Sorry that we’ve been off the reservation, so to speak, for so long. Our vast social commitments have kept us away from the posts. Nonetheless, we return in fine form today with news that Oliver Stone may direct a “Wall Street” sequel.

Few cinematic characters have captivated us the way Michael Douglas’ financial titan Gordon Gekko did. The “greed is good” speech was Ayn Rand delicious. Not that we totally agree. Capitalism and free markets are good. Greed can get you into some bad shit. 

But we eagerly await the return of the totally watchable Gekko. We hope Charlie Sheen will return as well as the movie was perhaps one of his best roles EVER.

Stay tuned!

Are the best celeb twitterers ever! It’s fun to see them interact in such a cute way.

Mayer has a great sense of humor and also seems literate, a good wordsmith. Who knew? Nothing a bigger turn on than a man who can banter, even if we are still holding that “bubblegum tongue” song against him.

Ignoring Lindsay

Wouldn’t it be great that when Lindsay Lohan has another meltdown and is carted intoxicated out of some club, that the celeb media just ignores her?

Seriously. Just pretend it didn’t happen and let her sort it out like regular people have to. Be a great tactic. Probably stop her, at least in a quest for attention.

Britney’s weed walkout

Dontcha think Britney Spears walking out of a concert performance because folks in the crowd were smoking too much weed is kinda a little self-righteous, given her history? 

These fans supported her when she was psychotic and yet she prances off after 3 songs saying “Don’t smoke weed.” AS IF. If we were a fan, we’d post to her Web site: “Don’t buy music.”

Ridiculous.

Not some kennel-bred pedigree.

Think of the goodness the Obamas could have spread, the example they could have set for future pet owners.

We have so many unwanted animals in this country. Thousands are killed everyday.

Get your pets from the shelter or a rescue group, not from kennels, people. So-called mutts give the best love and need good homes.

Shame on the First Family for making a poor choice.

Seriously, the new Liz Claiborne line by Isaac Mizrahi merits serious notice. Normally, we only use this space to gack about celebrities, but we were at a mall and took in the new Isaac-wear and strangely, we are in love with the Liz.

Skirts, tops, fun…..shoes, ADORABLE.  Even the purses are deluxe.

We never thought we’d type this, but it’s true. Check it out for yourselves and get back to us.

Seriously….

G20 Frat Party is over…

Is is just us or did Obama seem like the president of Delta House over there at the summit? Flashing a thumbs up and all giggly smiles, he looked a bit frat boy as he manned up with the global homies on the world stage. 

We’re sure they liked him. But do they trust him? So boyish looking amid all that power. 

All we’re sayin….

Safe, not entirely unfortunate. Lacking in imagination, but totally appropriate. When you’re tall, stuff looks good. And yet, we’d hoped for more sass, more couture. All this American-inspired whatever is taking us down. Seriously.

Maybe all this rioting is over the bizarre average-ness of her wardrobe. 

Or not.

Good clothes solve all problems, some wise sage once said. You can look it up.

In this screwball economy,  as we go deeper in debt every day, thanks to that economic freakshow that is the Obama administration, we are totally opening our hearts again to Mittens.

He is kinda wooden and freaky looking. But he did have some good ideas on the economy, a healthy free-market approach. And we’ll need someone who can dig us out of the Obama mess in a few years. 

This new world socialism is killing us. It really is. It’s so awful, we don’t even feel like buying shoes. AS IF.

Fortunately, Angie Harmon, the tall, slim Texas actress who plays the DA on “Law & Order,” has the courage to say she doesn’t support Obama. She’s no racist, she just doesn’t agree with him and hasn’t jumped on the celebrity bandwagon that says we must all think the same way or be ostracized.

Hey, she got a cute, rich husband if the work falls off. Seriously. If you aren’t a liberal in La-La Land, it’s tough.

That Holly Madison Playboy girl is lovely and wooden. Sit her on the bed, pose her, kiss her. She is kind of like a glamorous blow-up doll.

