Star goes supernova on Larry King Live
This woman is completely out of her fucking mind. I love how she smiles at the end of every sentence. It's a little unnerving.
And if her forehead goes any higher, she won't be able to close her eyes.

Again, enjoy the weekend. I thought this was pretty fitting, and hell I love U2, so bear with me.
No matter how much the rest of the world may think we are spoiled, arrogant fuckwits, it's great to be an American. We rock.
I think it's beer-thirty--whoo hoo!!!!!

The Best Episode of "Next" Ever
Okay, I have heard of drunk guys peeing in girl's beds in the wee hours of a post-hookup evening (also known, back in the day, as "Shower the People You Love With Love") and thought it was pretty damn gross.
But peeing on a first date? At the restaurant? During DINNER? On national TV?
There's some strange people out there, man.

AMERICAN GOTHIC, BRITNEY STYLE
US Weekly is running these photos of Britney, Kevin, and little Sean this week--apparently they were "stolen" from Brit and Kevin (yeah, right--these are the last happy pictures they took together, most likely). From what I can tell, these are from their trip to Hawaii. It's hard to know for sure though, since all they ever do is go on vacation and nearly drop their kid while steadying their important glass of water.
Anyhow, I saw these pictures and almost felt bad for ragging on Clitney the way I do. Then I sobered up, and that was that.

DID HE HIT HIM WITH HIS PENIS???
Since we talked about Pam, why not Tommy too? It's a Lee Family Circus today. Apprently Tommy got all mad at Josh Duhamel for trying to rush him in the john. So mad that when he came out of the bathroom, he whipped out his massive penis and bludgeoned Josh's skull with it. Or something like that. Don't mess with Tommy's penis! It will give you a beat-down that would make Barbara Walters proud! Oh, and you'd likely catch The Clap too. But that is neither here nor there.
For the record, that Josh Duhamel guy needs to be beaten with another guy's penis. I think he actually dates a girl with a penis, no? You cannot tell me that Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas is NOT a man. I see Adam's Apple whenever I look at her.

HUNK HITS FLOOR
TOMMY Lee got the better of "Las Vegas" hunk Josh Duhamel when the two rumbled at Bella nightclub in L.A. Tuesday night. A witness tells us the drama unfolded after Duhamel pounded on the men's room door and yelled "Hurry up!" while Lee was inside. "One of Josh's friends said, 'Stop, Tommy's in there,' " reports our spy. "Josh replied, 'Tommy who? Tommy Lee, who cares?' Tommy heard that and came out of the bathroom. Words were exchanged and Josh ended up on the floor - I don't know if he was pushed or punched. Josh bolted outside and called for Tommy to meet him and 'fight like a man.' Tommy was restrained and sent out the back door by security. Josh never did get to use the bathroom."

MARCIA, MARCIA, MARCIA
Here's one of her wedding pics. My personal opinion is that Marcia is a little long in the tooth to be rocking this look but, hey, the bitch looks good. It's amazing what a little formaldehyde and epoxy can do for a gal on her wedding day, eh??? I hope this marriage works out better than Bree and Rex's did.

PEOPLE WHO ANNOY THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME, EDITION 7: JODIE MARSH
This chick flew under my radar until this outfit surfaced. Sure, throughout the years I have read the bitchfights between her and Jordan over some guy they both nailed, and thought they both were whorish cows. For those of you who don't know Jordan (and how can you not?), she's a big deal in the UK and has massive, massive boobs, and is now married to this Peter Andre fellow. She's sort of like the UK's answer to Pamela Anderson--they both have two sons apiece, horrible taste in men, etc... Jordan and Andre need their own trashy post. I am on that.
But anyway, this Jody chick is just pure skank. She is like the "poor man's Jordan." I didn't think anyone could be low enough to BE the Poor Man's Jordan, but Jodie is it. Her recent tit job makes her bazongas look like square bags of flour, and that unfortunate leather studded band is doing nothing to help matters. Never mind the butter face. It's so bad that I WANT to look away, but have to see the carnage. Abysmal.....

WINTER STEELE, INTERUPPTED
The dude that posted all the Winter Steele episodes has had his account suspended, leaving us high and dry. BASTARDS. I'm going to search around and see if I can find Winter elsewhere on the Net, but in the meantime, keep that slutty, hard-loving, big-boozing woman in your prayers.
Rock on, Winter.

