Pic Scandal Won't Dethrone Miss France, Valerie Begue

Isn't it nice to know that you can keep your post as a beauty queen when you have some media outlet publishing racy pictures of you? France seems to think it is OK, and I agree. What else do most of these contestants have going for them besides their beauty? Why keep up the facade? All we want to do is blast the sound on our Bose home theater and listen to them make fools of themselves when talking about world events. Miss France 2008 will keep her crown, despite racy photos that appeared recently in a gossip magazine, but will not compete in the Miss World or Miss Universe pageants.

Valerie Begue, 22, will not be stripped of the title she won Dec. 8, but will not be allowed to take part in upcoming international competitions, Miss France organizers said Friday.

This photo though isn't really all that racy. It just happens to be a bit offensive to religious folks. Take a look:

Media Screws Over Will Smith

What else is new right? Will Smith made some random comment in an interview like this:

"Even Hitler didn't wake up going, 'let me do the most evil thing I can do today'," said Smith. "I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was 'good'.Stuff like that just needs reprogramming."

The MEdia takes that comment and turns it into a headline like this:

SMITH: 'HITLER WAS A GOOD PERSON,'

With quotes like this:

In response to Smith's comment, Jan Winter of Page Six wrote, "Will, you've broken our hearts. It’s you that needs reprogramming."

Are you an idiot too? What are your thoughts on it? Some of these people need Danze fauctes shoved up their back side.

Little Spears Has Nickelodeon Trying to Cash In

The Spears family is a gossip page favorite. They do it all. Go crazy, steal things, and get pregnant. This time it wasn't Britney in the news, but her younger sister Jamie Lynn. Honestly I had never heard of her before this, and didn't know she had a show on Nickelodeon, but apparently she did.

Anyways...Nickelodeon is trying to figure out if they should run a special show to try and teach kids about sex following the news about the 16-year old's pregnancy. I'm sure they are huddled around the espresso machine counting their money already. They may say they are disappointed about the news, but since the show had aired it's final episode already they may as well ride the hype machine and cash one last check from it.

The most surprising thing about the whole affair is the Little Separs is only 16, while the father of her unborn baby is 19. Last I checked that was a crime in the U.S., but what are you gonna do?

Britney Accused of Shoplifting

Looks like Britney was out and about and stealing lighters from gas stations recently.

"Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I'm hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it,"station owner Jatinder Kaur told PEOPLE.

The pop star was on her way out of a Chevron station in Sherman Oaks, Calif., after having bought a pack of gum when a paparazzo pointed out that she had neglected to pay for the $1.39 lighter.

"I stole something. Oh, I'm bad!," she responded sarcastically.

What a moron. Next thing you know it will be someone's Girard Perregaux watch, or even their cash. IT isn't really the point that it is a cheap lighter. It just shows she has no respect for anyone.

Celebs Enter 'Rehab With Dr. Drew'

Looks like there are a few celebs that won't be filling up their christmas mugs holiday spirit this year. Dr. Drew, best known for his radio and TV show 'Loveline,' heads to VH1 for a new show 'Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew,' ET Online reports.

"There's still a stigma with addiction," Dr. DREW PINSKY tells ET's JANN CARL. "I'm hoping that this program sort of removes some of the stigma by helping people understand what a human condition this is, how painful it is, and the context in which it operates."

Dr. Drew uses LINDSAY LOHAN's case as a prime example of what leads some celebrities -- or anyone struggling with addiction -- to destructive behavior.

"I want to go to the bar, I want to go see my friends, and I'm young; I've got an ankle bracelet on, I'm not going to go drink," speculates Drew about Lindsay's mindset. "But the brain's like, 'Yeah, right, you're not going to drink -- go, go.' Once you're there, you're using. That is a great example of how addiction works -- that abnormal instinct-thinking."

Paul McCartney's Wife Says Rich People Suck

Shortly after arriving back from her many shopping sprees, buying leather lingerie, diamond necklaces, and luxury automobiles...OK I don't know this, I'm just assuming...lol

Heather Mills McCartney, who is reportedly seeking millions of dollars in her breakup with Paul McCartney, denounced the world's rich as misers and snobs Wednesday.

"Sadly, you have to mix at a certain level of people to raise the level of funds you need to bring about the greater good," she said. "Because people are very snobby. These people who have lots of money, they're either snobby or they're stingy. If you have lots of money, you have to be stingy - because why would you want that amount of money?"

She also compared herself to human rights crusaders down through the ages, suggesting they all had been victimized for their beliefs.

"If you look at every single person in the history of the world who has tried to make a difference, you'll find a very long section of their lives where they were treated horrifically by the government or by the media," she said. more

Neil Diamond Reveals Identity of 'Caroline'

After 400 years of hearing this song, and actually having it on my ipod (Some Girls Like this guy*cough*), Neil has decided to reveal just who "Caroline" is.

Neil Diamond held onto the secret for decades, but he has finally revealed that President Kennedy's daughter was the inspiration for his smash hit "Sweet Caroline."

So...shocking moment in music history, or irrelevant? People may actually know who he is now because of his random stupid movie appearances, but his fans are probably laid up by now. OK...I'm not gonna lie. I went to one of his concerts with one of my ex-girlfriends a few years back. There I said it. I like Neil Diamond.

Judge OKs New Defendents in Notorious B.I.G. Suit

Gotta be a lot of room in a suit that size...MIRITE? Yeah...that is kind of insensitive. The guy didn't exactly have the quality exercise equipment we do now like the ellipticals which are such a better option than treadmills were.

Seriously though. Didn't realize that Biggie was still something in court. The rapper is one of my all-time favorites, and his untimely death took a lot of the quality out of the rap industry, but I did not realize this case was still being worked.

Several new defendants including record executive Marion "Suge" Knight may be allowed into the wrongful-death lawsuit brought by the family of murdered rapper Notorious B.I.G. , a federal judge tentatively ruled. You know Suge. Craziest man in the rap industry and part of many legends of violence. Not surprising at all he has been added to the list of defendants. Didn't realize he was even on the streets anymore.

Paris Hilton Visits Shanghai

Yes, our favorite celebrity, besides Britney of course, went to some country and shopped instead of being in some sort of asylum for their addiction treatment. Glad to see they all get to get out and about once in a while to check out the sights and levae us some fantastic quotes to post about.

"Shanghai looks like the future!" Hilton said in a news conference at the Hyatt on the waterfront, one of the newest landmarks in a city teaming with new skyscrapers.

Fascinating. Just Fascinating.

Lindsay Lohan Serves 84 Minutes for Two DUIs

Most people see this as rather outrageous, but it is pretty much standard for these types of cases. In July, Nicole Richie served 82 minutes for a 2006 DUI. Why they bother is beyond me if they know a head of time that this is going to happen when they arrive. She was supposed to only serve 24 hours anyways so it isn't like she was going to be in there making modern furniture and license plates. Most assume that because they are celebrities that they are getting some sort of break, but typically that is far from the case. Anyone with the same sentence and record would probably get the same deal as long as they actually hired a lawyer instead of just pleading guilty like a moron.

