The Al Gore III story is shocking.

Who knew a Prius could go 100mph?

byoolin: That's EXACTLY what i said!! Who knew they could go that fast for a sustained amount of time.

Great minds think alike, TLL. Let's try again.

When you read "Rumor Mill: Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera pregnant?" was your first thought, a Seinfeld-like voice muttering "FEDERLINE!"?

what is cameron diaz saying?

i don't get the appeal of amy winehouse..or lily allen for that matter.

A Prius will top out at about 110mph, so AGIII had that pedal flattened, too.

And I think what Cam D. is saying is that she likes modern living and she's not some back-to-nature smelly capital-G Greenie. She just thinks we can make some parts of life cleaner without giving away our mod cons.

Interestingly, that seems (to me at least) to be very Corporate America. No company ever went broke by saying "hey, let's see what we can do about emissions/ waste/ carbon output WITHIN REASON."

i think it would be very cool to make our cars run with our feet, like the flintstones. that might be a really fun themepark.

and another thing...katharine mcphee needs to shut her mouth. she says ultra stupid stuff.

Paris' statement seems very sincere, don't you think?

I'm with you methinks, she is a complete idiot and obviously have never been in a real relationship. I don't want hear "my lips are pretty", I want hear "here's a glass of wine, relax while I fix dinner"

And another thing, how in the hell is Katie Holmes influental? All she is doing is influencing young women to give up who they are for some man

A prius drives just like a regular car. It's been around for 10 years; I will never understand why people STILL make the same old jokes about it...

A prius drives just like a regular car. A regular car with 2000lbs in lead acid batteries and a straight-4, 1.5-liter engine. With both the electric motors and engine redlined, a Prius tops out at 105mph.

AG3 was haulin' in his toy car when the po-po caught him.

Paris is so pretty and so responsible. She was misunderstood and she doesn't need to be treated like she was. Her life is forced and she is doing the best that she can in the spotlight, given that she is so shy and sincere. People just need to leave her alone.

Love Lachey and Minnillo standing up for themselves. The Mexican paparazzo ought to get nicked (pun intended) on peeping tom charges.

Cant stand Kathrine Mcphee

As a friend of mine who's an endocrinologist pointed out, Nicole Richie is so skinny, she's probably not even ovulating. Which means the only way she could've gotten pregnant is if she had IVF with donor eggs. And she strikes me as crazy, but maybe not quite *that* crazy.

Lauren Hill: This is what happens when you believe your own hype.

I know the girl is a Looney, but I don't understand why Britney would ask for forgiveness from a gossip blog but won't forgive her mother.

Only thing surprising about Diddy's girlfriend moving out is she finally got a job.

To The Tabloids:

Please leave Dannielynne alone. She's only a baby and needs to have a normal life.
It is not her fault her mother was trainwreck with big boobs and Hollywood dreams.

The Wayne Brady link opens the Johnny Knoxville page.

Cameron convinced me. I talked to my husband after reading her comments, and we decided to hook back up to the grid, sell the hybrid, simplifying our trash setup (no more multiple containers for recycling-garbage-compost-etc... after all, didn't Thoreau say SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY SIMPLIFY?)... in fact, we might sell our passive solar home with its solar panels and windmill, move off the mountain (or, in hip hop parlance, mou'en) and back into the city and REALLY hook up to the grid and pollute and waste.

As the man in MONTY PYTHON who couldn't pronounce the letter C ("Bat. Bolor supplement.") might have said, what a stupid bunt.

Anyway, after I read what she said, the sound you heard from the woods near Gettysburg this morning was two things: me smacking my forehead against this keyboard I'm typing on, and me screaming to my six year old YOU SEE THIS? BAD! BAD BAD BAD! STUPID STUPID STUPID! DON'T GROW UP TO BE LIKE THIS! LINDSEY LOHAN, MAYBE.

Why does this crap upset me so?

I can see Christina being preggers but Nicole "I haven't met a drug I didn't take" Richie seems like a stretch.

Who would have thought that a man who claims to have 30 hours worth of stamina would not be able to keep his girlfriend. I don't get what women see in Puffy. Seriously how does that buck tooth wonder get women? Also, didn't Sienna get cheated on why is she passing it on to another woman?

Oh so this is why people are still confused about the Prius! So-called "automotive engineers" are spreading false info: 2000 pounds in lead-acid batteries? Haha, that's not even close!

"Victoria Beckham wants reporters to sign contract limiting questions."

Riiiiiight, like that's gonna fly with the world press. She needs them a lot more than they need her. Who does this vapid, no-talent, anorexic, bimbo-wannabe think she is?

I'll bet money the show gets yanked before the fourth episode airs.

The Prius is still ugly

margo rubble, i imagine it bothers you because you get it and cameron diaz doesn't and yet she's got the microphone (so to speak.) i suggest we all take st. louis's advice and have a nice glass of wine while our spouse or sig. other fixes dinner. cheers!

Notice I didn't single out his comment on the straight-4 lawnmower engine or topping out at 105, just that my golf cart isn't carrying a ton of batteries... just a quarter-ton.

You don't want to catch me ridin' dirty in me Prius. I gots rims on it n' everything!

First off, I totally agree with Lisa1. Leave Danielynn alone. But, how in the world does a baby whose eyes can barely focus get to be considered "influential."

Now we see how well shielding the little Gorelets from the Dead Kennedys turned out!

I, too, find it funny that Paris' 3rd hotel choice was a Hilton!!

hahaha! i had the same thought 'let's hear it for tipper!'

Looks AG Jr. has an Inconvenient Truth to deal with, doesn't it?

100 MPH is very green, isn't it? Or is AG III doing the "Carbon Neutral" shell game, just like his dear ol' Dad?

You know celebrity news has a short attention span when you read things like "The couple married back in November 2005." Back in? That is not even two years ago, and they make it sound like ancient history!

Amy Winehouse's hair is more influential than Katie Holmes. Give me a break.

Al Gore III has been the family "black sheep" for some time... didn't he get kicked out of St Albans for drug possession a few years ago? The Prius going 100mph was definitely the most surprising part of the post :)

Thanks h3 for your endocrinologist friend, I was wondering the same thing -- how is it physically possible that Nicole Richie is pregnant? There's no way that 82-lb., knocking-on-death's-door anorexic could even be menstruating, let alone pregnant.

Amy Winehouse hospitalized -- for being a nutcase, perhaps?

Hopefully Kim P. will break up w/Fluffy for good. "just trying to be a better boyfriend" baby-daddy isn't good enough and I hope she realizes that for her and her children's sake.

SoMD, driving fast in a prius affects your mpg, but it's like that in any car, so you're still using less gas than other vehicles. And your emissions are still cleaner. So AG III was greener than anyone else doing 100 mph on the freeway that night.

arlington: "So AG III was greener than anyone else doing 100 mph on the freeway that night."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Wait, were you serious???? If so, ... I'm sorry, there really is no witty response to a statement that stupid.

Return to the planet from whence you came.

I think Cameron Diaz's comments were taken out of context--if I recall, she was explaining why she was in favour of environental responsibility, i.e. that we need to act now rather than wait until we all go to hell in a handbasket and end up back in the Stone Age.

petal- just read your post on fluff-daddy and couldn't agree more! I've always wondered why the women flock to this clown-I'm sure this brother can afford Invisalign, braces or some kind dental work that can help keep that always slightly ajar mouth closed. Evidently, the British think this cat is cool, hence Sienna Miller, the invite to the Diana concert, constant coverage in the Daily Mirror, etc.
