<![CDATA[ McCainiac Nicolle Wallace Will <em>Not</em> Be Left Holding The Garment Bag ]]>
  • The officially-designated GOP scapegoat for Wardrobe-gate appears to be McCain aide Nicolle Wallace (left), despite the fact that I guarantee she knows how to put together a wardrobe for less than $150,000. Wallace isn't "going to engage" with people until after the campaign, but she knows the score and her memory doesn't even have to be that long. [Think Progress, Politico]
  • Speaking of the score, Vanity Fair and the National Security News Service are apparently pursuing reports that McCain killed a guy in a car accident (implication: drunk driving) in 1964 and the Navy is still covering it up. Who knew the October surprise would be about McCain? Karl Rove must really hate him. [Huffington Post]
  • Joe The Motherfucking Plumber officially endorsed McCain today, and said that Obama would be the end of Israel. What the fuck does JTMP know about Israel? Joe doesn't know jack, actually, and even Fox News had to admit that. [CBS, Huffington Post]

  • Though Palin yesterday refused to be a Maverick and call on convicted felon Senator Ted Stevens to resign, John McCain decided he could. So he did. [NY Times]
  • Rachel Maddow's viewership is so far up, she can claim to have beat Larry King in one demo. One demo today, tomorrow...all of them. [TV Newser]
  • The Dow, too, finally decided to get up. That'll last until it falls again, then goes up, down, up, down and apparently I need to stop watching so much porn. [Washington Post]
  • Florida Governor Charlie Crist decided to get back at McCain for not choosing him as the running mate — or, possibly, do the right thing for the right reasons, stranger things have happened — and extended early voting hours in Florida. Someone's gonna get re-elected. [Politico]

<![CDATA[ Jon Stewart Asks CNN's Campbell Brown, "What IS Your Bias Against Bull?" ]]> We've been fangirls of Campbell Brown since she accused the McCain campaign of sexism for treating Palin like a "delicate flower," and we heartily enjoyed her appearance last night on the Daily Show. Brown talked about her show, No Bias, No Bull, being pregnant with baby number 2, and her throwdown with McCain spokesman/Megan's hate-fuck fantasy Tucker Bounds. If you'll recall, after Brown's confrontational interview with Bounds, McCain canceled an appearance with her CNN colleague Larry King as punishment. Bounds wasn't answering Brown's questions, and Brown was incensed. "It's a waste of my time, it's a waste of the audience's time, and I just don't want to hear it." Preach! Clip above, and some exciting news, after the jump.

Here's the news: Barack Obama will be on the Daily Show tomorrow night!! According to the Comedy Central website, "We just got word that the studio is in full lock down mode. After all, Jon barely escaped his previous interview with this tax-and-spend terrorist of the center-left alive." Wheee!

<![CDATA[ We Ain't Gonna Take It, And Paulson And Bernanke Ain't Gonna Get It ]]>
  • Treasury Secretary Paulson and Fed Chair Bernanke were on the Hill today, metaphorical hats in hands, asking for gobs of money and the ability to spend it with no oversight. Unlike what Sarah Palin actually said about the Bridge To Nowhere, Congress told them, "No thanks." [Washington Post]
  • Dick Cheney tried his hand at asking nicely, but House Republicans, knowing Cheney well, told him to go fuck himself. A couple of them then fist-bumped Pat Leahy on the way out of the meeting. [Politico]
  • Ahmadinejad doesn't care who we elect because he plans to keep building his nukes regardless. [CNN]
  • The Supreme Court issued a stay of execution for a Georgia man convicted of killing a police office on the sole basis of eyewitness testimony since recanted. Scalia, Alito and Roberts must have taken a really long lunch today. [CNN]

  • Rachel Maddow is kicking Larry King's wrinkly old-man ass. [Huffington Post]
  • Even Fox News thinks it's "unprecedented" that McCain and Palin aren't allowing reporters to even shout questions at them. No, really. They're pissed too. [Huffington Post]
  • But it's totally in line with other potential McCain Administration policies, like not talking to Israel, Syrian or the Palestinians about that whole peace-process thing. That bores Johnny. [JTA]
  • Rush Limbaugh: more of a fucked-up racist piece of shit than you thought. [Think Progress]

<![CDATA[ Loose Lips ]]> Great news for Rachel Maddow: her new show on MSNBC is a ratings juggernaut.

