Quote of the Day

Genius from one of the biggest celebutards out there:

"I don’t know what our government does except put us into debt and blow up other countries."
- Madonna

Right, honey. That's all the government does. How brilliant you are.

At least she admits that she knows jack shit about anything more important than being a provocative slut 24/7 -- that is what she built her career on, right? And if she can admit she knows nothing about government, then she can keep her mouth shut about it as well.

Kim Kardashian, like, is endorsing, like Barack Obama.

Like, for realz. Because, like, he's totally into, like, change and stuff. That's like, totally something, like, we can all, like, believe in.

Kardashian quickly explained that their dinner was anything but one-on-one: “It wasn’t just him and I. I was at an event.”

"He just seemed very firm about the change, and that’s, like, his motto," Kardashian said, probably trying to allude to Obama’s "Change We Can Believe In" campaign slogan.

That's like, so, like, totally deep. Like.

I wonder, like, if Kim Kardashian could, like, point out one thing, like, that Barack Obama has, like, done in, like, the past ten years. Or if, like, she can explain, like, his association with, like, racist America-hating pastors, and, like, terrorists, and like, other, like, totally not hot people. But, like, how could we, like, ever expect, like, a deep thinker like Kim Kardashian, like, to think, like, about anything deeper than, like, "change". I mean, all she's, like, ever done is, like, have sex with a guy and, like, be Paris Hilton's, like, BFF.

But anyways, like, who cares? Obama is, like, so, like, totally hot right now. And that's like, totally, like, good enough for Hollywood.

Julia Roberts doesn't wear deodorant.

Um, ew.

Money quote:

I don't actually use deodorant. I don't like to share that with a lot of people.

Yet she doesn't mind saying it on the Oprah Winfrey show.

And of course, this came up because we should only use organic products to fight global warming.

Me, I'll keep using my deodorant... and all kinds of other products, too, that aren't organic. I don't want to walk around all smelly and nasty so that the Goreacle can line his pockets with his global warming scam. No, thank you.

Hat Tip: Conservative Grapevine

Proof that our school system needs help, fast

Behold Kellie Pickler, American Idol contestant and country singer. She didn't become "famous" until after Idol, so I think it's safe to assume that she probably attended public school. Anyways, this video's good for a laugh. It's also good to make you wonder what schools are teaching if this girl thought Europe was a country and didn't know that France was a country of its own.

Why celebrities shouldn't breed

It always somewhat apalls me to see some celebrities with children. When you take the most shallow, superficial, unintelligent, egotistical, spoiled, selfish, narcissistic people in the world and make them responsible for children, it never ends well. Why do you think we see so many celebrity offspring with lives ruined by drugs and/or sex? Occasionally, you see a celebrity with their head on straight who can be a good parent, but more often than not, celebrities look at their children as a means for self-fulfillment, a real-life dolly that they can pass off to a nanny whenever they start to get annoying.

What got me onto this tirade? Paris Hilton has decided that she wants to have a baby, so that her baby can play with Nicole Richie's baby.

It seems Paris has babies on the brain again after hosting a baby shower for Nicole Richie last weekend, according to People:

"Nicole and I have been playing together since we were two years old," she told PEOPLE at the Nissan Live Sets One Year Anniversary Party. "I was just telling her, 'I want a baby so that our babies can play together.'"

This is a prime example. You see celebrities adopting kids left and right, getting pregnant after dating someone for a few months... they just decide they want to have kids and so WHAM! They get one. I think it's very rare for a celebrity to truly understand just how much devotion a child takes, and celebrities are by their very nature selfish, egotistical, and narcissistic.

Take Angelina Jolie. She adopts kids like some women buy shoes. But is she really a good mother? I can't help but wonder about that, by looking at her jet-setting around the world. She picks up and flies anywhere she feels like at the drop of a hat, and her children seem to have very little stability with her. She keeps saying that after her next movie, she's going to settle down, but she never actually does. It just makes me wonder if she's more concerned about being able to do whatever she wants, or what's best for her children.

