First Britney doesn't even know the dog isn't with her, then she wants to know if they can have it delivered by messenger?

Britney, Britney, Britney, the judge doesn't have to be respectful to you. You are in his court where he holds authority. You are in his presence because you are a bad parent and for that you do not deserve any respect (and to be honest your music doesn't earn you much respect in my book as well). Your lawyer should probably discuss with you proper court behavior for your next appearance.

Somebody please explain to me why the H-ll John Travolta is playing JR Ewing? I still don't understand this.

Somebody please explain to me why Donald Trump is such a putz?

The Donald is a moron.

Do you believe OJ would say "Bring firearms?" Who says "firearms" besides law enforcement?

Britney: "So this guy, wearing an ugly black dress was all, like, judging me."

It's firepower, Turq, not firearms.

Oh Ben, I feel your pain. "...I'd forsake my teachers to go sit in the bleachers, in flagant truancy..."

Turq, OJ's been around law enforcement enough to pick up the lingo.

What has Brit done...ever...to deserve anyone's respect?

Oh, man, I love that Britney quote. He's a JUDGE, dude. You have to respect him. I mean...oh, never mind.

I don't think Juice would say "hey, bring some firepower" either, but the article says:

"O.J. said, 'Hey, just bring some firearms,'" Alexander told Las Vegas authorities, per the Associated Press."He said...'We won't have to use 'em, but...just to look tough, you know, so that these people know that, you know, we're here for business."

as much as i hope the tribe prevails, i can totally empathize w/ben affleck's leaving the screening to watch his team in the ALCS. one of the worst nights of my life was when i was stuck in the theater, watching a play, while the Braves were losing to the Yankees in the '96 world series.

Owen Wilson was drunk?

I am *the worst* sober buddy ever.

That just shows I need to read the headline a little closer. I read the end section where today's chat would be about " Brit, Owen, Kirsten, Vanessa, Ellen and, of course, Iggy" and I thought, "Cool -- Iggy Pop's doing something new these days? Great!"

Leave Vanessa Hudgens alone. My nieces love HSM 1 &2 and they don't care about Vanessa's nudie pictures. She seems like a nice kid and who dresses appropriately for her age although her boyfriend does wear more lip gloss than she does. Vanessa will have a successful career ahead with or without the Disney Machine.

'"I'm not saying she's not an attractive woman, but she's not a great beauty by any stretch of the imagination." -- Donald Trump on Angelina Jolie'

First, Liz, *please* don't ever use the phrase "Donald Trump on Angelina Jolie" again. I can't even close my eyes now.

Second, I'm not saying he's not a wealthy and influential man, but on the topic of Angelina Jolie, he's just talking out of his a$$. -- byoolin on Donald Trump

Well,considering the "beauty" of his various wives, I'd say The Donald's standards are perfect if you like some one who has been nipped, tucked, plumped and generally disfigured to look like a blow-up doll.

I'm pretty sure I viewed a tabloid picture some years back depicting Mandy Rogers (better known as Portia de Rossi) exiting a market with a small dog in her purse.

Assuming the recollection as true (and not an ascorbic acid flashback), what sort of animal rescue organization places a needy animal with a dame who keeps a dog in a handbag?

On the other hand, there's Ellen's waterworks-enhanced reenactment of a kinder, gentler, 2007 version of THE FISHER KING on her media platform. One hopes the results are slightly less lethal.

Just can't figure which dog to back in this fight: well-meaning but inept Mr. "My name is Tanya" Wilhelm, or the Sunshine Carpet Cleaners.

i had the *exact same thought* re: "iggy," centrevillemom! i didn't even know the dog had a name.

Actually, NO ONE RESPECTS YOU, Britney. Some are just paid to put up with you.

Iggy wants to be your dog.

Whoa.

-- byoolin on Donald Trump

UGH, now I can't close my eyes!

I washed immediately after typing it.

Oh, poor methinks!

I've got tix to a play in Boston next Sat and I have a wonderful boyf who agreed to the matinee. I would be about 4th in line to shoot myself if I were in a play the night of a RS WS game. I'll be driving north on Thurs night, so I'm going to have to keep flipping stations every hour or so to try and keep the game on.

"UGH, now I can't close my eyes!"

Are you crazy? Byoolin on Trump action is the real hotness. Can you imagine all that snarky, pouty-lip sexiness?

Byoolin will be all, "Donald, how many times do I have to tell you to roadblock the saliva when we're making-out?"

And Donald will be all, "Byoolin, babe, this saliva is worth it's weight in gold."

I read the Reliable Source chat yesterday after the fact and wanted to say ONE thing in defense of Ellen (since she made the blog today). If she is going through "The Change", plenty of women break down and get hysterical on the job or in public. They curse themselves afterwards, but it happens. So I don't think it was manipulative or calculating of E. IF that is the reason she freaked out. That said, I hope she does make some kind of apology to the rescue agency or at least chastise her crazy followers who thought making death threats was an appropriate response. And IMHO she TOTALLY traded up with Portia de Rosi....hot hot HOT and a good actor AND not crazy. (I make this observation as a mostly straight 20-something female).

Well as a completely straight 20-something female, I think Portia de Rossi is gorgeous. She and Ellen are a cute couple.