Hilton Tries to Help Drunk Elephants

Now here's a good story. Paris Hilton is jumping on board a serious problem that is plagueing North-east India. Binge Drinking Elephants! Activists said a celebrity endorsement such as Hilton's was sure to raise awareness of the plight of the pachyderms that get drunk on farmers' homemade rice beer and then go on a rampage. These things are a serious threat and have eaten my bulk cable supply more than once. Oh the humanity!

"The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them," the 26-year-old socialite said in a report posted on World Entertainment News Network's Web site. Her comments were picked up by other Web sites and newspapers around the globe.

I'm sure this is really a serious problem, although it is also very funny. PAris may be getting involved, but you could probably convince me very easily that she thinks this whole thing is a lark as well.

Sangeeta Goswami, head of animal rights group People for Animals, told The Associated Press: "I am indeed happy Hilton has taken note of recent incidents of wild elephants in northeast India going berserk after drinking homemade rice beer and getting killed."

"As part of her global elephant campaign, Hilton should, in fact, think of visiting this region literally infested with elephants," Goswami said.

Another conservationist said elephant alcohol abuse was just a symptom of the real problem.

"Elephants appear on human settlements ... because they have no habitat left due to wanton destruction of forests," said Soumyadeep Dutta, who heads Nature's Beckon, a leading regional conservation group.

"A celebrity like Hilton must focus her attention on this fact," Dutta said.

New York City for Christmas with CityPass

Going to visit New York is a must for anyone. It is one of the most fascinating cities on Earth, if not the most fascinating. If you know someone who is on their way in the next few months there is a unique, and affordable gift that you can hook them up with. It is called the New York CityPass.

Each City Pass booklet has a ticket to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the new Greek and Roman galleries, Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. Plus, a trip to the top of the Empire State Building Observatory and tour of the Manhattan skyline from the water aboard a Circle Line Sightseeing Cruise, along with a map, public transportation information and insider tips on the best time to visit each attraction.

The total cost of all the tickets is cut by 50% in the pass so you are saving money as well and sending your friends or family to some of the greatest sites in New York. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has to be one of the great sites in the world and I would love to get a chance to go. I would consider it a must for anyone going to New York to visit.

CityPass saves time by allowing visitors to skip most main entrance ticket lines and it saves money, because New York CityPass is sold at 50% off the combined admission price. A New York CityPass is $65 for adults (compared to $130 price if the tickets were purchased separately), and $49 for youths 12-17 (a value of $89.50.)

‘Dog’ thought he was ‘cool enough’ to use slur

lol...what an idiot. HE know has figured out that he isn't black at all. Amazingly, until he actually got in trouble for slinging racial slurs, he thought he was black, while everyone that looks at him can clearly see he is white.

“I thought that I was cool enough in the black world to be able to use that word as a brother to a brother,” he said. “I’m not. I didn’t know really know until three or four days ago what that meant to black people.”

“I now learned I’m not black at all,” Chapman said. “And I never did it out of hate.”

While I am not against anyone slinging any racial slur they want, this guy should have realized that in his position he wasn't able to do it. I still find the entire thing silly. This was a private phone call that ended up a public one. People are just not going to deal with a guy like that anymore. It's just the way things are. I imagine if I were to start throwing racial slangs around on here there would be plenty of people that would have something to say about it. Of course I wouldn't care either way as they have the right to do so as I would have the right to say what I want.

24 Season Cancelled Due to Strike

The Writers, television execs, etc. are screwing you all it appears. '24" is now done for the year says Fox. Why this is still going on is beyond me really.

The seventh season of the hit real-time series was scheduled to begin in January, but producers had completed only about one-third of its 24-episode order as of last week.

"24" started production late, and was affected by the recent wildfires. The show's star, Kiefer Sutherland, is also scheduled to do a stint in jail later this year in connection with a drunk-driving conviction.

Create Holiday Cards Online

Many people like to create their own unique holiday cards rather than going out and buying them all individually. You may want to find a place that allows you to put them together online, and make it much easier on yourself than going into some sort of printing shop and having to sit there waiting for service. I would too.

vistprint.com allows you to go online and create cards in minutes. After a few days you will receive them all and they are ready to go. No fuss, and they have a ton of designs to work with. If you traditionally send out a lot of Christmas postcards this is definitely a good place to check out. You can get access to create yourself instead of watching someone else show you a bunch of designs and then you have to pick one. Instead you get to go through them all on your own and pick yourself. Then get them delivered in just a few days.

Dog Bounty Hunter Gets Pulled

My last post was about how he apologized for his racist comments a few days ago, but apparently A&E was not satisfied. After seeing the leaked video of his comments, they have pulled his show entirely. It looked like the show was going to be a nice marriage for the network and Dog, but I guess you can forget about sending any wedding flowers for now.

"In evaluating the circumstances of the last few days, A&E has decided to take `Dog The Bounty Hunter' off the network's schedule for the foreseeable future," the network said in a statement Friday. "We hope that Mr. Chapman continues the healing process that he has begun."

Dog Bounty Hunter was one of the networks top rated shows, so they haven't actually "canceled" the show at this point.

"I guess because of whatever level of anger he had of his father, he felt the need to express it in that manner," attorney Brook Hart told The Associated Press.

Chapman has said he was "disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character. However, I should have never used that term." He also said he was ashamed of himself and pledged to make amends.

Dog Bounty Hunter 'Sorry' for Racist Rant w/ Audio

Get your BS catching aprons on. Another "celeb" who went off the wall and decided to throw a bunch of racial crap around is going to make a fake apology to everyone. The tirade can be heard at TMZ.com here
(This audio in the link contains racial slurs featuring the "N" word. You have been warned).

After the tirade, "Dog" has decided to take it all back and apologize. How cute.

"We take this matter very seriously," A&E spokesman Michael Feeney said in a statement Thursday. "Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded, we will take appropriate action."

"There's no problem with how the tape was obtained and Dog has acknowledged its authenticity, and admitted to using the racist language," said David Perel, the Enquirer's editor-in-chief.

"I did not mean to add yet another slap in the face to an entire race of people who have brought so many gifts to this world," he said. "I am ashamed of myself and I pledge to do whatever I can to repair this damage I have caused."

Chapman said, "My sincerest, heartfelt apologies go out to every person I have offended for my regrettable use of very inappropriate language. I am deeply disappointed in myself for speaking out of anger to my son and using such a hateful term in a private phone conversation."

Chapman said the clip was completely taken out of context.

"I was disappointed in his choice of a friend, not due to her race, but her character," he said. "However, I should have never used that term."

Chapman said he is meeting with his spiritual adviser, Rev. Tim Storey, who is black, and hopes to meet with other black leaders, "so they can see who I really am and teach me the right thing to do to make things right, again."

"I know that all of my fans are deeply disappointed in me, as well, as I have tried to be a model for doing the right thing," he said. "I did not do the right thing this time, and hope you will forgive me."

Sure, pal. Whatever.

