Angelina Jolie, a mother of six children, glammed it up for The Changeling premiere’s red carpet after a long break, and looked incredibly beautiful.

OJ Attorney Yale Galanter said it was not a happy day for anybody. BUT HE WAS WRONG!!! While most of you were sleeping, the OJ Simpson jury came back with a GUILTY ON ALL CHARGES verdict against Nicole Brown Simpson’s…last visitor. How Galanter can think that this “isn’t a happy day for anyone” is beyond me. Off the top of my head, I can think of a LOT of people who think that this is a HAP-HAP HAPPY DAY…Ron Brown’s family, Nicole Simpson’s family, ME and every single person that I know for starters. As a matter of fact, I...

ELLEN ADVOCATES MAKING (LESBIAN) LOVE, NOT WAR, AND DEFEATING PROPOSITION 8 Ellen Degeneres, sometimes less than affectionately known as Ellen Degenerate, used Leno’s “Tonight Show” podium last night to advocate against Proposition Eight in California: http://television.aol.com/tvtop5/ellens-plea-the-tonight-show/2261100?icid=200100397×1210673684x1200657447. Ellen contended that millions of dollars are being raised by proponents of the proposition, which–radically, it appears– amends the California constitution to state that marriage always has been and always should a contract between a man and a woman. It would therefore effectively ban “gay marriages.” Ellen generously suggested that those millions would be better spent on people whose mortgages are being foreclosed rather...

PALIN UPDATES: WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE DIGNITY OF WOMEN? Joan Walsh of Salon.com seems to have a sick thing for Governor Palin. In her latest vitriol, she rips the governor and says, “I believe Palin would be a menace as commander in chief, and she’s got to get off the GOP ticket.” http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/election_2008/2008/09/30/palin_gaffes/. If I understand Walsh correctly, she has no problem with a totally inept and inexperienced guy at the top of the Dem ticket but a Republican woman as McCain’s running mate would be a menace?...... ………………………………………………………………………………… Despite all the mean-spirited ridicule visited upon her by the mainstream...

Victoria Beckham wows the crowd again. This time with her surreal Antonio Berardi leather boots, which have no heels. Vote and tell us, are these boots Hot or Not?

The Chinese Supermodel has nice lips, but she really needs to eat. And did you hear about her famous brother? Don Juan...

Not all musicians are liberal freaks. There's Charlie Daniels, Alice Cooper, and a very talented buddy of mine. He should be a professional musician, but serves his country instead. He wrote and produced a really touching pro-life video and posted it on YouTube. Please check it out

PARIS PUTS DOWN JOY It usually requires a willing suspension of disbelief to buy into anything the Priceless Princess of Poptarts, Paris Hilton, ever says but her slapdown of Joy Behar on “The View” was, well, priceless. http://www.popeater.com/television/article/paris-hilton-joy-behar-the-view/189305?icid=200100397×1209839457x1200609269 Paris made an appearance on the show and the View Crew showed the commercial clip in which the bikini-clad Paris defended her hotness and celebrity status and mocked the “white haired dude” running for president. That, I’m guessing, was a reference to Senator John McCain whose white top reflects not only his age but the torture he endured during his 5 1/2...

Out-of-touch Earmarks & Elites by: Lance Nation, September 25, 2008 Those congressmen who defend earmarks as necessary may be grateful that few in the Washington press corps look too carefully at them. “I realized that there was no merit in this system,” U. S. Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., said at the weekly meeting of Washington, D. C. area bloggers at the Heritage Foundation. “Jim Oberstar who represents the 8th District in Minnesota got as much money for transportation earmarked for that district as the other seven of us combined.” “Was that because the 8th district was growing faster and had...

Amy Winehouse has committed a fashion crime. Yes, indeed. She borrowed £25,000 worth of designer frocks from London’s Harvey Nichols and returned them with vomit stains. There was even a furry mold growing on the satin and silk gowns that made them unwearable.