JEFF RISES AGAIN....
I have loved this man for eons. EONS. I bought "Grace" just because he looked so hot on the CD cover, and was instantly besotted at the tender age of 23. And when he drowned, well, I went on a booze-soaked bender in his honor. You do things like this when you are young and swoony. Anyhow, if you haven't heard his now-immortalized rendition of "Hallelujah," you should. It's just staggering.
Anyhow, now word comes that Jeff's life is going to be made into a movie, which will be based, in part, on Jeff's relationship with his father. I cannot think of anyone hor or talented enough to play this man. Maybe that Franco guy. Whoever it is, they better not screw it up, or I will be pissed!
From Oh No They Didn't!
Jeff Buckley: The Film - Jeff Buckley's life story is set to become a filmIt will be masterminded by writer/director Brian Jun. Jun is collaborating on the project with Buckley's mother Mary Guibert, who is producing the biography.It will be the second time a biopic has been attempted. Last year, the writer/producer Train Houston secured the rights to 'Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley', the book by David Browne.This event spurred Guibert, who controls the rights to Buckley's songs, to start her foray into the movie world."Over the years, the number of offers were unceasing," she said. "I had resisted for so many reasons, one being that Hollywood, traditionally, did a lousy job of realistically portraying the life of people like Jeff. But the possibility that it could happen without my participation set me back to re-examine why I wasn't doing it."Seeing films like 'Ray' and 'Walk The Line' convinced Guibert that "the time was right to have a project where integrity could be built into the script and that we could wrangle it so that it didn't get co-opted or changed in getting to the screen".Reuters reports that the film will play on Buckley's relationship with his father, singer/songwriter Tim Buckley, who died in 1975.Co-producer Michelle Sy said: "It is really about how music is so much a part of this person's identity, and there are so many ironies in his life. For example, he was constantly being compared to his father, but he only met his father twice. He had the trajectory of someone who gains a certain amount of success in a short period of time, and there (are) some downsides to that. And it was music that guided him through that."It is not known who will be cast in the role of Buckley I dont know how I feel about this, whilst it will be nice to have a film about the wonder of Jeff, I'm not sure who could play him and do the role justice. Also i would like to see that Grace documentary get a proper release

WHY SUNSCREEN IS IMPORTANT
Pamela Anderson is well on her way to becoming Brigitte Bardot--wrinkles and all. Here she is modeling nude for PETA in a Harrod's window in London. What's with those crazy marks on her arm? And time has not been kind to her face. In fact, time has been exceptionally cruel to our Pammy. She and Britney would be wise to listen to public opinion and put their clothes back on. Now.

AND THEN SHE ATE STAR'S LIVER WITH SOME FAVA BEANS AND A NICE CHIANTI....
DO NOT MESS WITH BARBARA WALTERS--Bitch is FIERCE. She'll take you down. She'll take you down to Chinatown! I honestly do not know how I hate the most in this wrinkly cat fight of ancient news crone or tucked fag hag, but I do know this. A pissed-off Barbara will totally go there, and she does in this video. She all but bares her teeth and snarls about Star's departure, and "The View" making "Star a Star..." Oh yes......
You know that Star and Big Gay Al are home with tubs of Chubby Hubby ice cream watching "Beaches" and giving each other pedicures right now. Whatever gets you through the pain, girlfriend.....

PEOPLE WHO ANNOY THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME, EDITION 6: GWYNETH PALTROW
Look at her with little baby Moses. How can I rag on someone holding a baby? Simple. I don't give a crap. Gwynnie's substandard acting skills (Oscar or no Oscar, she sucks), coupled with her insistence on finding a made who was just as pale and insipid as she is and breeding with said pale man has made her Today's Annoying Person. Who names their kids "Apple" and "Moses"? Apparently we "humble" people must miss the "beauty and originality" of these names. Whatever. Thenshe tells the world how she will not be a "working mother" because of how lousy it is for kids, and then goes and makes more movies once she squats and pushes her kids out? Gwnnie is a snooty. macrobiotic eating, Madonna-fraternizing, England-loving ASS, and I hope she catches the Black Plague while frolicking on the other side of the pond and her face just falls right off of her. Staring at her naked skull, with bulging eyes would give me some measure of peace.