Downey tells the London Sunday Times, "A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual…That's okay. Being relaxed about sexuality is something you're born with." • David Eigenberg, otherwise known as Steve from Sex and the City, is going to be a dad.

  • The Dow lost about another 450 points today even though the federal government has decided to buy out (read: nationalize) anything they need to to keep out economy from collapsing. [Washington Post]
  • Speaking of, Morgan Stanley might merge with Wachovia, which would make Goldman Sachs the only remaining stand-alone investment bank in the United States. Seriously. [NY Times]
  • But it's all going to be okay because the Bush Administration might use the end of its term in office to create a whole new agency dedicated to buying up all the bad debt and defunct financial institutions that its policies created in the last 7.5 years. Hey, did I mention the word "nationalization" already? Good. [NY Times]
  • Hey, look! Something shiny! Don't watch the end of capitalism! Lori Drew is moving her family to an undisclosed location. [St. Charles Journal]

  • Hillary Clinton canceled an appearance at an anti-Iran rally because the organizers thought it would be a supercoolfun idea to put her on the dais with Sarah Palin less than two months before the election and didn't think it necessary to inform her. Um, obviously. [Associated Press]
  • The polls show McCain and Obama pretty damn tight in too damn many battleground states. [Marc Ambinder]
  • Known elitist Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild and former major Democratic figure says all kinds of unbelievable crap about why she's now supporting McCain, but the funniest part is when she says it's about voter disenfranchisement and didn't know that the Republicans are actively seeking to disenfranchise legal voters in the general election to help he new best buddy. Ok, here's a woman you can hate on. Please, enjoy. [Huffington Post]
  • McCain and Palin will be doing their deathly tango on Larry King tonight (and feel free to use this as an open thread if you're not watching Project Runway), but before that Swampland's Ana Marie Cox and I will be liveblogging her own torture: sitting through a McCain townhall meeting.

<![CDATA[ The parents of the unfortunately named and ... ]]> The parents of the unfortunately named and ill-fated Larry King, a gay 15-year-old who was shot to death by a classmate in Oxnard, California, are suing Larry's school. But here's the rub: the Kings are claiming the school is culpable because teachers allowed Larry to wear makeup and feminine clothing in the classroom, the AP reports. King was shot by Brandon McInerney, who is being charged as an adult and is facing prosecution for a hate crime, as it is thought that he shot Larry for simply being his flamboyant self. "The family's claim, filed last week in Ventura County Superior Court, said administrators and teachers failed to enforce the school's dress code when King wore feminine clothing and makeup to school," according to the AP. "His parents, Dawn and Gregory King, said faculty members knew their son had 'unique vulnerabilities' and was subject to abuse because of his sexual orientation." [AP via MSNBC]

<![CDATA[ The Edwards Scandal Will Not Be Allowed To Die! ]]> People has Elizabeth Edwards on its cover this week, not that she posed for it or is quoted directly within it but, despite her plea for privacy, everyone just wants to know how she feels about the world knowing that her husband cheated on her. (Hint: Not good.) So David "TRex" Ferguson and I act like good little voyeurs and have a peek but get distracted by Keith Olberman's rant about how awesome smart women are (call me, Keith!) and Rachel Maddow, how Michelle Malkin is in no way responsible for Arkansas Dem Bill Gwatney's assassination, Media Matter's Paul Waldman's takedown of right-winger Jerome Corsi, becoming a minority, KFC and David's Unified Field Theory of Gay Republicans.

MEGAN: Morning! People has this stupid teaser on its webpage for its cover story on Elizabeth Edwards' feelings told by other people as though people like you and I are going to run out and buy the magazine? I'd be tempted to make an appointment with my acupuncturist who has a description and gets it in the office, which costs a hell of a lot more money but is more useful than a magazine. Anyway, apparently, it hurt to hear that her husband was sticking his penis in other women. Has your curiosity been satiated?

DAVID: I don't feel like I'll have a real handle on the story until Mike Allen at the Politico has interviewed Elizabeth about her Hollywood crushes, though.

MEGAN: I'll be she thinks George Clooney is cute.

DAVID: Well, clearly the lesson from all this is that we shouldn't vote for John Edwards in November. Now, can we move along, people?

