"I WANT a fatwa. I used to see Salman Rushdie in the Sky Bar in L.A. He wasn't in hiding; he became world-renowned for his fatwa. So why can't I get a fatwa? Don't they read my stuff?" -- Conservative commentator/author Ann Coulter, who I'm sure can be easily obliged

Maybe if Ann Coulter wrote ANYTHING of substance, instead of spewing crap out her a$$, we would care.

Posted by: st. louis | September 25, 2007 8:42 AM

Hmm, that Ann Coulter quote makes me think Gene was onto something with his Ann Coulter as performance art theory.

Posted by: M Street, D.C. | September 25, 2007 8:44 AM

Maybe if Rosie got help for the behavior she describes in her book, she would not be sabotaging the release with her self-destructiveness. She would probably be happier too.

If I only had a dime for every time I saw "Breast Tape Assistant to Mariah Carey" on the resumes posted at Monster.com...

Posted by: byoolin | September 25, 2007 9:05 AM

Tina Yothers. Huh. Hadn't thought of her since watching that made-for-telly masterpiece, "Laker Girls", some handfuls of years ago. Riveting stuff, that "Laker Girls". Karen Black. What an obscure reference.

Posted by: Thor | September 25, 2007 9:07 AM

i'm amazed that timberlake admitted he missed shows due to being hungover. in sports we call it 'flu-like symptoms'. works every time.

Posted by: methinks | September 25, 2007 9:09 AM

Ann Coulter is a pig, just a pig. I might be more inclined to read her stuff if she didn't resort to such vile rhetoric. Ugh.

Posted by: JA | September 25, 2007 9:14 AM

Perhaps less tape should be applied to Ms. Carey's bosoms and more to Ms. Coulter's mouth.

Posted by: Lacie | September 25, 2007 9:20 AM

Methinks, JT fans know he likes to party and never passes up a drink.
The only time he cancels anything is because he is hung-over. There were too many pictures of him at various clubs in Vegas. It was surprising he even performed at the VMAs.

Posted by: Lisa1 | September 25, 2007 9:33 AM

Does anyone think Maya Rudolph was funny? I'm suprised she lasted as long as she did. Her impressions weren't good, especially her Whitney and Oprah impressions. She doesn't sound or look anything like them. Doesn't SNL have enough money to get her some darker makeup and a good wig at least? Her Whitney impressions during Weekend Update were painful to watch.

I think Debra Wilson of Mad TV did much better Oprah and Whitney impressions.

And in Bronx Beat, on SNL, Amy Poelher gets all the laughs, and rightfully so.

Posted by: Mina | September 25, 2007 9:44 AM

I can't help but find the Miley Cyrus piece a bit funny. Yes, I get it - she's a great role model and she doesn't party and sleep around like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. I think she's a little haughty and should have some more humility. Actions speak louder than words - if she's really so much better than these other teen stars, it will show through her work and press and she won't have to flaunt it.

Plus, she's only fourteen. The girls she's comparing herself to are in their twenties. Let's see how she deals with life when she's no longer a child.

Doesn't Ann think if anyone was going to call a fatwa on her it might be those 'harpy 9/11 widows'?

In case Ms. Coulter missed the cultural cues not many men in power in the Middle East would be paying attention to anything a woman wrote.

Posted by: JES | September 25, 2007 10:10 AM

What, no mention of the Meg White video?

Posted by: TonyR | September 25, 2007 10:17 AM

Hey, JES!
Not many people here pay much attention to Coulter either! (I second the taping of the mouth, does Mariah have anyone that she can loan out)

Posted by: MD | September 25, 2007 10:19 AM


Since Miley Cyrus is part of the Disney machine, I'll say in 5yrs she will be in rehab and Lindsay Lohan will be sober buddy.

I have been looking for a new career, how does one apply for breast tape assistant or better...breast tape supervisor.

