So..........What's Been Going On?

Let's see....

An earthquake in the DC area. I keep waiting for the Bachmann-Perry's to come out and say it had something to do with Obama.

A hurricane up the East Coast. And idiot weatherpeople told of big winds and rains in the Carolinas, making Carlos and I think we should cut our trip short, until we talked to our petsitter, and the Round-The-Way Gays, David and Neal, who told us it hadn't even rained in our little corner.

Rick Perry has seemingly taken over Michelle Bachmann's place in the Loony Pool. I wonder who will take his spot as more and more folks realize he's effin' nuts?

Well, at least not the people of South Carolina, who are rabidly behind Perry. Welcome home, Bob!!

Kim Kardsashian got married and sold the rights to anyone with a checkbook. How much time is left on her fifteen minutes?

Mitt Romny thinks corporations are people, too, except they don't pay no stinking taxes. And then Mitt, who likes to paint himself as aware of how hard life is these days for the American people, buys a $10 million house so he can tear it down and build a bigger house. Out of touch much? Now, to be fair, it's his money, and he has a lot of it, and if he wants to buy a perfectly good home and raze it, that's his prerogative. But don't tell me you feel my pain....because you don't.

Lady Gaga dressed as a man last night on TV. I'm waiting for the day when  she comes out in regular clothes and just sings. That would be shocking.

Michelle Bachmann says God sent the hurricane to get the attention of politicians. oh, not her, mind you, because God wants her in the White House. or the Nut House. Some kinda house.

Dick Cheney says "heads will explode" when his book comes out. Seems to me, Cheney has made quite a lot of money off exploding people's heads....figuratively and literally.

Nice to know that not much has changed.
Sigh.

I Ain't One To Gossip, But....

Lady Gaga gets accused of a lot of things. She been accused to using the LGBT community, and our struggles, to sell records. She's been accused of being too controversial to sell records. She's been accused of stealing Madonna's career, as well as some of Madonna's music.
Now, she's got The Divine Miss M, Bette Midler, on her tail. Her fish tail, that is.
Apparently, on the Sydney leg of her Australian tour, Gaga caused more controversy by rolling onto the stage in a wheelchair, dressed as a mermaid.
Naturally, differently-abled activists were upset by Gaga's antics, and demanded an apology; and they are ALLEGEDLY behind the egg-throwing attack on Gaga as she left a gay bar over the weekend.
But Bette Midler has a different fish bone to pick. She took to Twitter to remind Lady Gaga that she, yes, Bette Midler, originated the Mermaid wheelchair bit over three decades ago: "I’m not sure @ladygaga knows that I’ve performed my mermaid in a wheelchair for millions of people--and many of them are still alive...."Dear @ladygaga if you think a mermaid in a wheelchair seems familiar--it's because it is! You can see it on youtube 24/7-with ME performing it"

She also remarked, "I've been doing singing mermaid in a wheelchair since 1980-You can keep the meat dress and the firecracker tits - mermaid's mine."
Don't piss off a diva, Gaga. Bette Midler created the character of Dolores del Lago, a wheelchair-bound mermaid, years ago.
Years.Ago.
Gaga, who was born in 1986, claims she had no idea: "I had no idea she did that and I'm a huge Bette Midler fan. Maybe we're just cut from the same cloth. I couldn't hop around in that tail so I just stuck myself in a wheelchair."
Oh, Gaga, how, HOW, can you claim to be a huge Midler fan and not know about Dolores del Lago?
Something smells fishy......and I think it's Gaga,


When Lindsay Lohan isn't in court, she's doing a photoshoot. And when she sin't doing a photshoot, she's doing interviews, talking about her desire to get her career back. or making up cray-zay stories.
Because her film career, such as it was, is not exactly laser hot these days.

Lohan ALLEGEDLY feels that she deserved to portray a deranged ballerina in "Black Swan," the dark Darren Aronofsky drama for which Natalie Portman won her first Oscar. 
We all know that all Lohan wants out of life is an Oscar...and by Oscar, i don't mean the guy on La Cienega who deals in illegal prescription meds.
Lohan ALLEGEDLY angered Plum Miami writer, Jacquelynn Powers, who says Lohan tells anyone and everyone that she "took ballet until she was 19 and was indignant that she was not considered for the movie 'Black Swan.'"
Of course, Powers also writes that Lohan is addicted to other things besides prescription meds and alcohol; namely drama. Powers says Lohan was "constantly looking for drama, whether it was picking a fight with her younger sister ... or freaking out over a lost pair of Zanotti heels."
Why is Powers pissy about Lohan? 
Well, Linsanity was being photographed for some cheeseball magazine, I mean, Plum Miami, and promised an interview with Powers, but then she flaked. Apparently, she was asked to get back in front of the camera, a movie camera, and scurried off as fast as her little rat legs could carry her.
Of course, it's not a feature film, or a direct-to-video release, or even a Lifetime movie. No, Lindsay's return to the screen will be in a music video playing herself, for the Florida based band, The Miggs. 
Her "people"--and by people, I mean her fame-addicted stage monster, Dina, are saying Lindsay took the part in the video because she wants to ease back into making films.
Which is Dina-speak for "No one wants to hire my mentally ill, alcohol addicted, drug taking jewel thief of a daughter and put her in a multi-million dollar movie and watch her walk off, er, drunkenly stumble off, with the wardrobe in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other.
Still, Lindsay Lohan in the Black Swan.
It's funny, cuz it's insane.


