Sorry ya'll, must get some sleep ASAP. So I'll just leave you with this for today...if you didn't get a chance to see Katie Couric's interview with Michael J. Fox from last night, you can see the full video here. It's rather long - 23 minutes, but I definitely recommend the first 10 minutes at least.
The mind is intact, but the body is not. Very sad and hard for someone who had a huge crush on him (and still does!). But I really love his dedication to the cause. He talks about how he threw vanity out the window years ago.
 I have a question for anyone out there who knows someone with advanced Parkinson's. How do they sleep at night? Do they let the medication wear off, so that their muscles become more rigid? I would assume there would still be some involuntary movements. If anyone knows, please inform me.
Maybe I'm letting my teenage crush cloud my judgment, but I really feel like he is a wonderful person and as close to a "hero" as real people can get.

Okay, this really isn't worthy of a post, at least, not the "feud". What IS worthy is the cause that Michael J. Fox is campaigning for which is why I'm posting this. If you haven't heard, MJF recently taped a few commercials to help campaign for democratic candidates in a few states. In the tape, Fox is very visibly jerking and swaying, a side effect of Parkinson's Disease (or apparently of the drugs he takes for PD). I think PD can cause both twitching and stiffness...it's more or less a loss of your motor control.
N E Ways...certain hard core right-wingers like Rush "addicted to pills" Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are criticizing Fox saying that he was acting or over-emphasizing his side effects.
I will soooooooooooooooooo kick Limbaugh's, Hannity's, or anyone else's ass that accuses Fox of anything deceptive. Anyone who has seen Fox over the past few years on talk shows knows that his tremors are very serious and continue to worsen. I am completely for stem cell research and any other type of research that can help cure some of these dibilitating diseases. Fox is one of the most active and generous celebrities when it comes to his time and money. Lots of stars talk the talk, but he puts his money (AND TIME) where his mouth is and I commend that.
So Rush...get back to popping your pills and then just slowly fade off into a coma... ;) Labels: michael j. fox, parkinson's disease, rush limbaugh, sean hannity, stem cell research

 Fiiiiiiinally...Jerry Springer has left the building. Hey, the guy sure did provide some laughs during this season's Dancing with the Stars, but compared to the remaining contestants, he's got no moves. Actually, compared to my quadriplegic Aunt Wanda, he's got no moves. But I would have had to hunt him down and throw a chair at him if he'd stayed and someone talented like Joey Lawrence or Emmitt Smith got the boot.
I'm not sure what sort of roles Robin Wright-Penn is used to, but she recently made this comment to assure people that she has not retired: "It's not that I don't want to work... I do want to work, but I want to work, not jack off." Personally, I'd rather "jack off" than work, but hey...that's just me! 
Madonna says it's the medias fault that her baby's daddy is upset over the adoption. Of course, she said this on Oprah...which last time I checked was a TV show...which I believe is part of "the media" right? You know what Madge...Wesley Snipes is perfect proof that it is possible to go to Africa without the media following you. Soooo...quit blaming "the media" for everything...I'm surprised she didn't find a way to blame George Bush for her weird adoption. I'm all for adopting needy children, but tell me...why did she have to have this one??? Are you telling me there were no other children in the orphanage who really didn't have any parents?

Shocking
________________________________________________________________
Naomi Campbell was arrested yet again for assaulting a woman - her drug counselor. I dare that bitch to come attack me. I'm not NORMALLY in favor of beating women...but someone needs to give Naomi a serious beatdown, and I'll be the first to volunteer.
Seriously...which of these things would shock you the most?
- Naomi bitch-smacking someone
- Pete Doherty being arrested for drugs and wandering around with blood all over him
- Tom Cruise waving to fans and signing autographs outside his wedding then frenching Katie in front of everyone.
- George Michael being found with 40 oz of weed on him while slumped over his steering wheel in the middle of traffic.

Dr. McAsshole has apologized for his recent antics on the set of Grey's Anatomy that resulted in actor TR Knight coming out of the closet. Isaiah Washington told People magazine "I sincerely regret my actions and the unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on-set. Both are beneath my own personal standards. I have nothing but respect for my co-workers and have apologized personally to everyone involved."
Oooh, well that makes it all better! Maybe TR Knight can just wander back into the closet and pretend none of this ever happened! Maybe Knight's cold-hearted dad who disowned his son last week and then killed himself out of shame can rise from the dead. Maybe his elderly mother who was beaten and raped by homophobic skinheads can pretend she just had a bad horseback riding accident. Ooookay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little!
But Washington WAS scheduled to appear on Ellen's show today to beg and grovel for forgiveness, but he backed out at the last minute. I'm guessing he just got done reading the next script that had his character being gang raped and then beaten to death. I can't wait for THAT episode!

