Simon Cowell is taking on Shaq like cash, Elvis Crespo is going to get naked soon, Hayden Panettiere beat him to it,

July 1st, 2009

cuz it does not surprise the kids that when they finally go on vacation, everyone decides that is a good week to die.

New York City’s Gay Pride Parade was bright, sunny, and faaaabbbulllous. Where was I that day? In Colorado eating some eggs and a ton of buffalo burgers. I know I know. I’ll plan my vacation to not be on Pride weekend next time. [gothamist]

Express is suing Forever 21. I don’t know who to root for in this fight. [racked]

Simon Cowell’s been offered $144 million dollars to stay on American Idol. That’s a Shaq like number, isn’t it? [ONTD]

Little Mermaid is closing August 30th and rumors are it didn’t recoup. Why? Because marketing does not make a crap expensive show any better than it really is. [ONTD]

So Michael Jackson died. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. I heard about it while walking around a little Colorado mountain town. My fiancee’s phone buzzed with a text, she told me MJ was dead, and then I noticed that everyone else in the small Colorado mountain town were receiving cell phone calls. Everyone needed to share MJ’s demise. And it seems some people are doing that literally which is heart breaking. MJ brought a little bit of joy into this world and that’s the legacy he’d like to continue I bet. Though his main legacy will be gossip bloggers posting details about how Michael Jackson isn’t the biological father to his kids (his dermatologist is), a will he wrote in 2002 leaves everything to his kids and his mom, that MJ’s mom might not be the real mom either, and that MJ’s insomina was getting so bad in the months leading up to his death that he requested deadly amounts of sedatives to make him sleep. Everyone decided to buy Michael’s albums last week and People remembered that Bubbles was still alive. This story is never going to end – kinda like how I don’t believe his title as the King of Pop will ever be rivaled. [crazy blind item lawyer & evil beet]

Farrah Fawcett died the day before Michael Jackson. It’s sad that even I think of her death in relation to when MJ died. [crazy blind item lawyer]

Billy Mays died last week too. To quote everyone else, God just bought more Oxy Clean than He knows what to do with. [the superficial]

Joy Boehar just can’t get married. She got cold feet again. [evil beet]

Obama’s new Washington DC church is the Evergreen Chapel at Camp David. [get religion]

The oldest Icon of St Paul was recently discovered. It dates to the 4th century. [singing in the reign]

T.R. Knight is heading to Broadway. [people]

Hayden Panettiere is getting naked in her next film. [ONTD]

Elvis Crespo promised to pose naked if People En Espanol chose him as one of their Mas Bellos and they decided to not take his threat seriously. I don’t want to see him naked. I don’t know anyone who wants to see him naked. Do you? [guanabee]

Us Weekly paid $120,000 for Kendra Wilkinson’s wedding pictures and gave her the cover for the magazine. Then Michael Jackson died. Us tried to back out of the deal but Kendra said “Uh, no”. Hopefully Us will learn it’s lesson but it probably won’t. [ONTD]

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick showed off their new twins. [faded youth]

Avenue Q is closing in September. [ONTD]

Anna Kournikova got in a fight in Vegas. That seems to be the IT thing to do in Vegas right now. I didn’t do that the last time in Vegas. That’s probably why I’m uncool. [evil beet]

I keep posting Madonna’s Louis Vuitton ads and I’m not sure why. I think one or two of you might be interested in them but I usually can’t stand them. In fact, I really can’t stand them but I can’t turn away. I need more More MORE! [faded youth]

Jack White didn’t go to seminary, the Oscars are stupid, Nick and Vanessa split up, and Ed McMahon passed away.

June 25th, 2009

cuz the kids are on vacation and are only posting something now because they can’t sleep.

Kristen Stewart on the set of The Runaways.

