Britney Spears has another fender-bender. No injuries. No Police.
Steven Spielberg’s long-gestating biopic of Abraham Lincoln is going ahead at last, with Liam Neeson expected to play the US president who initiated the American civil war.
And finally… Tony Romo dumps Jessica.
What’s the reason why Clinton scored so big in West Virginia? Because West Virginians are morons. (and racists.)
“It’s like stepping into a time machine… It’s hard to believe people lived this way.”
So I just posted a video from SNL featuring Hillary Clinton. As usual, I headed over to the page to make sure the video was embedded right. Much to my surprise, I saw an ad by Google for “Gay Chubby Dating.” Yes, I’m serious.
So just to keep score:
1. Google’s motto: “Do no Evil”
2. Google thinks boobs are bad.
3. Google thinks that showing ads promoting big hairy gay men that want to get together and do it “big gay chubby” style: good.
Looks like David Archuleta has a little bit more to worry about than just the judge’s comments. His dad is now banned from the backstage area of American idol.
The Associated Press and other news outlets reported over the weekend that David Archuleta’s father has been banished from rehearsals by Idol producers.
The reports say that the action came after Jeff Archuleta demanded phrasing from Sean Kingston’s Beautiful Girls be inserted into David’s rendition of Ben E. King’s Stand By Me last week. The change cost the show additional song-clearance fees. The AP cited an unidentified source associated with Idol who was familiar with the situation; an Idol spokesman declined to comment Sunday.
Of course this isn’t the first time David’s dad has been a bit too “hand’s on.” Back when David was just 12 years old, his dad was kicked out of backstage there as well. David’s dad made another contestant cry by berating her backstage. American Idol insiders have also stated that even this year on Idol, David’s dad goes into tirades, yelling at David and making HIM cry.
Oh… poor David. Don’t worry! You can still sell dolls of yourself after the show is over!
An excellent article was written by CHRIS SCHRAMM. If you are interested in the details of this story, please head over to SLAM SPORTS to read the rest of it.

Wow. All I can say is Wow. I never thought anyone… ANYONE could be this stupid. In an effort to help out the people of Burma, Kim Kardashian and her sisters have released this ‘comedy’ video about the plight of the people of Burma. Because you know… horrible treatment of human beings and 100,000 dead needs comedy!
In what she refers to as a “public service announcement,” Kim, along with sisters Kourtney and Khloe, attempt to educate viewers about the tragedy – whilst trying on clothes and checking out her butt in a mirror. No, I’m not kidding.
The reality TV/sex tape star introduces the train wreck footage on her blog with, “I just wanted to share with you how I feel about the tragic cyclone that recently hit Burma.
The death toll may wind up being something astronomical like 100,000 people (I read this on CNN.com). And the country’s government just started accepting aid from other countries (finally!)”
For the idiots out there, a torrent file is a way to share files with others by using a torrent application. I won’t get technical with y’all, it’s just another way of pirating stuff, mostly movies. Now that you are caught up…
One of the biggest Torrent websites out there was called TorrentSpy.com. Let’s remember… Torrent files are not the actually movie, just a way to search for others with that movie that are sharing it. So TorrentSpy.com wasn’t HOSTING anything illegal. Or so they thought.
Late last year TorrentSpy got hit hard by the powers that be, and they ran for the hills. They cut off all visitors with a U.S. IP address. Too little too late. They got shut down a couple weeks ago. Now they owe the movie studios $110 Million dollars.
TorrentSpy bit the dust only weeks ago, shuttering its peer-to-peer file-sharing site. Now a federal judge has ordered the company to pay the Motion Picture Association of America $110 million for infringement of thousands of copyrighted film and TV shows.
In a four-page final ruling issued Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge Florence-Marie Cooper entered the multimillion-dollar judgment against TorrentSpy parent company Valence Media for willfully inducing, contributing and vicariously allowing copyright infringement on its Web site.
Cooper also issued a permanent injunction against the Web site, which shut down March 24.
The MPAA, which represents the Hollywood studios, filed suit against TorrentSpy in February 2006, claiming that the site’s torrent files were illegally uploaded.
