"[Madonna] also told the crowd she split a tab of ecstasy with a music executive who she gave her first demo tape to."
This is the sort of thing I am depressed to read.
It's "...to whom she gave her first demo," people!
Can't nobody write no more?
Posted by: byoolin | March 11, 2008 7:57 AM
OMG! People in the music industry use illicite drugs! It's a revelation! Someone call CNN!
Posted by: sunnydaze | March 11, 2008 7:57 AM
I'm shocked, sunnydaze, SHOCKED, I tell you.
Posted by: byoolin | March 11, 2008 8:01 AM
Didn't Star and Al get married in some sort of big corporate-sponsored shindig?
Maybe they can find a demolition company to put up the money to get them a really nice blowout for their divorce.
There has to be an audience who would pony up to watch Star Jones be imploded live on Pay-Per-View.
Posted by: byoolin | March 11, 2008 8:09 AM
So who is gonna sponsor Star Jones' divorce?
Posted by: ep | March 11, 2008 8:09 AM
I would love a $1,500/week allowance. I only give my kid $1.50, and for that he has to vacuum.
Posted by: RiverCityRoller | March 11, 2008 8:11 AM
$1500 a week? That won't come anywhere close to covering Brit's daily Starbucks habit, not to mention the Cheetos and jerky. I feel her pain.
Posted by: surlychick | March 11, 2008 8:14 AM
I think that Julie Andrews autiobiography will be one I'll actually read. I've loved her since I first saw Mary Poppins and she seems very articulate but that could just be the British thing to my American thang.
Posted by: PGM | March 11, 2008 8:18 AM
maybe with that $1,500 Brit will be able to cover her privates, y'all.
(oh wait - the judge is only giving her money, not a personal shopper)

ummmm. byoolin said "pony". i'm telling....

Maybe Star Jones and Terry McMillen should write a book, "When you discover your husband gay (and everyone else already knew)"
Posted by: Anonymous | March 11, 2008 8:59 AM
...your husband IS gay. (smack upside the head) proof read then hit submit. Doh!!
Posted by: Anonymous | March 11, 2008 9:05 AM
methinks, I thought the Liz Kelly Edict applied only to that word when used as a noun.
Posted by: byoolin | March 11, 2008 9:11 AM
i understand your reasoning but that whole p*** thing is a slippery slope, byoolin. but noun, verb...you name it. these celebritology posters will have a field day with it.
Posted by: methinks | March 11, 2008 9:32 AM
uh..excise the "but" in front of "noun, verb..you name it."
Posted by: methinks | March 11, 2008 9:33 AM
I don't think I've ever seen Iggy Pop wearing a shirt and in that picture it looks like he still doesn't have one on. Come on man it's an event. I'll have to check this out further.
I'll give Brit an extra $1500 to stay away from "How I Met Your Mother."
Wonder how long it'll take for Star's husband to come out after the divorce.
Posted by: petal | March 11, 2008 9:45 AM
Ugh Madonna must have lost any shred of class she had along with her American accent.
Posted by: Irishgirl | March 11, 2008 9:46 AM
It's been confirmed by show reps - she is guesting on How I Met your Mother! I would be pleased if this ups ratings, but it is one of my favorite shows and hope she doesn't do it an injustice. EOnline! posts: "insiders tell us exclusively that the most likely role for Britney in that episode is 'Abby,' a girl who works in Ted's doctor's office. She's described as 'sweet and friendly and scattered and a little nerdy--a female Michael Cera.'"
Posted by: Britney on TV | March 11, 2008 9:54 AM
or does it look like Iggy is starring in a hair conditioner commercial?
locks blowing freely in the wind, just seconds after a careless toss of the head...
Posted by: Is it just me... | March 11, 2008 9:57 AM
Brit was great on "Will & Grace" a few years ago. I love "How I Met Your Mother" and looking forward to seeing her guest!
Posted by: kc | March 11, 2008 10:19 AM
I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen the picture, but Iggy looks a lot better than Madonna--and he's way older. He's a real ROCK STAR (as opposed to Madonna)and his drug stories are a whole lot better too.
Posted by: MoCoSnarky | March 11, 2008 10:42 AM
Something about that photo is hilarious. Not sure exactly what, but it just makes me laugh....
I still don't get Madonna. In fact, the only things I've enjoyed her appearance in are "Desperately Seeking Susan" and "Dick Tracy." Other than that, meh.
Posted by: b | March 11, 2008 10:48 AM
Liz... how can you NOT highlight George's fabulously funny "I got them unwrinkled. It's the new thing in Hollywood - ball ironing."
Posted by: Quintilus Varus | March 11, 2008 10:56 AM
Did anyone hear the soudn clip of Madona last night? She sounded like she'd bene huffing helium all night.
Benji...nooooooo.........our local hero. Why man, why? Do you really want to end up like Lit?
Posted by: EricS | March 11, 2008 10:58 AM
God, I hope Britney doesn't turn out to be the eponymous mother.
Posted by: julia | March 11, 2008 11:09 AM
Wow...Just wow. Brit on How I Met Your Mother? About the only show I watch that isn't about fixing a house (as in TLC, HGTV, Style). Ugh. I may have to watch Little People, Big World that night.
Madonna needs to step away from the bleach for a little bit, too.
Posted by: WDC 21113 | March 11, 2008 11:11 AM
Probably should use "e****mous," lest Liz Kelly goes all batguano cr*zy on us.