And now Paris Hilton is saying she wants to get pregnant just because she feels like it. And you see it all the time -- celebrities adopting kids or having babies with someone they barely have a relationship with, and they do it for one reason: their own self-fulfillment, something to fill the void in their lives.

This is why, as far as I'm concerned, some people just shouldn't breed. It's sad, because people like these selfish celebrities will never be mature enough to know that they can't give a child the environment, family, and stable upbringing that a child needs.

Roseanne: Hillary is a commie AND a Bush compatriot!

Doesn't she have a handler to keep her away from the computer? If not, she needs one. Or better yet, let her keep talking. It's REALLY funny. From Perez Hilton, here is Roseanne rambling about the state of politics today:

HILLARY IS A COMMIE TOO
AND SHE AND HER HUSBAND ARE BUSH FAMILY COMPATRIOTS. THE BUSH FAMILY ARE THIEVES PURE AND SIMPLE, AND EVER SINCE THEY BACKED HITLER AND LED THE CIA TO ASSASSINATE ALLENDE AND CONTROL EVERYTHING IN SOUTH AMERICA BY TERROR, THEY HAVE SUPPORTED THE "ENRON-TYPE" BOOKKEEPING THAT FIGURED OUT HOW TO STEAL FROM THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND SOCIAL SECURITY. THEIR HANDS ARE IN YOUR FAMILY'S POCKETS.

RON PAUL, KUCINICH, AND GRAVEL
ARE ALL GREAT AMERICANS, AND OBAMA MIGHT BE THE ANTIDOTE TO BUSH!

TO YOU THE WORKING AMERICANS!
FIGHT FOR YOUR COUNTRY NOW! FIGHT AS HARD AS YOU CAN TO RESTORE INTEGRITY AND DECENCY AND HOPE AND REPENTANCE AND EVERYTHING WE ALL BELIEVE IN AND HAVE FOUGHT LONG AND HARD FOR!!! DO NOT F*CKING GIVE UP, WE CAN DO IT!!!! WE CAN MAKE OUR COUNTRY THE UTOPIAN PROMISE AGAIN!!!

I MET KUCINICH
AT A FUNDRAISER THE OTHER NIGHT AND TOLD HIM, IF YOU WANT TO WIN, HERE'S HOW: RUN ON THE PROMISE TO ABOLISH THE IRS, AND TO TAX CORPORATE PROFITS AT 50%. ALSO, ANYONE WITH OVER 100MILLION DOLLARS MUST BE FORCED TO SURRENDER ALL MONEY ABOVE THAT AMOUNT TO VARIOUS STATES. STOP IMPORTING CHINESE GOODS ALTOGETHER. ANY CORPORATIONS THAT ARE OUTSOURCING JOBS NEED TO BE TAXED IN THE 90% BRACKET. SUPPORT A MAXIMUM WAGE!!!

Let's recap. Hillary is a commie, Bush & Co. "backed Hitler", control South America by terror, and steal from public schools and Social Security (I thought that was just the government in general); America should equal Utopia; we need to get rid of the IRS and limit the amount of money Americans can make; and inflict a maximum wage upon our economy.

Political genius, that one.

Britney Spears runs over a photographer's foot!

And then, showing what a class act she is, she didn't get out of the car to check and see if he was ok. She didn't take him to a doctor. She burst into tears... and drove away.

Here's video:

For another angle, you can check out Rivers of Babylon.

While I kind of think that the paparazzi are asking for this when they get that close to a moving vehicle, couldn't Britney have maybe stopped the car? Gotten out to see if he was OK? Not committed another hit-and-run? It ain't exactly her first time!

Curiously, she was also leaving a medical office sporting disgustingly larger lips.

From Perez Hilton:


Britney, Britney, Britney. You need your license taken away ASAP, and then need to be put into a padded room. FAST.

Nick Hogan may have killed a Marine

For those unfamiliar, Hulk Hogan has a reality TV show on VH1 called Hogan Knows Best, making his wife and two children D-list stars right along with him. Brooke, his daughter, has tried to make a singing career out of wearing trailer-trashtastic get ups and doing the breathy Britney Spears voice. Nick, on the other hand, has decided that he wants to be the next Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton.

