Mel Gibson is our moral teacher

Oh Mel…. Mel, Mel, Mel.

Note to Mel: If you are going to produce this “masterpiece” and go on all these talk shows and interviews (aka press junket) speaking of all things moral and this and that, then by goodness please practice what you preach son!

I find it so humorous that Mr. Mel was pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving on Friday night. Oh, and not just that. What is ever more funny is that he went on some weird anti-semitic tirade. So, what we do know is that he was, in fact, under the influence of something. I mean, surely he wouldn’t do this sober??

Funny things Mel Gibson said and did while intoxicated:

• "My life is f****d."
• You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you."
• From the officer: Says Mel: He 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."
• "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"
• A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"
• After leaving the bathroom, Gibson then demanded to make a phone call. He was taken to a pay phone and, when he didn't get a dial tone, we're told Gibson threw the receiver against the phone. Deputy Mee then warned Gibson that if he damaged the phone he could be charged with felony vandalism. We're told Gibson was then asked, and refused, to sign the necessary paperwork and was thrown in a detox cell.
  

On Saturday, Gibson released the following statement:

"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the LA County Sheriffs. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person. I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said. Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health."

Oh, and this is recent. Ole Mel has since admitted himself to rehab.

Thanks to TMZ for the quotes

Pamela Anderson getting married in Nashville

and France, and California, and Michigan as well. Yep, thats right, hotties. Pamela Anderson can't get married only one time. Ooooooh Nooooooo. She has to "really, really" get married. (Or is this a ploy to just be able to make four honeymoon tapes a la Tommy Lee?) Either way it's true. The girl must like weddings. She spilled this lovely info recently while donning a white veil at a new conference promoting her new poker site, PamelaPoker.com. (huh? What do the two have in common?) Oh yes, and to further heighten her intelligence, when it was asked how she would cope with her nerves before walking up the aisle, she replied:

"I have two words for you: champagne."

Recent pics of Brad, Angelina and Maddox

Cute family. Obviously, Angelina needs to get back to work soon, because it seems she can only afford one outfit of black tank top and black pants.

N'Sync member is gay!

Lance Bass has reveled he is gay, People has confirmed.

Not that big of a surprise. But still, it's quite a shocker. But, I knew it was coming. He sparked much controversy earlier this week when he was spotted with "Amazing Race" reality TV star Reichen Lehmkuhl at soem gay bars in Provincetown, Mass. Good for him and I'm glad he hopefully is happy. At I'm also glad is he dating a semi-celebrity too. (Ha! Just joking on that one...or am I?)

Damn spell check

Sometimes when you send an email mentioning a "presentation" (and you are a crappy typer) it comes through spell check as "penetration", and you don't catch it. Lovely.

Back in the Habit

Oh, I'm sorry! You thought I was going to talk about Sister Act II?? Well, my hotties, you are sadly mistaken. This is not a post about Whoopi Goldberg as afro-clad Sister Mary Clarence. This is about how I, unfortunately, must get back to real life after taking a week off to tootle around San Francisco. I know what you're thinking. What an odd place to go for a whole week of vacation. Well, then, dammit, why didn't you tell me?? Joking, really. But when you are just walking around doing sight-seeing and such, a week is a long time. But, lucky for me I love clam chowder and Italian food and lots and lots of wine. Because that they had a'plenty.

As for sight-seeing, ask me anything, because you better believe I can tell you. Golden Gate Bridge? Done. Coit Tower? Did it. Lombard Street? Saw it a few times. Nobb Hill? Why did I even go there? Sea Lions at Pier 39? Um, yeah, they swam south. I think I saw one. Rode the Cable Cars? Oh sure. Haight and Ashbury? Why was it so important that I see that? (waaaay before my time). See, I did the family trip thing. And, yes, at 28 years old, you might think I am too old for that. It's not that I am too old, per se, just that after a week of family bonding, you would understand my eagerness to pour wine down my throat by the gallons.

