Blu-ray Jackson

2009-06-29T15:55:00.000-07:00

We all saw on the BET Awards last night the disgusting display of callous behavior by Joe Jackson, when asked about his family. What's worse is today, he's even more serious about profiting from Michaels's death, and has the King of Opportunity, Al Sharpton, by his side - making sure he cashes in.

What parent would put a money making opportunity before feelings for his youngest son? Unfortunately, the same parent that was awarded temporary custody today to Michael's children. The temp orders are in Katherine Jackson's name only, for obvious reasons, but I don't think these poor kids are safe anywhere.

This Is Why One Should NEVER Eat Fast Food

2009-04-14T22:24:00.000-07:00

These sick Dominos Pizza workers have since been fired, but nonetoosoon. After sticking cheese up his nose, snotting onto the food and putting the meat around his bottom area, these sickos sent out the food to some poor unsuspecting people. Sad.

They should bring up charges on these two; this is criminal.

Pure Costume Genius

2009-04-10T22:47:00.000-07:00

In Providence, RI, an NBC Channel 10 reporter thought he'd go straight to the source to get the scoop on an alleged cyberstalking that took place at a library to harass a costume shop competitor.

The costume shop owner, of course, wears a costume throughout the conversation with the reporter. When asked to remove the mask, the crazy costume owner pulls it off to reveal another mask underneath. Pure costume genius.

The Fame Accent

2009-04-01T02:49:00.000-07:00

I call it the fame accent, when famous people begin to take themselves too seriously and pickup some regal accent, as if they've been knighted. Madonna for example, is one of those slutty accent dames that rolls with a "fame accent".

Here Lady Gaga is taking Madonna's very own fame accent and putting her own special whispery twist to it. The dame also seems a little coked-up, or is it me? In the video, Lady Gaga slips in there that she can't wait for some of the "old pics from her partying days" to surface on the internet. You know what that means. Sextape! Ew.

The Real Sasha Fierce

2009-03-30T07:30:00.000-07:00

Vince Shlomi, 44, of ShamWow fame, was arrested and charged on felony battery for beating a prostitute in South Beach. The arrest affidavit reads that Vince Shlomi paid the hooker, 26-year-old, Sasha Harris, $1000, while staying in his $750 room at Setai hotel. The two met in a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7, where Shlomi said, the hooker "propositioned him for straight sex." When ShamWow dude kissed his lady of the night, he tells cops that she "bit his tongue and would not let go." In an effort to get Sasha to release, he then began severely beating her in the face until she gave up on his tongue.

The cops were called at 4am when Shlomi ran bleeding into the hotel lobby, where security called the police. Both parties were arrested and charged with felony battery. The prostitute sustained facial fractures and lacerations, for which, she says, she intends to sue the Slap Chop and ShamWow marketer, who was treated at Mount Sinai Medical Center.

Smoking Gun

Octostripper

2009-03-25T22:33:00.000-07:00

Octomom used to be a stripper - I kid you not. If you were wondering why a lady, pregnant with eight babies would bother with lip-injections, paparazzi and hair dye, it's because she used to be a stripper. Now doesn't that explain the need for love from 14 children with no father and few family members.

The National Enquirer reports that Nadya Suleman shared with a friend that she was once a stripper, during an "investigative" stage of her life.

She said at 18, “I had not even kissed a boy. But I entered a dance/lingerie contest in a club near my home. I danced and paraded in lingerie.”

“Then, when I was 19, I went to a gentleman’s club and performed as a topless dancer. But I only did it one night. I quit when I found out I was expected to perform lap dances on the customers.”

What's next in this crazy saga? You know the best is yet to come.

Pharrell Dances For Food

2009-03-25T20:55:00.000-07:00

Pop producer Pharrell tried to sweet sing his way into a big mac, filet-o-fish and an apple pie, at a Paris McDonald's on Tuesday. Sounds like they were only serving breakfast, but the McDonald's workers were not charmed by the stars dance skills and left him standing in the McDonald's alone.

The Perez Party at SXSW

2009-03-23T21:41:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah, we were there for the Perez Hilton party at SXSW 2009 and it was off the chain! The place to be this year at SXSW. We were lamenting missing was Kanye West, playing at the Fader Fort downtown, which was a supposed to be a big secret. He then showed up at the Perez party!!! Totally fun night. Other guests were Margaret Cho, Indigo Girls, Ladyhawke, Thunderheist, Solange, Little Boots, Yelle and Kraak & Smaak, Ida Maria, Rye Rye and Natalie Portman's Shaved Head.

Here's Perez introducing Kid Cudi and Little Boots, who sang together before Kanye hit the stage.

Farewell To A True Lady

2009-03-18T23:02:00.000-07:00

After many conflicting reports of Natasha Richardson's condition, following a fall during a ski accident, she has died at 45. Monday, Natasha was injured while vacationing with her boys.

Her family has released this statement:

"Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha. They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time."

She was a lovely, elegant lady and an absolutely fantastic actress. She will be missed.

Rihanna Really Took A Beating

2009-02-19T20:21:00.000-08:00

What kind of freak?