MEGAN: Wait, though, can we go back to Rush Limbaugh for a second? Because I think I might be allowed to crush on Keith Olbermann after he went after Rush last night. (Skip to minute 3, if you want to see it.)

DAVID: Oh, sweet. I need to watch that. Olbermann is uneven for me. Sometimes he's awesome and then other times he goes so far over the top. Whereas my love for Rachel Maddow is unconditional and all-consuming.

MEGAN: Yes, I have to agree about Rachel, but, um, Keith could, say, call me in Denver and yell about how awesome smart women are for a while.

DAVID: So, what do you think about Arkansas? Do you feel like the shooting was politically motivated?

MEGAN: I mean, if it wasn't politically motivated, why Gwatney in particular?

DAVID: Most reports I'm seeing are refraining from speculation about motivation, but I have a sinking feeling in my stomach that this is exactly what I was talking about yesterday with the Limbots going insane and lashing out at Librull Amurrka. Of course, the fact that Righty screamer Michelle Malkin felt the need to issue a denial of involvement before the body was even cold speaks volumes to me.

MEGAN: Some Internet troll types think it's another Clinton conspiracy. For real.

DAVID: Conservatism, I am starting to believe, is a form of mental illness. Malkin is up to her old tricks again of publishing the contact information of people who challenge her. If you go down that thread and look, Malkin published some detractor's email address and full name and her commenters are bragging about looking up the guy's mother's name and threatening her.

MEGAN: Hey, you know, that shit got some dudes a NY Times Magazine cover story, so...

DAVID: Delightful people. Funny how much her denial of blame yesterday reminds me of her denial of blame in the death of UC Santa Cruz administrator Denice Denton.

MEGAN: Yes, we get it, Michelle, you are not personally responsible for all the evil in the world, not even the evil committed by your fans. Speaking of pissing off Michelle's fans, did you see that the Census Bureau came out with new figures that say white people won't be the majority by 2042? Interesting timing on that one.

DAVID: Except that she is. But speaking of trolls, did you see Larry King last night? Larry King and Paul Waldman handed Obama-bashing Jerome Corsi's his ass on a pizza.

HA! Segway jinx! Yes, 2042 is when Mark Penn's target voters will no longer be the top dogs. To tell you the truth, I'm a little disappointed because I thought that white people were already outnumbered.

MEGAN: I mean, is it just a little interesting to you that the government comes out with these figures that we've all know for ages now that prompt headlines like White Americans no longer a majority by 2042 a mere 11 days before the start of the first Democratic convention which will make Obama (an African-American) the first major- party candidate for President? Or am I just that paranoid?

DAVID: When it comes to the perfidy of corporate media, I don't think you can ever be too paranoid, can you?

MEGAN: Possibly not.

DAVID: I mean, you've got Karl Rove's buttboy in at the top of the AP, GE owns NBC and MSNBC, then there's ClearChannel and Pox News. Even public radio and television are beholden to big money donors like BP and Wal-Mart.

MEGAN: You know what's really funny?

DAVID: Really, Megan, it's all down to you. You alone can tell the world the Truth. What's funny?

MEGAN: A good friend of mine used to work at Alticor, which owns Amway (which, of course) doesn't advertise AND is heavily Republican... and they complain about the perfidy of the corporate media and the influence of advertising dollars, too.

Aaaanyway, back to topical stuff... Want to talk about how this might be the first convention since 1984 that Jesse Jackson doesn't speak at? Or that he'll watch D.C. mayor Adrian Fenty (kind of a cutie) and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn but not House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel speak (though, the latter might be because he's had a couple of easily-foreseen ethical scandals crop up recently)?

DAVID: Oh, well, I think that might be for the best, don't you? Maybe he has a pressing gig talking about spaying and neutering at a veterinary convention. Honestly, I think it may be time for Reverend Jackson to spend some more time with his families.

MEGAN: I'm actually kind of disappointed in Charlie Rangel. It's like when people in D.C. said, "No one could be a bigger, more condescending prick who abuses the power of his office than Bill Thomas" he took that as a challenge.

DAVID: Everybody needs goals in life. Charlie was just reaching for that rainbow, living the dream. Can we really fault him for that?

MEGAN: Sort of like the owner of the gay cruising site that's maxed out to McCain.

DAVID: Well, I have a theory about that.