So, now after a week of eating every little creamy and bready thing my heart has desired, sand drinking my weight in alcohol, I simply must begin a new diet to get it back off. So, it’s back on South Beach. Not that I need to, but it would be nice to be 10 or so pounds skinner before the big event. Plus, I like diets. They keep me motivated and on a schedule. They’re fun. And I like to try lots of different ones, just to see how they work. I’m weird, huh? So, now I am on this “must buy trendy new celebrity DVD craze”. I have looked into the belly-dancing, hula, and strip-tease ones. Anyone tried these? Maybe I’ll rent them first through Netflix and see how I like them.

Oh, and don’t worry. You’ll get my uber sarcastic, hopefully witty celebrity scoop soon. I’ll pencil it in between my DVD searching/South Beach schedules.

I wore some flowers in my hair...

Hiya peeps! Miss me? I know you have, so don't lie! I have actually been on vacation. I went to San Fransisco for a week and had mucho fun. Will tell you all about it in a bit when I have more time. But for now, just wanted to say I'm BAAAACCKK!

100 things about Moi

Okay, like soooo many other blogs before me,I am finally getting around to putting together my 100 things list. And it was really hard! So, here it is in case you are interested. I edited out an old post that wasn't very important. LOL.

Nick and Aaron Carter get in a fist fight

Okay, I get that siblings sometimes quarrel. I get that they might pull their hair out and push and shove and wrestle. But that is really at 10 years old, not 20.

Nick and Aaron Carter came to blows at their home on Monday, the night before they announced their new E! reality show House of Carters at the Television Critics Association gathering in Los Angeles.

Asked what caused the dustup, Nick, 26, told PEOPLE, "Eh, we're brothers, it happened." Aaron, 18, added, "Yeah, we're brothers, but this time ..." He then lifted
his bangs to expose a bruise near his hairline, above his left eye. How did the fight start? "Aaron jumped me and I jumped him back," Nick said, revealing only that they'd been arguing "over a little misinterpretation." Aaron's twin sister, Angel, told PEOPLE a House of Carters cameraman broke up the fight.

The whole scuffle was caught on tape. "You'll see it on the show," said Aaron. House of Carters, which debuts in October, features all five siblings living together in L.A. and trying to work on their relationship away from their parents. Backstreet Boy Nick is meant to serve as the family role model.

Ahhh, yes - and the truth comes out. It's all for publicity. Did you hear Nick? "You'll see it on the show"

Lance and Matt - BFF

Ahh, Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey. Not only jogging - but "shirtless" jogging. Yummy. Now, who do you think is going to win? Sure, you might be thinking of their running race, but I am actually talking about the "hotty" race. Me thinks Matthew McConaughey will win - but only by a pec.

I wonder how I have time to work

Seriously, I have so much fun things going on, I just don't understand how anyone can possibly expect me to actually work. This past weekend I was a true Nashvillian and was in bona-fide "honkey-tonk" mode.

On Saturday, Kenny Chesney, along with Gretchen Wilson, Uncle Kracker, Dierks Bentley, Big & Rich, Little Big Town, and - heed these words: KEITH URBAN!! - performed in front of over 47,000 people at the Titans stadium. Keith was a complete surprise performance. And what a party it was. It started at 4:30 and lasted until about 11ish. What sucked was that the beer ran out at 10, and you simply cannot honky-tonk without beer. I would venture to say that it's quite impossible.

The concert was FABULOUS, with people tailgating all day and driving for miles to see Kenny (who has apparently become a national phenomenon)

After that, the fun continued at the world famous Tootsie's Orchid Lounge- a true, true honky tonk/boot scootin' bar. Ahhh, the fun of living in Nashville. Jealous, aren't ya?

Thanx to the Tennessean for the pics

Jolie's Dad: 'I Haven't Seen Shiloh'

So, apparently Jon Voight joins the wee likes of us common folk in not seeing the gossip-mag-loving baby Shiloh Novelle Pitt. And seeing as Voight hasn't spoken to Angelina Jolie in like two years, me thinks that the likelihood that he will is about as likely as me babysitting.