Lost Recap
________________________________________________________________
Oooh, Sawyer doesn't look too hot when he gets the crap beat out of him. But at least we got to see him looking hot in the flashbacks. I like when Charlie talks about Ecko exploding. And yes, the fish biscuit and Sawyer's comment about how the bears didn't figure out his elaborate electrocution plot are funny as well. However, this is more of a serious Lost episode than a cute/charming one. Oooh wait...Sawyer telling Kate to put some clothes on and dumping a bucket of water on his head was kinda cute too. And the bunny fake dying...I almost peed my pants on that part. Uh oh...does Henry Gale have a tumor on his spine? No wonder he's so mean and cranky. I would be pretty fucking pissed too if I was stuck on an island with a deadly tumor and only a half-way decent fertility doc around.
And did I hear correctly? Do the Others have a submarine? I wonder if they sing "yellow submarine" while on board? So like, how could our islanders not see the smaller island from their island?
And the biggest clue on tonight's episode is that Desmond is Scottish and knows how to golf. Hmmmm...I think it is finally all coming together now!Labels: Desmond, fish biscuit, henry gale, island, Josh Holloway, Lost, Sawyer

________________________________________________________________
 The divorce between Paul McCartney and Hoppity Mills keeps getting dirtier and dirtier. Mills is planning to sue several British papers and tabloids for all of their lies. Among them is The Sun, which simply asks Mills which one of these "lies" she's talking about and to offer proof refuting the statements. LIE 1: Lady Mucca frantically denied working as a prostitute. But in July it emerged she was a £5,000-a-night hooker whose clients including arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and an Arab prince.
LIE 2: Heather told Sir Paul she had only been a topless model. In June we revealed she was snapped in a string of pornographic poses for a German sex manual.
 LIE 3: Her first husband Alfie Karmal has branded her a compulsive liar who left him for a ski instructor called Milos.
LIE 4: Former childhood pal Margaret Ambler threatened to sue Heather over her claims they were abducted and sexually abused as kids. Margaret, 40, insists it was only her who suffered the ordeal.
LIE 5: Mucca — who as a teenager admitted shoplifting — stole the identity of a top investigative reporter with the same name, Heather Mills, in a bid to land a TV job. The real journalist said Heather pretended to be her in meetings with telly executives. LIE 6: Heather’s dad Mark, 65, says she made up stories about him abusing her as a child. Meanwhile...we're supposed to believe that one of the most philanthropic, peace-loving men out there treats her like a dog, beats her, and makes fun of her disability? Just crawl back under the rock you came from...and I do mean crawl...cuz I've got your leg and you can't have it...neener neener. Labels: divorce, heather mills, paul mccartney

OOoh that Britney gal and her wiley husband K-Fed are soooo crafty. They tricked us all by making us think their new kid's name was Sutton Pierce....but really his name is really Jayden James. OOoooh, we were soooo duped. I bet Britney and Kevin are sitting at home snickering to themselves...or at least Kevin is...Britney is probably just spaced out and going "huh??"

Well, Access Tonight Extra Insider is reporting that the long-awaited (and postponed) TomKat wedding will occur in the next two weeks at a villa on Lake Como in Italy (no, not George Clooneys).
Sooooo, are we REALLY supposed to believe that all this wonderful "true love" led to an engagement that coincided with openings of Batman Returns and War of the Worlds, a "baby" born right when Mission Impossible 3 was opening, and now a wedding that coincides with the DVD release of MI3???
Well planned Mr. Cruise...well planned indeed.
So this is a reminder...do not forget to BOYCOTT the MI3 DVD!!!!! Tom thinks we are his puppets! He has dragged Katie into his web of crazyness and lies...and he will not be getting MY money! Labels: katie holmes, lake como, mission impossible, tom cruise, tomkat, war of the worlds, wedding

