Despite some cool flicks early on in your career, you sir, have become a nasty hater with no use on our shores.
You’ve been banned from the island for your boorish, misogynistic tirades.
Be sober and get a new personality and heart — or be gone.
Rock bottom celebrity.
This dude at once activates our gag reflex and also humanizes a sad sitch. Yep, we think he cares about Lindsay. But, he’s used it to shamlessly promote himself — whatever it is that he actually DOES.
This family is beyond therapy. Maybe electroshock. Lobotomy. Island for fame lepers?
We’re open for ideas. Oy.
Evidence of real psychopathy — Lindsay Lohan appearing in court with a fingernail air-brushed with the words “F–k you.”
She knew full well her every move would be captured on film and camera. And yet, she creates drama with this bimbo stunt.
Yes she needs rehab. But she needs jail for being such an entitled brat.
We’re glad the judge said F-U back.
Joy “Menopause has dried up my brain” Behar cracked on the home-schooled kids on “The View,” saying some of them are mentally deranged.
Is she on crack? Because last time we checked, homeschooled kids were outpacing publicly educated students by leaps and bounds. And ya know, the one’s we’ve met are not only nice, moral and decent, but they tend to know a thing or two about the constitution. And they do well in college. And some come from families who might (GASP) love God and think that is important in their children’s lives. There ya go. We said it. That’s probably what is objectionable to her. AS IF.
She needs to educate herself (on a lot of things) instead of flapping her jowled trap like some leftist in need of psycho-pharmaceuticals. We’d love to see her take a test on U.S. history against a couple of homeschoolers. THAT would be fabulously good TV.
Damn, James Otto delivered. One guy, one guitar, big stage and an original voice. Folks paid attention because he sounded GOOD! Dude, we know very little about you but you rocked.
We hope country can embrace Darius Rucker, who sort of gives country a soulful, Dave Matthews vibe. His voice is totally unique. And we don’t care what the purists said, the music of Hootie still resonates. It’s beautiful and fun and it makes us so happy when we hear it.
He deserved the warm reception.
In other news: Taylor Swift. Now SHE looks like a teenager. Fresh. Age-appropriate and truly talented.
For our money, Reba McEntire still has top vocal chops. She puts a real emotional voice on any song, ya know. Her vocal signature is golden, even after all these years. Lots to learn from her.
Brad Paisley……again, he’s a sexual zero. Jake Owen, seriously cute, but who manages this dude cause his potential seems way untapped? Did not think the George Strait record was better than the Chesney disk, but Strait is so iconic and a defender of the old school that he gets a lot of props. We can dig it.
So, we are watching the CMA Awards and super-underwhelmed thus far. For our money, committed Michigander Kid Rock put on a better show than nearly everyone on the stage. And he ain’t exactly country. But he is always entertaining and his unit is super-tight.
Most of the performances were dreadful. We like Kelly Pickler a lot, but man, she was out of key for most of her song. A lot of the other acts were dull, too. What’s with the leather get-ups? A few ladies there seem a little long in the tooth for that. We’d like also to mention that Jennifer Nettles needs a little better eye make-up. She looks natural, but we think she could use a bit more glam. Loved her dress. Miley Cyrus… just looks a bit rough for a teen, no? Perhaps she’s just tired from all of the acting, singing and dating and teen-queening. Or something. She just should look a bit fresher and yet she seems leagues behind her years.
The state of country is kinda lame. We think that lead singer for Lady Antebellum is kinda sorta cute, but country lacks truly attractive male stars these days. Some talented heartthrob deperately needs to break. Keith Urban can’t be the only hottie in the line-up. A lot of these dudes are just chubby and gimmicky. Kenny Chesney can’t be the only keeper of the fit body, right? He certainly has made the most of his assets, but the rest of this show crew is a little doughy. And candidly, a lot of the back-up musicians and singers are 7-times cuter than the stars. Didya see Jason Aldean’s band? We rest our case, cuter than the headliner.
Brad Paisley, probably not the greatest choice of a host. His music is Grade B, but not an engaged personality. We prefer Vince Gill but he’s always the host. Paisley’s little wife seems funny tho…..more later. We’re on a tangent and still watching.
We hope all you little divas-in-training are watching “Entourage” this season. It’s the most fabulous show on TV. HBO, 10 p.m. Sundays, with repeats throughout the week.