Fox News briefly labeled disgraced Republican governor Mark Sanford as a democrat. I understand their confusion. The fact that Mark was cheating on his wife with a woman threw Fox News radar off. [crooks and liars]

And in the continuing the Mark Sanford drama (which I expect you all have heard about), the other woman’s street address is known (she works for the government of Argentina or is a member of the government of Argentina) and emails between the two love birds were published. What I don’t get is why this emails, which were obtained last December, weren’t published till now? South Carolina news media is all about privacy and boundaries? I don’t buy that for a second. And doesn’t the press have an obligation to exist as a check and balance to the government especially when said government (Mark Sanford) is using the people of South Carolina’s tax dollars to pay for his trips to visit his mistress? Sure the news media reported his trip to Argentina and the fact that Mark Sanford liked to visit abroad but they had the emails. Why didn’t they throw that into earlier reports? I respect respecting other people’s privacy but I don’t respect letting politicians get away with being rich and fraud loving aristocrats. Though maybe South Carolina just likes doing that. Or maybe they have a thing for latinas. I can’t blame them for that – latins are pretty saucy, sexy, and fantastic. [guanabee]

Wait. Paris Hilton turned down Ronaldo? It wasn’t the other way around? I don’t buy that for a second. Paris is dating Doug right now so that throws the whole “she’s not into sissies” argument out of the window! Maybe Paris is just against hanging with someone who currently has a real job that he actually has to attend to. [faded youth]

10 best picture nominees for the Oscars now. So which marketing genius from the studios asked the Oscars to let the studios pre-print “NOMINATED FOR BEST PICTURE” on all the movie posters for all the movies they release in a year? [people]

Jack White didn’t become a priest because he didn’t think the seminary would let him bring his new amplifier to school with him. I think this validates Luther’s view on callings and their worth. [ONTD]

Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo split up. I wonder if this has anything to do with her comment about wanting a 10 carat engagement ring? [wwtdd]

A movie about the formation of Facebook written by Aaron Sorkin?? What? [ONTD]

Creed is reforming? The end times are neigh. [ONTD]

Johnny Depp is a fan of Jack Sparrow. [ONTD]

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick’s surrogate gave birth to twins and they’re named Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge. [x17 & faded youth]

The girl who got those 56 star tattoos lied about not wanting them. [guanabee]

Ed McMahon died on Tuesday. He was 86. [ONTD]

E! Online is relatively Speidi free now but will report if one of them dies, one of them gets pregnant, one of them becomes so vapid that their body turns into a blackhole, etc etc. [ONTD]

There’s a rumor that Emma Watson is going to attend Columbia. [gothamist]

And Chris Brown made a plea deal, avoids jail time but is required to complete 180 days of community service and be on probation for 5 years. [the superficial]

Miley and Nick kissed on stage, the Stig came out, Perez got punched in the face, and Paris wore a bikini.

June 22nd, 2009

cuz the kids waited till this afternoon to actually post something today.

lady-gaga-mmvas4-305x460
The boobs, the boobs, the boobs are on fire.

Perez Hilton claims to have been punched in the face by Will.I.Am when it was really an employee of Will.I.Am that punched him and Perez decided to twitter about it rather than call the cops. Why? Well, when you’re in the world of trying to break gossip news, you don’t have a fight and/or flight response. Your first response is to post it on your blog. I get it. I’m not faulting him for that though, to be honest, I’m not surprised Perez got punched in the face. Will.I.am gave a few video responses to the press that basically raised points that everyone else seems to be making. [evil beet & the superficial]

Matthew McConaughey is in a baby making mood. [evil beet]

Paris Hilton’s recent bikini photoshoot in Dubai pissed off the locals. She had been banned from doing that very thing and now her My BFF in Dubai show is now in doubt. Paris Hilton is pretty savvy and smart when it comes to media attention. She does what she can to work and knows how she earns her keep. But was this necessarily the smartest move on her part? I know I’m talking about it so maybe. [faded youth]

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland promo pictures were released. [faded youth]

Michael Schumacher is the Stig? Oh man, I hope this is true but why do I feel like it’s not? Is it because the Stig seems to be different every few episodes (his body type seems to change)? Or maybe it has to do with it being strange that, for a decade, one of the best and well known race car drivers in the world would hide behind a helmet for some in-joke kind of thing? One idea that seems reasonable is that the Stig was invented so that multiple drivers could drive these race cars – drivers that some car companies might require to be the only ones to touch their automobiles – so the nameless individual would be a cover for all the test drivers that show up on Top Gear’s track. That’s probably right, in my opinion. But I like the reveal. I almost like it as much as I would have enjoyed if when the Stig took off his helmet, he/she revealed another helmet. [ONTD]

Miley kissed Nick onstage during a “surprise” duet together. Poor It’s still a felony Justin :( Not only did you get dissed by a 16 year old girl, the fact that every girl your own age is going to discover that your last girlfriend was 16 years old probably makes your rebound chances kinda tough. Unless you go after Hayden but she prefers 35 year olds. [evil beet]

Bo be pictured, Tony Hawk skates in the White House, and Kevin Smith rips on Ben Affleck’s wife.

