Dear Jon Gosselin
Please go away! Please stop posing for cameras and accepting every invitation to every see-and-be-seen D list party. I’m really sick of seeing your goofy grin and cheap hair plugs sullying websites I otherwise enjoy. …
The Fragility of Life and the Weakness of People
From what I can recall, three people stood up for Michael Jackson when he was going through his child molestation trial. …
Uselessness Cynicism
Quite some time ago I realised that being a cynic wasn’t serving me well. …
Innocent Unless Proven Otherwise
I shouldn’t be shocked by how many people claim to know better than the court system when it comes to Michael Jackson. Sure, justice fails and has its flaws but lay-peoples’ blanket statements about how, when and why it works are just as bad. …
He’s Aliiiiiive!
It didn’t take long for the conspiracy theorists to pop up all over the Internet and proclaim Michael Jackson’s death a hoax. …
They Go in Threes
Those of us with a sense of the macabre developed as a shield to survive the cold environs of a radio newsroom wondered yesterday, who would be next? …
The Eve of the Era of Adam
American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is planning a fall debut album. But a company he did some earlier pre-Idol recording for, now says it will release those songs as Lambert’s first album in the summer and Adam is freaking out, to put it mildly. It’s the same as if a sleazy photographer came forward with cheap-o nude shots of a Hollywood starlet just before her tastefully done photo layout in Vanity Fair hits newsstands. It happens.

An Ugly Split
I’ve never understood how anyone could want to destroy someone they were once married to. By the same token, I’ve never really understood how they can stay close friends, either, but that’s a blog for another day.

Half-Pint Tells All
Most former child stars who reveal the sordid details of their personal lives don’t grab my interest. Exceptions have been Danny Bonaduce (Danny Partridge) and Maureen McCormick (Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!). But I had loved, lived and breathed both The Partridge Family and The Brady Bunch in their days. (Don’t judge me! I was a kid and as we all know, kids have no taste!) And now toss on the pile Little House on the Prairie’s Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingalls Wilder) who has written a new book called Prairie Tale. …
A True Superstar
So American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert is on the cover of Rolling Stone to finally announce to the world that he’s gay. I have one response. …
This Week In Celebrity Creepiness
By now you know that David Carradine has died and the speculation about how it happened. …
Things That Don’t Make Sense To Me
The California Supreme Court upheld a ban on gay marriage. …
Be Me Ever So Humble
I don’t think Jay Leno is the funniest comedian ever but he is a survivor and now a legend who took over the reins of The Tonight Show from Johnny Carson 17 years ago today and that in itself earns him a measure of respect. …
Starting Monday With A “Meh”!
After watching Celebrity Apprentice all season, my first ever, we pretty much had to see the entire THREE HOUR finale. …
Celebrity Voices for a Worthy Cause
Filmmaker Ed Burns and supermodel Christy Turlington never became Edsty or Chrisward or, in short, the kind of star-powered couple that the tabloids feed on. …
Disco Here, Disco There
Disco week on American Idol brought me a lot of joy! …
Personal Responsibility
Oh this is rich. But let me first say that this is not a rant against men. It’s a rant against two men. Two rich, egomaniacal, self-centred and overly pampered men who believe they do no wrong. Now that that’s on the record…. …