He's been caught driving recklessly multiple times, and even bragged about it to Rides Magazine:

“In my silver Viper, I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, “Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.” Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph]. Another highway patrol from the same county said, “I just heard on the radio that my buddy pulled you over and let you go. I’ma let you go this time. It’s your second warning. You get pulled over again, you’re probably going to go to jail.” Three minutes later, [I was] doing 123 [mph] in a 50 [mph zone]. The guy is like, “Hey, I just heard you got pulled over twice in the last 10 minutes. I got to write you a ticket.”

However, this most recent reckless driving adventure may be leading to the death of his passenger, a Marine who is not recovering.

He was going around 80 in a construction zone in his Toyota Supra, with construction workers present, and apparently was racing a silver Viper when the crash occured. Neither Nick nor his passenger, the Marine in critical condition, were wearing seatbelts.

This is what the car looked like after the crash:


While Nick escaped with nothing more than a few scrapes and bruises, his passenger, John Graziano, a 22-year-old Marine, may not survive and if he does, will most likely be a vegetable the rest of his life.

A Sept. 19 report filed by registered nurse Joanne Jones, who was hired by the court to examine John Graziano to determine if he is incapacitated, said he was on total life support. The report said that Graziano was comatose and that he may have had a seizure.

Jones' report said Graziano responds to a pinch and has a gag reflex but does not otherwise respond to touch or sound. His pupils are fixed, meaning they don't respond to light.

Coleen Booker, a registered nurse with 14 years of emergency room experience at Shands Hospital at the University of Florida in Gainesville, said in an interview that it is not encouraging that he is on life support and his pupils are fixed.

"But the signs that he has a gag reflex and does respond to pain means he's not brain dead," said Booker, who is not involved with Graziano's treatment.

In her report, Jones detailed the injuries Graziano sustained during the wreck. He broke his skull at the base, had part of his skull cut out, experienced brain swelling and had cuts to the scalp. Bone was pushed in and broken in many pieces. He had abnormal collections of blood under the front side of the skull.

In an addendum, Jones included information given to her by Graziano's doctor, H. Bushnell Clarke. He told her that at best, Graziano will "open his eyes on and off."

"At this present time, he states his prognosis remains guarded," Jones wrote in her Sept. 26 addendum. "He states that this young man most likely will spend the remainder of his life in a nursing home."

She said Graziano should be re evaluated in six months to see if his condition improves.

Here is Graziano and his mother before the crash:


Police are still investigating the crash to determine whether or not Nick Hogan can be held criminally responsible.

Folks, I try not to do a lot of PSAs. But use this as an example of what can happen when you drive like an idiot over and over and over again. Sadly, with Nick Hogan's driving background, it was only inevitable that something like this was bound to happen, and it's a sad and cruel twist of fate that an innocent passenger will be the one to pay the price for Hogan's stupidity.

Use common sense when you're behind the wheel. Don't do double the speed limit or worse. Wear a seatbelt. And for God's sake, don't drink and drive either.

And in the meantime, please keep the Grazianos in your thoughts and prayers. They could use them right now.

Quote of the Day

“I don’t regret not having been drafted... because I made out big,” she told an Israeli paper this week [on Israel's mandatory military service]. “Why is it good to die for one’s country? Isn’t it better to live in New York?”

Suck It, Jesus

So says Kathy Griffin upon receiving an Emmy award (emphasis mine):

The My Life on the D List star took home a creative arts Emmy on Saturday for best reality program.

“A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this. He had nothing to do with this,” Griffin said in her acceptance speech. “Suck it, Jesus. This award is my God now.”

Ah, celebutards. So original and creative, aren't they? "Artists" lately define good art as anything that offends the mainstream, so taking cheap shots at Christianity is an easy choice. We see it all the time -- urine laced crucifixes, a dung-covered Mary, a naked chocolate Jesus, so on and so forth.