Poor Chris Brown.
He beats women. He gets mad when asked about beating women and he throws furniture.
He ALLEGEDLY tosses about homophobic slurs on the basketball court.

Now, he is ALLEGEDLY at war with his fellow West Hollywood condo owners, who claim the singer is the "neighbor from hell." they say he parks in the in handicapped spaces, he blasts his music, his music, at all hours, and races his dogs in the hallways.
In fact, pictures of Chris Brown's cars, clearly parked illegally have surfaced, and even the building manager is speaking up about the Bad Little Girlfriend Beater's antics.
Of course, Chris' lawyer, media shark Mark Geragos, says Chris is the one getting screwed, as the deed clearly shows the two spaces belong to Chris. And he says the developer never disclosed that they were handicapped spots.
Um, Chris, you dickhead? That little sign, above the spaces, and probably pained ON the spaces, of the wheelchair, means they are handicapped spaces. I think even a dickhead like you can understand that, once you pull your giant head out of your ass.
Chris has only lived in the building a few months and already everyone feels lie Rihanna.


Hmmm, why oh why did they split? Those two cray-zay kids seemed to have it all.

But, as soon as Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony announced they were separating, came rumors that she was having an affair with hot Latino hunk, William Levy, who starred as JLo's lover in her video for “I’m Into You”.
Levy conveniently divorced his wife right after the shoot, but is denying any affair with Lopez. Which may be true, as Levy has other things on his plate: namely charges that he raped a young girl and gave her a venereal disease.
He is being sued for that, and court documents state that on July 19, 2010: “Through deception and trickery Levy, with the aid of several members of his entourage, lured Plaintiff back to the Hilton Hotel in Glendale. Plaintiff, who was infatuated with Levy--a rising star of international renown for his work on Spanish language telenovelas--wanted his autograph. During the course of their conversation at a Hilton restaurant, Levy invited Plaintiff to a private room for discussion. Defendant then maneuvered himself so that Plaintiff could not walk in any direction without passing Defendant.”
The complaint goes on to state that Levy “forced Plaintiff to perform [sex act] on him, strangling her in the process. He ejaculated in her mouth, on her person, through which he transmitted a sexual disease to plaintiff. Plaintiff was subsequently taken to urgent care at Concentra Medical Center by a friend.”
Wow......wow.
Um, I hate to think that this is true, I mean, the JLo part of it is all rumor. And the last thing she needs is a venereal disease. Again.
ALLEGEDLY.

I'm Baaaack And........I Didn't Say it.....

Ben Cohen, rugby player and straight LGBTQ ally, on New York's gay marriage law:

"It’s nice to be in love with someone, and of course you want to have that extra bond of being married and not perceived to be different. [The idea that] because you’re gay you can’t experience being married is wrong."

It's nice when someone associated with such a masculine sport as rugby, where one might think homophobia rampant, can stand up, and speak up, for the rights of the LGBT community.
And he was doing so long before it became the cool thing to do.
Hot. Smart. Athletic. Compassionate.
What's not to love?

Presidential candidate Fred Karger, on President Obama's marriage stance:

"I am puzzled that a man who is the product of a biracial marriage, whose own parents could not have married in 16 states before 1967, seems unable to understand the extreme pain that bigotry causes... I have never heard of anyone switching sides from pro-gay marriage, as the president used to be, to anti-gay marriage."

Seriously.
While I don't agree with Karger on everything, he is right that Obama used to be for equality, and now he's a little, well, ambiguous.
Evolve already. Fierce advocate.

Cory Monteith, of Glee, has joined the 'Straight But Not Narrow' campaign, an effort to encourage young heterosexual men to show support for their gay peers:

"So, maybe you like to play football, maybe you like to sing and dance, maybe you like both. Maybe you don't like either. Doesn't matter. Just be yourself. Just be you, because that's good enough for me. We're guys talking to guys about guys who like guys."