Posted by: jake e. poo | September 25, 2007 10:29 AM

I would love to be the first to declare a fatwa on Anne Coulter, but my agnostic/atheist bible doesn't give me much guidance on how to do it. Maybe it was covered in one of the sermons that I missed.

Anyway, I thought AC had body image issues, and wouldn't let an ounce of fatwa anywhere near her body.

Posted by: Cubeland, MD | September 25, 2007 10:32 AM

'Anyway, I thought AC had body image issues, and wouldn't let an ounce of fatwa anywhere near her body.'

Too funny. Does anyone else believe what Kathy Griffin has said about Ms. Coulter, that's she's nothing more than the dirty pin-up girl for the far right?

Posted by: JES | September 25, 2007 10:41 AM

Yes. AC gives Limbaugh wet dreams.

Posted by: Anonymous | September 25, 2007 11:06 AM

No, Anne, you don't need a fatwa, you need a big stick up your butt.

I totally agree. You'd think the celebs would learn from each others mistakes.

Wait, I just read the Charlie Sheen thing. That sperm donation rumor was really true? If so, then Denise really is mental.

Posted by: POS | September 25, 2007 11:25 AM

Ann Coulter, who regularly forgets to put her brain in gear before engaging her run-amok mouth, makes me wish I knew a radical Muslim fundamentalist who would happily grant her wish.

Posted by: niceFLguy | September 25, 2007 11:28 AM

"Mariah Carey's entourage includes breast tape assistant..."

Now there's a job that would get me out of bed every morning. I'd tape those puppies and buff 'em to a shine.

Ann Coulter and Chris Crocker--two shrill self-promoters both way past their fifteen minutes of "fame?"

Posted by: Tim O | September 25, 2007 11:47 AM

Re: the dirty pin-up girl that is Ann Coulter

TOTALLY! No one would listen to her if she weren't a leggy blonde. I think most of the right is just waiting to see her cross and uncross her legs on a day she forgot to wear panties ala Sharon Stone / Britney.

Victoria Beckham, stop trying to wrest the spotlight onto yourself at any cost. No one cares. And you've only been here what, a few months? Chill out and have a sandwich. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Posted by: Californian who is thankfully far enough away from L.A. not to see the Becks | September 25, 2007 12:11 PM

Doesn't everyone know that AC used to be a man? Check out the Adam's apple!

Posted by: Anonymous | September 25, 2007 12:33 PM

Maybe if the Beckhams actually did something we cared about like, getting DUIs or going into rehab or played almost any sport but soccer, we'd care.

But since they're soccer-playing-non-drunk-driving parents, they're off our radar.

Now maybe Maya Rudolph will get back w/The Rentals & give us some decent music again.

Hurray for Timberlake for being the first performer to ever admit a hangover instead of "exhaustion."

Maya Rudolph needs to do her Donatella Versace sketch *just one more time* - that's all I ask!! Love that.

Oh, and Ms. Coulter isn't going to get a fatwa until she produces TWICE as much offensive material as Salman Rushdie ever did - remember, a woman counts for half a man in some Islamic cultures, if she counts at all.

Posted by: Maritza | September 25, 2007 3:25 PM

Ann Coulter is not worthy of a Fatwa (it pains me to say, since I wish someone would take her out Sopranos style) her writing is asinine. Its all name-calling, lies and half-truths. Nothing she writes can be backed up with actual facts, which is why I don't understand why she is given a forum. My dislike of her has nothing to do with my political leanings, if she wrote anything substitive she'd just be another right wing cheerleader in the line of Bill Kristol, Robert Novak or David Brooks (see I read other things beside Celebritology) but she doesn't. So to even compare herself to the likes of Salman Rushdie is just a huge, transexual joke.

So who's more of a girl? Ann Coulter or Chris Crocker? Betcha Chris Crocker has a nicer hoo-hah.