Just out of curiosity: what do you think the backlash will be for this remark? Will outraged Christians write letters calling for Kathy Griffin's head? Will we see protests and rioting from those enraged in the name of Christ? Will members of her show step forward to make clear that they don't support her remarks, as they surely would had she insulted a "protected" minority?

Somehow, I doubt it.

Let's just pretend for a second. Let's pretend we removed the name "Jesus" from her lovely little speech and let's insert the name "Mohammad".

Now let's imagine what the response would be. Griffin would be chastised as a bigot. CAIR would be calling for public apologies and tolerance seminars, and I'm sure we'd see Muslims rioting and calling for much more than a public apology.

But, why go for something like that? It's so much easier to take a pot shot at Christians. They won't fight back.

Now, let me just make one thing clear. I don't believe in someone being censored just because their point of view may be offensive. I do, however, believe in common sense and respect for others. Just because you can say something doesn't mean you should.

It's too bad Kathy Griffin can't understand that simple concept, and can so easily disrespect the faith of millions.

Lindsay Lohan's dad drops some bombshells

Regardless of whether Lindsay Lohan will ever get her life back on track, you can almost exclusively lay the blame on her parents for her current situation. Their childish bickering, her enabling behavior, and his being in-and-out of prison can only have contributed to her problems.

Now, Michael Lohan, Lindsay's father, drops a series of bombshells aimed at Dina, Lindsay's mother, in an exclusive interview with Perez Hilton. Here's a snippet:

PH: Well I hope maybe hopefully you’ll be able to resolve things without going to court.

Michael Lohan: You know what, that’s been my hope the whole time. This is about being good parents to the kids, not about Dina and I. But she still continues to make an issue between me and her. You don’t see me having some degenerate boyfriend around my kids, I don’t have anyone around our kids, but she has this degenerate boyfriend around our kids. The guy’s a drunk, he’s a rapist, he’s a piece of garbage hanging around my children.

Perez Hilton: Wow, uhm…

ML: Yea, and there’s plenty of proof. Look at her bodyguards. As soon as I had an investigation done on their backgrounds, I found out that they were New York city police officers that were thrown off for ticket scam, and then one of the brothers found out that uhm, found out that his employer, he once worked for a pharmaceutical company, was driving the CEO around and he found out the CEO had settled a sexual harassment case years ago, so he goes and sues the employer for sexual harassment himself.

Dina’s brother Paul Sullivan is getting sentenced for 9/11 fraud. Her other brother is still living at the basement of her mother’s house at 45 years old! You want to talk about backgrounds, look at her family background and look at mine. Look at where my family is. CEOs of companies. Partners of some of the biggest brokerage firms of the country. And look at the other side of the coin.

You want to see letters from people who have known us for 25 years? To see what a good father I was? How I was there for my kids, how I supported them in every way possible. I’ll give you 45 of them. And then you go and call everyone one of these people, including DAs, one from LA. And the one from LA will tell you that Lindsay had a stalker at one time and Dina didn’t want to do anything about the stalker because she said it would be negative press for Lindsay. But worked hard and nailed him.

What comes first, the money or Lindsay’s welfare. I put welfare first, Dina put a price tag on that. I’ve never taken one red cent from Lindsay. Dina still collects from her percentage [as Lindsay’s manager] $354,000 a year from her in salary. What do you have to say about that?

He also accuses Dina of doing cocaine, having committed multiple DUIs as well as several hit-and-runs, and that she has been purposefully keeping him from the children, despite the courts giving him custoday.

He says he has proof and evidence to back up everything he says.

While I don't know how much I'd ordinarily believe anything that comes out of this guy's mouth, I'd believe what he says about the cocaine, the DUIs, and the hit-and-runs. Those are all things that Lindsay has done, and Dina is right by her side at every single party and club.

Lindsay's going to jail; Nicole's already out

Lindsay Lohan copped a plea deal (surprise, surprise) that will mean she has to serve a minimum of four days in prison:

Lindsay Lohan plead guilty to the nine misdemeanor charges - including two DUIs - against her on Wednesday.

The actresses’ high-powered attorney was able to score a deal with the LA District Attorney that was pretty painless.

