Like so many other couples in Hollywood, Eva Longoria, 31, and Tony Parker, 24, are “thrilled to announce” that after “dating steadily for two years,” they are “officially engaged,” says Longoria’s rep, Liza Anderson. Parker, a point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, was born in Belgium and raised in France; which, according to Eva’s rep, is where they plan to wed next summer. The pair met for the first time in the locker room after a Spurs’...  Read More »

NOVEMBER 30th It was ten years ago today (1996) that the world lost one of its more creatively odd characters, singer Tiny Tim. Born in New York in 1925, and given the name Herbert Khaury, Tiny Tim was most famously known for his song “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”, which highlighted his unique falsetto singing and ukulele playing. In the 1960s he performed in Greenwich Village and a 1968 documentary about the 60s, You Are What You Eat, used several of his...  Read More »

Believe it or not, I actually wasn’t going to write anything about the Trash Twins, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, but I just can’t seem to get them out of my mind. As we all know by now, the two have been spending quite a bit of time together since Thanksgiving — Paris, with her perpetually funny looking face, and Britney with no underwear. A true dynamic duo, indeed. So many people are saying that Britney Spears has gone off the deep end and is...  Read More »

I didn’t even know they were an item. Did you? But I found a bunch of pictures of them together, so I guess they are. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Survivor producer Mark Burnett and Touched By An Angel’s Roma Downey, both 46, got engaged. Apparently, they don’t feel the same way as Cameron Diaz when it comes to marriage. “I have found my angel,” Burnett told People magazine. The British born Burnett and Roma Downey, who is from Northern...  Read More »

Cameron Diaz, 34, is commitment-phobic and doesn’t want to get married, or have kids. She has also admitted that she doesn’t even want the responsibility of caring for a dog. Yesterday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Ellen brought up the subject, saying, “When [Justin] was on the show I asked him if you were going to get married.” To which Cameron responded, “I saw that. You know the answer to that, Ellen. I’m a commitment-phobe. Don’t want...  Read More »

Ever since I first saw the movie version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I have been convinced that Tim Curry wears women’s underwear — under everything. Think about it…… As Dr. Frank N. Furter, he moves comfortably and freely in his lingerie. Almost too comfortably – as if it were a second skin – and he handles his platform heals like he’s worn them all his life. Now think about his role as Cardinal Richelieu in 1993’s The...  Read More »

GOBBLE! GOBBLE! GOBBLE! The above work of art, created by Norman Rockwell, was one painting in a four part series called Four Freedoms. This depiction of a Thanksgiving dinner is Rockwell’s representation of the “Freedom From Want”. The other three paintings in the series (below) represent “The Freedom of Speech”, “The Freedom of Worship”, and “The Freedom From Fear”. Norman Percevel Rockwell was born in New York City on February 3, 1894...  Read More »

NOVEMBER 22nd On this day in 1916, noted author Jack London died of kidney failure, at the age of 40, in Glen Ellen, California. Known as one of the best writers to capture the last wild frontier of Alaska, Jack London published his first stories in 1899, and eventually produced over 50 volumes of short stories, novels, and political essays. His 1903 novel, The Call of the Wild, about a domestic dog that joins an Alaskan wolf pack, reflected his beliefs in...  Read More »

The drunken-whore stars aligning with the white-trash-mother stars is the only explanation I have for the energy force that created this celebrity pairing. A picture speaks a thousand words, so I will let you enjoy the photos and draw your own conclusions. One thing is for sure, Paris Hilton has a funny looking face, and Britney Spears has fake hair* and no pants. And what’s up with the open mouth, Britney? Maybe they’re trading skills. *PROOF: One...  Read More »

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now happily married. If that’s what you want to call it. Apparently their first kiss lasted so long, the guests had to tell them stop, but did so a moment too soon for Tom’s taste — he wasn’t quite done sucking the remaining life force out of Katie. Can anyone tell me why they are the same height in the pictures? Is Katie Holmes barefoot? Is Tom Cruise wearing lifts? The mysteries of the alien brainwashed...  Read More »