MEGAN: Self-loathing? Or straight entrepreneur?

DAVID: Your gay Republican types thrive in an atmosphere of repression and secrecy. They want their gay sex dirty, shameful, and totally secret. They don't want to have stable gay marriages or adopt kids. They want to get down on it Larry Craig style.

MEGAN: And so he thinks in a McCain administration his cruising site will do better? Actually, given McCain's incredibly gay entourage, that might not be too far off the mark.

DAVID: I've thought about this a lot. I never could understand why someone would be a gay Republican. It's like being a chicken for Col. Sanders.

MEGAN: God, reading that just made my stomach growl.

DAVID: But then the more I thought about it, and as more and more and more twisted gay sex scandals came to light in the GOP, I started putting together my Unified Field Theory of Gay Republicans. For them it's all about The Forbidden.

Well, that and racism.

<![CDATA[ Why Don't More Chicks Believe In Life On Other Planets? ]]> Yo, I'm sorry, but people of the internet, stop instant messaging me about my job and go read Drudge!. There are ALIENS out there, and world governments have systematically been covering it up for sixty years, and it is no longer just Dennis Kucinich and Jimmy Carter saying this but A GUY WHO WALKED ON THE MOON who was not Neil Armstrong but, you know, Neil Armstrong believes in Jesus, they said so this time I went to Israel, and if you believe in Jesus you tend to disbelieve in aliens. ANYWAY, the point is, who is this guy? Just Edgar Mitchell, PhD. born in 1930, who just told an English rock radio station (huh? not the point! he'll be on Larry King next week so you can BELIEVE THEN) that that Roswell flying saucer was real and that he has seen aliens:

Aliens that resemble "little people who look strange to us" and possess technology that is much more "sophisticated" than ours and if they weren't so goddamn peaceful "we'd be gone by now." Which me wonder — and here's your "Jezebel angle," dykes! — are women more or less likely than men to believe this guy. Surely someone has polled them!

Okay, if you said "men" you can pat yourself on your surface area because 69% of men believe in life on other planets, to 51% of women, which reminded me I recently got an email from my uncle, an uncle who used to work at NASA, because he has a daughter who is somehow involved in this whole John Edwards love child scandal, and he thinks it is a shame that the mainstream media is not paying enough attention to it, not because it is so epically important but for the fact that he gave up on the space program a long time ago; decided it was a waste of money, that it was always going to be struggling for funding and relevance because too large a portion of its purpose was devoted to the investigation of Unknown Unknowns as they say, and people — women especially! I have the data to prove it! — don't really care much for investigating things they can't really control, which one one hand is fair enough, but on another hand, leaves us wasting time gossiping — oh my God, when in the UK I read this survey that said 80% of British women's workdays is spent somehow on gossip, which sounds doubtful to me but I can't prove it either way — about people and things we cannot control but at least know to be real, because they are incessantly being photographed, to the point that when some piece of gossip occurs like the Edwards scandal, whose credibility as I see it is primarily being undermined by the fact that we do not want it to be true, for the sake of Elizabeth or the children or whatever — we ignore it as part of an interesting new tradition I might call "Original Cynicism." We ignore it because we do not want to believe human nature to be that bad, even though we fully know it to be capable of far crueler, so we shut it out I guess and move on to the next animal picture, which is fine, sure, but puppies are not the beings with the far superior technology which could be deployed to obliterate us in a millisecond! Were their intentions malevolent. Which the aliens', apparently, are not! How interesting, right? That they are superior to us, and at the same time also possibly kinder! But Moe that is so sappy, you say, is that how you are going to end this post? But what can I say folks, if you have gotten this far into any of my posts without saying "I call bullshit" or "This makes no sense" you have made everything worthwhile for the past year and a half.

King asked Jeff about the National Geographic documentary, Inside A Cult, during which Michael talks about boning Jeff's wife. Jeff claims that the couple were divorced by the time Michael and his wife consummated their "spiritual marriage," and besides, what they did wasn't sex as mere mortals know it. "They've been ordained by God...it was a spiritual experience illustrated by a physical act," Jeff tells King. Clip above.

