"It will be nice to step into Samantha's skin again..."

...and afterwards, that same leathery skin will be used to repair the mummy of King Tutankhamen.

Fabio's manager told the magazine, "George is lucky he didn't end up in the ER."

Now, see, *that* is funny, because George was in a tv show *called* ER. Unlike Fabio, who had to settle for being hit in the face by a goose while riding a rollercoaster.

(Am I the only one who wished Fabio had been seated next to Mike Tyson's table?)

Rebecca de Mornay... [sigh].

Brit -- even after paying K-fed's legal fees you can afford a driver -- get one ASAP.

Just a small correction, it was only a pigeon that took out Fabio on the coaster.

Pigeon, eh?

A goose must have been what I'd hoped for. Or a swan (a swan can break a man's arm, you know).

I don't get why it is "inappropriate" or "nonreligious" for Beyonce to meet with a religious leader. Um, I guess it would be inappropriate for her to say, do a lap dance or even just a private performance, but the story didn't seem to indicate that anything untoward occurred. Does anyone know what it was about the meeting that made the students mad? Or maybe they had some kind of hallucination due to the poisoned cafeteria food...

Good for you Paul, I wish you every happiness, but couldn't ya'll have kept it under wraps til the good lady was divorced?

Russell Crowe - I wish my husband could pick out the first few things I would want to try on - if I let him do that I would probably end up dressed like a hooker, or at least like Britney (if there is a difference)

And speaking of Britney - usually I roll my eyes and move to the next story without much emotion, but that story about the "shrine" to K-fed made me feel sad for her. I have previously wondered whether there was any love on either side in that marriage, and I figured that if there was, it was that K-fed was head over for her, but perhaps the real deal is that she was more in love with him then he was with her money. How sad. For her, and for their kids. And harkening back to stories from the past, I do wish that Julia Roberts, or even Roseanne would get a hold of Brit and help her.

And, finally, I think I will put my money on Clooney in the great Clooney-Fabio brawl. In fact, I would probably be willing to pay money to see something like that! Fabio probably works out more, but I see Clooney as slyer and probably faster and almost certainly smarter. I think Fabio might cry if someone hit him in his pretty face!

I didn't know about the pigeon/goose/swan incident - did he cry?? Did he CRY????

no apologies or disclaimers, i *heart* russell crowe. any man who could actually help me shoe & bathing suit shop whilst keeping a smile on his face is for me!

CNN story about Fabio taking one in the beak - with a great picture of his bloody nose afterward: http://www.cnn.com/SHOWBIZ/News/9903/31/showbuzz/#story1

And this may be a youtube video of the incident, but I can't be sure since work blocks it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYT67eMimS0

Isn't that just a kick in the pants. The world knows the sordid details of her life, what her lady bits look like and a whole range of other things but now she has to pay the legal fees of the ex who is taking her to court to get the kids. In a sense she's paying to give the kids away.

Paris and Nikki judging a beauty pageant anywhere is hilarious.

I was hoping the Rihanna and Shia romance was true. It gave me a warm feeling thinking Josh was still on the market.

LOOK at that pic of McCartney's new woman: she is a dead ringer for Heather Mills but with dark hair. I even thought it was Mills at first with dyed hair. Freaky.

OMG, the last line of the cnn Fabio story just made me spit coffee all over my desk...

"The condition of the bird was unknown."

The picture WAS good - I wonder if that was the birds blood since Fabio apparently only had minor cuts? And, it didn't look like he was crying, at least not in public...so disappointing.

1) she wasn't in love with K-Fed. She was in love with the idea of some big, romance-novel style "love". She has nothing real in her life, and that was just another construct. Truly sad.
2) It is normal for the spouse with more $ to pay legal fees of other in divorce or custody proceedings. This is hardly news.
3) I love Clooney but he might try to eat at low-profile places like lots of other actors manage to do to avoid other "stars" and the press. Cannot have it both ways, George.

Per Fabio and birds and roller coasters:

It was a goose - at least that is how it was reported based on a witness account. All Busch Gardens would say is a bird hit him in the face and they couldn't find the body.

Wikipedia says it happened also with a "small bird" three years earlier at Busch Gardens Tampa, but I can't seem to find any reference to that that isn't from Wikipedia, so of course, take it with a grain of salt.

As a bonus, here's Daily Show coverage of it - Jon Stewart looked so young...

I am sure Gwen is a good mom, but you don't expose a child that small to that many decibels without ear protection....

Since I adore Gwen, I have seen other clips of her with Kingston at concerts, fashion shows, etc. He is always wearing little ear plugs, sometimes even the larger over the head things. So maybe they just aren't visible in this clip?

Does anyone remember Fabio on America's Next Top Model the other year? Creepy!

Russell Crowe has redeemed himself with his love of shopping.

Between Clooney and Fabio: I pick Fabio. He desperately needs the press and the work.

"Does anyone remember Fabio on America's Next Top Model the other year? Creepy!"

Yes, creepy and odd...But, a lot of things that go on during that show are creepy, and yet I still watch it!

I saw the Gwen clip on another site and they said he had the headphone things on. I think because the quality isn't great it's just hard to see.

This season of America's Next Top Model could use some Fabio to make it more interesting. That male model who was on two weeks ago (...Tyson something?) just didn't bring the craptastic sleaziness like Fabio.

Gwen is no dummy - Kingston gets the biggest honkin' ear protection he can. Check out this pic from NY Fashion Week.

