Catwoman

If I can't be the Wicked Queen, I want to be Catwoman.

Michelle Pfeiffer did it best in my opinion.



But the delicious Julie Newmar was no slouch either.

For An 80 Year Old, She Looks Fab!

I love Susan Sarandon and I think it needs to be said. But I love her even more now that she has played the role of the Wicked Queen in Enchanted.

I don't know any baby gay boy in the world who didn't have the tiniest crush on the Wicked Queen in that old Snow White movie. Ms Sarandon has taken it one better this time though. She gets to be the Wicked Queen in New York! How cool. My dream is to do something like that, only I would be holding a whip as an accessory.



Of course, I met a few wicked queens in my day, and I can assure you they didn't look like this. Well...some of them did but that was Drag night at the bar so it doesn't count.

Britney Makes Me Sad

So because I am unhappy right now, I decided to share a pic that make me very happy. And these guys look happy, don't they? I have no idea who they are, or what they are celebrating, but I want to celebrate with them.

A New Day

Jesus, you go to bed at night, and wake up in the morning and find out Britney has been committed! Girlfriend moves fast.

To spare you all reading about it, I will give you the barest of details. If you want more indepth reporting, wait for next weeks People to come out. I am sure they are working on the story as we speak.

So last night, Brits shrink visited her at her house and felt she was a danger to herself and called the police to take her away to the funny farm. She went quietly, but once at the hospital apparantly all hell broke loose. She freaked on her mum Lynne, accusing her of sleeping with her boyfriend; that shady Lutfi guy got into it with Papa Spears again over who would have control of her medical treatment. I would lean more towards her parents rather than some shady guy who has only known Brit for a few months, but that is just me. Sam probably doesn't want the parents to take control because they want to take her back to Louisiana which is probably the best thing for that girl.

You know, I have an angel and a devil on each shoulder. The angel is saying "Poor girl. She is in desperate need of help. You should feel sorry for her." The devil is saying "Bitch is doing this to get more front page covers of all the magazines. And it's working." I am leaning more towards agreeing with the devil. I mean isn't it a coincidence that Britney's crazy antics ratched up a couple of notches after her pregnant sister stole the spotlight?

I Need Help

I can't stay away from Britney. I never really cared for her music as it was a bit to poppy for me, but her breakdown is just fascinating to watch. One can't tear their eyes away. It is almost hypnotic.

So, if I have done this right, you will see Brit, using her fake British accent, giving the smackdown to that shady guy who hangs out with her. Oh, and she makes sure her friends the paps are their to document every moment of it.



ETA, well apparantly this embedding video thing is not working for me.

I hate blogging.

More Britney News

You know, I swore when I started this blog I would hardly, if ever, mention Britney Spears. There are plenty of celebrity gossip blogs that fill that niche quite nicely and I wanted mine to be different. But damn if Brit Brit isn't making it hard for me! That girl just brings the drama and it is quite impossible to ignore. So I have surrendered. (Besides, there is really nothing else juicy to report right now).

So, last night Brit had another public breakdown. Apparently she got into a "fight" with that shady Sam Lufti character, and made sure the paps were there to document it. She called her pap boyfriend Adnan and asked him to come over and save her, and when he did, Lufti wouldn't let him in the door. Then Brit's mother made an appearance, as well as her dad. Rumour has it they are staging an intervention. Who knows, but it didn't stop them from going car shopping the next day.

You know, can't Britney just have a quiet night at home watching videos for just 1 night?

What A Scumbag!

Unless you have been living on Mars, everyone knows that Britney has been dating a paparazzo dude called Adnan Ghalib. I don't know what she was thinking sleeping with the enemy though because what I thought would happen is happening. Adnan is now trying to sell private video footage he took of the troubled pop star. You can read more details about it here http://notw.typepad.com/showbiz/2008/01/britney-hit-by.html

What a weenie.

The World Is Coming To An End

In what parallel universe is Alli Sims, ex assistant to the insane Britney Spears even considered worthy of getting her picture taken? Yet here she is at some stupid promotional party in LA doing exactly that. What the hell has she done other than say yes to some crazed lunatic? Now all of a sudden she is posing on the red carpet like she is Beyonce.

The world is tilting on its axis.

Annie Again

Just because I finally figured out how to put a vid here you get a lovely treat.

Librarian!

I finally got it working! So you will like this one.

Dalbello

Testing to see if I can embed a vid from YouTube



Yay! It worked sort of

Big Brother 9

I am totally not ashamed to admit it, but I am a Big Brother whore. I love this show. Of course, when I say I love it, I mean I love the live internet feeds. The show that CBS puts on is not the show rabid feed viewers see. Last summer, people who watched the edited show saw a crusty but lovable rocker daddy win the big prize. Anyone who watched the live feeds on the internet can tell you Evel Dick wasn't so lovable. He was a bully, and I hated to see someone like that win the grand prize. And I am trying to forget it ever happened.

So because of the WGA strike, CBS is putting BB on a few months earlier this year. I have to say I am thrilled! A winter version of BB has never been done before this side of the ocean.

