Neanderthal Man
2008-01-25 01:36:00 My rant for today?. Why is it that some people feel the need to go out of their way to show the world just how big of an A-hole they can be? You would think that a walking, talking anus's (or would that be ani?) would try to downplay the fact that verbal excrement is what spews out of their mouths, but no?they want to make sure that everyone is aware of this fact. Heath Ledger has died, regardless of how he died, what caused his death, etc., he is dead and a little girl has lost her daddy. Rather than having an ounce of civility we have some cretins who jump on the chance to be attention whores ?Look at me! Look at me!? and commence with the verbal diarrhea. All I can say to them is STFU, please.Here is what is causing the Aging Disco Diva to flip her polyester, neon-orange wig:Nice, huh? I bet Fox News radio is really proud John Gibson. What a gem of a human being.Some pinhead named the Ultimate Warrior weighed in on the subject by writing "His (Heath Ledger) kid is with... More About: Neanderthal
Fighting, Ever Fighting, For a Wildcat Victory!
2008-01-24 05:35:00 Kansas State Sports WebsiteThere is joy in Wildcat land tonight. Our women, who played at home, destroyed Iowa State:"Marlies Gipson recorded her fifth double-double of the season and Kimberly Dietz scored a team-high 16 points as Kansas State ran past Iowa State, 80-49, Wednesday evening at Bramlage Coliseum. With the win, Kansas State (13-5, 5-0 Big 12) extended its winning streak to eight games, the longest since a nine-game streak last season and advanced to 5-0 in the Big 12 for the first time since the 2002-03 season."And our men, despite some real Boulder home town "referee cooking", beat Colorado this evening:"Michael Beasley scored 26 of his game-high 29 points in the second half and had 13 rebounds, leading Kansas State to a 72-56 victory over Colorado Wednesday night. Beasley was 9-for-15 shooting in the second half. Bill Walker added 18 points for Kansas State (13-4, 3-0 Big 12) which won for the fourth straight time. The Wildcats beat Colorado for the fourth consec... More About: Victory , Fighting , Kansas State University
Shame, Shame, Shame
2008-01-23 23:26:00 If it?s Wednesday, it has to be a bat-shit crazy Britney day?. Well today was another court date so Britwreck pushed her latest boy-toy aside, dragged her arse out of bed, pulled on her least grease stained dress and headed to the court house?.according to media reports she got there, entered the building, but evidently never made it to the court room. Probably too confusing with all those rooms and signs with cryptic things written on them like ?Room 1? or ?Courtroom A? and stuff like that?someone needed to help the poor thing out and leave a trail of Cheetos and Red Bull cans for her to follow...or put a sign on the courtroom door that read "24 hour Gas Station: Eat and Get Gas Here" Better yet, leave an open bag of spicy pork rinds in the middle of a hall and when she swoops down to claim her prize, shoot a tranquilizer dart into her butt, throw a butterfly net over her and drag her nutty ass to a hospital. It is reported that she headed home after wandering around the court... More About: Britney Spears , Tom Cruise , Shame
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
2008-01-23 02:51:00 Everyone is still reeling about the Heath Ledger news. The latest information is that police did not find any illegal drugs in the apartment and there was no sign that he had been drinking. Some type of sleeping pills were found by his body but there are conflicting reports as to whether it was a prescription sleep medication or an over the counter medication. It is being reported that he had sick with pneumonia. So damn sad.Wildcat News ESPN giving my Wildcats some love Has the time come for the Wildcats? (click to view article)"This might be the year that Kansas State finally beats Kansas in Manhattan. It has been since 1983 that the Wildcats have beat their in-state rival in their own building, but with Bill Walker finally coming around and Michael Beasley still a load inside -- this may be the year. Do not get me wrong, I have KU as my No. 1 team in the country right now, but after watching KSU destroy A&M Saturday night, I am convinced that KSU is KU's next threa...