Britney Spears Halloween Costume

Looking for a reason to vomit? Well you just found it. Britney Spears with some see-through Halloween attire. People in the area were heard to be saying they were selling their
real estate before the prices plummeted.

I can't imagine you want to see more, but I guess there are those train wreck types that have to look at everything so bad they can't turn away. IF you are one of those you can find a whole gallery of her photos from her "coming out" party las night here at AOL.

Yoda gets his own stamp

Kind of silly, but I watched the first Star Wars (Episode IV it is now called) the other day and realized how stupid it was now that I'm older. Lucas has the cheesiest dialog of any movie I've ever seen. Guess Luke's parents didn't need to get any
life insurance for kids back then because they survived. We all knew that anyways since this movie came out about 90 years before the episodes that preceded it.

Spears Regains Visitation Rights

Yeah i know. I have spent the last month focusing almost entirely on Britney, but she's crazy and in the news constantly. Either by trying to find the press herself, or doing something stupid like running over a reporter. It seems she may have found herself a bit of natural progesterone and calmed down lately because she got visitation with her kids back after losing it, again.

Britney Spears has regained temporary visitation rights of her sons, her attorney said Sunday.

"Yes, she has visitation with the children," her lawyer, Anne Kiley, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press without elaborating. read more

Britney Runs over 'Paparazzo's' Foot

Hours after losing visitation rights with her two young sons, the struggling pop star apparently ran over the foot of a photographer for celebrity Web site TMZ.com. Spears was driving away from a Beverly Hills medical building, her car surrounded by photographers, when the incident occurred about 5 p.m. Thursday. Sounds like that reporter should be on a diet patch so they can move faster.

"Things happen at certain times and she was just a little impatient," said the man, whose name wasn't released. "She got a little impatient for whatever reason. I say let bygones be bygones."

Gotta respect the guy for not making a big deal out of it in this sue happy world we live in I guess. At least for now...

Britney Spears Turns Herself In

Not to a
commercial collection agency, which she will probably be looking at in the future the way she is going, but to the police. On Monday night, Spears reported to a Los Angeles police station to face charges of hit and run and driving without a valid license, police said.

Officer Mike Lopez said Spears turned herself in around 9 p.m. and left about 45 minutes later. Spears was fingerprinted and photographed, he said.

"She was fine, cooperative," Lopez said. "She did her business and came out."

"They were nice," she said of police. She told the station she was wearing the sunglasses because she had pinkeye.

The charges stem from an Aug. 6 wreck during which paparazzi filmed Spears steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. The video showed her walking away after assessing the damage to her own car.

Who is your favorite band?

I'm pretty much a rocker type music listener, and more precisely I like classic rock and alternative, but I have a lot of musical interests. It is tough for me to pick one band that I like the most, but I would have to say it is The Doors currently.

The other reason I bring this up is because I am thinking of picking up some Van Halen tickets soon because a friend of mine is a huge fan and they put on one hell of a show. Definitely one of the better groups that has ever been formed. I tend to like the David Lee Roth Van Halen, but my buddy is more of a fan of the Sammy Hagar era.

Silver Bells

Is it almost time for Christmas shopping to begin? Well for many it probably is, but why would I talk about silver at this time of year? The demand for silver has been exceeding production every for for the past seventeen years and it continues to do so. The increased demand makes the investment in silver one that should be a good one. Basic supply and demand economics states that when people want more of something than there is of it, the value will rise. Silver is in this situation right now.

Through Monex Deposit Company you can purchase silver or other precious metals for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository. For over 30 years, the Monex companies have been America’s silver and precious metals investment leader.

Jay Leno regretting retirement announcement?

Recently it was said that Leno was going retire and that NBS is going to hand over the reigns to his late night show to Conan O'Brien. Leno I guess is upset that Conan will be given the show. I'd rather watch a show selling diamond rings than to watch Leno, but apparently he is the most popular late night show there is. A recent poll on AOL says that both Leno and Letterman are more popular than Conan. I find this utterly ridiculous. There is no way that anyone in the 18-40 market would rather watch these 2 has beens over Conan. This is what NBC was betting on when they decided to try and keep Conan here when Leno retires in 2009. Leno agreed to Conan replacing him so that NBC could keep him at the network.

Britney gets kid 1 night a week

I don't think we'll be hearing any Britney birth announcements anytime soon. I wonder if they would just take the kid right out of the delivery room and put them into foster care.

L.A. County Court Commissioner Scott Gordon partially accepted her lawyer's plea to give Spears monitored overnight visitation. Spears, who was in court, was sworn in as the afternoon hearing began. She testified, but we don't know what she said.

Spears left the courtroom visibly upset. The overnight visits will be monitored. The parties have not reached an agreement on choosing a different monitor than the one who is already in place. more

Madonna Nears New $120 Million Deal

Looks like Madonna will have plenty of money for the kid's animal print bedding now. I know she was really struggling to make ends meet. So glad she was able to get herself at least some money to feed her family.

Pop star Madonna is close to leaving her long-time Warner Bros. Records label for a wide-ranging $120 million deal with concert promotion firm Live Nation Inc., a source familiar with the talks said Wednesday.

The story was first reported on the Wall Street Journal's Web site, which said Madonna would receive a mix of cash and stock in exchange for allowing Live Nation to distribute three studio albums, promote concert tours, sell merchandise and license her name. full story

Imus is back

After getting canned for calling the Rutgers female basketball team "nappy-headed hos", Imus has been with out work for some time. No more. His mailboxes have been full of offers apparently and he is ready to get back on the airwaves on December 1st.

WABC has hired Imus for the morning spot, currently occupied by Curtis Sliwa and Ron Kuby.Imus, recently settled a wrongful-termination lawsuit with his former employers for a reported $20 million.

When asked about Imus' new show, Rutgers women's coach Vivian Stringer said, "He has every right to go back on the air."

'Ebony and Ivory' Named Worst Duet Ever

Yeah...this song is kind of silly. Pretty surprising that it was named the worst duet ever though. This song wasn't exactly unpopular and there ahve been some really bad duets in the past. Someone probably was out there singing about kitchen faucets, or even some sort of Island in the Sea. That song is probably in the same mold as this one was and that isn't mentioned as bad, but one of the best!

In a BBC rankings deal these were the other worst duets:

Runner-Up: 'You're the One That I Want'
Arthur Mullard and Hilda Baker

Other Hideous Duets:
3. 'Dancing in the Street' -- Mick Jagger and David Bowie
4. 'Little Drummer Boy' -- Bing Crosby and David Bowie
5. 'Save Your Love' -- Rene and Renata
6. 'The Girl Is Mine' -- Paul McCartney a Michael Jackson

Some of the Best were:

1. 'Foggy Dew'--Sinead O'Connor and The Chieftains
2.'Fairytale of New York'--Kirsty MacColl and The Pogues
3. 'Under Pressure' -- Queen and David Bowie
4. 'Where the Wild Roses Grow' -- Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue
5. 'Walk This Way' -- Run DMC and Aerosmith
6. 'Islands in the Stream' -- Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton

Check out this Psychic Medium

This guy named Tana Hoy is a Psychic Medium that runs this great site where he does sort of a "Man on the Street" thing with videos. He goes out to the streets and does some future readings with random people and shows it on his site. It is all very interesting to see. He has some audio there as well that you can listen to, and he even has an online Webinar you can register for! What is that? Well it is like taking online classes to learn how to do various Psychic Medium disciplines.