While the fight for equality is intrinsically a gay fight, it can't ever be won without the support of the heterosexual community, and I love the idea of people like Ben Cohen and Cory Monteith standing up, and speaking up, for gay men and women. and tolerance and understanding and equality.

Linda Harvey, fucktard head of the SPLC-certified hate group Mission America, on Obama and the "homosexual agenda":

"Our President has launched a broad scale attack on traditional values. If homosexuals and transgenders are allowed to live and love as they see fit, we would have a whole societal mess on our hands, which is already starting to happen in some areas. We’re already seeing the denial of liberty, intimidation tactics, and flat out dirty tricks in the effort to silence concerned citizens, especially Christians. And I’m sure many of you are as dismayed as I am over our hyper-sexualized culture, well homosexual activism only puts that trend on steroids. It’s not a rights issue, its cultural revolution, where homosexuality is declared acceptable, the harm and detriments disguised, and no other views are allowed. And that’s not human rights, friends, it’s anti-family tyranny. We need someone else as President, don’t you think? Someone who loves and honors God, His design, and truth itself."

Linda? You're an ass.
No one, no one, saying Christians can't all gather and preach their love of God and their hate of Gays. You can do that. it's called Freedom Of Speech, bitch. Like, I have the right to call you a bitch.
What you cannot do, you twisted mind-fucking dimwit, is use your religion to set the laws for everyone in this country.
All men, and women, are created equal, and I would like to see them treated that way.
Asshat.

Bishop Thomas Tobin, of the Providence Catholic Diocese, on the notion of Civil Unions becoming legal in Rhode Island--and they have:

"I am deeply disappointed that Rhode Island will establish civil unions in our state. The concept of civil unions is a social experiment that promotes an immoral lifestyle, is a mockery of the institution of marriage as designed by God, undermines the well-being of our families, and poses a threat to religious liberty. Can there be any doubt that Almighty God will, in His own time and way, pass judgment upon our state, its leaders and citizens, for abandoning His commands and embracing public immorality? I encourage Catholics to pray for God’s patience, mercy and forgiveness in these distressing times."

Um, Bishop? Honey?
When you want to talk about an immoral lifestyle--and rational people know that being gay is not a lifestyle, but a life--shouldn't you look around your church, first, and work hard, real hard, on casting out all those child-raping priests in your midst?
If you wanna talk immorality, and illegality, let's look at you and yours, aiding and abetting child molesters.
So, pray all you want, I think God is praying you'll do the right thing and actually start protecting children.

Marcus Bachmann, husband wacknut Teabaggin' presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann, and an "ex-gay' therapist and ALLEGED homosexual, on The Gays:

"We have to understand: barbarians [gays] need to be educated. They need to be disciplined. Just because someone feels it or thinks it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents and as authority figures not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps. And let’s face it: what is our culture, what is our public education system doing today? They are giving full, wide-open doors to children, not only giving encouragement to think it but to encourage action steps. That’s why when we understand what truly is the percentage of homosexuals in this country, it is small. But by these open doors, I can see and we are experiencing, that it is starting to increase."

He's as stupid as his wife, and just as dangerous.
Spreading fear as gospel.
Demeaning gay people by calling them barbarians and suggesting wee need 'discipline.'
What we need, you self-loathing, closeted, mother-effin' moron, is be treated equally, and with dignity, and for people like you and your numbskull of a wife, to stop spreading lies and fear and intimidation.
Which, of course, you do because it's the only way people will listen to you.

Brad Pitt, on New York's recently passed gay marriage law:

"It is encouraging that New York has joined the movement to grant equal marriage rights to its citizens. But it is each American's Constitutional right to marry the person they love, no matter what state they inhabit. No state should decide who can marry and who cannot. Thanks to the tireless work of so many, someday soon this discrimination will end and every American will be able to enjoy their equal right to marriage."

Hot, sexy, smart, compassionate.
And with a wife who is hot, sexy, smart and compassionate.
What's not to love?
And, Pitt puts his money where his mouth is. he donated $100,000 of his own money to fight California's anti-gay Proposition 8.

Lady Gaga, on the accusation that she uses LGBT politics to sell records:

“To say that I would use the gay community to sell records is probably one of the most ridiculous statements anyone can make about me as a person... I would say the top thing I think about every single day of my life, other than my fans, loving the music, and my family being healthy, is social justice and equality.”

I would hope that she isn't using us, but when she does things like write "The Next Big Gay Anthem" in ten minutes, I wonder.
But then she did motivate many people in New York to call and write their senators about marriage equality.......

And my favorite quote of all:
Ny Senator Roy McDonald, a Republican who voted for equality, to reporters:

“You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn't black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing. You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don't care what you think. I'm trying to do the right thing. I'm tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I'm trying to do the right thing, and that's where I'm going with this.”

