you were born.
Jessica Got Married? - Apparently the Dallas Cowboys Wives Cookbook needs a boost in sales. Despite the fact that Jessica Simpson is neither a wife or even engaged to a Cowboys player, she was invited to submit recipes for the new cookbook. I'm sure all of the other girlfriends of Cowboys players are now pretty upset why they were not included in the book. In case you were wondering what kind of meals Jessica actually has decided to foist on the world, they are Banana Breakfast Smoothies and No Fat Broccoli And Cherry Tomatoes. Didn't realize the latter vegetables had fat in them and that if they did that Jessica Simpson had discovered the chemical formula to remove said fat.
The Stork Didn't Cut It - Carrie Underwood decided that she didn't want to be dating Dr. Travis Stork. I think it may have something to do with the jokes she would have heard for the rest of her life. Instead she has set her eyes on NHL player Mike Fisher who plays for the Ottawa Senators. Carrie was seen in his private box during a recent game with members of his family. Yeah, I'm sure it will last.
Which overrated celeb chucked a ham sandwich at an assistant for being on the "wrong sort of white bread"?
Yeah, you know I really don't care that Jerry O' Connell and Rebecca Romijn welcomed twins into the world today. I just don't get that excited about baby stories. I am still kind of in awe that someone had sex with Jerry, but that awe kind of disappears until I think about it again. Funny how that works. One thing that is funny though is that Funny Or Die sent over a clip of something Jerry and Rebecca did and it is basically Rebecca as Mystique and pregnant and Jerry trying to cope. Hey, it's definitely better than waiting for photos in some magazine of some kids that you don't really care about seeing and who won't look like that two months from now. Anyway, enjoy the video.
I have to apologize to everyone in advance. I thought I had watched the season finale of Tori & Dean a few months ago. I thought it ended with the birth of the baby. Apparently I was wrong. There was some highlight show that was on the week after and I never knew it existed until I saw it this weekend. You know it is a slow weekend when I am flipping through channels and decide on Tori & Dean, especially considering I thought I had already seen it.
So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw new footage and got to relive some of the a-holery that is Dean. A-holery is the new buzz word of the year. I think it will be fine replacement to Beavis And Butthead's Cornholio. Anyway, in addition to Tori admiring the new stupid tattoos of Dean, and they are stupid, there was a very, very interesting moment that probably should have been edited out.
Tori and Dean, their nanny, and the two kids are at a pool. The nanny, Tori and Stella are all in a cabana, but anyone can see inside the cabana if they are at the correct angle. Tori sees a guy taking photos of them and it is used as an introduction to the horrors of the paps throughout the preceding season. Fine. It is a nice segue, but, they should have found some other way to introduce the segment because this is what was said and shows where the true priorities of Tori and Dean are at all times.
Tori - Some guy just took photos of all of us.
Dean - God, I'm good looking. What did you say mama? (ok to be fair he just looked dazed and said "what?")
Tori - Some guy got pictures of everyone. Let's just hope he didn't get pictures of Stella.
Dean - Yeah, that would be bad.
Now, I want to point out that their son Liam was outside the cabana and neither of them cared he was photographed. Neither particularly cared that Tori or Dean was photographed either. Why on earth would they care if Stella had been photographed? Well considering she was a brand new baby, that should give you one clue. That's right. Tori & Dean were selling the photos or didn't want to show the baby before the show aired. In either case it was all about making money off their kid. When you don't want a photographer to take a photo because you are protecting your child, I admire that. When you don't want a photographer to take a photo of your child because you are protecting your wallet, that makes you jerks.
The picture above just cracks me up. I have no doubts that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are friends, but the hand holding above is the most awkward thing ever. When is the last time you were with someone and reached across your body, leaned over, and forget it. It is almost like he is just desperate to hold on. She is making it pretty tough on him actually. Maybe the hand holding at the front row of a Lakers game just kind of goes above and beyond friendship. Who knows. All I know is that she is holding both of her hands, but somehow Jake has managed to get a hand in there just in time for the pap shot. I have seen other photos from the game but this is the only hand holding shot. All the others were drinking, eating, Jake talking to Reese either about basketball or just pointing out the guys and whether he would do them. It was hard to tell. Oh, and Jeffrey Katzenberg of Dreamworks was the one who bought the tickets so don't think that Jake decided to spend big bucks on Reese to go watch sweaty men run and stretch and bend over. No, he could just do that from the privacy of his own living room.