Take some time to browse around the site, and look over his predictions that he has hit on as well. There is plenty to do there and it is a fun time.

Owen Wilson Returns to Public Eye

After spending a few months laying in some modern platform beds after his suicide attempt, Wilson has finally gotten back in front of the camera.

Owen Wilson returned to the public eye Thursday night, making an appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Darjeeling Limited.”

Sporting a shaggy blond beard and a dark jacket, Wilson was joined by fellow cast mates Adrien Brody, Anjelica Huston, Jason Schwartzman and filmmaker Wes Anderson. It was among Wilson’s first public appearances since a suicide attempt in late August.

Casual Dining Room Furniture

Recently I was looking over a site that specializes in Dining Room Furniture The site has a ton of casual dining furniture as well as some very nice Formal Dining Room Furniture. The site is nice looking and simple to navigate around so you can see all the great Dining Furniture they have to offer. I would recommend taking a look at their supply if you are indeed looking to upgrade your dining room look.

'24' Star Sutherland Busted for DUI

Another celebrity who is probably on their way to drug rehab. Such a great example the entertainment community sets for our youth.

Kiefer Sutherland, who stars on the hit TV thriller "24" as a secret agent with nerves of steel, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving on Tuesday, hours before he was due to be honored by a Canadian actors' union.

The arrest comes three years after the Canadian performer, 40, the son of actor Donald Sutherland, pleaded no contest to a charge of driving under the influence and was ordered into a treatment program for alcohol abuse. more...

Birkhead sued for defamation by ex-lawyer

Larry Birkhead’s ex-lawyer has filed a lawsuit claiming Birkhead attempted to damage her reputation by making defamatory remarks.

Awesome. Sue, sue, and more sue. Not a better business opportunity in America these days I reckon.

Debra Opri’s lawsuit, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, accuses Birkhead of falsely claiming in a CNN interview with Larry King that she was a source for the book “Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death.” more

Silverman calls Spears VMA joke ‘innocuous’

What the hell is "innocuous"? Really I doubt she even knows. After many nights pulled up in a bar stools I'm sure she has quite a few less brain cells than the average person.

Sarah Silverman still is responding to the negative reaction to her Britney Spears jokes at the MTV Video Music Awards.

“The joke that everyone was upset about — me calling the kids ‘adorable mistakes’ — was the most innocuous joke,” the 36-year-old comedian tells Us Weekly magazine in the issue that comes out Friday. “It never occurred to me that would be deemed hurtful or over the line.” more

Britney Spears was charged Friday with misdemeanor counts of hit and run and driving without a valid license after she allegedly smashed her car into another in a parking lot in August, prosecutors said.

If convicted, the singer could face up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine for each count, said Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the city attorney’s office.

Messages left with Spears’ attorneys were not immediately returned from their office desks.

The accident occurred Aug. 6, Velasquez said.

Spears, 25, was filmed by paparazzi that day steering her car into another vehicle as she tried to turn into a spot in a Studio City parking lot. After assessing the damage to her own car only, she was shown on paparazzi video walking away. full story

George Clooney injured in motorcycle accident

George Clooney suffered a broken rib in New Jersey on Friday when a car collided with the motorcycle he was riding, the actor’s spokesman said.

The 46-year-old actor was treated at Palisades Medical Center in Palisades, N.J. and released, spokesman Stan Rosenfield said in a statement.

Clooney’s passenger, Sarah Larson, suffered a broken foot.

Clooney was not reported to be intoxicated. Just a random accident, kind of like if the NCAA will actually put in some sort of NCAA Tournament or playoff system for college football.

Shakira rests hips to study at UCLA

Taking some time out of the lights to get a bit of an education is admirable I guess.

Shakira may get high grades in singing and swiveling her hips, but what about ancient Western history?

For the past month, the Colombian pop star has been taking a class at the University of California, Los Angeles, called "Introduction to Western Civilization: Ancient Civilizations from Prehistory to Circa A.D. 843."

"She went when she finished her tour, for the summer," Shakira's manager Fifi Kurzman told The Associated Press. more

Rosie should take own advice and just go away

Time for Rosie to just get the heck out and go find herself some Las Vegas luxury homes and leave everyone alone according to Craig Bergman.

It couldn’t last forever. Just weeks after being booted from “The View,” Rosie O'Donnell is back in the entertainment headlines as word leaks out that her upcoming memoir takes some shots at Barbara Walters. Undoubtedly it also takes shots at the many others who she feels have done her wrong.

No big shock. Rosie never goes away quietly these days. She doesn't just burn bridges, she chops down the charred timbers and turns them into mulch, just so there's no chance at ever repairing the damage. more

J.Lo's ex ordered to pay her $545,000

A judge Wednesday approved a $545,000 arbitration award to Jennifer Lopez in a lawsuit against her first husband, Ojani Noa, over his plans to publish a tell-all book.

This guy needs to put together some business packages like selling personalized cups or something. Since he hasn't actually published the book this is going to cost the guy dearly.

He doesn't sound too bright nayways:

Noa, who had been representing himself, asked Wednesday for another 30 days to find a lawyer.

When Solner denied his request, Noa objected.

“I think it’s unfair, to be honest, your honor,” Noa said.

“I’m sure you do,” Solner replied.

Lopez’s attorney, Paul N. Sorrell, said a previous judge gave Noa chances to get a lawyer and he never did.

Halle Berry expecting her first baby

Halle Berry is pregnant with boyfriend Gabriel Aubry’s baby, the 41-year-old actress confirmed to “Access Hollywood’s” Nancy O’Dell in an e-mail on Tuesday.

“Yes, I am three months pregnant! Gabriel and I are beyond excited, and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!” she wrote to Nancy. "... You heard it from ME first!”

According to In Touch Weekly, Berry is due on Valentine's Day where she may have gotten some outdoor lighting. The magazine also reports that Berry will be carefully monitored during the pregnancy, not only because of her age but also because she is a diabetic. She reportedly is being treated by a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. more

Big bucks for celeb appearances

I just posted a story about how places like Caesars Palace were giving celebs the incentive to pay to play at various casinos. Totally forgot that I had just watched Entourage's last 4 episodes of Season 3 yesterday and they in fact went to Vegas in one of them and this very situation came about. Mr. Chase got set up with an appearance fee of $100K by his boy turtle and they went in and totally blew the dough at first. Pretty coincidental that I just saw that episode last night and then I saw that article today.

Comedy club not happy with Andy Dick

Good old Andy Dick. This guy always looks like he is out of his mind on drugs, which is either really great acting, or he just can't hide it. Comedian’s behavior in Ohio included groping patrons, urinating on floor. Acting? I doubt it. After such antics he should be looking for a hide away with some Arizona luxury real estate.