I Ain't One To Gossip, But.....

Uh oh.
Even I know there are certain things you can't get away with, like calling Anna Wintour a bitch, but someone needs to give Lady Gaga that tidbit of info.

Gaga was recently honored at the CFDA Fashion Awards with the coveted...really?... Fashion Icon Award, and told an amusing 'story' of how she received the news.
“When I was told I won this award, [Vogue editor] Anna Wintour sent me a text message. She text messages,” Gaga said during her speech. “So she sent me a text message, and it said, ‘We’re so excited to tell you you won the CFDA Fashion Icon Award. And I actually thought it was Anna Treblin, who was one of my very close friends and [my stylist] Nicola’s assistant.”
Okay, you thought your 'friend' Anna would say something like 'we're so excited to tell you'? Keep going.
“So I have a couple Annas in my phone, so my reply was, ‘Yes, bitch, we did it.’ So quite quickly I got a reply that said, ‘How lovely, and we will all be waiting to see what you will wear.’ And then I thought, ‘Well won’t you be helping me choose what I will wear?’ And then I said, ‘Oh! It’s Anna Wintour,’” she added.
She.Called.Anna.Wintour.A.Bitch.
And lived to tell the tale.


Poor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I know, I said poor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. I should have said stupid, because, well, what did she expect from the MGB­? Y'all remember when MGB® was runnin' fer vice president and Hasselbeck flew all over the country to kiss her ass, er, introduce at rallies? Hasselbeck was on Team MGB®.

Now, though, not so much. Now it seems that the former BFF's haven't spoken in months and all because of something Lizzie said on 'The View'.
A friend--and by friend I mean Sherri Shepard, who doesn't know when to close her yap--says, "I think Elisabeth is a good friend. She remembers birthdays and even with a busy schedule always takes time to stay in touch with her girlfriends. But S____ has let her down. Elisabeth has reached out to her several times but she never responds."
So why has the MGB® gone all silent treatment on Hasselbeck?
Well, Lizzie recently accused Sarah of "manipulating" the media to draw attention away from the more-serious Mitt Romney, and Hasselbeck actually mocked MGB®'s bus tour as yet another attempt to dominate the headlines, like when MGB® rolled through New Hampshire on the day Mitt announced his run for the White House.
Lizzie ranted, on 'The View,' "If I had termites [her metaphor for the economy] in my house, I'd get someone in there who could deal with it. Mitt Romney, right now, his specialty is the economy. I'd have him in there. Here's why we're not hearing it: because S____ P____'s on a bus, and right now she's manipulating, in terms of media attention."
Lizzie also condemned MGB®'s "crosshairs" imagery on a fundraising website, calling them "despicable" after Gabrielle Giffords, one of her 'targets' in the 2010 campaign, was shot during a voter meet-and-greet.
That insider--Hi Sherri!--says, "Elisabeth feels used by S____. When she needed her, she was all over Elisabeth and now she treats her like a stranger. It's sad."
So, MGB® is a manipulator and a user. We knew that, and now it just proves how stupid Hasslebeck is because she never got it.


Just a couple of weeks back, I talked about Zach Galifianakis going off on 'MadMen' star January Jones when she dissed him at an awards dinner.
I didn't know much about him, but I liked his style.

Now, Zach Galifianakis has words for a few other celebrities.
First off, in a Rolling Stone interview, he gives us his spin on self-proclaimed trashy pop star, Ke$ha: "I saw that Ke$ha woman the other day. She was sitting by herself, and I walked up to her and said, 'Listen, I got your e-mail. Your music is really bad! I don't know who listens to it, but I imagine it's, like, six-year-olds -- and it's a bad message.'"
And then he has a message for the little kids who stop him on the street and say they loved him in 'The Hangover'. He tells them they have awful parents, and "I mean it," he adds.
And he has a Sean Penn story. It seems that when Penn offered Galifianakis a role in 'Into the Wild,' Zach, ever the professional actor, said he couldn't talk because he had an appointment at Arby's and to "send my Jews the script."
So, either he's opinionated, and rather inclined to share his opinions about everyone with everyone, or he's being funny. Either way, he's always interesting.


Divas don't come tinier or more demanding than Prince.

In fact, the artist still known as Prince, does not want his picture taken. By anyone. Y'hear me, David Arquette?

Prince, a notorious control freak when it comes to his image, instructs his team of ushers on his concert tour to vigilantly enforce the no-photo rule, even if people try to snap them on their cell phones. And yet, the Little Diva actually encourages fans at his shows to take out their cell phones and wave them in the air like we did in the olden days, with lighters and such. And then he lets people snap a picture or two.

