Well THAT'S exciting

Lindsay Lohan, the latest big name to emerge from rehab with a "changed life" and supposedly a changed outlook, does have a single redeeming factor.
It seems the young lady in question has taken to reading Machiavelli.

The book she carries "with her everywhere" is, strangely enough, a book entitled "the Prince", which, for those of you who aren't fans of Machiavelli, The Prince is about man who, of necessity, has to discharge a batch of wicked deeds to achieve the greater good.
Granted, not what you might choose for a self help guide.
I, on the other hand, am grateful to find one of the Hollywood horde who is actually literate.

According to 24/Sizzler, Madonna and Morrisey aren't on friendly terms.

Eco friendly Morrisey took pot shots at Madonna that included her adopted son, bordering on bigotry in the process.
ccording to the Sizzlers spies, the Peta proud Morrisey ripped a comment off about Madonna, who has been known to wear a fur coat or two.“I wouldn’t be surprised if she [Madonna] made that African boy into a coat and wore him … for 15 minutes, and then threw it away.”
PETA it seems can brain wash even the ones you might have thought actually had a brain. Seems someone forgot to tell Mr. Morrisey that not all fur is murder. due to that pesky mortality thing, some of them just... die.. Being one of those who isn't apparently in the know, I just assumed it was better to use things than to let them rot on the side of a road.

Maybe it's just me, but the PETA-celebrity link lately does tend to be as overdone as Paris Hilton and substance abuse, and probably causes more stomach upset


Morrisey, who wrote the ever popular "Meat is Murder" has been a staunch supporter of animal rights since an early age.

You Don't Say II

According to papers posted on the "Smoking Gun"(TM) last week, (A search warrant affadavit)the DEA was aware that Benoit's doctor Astin was prescribing him a "ten month supply" of anabolic steriods every three to four weeks" during a period from May 06 to May of 07.

It seems they knew he was what they called "an excessive purchaser of injectable steroids" before he killed himself and his family earlier this month.
The obvious question would be, why wait until the inevitable happened before you took that under advisement?/

Anne Heche Our favorite gay again-straight again actress and her estranged husband are reportedly embroiled in a bitter ongoing battle.

She and Coley Laffoon are arguing over some of the possessions of their home.


The temporary issuance of a judges order gives them the directive to alternate use of the house while Anne is in LA.
Most notable among the possessions they are at odds over are a king sized bed and a ... footstool??

Can you say... materialistic?

Lily Allen, Brit pop star says she doesn’t want to be a celebrity.
Still she seems willing to become part of the elite when it comes to doing what celebrities do.
Allen, aged 21, purportedly punched out photog Kevin rush a couple weeks ago was arrested in London Thursday on charges of punching photographer Kevin Rush.

Apparently it happened in London in March as she left a well known club with her boyfriend.

Lindsay Lohan had drugs in her system when she was involved in the auto accident recently??
Oh you're joking..
Apparently Lohan had cocaine and "nearly twice the legal amount of alcohol" in her blood when she was arrested last month TMZ.com reports.
A spokesperson from the DA's offices say they are still gathering information and are not ready to release information.(don't look now, but someone released it for you.)
Lindsay will be arraigned on August 24.

DA’s Office spokeswoman Jane Robison says they are still gathering reports from police and are not ready to release any information on Lohan or to charge her with a crime. Lohan’s arraignment is set for Aug. 24

You Don't Say...

Lionel Richie, when questioned about his daughter’s drunken driving, responded with this:

“She’s just in an unfortunate situation,”

The master of understatements that comment..


I'd personally say that's more than true, however given that this is her second offense, the "situation" rises in estimation to a "chronic situation" .
I would think those who are faced with her remaining behind the wheel, are the unfortunate ones.

Surprise..
Phil Spector's security guard says he heard him say, that all women should be shot in the head.

Is there one of us alive who hasn't ranted against the opposite sex at one point or another, regardless of how diplomatic or Pc we try to be.

After my own second divorce I personally believed that if men weren't in possession of a certain anatomical part, we'd have a bounty on them as nuisance animals.

In croatia,
Goran Visnjic is being accused of being a not-so-proud papa.

A woman has accused the ‘ER’ cast member of fathering a little girl who is 4 months

While it boggles the mind that many of the stars of today, with all their positive assets can't take simple responsibility for things like this, it isn't a huge shock is it?


Mirela Rupic filed a lawsuit after Visnjic refused to recognize the child as his.

When in the course of human events, a woman insists on a paternity test, she's usually fairly certain of her accusation.

Interesting...

It seems that there is a round of nastiness playing out on the beauty queen circuit.
In its article entitled "Tainted Tiaras" ABC news reported this morning on pageant winners being the target of blackmail and extortion in an attempt to make them give up the crowns.

Using some photos of Amy Polumbo, taken long before she was crowned Miss New Jersey, blackmailers gave her a deadline to step down.
She appears before a local Miss American chapter next week who will decide whether or not she keeps the crown.

YOu have to remember the Vanessa tribulations.
You have to view this from all angles really don't you.

Angle one:

People aren't perfect. They make mistakes and they move on.. This shows their strength of purpose, how they've grown.

Angle Two:

Pageants are a waste. This is proven by their inability to permit people who are strong and got past bad episodes in their lives, to move on. They must be seen as absolutely perfect. The Barbie doll image personified. They must not admit to ever having made a human mistake. Pageantry encourages dishonesty by virtue of what it says. You must be perfect.. and in reality, no one ever is.

