Nothing Like a Good Outting to Start the Day

I never believed the hype and rumours that John Travolta was gay. Nor do I believe this pot shot of him "greeting" a "pal" is anything more than.... oh who am I kidding! What's disturbing to me though is this crazy hair transplant he's got. And his body is so out of whack. He looks like the McDonald's Grimace character. Poor Kelly Preston.

Hilary Swank

Damn! She drops that Chad baggage and get's busy!! With The Black Dahlia due out September 15th, Hilary's going from sleeper A-lister, double Oscar winner to a woman to be reckoned with! Pow! Good for her. Shots were taken for Vanity Fair.
The Black Dahlia stars Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson and Mia Kirshner as Elizabeth Short. The film, which opened the Venice film festival this year, is directed by Brian DePalma who is in element with this film. Both crime drama and sexy Hollywood glamour showcase, this could be one of the first Oscar contenders this year.

Angel's Reunion

In case you missed the original Charlies' Angels reunion of sorts at this year's Emmys, you can check it out here. The Emmy Reunion.

Thankfully, Farrah didn't embarrass herself... that much. I still can't believe that Jacklyn Smith is 60! So is 60 the new 40 and 40 is the new 20 and....

MK Just Needs a Hug

Although I'm sure she'd taser you if you tried! Apparently Mary-Kate and Ashley have sold their $4 million LA estate so that they could reside mostly in New York. These poor girls. Always cowling and hiding and shrinking. But maybe all along it was just the LA experience that was making them this way?

Red Heads Don't Tan Damn it!

Just what is Lindsay's problem?! She is constantly being seen in a bikini outdoors while the sun is shinning. Although I don't think I've seen a shot of her burnt red, she clearly is adding to her freckle collection. And I'm sorry, it's just not pretty.

Nip Tuck Season Four

One... of my favorite shows, although more of a guilty pleasure, has been nip/tuck.
The FX show I thought was sure to be over in the last season where the story lines just went a bit well over the top. But they're back for more as the plastic partners celebrate their 5000 surgery. Joining the cast in one form or another this season will be Mario Lopez of Saved By the Bell fame, Brooke Shields, Rosie O'Donnell, Richard Chamberlain and others. The season four premiere is September 5th. Stay tuned.

Farrah Freaks at Shatner's Roast

The former Charlie's Angels' star appeared to go into meltdown on as she was interviewed with Star Trek actor William Shatner.

The actress looked frazzled with her normally neatly groomed hair unbrushed and mop-like. Her thin figure and the veins protruding from her arms even put her health in question.

Fawcett claims she 'wasn't on anything' during the interview, despite appearing confused and disoriented.

She forgot her lines and later jumped up and down on the stage, ruffling her hair, and holding her head in her hands.

The appearance - as a guest on The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner - was similar to an infamous 1997 interview she gave to U.S. chat show host David Letterman when her incoherent chatter led to rumours of drug abuse.

Historical Hollywood Twists of Fate

Richard Burton, the first Bond?
Alfred Hitchcock, the director of the first Bond film?!

By MARK AITKEN, The Mail on SundayLast updated at 22:00pm on 26th August 2006

Think of James Bond and, for millions of movie fans around the world, an image of Sean Connery immediately springs to mind.

But newly unearthed documents show that Britain's most famous spy nearly had a very different face - that of Richard Burton.

In 1959, three years before Connery made his debut in Dr No, 007 creator Ian Fleming decided he wanted Burton to play the part - in a movie to be directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

If the project had gone ahead, it would have had dramatic repercussions for cinematic history.

Burton would almost certainly have missed his role as Marc Antony in Cleopatra, during which he fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor; Hitchcock may never have directed Psycho; and Connery would have lost his opportunity for international stardom and the knighthood that came his way in 2000.

Burton was first choice.

Fleming's initial determination to land Burton is revealed in previously unpublished correspondence to his friend Ivar Bryce, whose company Xanadu was planning to make the first Bond film.

Fleming wrote: "Both Dehn [a Hollywood screenwriter] and I think that Richard Burton would be by far the best James Bond!"

Fleming also decided to ask Hitchcock to direct.

He cabled a mutual friend, the crime novelist Eric Ambler, asking: "Would Hitchcock be interested in directing the first Bond film? Plentiful finance available. Think we might have a winner particularly if you were interested in scripting."