Crazy say what?
See, at one recent show, Mister Courtney Cox, AKA David Arquette, used his cell phone to take a picture of the wee one, and guards instantly descended on him. Arquette tried to talk his way out of it, and pointed out that other fans were using their cell phones to take pictures, too, because Prince had decreed that it was acceptable.
Prince's Flying Monkeys, er, guards, weren't buting it.
Arquette was given the boot. The size four sequined boot.


New Yorkers aren't easily pissed off. It usually takes a lot to rile 'em up.

But the Black Eyed Peas did it, and did it good.
At a concert in Central Park, the Peons, er, Peas, kept thousands of former fans waiting in the heat for six hours, and then made them wait two extra hours in the rain, and then said they weren't gonna perform and get all wet and stuff.
Brian Moriarty, of Queens, asked: "What, Will.I.Am can't play in the rain? Is Fergie's hair gonna get wet?" 
Yes, and yes, Brian.
The pre-show festivities, featuring Taylor Swift, Carole King and Tony Bennett were set to begin at 5 but were delayed due to bad weather, leaving folks like Moriarty stranded in the sopping wet heat waiting for the gates to open. And open, the gates did, at 7:45, but just as fans found their space on the lawn, the police department announced they were shutting everything down due to lightning.
And the crowd goes wild!
"We won't go," chanted the crowd of some 20,000. And they meant it; police had to close in on the groups who believed that by squatting in the meadow they would be treated to the Peas' musical stylings.
Now, of course, the weather is certainly beyond the control of the Peas, but they've yet to apologize or reschedule the concert. Fergie ALLEGEDLY said she was 'bummed' about the cancellation, but I don't think she was as bummed as 20,000 people leaving the park in the rain, in search of a cab.
Note to the Peas; a little archival search on Diana Ross, performing in the park, in the wind and rain and lightning, back in 1983.
Suh-nap. They don't call her Miss Ross for nuthin'.

I Didn't Say It........

Christina Aguilera, on her Superbowl/National Anthem flub:

"I took in the moment a little bit too much. Shoot me for appreciating the moment but here I am at the Super Bowl...singing for a team and in front of the world. And remembering what it was like to be that young and look where I made it now. {but] that night I knew, I just made myself a Trivial Pursuit question...In 2011 what female singer, ya know, flubbed the lyrics. It's just insane. But I have a really good laugh about it and you get over things. You get back up again and you just prove to yourself and to everyone you're that much stronger."

This makes me wonder if she's talking about the 'flub,' or her ALLEGED new fondness for the drink. I mean, I loves me some Christina, but she's looking a little vodka-bloated lately.

Kara DioGuardi, on quitting, or being fired from, 'American Idol':

"I called them after I saw reports about the show and they said now that Ellen is leaving it's put everything up in the air because now we need to replace two people so we don't know what's going on. So I asked if I was fired and they said "no," so I said well last week we were talking about auditions, am I definitely doing the show? And they said, "We can't say that for sure but you're definitely not fired." I thought I'm not going to hang around and wait to see what happens, so I sent them a letter asking them to release me from their contract which they would not do until they sorted it all out. I think the reality is that the panel was not set up until the very end."

Um, Kara, when you ask someone if you are working, and they respond with a "We can't say that for sure...." Honey, you're fired. M'kay?

Rachel Maddow, on coming out, especially for people in the news business:

"I'm sure other people in the business have considered reasons why they're doing what they're doing, but I do think that if you're gay you have a responsibility to come out."

I agree completely.
Staying closeted, for whatever reason, whether you want to protect your privacy, or keep your private life private, or however you phrase it, still smacks of a little self-loathing and shame to me.
Plus, the more people that come out, the more people will come to realize that being gay isn't so different from being straight.
Except for that whole fabulousness part. 


Larry Kramer, on his 'problem' with the younger generation of gay men:

"I don't know why so many gay men don't want to know their history. I don't know why they turned their back on the older generation as if they don't want to have anything to do with them. I would like us to get beyond that....Sometimes when I go to schools, kids say that they're taught to be non-confrontational or non-participatory now, almost like it's not cool to have opinions and express them, which is sad. I hope we're coming out of all that." 

You can't ever know where you're going, if you don't know where you've been, and who fought for you to be right where you are.
We learn about the history of the world, the history of America, we need to know the history of gay people, and how they struggled and fought and lived and died so we could be here today. 


Kelly McGillis, on her public coming out:

"Fundamentally, I was just tired of lying about who I am. I've reached a point where my kids are grown, they're out of the house, they no longer have to be concerned that their friends, their friends’ families, will put them in compromising emotional situations because of my sexual preference. That was a big concern of mine because, unfortunately, a lot of people are not very tolerant. I got to a certain age and I didn’t give a s— anymore." 