Heaven Knows
2008-01-22 01:10:00 We received word that Suzanne Pleshette passed away this weekend... I wanted to be her when I grew up. She was beautiful, funny, ballsy and you just knew she wouldn?t take crap off of anyone. In short I adored and envied her. I mean my gosh?.she was married to TROY DONAHUE ? if you ask who is Troy Donahue I owe you a beeyoch slap for making me feel so damn old?(He was a huge hunk back in the day.)Suzanne was also married to Tom Poston, how much fun would that have been?She was a classy lady who will be missed.Today's Gossip: The latest word out of BritneyLand is that she has multiple personalities. Insiders say that besides the normal Britney (yes, I laughed out loud as read that phrase?an oxymoron if I ever saw one) there is ?British Britney? who speaks with a really bad British accent (must be what Madonna suffers from also) and a ?Nympho Britney? who wears pink wigs and shags anything that moves. How could they forget about ?Trailer Trash Britney? who does not understan... More About: Britney Spears , Tom Cruise , Heaven , Wildcats
Oh Fight You K-State Wildcats!
2008-01-20 20:05:00 The Aging Disco Diva does not normally blog on weekends but I am trying to find something constructive to do (that does not involve consuming the caloric equivalent of a small, third world country) My all-consuming interests do stretch beyond juicy gossip, expensive chocolate, imported champagne and pool boys with six-pack abs. My two greatest passions are my family and Kansas State University. If I had to choose between my favorite Cheese Cloth Shirt and my beloved Wildcats ?well, the shirt would have to go.Though I was born in the center of the disco world (New York of course) I spent my formative boogey years (ages 18-21) as a disco diva tearing up the dance floor in Mother?s Worry, the hot disco spot in Aggieville (Manhattan, Kansas) while attending KSU.Yes, I moved from the Big Apple to the Little Apple to attend college and have never regretted the decision.Aggieville is one of the many reasons why I love Manhattan. It is a six block shopping district built right off campus... More About: Fight , Kansas State University
Overture From Tommy (A Rock Opera)
2008-01-18 23:55:00 I did get a few minutes late last night to read the first chapter of “Tom Cruise: The Unauthorized Biography” and as promised, I will share with you a recap and my reactions. But first….this is so friggin’ hysterical you just have to watch it:************************************** ****Seriously, that was some funny sheeyat. On a related note: I lust Anderson Cooper, not only could he eat crackers in my bed, I would tenderly feed them to him…one…by…one. Yes, yes I know—the prevailing wisdom is that he plays for the same team, but an Aging Disco Diva can dream can’t she? Anyway, here is Anderson interviewing a scientoKook about the “church’s” stand on psychiatry:Go Anderson Go! (click here)Some of today’s gossip stories:Eddie Murphy and his sorta’ bride have decided to sorta’ divorce. Yeah, it makes no sense but neither does the sorta’ wedding they had two weeks ago in Bora Bora. They did release this statement to the press: "While the recent sym...

Afternoon Delight
2008-01-17 21:28:00 Aging Disco Divas don?t do snow?well, at least this diva doesn?t, but I was running out of coffee beans, chocolate bon-bons, Krispy Kreme doughnuts and caviar (the four major food groups) So I grumpily pulled on my Afghan fur trimmed coat and put on my platform boots (think the Olsen Twins?well perhaps four or five Olsen Twins?the Diva HAS been hitting the Godiva chocolate a bit hard since Halloween) fired up the exploding Pinto, and headed to the store. For you young pups: Here is what an Afghan fur trimmed coat looks like. Great little coat; every disco diva owned at least one---the smell it emits when wet is a natural bug repellent--eau de wet dog...but I digress....Well, anyway?.as I was tottering towards the coffee isle I did see Andrew Morton ?s Unauthorized Tom Cruise biography on sale so I grabbed a copy; as I said in an earlier posting, I have been dying to get a hold of this....any book that is causing 8 million foil hat wearing adherents to be walking around since Tuesday...

