David Blaine plans to hold his breath for 16 minutes and 32 seconds on Oprah's show: piece of cake.
I once held mine for 18 minutes until the Lovely Mrs. byoolin changed the channel from the Oprah show. (Apart from the speaking for God and Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott, there's been no lasting brain damage!)

Re: comment of the week...
I dunno. I kind of liked the one that described the Miley/Billy Ray photo as "incestupus."
Posted by: Liz Kelly | April 30, 2008 8:44 AM
The word of the day yesterday had to be 'pornorific'. Though 'incestupus' is awfully close.
Posted by: methinks | April 30, 2008 8:47 AM
Is this one Hulk and his daugher or Hulk and his girlfriend-who-looks-like-his-daughter?

Either way, yuck. In all seriousness, if you dad does this to you, tell a teacher or a cop or someone.

From the complete sentences, the correct spelling, the lack of abbreviations and the general coherence of the posting, I infer that today is NOT a Booby Kennedy Day?!? Sweet.
Posted by: sunnydaze | April 30, 2008 8:55 AM
That movie 'Caligula' was both pornorific and incestupus.
So Al Franken owes $70,000 in back taxes - IN SEVENTEEN STATES!!!
Who does he think he is, Snipes?

-First, Hulk dates a woman who is the older version of his daughter and now, he's touching his daughter inappropriately. Talk about creepy.

Liz, FYI...from yesterday's fashion chat.
Settling a raging question: One of your fellow The Washington Post chatters has been waging a long war against pleated pants. Just wanted to get your take on it, as I prefer pleats and can't make this person see the light of day. Thoughts?
Janet Bennett Kelly: If you're one of those people who look good in them, then by all means, wear them. No argument here.
Guess what? I WIN!
Posted by: And the winner is...pleats! | April 30, 2008 9:06 AM
*From the story about Charlie Sheen..."When Nici dropped four girls off at his penthouse, she found the actor in silk pajamas with 'C. MaSheen' embroidered over the pocket."
That sounds like something from a 1970s porn movie, and I find it completely believable.
*Also noticed that Ricky Martin is sporting a faux hawk which is so three years ago.
*Now if readers/posters want to get in a lather about a truly skeevy father/daughter picture, that Hulk & Brooke Hogan pic ought to do it.
*Last thing, Liz, did your bosses at the website tell you how much traffic your little Celebritology blog brought in yesterday? Surely you're in line for a raise, if not another pair of Jimmy Choo's.
Posted by: methinks | April 30, 2008 9:10 AM
The problem is that almost no body type really looks good in pleated pants. So, the chance of you being "one of those people who look good in them" is pretty unlikely. More likely is that you only *think* you look good in them, but really look like a puff pastry. So, Liz Kelly's position remains correct, although if you still insist on wearing the pleats, there are no winners here.
Posted by: sunnydaze | April 30, 2008 9:11 AM
Thanks Sunny. I agree. You also didn't specify to Janet whether or no you are a dude or a chick, which could make some amount of difference to her.
Janet, by the way, is one of the best-dressed woman at washingtonpost.com. She must've been tipsy when she said pleats were okay.
Posted by: Liz Kelly | April 30, 2008 9:15 AM
I guess when Gary Dourdan said he was leaving CSI, the "other opportunities" he was pursuing included cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy and miscellaneous prescription drugs.
Posted by: byoolin | April 30, 2008 9:17 AM
Oh, a little update on the blog template: The word "Celebritology" in the banner now links back to the main blog page. And, on that main blog page, we now have more posts.

And now that we know what Rosie and Heincer think of Miley's pix, I think we can all agree that, President Bush excepted, every single half-wit in America has offered his or her opinion on the subject.

For what it's worth, when Rosie said "You kind of do what she says. It's intimidating" about Leibowitz, she's got a big honkin' point. I imagine Annie's got the combination of flattery and bossiness down to an art, and can make most any subject do what she says.
Good Lord, I just agreed with O'Donnell on something.

I'm not sure what a "carm" is and I'm not going to ask Sana, since (s)he sounds like (s)he'll cut a b*tch.
Though I do think I need to incorporate the phrase "#1 hater" into my vocabulary. Perhaps I can use that in a meeting later today....
Posted by: Magnolia | April 30, 2008 9:41 AM
If I may translate, sunnyd:
"Excuse me, Ms. O'Donnell: please do not purport to represent the plurality of opinion on the Miley Ray Cyrus photographs in Vanity Fair. We cannot claim that we fully understand her motivations. My own opinion is that Ms. Cyrus has made an unfortunate decision that will ultimately diminish her reputation and, by driving away disaffected former fans such as myself, her fan base."