I just flew in from the Italian wedding of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and boy are my arms tired. Ba-da-bum-bum. But seriously folks………..did you know that the castle in which Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got married today, is haunted? The legend goes something like this: For more than 400 years, the Odescalchi Castle (located in the medieval lakeside town of Bracciano, Italy) has been haunted by the ghost of Isabella dei Medici, who was murdered by...  Read More »

Finally! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been waiting for The Simpsons on the big screen forever. If the world were a perfect place, the movie would come out today, but alas, the world is flawed. So I will wait with eager anticipation until July 27, 2007. Until then, there is this to tie us over: The Simpsons Movie Trailer And of course, there’s always the official Simpsons website Fun facts about The Simpsons: All the Simpson’s...  Read More »

What the heck is up with Star Jones? Why does it look like she powdered her chest with a totally wrong shade, then put make-up on her cleavage to make her enormous breasts look bigger? Does she have fun house mirrors that actually make her look good? Because my eyes beg to differ. Fun facts about Star Jones: She used to work at McDonalds. Star Jones earned her B.A. degree in History & English at American University and a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree...  Read More »

Thanksgiving is one week from today. Before you start thinking about everything you’re going to eat, take a moment to review what Thanksgiving is really all about. Before there were frozen turkeys, football, and cool-whip, there were Pilgrims and Indians. Without them, we wouldn’t get to stuff ourselves silly once a year and have a four day weekend. Perhaps we should give thanks to them. *The English colonists we call Pilgrims celebrated days of...  Read More »

Check out this adorable animated short, about a little Kiwi who just wants to fly. Being flightless isn’t the only thing that makes New Zealand’s beloved Kiwi bird special. Did you know that it is the only bird in the world with nostrils at the end of its beak? But it doesn’t stop there. With the possible exception of the hummingbird, the female Kiwi has the largest egg of any bird in the world, in proportion to its body size. The Kiwi bird is about...  Read More »

Bill Maher has always spoken his mind, especially when it comes to the hypocrisy of American politics. Before there was The Daily Show or The Colbert Report, there was Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. And boy, was it! Which is what made it so great. So it was no surprise when the comedian went on Larry King Live and alleged that some top Republicans are gay. Apparently, it was too much for CNN to handle so they edited out the remarks for future airings...  Read More »

Aside from now knowing how to blackmail, Kevin Federline has learned to write — on shower doors and scratch paper. After his November 8th “performance” at the House of Blues in Chicago, and the day after Britney Spears filed for divorce, he left a little love note for his soon to be ex-wife. Sounds like somebody has been eating sour grapes. According to US Weekly, the note was really written by him, as the signature matches a poster they have in their...  Read More »

NOVEMBER 15TH On this day in 1956, Elvis Presley’s first movie, Love Me Tender opened in New York at the Paramount Theater. It took just three days for the movie to earn back its $1 million cost. Elvis appeared in 33 movies over the next 13 years. 1956: Love Me Tender 1957: Loving You 1957: Jailhouse Rock 1958: King Creole 1960: GI Blues 1960: Flaming Star 1961: Wild In The Country 1961: Blue Hawaii 1962: Follow That Dream 1962: Kid Galahad 1962: Girls!...  Read More »

So let me get this straight………Jude Law dumped Sienna Miller because she was partying too much. So it’s okay for him to sleep with the nanny, but it’s not okay for her to be 24 years old and want to have a good time? Sounds like a certain British actor has some issues. Apparently, in Jude Law’s world, what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander. Which I guess is okay since Jude Law is a jackass and not a goose. The angel in me says good...  Read More »

As we all know, Britney Spears is dumping K-Fed, and she’s actually doing it with some class. Which is a huge step for her considering the past two years (refer to above photo for proof). Rumor has it that K-Fed now wants to sell a 4-hour sex tape they made, and has received some multi-million dollar offers. But in true white trash style, K-Fed has told Britney that he’ll sell it back to her for $30 million and full custody of their kids. Um, that sounds...  Read More »