By law, because Lohan plead no contest to two counts of DUI, she becomes a second offender with two DUIs and like Nicole Richie must serve a minimum of four days in jail.

The judge just said Lindsay will serve 36 months probation and attend an alcohol education program for 18 months for the first DUI.

As for the second DUI plea, she’s ordered to serve 48 hours in jail. She must serve 24 hours by January 18th. Lohan had already served time when she was arrested and that will count towards her sentence.

Lindsay must also perform 10 days of community service and she was ordered “not to associate with people with controlled substances.”

Lohan was not in court today. She’s still on vacation in rehab in Utah.

On January 18th, Lindsay must show the court that she’s successfully completed rehab.

All in all, the sweetness of celebrity justice scored Lindsay the MINIMUM possible sentence mandated by the law for a two time DUI offender in California, that’s four days in jail.

She definitely got off lucky. Had the judge charged her with felonies, rather than misdemeanors, she would be looking at the possibility of years in prison. Celebrity justice, perhaps? She's being smart, too -- doing everything she needs to do in order to clean up her image. She released the following statement:

“It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have. I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so.”

She's owning up. Pleading guilty. Going to rehab. Submitting herself to prison. Admitting she has a problem. I sincerely hope that she means all that she says, because once upon a time, Lindsay Lohan was a sweet, talented girl with a very bright future in front of her, and if she is serious about taking back control of her life, she could still have a very bright future in front of her. Unfortunately, many Hollyweird types only say and do these things for PR measures, so they can make their image all squeaky-clean again without actually changing anything (hello, Paris Hilton). Lindsay seems genuine, and I pray that she is able to find health and happiness again.

Nicole Richie, on the other hand, checked into jail and served a whopping 82 minutes before being released due to overcrowding.

Must be nice to be rich and famous.

Bill Murray the newest celebutard with a DUI

But, you know, so many celebutards get DUIs that you gotta find some way to separate yourself from the pack, right?

Bill Murray was arrested for a DUI... on a golf cart.

Veteran funnyman Bill Murray was arrested in Sweden earlier this week on suspicion of drunk driving.

Murray was stopped by police in Stockholm as he was driving a golf cart in the center of the city at 3:29 am on Monday morning.

Bill refused to take a breathalizer test and was taken to the police station for blood testing and processing.

Driving a golf cart drunk. Now, that may just be a new one! Hard to imagine, as celebutards are able to find so many different and exciting ways to break the law and get away with it, but that's pretty funny.

In all seriousness though, what is it about Hollyweird that makes celebutards think they can do crap like that? The instant you become a celebrity, does your agent sit you down and explain to you that you can do anything you want and get away with it, as long as you go to rehab and do some charity work? I mean, come on! There's no excuse for a celebutard -- or anyone else, for that matter -- to drive drunk. Not when you can afford to have a freakin' driver at your beck and call to avoid that very situation!! Ugh.

But hey, at least Bill Murray can claim he was unique in his law-breaking. I don't think I've ever heard of a DUI on a golf cart.

Who wants to see a Roseanne sex tape?

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Now THAT would be a scary sight... I'm thinking this post on her MySpace is fake, but all the same -- here it is:



This is after she posted a lot of rambling, incoherent, profanity-laced rants on her MySpace blog.

Hey, maybe she even sings in it, like how she sung butchered the national anthem. And maybe it's with Tom Arnold.

Imagine: Roseanne singing while she has sex with Tom Arnold. Let that glorious picture marinate for a few minutes.

Did I say glorious? I meant horrifying. Like I said, my money is that the sex tape post is fake, but it's still a hilarious and slightly terrifying thought.

Just for fun, here's Roseanne performing the national anthem:

Carrie got scary!

Sarah Jessica Parker has a new fragrance out called Covet, and... well... the ad is kind of... scary. She seems crazy, and not in a funny way.

See for yourself:



I mean, I get the point, the perfume is just that awesome. It's not that I don't understand it. I just... I guess I kind of wonder what the marketing gurus were thinking when they dreamed that one up.

Thoughts?