We think the most watchable character on TV is Ari. We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again. He’s genius and this past week’s episode proved it. He is played by the actor Jeremy Piven. We hope this show never goes off TV, so watch, watch, watch. There are instructive diva lessons, even in this dude. Like how to get your way and how to successfully turn a power play.
There is even a Web site devoted to Ari’s best quotes. You must check it out.
Hey, at least Obama has good taste in help. While we had previously dismissed him as a Clinton operative — cue gag reflex — we do have to say that the new White House chief of staff is kinda hottie.
Seriously. Most of the Hill types are duller than dirt and as festive as beige, but this guy is cute. Plus, there is the added bonus that his brother sparked the character Ari from the HBO show “Entourage.” Ari is the our favorite character on TV, so much so that in our diva lair, we call it “The Ari Show.”
We look forward to seeing future members of the cabinet. We hope they are similarly attractive. Because looking good is governing good… or something like that.
We’re trying to be hopeful. We really are.
Kim Cattrall, post-50 vixen extraordinaire, let the er, ahem… cat out of the bag. A “Sex and the City” sequel is forthcoming. Let divas worldwide hope and pray that they can get this one done without the supersized drama.
We love our girls… and we miss them ever so. We can’t wait to catch up and hope they can shoot this in time for summer. Wouldn’t that be parfait!
We loved John McCain on “Saturday Night Live.” He was more open and funnier than we expected. The bit about a “Republican without money” Sublime. Loved the blank plates. Obama shoulda done the townhalls with him, providing a better contrast.
Supercool that his little blonde wife (LBW) came on as the QVC presenter. Ya know, if she wasn’t already so darned rich, she kinda looks like a QVC presenter. Following along with that note…. why hasn’t she spiked his campaign with the big bucks to make up for the Obama windfall? Just curious.
We think the polls are capturing a close race based on individual voters, but it’s the electoral college that will kill McCain on Tuesday.
Whew…..it’s almost over. Be cooler if it were more of a horserace. Some Senate and House seats will certainly provide that action, tho. November 5th will probably be a tough day to be a Republican, we surmise.
Think of all the good it would have done people who are suffering in this economy if Obama had spent that money on help and not on some infomerical… which was boring.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
And allow us to say that it seemed utterly ridiculous, if not pompous. Plus, he lied about the campaign finance stuff.
There ya go……nuff said.
We have a serious celebrity love jones for Daniel Craig, who now plays James Bond. He’s oddly attractive and not so conventional. We always dig the weird ones best.
Apparently the suspect in the Jennifer Hudson family murders is a member of the famed Gangster Disciples street gang. While some claim gang activity in Chicago is not out of hand, it would appear otherwise. Someone needs to take control of that city and stop the violence. Seriously.
We hear a coterie of celebs are going to turn out for Hudson’s family memorial services. We hope they show her love and support. She’s gonna need it after this tragedy.
Finally, Cloris Leachman, bless her heart, is off of Dancing With the Stars. We suppose viewers grew tired of the gimmick. She was funny but this is a dance show. Susan Lucci, altho lovely, looks too wooden. We think she’s the next to go. We think Lance Bass seems to likeable and his partner a real champion of dancing — she always performs 110 percent.
Those housewives in Atlanta are despicable. We haven’t seen anyone so self-absorbed since like high school. They are pathetic and spoiled and dreadful.
Jeremy Piven is once again turning this season of HBO’s Entourage into must-watch TV. Seriously, Sunday nights at 10 p.m. He’s insane as Ari. We love it so much we call it the Ari show.
Not that we believe it’s anything more than a fictionalized account of the life of the prez. But for Oliver Stone, it was quality filmmaking and it lacked a lot of the Michael Moore-style cheap shots that make a lot of that type of left-wing political skewering unwatchable.
Josh Brolin is fab as Dubya, a really amazing performance. Lots of well-knowns round out the cast of presidential cabinet characters.
We recommend. We thought we’d hate it, but we didn’t at all.
Galpal Courtenay writes us in exasperation today: “What the F is up with Katie Holmes? That picture with her and Tom at the Hermes cocktail reception on the People site… a 3-piece pin striped suit??!! With her hair and those clothes? That pair is looking like the photographic negative image of Ellen and Portia??!! She is a beautiful girl and it looks like she’s becoming a clone of her husband. Just freaky. Please explain. Did her stylist die? Get fired by the Scientology freaks?”
