Don't worry, Rosie. Karma has a way of balancing things. Although your "career as a pundit is over b4 it began," take solace in the knowledge that your career as a has-been can now proceed unimpeded.

"Oprah-recommended author exposes as white supremacist..."

Shouldn't that be "exposed?"

Indeed. Fixing now.

a tall blond mullet-wearing white man called 'dog' living in hawaii thinks he's allowed to use the n-word "brother to brother"?

based on what? prison time? cool?
as if the mullet wasn't enough to show how detached from reality dog is, he says something like that 'say what' quote.
knucklehead.

and speaking of detached from reality, or perhaps an overarching sense of celebrity, george clooney giving the finger to women taking pictures of fabio...c'mon. that's really disappointing and juvenile.
if he thought the ladies were taking photos of him and he didn't want them to do it, he could have talked to the concierge at the restaurant to see if they would shoot in another direction or wait until he'd left. he could have handled that in a much more gracious way. bad form, george, very bad form.

Tho, oddly, in the Clooney pic on TMZ, the inset enlargement seems to be in a slightly different setting from the big pic. In the inset, his face is visible and there's a lamp directly behind his head. Hmmm...

methinks, don' be naive. there's no way Dog actually thought he could say it, that he was so down with the brothas, that he could call a black woman a "n". he's just trying, rather transparently, to excuse his earlier rant.

i knew hannity was probably a bigot; i just didn't know he'd be so blatant as to have an openly racist person on his show and, after hearing the man's hate-filled rant, allow the guy to get away with saying, "I've only ever used that word out of LOVE for the brothas." Gimme a break.

Wait. The Education of Little Tree was written by a white supremist??? I read that in elementary school. When did this come out? I'm scarred!

What is with the skin tone Keith Urban is sporting in that pic? It looks like someone coated him with furniture stain. Unless it's just the contrast to Nicole's unearthly pale glow.

Did anyone watch the Hannity and Colmes interview with Dog (or "The Dog" as he apparently likes to be called)? There were times where Dog made so little sense that Hannity would cut to a commercial break and Dog would "clarify" once they came back from the break. I got the feeling Hannity said "wtf did you mean?" during the break. Especially when Dog started talking about going to Mount Vernon and wanting to be buried among the slaves.

The writer of the education of Little Tree was exposed as a white supremacist in the early 1990s. It just came out that Oprah forgot to remove it from her list of recommended readings. So, it is more like "Exposed: Oprah's reading list contains work by white supremacist."

I could have told you Rosie's self-destructive tendencies would ruin the MSNBC deal, just not so soon.

OK, that's it: Nicole Kidman is an alien. She is finally letting it out fully, showing us her chameleon-like colored skin.

studying the clooney photo & inset i see that you are right, liz, those two photos, are different. the inset is not from the larger photo. nevertheless, clooney is clearly giving the finger in the larger photo. i'm not sure what the deal is w/the inset photo. the angle on his hand is different and there's a lamp, but clooney's wearing the same clothes (but then, he's always wearing black...who is he, johnny cash? okay, okay...i'm going to wash out my mouth with soap.)

Am I the only one that thinks it is odd to have the whole Osmond family grieve on Oprah? Turning a death in the family into a publicity opportunity?
I admit to being a Donny fan from way back, but that just doesn't like a good idea.

Wasn't the Oprah thing set up before the patriarch died? Still, I wouldn't do it--even if Harpo Entertainment did have to re-book travel plans for 100 people (which is how many Osmonds you can expect to see...)

I'd say much of the mess Brit's made of her life thus far is mostly her fault. Its 99.9% her fault the rest of the blame rests with her parents.

Oprah should stop recommending authors. It doesn't seem to be working out for her.

Pete, what the cat doesn't get an apology for getting hooked on substances? That's cold dude just cold.

I watched the CMA Awards and everyone there looked half-starved with questionable skin tone. I expected this from Hollywood not Nashville.

From the OK link about Katie Holmes's new roll: "The quirky storyline has Katie playing a brilliant scientist attempting to solve a mystery of a remote island whose residents seem to have no connection with the outside world."

Well, this movie is certainly going to be at the top of my must see list. Or not... Although perhaps it parallels that husband of hers...

Keith and Nicole's make up looks really, really wierd. Like they have dirty faces.

That has got to be the worst picture I've ever seen of Nicole and who picked that shade of lipstick to go w/that dress???

I see what you mean on the "inset" of the Clooney pic- it seems to be against a different background. Am I foolish to want an explanation from TMZ?
Regardless, I agree completely with methinks- I love Clooney, but flipping the bird like that is disappointing. C'mon bud, you can do better than that. Weak.

Keith Urban looks like he over did a spray tan. Nicole is just very pale skinned and it stands out more when she wears vivid colors. Quit picking on these people. God, I would kill for Nicole's figure, even if I had to take the skin color in the deal!

Once again, I look at the photo accompanying this blog and my first thought is that I'm looking at new wax figures being unveiled at Madame Tussauds (sp?). p.s. Keith Urban's jacket doesn't fit right. Get a tailor, dude.

"God, I would kill for Nicole's figure, even if I had to take the skin color in the deal!"

You would kill to look like a stick? Seriously? That's sad.

That dress looks the same on the hanger as it does on Nicole. Is that sexy? Good for the gay fashion designer, but for attracting a straight man, not so much.

I'd like to see Kim Kardashian or Melissa Ford in that dress.

I can't see the photo posted here, so I just gogled photos. All the pics I found looked OK. Keith just looked tan - not spray tan and not definately not spray tan gone wrong. Nicole looked no paler than usual, but that lipstick color was wrong for that dress. Maybe the pic posted here was just a bad picture.

