Let's Start With Some Photos and Video--Mandy Moore In Vanity Fair

Most months Mandy Moore would have got the cover with these photos. However she had the luck or misfortune to be up against The Soprano's issue. At least more people will take a look at her and read what she has to say, which is more than she would usually get. She does look really good in these photos, and of course there is a video of the photo shoot as well.

Real World Update

I found this very short clip on YouTube from 1995. It has some of the cast members from LA, SFO and the original NY. Over the next few days if you find any great clips, e-mail them to me and I will post them and give them a permanent link so we can remember the best parts of the best shows.

The Revenge Of James

So many people wrote me complaining that I always post photos of Andrew G from Australian Idol, but never post photos of co-host James Mathison. Honestly, if I could get away with it I would just post pics of Noa and be done with both of them. James knows I want him to feel the love of the blog also, and so here is a tribute to James and as a special bonus for him, the first episode of ALF. (3 parts)

What cutie-pie actress at a pre-awards party let it be known that she was single and looking for a new guy. How did she let everyone know? By making out with two different prospects during the night.***I love the beach***

Mini-Kindness
Last weekend at the poker tournament this B list actress who has been in two hit shows back to back was all kindness. An elderly man was getting up from his table and was struggling to get all of his chips together and his belongings while also keeping his balance. While this was going on, a group of four 20 something guys were playing grab ass with each other and just being asses in general ran into the elderly man. Our actress rushed to give aid to the elderly man whose chips and belongings had scattered beneath tables and chairs while at the same time unleashing a string of obscenities at the gang of four. When she unleashed her verbal tirade, it also caused the other players at the man's table to stop ignoring the situation and start helping. The gang of four looked sheepish and embarrassed but still did not help. The other players and our actress gathered the chips and belongings of the elderly man and our actress helped him to his feet and the other side of the casino where he was meeting his ride home. She stayed with him until she was sure he was fine and had cashed in his winnings.

She was doing so well also. This starlet who is allegedly sober was seen popping pills while drinking out of her "water" bottle this past weekend. Was it because of the recent photos of her which showed off her "baby bump?"

(Lindsay Lohan)


A little background to the one below. On February 14, 2007 I told everyone that I thought this couple would be together next year. Then, on February 17, 2007 they got the license and almost got married. The almost did it again refers to February 2005 when she and DJ AM did the same exact thing, and that Nicole was part of the party that was there when Nicky Hilton got married in 2004 in Las Vegas.

February 19, 2007

This woman is no stranger to Vegas weddings and almost did it again. She and her boyfriend of fifteen minutes got drunk enough to take out a license and were IN the chapel when she realized maybe a quickie wedding was not the way to go. She backed out, but the license is still valid and still ready to go should she change her mind.

( Nicole Richie and Joel Madden)

So, just two new ones today. Don't be greedy for four. You got some answers didn't you?

So she shares a name with a female former party legend. She is supposed to be clean and sober, but that was just so not the case the other night. Another question is where is she getting it? Is she getting it from one of her minders, because she is rarely ever alone anymore.

So this actress/singer recently dealt with a stalker and does not need anything out of the ordinary. So when this very rich guy took more than a passing interest in her and began sending gifts and flowers she did not find it fun or flattering and was just downright scared. Overreaction? probably, but everyone would be a little nervous in her shoes.

More Links--Hey It Is Something To Do Plus Tara Loves Ketchup

First one actually is not a link and I can't find the story anywhere. Tara Reid is opening a new fast food restaurant called Ketchup. It should be open by the end of the month and will be fast food like you have never seen before. **UPDATE**Thanks to hez who found a link. Also, the article suggests Ms. Reid does not have any money. I might check real estate records before I made that statement.

Did you enjoy Little House On The Prairie? How about the career of Patrick Swayze? I am a no on both but I understand most people are not like me and probably loved at least one. Patrick Swayze and Melissa Gilbert are going to be the leads in The Little House On The Prairie musical which is planned for next spring. Next month they are going to do an invitation only practice run.

Simon Cowell was once offered $100K to watch a couple have sex and then critique their performance. He turned it down and now regrets it. Hell, for $100K I would even watch Randy and Simon have sex. Thought I was going to say Ryan huh? Remember, it is be nice to Ryan week.

Angelina Jolie says she is going to be a stay at home mom. That doesn't mean she will not be in a different hotel each night of the year, it just means I am guessing that she will stay at the hotel with the kids? How come there is no Pitt on this child's name? Did Brad pull a Billy Bob?

Bobby Brown copies Flava Flav's dating show. One big difference is that Bobby thinks Flav's show was too classy and empowered women too much. Bobby wants to really be trashy. Wants woman to serve him food while they walk around in thong bikinis. I'm guessing Whitney didn't do that.

It doesn't take 3 days to sober up or to recover from a hangover. Can you spell R to the E to the H to the A to the B?

Veronica Mars has been canceled. Everyone including me had assumed it really was in hiatus. When the showrunner doesn't know it is going to be canceled, then everyone gets sandbagged. The first news I heard of it was in the sobbing voicemail a client left on my phone last night.

Lisa Kudrow gets a job.

"Don't call me, Larry." Well actually I guess you could call because I want to know everything!!

Real World Almost Over

When I saw that The Real World was going to be casting for its final season I thought I would spend some talking about it. I actually remember the first season and I have been hooked on and off depending on the cast until about 5 years ago when it finally lost its appeal. I remember when they aired the ten year reunion special that some of the cast looked so old, but they were only a few years older than me. Most people would say the early years were the best before the GGW mentality took place. I think the first years were great, but I also love the story lines from later years from Seattle and New Orleans and San Diego. Las Vegas to me is where it finally jumped the shark. There was really nothing any cast could do to compete with that season. Chicago tried and so did San Diego, but it felt like they were just copying Las Vegas. The Evil Beet has a great piece on the show and you can read it all here. However, there is one portion that truly says it all.

And my depression is furthered by the comments left by the fucking fetuses who are upset that they are too young to ever have their shot at drunkenly flashing their breasts and denying their eating disorders week after precious week for a national audience.

Exhibit 1:
PLEASE DONT LET THIS BE TRUE I’LL CRY I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ON THE REAL WORLD IM 15 THIS YEAR GONNA BE 16 SO WHEN I WAS GOPNNA BE 18 I WAS GONNA DROP COLLEGE OMG I FEEL DEPRESSED SERIOUSLY!! OMG nooo!! it cant im gonna send in a video!

Exhibit 2:
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll be 18 in six months, and i’m totally in love with the Real World. There are so many cities to go to, PLZ, just a few more seasons.

These people weren’t even born when The Real World premiered. To them, the name Pedro is synonymous with an iconic class president candidate, not American youth’s initial face of the AIDS epidemic. They don’t even deserve to be on this show if they don’t remember how it started, when there was substance and meaning and insight and, just, ARGH.
I am so old.
