The Bob Saget show sounds like a slightly watered down version of "Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends" - a British show which was usually interesting. [en.wikipedia.org]
@Lady Skittlehattington: Thank. You. Also, fun fact - she wanted Elvis to record it. He turned it down. Which is too bad, because an Elvis/Dolly collaboration is pretty much the stuff my dreams are made of.
"When I was reading the books, I felt so bad for Jacob's character. I was, like, 'Wow, he can't get the girl he wants and he's being shut down and used.' But now that I'm actually dating Taylor Swift is who amazing and funny and Glinda the Good Witch and totes hot, I realized that Jacob wanted the wrong girl all along and this is really better for everybody."
Carrie maybe you should google "Celebrity Sex Tape Scandal" and see how suing the porn companies worked for Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. Paris got nothing, Kim gets a percent of the profits but is also forever tainted with benefitting from something she says she's ashamed for and the message that sends about her character.
Sorry Prejean. You're a porn star now. Vivid is just fucking with you waiting so long to release it. Also, how much damage do you REALLY think you can do to Vivid? Vivid is one of the biggest adult companies.
JESUS CHRIST, CELEBRITIES! PAY YOUR TAXES. It's not that hard of a concept! Yes, I understand you have accountants doing this stuff for you, but at the very least ask to see your paperwork after stuff is filed! Hire a second person to audit yourself!
@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: I KNOW, seriously. My husband has his own business (which is not making celeb kind of money) and somehow we manage to get our taxes right. We were even audited last year and they surprisingly couldn't find anything wrong (and oh, how they tried!).
That Bob Saget show actually does sound interesting - but would you really call that a reality show? They're putting him into situations specifically to film the reaction - it's not just following him around in his every day life. (I guess that's what reality shows have become, but this sounds more like Dirty Jobs or something.)
OK, I think Nate Berkus is as adorable and talented as the next girl, but REALLY? another Oprah "spin off"? I'm surprised the sex lady hasn't gotten a spin off. Or Ali Wentworth. Or GAYLE. Man I'd be pissed with my lack of show if I was Gayle.
@thecameralovesyou: Nate is my favorite of Oprah's babies, I think. Him or Dr. Oz.
I get the feeling that Gayle is happy with the level of fame she has. As far as I know, she's respected in her career and makes a very, very good living. No way Oprah wouldn't have helped her go national or international if she wanted to be.
@thecameralovesyou: I love Ali Wentworth (and thank you -- I can't ever remember her name). She is natural and appealing without being obnoxious and I love how she rocks those eye bags. She makes me believe mine are attractive.
@ardentlilac: I love her too. although her Dallas Cowboys cheerleader dance at the Texas state fair made me uncomfortable. Just because of the awkward sexy face.
i feel so bad for aaron carter. the kid got robbed of his childhood to make money, and is now a young adult with nothing to show for it.
well, at least the backstreet boys are back together.
Um. The Enrique Iglesias video. Most hysterical WTF moment occurs with the hooker wrapping herself around a stripper pole coming from betwixt his legs in a bed. Subtle! Then they both disappear and he masturbates some more.
@SomeAuthorGirl: Yeah, that was a very bizarre video. My only interpretation is that Enrique enjoys masturbating to videos of crying girls. That, and he shaves his pubic hair.
@GirlFailer: He enjoys masturbating a lot. Enough to hole up in a hotel room with days and days worth of room service. So the other take away from the experience is that masturbating to videos of crying girls and fantasizing about prostitutes makes him really hungry.
There's a way that this was a good thing to start the day with, because it had zip to do with SP! Woohoo!
Hey. I like Patrick Swayze as much as the next child of the 80's, but using the riderless horse tradition at his memorial service is TACKY AS HELL.
The caparisoned horse is a powerful statement - and an immense honor - that's generally reserved for higher-ranking military funerals and for state funerals (as in presidents and other major officials). This is typical Hollywood BS, taking itself and its denizens FAR too seriously.
Just because you owned a horse doesn't make you eligible for such an honor, just as simply being dead doesn't make you eligible for a plot in Arlington National Cemetery. Really offensive.
@♥ dosido☮: I pretty much think people can do whatever the hell they want at funerals. Who are we to say what traditions should be reserved for "more important" people? Who the hell cares? Let them commemorate a loved one in a way they see fit.
@TheGuvnah: Yeah, you're right. Who cares about hundreds of years of tradition or military honors or anything as stupid as all that? Maybe a 21-gun salute was in order! Or a plot in Arlington!
Honor needs to be earned. This was a classless decision.
And Mrs. SF: this tradition isn't about being a horseman; its a military honor.
@TheGuvnah: Also, WTH is up with your hostility (as well as Mrs. Stephen Fry's)? I commented on something. If you disagree with my comment, do it respectfully.
I don't know what's going on around here lately with pile-ons, but it's getting really Mean Girlsy up in here these days.There used to be room for a diversity of opinion and reasoned debate on this site.
I've been reading Jezebel for quite a while, and I'm really disappointed in the recent quality of interaction. It honestly didn't used to be this way (except with a couple of commenters who were summarily run off for being so douchey).
@♥ dosido☮: That article also points out that the origins of the tradition date back to Khan and also has a Buddhist history. In America it's applied to military funerals, but in general it stands for a well-respected person that can no longer ride on their own. If people felt so strongly about the life of Mr Swayze then this would be an apprpriate honour.
@sleepeatread: He does sound like the perfect jordan catalano stereotype. But ...confession... I actually really like his songs on the twilight soundtrack. Flame away.