Molly Sims achieved perfection at the Metropolitan Opera’s 125th Season Opening Night Gala.

If you have wondered why celebrities seem to be so important in elections you need look no further than how Gov. Palin is scheduled to meet with several world leaders. As you read the list of top dignitaries you will notice which one gets top billing….is it with Iraq President Jalal Talabani or Pakistan’s newly-elected President Asif Ali Zardari? Is it with the presidents of Georgia and the Ukraine? Maybe the prime minister of India will get top billing. India does have a sixth of the worlds populous and controls the global help-line industry. At least it seems that way...

THE VIEW STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE’S, UMM, MOUTH I’ve always appreciated the existential query as to why God made so many more horse’s asses than He made horses. Actually, there doesn’t seem to be anything very existential about the question but since Charlie Gibson threw the word around in his interview with Governor Palin I thought I too could be pretentious and use it. In any event, the reason for my confusion on horses and their body parts came to mind after reading some of Bill Clinton’s remarks made on “The View” and watching those five prime examples of feminine...

The author of the famous gay cowboy story that the movie Brokeback Mountain was based on says the story is a "source of constant irritation" in her life. Apparently her porn addled fans keep sending her re-writes of the lurid tale made even more lurid with amped up porn scenes added. To many in the gay community, Brokeback Mountain is insufficiently "gay" enough. Apparently, these people want it to be a wild tale of cowboy queens in everyone's face infused with wild abandon. Instead of what the author wanted it to be, these people want it to be more akin...

Every election it is the same thing. If you are a celebrity you either feel the need to try to convince us simple folk how we should vote in the upcoming election or you are coerced by the media to say something ….well…idiotic. That is exactly what happened to Matt Damon the other day. He tried to convince us simple folk how to vote and at the same time made an idiotic statement. He would make the other celebtards proud. During the interview he stated he knew nothing of Sarah Palin but began to list here prior work experience albeit...

If you miss Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City, then we have fab news for you!

37-year-old Rachel Weisz does the cover of October’s Vogue, and as usual, we are disappointed to see another actress, who «epitomizes effortless beauty».

Like ‘it’ bags and shoes, fashion has dresses which become ‘it’ after celebrities wear them numerous times. If YSL Tributes dazzled every single red carpet, then Roland Mouret’s Pigalle dress accomplished the same effect, being seen on everyone from Dita von Teese to Heidi Klum. Heidi Klum, Jennifer Lopez, Dita von Teese, Beyonce, Nina Garcia

While Barack Obama has seized on the economic woes of America as a political opportunity, going rally to rally spreading gloom and doom, John McCain has tried to console and reassure Americans. The mainstream media continues to classify both candidates as weak on economics and basically clueless. At the same time the media continues to erroneously link John McCain to George Bush thusly lending a helping hand to Obama's campaign. But when it comes to change, with a plan, McCain is the one who has the facts on his side. McCain prophetically warned the President and the American people that...

What a beautiful woman she is and what a great sense of style she projects!

People Magazine has announced its annual 10 Best Dressed Women list, and we agree with almost all of the mag’s choices. Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow, Fergie

Eva Mendes, Eva Longoria, BeyonceCall it madness or hysteria, but YSL footwear is the celebs biggest favorite. Tribute sandals and pumps are sweeping through every red carpet these days thanks to their chic and uber sexiness. From Jennifer Lopez to Beyonce and Lindsay Lohan, everyone owns a pair.

OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM DISSED ONCE AGAIN Remember Roseann Barr’s class act of grabbing her crotch during her rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner?” That was just one of the most public and most disgraceful displays of contempt for our flag and our country. There have been too many others. AOL features a collection of them here: http://sports.aol.com/photos/anthem-blunders?icid=200100397×1209838424x1200574480. The first picture depicts Dallas Maverick’s Josh Howard who said, ” ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is going on right now and I don’t even celebrate that s–t. I’m black, goddamnit.” The collection also includes Denver Nuggets guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf Abdul-Rauf who refused to stand...