David Stroupe said it was one of the worst experiences with a performer in the history of the Funny Bone Comedy Club.

He was referring to Andy Dick, a former co-star on the 1990s sitcom “NewsRadio,” who appeared at the Funny Bone last weekend.

Stroupe, the club’s managing partner, said the 41-year-old actor-comedian made inappropriate comments while on stage, groped patrons, took women into the men’s room and urinated on the floor and on at least one person. full story

Paid to play: Stars add buzz to Vegas clubs

Three years ago, as Paris Hilton was about to turn 24, the celebutante got a sense of her worth to the nightclub industry in Las Vegas. Unlike Britney she actually wore her padded panty to the public event.

She had celebrated her previous three birthdays at Light, the Bellagio hotel-casino nightclub run by the Light Group. But for her 24th, another company swooped in with an offer that trumped the standard private jet to and from L.A., a free stay at a luxury suite, a sumptuous dinner and, of course, free booze.

The hotel heiress would get a big paycheck — Light was told $200,000 — just to party, but it had to be at PURE, a rival nightclub at Caesars Palace run by the PURE Management Group. read more

Lohan reaches plea deal, gets one day in jail

Damn this girl is nasty lookin'. What was ever the appeal? Bah...who cares. Give her a Swiss Army knife and let her go to town on herself.

Lindsay Lohan reached a plea deal Thursday on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges that calls for her to spend one day in jail, serve 10 days of community service and complete a drug treatment program. read more..

Richie released from jail after 82 minutes

Nicole Richie just got rewarded by our country of overcrowded jails. Sentenced to 90 hours, she was released after just 82 minutes. This isn't uncommon at all and really the only reason they even made her sit there that long was because they have to wait for all the other people who got sentenced that day before her to get released for their misdemeanors. Happens everyday and this isn't even a story although many will gasp at the slight of time she received. Cold hard truth is that "real" criminals stay in jail and those with misdemeanors walk because there are so many other whackos already in the system. Nicole should be at home resting in here outdoor kitchen as she watches her servants cook for her.

Celebrity Baby Names

From Pax to Dezi, Hollywood names their kids things that would make your portable oxygen concentrator work overtime. Nobody can just have a normal name anymore so I guess they have to list all the whacked out celebrity baby names they can find in a recent article at MSNBC.com. Coco, Apple, Sawyer, Emu, whatever. Name your kid after the stuff on the bottom of your shoe as you roll out of a 4 day bender and I'm sure someone will think it rocks. Bad enough your parents are drunken idiots. You just have to remind everyone every time someone says their kid's name too apparently.

Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter to turn 1

Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn, will celebrate her first birthday next month at a party in Louisville.

The party will be held at the home of Tricia Barnstable Brown, who hosts an annual Kentucky Derby-eve party packed with celebrities. Smith and Dannielynn’s father, Larry Birkhead, met at the 2003 party.

Not sure anyone has enough IBM memory to keep all the photos the press is going to have of this party. Read more

Bodyguard: Blame Lindsay Lohan's parents

Here we go. It is time to start making excuses for how adults act by blaming their parent. The model rocket Lindsay Lohan is getting some kind words from her bodyguard saying that her problems are directly related to her parents. Do you believe? To some extent this is usually the case, but there comes a time when people have to be responsible for their own actuons. This story falls on deaf ears.

If Lindsay Lohan’s life is a train wreck, she’s got no one to blame but her parents. So says LiLo’s former bodyguard Tony Almeida in the latest issue of In Touch.

“Lindsay was a very sweet and talented kid, but she didn’t stand a chance against her parents and the Hollywood system,” he told the magazine. more

It’s a baby boy for Baby Spice

Forgot there were actually other Spice Girls around besides Spice Becham, who says she wants to keep quiet and be like a normal American. Of course she has a show on TV, they pose in their underwear, etc., but hey, I do that all the time too. Just normal things in the garden of life. Anyways, the blonde Spice had a kid. Whoopididoo! At least it wasn't Scary Spice. Kid would have looked like a jackal I presume.

t’s a baby boy for “Baby Spice” Emma Bunton.

The 31-year-old Spice Girls singer gave birth to a son, Beau, at London’s Portland Hospital on Friday, a spokesman said.

He is the first child for Bunton and boyfriend Jade Jones. more

Britney Spears gets naked for a pool party

Damn everyone has to love Britney. A total auto wreck that you can't turn away from. Rehab, not talent, going crazy, photo-shoot fiascoes, you name it. This girl will be asking for a cash advance pretty soon as she is nothing more than a tabloid train wreck.

It may be a while before Britney’s much-anticipated comeback album drops, but the dysfunctional pop princess isn’t letting that keep her out of the headlines.

The upcoming edition of US Weekly covers her latest uncovered escapades. A late-night pool party at Casa de la Spears turned into a tipsy game of Truth or Dare, or so says Matt Encinias, a 21-year-old extra from the set of the pop tart’s upcoming video.

“Britney was the first one to undress, and then everyone else followed,” he disclosed to US. “I was dared to get naked and get out of the pool and walk as though I was on a catwalk in a fashion show.” more

Poll: Media to blame for celeb scandal coverage

Funny poll. I'm sure everyone that took the poll was taking it on a site that covers celebrity scandals. Celebrities are as messed up as anyone, and really if people didn't want to read about it so much it wouldn't be covered so much. Does this show people really want less coverage, or that they just like to complain alot. I'm guessing the latter. Take a Kissimmee vacation and get over yourselves.

Celebrities behaving badly? If you don’t care, you have company.

The vast majority of Americans believe there is too much news coverage of celebrity scandals, and most blame the media for the attention paid to the stars’ trials and tribulations, a new survey has found. more

Gwen Stefani to cover up for Malaysia concert

Nothing better than finding the most hypocritical things on Earth. Can't show any skin because she is a woman, but apparently that treatment means nothing as she is willing to sing for the crowd that has no respect for her. Fascinating world we live in. Take the money and run I guess. Wear your robes and veils and cover them with fishing tackle for all I care.

Gwen Stefani will not wear revealing costumes during her Aug. 21 concert after Muslim students protested her sexy outfits and steamy performances.

Show organizer Maxis Communications Bhd. said the 37-year-old singer will follow the local code of ethics for foreign artists, which bans the unnecessary baring of skin.

“Gwen Stefani has confirmed that her concert will not feature any revealing costumes. She will abide by the Malaysian authorities’ guidelines to ensure that her show will not be offensive to local sensitivities,” the company said Thursday in a statement to The Associated Press. more

Kevin and Britney are divorced

MAn...you'd think Federline would have gotten this taken care of long ago. It's not like Britney has anything going for her. Now that this is done they should probably put the kids in a real home instead of in the homes of these crack heads. Of course we know that will never happen, but you'd like to think so. Hopefully Britney doesn't snort up all her money and has a nanny who treats the kids better than some modern desks, or HDTV.