Liar Liar Methadone Ass on Fire
________________________________________________________________
I knew Anna was a liar!
TMZ is reporting that not only did Anna hook-up with Larry Birkhead in the past year...and PROBABLY Howard K. Stern as well, but she also did the nasty with some old rich coot named Gaither Ben Thompson. When she found out she was preggers, she told Thompson it was his baby (since he's rich), but he informed her that he'd had a vasectomy and therefore could NOT be the baby's daddy.
Awhile later, Thompson claims that Anna admitted to him that Larry Birkhead was actually the baby's daddy. Thompson is also  the owner of the Bahama home that Smith and Stern have been staying in. However, since she does not own the home, and has reportedly not even paid a dime of rent, this could nullify her Bahamian residence. Thompson told Smith she has to vacate the premises ASAP.
Ay yay yay...why do the damn rich people get all the freebies in life? I hope she is forced to have a paternity test done, Larry is proven to be the dad, and that he gets sole custody of little Dannie-Lynn. YEAH RIGHT! Not in this fucked up world.

Stars - They're Just Like Us!

Stars....they're just like US!!!
 They get to take children from other countries away from their parents, and then go on Oprah to exploit the child even more!
When their child dies mysteriously and unexpectedly in a room with only two other people, they are allowed to get married a few days later, lie about the paternity of their new child and ignore lawsuits while their son's body remains unburied. Yeah, that happens ALL the time to us regular folks! 
They're allowed to sneak weapons through airport security without getting arrested. And don't even tell me he wasn't sneaking some weed through as well! Labels: anna nicole smith, madonna, snoop dogg

Warner Brothers Teases Amputees
________________________________________________________________
Ugggh...It kills me to post this because I am excited about the upcoming movie "Blood Diamond" and how hot Leonardo DiCaprio looks in it, so I don't plan to boycott, and I hope others don't either.
BUT...having said that...Warner Brothers at the very least is being extremely callous towards a group of amputated teens and children from South Africa who appeared as extras in the movie and were promised they would receive limbs from the movie studio as part of a publicity deal.
The movie finished shooting months ago, but no one has received their limbs yet. When contacted for a comment, a WB spokesman said "we're working on it", but supposedly WB doesn't want to fulfill their promise until after they have milked enough publicity out of the amputees.
Hey business is business, and who knows what the actual contractual details were...I wouldn't be surprised if a movie company said they would do something AFTER the movie opened, but having us know about those terms definitely works against the studio in this case.
Well, if any of those amputees is about Heather Mills' size and needs a leg (or even an arm), I'd be happy to go and get them from her! Labels: amputees, blood diamond, heather mills, leonardo dicaprio, movies, warner brothers

Blind Vice - Toothy Tile & Jiggly Wiggle-Poof Return
________________________________________________________________
The latest gossip on two big, but very closetted gay stars from the gossip master himself, Ted Casablanca!
*********************
That Toothy Tile. He just lives to push the fagola envelope, love that about the young acting hunk! (And I know you do, too.)
Now, quite frankly, T2's latest man-on-man moves far outshine his recent movie choices; though, that's an arguable statement at best—I just don't go fer this hetero image Mr. T. is busy trying to push over on his ever loyal, hapless, ticket-buying fans.
But we'll just leave that li'l bit o' politically incorrect poo-pooing and get straight, as it were, to the attempted wild sex in the back of the limousine, 'kay? Thought you might agree...
Oh, gawd, I am getting old. I'm confusing all these closeted fruits into one big ass-banging aspic! So, sorry. It was Jiggly Wiggle-Poof who pounced—quite stupidly, I might add—on his so-not-gay limo driver while out promoting his supersuccessful boob-tube show in some hick state. And let's just say what went down was not at all what Jiggly had in mind (something bruised, not blushing).
Also, there's hope, I want you all to know, for Mr. Tile's movie career. Dare I say some of his future film projects are looking up, because, uh, how can I put this? T.T. has decided to start sleeping with better-looking people now to get his future projects—is that being too crass about it all?
In other words, for T.T.'s next 40-foot-wide job, Tooth-doll not only seduced the man who would decide the whole-deal shebang (it's sort of a studly adventure story, in so many ways), he now shares cocaine, hotel suites and party favors with the bigwig. Isn't that sweet when one can stay bestest amigos with one's ladder-climbing bed partners? Warms my jaded-ass heart.
And Jiggly is NOT: Isaiah Washington, Danny Bondaduce, or Josh Duhamel
***************
Oooh dear. Now Ted has turned my world upside down! I'm guessing TT is NOT Jake Gyllenhaal if that cocaine part is true. I know JG wouldn't do coke! AGGGHHHH Just tell us Ted!!!!Labels: gay, jiggly wiggle-poof, ted casablanca, toothy tile