THEY'RE COMING TO STEAL YOUR PROSTHETIC LEG!!!!!
Heather Mills is, apparently, going a little batty and is accusing the world of stalking her. Does anyone care enough to stalk her? True, the woman has had a tough month. She goes to divorce Paul McCartney and ALL OF A SUDDEN, these dirty pictures come to light. Where were they all along? I think Paul paid people to keep quiet. And is now paying them to talk shit about his ex. He should pay people to chase Heather around, tackle her to the ground, and then beat her with her own fake leg. Now THAT would make for some good TV.
From The New York Post
June 28, 2006 -- HAS Heather Mills become paranoid? Paul McCartney's estranged wife is now saying she fears for her life because of her link to The Beatles. "People are pursuing me 'round the country. I said, 'Stay away from my baby.' I have a catalog of evidence," the blond ex-model told the London Sun. She seems to think she's as important as McCartney's bandmates: "John Lennon was shot and George Harrison was stabbed and loads of kids are kidnapped." With her divorce kiss-off rumored to be in the hundreds of millions, Mills will be able to afford the world's tightest security.

"I want the paparazzi to leave me aloooone!!!!!" (sniffles, snorts, wipes snot with back of hand.)
"I am posing nude for Harpar's Bazaar in an effort to get the paparazzi to leave me aloooonnne!!!!"
I just don't get this moron. I was going to feature her (again) under "People Who Should Thank Their Lucky Stars for Air-Brushing," but I am just so over her at this point that I do not have the strength.

The War of the Nipped and Tucked
There's a major throw-down brewing between Baba Wawa and Star Jones, and, for the first time in my life, I may tune into the exceptionally shitty "The View" to see who grabs whose wig first. Apparently Barbara felt "betrayed" that Star announced her departure from "The View" early, and basically blamed Babs for getting her canned. So now "The View" wants her out. Today. Ouch! LOVES IT!
From .People Magazine
After the View cohost Star Jones Reynolds announced on the air Tuesday that she would leave the show in July, her network had a response: Leave now.
According to a source close to Jones Reynolds, "ABC has asked her not to return to the View tomorrow morning."
ABC could not be reached by press time, but a source close to the show confirmed that Star had been asked not to return.
Jones Reynolds, who helped launch the chatfest and spent nine years at the View table alongside Barbara Walters, Joy Behar and the newly departed Meredith Vieira, who left to replace Katie Couric on NBC's Today, says the split was anything but amicable.
"What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season," she tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I feel like I was fired." She adds that she got the news just days before reports surfaced that Rosie O'Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – would be joining the View in the fall.
In her announcement Tuesday, Jones Reynolds, 44, said on the air: "Something's been on my heart for a little bit, and after much prayer and counsel I feel like this is the right time to tell you that the show is moving in another direction for its tenth season and I will not be returning as cohost next year."
"That's shocking to me," interrupted Behar, prompting Jones Reynolds to link hands with her cohosts.
Walters, the show's creator, wrapped up the discussion by saying: "It is a new chapter for Star. It will be a new chapter for the View in the fall."
As for where she'll go next, Jones Reynolds said, "I'm not sure what the future holds, but I'm absolutely sure who holds the future."
For more details of Jones Reynolds's firing and her feelings about Rosie O'Donnell's 'hurtful' comments, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday
UPDATE: The latest from "The View" wars, courtesy of Perez Hilton
Star Jones is gonna milk getting fired from The View for all it's worth!
However, Barbara Walters is not going to go down without a fight.
This morning on the show, it was just Barbara, Joy and Elizabitch. And, the producers already had Starzilla's photos removed from the opening credits!!!
LOVE IT!!
"And then there were three," Barbara joked. The audience laughs and then the Walters says, "Star made the announcement yesterday that she was leaving the show, and we were surprised by her announcement yesterday. However, Star also made some other announcements yesterday that have been quite unpleasant. The truth is, Star has known that she was leaving the show for quite some time now and the network refused to renew her contract for reasons that I will not go into now. However, we wanted to give her extra time to find a new job and exit the show gracefully. We told her she could say anything she wanted to, but she made other announcements yesterday as well. The View made Star a star, and Star made the View a successful show. We wish her all the best."
And then she said they'd be right back with hot topics.
YOWZA!
UPDATE #2: More from Perez--this shit keeps getting better and better!:
Earlier this morning, Big Gay Al's wife called in to Ryan Seacrest's morning radio show on KIIS FM in Los Angeles and pretty much blew her wad early, telling him everything that went down with her departure from the show.
No need to watch her on Larry King tonight. We're sure CNN will be pleased!
And, as a public service announcement to all our readers, Perez personally transcribed Star's interview with Ryan today.
Here are some highlights!
Star on her professionalism:For the last two months, I've come in and done the show as normal every day. I walked in there. I've been 100% professional. I've shared my life. I've done what I do for the last nine years. And, in reality I've known for two months that The View was not renewing my contract and I still went in and did my job every - single - day!
Star on being asked to leave the show:Barbara and the producers and ABC specifically told me when they wanted an announcement to come, the last week of June. They specifically asked me to stay until the middle of July. Now you know me. Emotionally when they first say your contract is not renewed, my initial desire was, "I want to walk, get the heck out of there. I don't need to put up with this."
Star on Star:It didn't sound right for me when they were saying your ratings have gone done. I said, well wait a minute, I've seen the ratings. The top five shows in the year you're talking about were about me and planning the wedding. It didn't sound right. But then I thought about it and said, "Don't be emotional. Be professional." A lot of people's jobs depend on my doing my job. So I specifically - specifically - tried to do my job to the best of my ability.
Star on her surprise announcement:We had always planned to make the announcement this week. We had planned to make it on Thursday. But I woke up on Tuesday morning and after so much media, so much speculation, it was time for me to say goodbye right now.
Star on Barbara being a bitch:From what I understand, Barbara never told Joy and Elizabeth [that I was getting fired]. Period!
Star on Rosie:I'm not trying to be emotional about this. I understand it was a business decision. I understood it was a business decision when I was told then. But then in that same week, I was told they were adding a new co-host and it was Rosie O'Donnell. And that was the same week that she had been so nasty and vicious towards me. She insulted me. She tried to damage me professionally and personally.
Star on being betrayed:It's a little shocking to me that Barbara feels betrayed. I was really surprised that Barbara feels betrayed. If you watched me yesterday, I said that she was the most amazing mentor and I thanked her for the most amazing opportunity. My departure was orchestrated some time ago. And while I can accept any business decision, it's hard to accept the manner in which it was handled during the last two months. But, if you use words like betrayal, if anyone should be betrayed, it should be me! Barbara didn't have my back.
There's a major throw-down brewing between Baba Wawa and Star Jones, and, for the first time in my life, I may tune into the exceptionally shitty "The View" to see who grabs whose wig first.

