Amy Winehouse Goes to Rehab
2007-08-13 20:56:00 UK pop singer Amy Winehouse was hospitalized last week for exhaustion, but according to News of the World her hospital visit was “due to the downing of several hard drugs combined with alcohol.” This is especially ironic (not ironic at all) because her first hit single in the U.S has been a song called “Rehab .” Let ...

Hairspray
2007-08-09 17:35:00 I’ll admit it, I really like musicals, but when my brothers girlfriend wanted to see “Hairspray ” for our belated birthday girls night out I was skeptical. Through the opening scene/song I was both seriously impressed with Nikki Blonsky’s breakout performance and happy that I didn’t bring my significant other to the boisterous show. But as the ...

Whoopi Goldberg Joins ?The View?
2007-08-04 00:36:00 It was announced August 1st that Whoopi Goldberg would take Rosie O’Donnell’s open spot at “The View ” on September 4th. Personally I think this is a step up for them. They’ve tried African American ladies, they’ve tried to go with the non-stick thin, they’ve tried to get a smart woman, they’ve tried to get a funny ... More About: Entertainment , Whoopi Goldberg
Kelly Osbourne in ‘Chicago’
2007-07-30 19:02:00 It’s recently been announced that Kelly Osbourne , Ozzy’s little girl, will join London’s Cambridge Theater’s “Chicago ”. She will be playing the role of Mama Morton, the woman in charge of the prison. Uuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. We’ve all seen the movie, or at least been annoyed enough by the ad’s for it to know that this production is filled with tons of crazy singing and dancing. I think we can all agree on that. So my question is…um…why Kelly Osbourne again? Doesn’t really seem to have the class, sophistication and talent for a gig like that. I mean, look at that picture, LOOK AT IT. Nope, just can’t fathom the reasoning of that choice. Read the full story here on MSN. Bookmark to: More About: Bourne

2007-07-23 19:34:00 Tammy Faye Bakker, ex-wife of televangelist Jim Bakker, died Friday at the age of 65 from cancer. It really is a tragedy.

Britney Spears is a Free Spirit
2007-07-19 19:32:00 What I meant to say is that if you didn’t think she was crazy before with the shaving of the head and drugs and almost killing her own kids and dragging around animals by their necks, I’ve just received confirmation that Britney Spears is a total whack job. Yesterday Britney Spears was seen pulling over to the side of the road with her little dog and then she began to run around wildly yelling and taking off her dress. Don’t worry someone had grabbed the dog by then. She then proceeded to start going into the apparently very chilly ocean in her hot pink ill fitting bra and her unmatching cheek showing panties. Then she laughed hysterically as someone (a friend? a passerby?) came into the water after her in an actual bathing suit and escorted her out. So…yeah…I don’t really know what to think anymore. She may be insane in the membrane but at least she’s looking a tad better these days. I do pray for her children, and animals, nightly though... More About: Free , Spirit
Homicide by Alligator
2007-07-18 21:21:00 Harrel Franklin Braddy, an ex-con, was convicted yesterday for attempting to murder Shandelle Maycock and leaving her 5 year old baby girl Quatisha in the Everglades to get eaten alive by alligators in 1998. I know, you are horrified, in total shock aren’t you? I know I am. In November of 1998 Braddy went into the home of Maycock and when she asked him to leave he became totally enraged and began choking her until she was unconscious. The Associated Press reports, “He choked Maycock until she was unconscious and then forced her and Quatisha into his car, the woman testified. At one point, Maycock gained consciousness, grabbed the child and jumped out of the moving vehicle. Braddy stopped, choked the woman again and put her in the trunk, she testified. Maycock never saw her daughter again.” He took baby Quatisha into a place called “Alligator Alley” and dropped her in the water there. The ME reported that the girl was still alive when the alligators star... More About: Homicide , Gator , Cide , Gato
Jon Lovitz: My Personal Hero
2007-07-18 17:28:00 Jon Lovitz and Andy Dick have been feuding, unbeknownst to the general public I guess, for 10 years, ever since the murder of comedian Phil Hartman and last week it came to a head when Lovitz beat the crap out of Dick at The Laugh Factory. Apparently Hartman’s wife Brynn had been drug free for something like 10 years when Andy Dick gave her some cocaine and urged her to give it another whirl. After the alleged incident it’s been reported that she became a once again avid drug user. Only 5 months after this Brynn Hartman shot Phil ending his life and then committed suicide. It’s said that Lovitz has always placed some blame for what happened on Dick because it was his encouragement of drug use that might have lead to their friends death’s but that’s not even what started the fight. Last week at The Laugh Factory Lovitz asked Dick for an apology for something Dick said a year ago “I put the ‘Phil Hartman hex’ on you - you’re the ne...

10 Items or Less
2007-07-17 22:08:00 15 items or less. 20 items or less. This shopping register is dear to my heart. I usually shop in increments. When I shop I usually buy 15 items or less. This means I have the privilege of standing in the short lane at the store which allows either 20, 15 or 10 items or less. You know what really peeves me? When people go to that line knowing full well they have more items. Now, I’m a reasonable person. If I’m standing in a 15 or less line and someone comes in with 16 or even 20 items, hey, not a big deal. I won’t think less of you, I won’t get mad or irritated, heck you won’t even get a dirty look. Here’s the problem. You are in the 15 items or less line and someone with 30 items gets in front of you. Honestly, when that happens I just want to grab them by the collar and say “Don’t you know how to count! Go back to kindergarten!” Seriously, the other day I was at Target and I had 3, count them, 1, 2, 3 items. I was running late ... More About: Items
The Next Food Network Star
2007-07-16 17:42:00 I don’t know about you but I really like cooking, which means I really like watching The Food Network which means that in the slow summer months The Next Food Network Star becomes one of my regular shows. The Next Food Network Star is basically a culinary competition that starts with 11 culinary hopefuls and through lots of challenges each week 1 person gets eliminated by 3 Food Network judges. Last night we were down to 3 contestants. Rory, a down home Texas beauty, Amy, the Frenchy gourmet nextdoor, and JAG, the G.I. with Latino flare. When it came down to it though I guess for some reason they had to eliminate Amy, making Rory and JAG the 2 finalists that America gets to vote to be The Next Food Network Star. Right? WRONG. During the last 5 minutes of the show it comes out that bi-polar, tight lipped, “you never know which one of me your gonna get” JAG has lied about his past. *Gasp* JAG told us that during his military experience he got a chance to serve in Afg...