That Steve dude, the little squat nerd, inspires us with his positivity, even if he can’t dance. Be true to your school — and he is!

The Frenchie, Giles, got us all… ahem… moist with that Argentinian tango. Guess who also is an Argentinian tango enthusiast? Robert Duvall. Yep, the actor. No kidding.

Lawrence Taylor, the NFL dude, is also a exercise in determination. He is committed and works hard, even as much of the movements are tough on a big guy.

Oh yeah, and if we could all just enjoy the joy that is Steve-O. What fun would the world be!!!!

Be kind to Madge on Malawi

She’s trying to do good. Maybe it’s easier for her to swoop in and adopt an orphan. But we think her heart is in the right place, even as the haters smack her down at every turn, but everything, thinking the worst. 

As if.

Perhaps she can give some young child a better life — and shine a light on the need to adopt.

So many kids here and abroad who need family. We should remember them.

IT SUCKS….YES, WE ARE SCREAMING, TYPING IN ALL-CAPS. BECAUSE IT’S THAT BAD. 

OBAMMY IS ON JAY LENO. WE HOPE IT’S A CONCILIATORY VISIT. CAUSE HE’S SCREWING UP AMERICA AND SPENDING US INTO A DAMNED BLACK HOLE. SERIOUSLY. AIG? HIS ADMINISTRATION CAN’T POLICE THE VERY FOLKS IT BAILED OUT. AMATEUR NIGHT AT THE APOLLO!!!!!

HE NEEDS DIVA-NOMICS: LESS GOVERNMENT MEANS MORE FREEDOM AND MORE BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP. MORE OF THAT EQUALS MORE JOBS AND MORE SPENDING. MORE SPENDING EQUALS COOLER STUFF. COOLER STUFF, MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER AND FUNNER AND PRETTIER. 

AND DON’T WE ALL NEED THAT.

THE DIVA IS A GODDESS AND A PATRIOT.

TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES…….

Dear Amy Winehouse…

Leave Blake Incarcerated… Incarcerated.

Stay clean and sober — and away from your enabler.

Sure you love him. We know how THAT goes.

Big mistake…. listen to your dad. Don’t go back and ruin your career — and life!

WE ADORE KARL ROVE….

We know it’s probably not cool to admit, but we think he’s just fabulous. And smart. And so much more. The media tried so hard to take a chunk out of him during the Bush admin, but golly, he’s superb on Fox News doing political analysis.

Him, I believe.

Bad, journos. Bad. Even our diva galpals — who love every dark moment of celeb gossip — are pissed at the shoddy reporting done on the Natasha Richardson ski accident story.

In their clamor for information, some reported this story wrongly. Stunning to read someone’s obit on one site and then read that she’s alive on others.

Even in celebrity journalism, ya gotta do a honest job. No wonder folks don’t trust the media. Most expect better, even from the bottom-feeders, particularly when it’s life and death.

BE CAREFUL PEOPLE!

Not so much love for the chicks, but the boys tonight rocked hard on the country music. Seriously fascinating and musical performances. Most unexpected. We are totally loving this season. The Michigan dude may be our fave. That was a bigtime piano man moment!

Carson Daly just had a kid…

But dontcha think that the skinnier he gets, the weirder his head is shaped?

His head always looks so darned odd. All we’re sayin.

We wish him well on his little Carson tyke. Lots of celebs birthin out of wedlock these days. We give Ashley Simpson Wentz credit. At least she made it legal with the bambino.

So, we aren’t a huge fan, but there is nothing like a prez who works the pop culture references.

But yep, there was President Obammy lauding the value of small business and mentioning Cheese Whiz in reference to the cheese steak sandwich. Dude, do ya think perhaps he and the missus secretly spray on the Whiz upstairs in the presidential quarters whilst they are snacking?

Man of the people. We bet it’s so. Cool.

It’s just a bad addition to her ongoing image problem. Sure, her attorney made the charges go away, but the news of her fighting with Sam and now this public gaffe, whether a legal mess-up or not, will not improve her respectability in her industry.