This is the shame I was talking about. By staying closeted "for her kids" Kelly McGillis fed into that mythology that being gay is something scary or bad or different.
And do not get me started on her calling being gay her 'preference'.
Just proves that even gay people can say idiotic things.
Which proves we are more like straight people that many straight people think.
Except, again, for that whole fabulousness part. 


Rick Santorum, on denying gay rights, er, privileges:

"They have the right to be able to -- employment. I don't know what you mean by rights. What I'm talking about are privileges. Privileges of marriage, privileges of government benefits is a different thing than basic rights to live their lives as they well should and can as free Americans." 

So, Mister Frothy Mix, things we should be happy with less-than.
See, people like Santorum think of the LGBT community as a 'they,' and he believes that that 'they' shouldn't be treated like the rest of  'us'.
Think again you sanctimonious prig. 


Mel Gibson, on his bad image as a homophobe, anti-Semite, misogynist:

"I’ve never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality -- period. I don’t blame some people for thinking that though, from the garbage they heard on those leaked tapes, which have been edited. You have to put it all in the proper context of being in an irrationally, heated discussion at the height of a breakdown, trying to get out of a really unhealthy relationship. It’s one terribly, awful moment in time, said to one person, in the span of one day and doesn’t represent what I truly believe or how I’ve treated people my entire life." 

Yeah, I know he's talking about his taped telephone rants, but, um, Melvin? You delusional fuck?
Do you not remember your anti-Semitic rant when you were arrested for being a boozehound?
Do you not remember calling a female office 'sugar tits'?
You can't rewrite history, jackass.
You're an anti-Semitic, misogynistic, homophobe.
Deal with it. 


GaGa, on calling herself a loser in her new HBO special:

"Well, in that moment I was very excited and nervous. That is a huge benchmark moment in my life. I'm 25 years old. I was asked to play Madison Square Garden. Sold out 5 nights and quite frankly it's very overwhelming. Do I feel like a loser sometimes? Yes, of course I do. We all feel like losers sometimes." 

Oh, yes, I'm sure when you have teams of minions carrying you around in an egg, or ask Cher to hold your meat purse, you feel like a loser.
And I'm sure when millions line up to see you in concert you feel like a dork.
Pity? Party of one. 


Tracy Morgan, on Charlie Sheen:

"Charlie Sheen ain't funny to me. I think that's a train wreck and I feel bad for his two little kids because they're the bodies being pulled out of the train wreck. What's going to happen to them? But everybody thinks it's a joke….While this a–hole is going on stage making a fool of himself his kids are going to suffer and don't even know it because this is a cycle of abuse." 

Tracy Morgan is kind of a nut-job, too.
So, when a nut-job calls you out for being crazy, maybe you ought to step away from the crack pipe, and the whores, and listen. 


Oklahoma's gun-totin', wingnut, homophobe, racist, Sally Kern, on banning affirmative action:

"We have a high percentage of blacks in prison and that’s tragic, but are they in prison just because they are black or because they don’t want to study as hard in school? I’ve taught school, and I saw a lot of people of color who didn’t study hard because they said the government would take care of them."

Wow.
She doesn't even try to hide the fact that she's a racist bitch.
Um, Sally, i know a lot of white folks who didn't study in school either, and I'm thinking you're probably one of them. 


Lawrence O'Donnell, on why he invited looney-tunes Birther, Orly Taitz, on his show, right before he kicked her off:

"She's crazy. I invited a crazy person on the show to see if a crazy person faced with the thing that the crazy person was trying to get for the two and a half years could say something responsive, something human to the document that was released today." 

Now, this falls under the category of "Told You So."
I like O'Donnell, but did he really think a wingnut lunatic like Taitz would ever cop to being wrong?
It's the new GOP model, You lie and when you get called out on your lie you just keep talking.
Palin, Gingrich, Bachmann, and Trump are all doing it.

I Ain't One To Gossip, But........

Charlie Sheen unlocked the door to his subbasement of crazy this week.
It seems that right after Charlie went nuts the last time, and then took his crazy to the airwaves and got fired from his job, he was fond of calling ex-wife, and mother to two of his children, Denise Richards, "fabulous" and "smoking hot."

