Someone Needs To Tell Lindsay Lohan No

I know there seems to be a Lindsay Lohan story everyday, but she brings it on herself. Well, not entirely. Today even though there is more bad behavior from Lindsay, I am more upset at the world of enablers around her which seems to encourage this behavior. On Friday I posted a picture of Lindsay at a jewelry event at Kitson for Pascal Mouawad. Lindsay got paid to be there and was given $500 in store credit. According to PopTarts, she got that increased to $1000.

Well, Lindsay went nuts in the store and the next thing you know she had $15,000 worth of stuff and wanted it all for free. She yelled and threatened and got her credit up to $2000 but the store wouldn't budge without the permission of the owner of the store. Lindsay then huffed and puffed and started talking smack about Pascal to Jermaine Dupri who was the host of the event. Jermaine had no idea who Lindsay even was. Love it.

Lindsay promised to come back the next day and take pictures with shopping bags if the store would just let her have her $15K worth of stuff. The store wouldn't budge. Good for them. Lindsay told the store she would be back the next day for the rest of the stuff but never showed up.

Meanwhile, this guy Pascal was asked about Lindsay and he didn't care at all she was acting like she did.

“Lindsay is a close friend of mine, who has a keen eye for jewelry,” Mouawad told us. “We have thrown around the idea to collaborate together to create an exclusive line for a retailer who has shown interest in a fashion line designed by her.”

Really? She was talking smack about him, embarrassed him and he still wants to work with her? Someone just needs to tell her no and maybe if enough people tell her no she wouldn't feel like she could get away with all of this stuff and finally realize she needs help.

Janet Jackson & Jermaine Dupri Are Over

I know Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri were together for almost seven years but when I would see them together I never really got the feeling they were into each other. Hell, until they got together I thought Jermaine played for the home team.

Well now he can go back to doing what he was doing because the couple are over. No Jermaine at the memorial. No pictures of Janet and Jermaine consoling each other over the death of her brother. I think it has been over for a few months but because Janet is so secretive no one even thought to ask until Jermaine kept being a no show everywhere that Janet was during the past few weeks.

She probably would have kept it hidden until she found a new boyfriend. She is very good at that. It is tough in this town to be married for nine years and have no one know that until you get divorced. Jermaine was a producer on her last two CD's which did really poorly. Don't mix business and pleasure, especially when one of the people can fire the other or will be ordered to fire the other by a record company. Too much pressure.

I Feel Bad For Jermaine Dupri

There are lots of reasons I feel bad for Jermaine Dupri. I think first and foremost is that he has to interact with Michale Jackson. I think that would be uncomfortable for most people. I mean think about if you were to meet him. The first five seconds would be ok, but then after that, all of these things would start flashing through your head and I think that would be awkward. That and the burka and him peering at your kid through the eye part would be a bit unsettling as well.

Apparently this thing called the internet and all the blogs decided last week that Janet Jackson was pregnant. While I will admit there is a group e-mail list of about the top 100 blogs and celebrity sites, I will say that none of us have ever conspired to make Janet Jackson pregnant. Oh sure, Jesus over at Drunken Stepfather has wanted to make Janet pregnant, but I don't think he really shared his plans with all of us. So, last week Jermaine was telling the world that Janet was not pregnant.

This week, the rumors have all been that he and Janet split up after four years together. So, again he got onto his blog and denied all of those reports. Next week the plan is to say that Michael and Janet are having a baby in order to create the perfect singing and dancing specimen. At that point Jermaine will probably just give up denying everything and just give in to all of the celebrity bloggers and tabloids and let us just say whatever the hell we want.

I do think that it is kind of interesting that Janet herself has never said anything. How come she never gets on the internet or talks to her fans. Maybe Jermaine is protesting a little too much. Maybe Janet is pregnant, but not by him and that is the reason they broke up. That is a good story. OK, I'm sticking with that one.

If You Are Going To Beard, Then You Need To Get The Stories Straight

I think it was Monday that I talked about how Jermaine Dupri gave an interview where he said that he and Janet Jackson were so excited to have kids and they were going to get started right after she gets done with her current tour and that Janet has been dying to be a mom and blah, blah, blah.

I then made some remark about Michael Jackson and his babysitting skills and we went on with our days.

Well, apparently in his haste to make Kneepads Magazine happy and content, he may have neglected one very important part of the story. Ummm. It was all in his imagination. Janet doesn't want kids and didn't even know Jermaine wanted kids or that she was going to have them after the tour or any of it.

In an interview with that guy from American Idol who hosts a radio show here in LA, the moussed one asked Janet about how she was preparing and general baby questions. She had no idea Jermaine was going around saying these things, but after freaking out in her mind managed to come up with this precious gem.

"I guess he is [ready to become a dad]."

So, to all of you couples and future couples out there who plan on bearding for one another, or just for couples in general. It is all about the communication. Pretty tough to have a kid as a couple when one person doesn't want one and doesn't even know you do.

I'll Take The Harry Caray Glasses

Each year my glasses get thicker and thicker. They are not quite to the Harry Caray level yet, but they are getting there. Oh, I could probably correct my vision with some laser surgery, but I am scared out of my mind that the doctor will sneeze or that he will be pissed because his wife just found out he was cheating with the 18 year old receptionist and that I will go blind. I could probably handle being deaf, but I don't ever want to be blind.

There are a bunch of rumors floating around the internet that Jermaine Dupri went in for some laser eye surgery last week and there were some kind of complications and now he is practically blind. Dupri canceled a lecture last week after the surgery. One spokesperson for Dupri said that he is not suffering major problems from his sight while another spokesperson said the claims are not true. Unfortunately, the person who did the asking used the first spokesperson quote and so no one knows if the reports of him not suffering major problems is untrue or the fact that he is virtually blind are untrue.

Either way, and I hope he is fine, there were some complications from the surgery and that would be my worst nightmare. Go in and you are fine and perfectly happy seeing out of your coke bottle glasses. Some coupon comes in the mail for a do one eye, get one free which you combine with that KFC coupon you have been saving forever and some Pepsi bottle caps and the next thing you know your eye is on fire because the guy who was doing the surgery didn't pay his electric bill and so the machine shut off halfway through.

With glasses you never have to worry about that problem, and if they break you get a new pair. Of course if you get the heavy, thick black, plastic frames they are always in style and never break. Just keep getting those lenses thicker and thicker.