2 charged in Tom Cruise extortion case

Apparently a couple of thieves were lookign to extort $1 Million dollards from the Scientologist Tom Cruise. Oh the irony, eh? Scientology seems to have a rap for trying to extort cash from their members as well. I had a long article about it on my flash drive, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Two men were charged with plotting to extort more than $1 million from Tom Cruise for the actor’s stolen wedding photographs, federal authorities announced Friday.

David Hans Schmidt, known for brokering deals involving compromising celebrity photos and videos, was charged with sending communications for purposes of extortion, according to a criminal complaint. A real entrepreneur this guy is.

Marc Lewis Gittleman, helped him recover photos from a computer disk, and is being charged with conspiracy to commit extortion, the complaint said.

Nicole Richie headed to jail in DUI case

4 days. That isn't an uncommon sentence, but I was surprised it wasn't a suspended sentence considering most jails are overcrowded. I guess the market research these guys are doing says that they will gain some extra street cred to get a DUI. TAKE A CAB! YOU ARE RICH!

Nicole Richie pleaded guilty Friday to driving under the influence of drugs and was sentenced to about four days in jail and fined by a court commissioner who said she was lucky nobody was killed when she drove the wrong way on a freeway.

“You are not to drive with any measurable amount of alcohol or drugs in your system,” Lubell told her. “You are not to drive without a driver’s license.” read more...

911 call in Lindsay Lohan arrest is released

Just the thing everyone wants to hear. A celeb 911 call. Authorities have released an audio copy of the 911 call made by the mother of Lindsay Lohan’s former personal assistant in the minutes before Lohan’s arrest. As for me, I'm just getting done with a work out and using some hydroxycut to trim the pounds away.

The woman contacted a Santa Monica police dispatcher shortly after 1:30 a.m. Tuesday while driving on Wilshire Boulevard. She apparently didn’t realize the actress was in the white GMC following her.

“We were just about to park our car. We are turning home and out of nowhere a huge white GMC came up,” the woman said to the dispatcher.

“We’re being followed by a GMC ... the gentleman jumped out of the car,” she said a few seconds later. “Oh my God, sir, they’re following us. We need help.” more

Lohan turns herself in

Yay! good for her. Whatever. Just another celebrity that drives drunk. This one actually hit and ran. Took this long to find her apparently as no one knew where she was except reporters I'd imagine. Kind of like Osama Bin Laden. Not like she will be getting any jail time or anything so what sort of lesson is she really going to learn? None, but she will tell you not to drink and drive soon I'm sure. I'd rather see her in prison making Bush furniture to be honest with you.

Jon Bon Jovi is an IDIOT

OK...so this guy actually is trying to get a company to change the name of their product because he says that it is too close to his famous name. NEwsflash...Jon BOn Jovi is a D-Lister now. Nobody is stealing anything from this guy.

Anyways, I guess instead of looking into Funeral Insurance, or something lately, Bon Jovi is out trying to change the name of an energy drink. The drink called Mijovi, is just too close to Jon Boy's name apparently and he is trying to get it changed. The creaor the drink says he named it after his girlfriend, Jovita, and not the idiot rock "star". Besides complaining just about the name, Jonny is saying that "It's My Jovi", the slogan apparently is just like his silly little song "It's My Life" and that they are rtipping him off. Thanks for the endorsement of the Mijovi Jon Boy. You have no case.

Brigitte Nielsen checks herself into rehab

DO celebrities actually do anything besides get loaded? I have to wonder because when i look at the news that is out day after day it is always about a celeb who is either getting busted for a DUI (Paris, RIchie, etc.), or checking into rehab like Britney Spears. These people need a better release for their stress. Pull out the Callaway golf clubs and hit the links or something.

Brigitte Nielsen has checked into rehab for treatment of an undisclosed condition, her manager confirmed Thursday.

“All I know is it’s something she did on her own free will and we’re proud of her and wish her very well,” her manager, Steven Tempone, told The Associated Press. He declined to say what the actress was being treated for or where she was staying. He said he didn’t know when she checked in. more...

Dave Chappelle hospitalized for exhaustion

Chappelle walked away from a $50 million deal to continue his Comedy Central show in May 2005 and briefly took a respite in South Africa. He has said reports that he checked into a mental health center in that country are false. AT any rate the guy is overwhelmed by the spotlight and could use a vacation home Orlando and relax.

Dave Chappelle was hospitalized over the weekend for exhaustion, his publicist said Tuesday. They said that he had been doing a lot of traveling and that he is "fine".

Plea deal possible for Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie will have to decide Wednesday whether to accept a plea deal offered by prosecutors in her driving-under-the-influence case, according to a court spokesman.

Good buddies Richie, and Paris Hilton are a menace to society (great movie btw.). They are both a killer on the road (Door's tune, guess which). So enough of that nonsense. I guess this story is pretty lame, but I have to post everything on here about the Misdemeanor Twins I see.

Paris Hilton Says Not to Drink and Drive

Amazing advice. The face of all things moral and good Ms. Paris Hilton, is now telling fans not to drink and drive. For someone with her money to even drink and drive is beyons reasoning really. Now she tells her "fans" not to drink and drive while she is out and about in her crotchless panty whoring herself out to the world?

“Happy 4th of July everyone, and remember to be responsible and have a designated driver!” the heiress writes in a blog entry on her MySpace Web page Tuesday.

The return (again) of Pee-wee Herman

We all grew up watching Pee Wee's Playhouse. In fact you can still watch it on some stations I believe. The show was pretty remarkable really in what kinds of things they would say on it. As a kid you didn't really pick up on most of the sexual overtones, but I'm sure if you watched it now you would see some of the crazy things that the characters say.

Paul Reubens is kind of a cult actor in which he just appears out of no where in many movies and television shows. Keeping track of his many paychecks must require some extensive budgeting software for his accountants. HE never really was a main character in most appearances, but has played some memorable roles. One that comes to mind immediately was his role in the movie Blow that starred Jonny Depp. HE played a homosexual stylist that just so happened to have the inside track to distributing drugs to everyone that was willing in California back before there really was a drug war. Solid acting in that role to be sure.

Now it seems he has made another come back and you can read about it in this recent article at MSNBC.com.

Hasselhoff demands apology for drunk story

Good old Hoff. The story said that Hasselhoff was bumping into tables, falling down, and demanding drinks from strangers at Les Deux nightclub in Hollywood. The Hoffmeister just wants them to clear it up and apologize. Damage done, dude. Why don't you check into a nice Bed & Breakfast and contemplate where you are going. This isn't the first drunk off your ass story that has been out there in the last couple months. I think at this point it is safe to assume that you have some issues going on.

Paris Hilton prosecutor comes under fire

You know a lawyer is lying when his lips are moving. At least that is what they say. In this case I guess it is pretty embarrassing for this guy who basically is trying to make a name for himself by chastising the early release of celeb Paris Hilton. Pretty odd that his wife could go 9 YEARS with a warrant out for her and never see a courtroom until this week. Must be some pretty great EMI Shielding she had going on to keep her out of the grasp of the law. Disturbing those computers so nobody knew she was under fire.