In a pre-taped segment, the two went to a restaurant to eat chicken and waffles; Larry ordered an Arnold Palmer (ice tea and lemonade), so Snoop invented the Tiger Woods (lemonade and water). When they discussed politics, Snoop wouldn't disclose who has his vote, but he did say that if he does vote for Obama, it wouldn't just be because he's black. In fact, he seemed pretty fond of both Hillary and Bill Clinton when discussing the race for the presidency. Clip above.

Debra Lafave, the Florida teacher convicted of having sex with one of her male students, was spared jail yesterday after violating her probation. In honor of the occasion, Larry King got "original" naughty schoolteacher, Mary Kay Letourneau (what is it with these pedophile women and surnames with the sound "Lay" in them?), on the phone to weigh in. Mary Kay, 46, told King that she thinks yesterday's court decision regarding LaFave was "fair", and chatted briefly about her family life with her former child lover/now-husband Vili Fualaau, 24, and their two daughters. And even though she's not allowed to teach ever again, Letourneau couldn't help but gently correct King's pronunciation of her husband's last name. (It's about time someone called King out on his idiotic, ignorant utterances. Doesn't he listen to his producers?). Clip above.

<![CDATA[ Dr. Laura Blames Whiny Women, "Defends" Her Soldier Son ]]>
Remember Dr. Laura? Well, she turned up on Larry King Live last night, where she held forth on everything from Britney (bad parent) to Lindsay (wasting her talents) to Hillary (so what if she cried?). In addition to questions about famous females, viewers solicited advice from Schlessinger on domestic disputes, and we noticed something a little funny, namely, that Schlessinger's answer for everything was blame the woman. (Sound familiar?) Her indignation took a turn for the, uh, different, however, when she was asked about her soldier son, Deryk, and reports that he created a MySpace page that included "cartoon depictions of rape, murder, torture and child molestation" and "a photograph of a bound and blindfolded detainee captioned 'My Sweet Little Habib'", among other things.



"Oh gosh, I can't believe you brought up something that was in the National Enquirer and in one tiny newspaper that had a grudge against me," she protested. "One tiny newspaper"? Uh, we checked Nexis, and, found, among other news sources reporting on the story, the Washington Post. Clip of Dr. Laura on women and domestic disputes, above.

<![CDATA[ Huckabee's "Minor" Son Was Still A Major Asshole ]]>
Jesus Christ: What the fuck is up with Republican presidential candidates and cruelty towards animals? First, in a National Lampoon-like moment of utter idiocy, Mitt Romney straps the family dog to the roof of his car; now Mike Huckabee's son David is said to have lynched a stray dog while working as a counselor at a Boy Scout camp. (Where's the Michael Vick-worthy outrage? Unlike Vick, Romney and Huckabee don't have the excuse of their "cultural upbringings". Or do they?) Anyway, on last night's Larry King Live, King asked Huckabee about the lynching and Huckabee responded with something about David being a "minor" at the time of the incident and an upstanding Eagle Scout. (David wasn't following Scout Law about "kindness", was he?). Then Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris weighed in, using the phrase "choking unconscious". Interesting choice of words, considering!

Also interesting: Right after the segment ended, this very apt and always-heartbreaking ASPCA commercial came on. Lets hope young David was watching; maybe he learned a thing or two!

<![CDATA[ Larry King's Awesome Spazzy Spawn ]]>
For reasons unknown, The Insider interviewed Larry King, his wife, and their two children about how they plan to spend the holidays. It's the first time King's sons Chance, 8, and Cannon, 7, have been interviewed, and they're not only rambunctious, but it's pretty awesome how they don't really care to behave when the cameras are around. In the clip above, watch how Larry is confused when the family is singing Christmas carols, but then the boys decide to sing Kanye West's "You Can't Tell Me Nothin'." It's not really Larry's fault though, he is like five generations older than they are.

<![CDATA[ <i>Elle</i> Editor Robbie Myers: "The Devil, Yes. I'm The Devil" ]]>
Anna Wintour she's not, but is Roberta "Robbie" Myers gunning for more name recognition? Not only is she rumored to be meeting with producers to become the next Nina Garcia, the Elle editor-in-chief (and former boss to our very own Jennifer Gerson) appeared on Larry King Live last night to tout the new issue of her magazine, its cover subject (guest Posh Spice) and, presumably, herself. (Jen confirms what we've suspected: She is "camera-shy" and "rarely does TV".) Anyway, here's what we learned: Ms. Myers has seen the Devil Wears Prada. She's different from Ms. Wintour in that she doesn't have any fur coats (but seems to like leather). She also endorses the idea of celebrities who design their own clothing and perfume lines. (Of course she does; Sarah Jessica Parker is a major advertiser!). Get to know Robbie in the clip above, and, as an added bonus, check out Posh's self-aware, slightly cute camera-faces as she arranges her head and lips for the best camera-angles.

