The Slimming Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne Slim.jpg

Kelly Osbourne has revealed the startling secret on her slimming, new figure.  She has put down the Jammie Dodgers cookies for good.  From being a rather large cookie herself, it looks like just her breasts are left to turn back in to the human she truly is. 

Ozzy Osbourne’s little girl is doing her share up growing up, and avoiding eating bats.  Kelly was pictured in the Mirror this week after loosing some noticeable pounds.  The weight dropped off when the “singer” laid her favorite Jamie Dodgers cookies to rest and took up dancing.  I can see the similarities there, the graceful movement of popping a cookie into your open, awaiting mouth to the graceful movements of a limber arabesque.

According to her hair stylist Terry Longden, “There was never just one packet in her dressing room- they left a case.  Nobody was allowed to touch them.  We knew better than to come between her and her Jammie dodgers.  I pinched one and she chased me down the tour bus.”  I wonder… after that comment, is she still the singer’s stylist?

Terry went on to say that Osbourne went on the diet after being taunted about her figure.  “She’s irritated when people label her as fat.  They see chubby cheeks first and assume they are fat all over.”

I understand the predicament Kelly must be in, however, I think we may need a good fat person role model, Kirstie Alley just isn’t doing it for me.

The Wait is Over: George Lucas to Write ‘Star Wars’ TV Series


George Lucas.jpgYou can now rest easy, the wait is truly over.  Star Wars fans world wide are tingling with excitement.  Star Wars creator George Lucas has agreed to write a 100-episode TV series of the classic sci-fi epic. 

The much-awaited series will concentrate on the missing years between Revenge of the Sith, 2005, and the original Star Wars movie, released in 1977.

Producer Rick McCullum said at last Monday evening's Empire Awards, "We're very excited, we just, we just got confirmation George Lucas has committed to writing the Star Wars TV series.  I guess this is the news all fans have been waiting to hear."

I think the news all Star Wars fans have been waiting to hear would go like this, "I will be your Leia, I will come to you in the night- naked, wet and just waiting for you to command me, you giant of a man."

Filming on the series is expected to commence next year. 

It's been a busy week for creative mind George Lucas.  On Monday the filmmaker was recognized by none other than President George W. Bush for his achievement in technology.  Lucas received a National Medal of Science and Technology for his company's innovative visual effects in films. 

Lucas & the president of his company were among 15 people awarded for their revolutionary work in a ceremony held at the White House.  Before awarding each recipient Bush said, "The spirit of discovery is one of our national strengths."

Too true.  I wonder if Clinton mentioned this same thought to Monica regarding the mischievous cigar.....

Teen Queen Lindsay Lohan Topless


Lohan.jpgWhat a great title, I must say; a real eye-catcher.  What ever happened to sticking to your guns, abiding by your morals, vying for roles not for the Oscars, but for the experience?  Ask teen queen Lindsay Lohan.

Lohan is so keen to bring an Oscar home (a task I'm not sure she has the umm, talent for) that she would abandon her no-nudity clause and bare her breasts (didn't we already just about see every inch?) if an award-winning role came along.

The Freaky Friday teen queen (I can't help but love that Lohan hates being called that) is hesitant to appear naked on screen, but admits she does have her price (and from the looks of it, so does her implant surgeon).

She tells the New York Daily News, "I'm okay with being topless in front of people, but I'm not sure if I'd want to do it on-screen.  If it's a role that's going to win me an Oscar, it would be different."

You know, somehow I just can't see gum-smacking teen queen Lindsay Lohan in a Monster or a Walk the Line.  But maybe that's just me.

sex-pistols.jpgFormer Sex Pistols lead singer Johnny Rotten, who now goes by his birth name John Lydon, has nothing but punk rock hatred for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  The Sex Pistols were inducted into the hall of fame last night, without the surviving members present.

Joh Lydon appeared as a guest on ABC's talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live last Friday and was asked why he and his two partners from the punk band were snubbing the hall.

"They never cared who we were," Lydon said.  "They never bothered to correct the incredible fatal, bad mistakes about our legend and legacy in their museum and up until now, they've rejected our nomination for three years running, and now they want a piece of us."

"Well guess what?  Kiss this!," Lydon said, making a somewhat rude gesture.

"When I began as a Sex Pistol, there was no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and suddenly this organization is put on top of us like we have an obligation to them.  Well, it's the other way around,  Don't use my name to prop your (expletive) nonsense."

When it was first announced last month that the group would finally be inducted into the hall, the Sex Pistols declined the 'honor' with a nasty little message posted on their site. 

You know, it's good to have the boys rattled about something, everyone needs an enemy to punk rock against.  Mine is the pimple.  I go batty on those evil face dwellers, I have my own decree written on worn paper by the bathroom mirror:

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?  Take this pimple, take them all before I start a punk rock brawl.  It is not me that makes them come, I don't know why I have this scum.  I will rebel, run like hell, say farewell- not on me will these bastards dwell.  I have to fight, for it's my right, to save my pretty face from this plight.  So, you better watch out, you better not taut- 'cause I ain't goin out with out a damn loud shout.