TMZ has the first photo of evidence of the abuse Rihanna endured, allegedly, by the hands of Chris Brown. That 80's sitcom looking mofo should be locked up in a mental institution - there is no excuse.

We wish Rihanna a healthy recovery and hope she finds her way.

Joaquin Falls Fails at Rapping

2009-01-19T11:56:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone. Sorry we've been away for a very long time- creating new blogs and websites, but our love for gossy hasn't gone away. If you will forgive us our long time-out, today we'd like to bring you a fine actor, a real thespian-turned rapper, Joaquin Phoenix, who sucks at rapping, then falls right off the stage.

That's exactly how he should end his rapping career.

Brit Performs Flawlessly at the Bambis

2008-11-28T10:55:00.000-08:00

Britney Spears performed "Womanizer" at the Bambi Awards in Germany and may we say she was flawless. She even had to battle a giant cage ball on stage and handled it perfectly. We thought we'd never get to say that she looks great, her body is in perfect shape.

She'll be ready and prime for her upcoming American tour.

Good work Daddy Spears.

Mostly Human, Partially Cyborg Beyonce on Ellen

2008-11-28T10:40:00.000-08:00

2008-11-28T10:24:00.001-08:00

Do you think the people that came out to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade understood the value of a live Rickrolling? This is where No matter, we thought it was funny. Those Americans are all about the laughs.

See for yourself.

Dell Quells Music Player Rumors

2008-11-13T12:34:00.000-08:00

Last week, there were rumors that Dell was planning a music player to rival the iPod to reinvigorate its consumer products, but those rumors have since been quelled . On Monday, the Dell blog states clearly that a music player will not be part of their long-term plans to reach consumers.

"As we said a few months ago, our strategy focuses on content offerings and delivery platforms that mix Zing software, remote access and pre-configured media bundles across all of our devices, including licensing agreements with entertainment distributors," said the post. "It has never been about a music player."

So for now, don't expect Dell to jump into the music game. Apple still has that market and will probably dominate the music market with their slick music products for years to come.

Paula Abdul Fan Found Dead

2008-11-13T12:11:00.000-08:00

Celeb website, TMZ reported that the 2006 contestant was discovered in her parked car yesterday. Her death is believed to be a "possible suicide", although the Los Angeles county coroner's office has not, yet released official information.

The woman's parents were aware of her obsession with American Idol judge, Paula Abdul and told police that she may be at Paula's house, when she went missing.

Paula Abdul had been aware of the obsession for "several years", Entertainment Tonight reported, and is said to be "shocked and saddened" by her death.

2008-11-11T18:13:00.000-08:00

Lately, Keith's numerous, strident special comments have been wearing thin on me, like he's trying too hard to emulate Edward R. Murrow. But I appreciate this special comment. Thanks, Keith.

Here's to you Larry Nodarse. Protest Prop 8, November 15!

It's Not Sarah Palin's Fault

2008-11-08T18:37:00.000-08:00

McCain aides have been "bashing" Sarah Palin, or giving a little background on the behind the scenes during the campaign with Palin, saying things like she didn't know that Africa was a continent and she did not know which countries were part of NAFTA. Campbell Brown makes some very good points, when she says to McCain aides: "Can I please remind you of one thing? You picked her".

That's what we say!

Religulous Trailer

2008-11-07T22:38:00.000-08:00

Even for the not-so-open-minded, I'd suggest this movie. A very poignant movie that questions the theory of religion, done in a way that will both make you laugh, cause you to question and educate you a bit on the many, ridiculous religions.

Times They are achangin'!

Decemberists New Song "Rain Song"

2008-11-07T22:31:00.000-08:00

Decemberists have a new album titled, Always The Bridesmaid: Vol. III A-side - here's the "Raincoat Song". It's all starting to sound the same for us really, kind of like, when you're a kid and you go into an antique shop and it all smells equally old and dusty. It's hard to tell one time period from the next. They've driven the point, and we'd personally like to hear something fresh, maybe an addition of a more modern instrument?

If you're a big Decemberists fan, you'll love it, cause it's got all the elements, without the evolution.

McCain On SNL

2008-11-02T20:18:00.000-08:00

SNL keeps the hits coming and this week was no exception. John and Cindy McCain joined in for some laughs last night and I have to say, it's the most interesting and/or charming he's been this entire election.

The Freaks Come Out On Halloween

2008-11-02T20:00:00.000-08:00

A very mean-spirited McCain supporter, Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, refused to give "handouts" to trick or treaters that came to her house, on Halloween, if their parents were not voting for McCain. When she was asked why she was discriminating, her answer was, "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."

Creepy.

Sarah Palin - PUNKED!

2008-11-02T19:30:00.000-08:00

OMG, this is priceless. Govenor Sarah Palin got pranked badly by The Masked Avengers of Montreal's CKOI 96.9 FM radio station. The prankers called Sarah impersonating French President Nicholas Sarkozy. During the conversation the master prankers asked her ridiculously unprofessional questions, which she answered with giggles - even when they complimented her "documentary" made by Hustler, "Nalin Palin".

Someone needs a reality check.
