Star and Barbara Throw Down!!

Celebrity Death Match 2006! I love Hollywood pettiness. It makes me feel so well adjusted. Star is upset about bing fired and Babs is pissed about being made out as the bad guy. The only thing is, nobody likes Star Jones. She's obnoxious. Really the only reason they kept her around is to fill in the diversity quota and pick up a demographic. Problem...your own demographic finds you "out of touch and unrelatable". Babs has been around the block. Good luck taking on this savy juggernot of the media circus. Rumur has it she has henchmen....alls I'm saying.

Celebrity People Skills or Lack There Of

Below are a few fine examples of why celebs hire mouth pieces. A friend of mine told me at lunch that water always settles at the level it belongs. Perhaps you can put a person in Hollywood but you can totally transform them into amazing frescos...eventually the cracks will show. Besides the fact that we all know Naomi has been insane for years, I couldn't help but watch that Britney interview. It was like watching a car accident, you can not not look. She is the epitomy of the blackhole of celebritydome and I bet her PR guy is earning his money. I'm just curious how far she will sink and if it is possible for her to ever get out of this downward spiral.

Save Screech


http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=225647&GT1=7703

You knew him as the annoying sidekick Samuel "Screech" Powers to the 80's hearthrob Zac Morris on "Saved By The Bell." Now he's being evicted. This is just an article I came by the other day and wondered how many 80's child stars are in the same plight. They star for years in a highly lucrative franchise and then get dropped when agents decide they no longer have that sexy or or in this case dorky appeal. This is when they learn the fated hollywood lesson that you need to read your contract before you sign it. They still run "Saved By The Bell" like ten times a day on TBS...I know this from my mono days. Screech got screwed over.l

St Johns: a city that is in no way like the island

I was in St. Johns on business and thought I would wander around and find my Aunt who was allegedly getting married there today. Never ran into her or her fiancĂ© which surprised me because the population of that city is like 50 people…alright, alright, it just seems that way.

Of course she is down in the Caribbean. Good thing too. Though I have nothing against John Deere, I don’t think riding off into the sunset on an old tractor with a “Just Married” sign would be her scene.
Give me an island in the sun any day! Hope they enjoy the vacation abroad.
Congradulations Jeannette and Greg!

George Sticks His Foot In His Mouth

President Bush: Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?
Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times: I can take them off.
Bush: I'm interested in the shade look, seriously.
Wallsten: All right, I'll keep it, then.
Bush: For the viewers, there's no sun.
Wallsten: I guess it depends on your perspective.
Bush: Touché.

Oh well!

My dreams of being a professional Paper, Rock, Scissors Champ went up in smoke today while I was practicing with the neighbor kids in the stairwell. The agony of defeat was realized when I went zero for five.

Instead of going home to cry (which I did later) I dazzled them by whistling a tune. They can’t whistle and I refused to show them because I figure they could learn to be a little more humble.

Is this worth reporting?

Click the title.

Paper, Rock, Scissors is not just for the playground any more.

This is either the most colossal waste of time or an awsome game. It reminds me of trick bowling but it requires no skill and an aptitude for probability. These people take it seriously...see the below quotes from this article.

'Bissett, 21, used some unorthodox techniques on his way to earning the title. In the semifinals, he threw a triple-paper, confusing his opponent. A throw of rock in the finals earned him the title and the trip.'

'"His rock’s getting solid, we’re working on his scissors," Bentley said.'

The best part is this guy got served by a six year old girl. Burn! Oh this makes me laugh.



P.S. Mom, I decided what I want to do with my life.

25 Ain't No Jive!



Today is my younger brother’s birthday. I have to say “younger” instead of “little” obviously, as you can see…I got nothing! Such is life! He turns the big 25 today.