It works every time.

Kate Moss Sober Enough for Chanel

Pete & Kate 4 Eva.jpgAccording to Chanel’s company head designer, Karl Lagerfeld, druggie Kate Moss is expected to reunite with the French firm.  Chanel famously dumped the catwalk queen last year for her nose being involved in a less fortunate purpose, snorting cocaine. 

Lagerfeld states, “I think she will be more successful than ever.  Chanel will sign her.  She is born to survive.” 

I rather see Kate Moss’ campaign as, ‘Kate Moss.  Born to be with charlie.’

Kate made news of another sort last week with ex-boyfriend Pete Doherty.  If ever there was an example of a true punk rocker, it’s Pete Doherty.  Erratic behavior, constantly in trouble with the law & causing a ruckus and, as always, sex and drugs.

After Doherty left court last Thursday after another appearance on drug charges, the 26-year-old Baby Shambles frontman ran to his gold Jaguar from the Thames Magistrates’ Court in east London.  Surrounded by photographers, fans & on-lookers, Doherty used a  felt-tip pen to scrawl “I love Kate 4 eva” on the windshield.  He also wrote “QPR” in a tribute to his favorite European football team, Queens Park Rangers, before he drove off into the London traffic with horn blaring.

What a sweetie.  If I was Kate, I would instantly take the boy back, after all- he did remember to write her name before his favorite football team, right?  Ole Kate is the perfect mate for Pete, don’t ya think?  Both a little bit crazy and always with their nose in the white stuff.

No Need for Slaughter, Madonna Vows to Never Act Again

Madonna & Britney.jpgHooray!  A life has been spared, we no longer need to kill Madonna if she ever acts in another movie!  No more Shanghai Surprise, Swept Away or Body of Evidence!  Hooray!  I’m doing the ‘We Don’t Have to Kill Madonna’ jig!  Zippedy doo!  She has saved us all the trouble!

The pop superstar explains the recent save-you-career move, “What film can survive people saying it’s going to be a bomb from the second it’s announced?”

Well, at least she’s a realist.  She goes on to say, ” Making movies is such an effort,  And to do that over and over again, with the possibility that I am going to get the shit kicked out of me- and they really enjoy doing it- I mean, it doesn’t make sense.  I have to sort of let it go.”

I think she knew that her life was going to come to a sudden end if she indeed made another movie; that hernia was just a little taste of what she had coming. 

Madonna also made news this week by that silly stuff that kids say.  The April edition of Out magazine reports that Madonna’s nine-year-old daughter Lourdes recently asked her mother if she was gay.

“(Lourdes) is really obsesses with who is gay,” Madonna told Out.  ” And she even asked, ‘Mom, you know they say that you are gay?’  And I’m, ‘Oh, do they?  Why?’  And she says, ‘Because you kissed Britney Spears.’”

“And I said, ‘No, it just means I kissed Britney Spears.  I am the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star.  And I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her.’” 

And I am the barfing blogger and you are the barfing blogger receiver.  And I am spilling my cookies for you, to pass on this load of crap.

Never Change Horses In Midstream, Howard Stern.

Howard the Janet Jackson Baby Head1.jpgAbraham Lincoln was a man before his time- wise, genuine, humble, fortunate, a perseverer.  Howard Stern, however, is a man of his time and not really wise or humble, he is financially fortunate and a sexual perseverer, but quite honestly, he looks like a head coming out of Janet Jackson’s vagina.  You see it now, don’t you?

Well, little Honest Howie is being sued by CBS’s radio division.  They claim that the hilarious and endearing jockey breached his contract when he started working for Sirius Satellite Radio last month.  The lawsuit also states that Stern improperly used CBS radio’s air time to promote his new show with Sirius and claims that Stern discussed his plans with the satellite radio company without disclosing them to CBS, as required by his contract. 

Stern counters their accusations by advancing that CBS officials knew of his plans to shill for Sirius and gave approval for his references to satellite radio on the air and did nothing to stop him when he spoke about it on his show.

The above pic of Stern is taken at a news conference yesterday where Stern discussed the case against him.  He unprecedently spoke eloquently, and straight from the heart.

Members of the world:  I am becoming an institution of the country; that is useful in more ways than one; that bring us together, and thereby make us better acquainted, and better friends than we otherwise would be.

From the first appearance of man upon the earth, down to very recent times, the words “stranger” and “enemy” were quite or almost, synonymous.  This has not totally disappeared. The man of the highest moral cultivation, in spite of all which abstract principle can do, likes him whom he does know, much better than him whom he does not know. To correct the evils, great and small, which spring from want of sympathy, and from positive enmity, among strangers, as nations, or as individuals, is one of the highest functions of civilization.