People

At Monday night's Los Angeles premiere of You, Me and Dupree, Voight, 67, said he saw the photos of Jolie, Brad Pitt and Shiloh that ran in the magazine recently.

"I never saw Angie's face more happy," he said. "Deep, deep peace that never has been there before until this. Beautiful, beautiful look. Both Brad and Angie looked so happy."

He added, "I haven't seen Shiloh yet. I'm looking forward to it."

Referring to Jolie, Voight said, "And no, we haven't spoken. ... I don't, I didn't have any communication with her."

Could I be a star??

Well, I just might be. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is coming into Nashville on Friday to audition people for their upcoming season. They'll be at Dave & Buster's at Opry Mills on Friday from 9-4. You remember my dreams of game-show stardom, right? Now, while usually I would stray away form any such contest that would require actual training and studying, but this one peaked my interest. Read the following:

In addition to regular episodes of the game show, Millionaire also will be looking for movie trivia-buffs for Netflix Million Dollar Movie Week, which will feature movie-themed questions.

Well hell yeah! I can totally do that! I am soooooo there. And if anyone should try to come and test their movie knowledge against mine, I dare you. Cause they goin’ down biaaach.

Yup, Suri Cruise is real

click image to download

Apparently Suri, daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise is indeed real. A copy of the birth certificate has made its way into the hands of bloggers everywhere. Yippee for me.

TMZ has the scoopy-scoop:

First, St. John's Hospital has a policy of filing birth certificates within 10 days of birth. In this case, Suri was born on April 18 but the certificate was not filed until May 8, 20 days later. An official from the hospital told TMZ that the delay occurred because they needed a signature from the parents or a representative of the parents certifying birth, and that person did not come in until May 4. The person who signed is labeled "friend." The signature is not legible.

Also, the "Attendant or Certifier" who signed the certificate -- Anne Heffernan, RNC -- was not in the delivery room and did not see the baby. But a hospital rep tells TMZ that Heffernan is authorized to sign when the doctor is not available. A hospital rep said "normally the doctor signs" but it isn't a requirement.

Finally, the hospital rep said that the circumstances that triggered the eventual signing of the birth certificate were that Suri needed a passport and a birth certificate is a prerequisite to obtaining one.

Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minillo at LAX airport together

I really am glad they are together. I like her a bit. Now granted, it could be because I saw Nick Lachey's video "What's Left of Me" over the weekend, and I was completely enamored with them and truly believed he was so upset when she faded away in to the oblivion. Seriously, you wonder if I live in a fairy-tail world? Sure I do. Sure.

July 09, California :: Nick Lachey with his new girlfriend, Vanessa Minnillo hide from the cameras as they arrive together at Los Angeles airport.

I mean, I could do lots of things with one hair extension, right?

Hottie Haute Reads

Sorry for the long post - but I have neglected my book reviews!

It's summertime!! And what does that mean? That means that if I can pull myself away from putting stationery albums together for an hour or so (eh, usually more), my ass will be at the pool with drink in hand and book in lap. I love books, and have actually read quite a few so fab and have regretfully forgotten to give you my reviews of each (which I'm sure you soooooo want to hear) After all, I feel like I am a v. good/unbiased reviewer of movies as well as books. I have always wanted to be a movie reviewer...*sigh*. Okay, back to the subject at hand - books. I began this summer with mystery/suspense reads. These are truly my favorites. They keep me on the edge of my little pool chair and can usually finish them in a weekend, as I get completely obsessed with knowing the end.

Dear Harlan Coben,

How I wish I could get in your head. You write the most wonderfully written suspense novels, filled with character development and page-turning madness. (and I don't mean Mary Higgins-Clark/throw a new character in each chapter even if we don't need one). I have been with you from the beginning with your uber fabulous Myron Bolitar series. Thank you for making me completely obsessed with your books. I have been so involved with Chick-Lit as of late and have forgotten how much I adore suspense!!

