I want to get a job as an election day observer just so I can watch Lauren and Heidi attempt to operate a voting machine.

There is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about those photos of Miley. Her dad was there with her for chrissakes!
I loved the piece written by Jaime Lee. It makes me wish I knew her.
Posted by: jelo | April 29, 2008 8:59 AM
-Miley looks more like a battered child than sexy in VF photos maybe that's what causing the uproar.
-Gary Busey is sooo mental!

Cher needs to get help for her daughter who looks very obese.

I have never wanted to propose to Kristen Bell any more than right now.

Are those Jimmy Choos on Gwynnie's feet?

Why is ANYONE paying attention to Gary Busey?
Tom Cruise must be awfully thankful his filming schedule got him out of a grand romance with Cher.

Gary Busey - our great new philosopher of the 21st century.

Gary Busey's plastic surgery makes him look somewhat feminine, doesn't it?
Posted by: Ugh | April 29, 2008 9:31 AM
Why do these third...no, no, fourth...no, fifth rate celebrities (used very loosely) think anyone cares about who they are supporting in the election?
Also since when does having sex with a governor deem you a celebrity? What has happened to our culture? White is black, left is right, Bush is a genius, a prostitute can be a celebrity.

Her daughter is 40 years old & needs to get help for herself if it's warranted.
Posted by: | April 29, 2008 9:37 AM
Does White Oprah have big teeth? i've never noticed. The only pictures i've seen of her are the ones where she's partying it up like she's 21.
Posted by: Ugh | April 29, 2008 9:37 AM
Cher was "crazy" all right.
I believe the review of Whitney's concert said something about her "newfound tenor voice" being in "full rasp." Poor thing.
The Olsen twins' clothes, Jodie Sweetin's baby, and now Lori Loughlin on 90210 -- Lori Loughlin -- is this blog called Celebritology or Fullhouseology?
Either that or there's some weird space/time continuum where all roads lead to the Tanner family -- and if THAT's true, I'm moving to another planet.

"Madge finally gets into the hip-hop groove."
Well, now my life is complete. There IS hope for me and every other fortysomething whose musical references had ended at Culture Club and Wham! Thanks to Madonna, hip-hop is accessible to all of US now!

You know, if anyone could pull out someone's endocrine system and wear it as a backpack it would be Gary Busey. I would love to have that as a bumper sticker on my car or on a t-shirt.
Winehouse looks like she could fall apart at any minute but seems to manage to make it to recordings.
Oh joy, Brit is back on HIMYM. The excitement is too much to bear. Please let this be the last time.

No kidding, yellojkt...that item threw me off my game today.

"Also since when does having sex with a governor deem you a celebrity? What has happened to our culture? White is black, left is right, Bush is a genius, a prostitute can be a celebrity."
I think Ashley got in under the Paris Hilton clause. Although I did wonder the same thing.
Posted by: petal | April 29, 2008 9:47 AM
I hate to say it, I love Joe Francis' comment on the hooker suit. "She only charged Spitzer $2500 an hour for sex, she wants $10 milliion from me for just taking off her shirt."
Notice how often the word "crazy" is used by Cruise's exes. Hmmmmmm
Posted by: ep | April 29, 2008 10:10 AM
Whitney also wouldn't allow any photographers. Local newspapers had to get (or buy) photos of her off her website. She was pretty cheesy, I gather and disappointed many people who had been waiting for hours. Maybe she was hitting the ganja.
Posted by: possum | April 29, 2008 10:17 AM
Love, love the caption to the photo of Cher and Tom C: "they look like chalk and cheese"! I will try to work that expression into conversation today.
I wonder what is the theory of Ashley Dupre's case? Topless photos ruined her reputation?? She is a prostitute, for pete's sake!
Gywneth's dress looks ok in the photos, very movie-star glam. But when we look closely, it appears that no underwear can be worn with the dress. I bet everyone at that event was just waiting for her to try to sit down or topple over due to her inability to walk in those heels.
Posted by: new england | April 29, 2008 10:20 AM
Sorry, new england, but I'll bet $5 that Gwynnie's little black doily has built-in skivvies. You can sort of see how the side straps curve up over her hips. Same thing with Jennifer Lopez's green cut-down-to-THERE number from years back...she later said it was basically a very drapey swimsuit underneath.
Posted by: 23112 | April 29, 2008 10:26 AM
"Gary Busey says" will be the next big Internet meme, replacing the Chuck Norris meme. Mark my words, or I'll wear your endocrine system as a backpack!
Posted by: M Street | April 29, 2008 10:28 AM
Another part of the Whitney story is that she kept shouting, "I love you Trinidad!" and the audience kept shouting back, "This is Tobago!" Hilarious.
I wonder if she was playing her imaginary piano on stage -- not that we would know since the photographers couldn't get close enough to find out.
Posted by: td | April 29, 2008 10:30 AM
I was never much of a fan of Gary Busey before his head injury. Now he is on his way to becoming my hero.
Loved his red carpet comments to Ryan Seacrest not long ago.
Posted by: new england | April 29, 2008 10:31 AM
Gary Busey is the best. That is all.
Posted by: trumance | April 29, 2008 10:41 AM
This is the perfect description of dina lohan - tracy ullman is hilarious and spot on:
Dina Lohan is always shown in a nightclub, cocktail in hand, bragging to her bimbonic friends about her VIP status and her famous daughter. In one episode, Dina seems unconcerned when told Lindsay has suffered a seizure.
Posted by: Ha | April 29, 2008 10:53 AM
I am SHOCKED--shocked I tell you--that a 60's rock star such as Jimi Hendrix might have made a sex tape! The next thing you know people will be saying that Jim Morrison (aka Lizard Jim) exposed himself on stage.
Which candidate is Gary Busey endorsing? Does he know there is an election? Does he know there is a President?