To this end I contribute in no small degree.  I make more pleasant, and more strong, and more durable, the bond of social and political union among us. Again, if as Pope declares, “happiness is our being’s end and aim,” our Fairs contribute much to that end and aim, as occasions of recreation — as holidays. Constituted as man is, he has positive need of occasional recreation; and whatever can give him this, associated with virtue and advantage, and free from vice and disadvantage, is a positive good. Such recreation our Fairs afford. They are a present pleasure, to be followed by no pain, as a consequence; they are a present pleasure, making the future more pleasant.”

I am speechless, stunned, unable to continue.  Stern has affected me to my very soul.  Who knew that the Janet-Jackson-Vagina-Head could speak so fluently and deliberately to the core of, not only American existence, but the world as we know it.  I am in awe of his being and at one with his thoughts.  Howard, I must have you!

Tonya Harding Still Sucks

Tonya Harding Boxing.jpgTonya Harding is in the news yet again, but not for being a hitlady.  Tonya’s been multi-tasking and trying on various personalities.  From a born-again Christian singer (who never sang a word without getting at least one “boo”), to boxing (yes, I said boxing) to a new series on GSN airing March 12 entitled “Anything to Win“, Tonya has been a busy bee. 

From the above paragraph what interests you the most?  Was it A- What the hell is a hitlady?  Which would of course be the counterpart of the hitman.  Was it B- Multi-tasking, and thinking to yourself that you’ve heard that phrase from your boss’s lips too many times?  Or was it C- BOXING?!!

Yes, Tonya hung up her dainty little ice skates and donned some fleshy meat to her body and added boxing gloves.  She has spent the last few years as a professional boxer and has appeared on the show “Celebrity Boxing” where she pummeled Bill Clinton accuser Paula Jones. 

Regarding her boxing style, Harding said, “If you knock me down, I don’t care, I’ll get right up (with a long, sharp machete).  I’m like the Energizer bunny.  Usually the one who talks the loudest is the loser.” 

Confirming the fact that she is a manipulative beast who waits until you least expect it to strike her decisive and deadly blow to your head. 

Wow, Tonya Harding boxing.  It does kinda fit.  Go with what you know, if you’re a batty back-stabbing bitch, release your aggression thru entertaining and legal violence.  I guess it’s kinda like if Michael Jackson headed up No Child Left Behind.  Sorry, I couldn’t resist that one.

Reese Witherspoon Rests Atop Julia Roberts

reese witherspoon.jpg

Reese Witherspoon, 29, has surpassed big-mouth Roberts, 38, to become the highest paid actress of all time. 

The Walk The Line chin-prone starlet will earn $29 million for the upcoming horror film Our Family Trouble- beating the $24 million Julia Roberts was paid for Mona Lisa Smile- why, oh why did they do that movie?

Interestingly, these two top women are both from the southern states; Witherspoon hails from New Orleans while Roberts claims small town Smyrna, Georgia as her home.  Which just goes to show you that the South may have lost the Civil War, but they’ve clearly won the battle to produce the most appealing females celebrities. 

Another tid bit regarding Reese that was in the news today- the body of the paparazzo that harassed Mrs. Witherspoon last September has been positively identified, no one felt that a negative identity was appropriate at this time, by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office. 

An issue for 44-year-old photographer Todd Kevin Wallace’s arrest was issued in December after he failed to show up for a bail hearing relating to charges in the Witherspoon incident.  In September he became angry and threatening when Reese and her friends declined to be photographed while at a children’s amusement park.  He reportedly struck a five-year-old girl and shoved two park employees while under the spell of aggression and disappointment.

Lesson to be learned- don’t mess with the Reese, ’cause you might end up sleeping with the fishes, biting the dust, kicking the bucket, buying the farm, paying the piper or just plain whacked. 

The southern belle is expected to with the ‘Best Actress’ Academy Award this Sunday for her acclaimed role in the Johnny Cash biopic.

Sperm-Donating Federline Makes News

Federline & Spears.jpg

Newsweek sat down with dancer and perpetual father Kevin Federline to discuss his new role as white-boy rapper.  Federline seems prepared for the backlash this musical move will make.

Quoting his critics, Federline tells us, “He hates his children, he treats his wife like dirt, he gets high all day….  If I was that bad, you think anyone, let alone Britney, would put up with it?”

Ummm, yes.  Though I doubt we need a “Free Britney” campaign.

The fertile Federline plans to release his debut album by this spring, but without featuring his loving and dear wife on the album. 

“We have collaborated, but I’m not going to put the songs on this album because it’s like, ‘Respect me first; then I’ll show you what I’ve done with my wife.”

Ummm, OK.  Like making her into a dribbling, baby-toting idiot?  Yeah, Kev, we know.