He also said that he loves her "to death."
Now he's changed that statement, saying he'd love her to die.
His mood went from love to hate because of the unconscionable thing Denise Richards did: she rebuffed his request to allow their daughters, Sam and Lola, to be a part of that drugged-out, manic, crazy-fueled Dateline special.
Now, Charlie has taken to his Twitter feed--shouldn't his be called Nit-witter? Think about it--to call the once-'fabulous' Denise a "traitor and loser whore" and "dog thief."
Dog thief? How dare he!
A source--and by source I mean the porn star who holds the crack pipe for Charlie when he's too high to do it himself--says, "Denise didn't steal the dogs, he gave them back to her...[and they]...were in horrendous shape. He doesn't want the dogs, he wants to fight!"
And he did fight, Twatting: "We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH-neese POOR-ards. a vile kidnapper and now dog thief. hate."
What's odd, and really, what isn't odd about Charlie Sheen these days, is that the dogs were actually Denise's dogs, but after she and Sheen divorced she let him keep them at his house so that when their daughters came to visit, "they would feel more at home." She only took them back after his NYC-Hooker-In-A-Cupboard escapade, and one of the dogs has since died.
One of these people is a parent, the other is a crazed, drug-addicted menace. 

Hey, why shouldn't she?
Diddy did it. So did Madonna and Prince. Cher was probably the first--unless you count Jesus. But Liza's done it, and GaGa will no doubt soon be doing it, too.

So why shouldn't Lindsay Lohan?
It seems that La Lohan is sick of having a tie to her wack-nut father, and now wants to surgically remove the Lohan from her name, and forever be known as Lindsay.
A source--and by source, I mean Dina Lohan,Lindsay's enabler, and the spender of all the Lindsay money that still comes in from ventures like the Lohan Leggings and such--says, "Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay. Plus, me and [younger daughter] Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan."
Oh, Dina, you self-obsessed hack; you'll never change your name back to Sullivan. You'll keep the Lohan, because how else will anyone know who you are?
Well, you could change your name to Dina Famewhore.
Dina Spongingoffherdrugaddictkids.
Dina Doesn'twork.
Dina Moron.
Moron works because it sounds like Lohan.
Meanwhile, Back at Lindsay Lohan.
A family friend--and by friend, I mean the guy that distracts the jewelry store clerk while Lindsay fills her bag with necklaces--says, "So many of the greatest [sidenote: sorry to interrupt, but is he calling Lindsay one of the greatest? Tee hee] people in showbiz are known by just their first name. Look at Oprah and Beyonce. Now you can add Lindsay to that list. And it's a way for them all to start over. No one in the family want anything to do with Lindsay's father [Michael Lohan] anymore and that includes sharing a last name."
After all is said and done, I think we will be calling Lindsay Lohan by a single name:
Prisoner.

Don't you hate it when you get engaged and plan a fabulous wedding and buy a beautiful white dress and get your hurr did and nails done and fresh makeup troweled on and someone comes to your nuptials and steals the show?
Then you must know how Reese Witherspoon feels.

It seems that this past weekend Reese tied the knot with Jim Toth. And she wanted her friends, and, of course, the Hollywood A-listers, to share in her joy. But dammit it all to hell, Reese was upstaged at her own wedding by the arrival of new supercouple, Scarlett Johansson and Sean Penn.
A source--and by source, I mean the bridesmaid who broke the news to Reese--says, "Scarlett is Jim's client, but no one, including the bride, knew she would have turned up with Sean Penn. Turning up at a wedding with your boyfriend is definitely a huge statement, especially that wedding. What it's doing is announcing to the whole of Hollywood that they are serious."
Now, rather than everyone talking about the blushing bride and her new second husband, all mouths are agape about Scarlett and Sean.
Always a bride, never the center of attention, eh Reese?

Table-flipping,face-punching, foul-mouthed, bankruptcy-filing, one-head--look at her, that's no forehead, it's a one-head--'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Teresa Giudice is dealing with yet another headache involving her husband.

It seems Joe Giudice, Teresa's numbskulled, thicknecked husband, was arrested at the family's New Jersey--soon to be auctioned off to pay bills--home last week, and charged with fraudulently obtaining a state driver's license.
Joe could face more than ten years behind bars.
That sound you hear is Teresa flipping a table.
It seems that last year, thug-lite Joe ALLEGEDLY went to the motor vehicles department, presented his brother's identification materials--ALLEGEDLY his own brother's marriage license and birth certificate--and got a driver's license for his own use.
Now, why would serial loser Joe need to do that, eh?
His own license had been suspended. And , the wonder daddy of four served eight days of a ten-day sentence last fall for driving with a suspended license. The license was first suspended in January 2010, when Joe crashed his car in the wee hours of the morning.
What a lovely man. Drunkard. DUI'er. Impersonator of his own brother.
And what about that lovely wife if his. Where was Teresa when Joe was arrested? Well, she had a scheduled appearance at a casino in the Pocono's--I believe it was in one of those 'Poke A Fame Obsessed Reality Star booths--so she had her family post bail for her husband.
In fact, on Twitter, or, like Charlie Sheen when it's Teresa Giudice, it should be Nit-witter, she didn't even acknowledge her husband's arrest: "Hanging out with my honey at Mt Airy Casino. Just finished dinner now we are going to check out the scene."
And see about getting a fake ID, eh Joe?

