Guilty Pleasures

Lets just start this off by saying its been a long time since MC has seen a Guilty Pleasures segment. Therefore it goes without saying that a lot has changed in the land of celebrity. The Hollywood crazies have become a lot better about hiding their issues and addictions. Despite this, the media scrutiny of their every move has increased in recent years. I mean, really, do we care that Britney Spears went grocery shopping and bought Cheetos? Kind of makes American pop-culture obsession with celebrity border on stalker-level. BUT, I digress…on with the gossip!

Real Housewives of New JerseyUsed to be that I would start off every Guilty Pleasures with the most important A-list gossip. Today, I will instead push my own agenda to announce something VERY IMPORTANT! Some of you may already know the news but feel free to react with glee anyway: The Real Housewives of New Jersey will be back for a second season!!! Don’t judge me. Its very important. Turns out the housewives were stalling signing any new contracts in an effort to get bigger paychecks. I’m guessing its probably to help pay for their own bubbie-jobs (boob-job for all of you English speakers).

Billy Mays  - Oxi CleanOn a more serious note, it appears that Billy Mays did not die of any kind of head trauma following his odd airplane incident. The coroner in Tampa, FL held a press conference today and stated that his professional hypothesis on the matter was that Mays died of a possible pulmonary embolism. He went on to say that more tests are necessary to make this conclusion. In case you hadn’t heard Oxi Clean is the shit. Buy some as an ode to Billy Mays who made the product such a success.

In lighter news, well, darker news might be a better way to color it. Britney Spears is a brunette now. No, its not a wig. I wish. Why? No idea. At least she has hair.

Notice that her sunglasses match her Cheeto-colored blouse. I presume she chose the ensemble so that when she gets actual Cheeto-fingers she can simply wipe them on her bosom. I hereby crown her Queen Cheetoh-boobs.

Vanity Fair - Heath LedgerThe lead story and cover of the upcoming edition of Vanity Fair is Heath Ledger. What with Michael, Billy, Ed and Farrah all recently dead, apparently the magazine thought we should remember someone else too. The article chronicles Ledger’s final days alive in painstaking detail and manages to garner interviews from many people who refrained from speaking on Ledger’s passing immediately following the event. At the same time it makes you wonder why Vanity Fair is lowering itself to a semi-tabloid level.

Lets make this one short but sweet: it seems there is a John Edwards sex tape.

janet jackson - BET awardsJanet Jackson spoke at the BET Awards last night on the passing of her brother, Michael Jackson. Janet, 43, eloquentelly said, “My entire family wanted to be here tonight but it was just too painful, so they elected me to speak to all of you. I’m going to keep it very short. To you, Michael is an icon. To us, Michael is family. And he will forever live in all of our hearts. On behalf of my family, and myself, thank you for all of your love. Thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much.”

Guilty Pleasure of the Day:

Leighton Meester, singing, looking unbelievably sexy, hot song to boot:

Guilty Pleasures

August 2nd, 2007

marmonthl9 Guilty PleasuresVictoria Beckham is already making enemies in LA. It seems that Posh likes to dine at the Chateau Marmont, a trendy and expensive hotel in LA that is known for keeping its patrons privacy a top priority. It seems that Posh calls ahead to warn the hotel that she will be arriving, with dozens of paparazzi on her heels:

“She always lets the paparazzi know when she’ll be arriving. The Chateau Marmont tries to give celebs their privacy, and they hate her there. They like David [Beckham, her husband], though.”

v5athumbvf9 Guilty PleasuresAnd last Tuesday another paparazzi fave arrived to find the restaurant packed and the only available seat was next to Posh. Guess who? Britney Spears. She refused to sit next to Posh and promptly stormed off to another eatery:

“Britney Spears turned up at the Chateau and the only table available was the one next to Posh. But Britney didn’t want to sit next to her, so she and her friend stormed off to Il Sole instead.”

Are you kidding me? Britney needs all the friends she can get and imagine the photo ops! Posh could bring Brit’s image up a few notches while Brit could make Posh stop acting like such a bitch. Basically, in the end, the two would be photographed making out on a dance floor somewhere with David sitting at home with the kids complaining that his wife has a girlfriend. Oh what a world…why can’t this happen?

Jessica Simpson has Blond Ambition, the name of her latest ill-fated attempt at “acting” but it seems that test audiences didn’t respond well to her abilities on the big-screen. It turns out that Blond Ambition will not be released in theaters here in the US. Instead it is headed straight to DVD. US reports:

jsba1bannerdt6 Guilty Pleasures“It is going straight to DVD domestically. It will only come out in theaters internationally,” an insider tells Us Weekly. What’s the problem with the romantic comedy, costarring Luke Wilson, 35? “The movie is absolutely horrible,” says a source. “It’s just a bomb, mainly because of Jessica’s acting.”

Ouch! Now someone just needs to tell her she isn’t that pretty without photoshopping. Perhaps this will send her on a booze and blow bender. Yet even more wishful thinking.

Word has it, and when I say “word” I mean its probably a lie, that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt got into a fight of presidential candidates that culminated with Angie throwing a glass of wine in Brad’s face. It may not be real, but I’m giddy thinking about how this went down:

winefightlv4 Guilty Pleasures

“Brad ended up calling her immature. He says the next thing he knew, Angie was cursing at him and throwing a glass of wine in his face.” “He was left standing there with wine dripping down his face onto his clothes.”