I, too, was at a sporting event last week when I spotted a guy with a faux-hawk. I turned to the guy I was with and said, "Aren't those out?" and he said, authoritatively, "Yes. They were gone three years ago."
(He also added, "when our friend, Joe, wore one," but you don't know Joe. You don't know me either. Well anyway, my friend says they're over, so in my mind they're over.)

A scene from the byoolin family car last night:
THE KID: So guess what we did in AP English - note that I am stressing the 'AP' part - today?
THE LOVELY MRS. BYOOLIN: What?
THE KID: We read Poe's "The Raven" and then did drawings about how it made us 'feel.'
BYOOLIN: Drawings?
THE KID: Yes, drawings. And then in Civil War History class we watched 'Cool Runnings.'
BYOOLIN: The movie about the Jamaican Olympic Bobsled Team's contributions to the Civil War?
THE KID: Yeah. That one.

Rosie really does not need to comment on every troubled teen out there. She just needs to go away.
I see Harrison liked them young even back then. Although apparently meat on the bones was still allowed then.
I guess Gary Dourdan's freak out episode on CSI this season was autobiographical.
Posted by: ep | April 30, 2008 10:06 AM
Apparently I should apply at Byoolin's neighborhood school. I examined my life, and decided I needed a job with more stress, less respect, and less pay.
I would not show "Cool Runnings". I would bring in guest speakers to teach about coherent blog postings.
Posted by: RiverCityRoller | April 30, 2008 10:07 AM
OH, ok, thanks byoolin - where did you find the modern day rosetta stone?
I do agree with Magnolia that "#1hater" might get some play today. I am pretty sure that I can at least work it into an email or two.
And RCR, DON'T DO IT!! Unless you have some *really sincere* desire to *help* people and a large amount of patience - like on par with Mother Teresa, or you have some really stong masochistic tendencies or you can go to a job every day and just not give a flying *&(e whether you have any success at all. Mr. sunnydaze teaches high school math and it is both thankless and soulsucking. He continues to do it because, bless his little heart, he believes that someday one of the little monsters might learn something. It takes a special kind of optimism or insanity or maybe a blend of both to teach in the public school system. The worst was when, last year, a student was hopelessly failing pre-calculus and his mother called my husband at home and cursed him out because her little angel was going to be an engineer. God help us and stay off the bridges.
Posted by: sunnydaze | April 30, 2008 10:07 AM
Mr. Roller is a teacher, but will soon be a principal (hopefully). So I more or less know what I'd be getting into. Here's my favorite teaching story: (sorry for the length)
Mr. Roller and I go out to eat at a local pizza joint. Young surly teen walks up to us and says "I'm going to make your pizza extra special, Mr. Roller!" Mr. Roller said to me "we're leaving." We left. This was a kid with a really bad attitude that failed his class *three* times. And obviously, he was very stupid, because what he should have done was waited until we were EATING the pizza and said "I made your pizza extra special."

I worked in education for five years and "felt the love" for three of those five years. After that, it was endlessly tedious and maddening. I will say, though, if you can find a good gig and if you have the 'calling', education can be a rewarding profession.

Congrats to Jason Lee and girlfriend. However, I feel for the kid because Jason's son is named Pilot Inspektor. I think that's the spelling. What could they possibly create for the new addition?
Oh Booby Kennedy Day was fun indeed. However, that's the kind of event I can only handle once a quarter. More than that and my head would explode trying to make sense of the postings, which is why I gave up reading them.
On what planet would Nick Cannon be able to get Mariah "I would feel violated" Carrey?
The creepy dad group grows every year. Add Hogan to the mix of papa Joe, Lilo's dad and the acky breaky man as well.

Fauxhawks are the hairstyle on this season's Top Chef. Judge Ted Allen said in his blog that it was time to let them go.
Ricky Martin bought an island? What has he done lately or did he just invest his La Vida Loca money really well? How big is that island anyway?
And for the record, I look bad in pleated pants too, but I can't find any nonpleated ones that fit. Just so you know. It's a supply and demand issue.

