Swing Out Sister: One of My Guilty Pleasures
2008-02-10 18:07:00 I often spend my Sunday mornings doing everything but getting ready for the next week of classes. However, one of the things that I did was indulge in one of my musical guilty pleasures: listening to the music of Swing Out Sister.For those who grew up in the 1980s, I can already see you asking yourself, "Whatever happened to them? I used to live that song....what was it called again?""Breakout". To answer your question.Yes, that was the group with the female lead singer, Corinne Drewery, who had the page boy haircut. And at that time, USA Today called the act "a female version of The Pet Shop Boys".My, how far off the mark they were.SOS came to American airwaves during the summer of 1987 with a song that was electro-pop with an edge of sophistication. Despite being only 14, the group automatically appealed to my ears with a combination of pop sensibility and elements of jazz. (Yes, while my best friend from college from was listening to rap and my best friend from law school was int...

Guilty pleasures (1)
2008-01-03 18:35:00 There are two things that I am not too ashamed to accept I enjoy and they are professional wrestling and reading gossip blogs. I know, they're completely unrelated; so I will just elaborate on the first one today... I love pro wrestling. Of course I know it's fake. Well, I shouldn't say that. It's not 'fake', it's scripted; this means, both performers (or more if it's a tag team match, for example) know who's going to win and who's going to lose. But the blows are pretty real. Many times, you will see them getting injured, and in some cases they're career-ending injuries, like what happened to Bret Hart. I've been a fan of pro wrestling since I was a kid and watched "Titanes en el Ring" on Argentine TV. (I will write about this show later on). But it's hard for me to call 'fake' something that requires lots of training, an excellent physical condition and the ability to perform breathtaking stunts (think Shawn Michaels or Jeff Hardy). In most cases, you also have...
Gratifying Little Guilty Pleasures
2007-12-19 02:12:00 One of my little guilty pleasures is watching DVD movies on my old SonyTV. I can virtually sit in my sofa and watch movies all day long. Yeah. Sometimes, it is one way of relieving my self from the angst and anxieties of life. It is also one of my coping mechanisms when depressed and very angry. Lately, it is more fun with my son on the side. Last Sunday, we almost viewed all the Pixar?s and DreamWorks movies until he dozed-off to sleep. You should see the delight in his eyes watching "Finding Nemo."This Christmas, other than buying myself a new laptop as a gift for my year?s labor, I could not help but day dream of owning a brand new 70-inch Sony Flat Panel. Huh. Forgive me. This is my way gratifying my cravings for high-def movies. Besides, my son will be more delighted. Look! Who wouldn?t drool over that tv? To date, the 70? KDL-70XBR3 Sony Flat Screen is the largest size in the BRAVIA? LCD line and pushes the limits of display technology with Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution ...

2007-08-29 03:14:00 It has been sometime since Motiveless Crime posted anything. Problems arose when a major storm struck my hometown area and left us without power for a period of time. After that personal issues took control. Right now the blog is in a transition period as we try to figure out how it fits in with the rest of my life and the time that can be applied daily. Without further ado, here is today's Guilty Pleasures.The major story of the week in Hollywood is, of course, Owen Wilson's attempt at suicide. Slightly after noon on Sunday an ambulance was called to Owen's home in Santa Monica. The log for the call has been passed and made public as an attempted suicide. Reports have it that his older brother, of similar fame, Luke found Owen with his wrist slashed after he took multiple pills. Wilson was transported to St. John's Hospital and was later moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Wilson released this statement from the hospital:"I respectfully ask that the media allow...

2007-08-23 03:41:00 Lindsay Lohan is working in a Utah supermarket. While this may shock some, those of us in the know realize that this is simply a part of her rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse. Lohan was spotted with family in tow wandering the isles of a local supermarket, supposedly not the one she is working at, looking for chocolate. Her mother, brother and little sister all came to see her yesterday and decided to head to a local grocery to get some kicks. While Lohan typically prefers Red Bull and Vodka shooters, she instead opted for some candy. Obviously the visit wasn't to show family support but rather to cause some press to show up. After all, why else would the red-headed stepchild wear all black, as if poking fun at the attempt at a disguise?Lohan has also made news recently when she signed off on an OK! magazine article that is supposed to reveal her time behind bars...I mean, trying to catch up to the wagon....Odd pictures related to the article have surfaced, showing Lohan (q...

