Down...but not Out
________________________________________________________________ Bad news...sorta. I'll probably be w/o a computer again for a day or two. My old computer has been fixed and should be back by Monday night...soooooo...I think I"ll be returning my loaner today.
I'll leave you with this humorous joke during Leno's monologue last night. With regard to the news that Michael Richards will be apologizing to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, Leno asked..."who do people apologize to when white people are insulted? Who is the head white guy...I mean, would they apologize to Ron Howard? Opie is our leader..."
Okay...it's not an exact quote...but u get the gist.
Well, enjoy the rest of your weekend...and I'll be back soon, hopefully with some exciting gossip! :)

Titos Tacos
________________________________________________________________ Titos Tacos is an extremely popular taco stand down here in the LA area. I don't really care for the food (of course, I'm not big into mexican food period), but the commercial is freakin' catchy and I can't get it out of my head.

Blah Blah Blah
________________________________________________________________ Kelly Ripa is a hypocrite - she once covered Regis' mouth w/her hand...the same thing she's pissed at Clay Aiken for doing to her and saying how disrespectful he is and that she would never do that. Maybe Regis just doesn't count...you know, the dude that's responsible for me even knowing her name.
Lindsay Lohan goes on and on in a statement regarding the death of director Robert Altman - girl...lay off the crack and give it up, you're still a nobody in terms of the actresses who have worked for Altman.
I fucking hate Jay Leno...the only segment he has that I truly enjoy is when wild animals come on, but the animal experts are ALWAYS rushed and try explaining interesting facts, and Jay rushes them off and does a lot of "uh huh", "gotcha", even though you can tell he's not listening. I keep hoping one day one of the animals will maul him so Conan can take over early! ;)
Michael Richards has hired a new publicist and has apologized to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Shit, I had no idea those were the two dudes heckling him at the comedy club. The day after Thanksgiving is referred to as "black Friday", although in Michael Richards' house it has a different name. *ba dump dump*

Gobble Gobble Gobble
________________________________________________________________ Happpppy Thanksgiving my homies.
I hope you all have a great day of stuffing yourselves with turkey (or tofurkey for you weirdos), telling your Aunt Wanda to lay off the pills and alcohol, confronting your parents with why they never gave you enough love, and then passing out into a deeeeep turkoma. That's how my Thanksgivings usually go anyways.
I shall attempt to keep the blog going over the holiday, but frankly, there's nothing too exciting going on right now...

Kramers' Apology
________________________________________________________________
Michael Richards appeared live on the Late Show with David Letterman to explain his racial tirade and offer an apology. This is a very awkward exchange between Richards and Letterman. It probably didn't help that Jerry Seinfeld (already scheduled to appear on Letterman before all this) urged Richards to use the show to offer an apology at the last minute. Richards was undoubtedly nervous and hesitant to rush into an apology or to use a comedic show to do so. Richards seems very uncomfortable with the setup. I actually felt bad for him at the beginning because the audience started laughing during his awkward pauses. You can even hear Seinfeld telling them "don't laugh, it's not funny". Well, it's hard to tell if he is truly sorry or not. Only time will tell. Click here to see video
Maybe I'm in the minority here...but come on, we've all lost our tempers from time to time...right? Haven't you ever been so mad at someone that you say stuff you totally don't mean, just to be hurtful? Well, I have. I'm ashamed of those times when I have lashed out at people, but it comes from a very sad place and is just some people's defense mechanism. I don't know Richards (nor do I care to)...but I don't think it's fair to judge a person based on one moment where they were caught saying horrible things. If we were all judged by our worst moment ever, none of us would have any friends. It's one thing if someone is in a rational state and goes around repeatedly making racist statements....but when someone is clearly behaving irrationally, we can't make a blanket statement about them being "racist". Maybe he is...but I don't think this one incident is proof of that.

Britney's Bad Influences
________________________________________________________________
Britney spent the weekend in Vegas partying with wild peeps like Paris Hilton and Mario Lopez. Uh oh...I wonder if Mario's dance partner Karina VodkaSmirnoff knows about this...I wouldn't want to piss her off.
Britney was seen smoking and sitting next to Paris with her pants off. Maybe she was filming an episode of that silly kid's show "Pants Off Dance Off". I dunno. As happy as I am that Britney left K-Fed, I'm not sure that Mario Lopez and Paris Hilton are steps UP.