Rumor has it that Angelina supports John Edwards and Pitt supports Obama. Why does it matter? Aren’t they moving to Berlin?

cruisenudes1lf1 Guilty PleasuresTom Cruise and Katie Holmes are…I can’t say it…oh god…ok, pull yourself together man…they are planning…a nude photo shoot:

“They have already started planning some of the photos. One suggestion they were keen on was a shot of them posing together in the shower, dripping wet and covered by nothing but steam. Tom and Katie really have amazing chemistry. They want to show the world how much.”

Just from that little quote it is apparent that this is an effort to cement Tom’s heterosexuality, yet again. This is just a gross and ill-fated attempt at establishing that this is real marriage and that Katie can be in a shower without her new circuits shorting out. Whoever has to shoot this layout should be prepared to drink heavily on the set.

Trash Corner:

LC and Audrina, two of the fakes from The Hills, were snapped outside of Les Deux last night. They were overhead complaining that they didn’t want to go in because of the large number of paparazzi. Right…we all know you love the camera. This gets you put straight onto my Media-whore list.

Guilty Pleasure of the Day:

Anderson Cooper was on Leno last night. Somehow he and Jay ended up talking about getting grey hair at an early age:

In case you don’t have time to watch the entire 8 minute clip, this is what Mr. Cooper had to say:

“I started [getting gray hair when I was] young. It’s like premature ejaculation. You know it can happen but when it happens to you, it’s kind of a shock.”

Anderson Cooper, one of the most respected CNN reporters, talking about premature ejaculation. This is the same guy who lives and dies by his hetero status, yet somehow has managed to have four boyfriends (just a rumor…right…). He also showers in a bathing suit at the gym. I still find it hard to see the correlation between grey hair and lacking self-control in the bedroom.

Motiveless Crime News Headlines Pt. 1

July 15th, 2007

knin182l Motiveless Crime News Headlines Pt. 1The upper house of the Senate has become exasperated that Osama bin Laden has yet to be captured. Here I was thinking that they had completely forgotten about him on purpose. Since Bush used his leverage to halt a vote on a change of plan in Iraq, Democrats are doing anything they can to continue making changes for the better. Recent polls show that 2 out of 3 Americans support withdrawing troops within 9 months but Republicans would sooner die then allow such a logical choice. The upper house instead decided to bring up bin Laden by way of doubling the reward for his capture or body, from $25 million to $50 million. Sounds like I need to book a ticket to the Middle East.

060822 WS BushEX Motiveless Crime News Headlines Pt. 1George W. Bush has publicly admitted that someone in his administration “perhaps” leaked the identity of a CIA operative. The CIA operative in question is known as being in opposition to the war in Iraq. After the Scooter Libby commute, most expected Bush to feign ignorance when it came to any more of his mistakes, instead he sits on a fence…flipping the American people off. “And now we’re going to move on,” Mr. Bush said during a recent press conference. Sounds like he isn’t giving us a choice.

The recent $100 drop in PlayStation 3 price is apparently only temporary. Sony announced earlier this week that they are actually dropping the 60 GB version of the gaming console and will only be offering the new 80 GB once the smaller hard drive system has sold out. Sony has predicted that the drop in price will result in the 60 BG version being completely sold out within a month. Most interpreted the drop in price as an effort at gaining a larger market share since the Xbox 360 had largely dominated the sector (not the mention Nintendo’s Wii). Obviously it appears that Sony isn’t that smart.

NorthKoreanFlag Motiveless Crime News Headlines Pt. 1Bilateral military talks have begun between North Korea and the US in efforts to establish peace in the war-torn Korean peninsula. Why is it that every time someone wants peace they start discussing military action? Isn’t that a contradiction?

A parking space in New York has just sold for $225,000. It has been suggested that this is the most expensive parking space in history. I disagree, if we take into account the millions upon millions spent, plus casualties, Iraq is the most expensive parking space for American fascism.

296441 Motiveless Crime News Headlines Pt. 1West Nile virus is back on the rise. Recent reports have it that West Nile has been found in 26 counties in California with three humans infected. 41 dead birds have been found to be positive with the virus. Boulder, CO has also come forth and reported that a 54-year old man has tested positive for the virus as well. This follows the announcement last week that West Nile had been found across Illinois and had been found in four citizens. Thankfully bats live in the trees around my house which is why I haven’t seen a mosquito all season.

John Edwards and Hillary Clinton recently made news when someone accidentally left both of their mics on which lead to some politically charged words being broadcast from the loudspeakers. The discussion between the two Democratic presidential hopefuls was centered around how crowded the stage is at the Democratic debates. Edwards and Clinton both seem to agree that second-tier candidates are stealing too much limelight and causing the debates to last way too long. Most major networks picked up on the incident. It has yet to be seen whether this mistake will harm their campaigns. I agree that the debates should be open to any candidate who shows seriousness of candidacy and has adequate backing, but most American’s have to admit that the stage is a bit too crowded. Certain hopefuls are riding on fumes and have absolutely no chance of getting the Democratic nod, much less the votes.