Emotionally when they first say your contract is not renewed, my initial desire was, "I want to walk, get the heck out of there. I don't need to put up with this."
Star on Star:It didn't sound right for me when they were saying your ratings have gone done. I said, well wait a minute, I've seen the ratings. The top five shows in the year you're talking about were about me and planning the wedding. It didn't sound right. But then I thought about it and said, "Don't be emotional. Be professional." A lot of people's jobs depend on my doing my job. So I specifically - specifically - tried to do my job to the best of my ability.
Star on her surprise announcement:We had always planned to make the announcement this week. We had planned to make it on Thursday. But I woke up on Tuesday morning and after so much media, so much speculation, it was time for me to say goodbye right now.
Star on Barbara being a bitch:From what I understand, Barbara never told Joy and Elizabeth [that I was getting fired]. Period!
Star on Rosie:I'm not trying to be emotional about this. I understand it was a business decision. I understood it was a business decision when I was told then. But then in that same week, I was told they were adding a new co-host and it was Rosie O'Donnell. And that was the same week that she had been so nasty and vicious towards me. She insulted me. She tried to damage me professionally and personally.
Star on being betrayed:It's a little shocking to me that Barbara feels betrayed. I was really surprised that Barbara feels betrayed. If you watched me yesterday, I said that she was the most amazing mentor and I thanked her for the most amazing opportunity. My departure was orchestrated some time ago. And while I can accept any business decision, it's hard to accept the manner in which it was handled during the last two months. But, if you use words like betrayal, if anyone should be betrayed, it should be me! Barbara didn't have my back.