So, tonight when you get home. I want you to look at this picture and copy it with your significant other. Test to see how relaxed it makes you feel and if it is natural. Make sure you get that lean as well. Wearing the stupid hat is optional.
The photos above are just two of a series of photos with Amy Winehouse and as I like to call him, "Mr. Never Going To Date Again." He is not a bad looking guy. He could probably date fairly easily. I mean he did manage to get with Amy Winehouse and to be her constant companion for the entire time she has been on vacation. I hope that he is getting some kind of gift from all of this. No, not that kind of gift. Wait, what gift are you thinking? Yeah, I think there really is no safe way to be with Amy except to just say hi from across the room. Even then I don't think I would pull anything out for fear of some kind of airborne virus. Why on earth would you ever even consider having sex with Amy? Besides all the hookers, drugs, needles, cutting and hospitals, this is a woman who has had sex with Blaaaaaaaaake and Pete Doherty. Well, you say to yourself, that is just two guys. Uh huh. Two guys and the millions of people they have been with, including all the guys Pete had sex with when he was a gay prostitute. And you want some of that?
Now, let's say the vacation week ends and out mystery guy goes back to where he came from and asks some woman out on a date. Do you think he needs to tell her that he had sex with Amy Winehouse? Would you want to know? Would you sleep with a guy who had sex with Amy Winehouse? This guy could be the poster boy for why Paris Hilton is back to recycling Brandon Davis for the 43rd time.
Apparently Tara Reid is a fast learner or something because she finished her rehab in less than a month. Mere mortals take much longer generally to sort out their issues, but Tara is no mere mortal. First of all she has so much surgery that she is probably bionic or at least some kind of silicone/plastic combination that makes it much easier to control addictions. I think People Magazine is a little pissed at Tara and their promised get out of rehab exclusive. Sure, they dutifully ran the full length quotes from their source which is Tara's publicist, but they also took a little jab at her.
They basically said, yeah, we know it looks crazy that she is out of rehab in less than a month, but we are Kneepads magazine so we will say that she is really positive about her future and her family just could not be more thrilled. Uh huh. I bet they would have been more thrilled if she had stayed in about another month. Of course there are no quotes from family members, just Tara's publicist. Since it is Tara who pays her and not the family, I think we know what story we are getting.
I just love how addicts think they are cured and are ready to go. I don't know why she has to rush out of there. I mean unless some reality show has called, I don't think she probably has much lined up work wise. Oh, I guess she could go host some party at a club but she only gets paid like $2500 a night for that so that is hardly worth leaving rehab early. Now that she has left, I guarantee you the paps will be following her like they have not done in awhile just to see if they can catch her slipping up because those photos would be worth some money. I don't know if she is ready for that kind of pressure. Will be very interesting to watch.
All weekend I kept thinking of a way I could write about the Jett Travolta situation, and well weekend I kept thinking that each different angle was still a little too snarky. The problem is there is so much misinformation out there that it is hard to figure out exactly what happened other than the fact that Jett appears to have had a seizure, bumped his head and died.
I think there will be time for lots of questions later. Whether Jett had autism or Kawasaki disease does not change that fact that John and Kelly lost their son. I don't care how cold and heartless they seem, I doubt they wanted to lose their son and so I have a hard time piling on to their misery.
There will be plenty of time in the future to ask questions about why someone who bills himself as a professional photographer on his website was acting as a 24 hour nanny and caretaker for Jett. Whether it is because he has been alleged in the past to be John Travolta's gay lover is a good question. He was also the person to discover Jett.
Did John and Kelly take Jett off his seizure medicine because of the Church or was it really because it was not helping? Who knows? I just find it hard to believe that anyone can know for sure what kind of medicine Jett was on prior to his death. I'm sure the autopsy report will have a list of drugs in his system so that should give us an idea. I'm sure they will also be able to tell if Jett suffered from autism. The thing is, let's say that he did have autism. Publicly John has said Jett suffered from Kawasaki. Isn't it up to John and Kelly to decide what they share to the world about the medical condition of their minor son? How is it any of our business? Just because the Scientologists believe that autism does not exist, doesn't mean all of their members agree. There are a lot of religions that say you should not drink, but it doesn't mean everyone follows it.
The timeline question is the big question with the police saying one thing and all of John Travolta's people saying another. Apparently though the entire townhouse where the family was staying is only about 1,000 square feet and Jett and the two caretakers for him were down in the basement so it is not like there should have been much of a lag time between head hitting and them discovering him unless the two were busy doing something else.
Below is a great video that RADAR acquired. It is an interview with one of the EMT's who responded to the scene.
