"Humanitarian socialite Paris Hilton planning Rwanda visit..."

That's a big, fat, slow pitch right over the middle of the plate, isn't it? Makes you just want to sit back and watch the home run derby.

"Sources close to 33-year-old Kate [Moss], said that Sunday's engagement isn't formal but it's Kate's way of showing her love for Jamie - who she has been dating for a few weeks....

"They had spent the night making love and Kate asked him during that.

"He was overjoyed because that's what he wanted, too."

Meanwhile, a source close to unofficial fiancé Jamie Hince said he just *knew* that old "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" thing would work.

to see who looks more like Claus von Stauffenberg - Posh or Cruise.

Elizabeth and James = Mary Kate & Ashley's younger bro & sis. Isn't dat tweet?

Does anyone else just want to lock Tom Cruise in his underground bunker so that we don't ever have to here him talk, ever again.

McCheater is what Taye Diggs should be called. He cheats on his wife with anything that is drunk and breathing.

i would love to have seen the look on the cop's face when he realized he'd pulled over jack bauer.

I think Keira Knightley's self-esteem would improve considerably if she would just stop telling anyone with a tape recorder or video camera how low her self-esteem is. Criminy.

When will people learn from pop culture; don't leave evidence. What is the point of having CSI, Boston Legal, Law and Order, Closer, Cold Case, etc, if you are still leaving evidence of your stupidity? It will only end up on the internet and cost you in legal fees and social embarrassment. Oscar de la Hoya is finding out the hard way. Learn from his mistake.

Is it just me or does the brouhaha at the wedding seem like just a bunch of rednecks getting drunk and fighting? What's next, Kate hitting Sienna over the head with an empty Jack Daniels bottle after a night of video poker?

Also, if I were to try and think of what celebrity would be best to travel to Rwanda to help get the word out about the problems they face there, Paris Hilton would be probably number 3,568,999 on the list, somewhere between Michael Richards and the "leave Britney alone" kid.

Hmmm, McChocolatey. I don't know whether to be hungry or horny.

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

Karrine Stephens has written another book shamelessly flaunting her ho-rror stories in the guise of a positive self-help book for other potential hoes. "It's so exciting and fun to f*ck all these men, and I have no intentions of stopping, but don't you decide to be like me, although you would have lots of fun and money." She sickens me.

I'm so disgusted I might just cancel my order on Amazon.

Yeah X files movie.

Boo Jessica as Wonder Woman.

Well of course two talented and intelligent mental giants like Kate and Sienna would argue. I mean, who gets to wear the black tights? Worth fighting for.

Stick asked, "...does the brouhaha at the wedding seem like just a bunch of rednecks getting drunk and fighting?"

In England they'd replace 'rednecks' with 'slappers' or 'chavs'. (And then they'd answer, "Yes.")

Well, skipping over the fact that the Olsen story is one of the worst written pieces I've seen all week (subject-verb agreement issues, etc etc), is it just me, or is that stuff u-g-l-y, you-ain'-got-no-alibi-you-UGLY????

I wouldn't wear that if I was, uh, Mary Kate Olsen.

That Kanye video is funny. He said that he is the number one human being "in music." Although I wouldn't have been surprised if he had said he was the number one human in the world. Hey, he's enjoying his success with a few drinks, got a lil tipsy. What's wrong with that? He actually seems a little bit in awe that people like him more than 50 cent, which means that despite all his trash-talking, he was insecure.

Lisa1, how do you know this about Taye Diggs? I hadn't seen anything anywhere and I read all the gossip sites. Also, I think Biel is fantastic for WW. She is hot and strong and will look good in the outfit.

I don't know what I find more frightening the fact that the Paris Hilton story isn't in the rumor mill or the sinking fear that she'll pull a Madonna while in Rwanda.

If the clothes look anything like the frock MK&A Olsen wear on a daily basis, I don't foresee a healthy bottom line in sales.

I guess this means that Kate, Pete, the drugged out cat and the pipe aren't going to live happily ever after. Those darn kids, I really saw them making it.

Of course Keira has self esteem issues, I bet they stem from her being so very overweight.

Since when is $90 for a t-shirt affordable? (From the article about Mary Kate and Ashley's clothing line) No average person can afford that! It just goes to show that some stars are so removed from reality that they have no idea what the rest of us are doing.

"u-g-l-y, you-ain'-got-no-alibi-you-UGLY"

Margo, I completely coughed up coffee trying to read that an unmute during a pointless call.

I am scared for the people of Rwanda. PH is coming, and her legendary door of opportunity is not exactly what the people have in mind. Madonna and Angie adopt children... Will Paris be adopting a new man?

ok so multitasking is not my specialty...

For 10:16 AM:
For info. about Taye Diggs who according to TMZ is "The Married Man who never with his wife" visit: Bossip and TMZ.

"Since when is $90 for a t-shirt affordable? (From the article about Mary Kate and Ashley's clothing line) No average person can afford that! It just goes to show that some stars are so removed from reality that they have no idea what the rest of us are doing."

Exactly. And a plain-old T-shirt dress for over $600 is "affordable"?

I have heard regular rumors that Taye Diggs is gay. He and his wife met when they were in a musical together, and she was widely known to be his beard.

Most celebrity fashion lines are not for regular people but for other celebrities that's why T-Shirts are $90 and up. Celebrity fashion lines for regular people are in stores like K-Mart, Target, and Wal-Mart where the T-shirt is $7.99.

"Does anyone else just want to lock Tom Cruise in his underground bunker so that we don't ever have to here him talk, ever again."

