Perez “how-is-it-that-im-a-celebrity-when-i-am-really-a-garden-variety-gay-mary?” Hilton is in trouble for allegedly posting (on his June 13th blog) an upskirt photo of Miley Cyrus’s va-jay-jay..sans panties and calling her ‘Slutty Cyrus’. Well the photo has been removed, and now he is backpedaling saying things like: “Miley is not stupid enough to go pantiless” “I’m not stupid enough to post such a thing that would put me in jail” ..because of course if he did post it he was posting child pornography and that is a no-no here in the US of A. So instead of saying something like:
‘Yes I did…that was stupid of me I wasn’t thinking that she was under 18..’ or, ‘I took it down immediately ..when I realized what I’d done’, like most normal folks would’ve done..he posts this!
A sobering view of the BP oil spewing out at an estimated 1 million gallons/day..we are at day 21 now. Right now estimates (according to ABC news) is that perhaps 1% will be able to be cleaned up. Much bigger impact to the local economy than Hurricane Katrina. The effect on the Gulf will be felt for decades to come.
For all those suffering with self-esteem issues… this commercial offers CDs with the sounds of a cheerleader affirming how wonderful you truly are..complete with an audience cheering section.
..at least according to the Irish Examiner. They blame the easy accessibility to porn, gambling & cyber-sex. So, before the Internet there was no other way to attain escapism? All that drinkin’ had nothing to do with it?? Pfft.
Twi-teens & Twi-moms, I’m sorry to inform you that Team Edward has a lil problem…The NY Daily News is reporting that Robert Pattison states that he is allergic to vaginas. Well, that’s just stupid. *sighs* Maybe he should just stand there with his mouth shut and look pretty like he is getting paid to do.
Below is a video of Ashley Dupre on the Howard Stern Show. You’ll remember her as the young hottie who was thrust into the limelight as the prostitute at the center of the scandal that took down former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer. Dupre is trying to “re-brand” herself as a sex columnist and aspiring musician. See the clip below and check out the full interview on Howard TV.
Expect to hear a lot about Monica Lewinsky and her infamous blue dress, as a new book hits the shelves detailing the whole sordid Lewinsky affair. This time, Monica is talking . . .
In the years since their bitter battle, both former President Bill Clinton and independent counsel Ken Starr have predicted they’d be vindicated in the history books.
Now the first definitive history of the Clinton scandal is about to arrive – and neither man can be completely happy about his portrayal in its pages.
“The Death of American Virtue,” due out in February, asserts that Clinton had yet another extramarital affair, with Susan McDougal of Whitewater fame. Also in the book, Monica Lewinsky tells author Ken Gormley that she believes the president lied under oath when he described their encounters.
At the same time, Gormley offers a harsh portrait of Starr as a man out of his depth and who lost all sense of proportion. His interviews offer new ammunition to critics who contend the Lewinsky investigation was marred at its outset by improper questioning of Lewinsky in January 1998 by Starr’s lieutenants, who continued to grill her even after she asked for a lawyer.
Two presidents later, the saga feels like a far-off chapter in the nation’s history but the book makes clear that the principals, including Clinton himself, remain keenly interested in squaring the historical record to their liking.
This should be interesting. My guess is few people will care at this point, but who knows?
The Tiger Woods story keeps getting more bizarre. Yesterday, Health Central Hospital in Orlando, Florida was back as part of the story as Elin Nordegren’s mother was taken to the hospital. She has since been released, but the entire episode just added to the media frenzy surrounding this story. It also brings the spotlight back to Tiger’s home situation. Will Elin be leaving Tiger soon to escape back to Sweden? There’s also speculation that Tiger and Elin may escape nearer to Sweden together.
Meanwhile, Steve Lewis has a devastating post describing what really happens in the VIP world frequented by Tiger and his alleged mistress Rachel Uchitel. Lewis explains the world dominated by bottle service, VIP hostesses and the special attention and services provided to whales and VIP athletes. Needless to say, facilitating access to hot girls is the top priority.
Finally, we’re starting to see cracks in the Tiger Woods marketing machine. Gatorade announced that they had discontinued a Tiger drink, though they claim the decision had been made before the controversy. Also, reports say that most Tiger commercials have been pulled from the air since the beginning of the month. That’s not a surprise.
What’s next?
The problem for Tiger Woods is that he’s now a punch line, and the sponsors hate that. George Lopez had a field day last night in his monologue. He’s focused on the tag lines used by Tiger’s sponsors and how they now have a new meaning with the scandal. Accenture says “Be a Tiger.” Nike says “Just Do it.” And, the best one is Gatorade which says “Is It In You?” Ouch! Check out the hilarious clip of Lopez above.
The bad news keeps coming for crazy Tiger Woods, as the number mistresses keeps rising. I think the current number is six. We finally have a real hottie thrown in the mix (see Jamie Jungers above)
Now Tiger is considering going on Oprah to salvage his reputation. In one sense it’s probably not a bad idea. On the other hand, who knows what his state of mind is right now. Even in his statement where he admitted “transgressions” he seemed to be pointing fingers at the media and not taking full responsibility. If he goes on Oprah with a chip on his shoulder he’s going to make things even worse.
Until now, Team Tiger seems interested in one thing and one thing only – protecting his public image to keep the money train going. Unless he’s really sorry for what he’s done (as opposed to being sorry for getting caught), he won’t be doing himself any good with an interview with Oprah.
The shit has now completely hit the fan. We learned yesterday from US Weekly that cocktail waitress Jaimee Grubbs was alleging that she also had an affair with Tiger. Today, US Weekly released a recording of a voice mail message Tiger allegedly left for Grubbs asking her to help him hide the affair from his wife, Elin Nordegren.
This is obviously a disaster for Tiger, who makes sick money pimping brands with his well-crafted image. Once audio or video gets out in public, one’s ability to manage public perception is seriously damaged.
I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.
Vote here on what you think of the current situation Tiger is facing.
Meanwhile, Brooks is on the case with new photos of another woman who is alleged to have had an affair with Tiger – Kalika Moquin.
Apparently some law designed to prevent gay marriage has now technically banned all marriage and marriage-like partnerships & unions in the great and wise state of Texas. How dare they prevent good folks from gettin’ hitched? dot dot dot Will this make all those God-fearing babies born out of wedlock bastards? Just asking is all..
