Quick Hits Part Two
Free Food For Everyone - Val Kilmer is thinking of running for Governor of New Mexico in 2010. Apparently the message he thinks will get him elected is free fast food for everyone. In order to demonstrate his willingness to do what he promises, Val will make it a point to eat at every fast food place in the state at least twice a year.
No One Likes A Loser - In an interview with ABC News, Kate Winslet has said she doesn't want to be the Susan Lucci of the Oscars. Although she loves the fact she has been nominated for so many Academy Awards she would like to win one of them at least once. She doesn't want her headstone to read the most nominated loser in the the history of the Awards. Well, sure no one wants that, but think about how many people don't get nominated or make more than $10K a year acting or the starving children of the world or the fact that Nicolas Cage wears hairplugs and you can see there are more pressing issues than actually winning one of those statutes. That being said, I hope she wins also.
No Beads For Carlos Mencia - Apparently all those really bad jokes Carlos makes about Hurricane Katrina victims finally made their way to the city of New Orleans and as a result, Carlos was yanked as a celebrity rider in the Orpheus parade during Mardi Gras. Mencia had also been scheduled to perform after the parade, but is probably not going to do that either. An Orpheus spokesperson said that Carlos was not sensitive to the needs of the community and is not someone they want to have associated with the parade. Joan Rivers is his replacement. Nice. Just please don't let her flash for beads.