The correspondence appears in a new book, called The Battle For Bond - The Genesis Of Cinema's Greatest Hero.

Its author, Robert Sellers, said: "Burton had the same brooding sexuality and sexual magnetism as Connery. But the Bond series we know and love would have been completely different."

The project did not get off the ground, says Mr Sellers, because "Hitchcock turned his back on big-budget movies for his next production, a small black-and-white film that changed cinema for ever, Psycho".

Fleming later sold the film rights to his novels to producers Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli, who chose the then relatively unknown Connery to play 007.

"Janet, meet Photoshop!"

Apparently Janet Jackson can not have enough sex. Really, all the time, she's gotta have it. At least that's what her new photo spread and interview in FHM this month says. And boy, the retouchers went to town on her!

Ewww for Breakfast

According to Local6.com a 60-year-old man in Lake County, Fla., is accused of biting a 6-year-old boy's genitals as a punishment, according to a police report.
Investigators said Nelson Chaudoin of Sorrento, Fla., was charged with lewd and lascivious molestation on a boy after a woman called police to report the alleged incident.
The woman told police that when she confronted Chaudoin about biting the boy's genitals, he said he bit them because the boy would not stop touching himself, according to The Daily Commercial in Lake County.
The report said the boy told police that Chaudoin did bite him.
It was not known if the boy was clothed when the alleged biting occurred.
Chaudoin was transported to the Lake County Jail and was being held on a $15,000 bond.

I guess now with the Jon Benet Ramsey suspect in custody alllll the kiddie predators will be in the spotlight.
What a sick world we live in.

Hard at Work on Ocean's 13 Set

George Clooney, looking like he's settling in to an early-stage old man, and Brad Pitt, sporting a new tattoo on his hand (yuck) while on a break from filming Ocean's 13.
And actor's life for me. Hmmm? OK.

CLASS ACT

Britney Spears stupidly posing with the web animation program Flash for no apparent reason at the Teen Choice Awards.
"My, what an appropriate outfit choice for a show honoring teens!"

Angelina Fembot

We desire perfection in our celebrities to such a point that we won't ever be able to distinguish what's real or not any more.
Like the 80s sci-fi movie "Looker," actors and models will be scanned into computers and animated to such realistic perfection for our entertainment. Imagine a digital perfect James Dean still acting today or a forever young and thin Elizabeth Taylor in the latest theatrical release?

BTW: These photos are from a make-up ad campaign for the Japanese company Shiseido when Angelina was 6 months pregnant.

Desperate Advertising

New promos have popped up for the upcoming season of Desperate Housewives. Check out Felicity Huffman. Hair extensions really remake the soccer-mom look. Nicollette Sheridan still looks like a drag queen.

Beyonce's Singing Vagina

I wonder if her snatch is a better singer than her?

Drew Barrymore in V Magazine

WTF!? I guess the look is "Crazy Actress."
Yeah, that works.

"Yes Tara, they haven't fallen out ...this time!"

An inchoherant Tara Reid was seen displaying her saggy tits in front of the Ivy in Los Angeles.

SHOCKING STATS ON MALE SUICIDE RATES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Older white males have the highest suicide rate in the United States, said the Population Reference Bureau in Washington.

Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States with 11 suicide deaths per 100,000 Americans.

For white males over the age of 65, the rate is almost triple that figure.

White males are more than eight times as likely to kill themselves as women of the same age and the risk increases as they get older, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Suicide experts are unable to pinpoint an exact cause for the higher rate but some believe white males lack the resilience and coping mechanisms that women and other ethnic groups have.

They also point to the fact that males are socialized to be in control and are less apt to seek help for depression which leads to suicide.