Transformers star Megan Fox graces the cover of GQ’s October cover with a tongue-across-the-teeth pose.

Hollywood is a giant jobs program for those unfit for real life. Where else could drug-addled bums like Woody Harrelson and Sean Penn put on eyeglasses and suddenly become an environmental expert or a foreign policy scholar? Thank you Hollywood for employing the otherwise unemployable. Were it not for you, the welfare lines would be much longer, unemployment higher, and my wallet lighter due to the tax increase it would require to sustain these ignorant bozos. A $10 movie ticket or $40 concert ticket is a small price to pay to keep these beebee brains off the government dole. Could...

Victoria Beckham’s fashion adventures continued, as she styled a white dress with oversized buttons that worked as a big blazer. She complimented her outfit with a Birkin bag and matching white pumps.

If you wanted a better understanding of why conservatives always beat liberals in a debate -- and why Barack Obama won't dare be interviewed by Fox News's Sean Hannity -- you to need to see Chuck Norris wipe the floor with Arianna Huffington. In what almost turned into a free-for-all on Wednesday's "Larry King Live," Norris demonstrated how little Huffington understands about the Iraq war, while proving that liberal elites like her, because of their position, are allowed to say and write whatever they want, regardless of factual inaccuracy, and do so with total impunity. With that as pretext, prepare...

Pam Anderson, that intellectual giant and vocal supporter of PETA (which in turn has links to the domestic terrorist organization ALF), goes off in an interview about how horrible Sarah Palin is. You know they are running scared when they haul out the big…um, guns.....

I hope I am putting this in the right place, my apologies if this post is not allowed. I have been looking all over the internet and I can't find the answer. Does anyone know the artists and song names of the instrumental music that Beck plays on his radio show? I'm talking strictly about the instrumentals with the very unique drum beats. He opens the show with a good one, another cool beat near the 30 minute mark and he closes the show with a good one. There are three or four distinct ones. Maybe it is just made...

The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway graces the cover of October’s W Magazine. And it’s not as horrible as we thought it would be. Although we don’t love celebrities on the fashion magazine covers, the editorial inside the mag portrays Anne as a real beauty.

I used to subscribe to US a few years ago, it was my guilty-pleasure reading by the pool. But my subscription ended last year and I didn't renew. I won't buy the magazine again after last week's cover, so I wondered if anyone knows if they offered an apology, retraction, correction...or if they did not even mention it?

This is a Squire Parsons hymn, sung by Squire Parsons and arranged with scenic pictures and a dove animation.

Russell Brand was last seen in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, possibly the worst movie ever made. Not content to merely grace us with cinematic vomit, Mr. Brand returned recently to host the MTV Video Music Awards. You know about some of this, in all likelihood. You probably saw the video clips, on TV or on YouTube, of the esteemed Mr. Brand making fun of a certain 17-year-old girl from Alaska while begging the United States, “as a representative of the global community,” to elect a certain Illinois senator to something or other. From there we moved on to a discussion of...

Victoria Beckham, designer Marc Jacobs, and Jennifer LopezFrom her famous bob, Victoria Beckham has opted for shorter hair. She was spotted with a boyish hair cut yesterday, at the Marc Jacobs show at New York Fashion Week. Posh gave her smiles to photographers, posing with Marc Jacobs and Jennifer Lopez.

Britney Spears, Ashlee Simpson, Lauren Conrad, Miley Cyrus, and Rihanna were among the celebrities who hit the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony. See who made the best and worst dressed lists! Ashlee Tisdale donned a cute strapless Roberto Cavalli mini dress. Very flirty, playful, and eye-catching. Bar Refaeli who usually looks stunning at every event, took to the red carpet in a Hurley grey cotton tank dress. We didn’t like the dress, but Rafaeli looked beautiful.