Fellow car manufacturer Peugeot SA added 1.09 or 1.94 pct to 57.39. Today's figures on October European car registrations also provided support, with Renault showing a 2.5 pct rise year on year, compared to a 10.5 pct decline in September, and Peugeot registering a 3.8 pct increase. Alstom also reversed course, after suffering heavy profit taking in recent days as investors sought to lock in gains amid the market uncertainty. At midday, Alstom was up 6.41 or 4.49 pct at 149.09. At market close yesterday, the share was down more than 13 pct over the week. ArcelorMittal gained 2.14 or 4.36 pct to 51.17, after exceeding consensus estimates with its third quarter figures today. Shares in the steel manufacturer had fallen in the run up to the results announcement, amid talk that the group might disappoint with its third quarter figures. Outside the CAC 40, renewable energy generator Theolia (OOTC:THIXF) rose sharply, adding 1.52 or 7.97 pct to 20.58...http://super-blog-here.com/

It's called the Lexus IS F. In order to understand the IS F and its genesis, the first thing that you have to understand is that Yaguchi is an enthusiast, a performance hard case who loves to drive fine, responsive equipment. For the 30 years he's been at Toyota, he's wanted to build a car he wanted to drive, a car he'd love to own. During his tenure at Lexus, Yaguchi has worked on the first and second iterations of the Lexus LS luxury sedan, the turbocharged Toyota Supra and the first Lexus GS sport sedan. But none of those...http://i-love-news.com/

Honda used to occupy this territory, but surrendered it with the demise of the Prelude. Of course, the other thing they note is the much smaller price tag, the Nissan starting in the mid 20s and working hard to eclipse $40,000, while the new Infiniti G37 requires a minimum of $47,350. Naturally, there are some sacrifices for Nissan's relatively bargain basement price. First off, the Infiniti gets 330 horsepower from its 3.7 litre V6, while the Altima Coupe sports 270 hp. That's about as much as the Nissan can handle as, unlike the G37, the Altima Coupe is a front driver. You can get a little torque steer from the front tires with the right combination of enthusiasm and slippery road. That makes a comparison with a Honda Accord...http://new-blog-for-you.com/

MARCOS Ambrose has produced the best finish to a season by a foreigner in a NASCAR series for 33 years. Ambrose's sixth top 10 result of the year in the Ford 300 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Florida saw him end up eighth in this year's Busch standings. It made the 2003 and 2004 V8 champion the first non North American driver to finish in the top 10 in any of NASCARs three national championship divisions. The last non United States driver to achieve the feat was Canadian Earl Ross, who finished eighth in the NASCAR Nextel Cup standings in...http://site-with-content.com/

rns defeated the Aggies in the second round of the NCAA women's soccer tournament 3 2 on Saturday night, the Longhorns' first victory in College Station. "They (Aggies fans behind the goal) were showing me some love," Pfenninger said with a laugh. "At the end of the game, I decided I would turn around, show them some love and give them the hook 'em sign." With one second left in the game, Aggies forward Melissa Garey lofted a potential tying shot, but Pfenninger jumped and caught it, sealing the win.

I have never been much in favour of online shopping.

The Senate Finance Committee began searching for a compromise on how to deal with the estate tax's uncertain future. The tax, which is applied to inherited assets, is scheduled to disappear in 2010 only to come back in 2011 at the higher exemptions and rates that were in effect prior to 2001, when Congress cut the estate tax. Groups representing family owned businesses have urged Congress to make estate tax repeal permanent, but even their supporters concede that's not going to happen. "We can't get that done," said Sen. Jim Bunning, R Ky. "I support repeal, but we need certainty in this area," said Sen. Max Baucus, D Mont., who chairs the Senate Finance Committee. At a Nov. 14 hearing, the committee heard from billionaire investor Warren Buffett, Nevada rancher Dean Rhoads and Iowa manufacturer Eugene Sukup. Buffett, chairman and CEO of Omaha, Neb. based Berkshire Hathaway, recommended keeping the...http://blog-about-finance.com/