Angle the third..
Are all beauty queens inherent idiots?/
I'm not saying that you don't make mistakes.. we all do.. I AM saying that if you made a mistake huge enough to lose you a crown, and you let someone PHOTOGRAPH you doing it. Then you truly have a great deal to learn.

What Next??

Jessica Smith,

a previous member of the cast of MTV's "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," recently got three years probation after pleading guilty to .. gasp... drunken driving..Smith was also ordered to do 80 hours of community service and pay over a thousand dollars in fines.
The rules are apparently different for celebrities.. She was arrested after driving drunk and hitting another car, causing slight injuries to two people..
So.. how.. did we get from there to misdemeanor DUI?? well apparently she only caused minor injuries and that makes it all okey dokey..
Her arrest came after she crashed into a Beetle on the freeway.. Way to teach her responsibility for those actions judge..

Did she or didn't she??

Avril Lavigne is facing a lawsuit brought by a 1970s rock band who claims that her song "Girlfriend" is a ripoff of their music.


Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer are filing the lawsuit filed alleging that Lavigne and her co-writers swiped their 1979 song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend," which was originally performed by new wave band The Rubinoos.
The duo explained their actions by commenting.."
"We are not so naive as to chalk it up to some sort of cosmic coincidence,"
Sheesh.. ya don't think?/

OH DEAAAR GOD?? Tell me you aren't buying this ridiculous example of an excuse


When all else fails in Hollywood, you grasp the "method acting" defense.. Britney Spears latest, and in my humble opinion very best, attempted explanation of the car attack..informed her public.. with a straight face no less, that she attacked a car with an umbrella -- because she was... rehearsing for a movie role.
Well alright then..
As the fading pop star attempts to revive her career after some real issues such as a go at rehab, the ever popular panty-less pics and a divorce pending, she has posted a new comment on her website, www.britneyspears.com, apologizing to the photo snappers for the minor incident, calling it a "stunt."
"I was preparing my character for a roll ..." the 25-year-old wrote. "I take all my rolls very seriously and got a little carried away."

She failed to name the movie and claims to have not gotten the part.. QUELLE surprise.

and so it goes...

Just when you thought they might make it..



Just after a judge sentenced Rocker Pet Doherty to enter rehab for drug and driving offenses, Moss hired movers to take his belongings out of her home.
having spent several years on mothering the man though some serious stuff, I can't say I blame her for knowing when to fold her hand and pack it in.

And in another tragic tale of wasted youth...

Al Gore III, illustrious silver spooner son of Vice President Al Gore was arrested on "suspicion of drug possession on Wednesday".
source story

Gores little man, aged 24 was pulled over after 2 in the morning for purportedly driving at a high rate of speed (100 mph)
in the Laguna Hills area.
Deputies searching the car found vicodin, valium, xanax, soma, adderall and marijuana.
Da-amn.. and he was STILL driving fast?

Al's Boy and Paris aren't the only ones who seem to be less than strictly law abiding citizens ..

Among the who's who crew, more than just a few have seen the inside of a cell.

Among the jailbirds in recent memory:


"Rocky" actor Sylvester Stallone pled guilty to bringing vials of an illegal performance-enhancing drug, into Australia. facing up to five years in prison and close to $90,000 in fines

Ty Pennington was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Los Angeles on May 5

The list, just seems to go on.. paris Hilton, Zsa Zsa, Mel Gibson..
Do you think it might be easier if we just listed who hasn't been arrested??

July 4 2007. US Independence Day

It seems congratulations are in order

Singer Christina Aguilera and husband are pregnant... Or are they??
Christina has been rumored pregnant prior to now, the latest being in February of this year.. Time will tell I guess.. If so, she isn't the only entertainer who is replenishing the earth..
Actress Demi Moore recently showed off her extra baggage in NYC at the "live Free or Die Hard" movie of ex-husband Bruce Willis.

The baby boom, it seems isn't always a happy occasion.

HUGE surprise huh?? Stepping up in celebrity world sometimes simply means stepping up the plane ramp to bolt from responsibility.
"Scary Spice", aka Melanie Brown claims she is taking Eddie Murphy to court. Iris Angel Murphy Brown has not yet been presented with a paternity test from her alleged daddy, and Melanie is taking him to court to force him to do so.
Meanwhile, erstwhile Eddie, claims on television to not know who the baby belongs to. Come on buddy.. you may not know who fathered the little girl for certain, but you certainly know if theres a chance it belongs to you..
Unless you seriously lack in short term memory, little things like sex with a Spice girl just don't slip your mind.

Still backpedaling with furious speed, " I am not homophobic – in no way, shape or form," said Isaiah Washington, with regard to the slur he reportedly tossed.


But Washington did reportedly admit to feeling guilty about repeating it backstage at the Golden Globe Awards. "I wish I could take that back," Washington said.


How about this instead.. why not try.. THINKING before you open your mouth.. Novel idea I'm sure among the ranks of the rich and spoiled, but its a common thing out here in the real world.
I do admit to a bit of sympathy for Washington though.
In todays politically correct society, if we so much as hint at not liking someone who isn't of our race, path, religion or beliefs, we are labeled instantly as a bigot..
Now in some cases thats probably true, but there are reasons to suspect that Washington was irritated at things other than the beliefs or sexuality of his costar.
Why is it, that we can't hate someone with impunity unless they match up with us in every aspect.