2007-08-22 00:45:00 There for a while the celebrity gossip was devoid of Lohan goodness. Then she turned up in a small town in Utah, getting a tan and looking sober. Of course we all know why she is there. Ms. Lohan went on a bender, commandeered an SUV and proceeded to chase after another car and then being arrested and found to have cocaine in her pants. Typical Saturday. But since she reappeared and stepped into the fake sunshine, she has now been spotted all over the place in the Utah wilderness. Apparently Lindsay has reached a point in her rehab cycle where they will allow her to go outside and get some fresh air. She has been spotted biking, running with dogs and even rafting. Of course, during all of this, Lindsay managed to look good and show off the rack.Lindsay is rumored to be sending out word that she would like to get back in the studio for her third album. Obviously this would be the wise choice considering that Hollywood is more than just a little sick of her. Most major studios are pro...

Luckily the celebrities supplied enough for us to put forward a decent Guilty Pleasures today!You really can't escape Britney Spears and her craziness anymore. Britney is not only on the cover of Allure (photoshopped to the max) but also graces the cover of four celebrity tabloid magazines. Us Weekly, Star, Life & Style and OK!

Among the stories are accusations that Britney has a new female lover, that Britney demanded her nannies to sleep with her and children, Kfed wants more custody and its even been said that Britney told both children that they were mistakes.

2007-08-14 21:10:00 So it seems that Amy Winehouse has finally made a joke out of her hit song "Rehab". Initial reports earlier this week had it that Winehouse had overdosed, was taken to a hospital and then transferred to a rehab facility in London. These turned out to be untrue and it turned out that Amy was actually hanging out and lying low in a hotel. Both Winehouse and her husband are now said to be headed to rehab after witnessing a rather vicious fight between their fathers concerning their shared/mutual addictions. In an odd choice the two have decided to seek treatment in the United States...because that has proven so useful for celebrities.So we all love to hear about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. In fact some of us check the tabloids first thing in the morning in the hope that some new rumor will surface concerning a possible breakup or even sexual pleasures that one or both enjoy. But today's rumor wasn't as nice and comforting. In fact it appears that the two odd-birds are considering m...

She is not in a private room and instead has two roommates. When not sleeping or in meetings she can be found cleaning dishes, toilets and doing laundry. Word also has it that before Lindsay admitted herself to Cirque she underwent an intense medical detox program for eight days.

2007-08-10 20:33:00 After much speculation, David Beckham actually played a full game (ok, just 20 minutes) with the LA Galaxy team yesterday in Washington, D.C. The Galaxy lost the game 1-0 but won plenty of media attention because of Beckham's play and the fact that he did most of it shirtless. Over 47,000 soccer fans packed RFK stadium last night, causing the largest crowd in the arena since 2001. Fans, both male and female, went crazy the second Beckham began to remove his top. After the game Beckham had this to say:"The huge display of approval puts [into perspective] all the frustration I've had since I arrived at the Galaxy of not being able to train with the players, stepping out and seeing the reaction.""It's a big step forward for me tonight, getting 20 minutes. I was happy with that."This is rumor, first and foremost, so don't go blabbing it to all the idiots at the water cooler just yet. According to OK! Magazine, Lindsay Lohan may be pregnant.

First of all, Nicole can barely eat enough food to keep her skin hanging on her body, much less enough to feed the child inside of her. Also, look at the father, obviously she has no taste.