Nearly two years after he shoved his face into a piece of scenery during the Tony Awards, Bret Michaels has decided to sue the program.

In a lawsuit targeted at Tony Awards Productions, CBS and a boat load of others, for unspecified [i.e. scads] damages and costs. Michaels says he “suffered a near fatal subarachnoid hemorrhage."
Odd, because at the time he said he just had to get stitches for a cut lip.
His lawsuit goes on to say that "[t]hrough his sheer will to live, see his children grow up, Michaels was able to survive this trauma. Although he put a brave face on for the public, the fact is that the injury left Michaels clinging for his life and in excruciating agony. It was only through months of hard work and dedication – that continue to this day – that Michaels has been able to resume some semblance of his life and career.”
Hmmm, after that horrendous smack in the face by a screen, didn't he appear on The Hair's reality show? And wasn't he on every single talk show, rattling on about his brain injury and how he battled back from the brink of death without ever once mentioning that his traumatic head banging was a result of the Tony Awards faulty screen lowering?
Me thinks someone has huge medical bills to pay, and he wants Tony to cough up the dough.
Someone oughta smack him in the head.

Chris Brown.
He beats up his girlfriend and gets a little fine and some community service, along with a couple of anger management courses.
M'kay.

Then he goes and ALLEGEDLY 'rihanna's' his dressing room at Good Morning America last week because Robin Roberts dared to ask him about the beating of his ex-girlfriend.
Now, probably the worst thing that could happen tot his poor man, is he is being snubbed by a couple of celebrity dancers on 'Dancing With The Stars'.
Oh, the humanity!
It seems Brown got a chilly welcome from some of the celebrities when he performed in the ballroom this week, especially from Kirstie Alley, Wendy Williams and domestic abuse victim, Cheryl Burke, who said, "As a victim of domestic violence, I don't agree with him coming on the show, but it's out of my control."
I agree, he isn't, or maybe wasn't, a good guy, but do we hold that grudge forever, or do we move on?
And Wendy Williams--whom I love for the fact that she doesn't know when to keep quiet--has been quite vocal about her dislike for Chris ever since he attacked then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. After his 'GMA' blowup, she said on her talk show that she was "disgusted with this little boy."
I imagine she was more than chilly when he showed up on DWTS.
Kirstie Alley, while she get her yap closed, except when she was eating, basically stayed clear away from Brown while he was in the building.
But even show host Tom Bergeron warned that there might be trouble if he had to interview Brown. "I did say to the producers that it might be to their advantage to not have me interview him, because my natural tendency would be to say something."
i understand the disgust.
I understand the anger.
But how long does Chris Brown have to pay for this? Now, don't get me wrong, I don't like the guy, and, had I been a part of the show--[sidenote: I giggle, picturing myself doing the cha cha]--I would have steered clear of him, too.
But I'd'a kept my mouth shut.

You can come to the party in an egg.
You can come to the party in a meat dress.
You can come to the party with a plastic lobster on your head.
But DO NOT get drunk and play the fool at a Lady Gaga birthday party.

We have Adam Lambert to thank for this lesson, and I'm sure there will be a PSA about it soon.....The more you know......shooting star!
It seems that close friends of Gagas--and I believe that means the good folks at Egglands Best and the Meat council--threw her a surprise 25th birthday party at La Cita Bar over the weekend, and Adam Lambert--not one of the official guests...party crasher--came as a guest of Scissor Sisters.
And came drunk. ALLEGDLY.
Perez Hilton who was also at the party--because he's had his enormous pink-haired head up Gaga's ass since day one--says Adam Lambert began some intense fist-pumping and kept beating on the walls until he actually punched a hole in the bar's low ceiling.
A source--and by source I mean the minion who carried Gaga around in an enormous Gucci bag--says, "Adam acted like an animal. He kept jumping up on the tables and chairs and screaming. When they brought the cake out he tried to smear it in Gaga's face and put a doll from the cake in her mouth!"
Then he tried to sing to Gaga.
How.Rude.
Singing. To the birthday girl. At her birthday party. How.Rude.
But, ALLEGEDLY, that was the final straw in Gaga's scarecrow headpiece, and she ordered her security team--AKA The Keebler Elves--to throw Lambert out.
And, as we are all apt to do these days--except me, because I don't Tweet--Lambert later tweeted: "Was trying for celebratory gesture 4 gaga's B- piñata style...instead my fist is all bruised and la cita has a hole in the ceiling. #sloppy".
Indeed.
But I hear his mascara never ran.
Now that's a star!