When Rocky met American Idol

What is it with celebrities? How is it they seem to always find themselves SO talented that they can do ANYTHING? An actress wants to be a singer, a producer, a writer, a director... ok, ok, we get the point, talent is just oozing from your pores. Every single idea you have is golden.

Newest to jump on this bandwagon is Simon Cowell:

"American Idol" star and reality TV producer Simon Cowell is venturing into features with a music-themed project tentatively titled "Star Struck."

Inspired by Alan Parker's 1980 film "Fame," "Struck" is set behind the scenes of a TV singing competition in the vein of "Idol" and the Cowell-produced British show "X-Factor" and follows 10 contestants trying to make it to the top.

"The story is told through the eyes of those 10 contestants," said Cowell, who will produce "Struck." "We want it to be the musical version of 'Rocky' -- an underdog story, a feel-good film."

A singing reality show is a perfect setting to make the story in the film relatable, Cowell said.

" 'Fame' was all about young people wanting to be famous, and in order to do that, they enrolled in a drama school," Cowell said. "The difference 25 years later is that everyone who wants to be famous today signs up for 'American Idol.' "

Just as he does as a judge on "Idol" and "X-Factor," Cowell will be at the auditions for the movie. And just like a singing reality show, "Struck" will open with clips from the auditions.

In doing the movie, Cowell is going with his instincts. Five years ago, it took him and "Idol" creator Simon Fuller months of relentless pitching until Fox finally picked up the show.

"We always believed that a TV show like 'Idol' would be successful," Cowell said. "I have the same feeling about doing the movie."

This may be one instinct best ignored.

A musical Rocky? Come on.

Why even bother making the movie? It's American Idol, the movie: the whole season in two hours or so. Although, I guess that could save me the trouble of actually watching American Idol now...

Britney Spears: This year's candidate for Mother of the Year

Will someone please take her children away from her, quick??

Us Weekly has the story explaining her fabulous mothering skills:

“[Sean] He’s having dental problems because Britney just shoves a bottle of juice in his mouth all the time to stop him from crying,” a family insider tells Us.

Spears feeds her kids Doritos, gives the toddlers Coca Cola out of baby bottles and even asked a dentist if he would whiten her kid’s teeth. The dentist refused.

Brit even let her kids run around and make a mess of a house they were looking to potentially buy last week. “She ate tacos on the bedroom floor!” a source tells Us Weekly. “She got crumbs and grease everywhere. She let her babies and her dog roam the floor. She left the bed a mess – I don’t know what’s wrong with her.”

Life & Style has even more on what it's like to grow up with Britney Spears as a mother (emphasis mine):

While Brit’s public slipups make news, a second Britney insider says that being at home with the single mom, 25, is just as unstable for her kids. “It’s tragic what these boys are exposed to on a daily basis,” the insider says. “Kids thrive on routine and the feeling of safety, and Sean and Jayden have neither. Their lives are subject to Brit’s whims.”

And some of the dangers are severe. When Britney and Kevin were first married, she objected to his smoking around the kids, the insider notes, but now “she smokes like a chimney in front of them.” Even worse, when Brit misplaces her pack of cigarettes, “she’ll actually turn to Sean and say, ‘Baby, where are Mama’s lollipops?’ Sean runs, gets her cigarettes and brings them back to her.”

Brit’s also constantly handing off her kids to bodyguards, nannies, even strangers. “She has a short attention span, and that applies to caring for her kids,” says the insider. “Jayden is at a fussy stage, and when he starts crying, Brit hands the baby to a bodyguard to calm him down. When she needs a break, she gives her boys to the nearest person — even shopgirls at clothing stores!”

But Britney still won’t allow the one person who really wants to help care for the kids — her mom — anywhere near them. In fact, the insider says, when Sean asks for Grandma, the singer (who blames Lynne for making her go to rehab in February) “tells the boys, ‘she’s a bad lady,’” says the insider. “It’s so inappropriate to drag the boys into her family feud when they can’t understand what’s going on.”

Really, let's just skip the formalities and go ahead and give her the Mother of the Year award. Clearly, she deserves it.