Let’s talk Kevin for a minute.  Let’s go back to where it all gets so icky- early 2004.  So, he’s in a long-term relationship with Moesha star, Shar Jackson.  They already have a daughter, born in 2002, and she is six-months pregnant with a son.  At this point Federline dances into the Louisiana heart of Britney Spears and the rest is distasteful history. 

Let me get this straight, he leaves his pregnant girlfriend, waves goodbye and does an I’ll-send-you-a-check-and-see-them-on-the-weekends-I-remember kind of thing and some poor saps out there are going to buy his lackluster album and support behavior such as this?  Maybe we need “Free the Poor Saps” t-shirts. 

My apologies, but if your September 18, 2004 wedding consisted of the groomsmen wearing  matching warm-up suits marked with the word “Pimps” and the wedding fare was chicken wings, ribs, mini cheeseburgers, crab cakes, and Waldorf salad followed by drinks at a nightclub on Sunset Boulevard paid out of your own pocket on top of leaving your pregnant girlfriend, you’re off my “I’m going to buy your album” list.

The New New Bond Girl

Eva Green.jpgWell, it looks like another Bond girl has been chosen.  Will it pan out?  Only time will tell.  Actresses Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Scarlett Johansson have all turned down the role, possibly due to the ‘bond girl curse’.  It seems like any woman who plays the temptress of 007 is just waiting for her career to hit a dead end. 

The one and only Popsugar had some good thoughts on the matter:

I almost don’t care anymore, but it is Bond, and the chicks are the best part, so I had to keep up with the news. Page Six reports the big announcement has been made and sexy Eva Green is the winner. They report:

FRENCH stunner Eva Green is the new Bond Girl. The “Kingdom of Heaven” cutie will appear as 007 Daniel Craig’s arm candy in the upcoming “Casino Royale,” sources say. Green, who appeared nude in Bernardo Bertolucci’s steamy “The Dreamers,” beat out her closest rival, Olivia Wilde, who recently appeared on several episodes of “The O.C.” Green, 25, snapped up a role that was reportedly turned down by Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron and Thandie Newton. Sony chiefs greenlighted Green this week after flying her to Prague for a screen test with Craig.

No matter the lady, I’m sure we’re going to be delighted with big explosions, fancy & fast cars, John Cleese humor and all the fun we can handle in Casino Royale.

 

 



Dave Chappelle Fills Oprah’s Ear

 

dave.jpgWe all wondered, we all pondered, what happened to Dave, the comedian and Comedy Central blockbuster host of Chappelle’s Show?  Rumors of drug abuse or just plain crazy stretched the horizon regarding his abrupt departure during mid-production of the third season of his show. 

He told Oprah toady that he was stressed, not high on crack or joining ranks with an African tribe.  In his first television interview since leaving Chappelle’s Show, Dave said that after he signed a $50 million deal for the third & fourth seasons, he felt people were trying to control him & the direction of his show.

“I wasn’t crazy but it is incredibly stressful,” said Chappelle.  ” I felt in a lot of instances I was deliberately being put through stress because when you’re a guy who generates money people have a vested interest in controlling you.”

The status of his show has hung in limbo since last May.  Chappelle has not ruled out returning to film the rest of the third & fourth season, but only under certain circumstances.  One example he gave regarding those circumstabces was being able to give a portion of the proceeds from his DVD sales to the less fortunate. 

Whatever those circumstances, it’s good to have you back, Dave. 



Destiny’s Destiny Remains Undefined

Destiny_s_Child.jpg

Well, it looks like the Beyonce troupe will never say goodbye. It all just feels so familiar, like the ’72 Bowie retirement announcement, or the Kiss goodbye, or even the Eagles, The Who and the all-time cakesniffer herself, Cher.

Last November Jimmy Kimmel dedicated an entire show, a first for the ABCer, to the purported adieu of Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland & Michelle Williams. Now, three months after their exhaustedly promoted farewell performance, the eight-time Grammy winners are scheduled to reunite for yet another go round at the 2006 NBA All-Star game in Houston February 19.

While the trio have billed the show as its final adios, Rowland said a reunion would not be out of the question. “You never know,” said Rowland when asked if the group might re-team in the future. “I think the most beautiful thing is that we’re not parting because there were problems. We’re parting because we’re celebrating each other’s growth.”

As for the ladies, Knowles, who won middle-of-the road praise in Austin Powers, Goldmember, can be seen in theatres February 10 in the remake of The Pink Panther- keep your eyes open for GossipyGower’s review. Rowland has her second album due out at your local music store June 13, while Williams’ next Christian music project may be available this summer.

I’m absolutely certain that gaggling thousands will be tuned into TNT for the All-Star, long awaited reunion of Destiny’s Child. I, myself, can’t wait for the 2007 reunion, and all those following. Cheers.