June 20th, 2009

cuz the kids want the rain rain to go away.

You could win a chance to be Kathy Griffin’s gay for a day. [ONTD]

Tony Hawk skateboarded in the White House. Change we can believe in. [ONTD]

Homes and Watson character posters were revealed. [ONTD]

Ben Affleck’s wife doesn’t have a sick sense of humor. [evil beet]

Miley and Nick are officially back together and we know this because Joe accidentally said so on tv. [ONTD]

Robert Pattinson was hit by a cab, Jennifer Love Hewitt is writing a relationship book, Leighton Meester has a sex tape, and I kinda wanna see Bruno’s movie.

June 19th, 2009

cuz the kids wonder why potatoes and cheese taste so good together.

sachabaroncohenbrunothee
Bruno premier in Spain.

Kendra Wilkinson had a bachelorette party. [ONTD]

Leighton Meester has a sex tape. [ONTD]

Walter Cronkite, who is 94, isn’t doing so hot and his health has taken a turn for the worse. [ONTD]

A million pictures of Ed Westwick selling shoes and forgetting to shave. [ONTD]

Jennifer Love Hewitt is writing a relationship book. I want to comment on this but, really, there’s nothing more to add. But if a 9 year old kid can write one, I guess Jennifer should be allowed to write one too. It could be one of those books filled with “don’ts” like don’t fall for the first guy you see walking down the street or don’t talk to tabloids about how much in love you are unless you’re engaged/married or don’t do all the things I do. That book could work. [ONTD]

John and Kate are gonna divorce. They’ll announce it Monday. [ONTD]

Robert Pattinson, while filming in New York and trying to escape his 11 year old female friends, got hit by a cab. It was only a light tap and he’s fine but this just shows something I’ve always said : little girls in large numbers are deadly. DEADLY. [ONTD]

Bruno in London. [evil beet]

This post about Billy Joel and his wife splitting up is awful awful awful. The puns! Did you hear that? That is mean groaning in that omg wat way. [crazy blind item lawyer]

The Strand removed its bag check. [Racked]

Vote Spencer and Heidi off the planet, Billy Joel and his wife are splitting up, Lindsay Lohan tries to cover up her drunk tweets, and I don’t believe anything anyone from Big Brother says.

June 18th, 2009

cuz the kids think work unnecessary interferes with natural sleep schedules.

Ryan Reynolds on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.

Chris Brown has been asking for his June 22nd court trial (the one about his beating up of Rihanna) to be delayed. The judge went “ah, no”. [ONTD]

E! Online is considering banning all coverage of Spencer and Heidi but you have to vote for that to happen. So please vote. PLEASE VOTE! If you have ever seen a blue sky and some white puffy clouds and gone “wow, what a beautiful day”, you have to vote to ban Spencer and Heidi from E! Online. Spencer and Heidi are against white puffy clouds. [evil beet]

Lindsay Lohan is doing what we all do when we drunk dial, drunk email, or drunk tweet someone – we say we were hacked. It’s okay Lindsay. The first step in learning to let go and love is to admit that you drunk tweeted. It happens to the best of us. [ONTD]

My fiancee liked this video involving Taylor Swift and told me to link it. So there it is. [evil beet]

Yesterday everyone reported that Billy Joel was looking to buy his wife a restaurant. Today they announced they were splitting up. So I guess the restaurant rumor was wrong, wasn’t it? [ONTD]

Is Justin Timberlake cheating on Jessica Biel and being called out for it by Lindsay Lohan during one of her drunk tweets? [ONTD]

One of the “stars” of Big Brother: Argentina is claiming that Bill Clinton offered her $1000 dollars for sex and she gave him a lap dance. Bill Clinton’s people are saying he stayed in an played cards that night. The former leader of the free world who bedded a former Miss America is not going to stoop to sleeping with an ugly star from a bad reality tv show. Sure, he went after Monica (which started comments from my friends that he should be impeached for bad taste) but he’s older now. Older and wiser. And a rock star. He’s not Brett Michaels – he’s a little more sophisticated than that. [guanabee]

Jimmy Choo will be in an H&M near you. [racked]

Bruno is fantabulous.

June 17th, 2009

cuz the kids are going back to the office today.

