"I was craving bone marrow one day, and I scoured the whole of Paris searching for the leg of a cow. When I finally found what I was looking for, I cut it in half, digging out the yellowish substance, slathering it all over bread." -- Milla Jovovich talks about her pregnancy cravings

Mmm...bone marrow...

Posted by: surlychick | October 19, 2007 8:24 AM

Brit's judge needs to do two things: first, issue blanket restraining orders against the paps; second, order Brit to GET A DRIVER.

The Bureau has issued a warrant for Mr. Copperfield, who has yet to be located.

"It's like he just - poof - disappeared," said one Bureau agent.

I love Milla, and I respect the overwhelming power of pregnancy cravings, but OMG I feel sick.....

Posted by: Omaha | October 19, 2007 9:02 AM

I agree that bone marrow is not my first choice when I'm in the midst of a pregnancy-crave; however, it is quite the delicacy and even a staple in French restaurants.

I wouldn't knock it until I've tried it... that being said, I have no desire to try it!

Great Moments In Journalism With "Us" Magazine's Noelle Hancock:

"A Valkyrie set source would not reveal [TomKat's] whereabouts, but said, "I was told it's New York.""

Not to put too fine a point on it, but isn't that kind of the same thing as revealing their whereabouts?

Posted by: byoolin | October 19, 2007 9:09 AM

I think Milla Jovovich should join that country singing show and eat Big & Rich.

Seriously...

We need to get rid of those two before they kill country dead.

Second to that Pompous!

Whenever I hear

"the girls they are so prit - tay"

I just want to throw the radio out the window - but usually I just settle for changing the station.

You know, I've had a really tough week too, so, what the heck, let's just pick things up on Tuesday.

...and on the sixth, seventh and eighth days He rested.

Posted by: byoolin | October 19, 2007 9:40 AM

how do you crave something like bone marrow? does that mean you've eaten it before? i feel sick.

Posted by: Anonymous | October 19, 2007 9:44 AM

So is Oprah going to have to have Seinfeld back to berate her for plagarism like she did with James Frey for lying? Or does $20K in shoes give her a pass on this?

Posted by: Anonymous | October 19, 2007 10:00 AM

Per the bone-marrow thing:

Okay, I laughed when I saw that, because I could understand that. I even ate some bone marrow last night. Though I didn't hunt down a leg and spread it fresh - I had Osso Buco.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossobuco
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow#Bone_marrow_as_a_food

Marrow is actually pretty tasty (I can't describe it - it's one of those things that has a unique taste). However, I can't conceive of breaking open a bone and eating it raw - that does sound a bit icky.

Finding hard to feel sorry for the pap who had his foot run over... He was wearing socks w/sandals for God's sake, it was practically an invitation!

Posted by: jes | October 19, 2007 10:12 AM

Ha! I noticed that too, Jes. If you're going to stand in front of a car driven by a psycho, wear steel toed boots.

Posted by: jake e. poo | October 19, 2007 10:25 AM

I guess that makes Stewart ineligible as Colbert's veep.

Posted by: yellojkt | October 19, 2007 10:27 AM

Not a Britney fan, but I hope his foot got broken.

The girl is going through a very public breakdown. Do they REALLY think it's smart to stand IN FRONT OF her car with big cameras with bigger flashes?

I know they can get paid a lot for these photos, but give me a break...or in this case give one of them a broken foot.

Who would WANT to be a celebrity nowadays with that kind of interference in your life?

Posted by: Chasmosaur1 | October 19, 2007 10:32 AM

Look, it's bad enough that Maureen McCormick has admitted to lesbian tendencies, did cocaine, and has had the nerve to turn 51. But now she wants to do a country music show? My adolescence is now officially shredded.

Posted by: Rex | October 19, 2007 10:34 AM

Maybe Katie isn't preggers, but how is JLo looking these days? Last week she looked about 6 months pregnant.
Probably the give away will be when she is stalking small animals with a cleaver and spreading them on toast.

Posted by: POS | October 19, 2007 10:39 AM

lol POS

Posted by: Anonymous | October 19, 2007 10:45 AM

Twit does not get to scream at the paparrazi to leave her alone when she bloody calls them and tells them where she is. That said, the guy was an idiot for standing too close to a crazy person's care -- while wearing socks with sandals no less.

God, we need to change the title of this blog to something that incorporates our fashion police tendencies.

Posted by: ep | October 19, 2007 10:47 AM

i have TMZs headlines for next week:
Mon - "Brit in new hit and run"
Tues - "Brit hits another Pap with Car"
Wed - "Brit locks self/keys in car"
Thurs - "Brit and Run - again!"
and lets get it clear - this will continue to be 'breaking news' for as long as she draws a breath. Would that werent the case, but it is...

(getting a driver defeats the purpose... this gets her attn - so she'll continue to do it)

Posted by: Quintilus Varus | October 19, 2007 10:53 AM

Is it wrong that what really bothers me about the Milla Jovavich quote isn't the vampirish image of cracking open bones to suck out the marrow, but that she used the phrase "yellowish substance?" Really? It sounds so awkward. Who talks like that? Ick.

Posted by: Stef | October 19, 2007 11:04 AM

quintilus varus, are you related to pompous magnus?

just curious.

Posted by: b | October 19, 2007 11:08 AM

Any word on if the paparazzo was wearing pleated pants as well?

With the number of drugs I suspect Winehouse has swirling around her system the arrest for weed is a bit of a let down.