A very good and timely question. And we agree, for the most part. She looks like a unisexual zombie, pale, somber and a mere shell of the lovely woman who married him in Italy not so long ago. It’s starting to creep us out, too.
Whaddya think? Her little girl Suri is lovely. Could Katie be happy or is she going along in this weird world that she’s lost control over. Something doesn’t feel right.
Didya see the TMZ footage of country star Kenny Chesney bald as a baby’s butt as he roams around Malibu in the off-season? It looks like he’s makin’ it his new post-tour getaway and keeping out of the Caribbean where he keeps a second home and gets chased by rabid fans.
But seriously, he looks a helluva lot better without the hat tricks, no? He doesn’t need to hide behind a baseball hat. Bald is fine. He’s 40 and mega-famous. Rock steady, dude.
We are hearing that our queen, Madonna, may offer hubbie Guy a $60 million settlement to let it all go away quietly. Given the publicity, we think it’s a good thing. It’s a sum she won’t miss.
Now, she can move to New York and pick up with A-Rod. Cause ya know that’s gonna happen. Stay tuned.
Not even, in a side by side comparison…..does SNL’er Tina Fey match up with Sarah Palin.
Liked the opening. Especially when she told that big-headed creep Alec Baldwin that she liked Stephen best. Come to think of it, we do too.
And we still like Sarah a lot as well. Even after all the criticism, we think she’s bright and engaging and not stupid like the liberals want to paint her. We think she’s a total star and feminist hottie — which is why all the ugly women’s rights folks can’t stand her. Pretty and successful — they can’t stand it.
AS IF.
Oy, Madge……so it didn’t work out. We’re not surprised. Not many men in this world can live up to your creative force. Yes, you’re tough, but you’re also fab. We figured this would happen eventually. Guy Ritchie’s star is falling, you keep reinventing yourself to international acclaim. He’s baggage. You need to pick another cute guy to live with but bag the whole marriage crap. You need companionship but without all the heartache.
Hold onto the money, sister. You need Sir Paul McCartney’s attorney. A serious fortune is at stake and you need to protect yourself if this turns nasty.
We hope you are ok. We’ll have to take a little down time to cope. We’ll also need an adult beverage straightaway. First you announce your split. And then Nancy Reagan is hospitalized. It’s been a dark diva day.
We are so divaliciously busy, we have roots. ROOTS. No time to get to the salon for a quick fix either.
Still, we are delighted to see so many bona fide movie stars on television these days. Harvey Keitel is suitably insane on “Life on Mars.” Still totally crazy after all these years. Christian Slater, another of our favorite insane actors posse members, is back on “My Own Worst Enemy,” which kinda sounds like a biopic for him. Angela Bassett, who is far too good for the small screen, is now a top doc on “ER,” while Selma Blair is giving up the yucks with former-SNL star Molly Shannon on “Kath & Kim,” among many others.
We should be into the new “Desperate Housewives” but we aren’t. It just isn’t hitting us, although we are eager to see a new episode of “Lipstick Jungle,” by far our fave.
We hear Janet Jackson and Madonna may soon be living in Miami. Madge is gonna work on a new record with her former junior collaborator Justin Timberlake. Janet and her boy Jermaine Dupri visit Miami often and dig the area. A host of others make homes there including Missy Elliott and Diddy. We can totally understand the appeal. SOBE is as rockin’ as ever. If you go, visit the Standard Hotel. They have bathtubs on outdoor terraces to their rooms. So sexy, taking a bath outdoors. And the pool atmosphere is unmatched. Very Euro and fun.
We are considering a winter vacation to the Virgin Islands and a stay at Caneel Bay, the resort on St. John. If there is a nicer place, please tell us. Cause this is beyond peaceful and gorgeous in an old-school way.
In other news, it’s not cool to call things “gay” when you think they are bad. This from a new public relations campaign featuring a ton of celebs including Hillary Duff. Memba her? What does she do for a living? We forgot. And has that Mischa Barton acted at all lately? She is also one of the Young Hollywooders who are kinda career MIA.
We think Hugh Hefner ought to rethink his relationship with Holly. He’s no spring chicken and strangely, we thought she really loved him. We know she wants kids and a marriage. Why does he balk? We think he’s making a huge mistake. Even for him and his playboy reputation, the bimbo parade is kinda tired. Go get her Hef and make her an honest woman before you have a stroke and are in the nursing home. Seriously.