Clooney - sooo disapointing, I expect less sophmoric behavior from you - no pony for you!!

oops I googled the photos, not gogled, though I guess that could be true too...

Even if the Fabio story is true(which I doubt), it is incredibly rude to snap pictures with a flash in a restaurant. I mean a group shot taken by the waiter on a birthday is one thing, but if it went on, I'd certainly be up for a subtle middle finger.
In fact, Fabio's hair is provocation enough.

Yeah, that's just a bad picture of those two. Go to

to see a clearer one. They actually look good.

Select thoughts on some of today's Celebritology headlines:

Rosie's non-deal: KARMA!
Conan's stalker-priest: refreshing.
Damon on Imus and women: fool.
J.Lo: who cares?
Lynn Spears: ditto.
Osmonds on Oprah: yawn.
Clooney, Heche: grow up.
Urban and Kidman: normal folk-turned whackjobs.
Lilo: no one cares.
Doherty: please OD and get it over with.
Katie: work, yes; Tom, hell no.
Wahlberg: don't do it, dude.

i still don't like Nicole's dress

i still don't like Nicole's dress...it looks like a beach towel.

"Doherty: please OD and get it over with."

New quote of the week!?

I like Nicole's dress. But that's all in that pic. I miss her 'red' (or redder?) hair.

Nicole looks as if she is single-handedly keeping Botox producers in business, and her blonde hair is awful. It makes her forehead look larger because the skin and hair and the same tone. She needs to go back to her natural strawberry blonde and to stop with the injections.

skin and hair ARE the same tone. Typo-itis has striken ME today.

Since when is it rude to snap a photo or two or even three in a restaurant? We go to nice restaurants all the time and if there's a birthday party or some other event, guests take a couple of pictures. Generally no one minds, it's not like it's paparazzi or something.
I think Clooney honestly believed he was the one being photographed, perhaps not realizing what the situation was. And while I like George Clooney as much as the next gal, he overreacted.

I still don't think it's a tan. Take a look at his face, specificaly at his hair line. You'll notice his hair, a band of normal colored skin, and then a weird shade.

I agree w/ Anon 11:47am... Nicole has always looked her best as a strawberry blonde (and without the damned Botox).

The Clooney/Fabio article yesterdya said Clooney was dining with a woman. The back of the head in the insert does not look like a woman. And, I don't think it looks like Clooney either. Not the first time a picture has been doctored so it seems silly to jump to the conclusion that it's real.

sorry make that "yesterday"

I don't think Nicole is stick skinny. She has curves and a shape. While not a beauty, Nicole knows how to dress and carry herself beautifully. No, I am not gay or a Nicole Kidman superfan. Just an old lady making comments.

Anon at 12:21 - I think you may be seeing a shadow or something in a bad photo. All the photos I found, and there were many, showed no such thing. And his hands are the same as his face and neck which is not usually case when someone messes up a fake tan.

On another note, I do think it's rude to take photos in a nice restaurant. If it's a special occasion and you want to take one or two, that is one thing, but just snapping away without regard to all the other people who are paying good money to eat there and who may also be trying to celebrate some occassion is just self-centered and rude. On the other hand, it's not behavior that should result in that ubiquitous hand gesture, or in a brawl.

The Osmonds are going on with the Oprah show because I'd imagine that's what their dad would've wanted.

From what I've read & heard, George Osmond was a bit Joe Jackson-ish (the patriarch of the Jacksons not the cool Brit singer Joe Jackson) in his methods of teaching the kids to perform & rehearsing. Making sure everything was PERFECT, the performance comes first kind of attitude, the show must go on, etc., etc. I'd imagine he wouldn't want them to miss a show/performance for any reason.

I'd also like to think that Oprah would have a back-up plan & offered them to back out once she heard. She may be detached from reality but I don't think she's that detached. Not yet anyway.

But that's just my take on it all. I'll be watching regardless, singing right along with them & pretending I'm back in elementary school when I just KNEW I was gonna marry Donny. Yeah, I'd convert but it would be for luuuuuuv.

No wonder "Kate" was allowed by her Scientolocult handlers (aka husband & co.) to sign on to another film. It stars fellow Scientolocult members.

Will she have to buy the entire crew cupcakes this time around as well, to make up for having to put up with her husband?

I recently came across "Days of Thunder" on TV and thought how awesome Nicole Kidman looked with curly red hair and freckles and her natural lips. Why oh why would such a beauty ruin her natural good looks?

"[E]veryone there looked half-starved with questionable skin tone. I expected this from Hollywood not Nashville."

Didn't you get the memo, Lisa1? Nashville is the new Hollywood.

Ever since Soundscan started including Target and Wal-mart in their sales calcs, turning Nashville became big business, country music turned into a style-over-substance industry. So now they're at the point of handing out recording contracts to hot-looking half-talents who sing "country" tunes with strong pop hooks that are the "product" of creative teams every bit as slick as Madison Ave. marketing firms. It's just the music industry equivalent of putting some hot chick who can't act as the female lead in Transformers, only with the singers, they need to use ProTools.

Ok, I belive you know! I checked out the link and their faces look just fine.

That said, that's BAD picture, not of them, but the quality of the photograph itself. UGH.

Don't the Oprah people do any research on the books she chooses? Especially after the Frey thing. It's been known for years that "Forrest Carter" was actually Asa Carter, and wrote speeches for Strom Thurmond.

Well whoever "did" do Oprah's research, may just find themselves out of a job. I don't know this first hand, but I imagine Oprah doesn't take embarrassment too well.

The book was from her bookshelf. She lists the books there. She might not have known, added it to the list, then it was brought to her attention. Geez, even Oprah makes mistakes folks.