A resounding YES!!!!!!!!

Tom Cruise locking up -- Big time yes.

The mon chi-chi clothing line -- have you looked at some women's magazines about what they consider affordable? $90 would be about right for them.

You know what, I am actually going to give Paris the benefit of the doubt on this one. She may really being trying to change. Since the papparazzi follow her everywhere, why not go somewhere the publicity can do some good?

For $90 I could buy 45 t-shirts at Walgreens. I just read that Venus Williams is doing a clothing line where all the peices are under $20.00. I also believe the Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing is along the same price scale. $90 for a t-shirt or $375 for a jacket, ugly or not, is not considered affordable, at least not in the real world

I hope Jessica Biel take the Wonder Woman role and her career crash and burn. It's not because she dating JT and she can probably kick my a@#. I just think she's a terrible actress and want her to go away.

They sell T-shirts at Walgreens?

What are Angelina Jolie's qualifications for meeting with foreign dignitaries exactly? Isn't this something our diplomats/ambassadors/etc. should be doing? Would this British guy be meeting with some celebrity to "discuss foreign policy" if it wasn't a vampy sex kitten with big lips and a big chest?

If Keira Knightley is "sick of being rated on her appearance", why does she keep talking about it?

They sell T-shirts at Walgreens?

The one near me sells them 5 for $10.00.

Hey, don't fool yourself. Of course a little leg helps diplomacy. It's a well-known fact.
However, I think Angie probably does have something intelligent to say.

"What are Angelina Jolie's qualifications for meeting with foreign dignitaries exactly?"

Angelina Jolie has been the United Nations High Commission for Refugees Goodwill Ambassador for six years. Even if she started from scratch, one presumes she's learned something in that time.

From UNHCR.org:
"Since early 2001, renowned American actress Angelina Jolie has travelled the world with UNHCR to help refugees. She has worked with field staff and met with refugees in over 20 countries."

So, while she may not be democratically elected (like such foreign-service luminaries as George "Give Me A Pronunciation Guide On The Teleprompter" W. Bush), she probably has some credibility and contacts within the diplomatic community.

She's also not the first celebrity to get a diplomatic posting.

For instance, Shirley Temple Black was appointed as a delegate to the United Nations by Nixon and later served as US Ambassador to Ghana and to Czechoslovakia.

My qualifications are somewhat less stellar: I am merely the unofficial badwill ambassador from the frozen North.

While I agree Chelsea's picture should not have been hung at the eatery without her permission, the letter from her father's attorney is at least 4 years late. Why let it hang for 5 years without objection? I do like how the owner is going to hang the letter in its place.

Shrub was not democratically elected. Certainly not the first time, when he was appointed by the Supreme Court; the second time ... well, Diebold voting machines and his friends in high places in swing states have cast a lot of suspicion on that election.

Keira Knightley makes me think of the oblivious skinny woman who always complains to her much larger friends about how "fat" she is. For the record, I'm a size 2, not one of the angry/bitter fat people Knightley refers to in the link. I can see where the anorexia rumors would get old, but stop complaining about how fat and unattractive you are if you're tired of hearing about how skinny and attractive you are! This is really not rocket science . . .

1 - Yo! Ixnay on the angelina-bray uffstay. It's been a pretty peaceful place here the last few weeks without the dueling posts from The Brangelina PR Collective, and Brangelina Disinformation Service Ltd. One word about her and our reverie will be shattered.

2 - Sorry about the coffee, unmute.

will someone explain to me what was so funny about the britney-guy quote in the updates to gene's chat today? i'm having serious mid-week brain lock and can't see what was amusing... help!

Wonder what happened to Che?

Angie is also on the Council of Foreign Relations.

sorry, Council ON. Mistype there.

I think Che got a job in the Bush adminstration.

Theory: The Angelina Defense Team is made up of people who wandered, lost, for so many years after Diana died.

"will someone explain to me what was so funny about the britney-guy quote in the updates to gene's chat today?"

- I couldn't figure it out, either, unless it revolves around the world "spunk", which still wasn't funny.

Umm, that should have read word spunk, not world spunk.

hah, here you go: Che is Bush's speechwriter:

"I couldn't figure it out, either, unless it revolves around the world "spunk", which still wasn't funny."

thanks, Cubeland. I'm guessing I'm missing a pun somewhere in there, too...

Size 8, Keira, and I bet I get more action than youuuuu dooooooo! lol

"Angie is also on the Council of Foreign Relations."

She is not smart and is really insecure.

Re: the Tom Cruise bunker:

Doesn't Scientology also have some ridiculous bunker somewhere in Utah that is supposed to also withstand armageddon and preserve Scientology sacred texts, etc? I heard it also has some sort of sign so that aliens can find it when they come to earth and read all about Scientology. For reals.

I wonder what's the Scientology take on alien abductions?

You know I think Che has abandoned us because there was a time when he had "he who must not be named" status. Now, however, it seems that you can type Che til the cows come home and nothing happens.

If you say his name 3 times, he appears...Che...Che...Ch

Isn't the whole point of Scientology that if they spend the money and take all the classes that eventually the aliens WILL come back and abduct them?

Yes! Scientologists are all about the aliens coming to get them and take them home... It sounds like a joke, but sadly, it's for real... Crazy.

Re.: P.H. visiting Rwanda
Haven't those poor people suffered enough? God forbid she'll jump on the adoption bandwagon.

"Hey, don't fool yourself. Of course a little leg helps diplomacy. It's a well-known fact."

Of course it is -- how do you think Kissinger managed to do so well? :D