Lindsay Lohan drunk tweets and wonders why Sam Ronson cheats. Oh. And the supposedly broke up again. [evil beet & ONTD]

New pictures from the movie Public Enemies were released. [ONTD]

Father Alberto Cutie married his divorcee. [guanabee]

I want to smell like a burger, someone should throw a tomato at me, Lindsay Lohan is topless and stealing jewels, and it’s okay to grow old Bruce.

June 16th, 2009

cuz the kids barely made it through their morning workout today.

SPL106849_001
Hot.

Billy Joel wants to buy his wife a restaurant because he can. [ONTD]

Did Lindsay Lohan steal $400,000 worth of jewelry after a shoot with Elle? Scotland Yard is investigating the theft. [people]

She’s also posting topless photos of herself on twitter. Yeah, I dunno either. [faded youth]

If you want to get David Letterman fired, a rally to do that starts in NYC later today. David says he’s sorry for the joke, Palin claims to have accepted his apology, but people still want to fire him. Why? Because it keeps Palin’s name front and center and ready for a run in 2012. And I hope she does run and wins the Republican nomination because that will guarantee that Obama will get another 4 year term and continue to devolve the Republican party into a group that panders only to the dwindling religious right. [faded youth]

Bruce Willis is desperately afraid of turning old. That sounds so familiar….who else is trying to run away from middle age and wisdom? I think her name starts with a D. [faded youth]

Heidi claims that Al Roker “attacked her” and that he hates women. During an interview on the Today show, Al basically called both of them on their bullshit for about 2 minutes. Heidi then went onto Ryan Seacrest’s radio show and said “To be honest, I would never be interviewed by that man again and I really would advise women especially to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely came and attacked me and I did not appreciate that at all.” That’s right everyone. Al Roker is lurking in the corners, ready to attack your daughters. Ryan, in his kiss-assy-ness, let the comment slide and didn’t jump on it like he should have. Ah well. Anyhoo, I salute you Al Roker. As much as I dislike posting about Heidi and Spencer, I will post about people standing up for human decency and integrity. [ONTD]

I want to have tomatoes thrown at me. [guanabee]

$495 for a box set from the Pixies. Yeah. No. [punk news]

Doug likes to use other people’s credit cards, Christopher Lee is now a Sir, Mel Gibson’s girlfriend has a music career (duh), and Olivia Wilde likes to stand around topless.

June 15th, 2009

cuz the kids enjoy hummus.

Here’s a happy ending to a horrible story. Colorado Rockies’ catcher Rox Torrealba’s son was kidnapped while in Venezuela. After two days, the kid was released and has been reunited with his family. [ONTD]

ChristopherLee is now a knight. [ONTD]

Olivia Wilde heats up Maxim. [ONTD]

It seems that the main reason for Paris and Doug’s mini-breakup was not that Doug was hanging out with another woman but rather he’s been using Paris’ credit cards. Yeah, that’s a big no and more proof that Doug doesn’t have a job. Paris, please, break up with him for good. If this isn’t proof of what kind of scumbag he is, I dunno what is. [the superficial]

Mel Gibson’s girlfriend released a single that he co-wrote. I haven’t listened to it because, well, I don’t want to. In fact, who does except for those listening to it for Science! Is the target demographic for this music the same as those who would buy Heidi Pratt’s music? [people]

Next season is Hannah Montana’s last. [evil beet]

A same sex couple in New York slipped through the cracks and got married because the he looked like a she. [gothamist]

Levi Johnson is part Mexican. His dad has Mexican ancestry which means Palin’s grandbaby is a part brown. This doesn’t change for a second how she views minorities in this country but I consider it some kind of poetic justice. [guanabee]

Betty White playing Beer Pong.

June 13th, 2009

cuz the kids think every day should include a little cheesy biscuit.

Betty White playing beer pong with Jimmy Fallon.

So after Paris Hilton slept with Ronaldo, she then went to Doug crying and wanting to get back together. And so they’re back together. Darnit. I was really hoping she decided to go after someone with a real job but, alas, my dream is now untrue. [ONTD]

If you’re in NYC next Thursday, want to meet Chuck Bass and really need a new pair of shoes, go to Bloomingdales. You could kill 2 birds with one stone. [ONTD]

Miley Cyrus and Nick Jonas have ‘totally reconnected’. [ONTD]

Awesome. A new superheavy element on the periodic table is going to get named soon. It was approved for inclusion on the list. 112! WOO. [io9]