The city prosecutor who condemned Paris Hilton’s early release from jail as celebrity favoritism is now under fire for a case of special treatment closer to home — acknowledging his wife was wanted for arrest for nine years.

The disclosure, first reported by the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday, is the latest in a mushrooming scandal that has engulfed City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, who ran for California attorney general last year but lost. full story

Travolta disapproves of anti-depressants

John Travolta says his thinking is in line with fellow Scientologist Tom Cruise, who has publicly defended the religion’s stance against psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry.

Ok...I got to Scientologist and just disregarded what he had to say. Apparently he is saying that the school shootings are the result of on prescription drugs. What next? Are real estate prices caused by men who live in 2 foot boxes and pop out when they song gets to "Pop Goes the Weasel"? Ok...I' have no idea what he said. I didn't read the article, but when someone says they believe in the crap that is Scientology I just have to post about what a bunch of idiots they are.

Nicole Richie drunken driving trial delayed

lol...didn't even know she had been arrested for drunk driving. Must be the cool thing to do these days with celebs. Maybe I should start designing auto accessories for the drunk driver. Stickers that say such things as: "IF you have no talent, there is always drinking and driving to make the news.". Blah...that sucks, but this one is kind of silly. She must be trying to keep up with Paris. Getting jealous of all the attention or something.

Inmates angry about Paris’ special treatment

LOL...really? No way. Of course Paris got special treatment in the clink while she was there in the form of her parents getting special visitation rights while inside. Sitting at the folding tables of the visitation rooms she was unlike other convicts in that she didn't have to wait to see her relatives, unlike the rest of the inmates.

Alvina Floyd waited more than four hours to visit her fiance. It normally takes two, and Floyd, 20, blamed the Hiltons for the delay.

“I have to be at work later,” she said. “I can’t wait here all day.”

Gotta love the way a celeb can piss people off...lol

After her visit, Kathy Hilton said her daughter wants “just to do her time and get on.” She added her daughter has not had much sleep.

PayPerPost Secures $7 Million

This recent press release discusses a new $7 Million procurement of cash for PayPerPost to continue leading the way in the paid blogging arena. Allowing marketers to advertise on blogs PPP has become the biggest network of bloggers in the marketplace and gives advertisers the best chance to get the word out on their products and services.

I've been posting for PPP since December and couldn't ask for a better way to earn money online. The amount of advertisers and bloggers there is by far the biggest on the web. Advertisers are able to gain long-term advertising via search engines, blogs, and word of mouth like no other advertising avenue available. They are able to reach millions of readers and internet users at a fraction of the cost that traditional advertising offers.

Draper Fisher Jurvetson leads round and joins Board of Directors

ORLANDO, FL – (June 12, 2007) – PayPerPost, the leading marketplace for advertisers to reach bloggers and other consumer content creators, today announced it has completed a $7 million second round investment led by Draper Fisher Jurvetson, an investor in the company's Series A and one of the world’s leading high-technology venture capital firms. The financing brings the total amount of capital raised by PayPerPost to over $10 million, giving the company considerable resources for further development as the industry’s leading Consumer Generated Advertising marketplace. Additional participants in the round include existing investors Inflexion Partners and Village Ventures as well as new investor DFJ Gotham. With this investment, DFJ Managing Director Josh Stein also joins PayPerPost’s Board of Directors.

“PayPerPost created this exciting new advertising space and has established itself as the industry leader,” said Ted Murphy, chief executive officer of PayPerPost. “Although we’ve only used a portion of our first round capital, this added support from investors unlocks significant growth potential. Our content creator and advertiser ROI metrics clearly demonstrate the upside for PayPerPost’s model. We intend to use this capital to build the infrastructure, visibility and professional expertise necessary to reach and retain a greater network of advertisers and content creators than ever before.”

Since its founding in June of 2006, PayPerPost has signed more than 6,500 advertisers to its groundbreaking service, which has enabled Consumer Content Creators to be compensated for their efforts discussing specific companies, products or services via blogs, videos or other media. The content creators are required to disclose relationships with advertisers on their blog, providing transparency for the end reader. Over 125,000 Internet postings, most in the form of blogs, have already earned money for their creators through PayPerPost’s innovative marketplace. PayPerPost recently released PayPerPost Direct, a disruptive new service that allows advertisers to contract and negotiate directly with individual bloggers they identify through a safe, managed system.

“PayPerPost has laid a strong foundation for the future,” noted Tim Draper, founder and managing director of Draper Fisher Jurvetson. “It continues to attract a critical mass of participants from both the advertising and blogging communities. Analogous to Overture’s sponsored search model, we believe PayPerPost’s business model holds disruptive potential and will enable the company to thrive in the evolving paid-content arena.”

To mark the $7 million dollar funding, PayPerPost has launched a new website detailing the company’s service offering at http://www.payperpost.com. Bloggers and advertisers can easily sign up at the site and begin leveraging the self service marketplace.

Paris Hilton says she will no longer ‘act dumb’

Is this possible? Of course not. She is talking out of her ass as usual. If she were to bust out with something like the stats behind California mortgage refinance I might have to change my mind, but really there is nothing here to believe. Talk is cheap.

Imprisoned hotel heiress Paris Hilton has said she believes God has given her a new chance and she plans to stop acting dumb and put her influence to good use.

Hilton called television journalist Barbara Walters on Sunday from the medical wing of a Los Angeles jail, where she is being held for violating probation in a drunken-driving case, and Walters recounted the conversation on her ABC television show “The View” on Monday. read more..

Ghosts, demons, and all things supernatural

Do you believe in the supernatural? Ghosts, demons, shadow people, etc? I always find myself drawn to such entities in theory, but only had a couple experiences dealing with them. Both times I just blew it off as a trick of my eyes.

One experience I had was with what I thought was a ghost. Not in a house, or a scary old mental asylum, but right outside, in a residential neighborhood. My buddy, our girlfriends, and myself were driving around bored and all of a sudden I saw the oddest thing. Sitting at a stop sign at a four-way stop intersection I saw a woman standing in a very small field directly in front of us. She looked like she was screaming, but I heard no sound. At first I was wondering what the heck she was doing there. I asked the others about it, but when I turned back to look she was gone. Instantly. I then asked if any of them saw here, and only my buddy said he did. We kind of just stopped talking for a while and never mentioned it again. To this day I wonder about it and we never really talked about it. I'm still very skeptical about the supernatural and shows like the Ghost Hunters. That experience really didn't convince of their existence.

On the same note the 1408 Movie is about a guy (John Cusak), who is skeptical about all this like I am. Also, starring Samuel L. Jackson, the 1408 Movie is set in a creepy hotel. The room 1408 has been said to not relinquish any survivors and no one has ever spent an hour in the room and come out alive. Cusak, wants to see for himself and decided to spend a night in the room. What happens may change the way he thinks forever.

Britney Spears Ugly Butt

Britney Spears vacationing in Puerto Vallarta this weekend showed off a bit for cameras. Unfortunately for us, she looks worse than ever. Just a few weeks after getting out of rehab when she had a complete meltdown, Britney looks to be in rare form with a playful smile in the photos. I wonder if she thinks it is funny that I nearly lost my dinner when seeing this photo.