So is this the end of Torrent sites as we know them? Not quite. Hollywood was able to go after TorrentSpy because they were once hosted on American soil. Despite it’s best efforts, the long arm of the Hollywood arm can’t reach over seas where such laws don’t exist.
Of course I would NEVER use the torrent system. But if I did, it would only be for p0rn. I never understood downloading a Hollywood movie, and I never have. Despite the fact that (unlike music) it takes hundreds of people to make a movie and those people should get paid, I never wanted to see a grainy cam-corder filmed movie on my computer screen. And even if you got a great bootleg copy that is ALMOST DVD quality, you wouldn’t know until you downloaded it. So basically you are spending all this time to download something that is probably crap, to watch on your crappy computer. What fun is that?
I want superior quality. I want HDMI. I want Blu-Ray. I want surround sound. And I want this only if I don’t go to the theaters. I’ve seen IRON MAN twice in the theaters. I saw it opening night, and then the following Tuesday. I don’t want to go off on a rant here… but opening night RULES! If you get there early enough and get a good seat, there is nothing to compare to the theater experience. Serious fans are there, and the energy is electric. People cheer and laugh. Cry and gasp. You are literally sharing an experience with hundreds of people at the same time.
I admit I’m getting old. I know that the kids love the IMing, the texting, the Xbox Live. And Xbox Live is great, but you are not a serious gamer until you have played head-to-head with another dude on the same arcade game. The crowd forms around you as you grasp the joystick. Your quarters have been up on the machine for hours. You’ve watched and waited for your turn and now you are up. There is no hiding behind a microphone. No cozy couch or basement. It’s you and this other dude. You can smell the sweat from his body, hear the crowd cheer, and feel that slippery joystick or trackball in your hand. This is competition. One chance…
That’s HUMAN interaction, and no matter WHAT technology can come up with, there is nothing like it. Arcades are a thing of the past, let’s not send theaters there as well.
I’m not telling you to stop downloading. If you want to be a thief, that’s your decision. What I am going to do is ASK you to go to the movies this summer. Enjoy it while you can. Enjoy every last bit of it. Enjoy the stale popcorn and the sticky floor. Enjoy the cheering crowds and the hot chick in the row ahead of you. Enjoy holding in your pee because you don’t want to miss a minute of this great thing we call the movies.
Enjoy it… who knows how long we will have it.
Well Madonna set the blogging world ablaze today when this picture of her kissing another woman hit the net. I heard it was an unidentified woman and I heard it was a back-up dancer. Either way, it’s disgusting. I feel dirty just posting this. I guess if you like H.A.G.s (Hot Ass Grandma, lol) then you’ll like this. Personally, after looking at this picture, I’m now regretting the Baconator I had for lunch.
Madonna kissed a female fan on stage last night after telling the audience she loves “Frenching the French”.
The pop superstar was playing a private concert to mark the launch of her latest album ‘Hard Candy’.
Dressed head-to-toe in black, Madonna said to the crowd of 1,500: “Why do I have this relationship with France? I’m always drawn to working with French people - and Frenching French people.
“Viva la France!”
The singer - clutching an electric guitar - then kissed an unidentified woman.
Okay here’s the deal… Barbara Walters went on Oprah yesterday and dished about why Star Jones got the boot from “The View.” In a nutshell Barbara said Star came to them and told them she was having gastric bypass surgery because she was larger than a hippo. But here’s the rub… Star didn’t want to tell the audience or the press, saying she wanted everyone to think she was just on a really good diet and doing pilates. (that’s an exercise, btw.)
So the girls of “The View” had to act like the huge elephant in the room wasn’t shrinking, (pun intended,) therefore reducing the panel to liars. After Barbara got sick of this, she showed Star the door. WHEW.
ANYWHO… Barbara’s new book AUDITION, contains the startling admission that she had a two-year affair with married African-American Sen. Edward Brooke in the 1970s.
With this ammunition, Star Jones, bitter from her fresh divorce, fired back at Barbara:
“It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book,” Jones told Us. “It speaks to her true character.”
What a BIOTCH!