2007-08-06 21:04:00 Lindsay Lohan's apparent disappearance after her last DUI has had me concerned. I don't really care if she is getting help for her issues but I do miss knowing where she is 24/7. That may sound stalkerish, but I'm not the one following her. Rumors have finally begun to solidify concerning where she is now but I still wonder where she has been for the past week or so. Word initially had it that Lindsay had jetted off to Long Island to stay at her mother's house there. Of course this is probably the worst choice considering that Dina Lohan is obviously the X-factor for Lindsay's drug abuse. The rumor was started when a ton of Lohan's crap was delivered to the house after reports came in that Lindsay and her younger sister were rumored to be on a plane together. Yet somehow there are no pictures of the flight, no witnesses, nothing. And we all know that photogs love to hang out at LAX (the airport, not the club) waiting for any jet-setting celebs.

It seems that Posh calls ahead to warn the hotel that she will be arriving, with dozens of paparazzi on her heels:"She always lets the paparazzi know when she'll be arriving. The Chateau Marmont tries to give celebs their privacy, and they hate her there. They like David [Beckham, her husband], though."And last Tuesday another paparazzi fave arrived to find the restaurant packed and the only available seat was next to Posh. Guess who? Britney Spears.

Try to hold back the tears. It sounds like Paris is still set to inherit around $30 million. The Queen B (for bitch) still has something to envy. Bitch.Paris has also sold her Hollywood Hills home for a cool $4.25 million, an overly inflated price considering she bought it for a mere $2.9 million three years back.

2007-07-30 19:44:00 Paris Hilton is no longer an heir to the Hilton fortune. Jerry Oppenheimer, who wrote "House of Hilton" claims that Conrad Hilton, Paris' grandfather, has become so unhappy with Paris' rep that he cut her out of his will. Conrad doesn't appreciate how his granddaughter has dragged the Hilton name through the mud. Word has it that he has cut almost the entire family out of his will so that he can donate his billions to charity. How much did Paris lose out on when the old man croaks? $60 million. I'm somewhat excited by this news because it could signal the end of Paris Hilton's celebrity status. Wasn't the only reason she was famous because of her heir-apparent status? It isn't like she can act, sing or even model (not that she hasn't tried all three). I guess now we can stop acting interested and just ignore the talentless hack.Taye Diggs, one of the world's luckiest men, is stepping out on his wife, Idina Menzel.

2007-07-29 22:30:00 Celebrities need to stop taking time off for themselves on the weekends. Yesterday's gossip just didn't cut it so I scrapped the daily segment but luckily enough Guilty Pleasures has enough meat today.Miss Lindsay Lohan is having money issues. She recently contacted a tabloid (the same one that posted pictures of her passed out in a friend's car) and tried to sell pictures of herself for a hefty $30,000. Some are taking this as a sign that Lindsay has had her purse strings pulled in by someone. She tried to do the same thing last September. Of course paying $25,000 in bail for your second DUI in a year isn't cheap. Perhaps she should take up less expensive hobbies. Imagine how much she could save per month without doing an 8-ball per weekend, plus bail and legal expenses (not to mention lawsuits). I'm thinking she should take up knitting...or maybe whittling.Lindsay has reportedly told people that the cocaine found in her pocket after her arrest this past week was placed there ...

She was sentenced to serve four days in the City or County Jail (she gets to pick) as well as having to pay a $2,048 and has been sent back to school for 21 days in an alcohol education course. She is also on three years probation.

The weekend The Bourne Identity opened in 2001 I was doing a play in London's West End and I hadn't had a film offer in six months because I'd had a couple of movies tank.

Take anything related to these two with a pinch of salt, because neither has directly commented about the events following their respective breakdowns. This week's gossip, with its major A-list parties, breakdowns, DUI's, cocaine possession and theft really is very Glamorama.

Word has it from witnesses that there were other cars involved and that both Lindsay and the car she appeared to be chasing were being chased by one or more other cars, which fled the scene when the cops were called. No identification on the drivers or why they were chasing them. More importantly, there are no photographs of the incident. How is that possible?

I know, the first question is, what about that alcohol monitoring ankle thing? Apparently she had removed it before this series of events.