Yeah, I know I'm mean, and frankly I don't care. Take pictures of hot celebs buying Las Vegas Real Estate and you will make me much happier. These non-air brushed photos really aren't going to get Britney any new fans that live in a house with out wheels.

Online Shopping Coupons

There is nothing better about online shopping than the array of coupon codes you can find to get huge discounts on products and services. Ever since Amazon came along and friends have directed me to online coupon sites I've never really had to pay full price for an online purchase. The more available coupons there are on the site the better. I prefer to shop online so anytime I need something I go to Coupon Chief first to see if there is a discount available for whatever it is I want to buy. Usually there is since they have over 1,000 stores with deals, codes, and coupons.

I buy a lot of stuff from Dell from time to time and I always have to look and see if there are Dell coupons when I do so. They tend to have quite a few with very good discounts on the things I want to buy. No sense paying full price when it only takes a few clicks to save hundreds of dollars on products and services is there?

This list and the links of information in it give you a great way to understand the concept and how to mass subscribe to blog feeds. This blog was added by Internet Serious Business.

***Start Copying Here***

1. Create a post and link back to the person that put you on the list in the first paragraph with a brief thank you and description of why people want to use the campaign. DO NOT copy their paragraph. Write your own unique one and link to their site.

2. Copy the ENTIRE list of Feeds and create an OPML File to import into your feed readers so that you can subscribe to all of the blogs on the list. You will want to read my post entitled Mass RSS Feed Subscribing with an OPML so you understand how to do it. (You will want to copy this link over to your post so those you add know how to do this too.)

3. Copy the ENTIRE list of Feeds AND blogs and put them into your post like they are here. Move the "My Adds" from the blog that added you into the "Originals" lists for each. This list is unique because I want you to be able to copy the feeds with out having to delete the blogs before making the OPML file so I separated the two links into 2 lists.

4. Add any blogs you want to the list with whatever keywords you want. Then get their RSS Feed and add those to the list of Feeds in your "My Adds" section.

5. Publish your post.

6. Comment on the post that originated the list here so that new additions can be subscribed to as well by the lists before yours.

Trump vs. Rosie

Sad to see her go. I just laugh at the way Donald Trump talks about her in interviews. The guy is so personal it is hilarious.

"I know Rosie real well. Unfortunately, she came to my wedding. She ate a lot of cake..." LOL

This guy is really playing this up and it is fantastic. I really think he and Rosie have a scam going, but it is one of the better ones in a while. MAy need to upgrade my Dell Memory keep up with all the videos on Youtube from Trump.

Classic Trump:

Lohan cited for possible DUI after curb swerve

This new "Brat Pack" of Lohan, Spears, Paris, etc. is not as exciting as former ones. They may be a lot dumber though. You are millionaires and you insist on driving yourself everywhere? I can see driving yourself if you want to go to reeds jewelers, or just plain shopping, but it is just moronic to drive drunk with the resources they have.

Lindsay Lohan was cited for investigation of driving under the influence Saturday and was slightly injured when the troubled actress’ convertible struck a curb, police said.

Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen said. read more

Get Direct Advertising from Bloggers

PayPerPost has introduced a new addition to their already successful blogging advertisement service. PPP Direct launched yesterday and they are going to give bloggers and advertisers a way to contact each other directly for blog advertising in addition to their service that already gives advertisers a ton of control over what kind of blogs they want their advertising on.

This word of mouth marketing campaign gives not only bloggers a better chance to make more money, but also gives advertisers a way to get lower fees from the same service that Review Me has utilized for so long. PPP Direct cuts out the massive overhead. Where competitors like ReviewMe charge 50-100% markup and keep up to half your money, PPP Direct only charges a 10% fee, 5% of which goes to transaction fees for PayPal and credit card processing.

How it works for bloggers is that they go into their dashboard and get badges to show that they offer advertising on their sites. Advertisers can click on that badge and make offers to the bloggers for whatever they want. Bloggers and advertisers can haggle a bit, but blogger have the ability to display a minimum price they are willing to take as a starting point. Advertisers make the offer and the bloggers accept or make a counter offer. Then they do the assignment once an agreement is reached. Simple to do and the best way to get both the blogger and advertiser the best deal.

Prosecutors want Tom Sizemore to go to prison

Prosecutors said Thursday they will ask a judge to revoke Tom Sizemore’s probation and impose a sentence of 16 months in prison.

The 45-year-old actor has had a string of legal problems, the most recent coming this month, when he was arrested outside a hotel where police found two bags of suspected methamphetamine and smoking pipes in his car. He has pleaded not guilty to several drug-related charges.

Prosecutors said in court documents that in light of the actor’s arrest, Sizemore should have his 36-month probation revoked. He is going to need some sound machines therapy after this one.

He looks terrible in all the pictures I've seen. Good luck to him getting out of this one.

Score Summer Tutoring

Students tend to lose a lot of wht they learned over the summer. Just like sports where every year the players have to go over the basics and re-learn what they once knew, many students start out behind when they get back to school after the summer. A good way to make sure that your kids keep their minds working, or just a way to get some advanced tutoring for subjects your child may be struggling with is the Score summer camp. Several programs are avaiable from Kindergarten to High School students.

Keira Knightley wins damages over weight slur

British actress Keira Knightley, star of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” film trilogy, won almost $6,000 in libel damages on Thursday over a newspaper slur that she was excessively thin.

The Daily Mail had run a story with a picture of her in a bikini, headlined: “If Pictures Like This One of Keira Carried a Health Warning, My Darling Daughter Might Have Lived.”

“The article could be interpreted to have asserted that the claimant bore personal responsibility for causing the tragic death of Sophie Mazurek, a 19-year-old, who battled with anorexia,” Knightley’s lawyer Simon Smith told the High Court. read more..

Blame everyone else besides yourselves. The American way. Here buy some cheap pens and put a slogan on it the villifies you from responsibility for your actions.

Britney, Paris among top overexposed stars

Here's one of those "no s***" articles from MSNBC. Overexposed, or underexposed? Do we really want to hear about world events when we listen to the news? Fox is all reality all the time man. Fox network channel is like a softcore version of their Fox Reality TV channel. Fox News may even be closer to Fox Reality TV than their flagship station.

I say you give us more Britney, Paris, Anna "more popular dead" Nicole , Kevin "No Talent Ass Clown" Federline, and that American Idol douchebag, Sanjaya Malakar. These people give us hope. Britney is disgusting and has less talent than William Hung. Paris is a pornstar. Ann Nicole was a PLAYBOY PLAYMATE (put that on your Address Plaque), married an old rich guy for money, got really fat and laid around on her home furniture, never got her money, lost some wight, died of drugs (most likely), and now she is like Jim Morrison, or Kurt Cobain. I don't pay attention to guys so all I know about the other two is that Federline must have a huge...err...and Sanjaya Malakabaabaeraba is likely gay, but women love him, or something.
