Mariah Carey Isn't Pregnant. Just Having An Awful Day

Yesterday, I wasn't the only site to run that truly awful photo of Mariah Carey. Lucky for her most sites just attributed it to pregnancy and so gave her a break. Ummm. According to her she isn't pregnant and blames the dress, her hair, her weight and everything else for looking like crap. Apparently Mariah reads gossip sites religiously and so right after the pictures started emerging she kept doing that whole Twitter thing. Well, lets face it, Mariah wasn't really Twittering she had Nick do it. How do I know she had Nick do it?

"I don't know what was worse, the bleak angles and bright peach dress ... or the b.s. commentary/blogs, but Nick looked cute."

Uh huh. Nice of Nick to throw in the last line about himself. He doesn't have to worry about her reading it though, she just looks at the pictures and has someone read to her.

"And if I gained a few pounds.. my trainers back living with me again."

I don't think she looks fat. She is 40 years old. She just looked completely different from the way she usually looks. Maybe we are so used to her dressing like an 18 year old hooker that when she actually wears something that could be considered almost churchable clothing she just looks odd. So, no fear for now. Mariah is not reproducing. If she got pregnant it would involve having sex with Nick, and I am still not convinced she has sex with him. Sure they are married, but I have always thought of it as an air kiss pat on the back before you finish shining my shoes kind of marriage.

Marlee Matlin Was A Drug Addict And Abused By William Hurt

Last night, I was sitting around re watching the Curling World Championships from Sunday night. In case you have it on your TiVo ready to watch I won't tell you that Scotland beat Canada in a heart breaker. Whooops. Anyway, the thing about Curling is that you don't have to pay really close attention to the television and so I was surfing through the internet and saw that Marlee Matlin had finally come clean and spilled the beans about her life and abusive relationship with William Hurt.

Back in the day, when she was in her teens and Hurt was already a dirty old man he pretty much beat her everyday. This was true even when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Definitely a beating day. He had to put her in her place. Of course back then she was also doing so much coke and pot that she couldn't even tell the difference between the two and just did them to do them. In her book she says the only person she even knew other than Hurt was her drug dealer.

Marlee has always been a very quiet person and kept everything within. I think the best thing she has ever done was going on Dancing With The Stars because it allowed her to be able to express herself that nothing else ever has, and gave her the power to write this book. Marlee says she and Hurt never spoke about the book and the last time she saw him was 3 years ago, but I guarantee he knew it was coming. I wish it would have come out sooner. Hurt has gone through a string of girlfriends, wives and baby mamas. I'm glad Marlee finally came out and said what happened.

NY Daily News Blind Item

Which young songbird not only had lipo on her stomach, but even got the “back fat” sucked out from under her bra line?

Susan Boyle - Britain's Got Talent

It is not very often that Simon Cowell is left speechless by a performance. Susan Boyle stunned the judges and the UK with her version of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables. You have to listen to her story and then watch her sing. Seriously. It is well worth your time.

Today's Blind Items

A couple of months ago in this space I talked about the actress who left her coke out while she went to answer the phone and her child found it. The child of course was copying what mommy had been doing. Well, apparently mommy's habit is getting out of control again because she was at a swim class with her child. She was in the water with her child and several other parents and yet went to the dressing room 3 times in a 45 minute class. Each time she went, she would leave her child to be watched over by another parent or the teacher of the class.

Phil Spector Found Guilty Of 2nd Degree Murder

Music producer Phil Spector has been found guilty of second degree murder in the death of actress Lana Clarkson. This was the second trial in this case. The first trial resulted in a hung jury when they couldn't agree on a verdict.

Random Photos Part One

Billy Idol & Debbie Harry deserve the top spot on their own, but put them together looking this good and it is guaranteed.
Anna Paquin looks a little shaky on that bike.
Christina Applegate enjoying a typical Hollywood breakfast. Coffee and cigarettes. You would think that being a breast cancer survivor, she really wouldn't want to push her luck by smoking.
I have not seen Danielle Fishel in a long time.
Donal Logue is always a favorite. He also updates his Facebook page constantly which is cool except he uploads photos and then takes them down and uploads new ones and takes them down. So, as a consequence, your home page can look like a Donal Logue photo spread at times.
Keane - Perth
Gilles Marini is always smiling. I wish other celebrities would be excited they are making big bucks and not doing any work. I hate when they are on the red carpet looking as if it is a chore.
I don't know how much Reebok is paying people like Holly Madison to come get photographed on their trapeze workout thingy, but I have noticed that with the exception of maybe one or two people, they have all been actresses who could probably use a few bucks.
The cast of one of the best shows ever, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
Jimmy Jean Louis and a first time appearance for Costas Mandylor, at least in the photos.
God, I wish they were wearing shirts that said I'm with stupid. Look at the expressions on their face. Now, prior to going into the restaurant, Jessica had her hair braided. When she left, it looked like this, and take it from me, she left wearing absolutely no panties. Now, she could have just given them to her dad who was eating with her, or maybe she and Tony had a quickie in the bathroom. Of course judging by the horrified looks on their faces, they could have caught Joe and Tina in the bathroom.
An Easter Bunny dressed like Kate Beckinsale.
A very lovely Liv Tyler.
If you ever need a laugh, this is the photo that will do it. She thinks she looks good, doesn't she? I wonder if she is pregnant.
This is exactly how I imagine Melanie Griffith sitting at home every night. She looks like the witch in Sleeping Beauty.
"Hi Dug. Wear r u? :)"
"Hi PaRis, Im in Amsterdam. Where r u?"
"I'm in Hamsterdam 2"

"We should hook up Dug."
"Yeah, pot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yeah, that's hot"
"PaRiS, I have a burning sensation when I pee, is that normal?"
The $25 million dollar home Michael Jackson is renting. I bet he blows all his London money before he even earns it, then he will cancel the shows and let people try and sue him.
Remind me to never go on vacation with Princess Eugenie. Last year she was in India when the terrorist attacks occurred and this year she is in Thailand while they are having riots.
No snark for once. It's the princess with the princesses.
Happy 30th birthday Rudi Huxtable.
Happy 50th birthday to Perry Farrell. Notice the teleprompter so as to not forget the lyrics. Hello Jessica Simpson.
If this were an actress instead of Rob Estes everyone would say she was pregnant because he is touching his stomach.
Your once a month Twilight photo from the set of New Moon. It's very interesting that Michael Sheen signed on to the movie to play the King of The Vampires as it were.
It has been a long time since Skeet Ulrich was in the photos.
On Friday in Los Angeles - "If that Hannah Montana movie beats us, I will do Pacifier 2"
I don't know that I have seen Will Arnett and Amy Poehler's baby before.

Hey Today Show. Stop Kissing Butt And Ask A Question

LeAnn Rimes was on The Today show this morning. She was on the show to promote her new book. So, in return for giving her national publicity and increased book sales, Today got what in return? Nothing. They didn't ask her one question about her affair. They didn't even try and evasively ask a question about it.

It isn't like they didn't have opportunities either. They did. At one point LeAnn said that people are fascinated about her personal life. I don't really agree with that, but whatever. She then could have been led into discussing why her personal life has been in the news lately. They could have asked anything, but instead they just let her talk about what she wanted to talk about and gave her softball questions.

These people want to come on the show because it sells books. You are already doing them one favor. You don't need to do another by not asking questions. When a "news" show does this all they are doing is being a publicist for the actress or actor or singer. It would be like if that ship captain who got rescued yesterday came on the show tomorrow and they spent the entire segment talking about his favorite recipes at sea.