Just a few run-downs on each:Posh -- wore a black dress that didn't make her look like a space cadet, but somehow screwed it up by wearing ho-heelsDavid -- he looked good...but his suit was kind of stiff looking, just like him.Tom -- getting uglier by the day.Katie -- the first time I saw photos of her in that dress I thought that the contrast settings on my computer were messed up. what a bad color, not to mention her creepy Stepford Wife vibe.Jada -- wore a black dress that looked like it may have been an attempt at matching Posh, same thing with the hair.Will -- shiny silver suit and stupid media-whore grin, go away.Other A-listers showed up such as Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields, Adrian Grenier, Alyson Hannigan, Forest Whitaker, Stevie Wonder, Jim Carrey & Jenny McCarthy, Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher, Bruce Willis...

2007-07-22 23:23:00 David Beckham was reported to have been benched for yesterday's LA Galaxy soccer match but he somehow managed to get onto the field for a terse 13 minutes of play time. A red carpet was rolled out, literally, for the celebrity guests who came to see Beckham play. The A-listers included wife Posh, Katie Holmes and the newly wed Eva Longoria. Did they win? No.In case you didn't know, the Beckhams are boring (or so Posh says).Eva Longria is officially on my media whore list. Look at that. If you want privacy, then sit in the main dining room...not next to the railing out on the porch area. She obviously set this up. To top things, you can't find a single picture where she is eating. She obviously paid them to keep her looking proper and dignified. Bitch.Britney Spears called up the editor-in-chief of OK! magazine and offered an exclusive tell-all about how shitty her life really is. Of course they took her up on the offer and the issue should be on the stands next week. Poor Britney...

2007-07-22 02:00:00 David-the-Tool Beckham did not play for the LA Galaxy today. The soccer team's star player hurted his widdle ankle during practice earlier this week and was therefore benched. What did he do instead? Well he is probably preparing with his Posh wife to attend the major party being thrown in their honor by Stepford Wife and Mo-husband Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise (plus somehow Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are involved). The lavish reception is being thrown as a welcome to America festival. Invitations were sent out in red velvet with gold embossed print (gross) to pretty much anyone that might wet their pants to get to meet the two Brit stars. More details on the party, which is tomorrow, continue to be revealed:Two of Hollywood's biggest stars -- Tom Cruise and Will Smith -- are hosting a private, welcome-to-L.A. bash for the Beckhams at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Geffen Contemporary in downtown Los Angeles. The 600-person, invitation-only list includes Oprah Winfrey, Ge...

2007-07-20 20:10:00 Lindsay Lohan has been arrested, booked and released for her DUI in May. Lindsay walked into the Beverly Hills PD station and submitted herself for booking around 4 PM yesterday. Police sources told tabloid site TMZ that Tits and Bits was "very pleasant and cooperative." She spent approximately an hour in the pokey and is scheduled to be in court on August 24th.Tits and Bits (I'm trying out the nickname) also made news when her movie with Shirley MacLain had the plug pulled today. Initial tabloids were quick to report that it had nothing to do with Lohan's partying ways but that it was based on money issues. Other sites have started reporting that the movie did die because of Lohan by extension. Lindsay's recent foray to Las Vegas apparently made her too much of a liability and insurance company's refused to cover her on set. Once investors heard this, they started pulling out. Way to go Lindsay. But why the big fuss? She has been wearing that stupid ankle alcohol monitoring thi...

2007-07-19 21:18:00 David Beckham is a nice husband. Due to American tabloids and their obsession with pantiless crotch shots, Beckham held a helping hand to the front of his wife's dress in order to block any tasteless opportunities. Then again, she could have just worn some damn panties.As if Posh's reality show wasn't enough of a flop, it now appears that David will have his own 13-episode mini-series chronicling his start with the LA Galaxy soccer team. What is it with FOX and bad show ideas? Though I do love me some So You Think You Can Dance and Firefly (which they canceled, bastards).Tom Cruise is a nazi...in his latest movie. The plot has something to do with a Nazi soldier who plots to kill Hitler during WWII. I wouldn't even go if it were free.Nick, oh Nick. TMZ has obtained photos of Nick Nolte passed out in a Hawaiian airport. Mr. Nolte apparently stumbled into the terminal and laid down behind some chairs for a catnap, but not before uttering some unintelligible mutters. How pathetic.L...