<![CDATA[ Brad Pitt To Larry King: Yup, There's More Kids To Come ]]>
Brad Pitt was on Larry King Live last night, and, although he was there to promote his charity in New Orleans, he had to field questions from Larry about Angelina and the kids. Brad said that the kids think it's totally normal to come out of a house or building and see a wall of photographers, and he wishes there were laws against the paparazzi calling out the kids' names and following them. And although he kept reminding Larry that he tries to keep his private life private, he did gush a little, especially about Zahara, calling her "an absolute delight." Also, though they already have Zahara, Maddox, Pax and Shiloh, Brad admitted (again) that he and Angelina are "just getting started" in terms of children. The Jolie-Pitt Army will inherit the earth!

<![CDATA[ It's (Kinda) Settled: Tyra Banks Had A Nose Job ]]>
This Larry King Live clip settles it for me: Tyra Banks has had a nose job. Dodai and I have been having this back and forth with each other about it. In her infamous "161" People magazine interview, she said, "I am totally against plastic surgery. A lot of people think I have breast implants because I have the biggest boobs in the business." But this archival footage from Larry King, that was re-aired on Monday, leaves me completely convinced that she's had work done. Larry asks, "Are you afraid of plastic surgery?" She responds, "No, I'm not afraid of plastic surgery and I'm not against it... I feel like everybody should make a choice and, you know, if they want to do that, that's fine. I'm so not against it." Yeah, the girl she's talking to is the one looking back her in the mirror. Also, she's clearly not against visible lace fronts, either!

Each week on Top Model, we watch her have totally arbitrary rules on beauty and modeling, and often times, conflicting advice for the girls ("Don't lose weight to conform!" "Do anything you have to do to book that job!"), so it's not surprising that she'd have different answers for different outlets on the same subject. She did admit to Heather last week that she compartmentalizes, after all.

And in case you forgot:

<![CDATA[ Howard K. Stern: I Did Have Sexual Relations With That Woman ]]>
Howard K. Stern was on Larry King Live last night to discus his $60 million libel lawsuit against Rita Cosby for allegations she made in her book Blonde Ambition. Larry played clips of Howard's past appearances on the show, including one in which he appears with Anna and the two claim to strictly have a client/lawyer/BFF relationship. Another clip shows him claiming to be Dannielynn's father, and that the two had been secret lovers for years. Even confronted with his own lies and shady behavior, he still insists on sticking to his story of the moment — that he and Anna were lovers for years, that they truly believed he was the father of the baby, that he was willing to take a DNA test to prove that the whole time, that they didn't do drugs, and that he never sucked off Larry Birkhead. Howard also discussed recently-surfaced pictures in which Anna looks totally wasted while holding daughter Danielynn. Check out the shots after the jump.

These were the original shots that were floating around the internet, suggesting that Anna was high (what a shock) and puking.

But Howard K. Stern, determined to defend her honor, said she wasn't puking, but was eating KFC and getting the tartar sauce all over herself... topless. He brought this picture on to prove it. What a prince he is!

Don't you just love how Dannielynn is giving first an expression of shock, then of disapproval? That's sorta how we felt watching her mom, too. Except we would always laugh in the end.

<![CDATA[ God Bless Tammy Faye ]]>
Get ready to gasp and/or cry. The clip above is of Tammy Faye on Larry King Live last night. As you probs, know, Tammy Faye is incredibly sick with an inoperable form of cancer, and although she's far surpassed her initial prognosis — a feat that's been attributed to her unflappable good nature and positive attitude — the end seems to be imminent. If you've never seen the film The Eyes of Tammy Faye, put it on your Netflix queue, and now. The documentary shows Tammy for the woman that she is: Campy and cute, with a heart of gold. I know that when she passes, my eyeliner and mascara will be running down my face—which will actually be a fitting tribute to the woman who wants to be "remembered for my eyelashes." Keep her in your prayers, if that's something you do.