So You Think You Can Make a Statement?

You know, I don't watch the Fox show So You Think You Can Dance?. Never have, probably never will. Actually, I take that back: I think I watched five minutes of the auditions the first season, got bored, and never watched it again. I'm surprised it's even still on the air.

And apparently, they've whipped themselves up quite a bit of controversy. Newsbusters, Michelle Malkin, and Webloggin all are following the story on how choreographer Wade Robson decided to have an anti-war/pro-peace night with ten dance solos to reflect that message, and how that same night, Mia Michaels, the other choreographer, wore a Marine Corps Dress Blues jacket with the emblem upside down. She says she didn't realize the emblem was upside down, that it was all for "fashion", and she had no idea it would be insulting for a civilian who didn't earn those stripes, to use a cliche, to wear a military dress uniform and then defile it.

And of course, it was all a big "coincidence", I'm sure.

Michaels even complained to TV Guide that she was receiving "hate mail" (emphasis mine):

Emmy-nominated choreographer Mia Michaels thought she was going to have a wonderful day. She woke up this morning to find hundreds of messages posted on her website. “And I thought, wow, I must’ve been a really good judge last night,” says Michaels. But then she opened the messages and was shocked by their tone and content. “It was hate mail,” she says simply. “Saying things like, ‘You should be ashamed of yourself.’ It was really intense. It was awful.”

The writers were responding to a jacket worn by Michaels on Wednesday’s show. She had no idea that anyone would be offended by it, she says. She simply thought she was being fashionable by wearing a navy blue military jacket that happened to have a Marine emblem, upside down, on the sleeves. After hearing the feedback, Michaels tried to make amends on the air. “I understand why people were upset and I respect that,” she says. “That symbol is sacred to the Marines, it’s what they earned. The problem needed to be addressed and I’m glad we addressed it. That’s why I made a public apology.”

First of all, in what world does she live in that "you should be ashamed of yourself" is hate mail? If she wants to know what hate mail looks like, Michelle Malkin can clue her in, as she unfortunately tends to receive quite a bit. I guess it's simply confirmation that moonbats see truth as hate mail, because those hate mongers were telling the truth: she should absolutely be ashamed of herself.

Look at me, I'm all a-full of hate today!

Lt. Col. Patrick from Duty in the Desert explains what it is that is so insulting about her defiling the jacket (emphasis mine):

I accept the fact that perhaps Michaels’ didn’t realize how strongly people would feel about the issue but this goes beyond a simple upside down emblem. The dress blues themselves are sacred to the men and women who have earned the right to wear them. Military personnel follow strict guidelines pertaining to dress codes. Even more importantly, fallen Marines are often buried in their dress blues. The uniform is important to the families and members of the U.S. military and it should be respected.

The fact that Mia Michaels wore the blouse (not jacket) with an upside down Marine emblem on the same night that Wade Robson choreographed an anti-war dance solo is not some mere coincidence in my estimation.

Then, on top of that, that same night (by "coincidence", as I said before), Wade Robson choreographed an anti-war "statement" with ten dance solos. The show told him they wanted ten dance solos to the same routine, and he and his wife decided they should make a statement that "everyone can connect to". And what is there that Americans love more than moonbats rubbing our faces in their anti-war drivel? Each dancer had words such as "humility", "love", "passion", "understanding", "honesty", and "compassion" on their outfits, and I guess they were supposed to somehow represent those traits through their dancing.

In the TV Guide interview, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said he just couldn't understand how people thought anti-war meant anti-troops, and that they were just making, again, a "statement":

But the problem didn’t stop with her. Adding to the perfect storm of controversy on Wednesday night’s show was Dance’s other Emmy-nominated choreographer, Wade Robson. He had fashioned the 10 identical solo dances around an antiwar theme. Set to the music of John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change,” the dancers wore peace symbols and printed slogans. That put executive producer Nigel Lythgoe in the crosshairs of more angry feedback from those who believe that an antiwar dance means the show and its dancers are unpatriotic and do not support the troops. “Who would’ve dreamt — with the dancers using words like ‘humility,’ ‘love’ and ‘passion’ — that I would be defending a television show that uses words like that?” asks Lythgoe, who also apologized on air.