Maybe this is something I should already know, but where is Gene's chat today?
Posted by: | April 29, 2008 12:29 PM
Hey, where IS Gene's chat? Its not on the chat list.
Posted by: | April 29, 2008 12:35 PM
Maybe the Washington Post has finally figured out that the chat exists and they've made it invisible or password protected or something. Liz, help!
Posted by: | April 29, 2008 12:51 PM
Gene kacked at the last minute - late last night, anyway. Big disclaimer sez, in part:
"Chatological Humor will not occur the week of April 29 because Gene is working on the Magazine for May 18's Post Hunt, an enterprise so complex and daunting and risky that it is taking all his waking hours, except for time spent in the bathroom."

The headline about Mindy McCready's affair with Roger Clemens should have read,
"Roger Clemens hits for the cycle with Mindy McCready."
Posted by: Sasquatch | April 29, 2008 1:06 PM
Except Roger is a pitcher, not a batter.
Gary Busey says "Son, you better go work on your baseball knowledge or I'll rip out your lungs and wear them as earmuffs!"

I have no idea who Kristin Bell is, but I am thoroughly skeeved out by her. Is she planning to marry a pedophile?
Posted by: Californian | April 29, 2008 1:14 PM
I know it's been said many times before, but Tom Cruise's smile (if one can call it that) is seriously scary. It looks very predatory.
Posted by: | April 29, 2008 1:18 PM
M Street, I cannot believe that you don't know the difference between baseball and date baseball.
I guess that you never got to first base with Gary Busey.
Posted by: Sasquatch | April 29, 2008 1:43 PM
That Gary Busey quote is wrong in so many ways. I mean, you'd really have to pry someone's endocrine system out with tweezers, not tear it out. Those adrenal glands are packed in pretty tight, and don't get me started on islet cells.
Posted by: e | April 29, 2008 2:18 PM
Crap. Islet cells are part of the exocrine system, aren't they? Gary, forgive me.
Posted by: e again | April 29, 2008 2:19 PM
Thank god, this thread has not been taken over my miley's #1 fans. I need some snark to cleanse my brain.

I know, I'm having a rough day and am stressed out over there. And don't pitchers also bat? In the National League at least... I do love dirty sports metaphors.
Posted by: Sigh | April 29, 2008 2:52 PM
Loyal celebritologists, thank you for an enjoyable read today. I had to run away from "the other" post and was very happy to see this one still in tact.
FYI to the stalker's lawyer, he's a stalker and creepy is criminal in my book. Leave the woman alone.

Just reposting these great lines from 'Squatch in t'other blog entry. Nobody there seems to realize how incredibly and delightfully filthy a mind is at work there.

The Roger Clemens analogy problem solved:

Wow, the air is so much clearer here. I'm glad I stopped back at this post.
Did someone say Islet cells? As in Islets of Langerhans cells? My college biology is coming back to me in a blurry rush.
"Langerhans" -- sounds Scottish, nae?

Ensign Sasquatch at your service, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott Byoolin [About whose ability to identify all the entendres of my quoted statement I had n'er a doubt]
Excellent calls on those Clemens pitches.
So if Mindy McCready and Roger Clemens were to smooch during a baseball game, would he kiss her on the strikes, while she kissed him on the balls?