Tidbits
________________________________________________________________
First she lands hunky Jake Gyllenhaal...now she and Orlando Bloom appear to be an official couple. Why do all of my boyfriends keep dating this talentless hack with no fashion sense!? If that's what they want...they could have me!!!! Oh yeah, I'm not a cute, perky, petite blonde. :( A British paper is claiming that Dunst and Bloom were seen kissing and cuddling at the Chateau Marmont this past week.
Josh Holloway who plays Sawyer on Lost is being considered for the role of Gambit in the next X-Men movie. The next installment of the X-men movies will not have some of the big regulars like Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry, so producers think introducing another major x-man such as Gambit would be perfect. Apparently Gambit's power is the ability to charge objects with energy, causing them to explode. In that case, Holloway is perfect, because every week on Lost he causes my heart to pound and my hoo hoo to explode with multiple orgasms.....oops TMI.

FOX Digs Deep and Finds Some Morals
________________________________________________________________
Kudos to News Corp. and FOX for cancelling their planned OJ Simpson interview and book about how he WOULD have killed Ron and Nicole, IF he had done it. FOX had received a ton of criticism after agreeing to air the special and some affiliates had already pledged not to air the special. But Rupert Murdoch, head of News Corp. said in a statement, "I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project. We are sorry for any pain that this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson". It's nice to know that sweeps month doesn't always mean selling your soul to satan...although I'm sure if advertisers weren't wary of the backlash, the special would still have been aired.
Now OJ will just have tell us how he would have done the interview...if he had done it...

ET - GO HOME
________________________________________________________________
Well, I learned my lesson...no more Entertainment Tonight for me this week. I like to watch the show to keep up to date on the goings on of Hollywood, and tonight I was particularly interested in the Michael Richards coverage...unfortunately, the majority of the show was dedicated to TomKat's wedding and not just in an objective way, but in a "we're soooo fucking honored to be here covering this super ultra glorious event" way.
GET OVER IT. It's a freakin' wedding. Gawd...Jann Carl apparently thought she was at the Oscars since she was asking all the guests "who they were wearing". Lady, if I don't give a shit who Meryl Streep is wearing at the Oscars, I sure as fuck don't give a shit who Jada Pinkett Smith is wearing to a stupid fake wedding. The Insider was even worse with a minute-by-minute (no exaggeration) account of the wedding day...."at 3:17pm, Katie was seen taking a dump in the vintage toilet".
I would like to think the coverage was a one-day only event...but I'm sure they'll find a way to drag the coverage out...the same way Tom and Katie dragged out their wedding kiss (it was reportedly 3 minutes long and guests were 'playfully' shouting for them to stop). That's disgusting...who has a freakin' 3 minute kiss in front of everyone? Oooh that's right...the dude who REALLY wants people to know he's not gay and truly in love with Katie.
ET reported that Andrea Bocelli sang Ave Maria at the ceremony...I guess he was the only singer who could tolerate the sight of the two enough to not vomit during his song.

Kramer's Seinfeld Curses
________________________________________________________________ IF you haven't heard about it by now, Michael Richards (aka Kramer from Seinfeld) was at the Laugh Factory this weekend doing stand-up when he went off on a black audience member referring to him repeatedly as the "n" word. TMZ has a very blurry video of the incident here. As of a few minutes ago though, their poll asking if Richards is racist or not was 60% yes and 40% no out of over 20,000 votes. This may offend some of you...and sorry if it does...but you're welcome to offer you're opinion as well.... But basically, I felt that more is being made over his tirade than should be. It's hard to make too many judgments based on the poor video that was obviously edited...yeah, Richards definitely seems pissed, but I actually felt like his first few comments were just part of his not-so-funny comedy shtick. He's far from the first comic to use racial slurs. I just think that he got frustrated by a heckler and took it too far. And you can still hear a lot of audience members laughing during most of this. I'm not exactly condoning his words...I just think the media is going to jump on this and make more of it than it warrants.

It's Official...Satan has Katie's Soul
________________________________________________________________ Katie has officially sold her soul to the devil. Tom and Katie wed earlier today in Italy in front of 500 of their closest friends, family, and anyone else who paid enought to attend. And the pair wasted no time in getting their pics to People magazine. Because love and a wedding ceremony is a really intimate and personal thing, right?
This photo screams "Flowers in the Attic" to me:
Katie is obviously pleading for help here to the paparazzi...
Damn you Cruise...you may have won the battle, but you will not win the war! P.S. He must have some major lifts in his shoes for them to be the same height! Or maybe he had part of her femurs removed.
Brooke and J-Lo obviously didn't get the message about not upstaging the bride. Well good for them. And what the fuck is Posh wearing!? The lack of food in her has left her brain the size of a pea...she must think she's at a fashion show. But at least she got the color right for THIS wedding.