Posted by: petal | October 19, 2007 11:10 AM

I've eaten roasted beef marrow in the manner described and it's actually darn tasty.

It was served as a third course at a formal dinner party, several years ago, and I consented to try it only after several of the other diners Ooohed and Ahhhed about how good it was. I've since seen it on the menus of several upscale restaurants, and I've thought about ordering it, but I've always found something else on the menu that intrigued me more.

In any case, I can't imagine eating marrow raw. That would be disgusting. But Milla is Ukrainian (I think) and maybe that's how they do it over there.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket | October 19, 2007 11:14 AM

If Brit were smart (yes, yes, we dodged a bullet *there*), she'd stage her comeback on the Demolition Derby circuit.

Posted by: byoolin | October 19, 2007 11:15 AM

"If Brit were smart..." we would have far less to blog and snark about all day. :-)

Posted by: Helena Handbasket | October 19, 2007 11:20 AM

Ha! Oprah makes a best seller of a plagiariser again. When I plagiarise my book, I hope my agent can get me a spot on O. I'll be soooo grateful. I mean $50,000 worth of shoes grateful. ;-)

Posted by: Turq | October 19, 2007 11:21 AM

Not the Two Corys! First Wham! and now THIS! Good Lord will it never stop?

Posted by: Stick | October 19, 2007 11:23 AM

It never says Jovovich ate the marrow *raw*
That stuff is delicious, and it's far less bizarre than my pregnancy cravings for spicy okra pickles and coffee ice cream washed down with V-8.

Posted by: O.L. | October 19, 2007 11:26 AM

o.l. - ewwwww. coffee ice cream and v-8.

Posted by: bm | October 19, 2007 11:37 AM

If Iggy were a pit bull... Michael Vick probably would have already solved the conflict.

Posted by: Libidinous Johnson | October 19, 2007 11:42 AM

"digging out the yellowish substance, slathering it all over bread."

Raw marrow is yellow in color. It turns brown once the bones have been roasted.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket | October 19, 2007 11:46 AM

Marrow is so delicious! I eat it in soups and it's my favorite part but I don't think it's a favorite w/ the american palette.

mmmmm... marrow, ahhhhh

Posted by: Anonymous | October 19, 2007 11:47 AM

Not a big Brit fan either but can't say I'm sorry for the potog. Any video footage you see of them taking pictures of celebs trying to drive away they are always way to close. What do they expect falshing lights in someones eyes and hovering near moving cars. You'd think they'd learn to stay back and use a different lens. As for the sandal and sock comments well...I just won't go there. Never can understand that fashion statement.

Posted by: Anonymous | October 19, 2007 12:22 PM

It's kind of refreshing to see a human publicly embrace our biology as scavengers (no, humans are not predators). If I had to crack open leg bones to get something, I would definitely be vegan.

Is it just me or does Katie Holmes look really puffy in the face? I'm not surprised she treats her infant like her best girlfriend, considering she ditched her real girlfriends once she hooked up with whacko hubby. Must be rather lonely there in her infantile bedroom suite with its carousels and dollies.

Fluff aside, though, very sad news about Lucky Dube's murder. :-(

Posted by: Californian | October 19, 2007 12:25 PM

I have to say I am shocked to learn people voluntarilty eat bone marrow and think it's tasty. I don't care how deelish it is. It's bone marrow? What's next? Cat livers? Pig testicles? Raw fish eggs?

Posted by: EWWWWW | October 19, 2007 12:26 PM

It is clear that fear is not a factor for Milla.

Posted by: Anonimis | October 19, 2007 12:27 PM

Aren't raw fish eggs ... caviar?

Aren't testicles ... Rocky Mountain Oysters?

Posted by: That ship has sailed ... | October 19, 2007 12:52 PM

to EWWWWW:

That's okay - more for us. Want some of my sweetbreads?....

Posted by: Chasmosaur | October 19, 2007 12:59 PM

Also, isn't liver in patee. (Apologies, I do not not know how to spell the spread).

Posted by: unmute | October 19, 2007 1:06 PM

As un-PC as this sounds, Milla is not vegan/vegetarian and it appears she does not believe of wasting. At least with her, all of the animal is being used. Its life was not in vain.

Posted by: unmute | October 19, 2007 1:13 PM

I thought it was some kind of mock frog...

Posted by: byoolin | October 19, 2007 2:35 PM

"Aren't raw fish eggs ... caviar?

Aren't testicles ... Rocky Mountain Oysters?"

Get out! Really? Raw fish eggs are caviar? And people actually eat testicles? I had no idea when I wrote what I wrote! Next thing you know, you'll be telling me the sky is blue!

Posted by: EWWWWW | October 19, 2007 2:47 PM

Q: What do Rocky Mountain Oysters and EWWWWWW have in common?

A: They're both a little testes today...

Posted by: byoolin | October 19, 2007 2:57 PM

Milla Jovovich should be arrested for stem cell research.

Posted by: L L L | October 19, 2007 4:09 PM

There is no place to comment on James Watson's remarkably racist comments since most of the articles were written by the AP. So let me just say that I worked at NIH and NIHGR under James Watson. He was miserable, particular, and peculiar back then. He and Bernadine Healy, then-Chief Officer at NIH, hated each other with a passion because of his utter misogyny. Crick, his Nobel co-laureate, didn't particularly care for him either. In my estimation, he is probably in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease and has literally lost the part of the brain that censors his racist, misogynistic speech before it passes his lips. But it was always there.