He had that hoodie on - these were probably tucked under it.

I forgot my pick for a Clooney vs. Fabio throw down.

Clooney to take Fabio in round 1. I suspect one punch and Fab will whine like a baby.

fabio seems like the type of guy who doesn't even know how to fight...he probably just slaps or tries to wrestle. i think clooney would ball up his fist and clean fabio's clock.

I choose to believe all of the reports of George Clooney's humor. Therefore, I predict that were a brawl between he and Fabio planned, Mr. Clooney would buy a goose, name it after himself and enter the goose into the fight. He gets points for being non-violent, whitty and making Fabio cry. *sigh*

I want a pony AND a Clooney, please

"Eagles top Spears on Billboard charts..."

Wow, that headline inspired some deranged and disturbing mental imagery that I really could have lived without. Thanx, Liz. LOL

My money's on George in the fight... I envision this from Fabio:

"Not in the face! Not in the face!"

10:51: You no can has Clooney. I can has Clooney. You can has pony.

There's only one way to settle this Clooney v. Fabio thing, and that's through nude wrestling.

so where is this alleged house being rented By Michael Jackson? Can I bring my boys over to play?

to 11:30...ew.

My money is on Clooney to win. Although according to Wikipedia both birds died after hitting Fabio's head.

Guys, the read on this makes Clooney look like the jerk not Fabio - assuming the world wants his picture.

I know folks all make fun of him, but I remember reading somewhere that he grew up a street kid in Italy and has done a lot to help other street kids, you have to give the guy props for creating an empire. He seems to not take his campy status to seriously and in general at least in interviews comes off as a nice guy.

Isn't Fabio like eighty years old? He was probably with a group of women from his retirement village.
And I'm so sure George Clooney would even bother to look in his direction, let alone get in a shoving match with him.

Are they giving away Clooney's today? Me some please (send him in on the pony)! Clooney would definitey take Fabio down quick. Fabio probably fights like an 8 year old girl.

Before I get angry responses, I was once an 8 year old girl myself so I know how they fight.

Vince Vaughn claims he doesn't own a cell phone.

I don't own one either. I think they're annoying, intrusive, and largely unnecessary, except for those self-absorbed ninnies who can't bear to stand in line at the bank or grocery store without speaking with their BFF, who they just saw 20 minutes ago.

And don't even get me started on the fools who argue with their 12-year-old kids on the phone while driving in rush-hour traffic on the Beltway. Ugh!

Well, I own a cell phone because it's cheaper (never more then $37 a month) then a land line. And since the number is from my home County, it's not long distance for my family to call me and vice versa.

We're all not self-absorbed!! I can't stand cell phone abusers either. Especially on the quiet car of the train or when the flight attendent says it's okay to turn them on.

Back to the subject at hand -- anyone catch this story today:

Poor passenger spends time in Iraq and ends up in a coma in the states.

Interesting note on the Eagles beating out Britney for the top spot:

The Eagles will be #1 on the Soundscan charts this week now because Billboard has decided to add in artists that are only selling @ one retailer. The Eagles are only selling their album online & @ Walmart & they wouldn't have been included in the sale figures.

Until now.

Supposedly Britney only sold 290,000 albums since it's release.

I would like to know who are those 290,000 people that bought Britney's album so I could do a Jay & Silent Bob on all of them & go to each of their houses & kick their collective butts.

I like Clooney a lot, but how egomaniacal is it to assume that because girls at the next table are taking photos, they are of you? C'mon, George.

Bored@work, you can start with that "Leave Britney Alone" dude.

Do you need assistance? My foot is itching for some kickarcing.

"Paul McCartney snapped canoodling in Hamptons..."

This would have read so much better with an errantly omitted 's'...

Which, apropos of Tidewater, brings to mind Phish's sublime album title, "Hampton Comes Alive".

Byoolin, thanks for bringing back the warm memories of that goose's unlucky encounter with Fabio. I remember when I first heard that story, I laughed for about two straight days. Ahh, 1999, it was the best of times...If that incident were to happen today, the goose would probably end up at Guantanamo.

I think it would be even better if Fabio were riding a roller coaster and a pony hit him in the nose (only if the pony was OK though)

Speaking of ponies -- I thought of all the Pony lovers when I breezed through the Target brochure this past weekend:

S'mores:

this is a pony lovin' blog.
and why not? ponies are good clean fun. unless it's your job to muck the stalls.
but if i could afford a pony i would also be able to afford some dude to clean the stall. maybe he could look like george clooney. (see i brought it back around to a celebrity. slick, huh?)

Heather reportedly hit th roof when she saw the pics of Paul "canoodling." Which brings to mind two questions: what doesn't cause that women to hit the roof and if her voice gets any higher will dogs only be able to hear it? No offense to dogs but I hope the answer to the latter question is "yes" because then at least I won't have to hear it.

Oh yeah, I forgot, I would like a pony and a Clooney too please.

I don't get the Heather hating at all. Come on, it was a marriage that ended in a bitter divorce, probably with both people screwing up. Give the woman a break. Paul isn't God.

no one is saying paul is God, but heather could very well be the antichrist.

okay, that's probably both not true and sacreligious but she is a bitter, mean woman who appears to be utterly self centered. he might not be perfect (exhibit a: canoodling in the hamptons with a woman who's not yet divorced) but he hasn't gone public with dirty laundry, either.

To be fair to Brit Brit, disabled people don't need tans anyway.