DO YOU THINK SHARON STONE STRAPS HER KIDS TO THEIR BEDS?
I do. I think her kids have craploads in common with Cristopher Crawford, who spent the better part of his childhood strapped to a bed, while poor Tina got the shit beat out of her. God, I love Joanie! Fabulous!
I think Sharon adopts all these poor little boys, gives them charming Middle Earth names like Roan and Laird and ties them to their beds at night and makes them watch her horrible movies, like "Basic Instinct 2: See Mommy's Cooch Again." That, my friends, is child abuse.
In any event, since her own fallopian tubes had withered into sawdust long ago, she has gone and adopted another boy (what does she have against baby girls? Unless she is trying to GROW HER NEXT HUSBAND FROM SCRATCH). This one's name is "Quinn." Charming.
From The Hollywood News
It is alleged that 'Basic Instinct' star Sharon Stone has adopted a third child.
Stone, who already has two adopted sons, 6-year-old Roan and 13-month-old Laird has reportedly adopted a newborn boy named Quinn Stone earlier this month.
A friend of the star told America's New York Post newspaper, "He's absolutely adorable and the apple of Sharon's eyes. She is tickled blue."
However, Stone's publicist, Cindi Berger, has so far refused to confirm or deny the adoption.
Earlier this year, the 47-year-old actress admitted that despite being single, she has given up on dating after her last few relationships have ended when the men discover she is just a normal person underneath her glamourous facade."I stopped dating about a year ago, and decided to take some time to heal myself from a variety of traumas," she admitted.

I Love the Show "Medium" but....
Did Patricia Arquette go too far and dig up a dead person to find this wedding dress? The actress was married to boyfriend, actor Thomas Payne this past Saturday in Venice, Italy.
I just don't get it. Is she supposed to be a high priestess? Xena? Did she have a RennFest-themed wedding? Her groom looks normal enough. And while I totally give her props for having a normal womna's body, shiny satin is not always the best choice to showcase it. Unfortunate. Still, she didn't look like the wax figure that was Nicole Kidman at her wedding, but more on that later.

PEOPLE WHO ANNOY THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF ME, EDITION 5: STAR JONES
God, I hate this sanctimonious cow, who lost like 900 pounds with "diet and exercise" (translation: beverly hills doctor snipping her gargantuan stomach into the size of a Robin's egg). And that wedding--sponsored by everyone from American Airways to Out Magazine. Tacky. But let's not forget that HUSBAND!! Come on now. Big Gay Al's "Bachelor Party" consisted of a bunch of Twinks, some Patti LaBelle playing in the background, and about 4 bottles of Astroglide and you know it.
Anyhow, this edition of "PWALCOM" has a happy ending. Bitch is getting FIRED from her job because every hates her for--surprise!--being a sanctimonious cow.
From Access Hollywood
BURBANK, Calif. (June 26, 2006) -- Star Jones Reynolds will announce her departure from "The View" this week, Access Hollywood learned.
A source close to "The View" told Access Monday that Star Jones Reynolds will leave "The View" in July and will announce the departure on the show this week.
As a result, the much discussed face-off between Star and incoming co-host, Rosie O'Donnell, will never occur.
O'Donnell is not joining the gals until September.
By July, Star will have been at "The View" for close to nine years, having been a part of the show since its inception in August 1997.
Barbara Walters, creator of "The View" and Star'sfellow co-host, did not return Access' calls for comment.
UPDATE
Bitch WAS fired! Read on! (courtesy People Magazine):
Star Jones Reynolds announced Tuesday morning on The View that she'll be leaving the show in July after nine years as a cohost. "After much prayer and counsel I feel like this is the right time to tell you that the show is moving in another direction for its tenth season and I will not be returning as cohost next year," she said on the air. So why is she leaving? Contrary to speculation that she's unhappy about the upcoming addition of Rosie O'Donnell – one of Jones Reynolds’s most vocal critics – to the show this fall, she reveals exclusively in this week's PEOPLE magazine that the departure was not her choice. "What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season," she tells PEOPLE. "I feel like I was fired." She adds that she was told her contract wouldn't be renewed just days before news leaked that O'Donnell would be joining The View. Jones Reynolds, 44, was part of the original lineup with Meredith Vieira (who has already departed to replace Katie Couric on the Today show), Joy Behar and show creator and executive producer Barbara Walters.