Thanks, Mandino

Anywho, I have recently read the following:

Just One Look - It's amazing. It's a story about a woman who finds a 20 year old photo in a stack of recently developed pictures. This is turn causes her husband to disappear and the woman discovers sooo much that she never knew. It's just nuts. So many twists and turns.



The Innocent - Didn't like this one as well as Just one Look, but that being said this one rocked the hizz-ouse too (shout out to Paper Bride for that one). Wow. The twists in this one. This is a book that where you think you might have it figured out, Coben takes your theories and smashes them into the ground and comes back with a twist so fabulous it will make your head spin.

And, now on to Chick Lit:

I am starting off by reading The Second Assistant, by Clare Naylor and Mimi Hare . This one immediately grabbed my attention, as I am obsessed with Hollywood, fame and celebrities (I know - you are shitting your pants in disbelief right now, right??) . This book, alas, was just "eh". I couldn't tell what this heroine was supposed to be. Funny? Smart? Neurotic? She never was either. Just bits and pieces of each.

This is a story about Elizabeth Miller, a young, former campaign worker for a US congressman who decides to try her luck being a Hollywood agent's assistant. (Helllooo, my frigging dream!) I was thinking along the lines of Entourage - YAY!! (which really - it did remind me of it) But, it was like the authors started off the book with a character in mind, then she changed throughout the novel. Then they would find a funny story to put her in, then BAM! - back comes ditsy Elizabeth.

There is a sequel out - The First Assistant. But, I don't think I will be checking it out. Just not enough humor, not enough smarts, and not enough love story.

Happy reading hotties!!

TARA REID arrives at a Camp Freddy concert - 7/1

Tara Reid looks like she is wearing one of those parachute things from elementary school gym class. You know what I'm talking about? Let me see if I can find a picture.

Oh yes...here we go...

good times. good times

Nicole and Keith happy to be back in Nashville!

Yay for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban! I have loads of pictures, too. According to local sleuths, they have had a fabu time since being back in Nashville. According to local sources, Nicole and Keith had The Club in Green Hills opened up exclusively for them on July 4th. Then they took a stroll through Centennial Park around the Parthenon. Then they apparently had dinner at J. Alexander's on West End. Has anyone seen them?? If so, please post! I tell ya! They are going to be such fab fun!

Emmy Award Nominations announced

The 56th annual Emmy Award Nominations were announced this morning. And quite a few surprises I might add! Desperate Housewives was snubbed! EVERY one of them. (well, except for the creepy Betty - but not one of the main ladies!) And I can’t say I am just a slight bit giddy with delight. The show sucks. But am very upset by the fail to mention LOST as a contender in the Drama category. (Helloooo..they won last year!) And I might have myself a little cry over the fact that Veronica Mars was outed again, and the only Entourage hottie that made the list was Jeremy Piven. *sigh*

Hilary: Chad's Substance Abuse Caused Split

In yet another Hollywood effort to air their dirty laundry, Hilary Swank comes clean to Vanity Fair about her split with Chad Lowe. She claims that his battle with substance abuse (which she said he kept from her and was shocked to find out) was at the heart of their marital problems.

People

"I knew something was happening but I didn't know what," Swank tells Vanity Fair magazine. But, she says in excerpts from the interview obtained by the New York Post, "When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid."

She goes on to say, "I don't want to make it seem like that's the sole reason; there were other factors. But that just kind of blew it open. It made me look at things a lot deeper. That's when you realize it's not going to work."

Chad Lowe's rep could not be reached for comment, but me thinks that Mr. Lowe might not be quite so happy about it.

I am a You Tube Addict

I admit it. I now go on there every day and see what new videos are on there. I see which ones have been the highest rated, and which ones are the most viewed. This one is effing fabulous (That is, if you are mean spirited and are heartless) Oh, and by the way...I laughed my arse off.