2007-07-18 20:45:00 I woke up this early this morning and looked over the major headlines from Washington and New York and then did what any former and current Manhattanite does, I read Page Six from The New York Post. Normally I don't care about the socialites that are implied with certain key-words but today I realized that the subtle innuendo wasn't about some rich bitch...it was about Lindsay Lohan. I thought perhaps I had stumbled upon something and set it aside to comment on in today's Guilty Pleasures. By the time I began assimilating today's gossip I noticed I had been beaten to the punch on every major celebrity blog on the internet. Since when does everyone else in the world read Page Six? In case you missed it, this is what Richard Johnson had to imply:WHICH hard-partying starlet has figured out a way to get high while wearing an alcohol-monitoring anklet? She was asking where she could score some Ecstasy at a Vegas club the other night . . . WHICH too-good-to-be-real Hollywood leading m...

2007-07-17 21:10:00 Bitches and their dogs are everywhere today. Ever notice how people look like their dogs? I sympathize with that mutt. Paris spent yesterday binge shopping for crap that she will never use. She bought some boogie boards (in pink) then dropped a decent amount in a dog boutique (what is the world coming to?) for her menagerie. How many dogs does she have in that compound? And who cleans up all of the poop? I doubt it's the Queen B that does the poop scooping.I thought we had moved past Tara Reid. What is with those abs? And when did she get her tits done? They look hard as rocks. That poor bitch, and I don't mean the terrier.Speaking of crazy bitches, Britney Spears is EVERYWHERE today. If you've read the tabloids recently you know she bought yet another mini-dog. The American Humane Society is now pissed. Normally that would be the punchline but they really are. The Humane Society is angry that Britney bought her animal from a pet store because they stand against them due to puppy...

2007-07-16 21:24:00 Victoria Beckham is making me sick. Everywhere you go her ugly mug is either giving that giggly creepy smile or her standard sour puss is staring at a camera somewhere. This is due, of course, to the Beckham move to the US which began last week. The camera-whore family is more than happy to supple interviews and to be followed by masses of photogs and reporters at every turn. Not to mention the fact that the entire process is being filmed for their stupid reality show. Posh is already making enemies by attacking American casual clothing. This is what she had to say to the L.A. Times:"I don't want to change the way I dress. This is me, and if people like it - great. I get quite bored with the way people look the same all the time, with the same make-up and the same outfit, and the same kind of hair. I like to change things around quite a bit.""They dress down quite a lot here, don't they?. It seems to be in keeping to go to Starbucks in tracksuit bottoms and Ugg boots. I have one p...

2007-07-15 20:29:00 David-the-Tool Beckham was inducted into the LA Galaxy team earlier this week. The site was basically Presidential in nature; limos, photogs, banners and confetti. Plus the stupid wife in the pink space dress covering her mouth like a Mary Tyler Moore wannabe.David Beckham has launched his own blog in coordination with his family's move to the States.Correction: someone is writing a blog for/as David Beckham in coordination with his family's move to the States.Michelle Rodriguez has a girlfriend. Good for her. Still, I would be a little afraid of that bedroom scene.An investigation has begun into whether Paris Hilton received special treatment while incarcerated. Well, duh. Then again she did have that mental/medical problem that miraculously disappeared once she was released. Maybe they mean "special" in the short-bus sense (if you get my drift).Lindsay Lohan has reportedly started carrying around Machiavelli's The Prince. Great...that means she is learning how to become the rul...

2007-07-13 19:23:00 A couple of very odd couples are starting to pop up in the tabloids. I'm leading with the most confusing of them. It appears that, behind closed doors, Matthew Perry and Meg Ryan are "canoodling" (whatever the hell that means). Insiders are reporting that they have been seeing each other secretly for five months. WTF? I used to fantasize about Meg until she had her face replaced with hardcore plastic.Adam Levine and Hillary Clinton. Who would have thought there would ever be a connection between those two? Both Clinton and Levine were set to have call-in interviews in Las Vegas this past week. Clinton was of course promoting her Presidential candidacy and Levine was plugging the upcoming Maroon 5 tour (I'm scouting tickets already). When Clinton's schedule changed she had Levine's people called and they simply switched spots. To show her gratitude she has extended a dinner invitation to the Maroon 5 front-man. You know that theoretical game where you get to invite 5 people to di...