P.S. I know that he's married, balding, and all religious and shit, and perhaps it's an inappropriate time to mention it, given his mother's deteriorating health, but I totally want to bang her punky preacher son Jay Bakker.

<![CDATA[ LIVEBLOGGING PARIS "Sadly, this is part of American culture.." ]]> Media synergy mayhem! We could be talking about the prison system right now. But we're not. Larry King just interviewed Paris Hilton.

Overheard on my couch: "Oh stop humanizing yourself, I HATE it."
I would literally imagine that I was somewhere else "Yeah, like I was in Hyde, or ... like ... Area..and Nicky was there..."
"That's definitely one of her mom's blouses"
"Oh my god look at the crawl! Liveblog the crawl.." What's happening on the crawl? "Real world events that we should..." "20 dead in insurgent attacks in Iraq.." "21 bullet riddled bodies were found throughout Baghdad today.. so that makes 41?"

"This is like a bad valedictorian speech."
"I've always loved writing" — "KEEP YOUR DAY JOB.."
"Maureen, the news is she's smarter than the president. Like two or three levels above the president. It's not that bad. It's cliche-ridden, but... it's not that bad."
Look at her face! She's taken drugs. She can't say she hasn't taken drugs with a straight face......"You know, she lost a Bentley playing poker" ... Really?
"Did he just quote Marshall McLuhan?"
"Entramped?"
"He's fading....she's a marathon runner...he's old, he's losin' it.."
"A LOT OF GIRLS HAVE PROBLEMS — Another T-shirt!!"
"She's managing to preserve a distinct air of superiority throughout" — a dude
"She did that right. Are those really her notes? Forcing the tears.. But she's doing a good job."
"Ouch. it's like an Epilady.. are we on the old people channel?"
"Oh god this just reminds me that Anderson's gay.."


"Pandemonium" — good choice Sitrick! ok, WHY did this start before it actually was supposed to start? How were we supposed to get beer?
"They call it 'mystery meat' ... it's pretty scary"
So it's sort of a draw as to what the drinking game should be at this point. The obvious (invoking "God" i.e. "God does make everything happen for a reason") or the other obvious (invoking "myself" i.e. "I just really wanted to focus on myself") ....
"At Lynwood you have to talk behind glass, no matter what you're there for." Uh.... it ain't just Lynwood?
OH GOD I'M AN IDIOT. The obvious drinking game revolves around whether she expects to be treated like everyone else. Think she expects to be treated like everyone else? You motherfucking bet she expects to be treated like everyone else!

So she got a DUI with a .08 BAL? Really? Really truly? Who the fuck is driving around LA on a given night with less than .08% blood alcohol? I mean, the cool thing about living in LA — which is the same as the scary thing about living in LA — is that you're always seeing other drivers on the road who are aggressively so much drunker than you've ever been.

She just copped to the baby voice. "When I get nervous? My voice goes up?" So yeah, she sort of pre-empted it.

Ok so she just addressed the subject of Lindsay. "I know her." She mastered that. "I wish her the best." "I don't have any friends in rehab." So you're too wholesome for Lilo? Ok, we can accept that. You're kind of convincing. FUCK YOU. Jesus.

MAINSTAY. Another work of genius. "Too much too soon." Oh wow. Your face talking about Nicole, Paris, it's too much..are you really a person actually?

AUDACITY: "I get followed by the paparazzi all day; why would I have the audacity to drive with a suspended license?"

Chronicle of profundities:
"Don't serve the time, let the time serve you"
baby voice"I'm just gonna follow all of the laws"
"It is then only then that we find out who we are and what we're truly made of."
"I definitely wish I knew now what I did back then.."
"Sometimes I go down and that's something I'd like to change about myself."
"I've been on medication since I was a child" ADDERALL "Everyone I know with ADD takes it." AND EVERYONE WE KNOW *HAS* ADD THANKS TO YOU PARIS. HOOOOTTTTTT.
"I'm an Aquarius, we're social people.."
"I've always been religious, I went to Catholic school..I've always had a sense of spirituality"

MEMO TO LARRY KING AZT IS AN AIDS DRUG, ADT IS A HOME SECURITY COMPANY. ADDERALL IS NECTAR FROM THE GODS SO GET IT FUCKING RIGHT!