What Michael said (possibly better than I could).

in response to methinks fantasy, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth

"in response to methinks fantasy, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth"

Ditto.

as a 40 year old straight woman, I think Portia de Rossi looks funny

There's a completely straight 20-something female in here? Cool. Somebody keep an eye on her while I fetch my camera. We need to preserve this moment for posterity. Lol

I think Trump's new wife is very pretty. Just because he doesn't think Angelina is the goddess other people do doesn't make him a moron. Maybe he is a moron for other reasons, but some people don't really find her attractive, me included.

Liz... instead of a Friday list, how about this: we all write a collaborative review of the pending, sure-to-be-a-starstudded ** out of **** bomb DALLAS movie. You provide the opening line and we tagteam the rest.

uh oh...the poser strikes again. i would NEVER have written such a horror fantasy scenario as byoolin/trump.

and in response to the red sox nation gal, may you find all the stations. believe me, i feel your pain.

Why I love Ben Affleck, in a total guy way:

"Hey, I've only seen my movie about 1,000 times in filming it, editing it and screening it. Screw this, my Red Sox are in the playoffs and I'm going to a game."

Good shuffling of priorities, I say.

I think Trump's new wife is very pretty.

Well w/enough money even a piggy-eyed, duck-lipped little troll like Trump can get a pretty wife.

Sure Trump's wife is very pretty, but take away the money and keep the personality, do you really think he would rate someone who looks like her? I have yet to read where Trump has done anything to benefit anyone other than himself.

I have yet to read where Trump has done anything to benefit anyone other than himself.

That's because not all celebs feel the need to broadcast all that they do for other people. Brad and Angie are rewarded when they use their celebrity for causes, Oprah is bashed and the people who keep quiet about it are accused of not doing anything.

Seems a little hypocritical to me.

So that logic, it is better for Trump to publicize how big an a$$ he is, rather than to show he's actually a good person.

Make sense.

i just read that the wonderful actress deborah kerr died. i know she was old and you young whippersnappers who didn't know who jane wyman was won't know who deborah kerr was but she was wonderful. the beautiful woman who danced with yul brynner in 'the king and i,' the fragile woman who played the governess in 'the innocents' (scaaaarrrry)...the kiss on the beach w/burt lancaster in 'from here to eternity'...sigh.
deborah kerr, RIP

Mustn't forget An Affair to Remember, methinks. She was great in that one, as well. - sigh -

Thank you for helping us to remember Deborah Kerr fondly.

Brit Loses Visitation

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/18/britney.children/index.html

Just goes to show how delusional and removed from reality Brit is, if she thinks she deserves respect.

Especially if she forgot to wear pants in the courtroom.

Yay Donald Trump. I've never liked your combover or really much else, but you're right on re. Duplicitous Harlot Jolie. Heh.

Methinks and RSNation -- I wouldn't worry about missing the game on Saturday.....your boys are going to be all done after tonight.

Methinks and RSNation -- I wouldn't worry about missing the game on Saturday.....your boys are going to be all done after tonight.

I have to second that! Go Indians!

The phrase is "being caddy"...as in being a cad. NOT "catty"..the judge was not being a cat. synonym: scoundrel, scalawg, rascal

PLEASE inform your typist.

Ooo, almost forgot to comment on what a winner Lindsay Lohan has picked for herself. Rehab AND criminal records ... a match made in heaven. I hope they stay together for the same reason I hoped Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton would stay together ... the nuttiness and psychoses complement each other.

A pox on thee, anonymous poster at 12:39! For who doth use "cad" in general discourse? Dost thou believe Britney has knowledge of the word "cad?"

N

irish girl, i'm not pulling for the bosox, but i can feel her pain at having to find stations

Britney reminds me of one of the second graders that I teach....he talks back and is rude and does not give anyone any respect, then complains when he is not respected.

To Anon. from 12:39 PM.....are you sure about that? I am familiar with people being called "cads" but I have never heard the adjective "caddy." Only the noun, which refers to a golf assistant. The phrase "being catty" refers to women acting in a petty or nasty manner, perhaps the kind of behavior that may lead to a "cat fight." The grammatically odd aspect of Brit-Brit's comment is in the fact that she used a feminine insult to describe a male person.

Of course, since your comment about the proper use of the word catty was itself kind of catty, perhaps you are engaging in some kind of humorous meta-critique.

good on ya, irish girl! Sox fan first, baseball fan second. I'll be hosting the Series party next Wed regardless of who is playing. Mostly likely the Indians....

le sigh. (I'm a Boston fan. We *know* you're going to win. It's genetic)

Count me among the folks who thought of Iggy Pop instead of the dog.

Kirsten Dunst as Debbie Harry...hmm...I didn't know Debbie Harry had a snaggle tooth?

"The phrase 'being catty' refers to women acting in a petty or nasty manner, perhaps the kind of behavior that may lead to a 'cat fight'."

As a publications editor of considerable repute, I can say that you are indeed correct in this instance, Omaha. Cad is a term traditionally reserved for male scoundrels.

I'm late but I had to work today. If the rescue organization just took the dog last weekend, how it is already place with another family? What about all their rules and making sure the new family is right for that particular dog? Shouldn't that take longer than 4 days -- in the dog's best interest.

How long before this dog will be paraded around the talk shows as the "Ellen Dog"?