PENIS PUMP JUDGE GETS FOUR YEARS IN PRISON

BRISTOW, Okla. (AP) - A former judge convicted of exposing himself while presiding over jury trials by using a sexual device under his robe was sentenced Friday to four years in prison.
Donald Thompson had spent almost 23 years on the bench and had served as a state legislator before retiring from the court in 2004. He showed no reaction when he was sentenced.
At his trial this summer, his former court reporter, Lisa Foster, testified that she saw Thompson expose himself at least 15 times during trial between 2001 and 2003. Prosecutors said he also used a device known as a penis pump during at least four trials in the same period.
Thompson, 59, was convicted last month of four felony courts of indecent exposure for incidents that took place in his Creek County courtroom.
Thompson, a married father of three grown children, testified that the penis pump was given to him as a joke by a longtime hunting and fishing buddy.
"It wasn't something I was hiding," he said.
He said he may have absentmindedly squeezed the pump's handle during court cases but never used it to masturbate.
Foster told authorities that she saw Thompson use the device almost daily during the August 2003 murder trial of a man accused of shaking a toddler to death. A whooshing sound could be heard on Foster's audiotape of the trial. When jurors asked the judge about the sound, Thompson said he hadn't heard it but would listen for it.
Police built a case against the judge after a police officer testifying in a 2003 murder trial saw a piece of plastic tubing disappear under Thompson's robe. During a lunch break, officers took photographs of the pump under the desk.
Investigators later checked the carpet, Thompson's robes and the chair behind the bench and found semen, according to court records.

Re-make Over

Apparently Farrah had some additional work done to fix further aging as well as some bad choices in past plastic surgery procedures.
Man, wouldn't a Charlies Angeles reunion movie just be a scary idea at this point? Kinda like that last creepy scene in A League of Their Own where all the old versions of the characters meet up.

The Naked Chef Puts on the Pounds

31-year-old, Naked Chef star Jamie Oliver wasted our time this week.

The British celebrity spent four hours undergoing a special make-up tranformation into an obese version of himself.
Oliver was filming a segment for his BBC show Jamie's School Dinners to show the effects of junk food served in schools.

And I thought only the Americans were at risk for obesity from junk food?

"He did look very convincing as a fat person," said a passer-by who saw the ad being filmed in Peckham, South London.

WHEN ART DIRECTORS DON'T EVEN TRY

"Wow!" In looking for a grand goofy photo of Stephen Baldwin I came accross this gem of a straight-to-video release. I think this is the real reason Stephen found Jesus, because his audience wasn't finding him!

SAVE ME STEPHEN!!

In Esquire Magazine this month comes this story that answers the question, "Whatever happened to that amazing talented actor Stephen Baldwin?" ...well, he wrote a book about finding God and how he became one of those really annoying people that claim that all of your problems could be solved, if only you brought "you know who" into your life.

"Hope you haven't recently eaten anything, it may come up."

....................

You can learn a lot from Stephen Baldwin. Maybe not about quality acting or the downside of nepotism, but balls-out evangelism? The man will change your life.

Since finding Christ after the September 11 attacks, Baldwin's nurtured a unique kind of religious conviction, one that's equal parts scripture and Mountain Dew Code Red. He talks about it, and why you should find it, too, in his new book, The Unusual Suspect: My Calling to the New Hardcore Movement of Faith (Warner Faith, $24). Pull up a pew.

ON SPIRITUALITY: "And trust me, I had the 2001 Porsche Twin Turbo. That car would do zero to 60 in three seconds, but it was nothing but a little kid pedal car compared to the wild ride the Spirit will take you on."

ON HUMILITY:" 'But let me just tell you,' I screamed at God. 'You better be real, because if you aren't, you will regret the day you ever messed with Stephen Baldwin.' "

ON PLEASURES OF THE FLESH: "I like to ask friends of mine, happy couples who seem to have a pretty good marriage, I will ask them, 'How's your sex life?'...They will say something like pretty good or okay or no complaints here. Here's what I tell them: Imagine taking a healthy sex life and inviting the power of God into that exchange."

ON VENGEANCE: "Here I'd always imagined Jesus was the sweet, cuddly, loving dude, and suddenly I find out he makes Conan the Barbarian look like Conan the wimp. He didn't come with a guitar singing Kum Ba Yah. Jesus brought a sword to the earth, and he is still swinging it."

ON PROSELYTIZING: "God has called me to go and make disciples of the youth of America. That is what I am going to do, and if you try to stop me, I am going to break your face."

Beyonce and Her Giant Bag of Bullshit

Dlisted reports:
Beyonce is a dumb ass. She named her upcoming album B'Day. It's of course supposed to mean Birthday, but if it looks like it's pronounced "bidet." A bidet is basically a toilet that shoots up water to clean your dirty a-hole.

She was a guest on a BBC radio show when the DJ told her that he thought her album was pronounced bidet. She responded:

"When I came up with the title, I wasn't thinking about a bidet. And if I had, I would have probably named it birthday, or just B."