Just when I thought Madonna was turning into a class act. I wonder if England's water supply has been tested for pharmaceuticals.
Posted by: no_bs4me | March 11, 2008 11:17 AM
"Just when I thought Madonna was turning into a class act. I wonder if England's water supply has been tested for pharmaceuticals."
Uh - no. You didn't really, did you? Think that Madonna was turning into a class act? Why? Her fake accent? Her fake religion? Her fake aristocracy?
Madonna is what she always was - a successful self-promoter. She's in it, whatever she's in, for the fame and money, which just doesn't seem classy at all.
Posted by: Amelia | March 11, 2008 11:26 AM
"I wonder if England's water supply has been tested for pharmaceuticals."
Ours has, and it wasn't pretty. Pain meds, anti-seizure meds, etc. Who needs a pharmacy? Just pour yourself a nice tall glass of H2O and enjoy the buzz.
I thought Madonna was too much of a control freak to do any drugs.
Paris and Benjy are together because they're both jealous of Joel and Nicole. And they're all beyond lame.

this goes a little beyond Celebritology maybe --
Re: the Joe Francis brief, there's a mention of underage women. Um -- underage women are *girls*. That should read *girls*. Liz, do yo have the power to fix that or tell people to fix that? I'm just sayin' -- as the mom of an underage woman, that really skeeves me.
Posted by: other liz | March 11, 2008 11:43 AM
What's up with this Britney stuff. I didn't know that she was having these issues. You'd think the media would have been all over this kind of thing.
Posted by: TonyR | March 11, 2008 12:00 PM
I'll bet TonyR's girlfriend JessicaS put him up to that last post.

The miasma of Julie Andrews' baleful influence must be stopped -

Of course for the true believers there's always this -

I am confused. I have mixed up Samantha Morton, Emily Watson, Emily Mortimer, and Emily Blunt. I looked them all up on Yahoo Movies, and like two out of three of them were in "Scream 3" which might explain why I Can't keep them apart.
They also look freakily alike.
Posted by: possum | March 11, 2008 12:20 PM
Is it just me or is Madonna starting to look a bit like Jocelyn Wildenstein? A little too much botox & whatnot?
Iggy looks more like a middle aged woman than she does.
Posted by: Really Really Sick @ home | March 11, 2008 12:32 PM
Thank you, Petal - where the hell are all of Iggy's shirts??? I mean, I'm not saying he needs to wear one because it's an event or anything but he really just doesn't seem to have any. Should we start a collection drive for him? Does his skin still itch from all the drugs such that he's unable to be fully clothed? I don't understand. That said, his bod looks a helluva lot better than most men his age - or younger for that matter.

For those that are interested, here's Madge's speech:

I suggest you watch before you eat because you might just lose that meal during or after her incredibly boooooring, self-aggrandizing speech.
Posted by: Really Really Sick @ home | March 11, 2008 12:56 PM
I know I've sene pictures and video of Iggy in a shirt. Basic black dress shirt alot of rockers go for. Of course, if he don't want to wear a shirt aint no one gonna to make Iggy Pop wear a shirt.
Posted by: EricS | March 11, 2008 1:07 PM
Ameila...it's called sarcasm.
Posted by: no_bs4me | March 11, 2008 2:29 PM
So who is the classiest parental role model of all:
A) Madonna, for celebrating her drug use on camera in a broadcast to be shown worldwide, hijacking a poor Malawian child, and for calling an event audience M-Fs in an attempt to look cool?
B) Juvenile, for ditching his 4-year-old murdered daughter's funeral, after previously abandoning the child and refusing to pay her mother child support?
C) Britney, for being a habitual wasteoid, failing to care for or about her children, and for flushing away her pop princess lifestyle to become a worthless POS?
Posted by: MisterBear | March 11, 2008 2:29 PM
I think I've figured out the Iggy shirt thing. Maybe everytime I've seen him he's going to perform or has just performed and maybe he doesn't wear them beacuse he's got so much energy while performing.......... Oh dear me, I have put too much thought into this.
MisterBear,
With the candidates listed that is a tough one. Is there an option D) All of the above and others not mentioned in today's mix?
Posted by: petal | March 11, 2008 3:19 PM
I think Madonna lies about her age. I think she's about 60.
Posted by: possum | March 11, 2008 3:22 PM
Wanna take bets on whether the marriage officiated by Kathy Griffin lasts longer than Star Jones' marriage?
I too would like to know where Iggy keeps his shirts. I would also like to know where he keeps the bag that should be on his head.
Posted by: jes | March 11, 2008 3:51 PM
I like "How I Met Your Mother" but am disappointed that they would stoop to a cheap publicity stunt like giving Bitney a guest role. That's the kind of ploy that "Will and Grace" would use to boost ratings.
Posted by: Anonymous | March 11, 2008 4:09 PM
If recent pictures of Madonna weren't captioned, I would have no idea who she is. What is UP with the cheek implants? Creepy.
Posted by: Anonymous | March 11, 2008 5:27 PM
Looks perfectly straight to me. Of course, I'm also the type of person who allegedly [ahem! allegedly] agree with everything.