 At a recent roast for George Clooney, Ellen Barkin was quoted as saying "Yes, I have fucked George Clooney. I'm very proud of it actually. If you don't have chemistry with George Clooney, you need to check your pulse."
Woah...Ellen...there's a difference between having chemistry with him and fucking him! Her spokesman claims she was just joking around, but the comment definitely raised a few eyebrows.
I don't buy it though. I know George is saving himself for me. He told me in a dream once that I was the only woman for him...and as soon as our paths cross in real life, he's more than ready to show me! And my dreams never lie!!! And yes, I DID dance the lambada with Saddam Hussein while he was wearing reindeer antlers and a red clown nose. So there! Labels: ellen barkin, george clooney, saddam hussein

Movies
________________________________________________________________
Did anyone catch any movies this weekend?
I saw The Prestige and Running With Scissors.
Personally, I really enjoyed The Prestige. I normally don't like movies that take place in "olden times", but Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are so nice to look at, I barely noticed. Plus, it's more of a mystery than your typical period dramas. Even though I could tell where it was going, I still enjoyed the ride. What did you think?
As for Running With Scissors, I think I was expecting too much out of it because I was really looking forward to this. The previews make it look a lot funnier than it really is. There definitely are SOME funny parts, but it's much more of a downer than it appears. Still, it's a unique story with quirky characters...and I'd still rather see that than a cliche, boring story anyday. Labels: christian bale, hugh jackman, movies, running with scissors, the prestige

More Dr. McAsshole News
________________________________________________________________
TMZ has reported that there are at least 2 other incidences in Isaiah Washington's acting past that involved his temper and poor judgment. One incident involved the police, but it wasn't clear exactly what the incident was. The other one involved Washington giving a co-star an aggressive "full contact" kiss when it was supposed to be more of a peck.
Some people are urging ABC to fire Washington from the show for his outburst last week that consisted of calling TR Knight a "faggot".
But personally, I think the writers should just punish him by having Rosie O'Donnell's Nip/Tuck character guest star and have sex with Washington's character repeatedly. Labels: grey's anatomy, Isaiah Washington, nip/tuck, rosie o'donnell, T.R. Knight

R.I.P Jane Wyatt
________________________________________________________________
Jane Wyatt, a popular actress in the 50s and 60s died this weekend at the age of 96. She is probably best known as the mother on the TV show Father Knows Best. But I know her mainly as Spock's mom in both the tv show Star Trek and in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
And, actually, I thought she was once married to Ronald Reagan...but it turns out that was Jane Wyman, another old timey actress. Wyatt, Wyman...potato potahhhto....

Keith Urban in Rehab
________________________________________________________________
Country singer and recent newlywed Keith Urban has checked himself into rehab for an undisclosed substance addiction. Urban has been in rehab before for drug issues. In his statement, Urban says, "I deeply regret the hurt this has caused Nicole and the ones that love and support me. One can never let one's guard down on recovery and I'm afraid that I have. With the strength and unwavering support I am blessed to have from my wife, family and friends, I am determined and resolved to a positive outcome."
Hey, if I got forced into a wedding I didn't want either, I'd probably turn to drugs as well. Nahhhh...I feel bad for Nicole Kidman. She just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to the men in her life.
But since going to rehab is the 2nd trendiest thing right now (right behind adopting orphans), I think Keith will be okay. Labels: alcohol, drugs, keith urban, nicole kidman, rehab

NBC Cutbacks
________________________________________________________________
Well, if you haven't heard, NBC announced last week that it's going to make 750 million dollars worth of cutbacks next year. The president of NBC said they will produce less dramas and sitcoms and air more reality shows and game shows. Hmmm...I'm foreseeing shows like The Apprentice's Apprentice or a Dave Coulier-hosted game show where people answer 2nd-grade questions for gift certificates to Chilis or the Olive Garden.
Anyways, I have a few suggestions that might help NBC save some money...
- Hire Katie Couric back for the Today Show. You can get rid of Meredith's $40 million contract and prolly get Katie back for like $2 million considering how poor her CBS ratings are.
- Move Studio 60 off the pricey Sunset Strip and put it in the heart of Inglewood on Crenshaw Blvd.
- Give the folks on Heroes cheaper super powers. Instead of flying and tissue regeneration...they could have super powers like being able to sneeze with their eyes open or being able to release powerful farts anytime they like.
- And finally, just keep Al Roker away from the cheese doodles.