No, I think Bidet is just perfect.

BOND GIRL WRITTEN ALL OVER HER

I know it's a tad too late to cast my vote, but wouldn't Jenna Jameson make a fantastic Bond girl?!
I mean, come on! MORE PIX HERE
Maybe it was too "blond on blond" for Bond, but Jenna would be such a great choice for the remake of Goldfinger.

Jodie Lookin Hot and Butch

In the urban suspense thriller, The Brave One, Jodie plays a woman who struggles to recover from a brutal attack and sets out on a dark, psychological and physical journey for revenge and justice.
"Hmm, didn't she win her first Oscar playing exactly that?" In that film, The Accused, she wore a wig that looks very much like the style shown here? I guess she knows what works for her.
The Brave One is directed by Crying Game's Neil Jordan and also stars Terrence Howard, of "Hustle and Flow" and "Ray" fame.
The film is due out June of 2007.
Jodie is also in pre-production for Sugarland. In this film she wears both hats as director and costars with Taxi Driver alum Robert DeNiro. Sugarland is due out sometime in 2007.

Prison Break Countdown

One of my favorite shows last season is filming down in Texas this week. From the looks of things, they do make it out and on the road. I'm assuming this season may be very different from last, now as an "on the run" scenario. The show comes back to FOX Monday, August 21st.

CRY FOR HELP... OR HOT?

Images like this always surprise me. "Does this person have a family, friends, a therapist?" Maybe they all just hate her and want her to disappear to nothing. And remember, the camera ADDS ten pounds!!

Actor Bruno Kirby is Dead at the 57

Kirby died Monday in Los Angeles from complications related to leukemia, according to a statement from his wife, Lynn Sellers. He had recently been diagnosed with the disease.
"Bruno's spirit will continue to live on not only in his rich body of film and television work but also through the lives of individuals he has touched throughout his life."
Kirby was perhaps best known for his roles opposite Billy Crystal in 1989's "When Harry Met Sally" and 1991's "City Slickers."

WHAT A PAIR

You know, I think these two are gonna make it. Although it is quite creepy that Michelle Williams looks like she's 8.
They're apparently on vacation in Mexico. You can click on the image for a larger version.

Avril Lavigne Looks Awesome

What happened to that scrappy scrawny girl we once knew?
I thought she was supposed to be a tie-wearing rebel going against the establishment? That's ok, she's so pretty.:-)

...In News I Don't Believe For a Minute...

Paris Hilton has bought the plot next to Marilyn Monroe's grave to bury her pet goat.

The 25-year-old has reportedly booked a plot in Hollywood's Pierce Bros Westwood Village Memorial Park next to her screen idol.

It is also alleged that she has booked a gospel choir to perform at a private funeral at Los Angeles' International Church of Christ.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "It's absolutely disgusting. Paris booked the plot for a 'Billy Hilton'.

"Everybody was very understanding because they presumed it was one of her relatives.

"But it has transpired that it's just an old goat. Normal people are content to bury their pets in the garden and be done with it. But not Paris.

—First off, it's legend that Playboy founder Hugh Hefner purchased the plot next to Marilyn. I can't even imagine that the plot on the either side went unpurchased in all these years just waiting for Paris to make an ass out of herself. Well, I guess that's what she does basically.

Copperfield says he has found the "Fountain of Youth"

MIAMI (Reuters) - The man who made the Statue of Liberty appear to vanish may soon claim to do the same for unsightly bags and wrinkles.

Master illusionist David Copperfield says he has found the "Fountain of Youth" in the southern Bahamas, amid a cluster of four tiny islands he recently bought for $50 million (26.4 million pounds).

One of his islands in the Exuma chain, Musha Cay, is a private resort that rents for up to $300,000 a week and the other islands serve as buffers to keep prying eyes away from celebrity guests on the white sand beaches.

"I've discovered a true phenomenon," he told Reuters in a telephone interview. "You can take dead leaves, they come in contact with the water, they become full of life again. ... Bugs or insects that are near death, come in contact with the water, they'll fly away. It's an amazing thing, very, very exciting."

Copperfield, who turns 50 next month, said he had hired biologists and geologists to examine its potential effect on humans but he's not inviting visitors to swim in or drink from it just yet.