I hope there are no twists this year. But if they had to bring a twist back, I hope it will be Jen from last season.

I love her.

Dull Days

Heath Ledgers death was pretty much all people were talking about today in the gossip world. Stars giving quotes about what a great guy he was, even if they had never met him! And of course, many speculations about what happened and why. I won't go into it here, but if you want to read up about it, go to tmz.com. They usually have pretty accurate information.

So since everyone was more interested in Heath, Brit Brit decided it was time to turn the spotlight back on herself as is her wont. So she showed up at a court hearing (which she requested) to see about getting partial visitation back for her kids, and immediately turned right around back out the door! Such a simple move succeeded in getting more attention for her. I wish she would just go away. Far far away.

Who Dropped the Bomb?

One of my favourite shows is coming back on Feb 12th at 10 pm. After a "nuts" campaign, CBS decided to bring back Jericho for a measly 7 episodes. I should be happy at least we are getting that, but since I am never happy I want a full bloody season!

For those not in the know, Jericho deals with a small town cut off from the world after a nuclear attack on the US. Who dropped the bombs? Was it an inside job? The residents of Jericho don't know. Or at least most of them don't. A few have an idea. When last we left our hearty band, they were being invaded by a neighbouring town looking to steal the farmland and salt. What will happen next?

To No One's Surprise, Amy Winehouse is a Crackhead

Here's a pic of chanteuse Amy Winehouse smoking crack. I have to wonder why anyone is surprised or shocked by it. I mean this is a girl who has built her fledgling career about her refusal to go to Rehab. That's her hook. She must have known the camera was there. God knows I can spy a camera from a mile away so I can make sure to get in front of it.

Anyway, I think people should be worried less about her drug taking and more worried about her eating habits. That girl needs a good meal. And I thought drugs gave you the munchies.

The Joker Died Today

Wow, I have to say this totally shocked me, but Heath Ledger, 28, died today! So terribly sad.

In case you hadn't heard, around 3:30 pm, Heath was found dead in his apartment with a bottle of prescription, and non-prescription pills. I won't go into all the salacious details, but the police have ruled out suicide and think it was just an accidental overdose.

He was such a talented actor that words just fail me right now.

Janet Jackson as the New Rupaul

Janet tries again to be Madonna. Bless her for trying, but she just ends up looking like a drag queen.

She will always be Penny from Good Times to me so her new ablum cover kind of squeeks me out a bit.

I Thought My Nails Were Bad

Check out the fingernails on Britney Spears. It looks like she dipped her fingers in chocolate, started licking away, then got distracted by her cuticles which were in need of a chewing. I shouldn't talk of course because I would probably do the same thing.

But don't get me started on her zits though. That girl needs a good facial.

Just a Test

I tried to embed a video from Youtube, but Blogger wouldn't let me do it. So, I tried to upload a video from my computer. Let's see how that goes eh? I hope it works and doesn't get me flagged. Don't flag me dear readers. It's only Annie Lennox and not porn.

God! This is taking forever to upload! My eyes are closing. I wonder if I went for a nap it would be done by the time I woke up? I am sorely tempted to crawl into bed.

Oh! I see what it does! It gives you the upload progress at the bottom of the screen! I love it!

Almost done! I feel so technical now.

Video uploaded, but they are processing it, which is taking a bloody long time in my opinion.

Yes!!!! It finally worked!

Just Because It Can't Be Said Enough

I have never been a James Bond fan. Moonraker wasn't that bad, but only because it was basically a sci-fi movie. The others? I could take 'em or leave em.

But after seeing this pic of the new James Bond I am sold. And because of this pic, it is the only reason I would consider seeing Casino Royale. Well, and because Judi Dench is in it. I love her. Of course every time the DVD is returned, and I start to get excited thinking I can take it home and watch it, it comes up on hold. Damn!

Nicole Kidman is Vain

A lot of gossip columnists have been ragging on Nicole Kidman for presumably injecting her face with botox. "Oh, she can't smile" they mock, or "Oh, she is so expressionless" they say.

So now that she is pregnant, apparently it isn't safe for the baby to inject yourself with salmonella or whatever the hell botox is made of. Makes sense I suppose, but my mother smoked all through her pregnancy with me and I turned out okay and smoking kills! Salmonella just gives you the heaves. Much like pregnancy I have heard.

Anyhoo, now that Nic is off the needle, people have been gleefully awaiting her new face. I have to admit to being kinda curious myself. Would it be a Portrait of Dorian Grey scenario?

Judge for yourself. Doesn't she look ancient?

RIP Suzanne Pleshette

Sad that my first post is about the death of one of my favourite actresses, but beloved Suzanne Pleshette died over the weekend of respiratory failure. She was 70.

Best known for being Bob Newharts wife, she will always be known to me for her role as Leona Helmsley in the 90's biopic "Queen of Mean". Loved her in it! She also played Karen Walker's boozy mother in Will & Grace.

First Post

So, I am doing this project for work, and one of our tasks is to create a blog. So this is it.

Not sure what I will talk about, but methinks it will be about something I know: Celebrity Gossip!

So welcome and I hope you enjoy reading.