2007-07-11 19:39:00 Paris Hilton had a spa day yesterday and exited wearing an Andy Warhol inspired shirt. The disturbing part is that someone actually made an Andy Warhol shirt with her image...and she wore it. Andy Warhol would so not approve."They" are remaking Footloose. I died a little inside when I read this. Zac Efron, of Hairspray and High School Musical, will be playing the tractor dancing part that Kevin Bacon turned iconic. Zac Efron, despite being borderline ugly, has managed to keep himself in the tabloids on a continual basis and it has obviously paid off. Still...Reports are that Britney Spears is off the wagon and has started binge drinking and eating. Well, well, well. Here is what one "source" close to Brit had to say:On several occasions, I have seen her pouring alcohol into energy drink cans. Britney requests that her alcohol be served in carafes rather than in bottles. Once, a waitress made the mistake of bringing her a bottle. Brit grabbed her arm and told her she couldn't be se...

2007-07-10 20:11:00 Paris Hilton was at Teddy's the other night. She emerged from an SUV followed by a plume of pot smoke. Are we supposed to be shocked? Here is a witness' account from Page Six:...the newly spiritual heirhead emerged from an SUV in front of Hollywood club Teddy's the other night in what witnesses describe as a cloud of marijuana smoke. "She took a huge puff off of a joint, then opened the door and exhaled the pot smoke basically in my face," one clubgoer told us.So Paris Hilton is still a bitch. Good to know.Speaking of crazy bitches, reporters that were allowed backstage at Madonna's Live Earth concert were instructed to retain eye contact with Madge while asking her questions. They were not allowed to read their notes or questions and therefore had to have them memorized while looking the dragon in the eye. They were also instructed to leave out any reference to Guy Ritchie, her children or Kabbalah (is she still doing that?). So basically what Madge did was stare reporters down...

2007-07-09 20:34:00 Scarlett, oh my pretty pretty Scarlett. She is in Barcelona shooting her third movie, in as many years, with Woody Allen. The picture reminded me why I loved her to begin with. Thank God she isn't in mom shorts and wearing that horrid nose-thing like last week. Word has it that the film is trying to portray Allen's vision of Barcelona in the same way that he defined Manhattan in Manhattan. Good luck with that. All I want is me some Scarlett (sans bullring).Harry Potter doesn't mind fans riding his wand. Recently Daniel Radcliffe has made some comments that basically state he will sleep with chicks who only like him because he is Harry Potter (but not if they call him Harry while in the sack). Wait, he has other things to offer? Radcliffe has also told a tabloid that riding a broomstick isn't fun because of his manbits. Ok, first the whole 'I'm naked on stage stabbing horses in the eyes thing', then publicly outcrying that he is a man-whore and now talking about riding his bro...

2007-07-06 19:03:00 The Queen B (for bitch) left a private LA residence carrying "The Power of Acting"...am I the only one who just got the chills? I know Paris wants to change her image but I thought it was for the better. Paris used to be known as somewhat of a bully when it came to socialites. If she didn't like you, then anyone who wanted her to like them didn't like you. Well, all of that is over according to Hilton--she is planning to play nice with Lindsay Lohan. No word yet if Lindsay is withdrawing her claws too.PS I totally made up the "Queen B (for bitch)" which is being ripped off in the first link today. Don't think I didn't notice.Jessica Simpson may be dating Dane Cook again. While the man is funny, he certainly isn't a hot property. Jessica and Dane reportedly dated when they filmed that stupid comedy a year or so back. Now they've been seen partying together at some club. Who cares?Eva Longoria is now a married woman. She tied the knot in Paris' City Hall today in typical Chanel...