Something In the Air
2008-01-16 21:46:00 Jiminy Crickets?..this morning I was greeted with news that yet another rich and famous womb (or the womb in close contact with a rich and famous pickle) is now with child. This morning?s news is that Matthew McConaughey is going to be a poppa?.of course let?s be honest?. I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers. What the frig is it with all these celeb babies? Is it something in the air? Is it something in the water? Well, the Aging Disco Diva thinks she knows exactly what is causing this celebrity baby boom?. Caloric terrorism?.yup?. all over Los Angeles there are coffee shops, run by plus-sized woman (in L.A. plus size is anything above a size 0?.size 2 is you are over 6? tall) who are secretly switching skim milk with 1% milk when making those overpriced lattes and cappuccinos for the Hollywood in-crowd?the result being that these lollypop heads? body fat percentages are rising from 1% to 2% or in really extreme cases (gasp) 3% and their uterus's and ovaries are s...
One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
2008-01-16 01:47:00 In keeping with yesterday?s blog entry: cue in the ?Twilight Zone? music?..Buzz, buzz, buzz?.you can hear the internet buzzing like a killer bee hive today and it is all about Tiny Tom?s ?um?interesting?.. video. I kept expecting that at any moment during the video his head would start spinning, he would vomit pea soup and start speaking in a deep voice?.this is some creepy, bizarre sheeyat:TT Video"When you're a Scientologist, and you drive by an accident, you know you have to do something about it, because you know you're the only one who can really help... We are the way to happiness. We can bring peace and unite cultures."?Tiny Tom Um?.ok?. double sheeyat?I sure hope that there will be more than Tiny Tom on the scene if I am in an accident?.a doctor, EMT, nurse?you know?someone who ACTUALLY has some kind of MEDICAL training would be nice. Of course, no discussion of this subject is complete without watching this:Some Scientology tenants: 75 million years ago Xenu, ... More About: Nest
The Twilight Zone
2008-01-15 03:48:00 This promises to be one of those weeks where you will constantly hear the theme from the ?Twilight Zone ? playing softly in the background?..When I turn on CNN this afternoon what do I see? War in the Middle East, the economy sucks, presidential primaries, researchers at the University of Minnesota were able to create a beating heart in a lab, big snow storm hit the east coast? No?live video of Britney Spears finally getting her arse out of bed and heading, hours late, to the hearing to determine whether or not she should get custody of her kids. You must admit...she puts on a great show. I loved her sense of fashion decorum?. What to wear when you want to show the world that you are a responsible mother?? Why, a lace see-through, mini, cootchie showing, oh-so-not-virginal white dress complete with mile high ?F-me? shoes of course!Contrast this to what Catatonic Katie wore this morning to her Good Morning America interview:Now, I am not a big fan of the ?Let?s look like we are a mat...
Britney and Frances
2008-01-05 16:36:00 Every time you think it could not be any more bizarre in Britney World something else happens that makes you literally gasp and say out loud "WTF????" I will admit, I love to read my gossip rags and prowl my gossip blogs, and Britney has been THE story the last two years (sorry Tiny Tom, Catatonic Katie and Turkey Baster Baby, when the mother ship comes and whisks you away you might be able to compete with BritneyWorld) But come on.... we read gossip items with a huge grain of salt and laugh when the rags finally manage to get one out of 200 stories right... but Britney has been whole other ball of wax. Her antics are so public, so "out there" that the rag sheets do not have to make anything up or even work at a story. For crying out loud---she bedded a married paparazzi last week and did not even bother to try and sneak around (heck not even Paris is that sleazy) The big question has not been whether or not Britney is a whack job, the question was WHY is she such a friggin' wa...

In the beginning.....
More articles from this author:2008-01-04 21:12:00 Everything has to have a beginning and this blog is no different. I will try my hardest to amuse, share and probably annoy and disgust anyone who stumbles on this voyeuristic journey into my mind.I can be pretty obsessive when it comes to things that catch my attention....devoting tons of time and energy towards exploring, dissecting and analyzing topics to death....until I lose interest and then it is on to the next great adventure. There have been some constants over the years: those things I never seem to lose interest in--namely my family, computers, Kansas State University , chocolate and at the risk of coming off as the queen of narcissism--me. I have long pondered these questions: Why am I here? What is my purpose? Why do so many good things seem to happen in my life? Why am I considered to be lucky? Is it a coincidence that so many major events in my life seemed to materialize because I was in a certain place at a certain time? Why is it that I almost seem to be able to "wil...