Did she just say she was going to go to mass? I really hope for the love of celebrity tabloids that she shows up at Paula Abdul's church.

Thank you!

<![CDATA[ Paris Hilton, The Shiloh Jolie-Pitt Of Ill-Advised Media Mergers ]]> When the history books are written about the the twenty-first century, Paris's childlike sketch to TMZ founder Harvey Levin will surely endure as a powerful symbol of the times. In the sketch, Harvey punditizes on Larry King Live. Both Harvey and Larry are, of course, essentially the property of the company formerly known as AOL Time Warner, something Paris understands on an intuitive or Mike Sitrick-aided level. And Paris's appearance on tonight's somewhat-hyped episode of Larry King Live will surely help drive sales for tomorrow's "exclusive" cover interview in People. Meanwhile, fledgling Time-Warner internet property TMZ has sustained minute-to-minute interest in the event with no fewer than 25 posts on the heiress since her release yesterday morning. Whole books have been written about the near-comic failure of the seven year marriage of AOL, Time and Warner. But as is so often the case in business journalism, the inherent fickleness of a market economy obscured the long-term compatibility of the players. In other words, perhaps this company is the Brangelina of all media, with Paris its first Shiloh, and her sketch to TMZ's Harvey Levin a piece of artwork he and Dick Parsons will cherish forever.

<![CDATA[ Duke Lacrosse Players Have Yet To Be Absolved By Manhattan Co-op Boards; We Shed Tears On Their Behalfs ]]> evans.jpgWe're having trouble feeling sorry for the Duke lacrosse players (even though Colin Finnerty totally seems like a decent kid!). Maybe it's because this whole affair made us ponder the idea free will, and whether it really exists, and that scene in In Cold Blood where Perry says he went on that killing spree because the fear in the eyes of that nice Midwestern family told him they expected him to do it. And maybe it's because, having worked at the campus Starbucks of an Ivy League university in a dirt-poor majority-black town, we have enough anecdotal evidence to say that most coddled white kids display enough indignation when their skim lattes are accidentally made with whole milk that they don't really need help from a pair of larcenous strippers to fuel said righteousness. But we're thinking our lack of empathy is more the result of comments like this from Larry King's sitdown with accused-rapist Dave Evans' attorney last night:

KING: Do you think, Joe, that they are in some way still tarnished?

CHESHIRE: Yes, you know, Larry, I think they are. We live in this crazy Google world where if you type in the name "Dave Evans," you get over a million hits. He's had a hard time getting a condo in New York because — or a co-op in New York because people will type his name in.... It's one of the horrors what of has been done to them.

Of course, there's some missing stuff where we put the ellipses, and you can read the entire exchange at CNN.com, but that pretty much says it all, doesn't it? Poor 22-year-old learns the true consequences of being falsely accused: He can't cash in on the Manhattan's booming real-estate market!

<![CDATA[ More On "The Secret": Larry King Drinks The Kool-Aid ]]> larryking030907.jpg

Guess CNN producers haven't learn a thing from the growing chorus of critics regarding the continuing and unquestioning coverage of self-help book The Secret. Last night, it was Larry King's turn to step into the ring of wide-eyed, friendly talk show hosts: King devoted an entire hour to The Secret juggernaut with nary a real critic in sight.

First up was John Assaraf, founder of something called 'OneCoach' and a creepy, chiclet-toothed pseudo-scientist ("there are positive chemicals in the brain and negative chemicals in the brain" he asserts), who calls The Secret "a phenomenal breakthrough for mankind". But forget him. The real outrage came courtesy of Joe Vitale, "founder and president" of something called the "Hypnotic Marketing Institute". When King asked Vitale if Jessica Lunsford — the 9-year-old Florida girl raped and killed by just-convicted sex-offender John Couey — "attracted" the crime against her, Vitale basically said, well, yes.

"We are attracting everything to ourselves. There is no exception. I hear previous people talking about there is luck, there is [sic] some exceptions here. No. We attract everything. But we're doing it on an unconscious level, Larry. That's what's going on."

Got that? A beautiful 4th-grader — albeit "unconsciously" — asked to be abducted from her home, beaten, raped and then buried alive with only a stuffed animal as company.

And did Larry King bat an eyelash or pose a follow-up question after that outrageous statement? You know the answer.