Rachel Maddow is so Keith Olbermann's protege, she's supposedly trying to get people fired. Just like her mentor! "Maddow tried to replace all the staffers who work on the 9 p.m. time slot, which she takes over on Monday, but management refused," claims the indefatigable Page Six. This would be, of course, Dan Abrams' former team at Verdict. And ya know who Olbermann can't stand? A one Dan Abrams, who for a time played MSNBC general manager, and thus, Olbermann's boss, but the two never clicked, and neither wanted to pay mind to the other. You'd expect, then, that the...

Jamie Lee Curtis on Sarah Palin: I couldn't hold my own for one minute in a debate on any issue with someone like a Barack Obama or Joseph Biden and neither can Sarah Palin. When the call comes at 3AM I want a mind who was at the top of their class, who has gravitas and a real intellect. I want a leader who is a scholar who can hold the history of civilization in his head and will read and learn from the past as he charts the future. Real debates, where issues are explored, are the only way,...

Crazy funky chignons, reminiscent of Elvis Presley’s hair-do popped up at the Emporio Armani, Roberto Cavalli, Sinha Stanic and Sportmax Fall/Winter ’09 fashion shows. Take our poll and tell us, are they hot or not?

Jennifer Lopez is all glam on Elle’s October cover. She plays muse and icon to some of her favorite designers: Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, Donatella Versace, Michael Kors and Oscar de la Renta.

OPRAH PART TWO: IS SHE BIASED? ABC News asks the question: “Is Oprah Biased? Host Won’t Interview Palin:” http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/story?id=5736716&page=1. I assume the question is rhetorical. “She’s being two-faced,” said Dr. Cindy Grossman-Green, a pediatrician and Oprah fan from outside Philadelphia. “She initially had Obama on her show, but now that she’s decided [to support him] she won’t have any other political candidates on.” Well said, Dr. G-G! In a related Newsday.com story, 5 reasons are offered for Oprah to invite Sarah Palin on her show: http://weblogs.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/blog/2008/09/oprah_five_reasons_why_palin_s.html. http://genelalor.com/

OPRAH GETS THE LAST LAUGH AT HER AUDIENCE America’s guru, Queen Oprah, who gained fame and fabulous wealth thanks largely to gullible, weepy white women, has refused admission to her studio and her stage to white woman and Republican VP nominee, Governor Sarah Palin. See http://www.tmz.com/2008/09/05/oprah-to-palin-i-can-pencil-you-in-later/ and http://drudgereport.com/flash3os.htm. Why this is a surprise to anyone is the biggest surprise. Winfrey endorsed Barack Hussein Obama long before he even won the Democratic nomination for president and has barred black, and conservative, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas from her royal presence. In the TMZ article, she is quoted as saying, “At the...

Courtney Hazlett over at MSNBC's "The Scoop" is reporting that thousands of "Us Weekly" subscribers have not only called the magazine to cancel their subscriptions -- some reports say up to 10,000 cancellations have occurred -- but have also contacted advertisers and expressed their outrage that they are advertising with the celebrity news magazine that would so blatantly try to destroy Governor Palin. Hazlett is hearing that the editorial board of "Us Weekly" had thought they pegged it right that media pressure and attacks would see Palin pulled from the McCain ticket even before her debut speech. Because the media...

<p>The One. The Only. Melissa Odabash. She put the “Designer” into Designer Celebrity, as she defied the odds, becoming one of the few to make the successful transition from ten years as a model — including appearing in Sports Illustrated — to becoming a Mega-millionairess-heralded creator of designer swimwear, that is sought out by the Stars and fashion-conscious women around the globe, including her Zebra-print bikini, which became within two years of its creation, “the best selling item in the Victoria’s Secret catalogue.”</p>

Madonna may be facing a style drama in her 50’s, but what super outfits she wore decades ago! The wedding dress she had on in the ‘Like a Virgin’ video, the famous Marilyn Monroe-esque pink ball gown from the ‘Material Girl’ video, the iconic Jean Paul Gaultier bustier and the baseball kit from the film, ‘A League of their Own’ – all of these and more will be exhibited in February 2009.