Posted by: methinks | April 30, 2008 10:21 AM
Thanks, PC! Petal was there, too, and I don't remember who else. Definitely the strategy on Booby Kennedy Day is to skim heavily, then stop when you see Byoolin's name.

Agreed methinks, but "the calling" is what I previously referred to that necessary blend of optimism and insanity...Mr. sunnydaze has it in spades.
So, anyway, good luck with that RCR - as long as you go into it with your eyes open and your kevlar vest in place.
byoolin, your qualifications as an interpreter are outstanding. I think you deserve a cabinet position in the upcoming new administration - something like Most Exalted Ambassador to the Illiterate, Uneducated and Idiotic. Maybe you could translate "Pull your dang pants up" into something that will be heard.

My contribution to secondary school education is to not reproduce.
I'm not sure what was more frightening about the firey masses yesterday - the kids who posted, or the alleged adults who did (the ones who were On Topic, not the Celebritology regulars).
There are actual mothers out there who troll around chat sites to defend Miley Cyrus. And they're not even as scary as the perverts who crawled out of the shadows.

"...necessary blend of optimism and insanity..." yes, sunnydaze, that's exactly what a 'calling' is. I shall appropriate your description. Give you credit once, then claim it as my own.
As for byoolin's credentials in the Celebritology Translation Dept., I would call it a trifecta of experience except it's four things so is that a quadrafecta? Or am I joining the ranks of tweens and just making up words as I go?

Posted by: petal | April 30, 2008 11:17 AM
Attention Grammar Police:
"yo fatty carm down" is the result of a young person furtively typing into their telephone. They just hit the LMN button twice instead of once.
the typing without capitals or punctuation is a result of trying to type on a phone
You don't want to see what it would look like if I tried to type into a phone. That's why the kids call it 'texting.' Typing is more refined and precise. Texting is the electronic version of smoke signals, with somewhat better vocabulary.

"Shine A Light"
Lyrics, Benjii Madden
I texted this song on my telephone
so I could sing it 2 U backed up by a cool ring tone.
And I can sing it 2U in the dark and all alone
Because when I open it up I shine a light.
My cool cell phone makes the world so bright.

Oh, I can illuminate you on the show Girlicious, Petal. It comes on after America's Next Top Model, of which I am an unabashed fan, and I occasionally made the mistake of letting the tv stay on a bit longer. Girlicious was the show to find a new member of the pussycat dolls. So it was all about girls learning to dance and sing like hoes. (hos?)
Actually the finale was last week, and the replacement starts tonight: Farmer Wants a Wife. I've seen the first episode, and let me tell you, this is 100% top-shelf trash. Everyone should watch it.
Posted by: h3 | April 30, 2008 11:44 AM
I hope Carl emerged victorious, if only for the headline: "Peed is Number 1!"

I think I am going with the theory that "Yo fatty carm down" is exactly what Sana meant to say. The phrase is growing on me and I am considering actually using it in conversation the next time the need arises - this although I am way too old and way too, um, something to use any, and I mean ANY slang without causing all listeners to snort or spew out whatever they are drinking. I have tested this theory several times and always enjoy it...So,
OMG Yo fatty carm down whatup lol thats how we roll in the groovy house wid the shorties and the dogs whatevs...
Please resume regular English at the tone - BEEP
I actually had to go back and take out the punctuation. Ah, I am going to cause my son no end of embarrasment in the not too distant future.

Thanks byoolin. That was enough to remind me of why I didn't read through all of the posts yesterday.
H3, as my cousin says "good lookin out" I'm pretty sure I was watching Top Model when I heard the advertisment for Girlicious. I am concerned that the Pussycat Dolls can't seem to keep, ummm, singers, yeah singers because I am certain there was a replacement show last year.
I saw a snippet for that farmer show. It may shape up to be a classic. You can't go wrong with a commerical that states the farmer is looking for a wife who can take some serious plowing. Referring of course to tilling the soil and working the fields till the harvest.

Posted by: h3 | April 30, 2008 1:05 PM
I was talking to someone else about it and neither of us could remember Fatima. Probably because she was better done when she was named Iman. I'm hoping for a Kat-ar-jzina and Anya final.

I don't even know who you people are, and there's, what, like probably 10 or 20 people in the world who are laughing at the same things as me?