But at the same time, Lythgoe stood his ground. “Art should be allowed to make statements,” he said. “I’m so proud to be part of a show that allows freedom of expression,” says Michaels. “Nigel has allowed us to be who we are. He never edits us and he lets us express ourselves as artists. I think that is rare and extraordinary.”

You know, he's right. Art should be allowed to make provocative and controversial statements. But when you make provocative and controversial statements, you can't act all shocked and shaken when people are, well, provoked and your statement incites controversy. But, Hollywood elitists being what they are, always fail to realize that we don't bask in their supreme perfectness. We aren't drinking the Kool-Aid, and we don't eagerly swallow every single little statement they give us. Sometimes we -- gasp! -- disagree, a tough realization for elitists who think they are always, infinitely right.

And there's nothing wrong, really, with making an anti-war statement, I guess. A little tactless considering we are, in fact, at war, but nothing wrong with it. Who is really pro-war, anyways? I mean, no one likes war. No one likes seeing our troops die, the best and brightest of us. The difference is that some of us understand that sometimes it is necessary, and some of us think that putting daisies in our rifles while holding hands singing "Kumbaya" with Al-Qaeda will solve all of our problems.

What I don't get is why they didn't ever consider possibly making a "Support the Troops" statement. Well, I take that back -- I know why, it's because moonbat liberals don't support our troops and never have, but let's pretend for a minute. Isn't that a message just about everyone can get behind? Regardless of your feelings on the war, you can and should support our troops. The dancers could have had words inscribed on their outfits like "valor", "courage", "integrity", "sacrifice", "honor", "selflessness", and even some of the words that the show used, like "humility" and "compassion". Now that would have been an inspiring show.

But no, they chose to travel the beaten path and bleat on about how they don't agree with war, and add a new insult to an old argument by disrespecting our Marines, and then backpedal furiously when people -- shockingly enough! -- were offended.

I'm not even really that surprised.

Nicole Richie will be going to jail

Ready?

Nicole Richie was sentenced today for her second -- get that, her second -- DUI.

She got a whopping four days. FOUR DAYS.

Celebrity justice. Isn't it great?

This is perhaps the only case in which I feel bad for Paris Hilton. I fully believe that Paris should've gone to jail for the entire length of time that she did, but Nicole gets caught with a DUI twice and gets four days because the manipulative little law-breaker is parading around her pregnancy to get the judge to be lenient.

Nicole should be going to jail just as long as Paris did, if not longer, especially because she apparently will not have to go to jail until she gives birth, so the pregnant woman in jail concern should be scrapped.

And a DUI twice?! I mean, my Lord. It's bad enough that she carelessly put people's lives at risk as a rich celebutard who could hire a driver when she's drunk and on drugs, but she did it twice! With absolutely NO regard for what could possibly happen!

I have to say it again.

Don't you just love celebrity justice? Fair and balanced, all the way.

It's Official: Kim Kardashian is posing in Playboy

Like that's a huge surprise. All she's famous for is being Paris Hilton's shopping buddy and starring in a raunchy sex tape. Playboy was bound to follow:

Kim Kardashian is getting klassy!

The amateur pornographer shot a pictorial for Playboy magazine Wednesday in Los Angeles, sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com.

Music video director Hype Williams was behind the lens. No word on when the images will hit the magazine or how much (or little) Kardashian was paid.

Does this surprise anyone? She's not famous for anything, she isn't special or different from anyone else except that she's rich and has a nice ass. However, like all pampered, spoiled celebutantes, she wants to be famous, and is surrounded by enough "yes" people to believe that she is special and different and talented, just like Paris Hilton. And the easiest way to become a household name without actually doing any work is by either releasing a sex tape or posing in Playboy.

I read a quote somewhere years ago. I think I was still in high school when I saw this, but it really struck me. I don't remember who said it or why, but I just for whatever reason have always remembered it, because it is so relevant to celebrities today:

People used to be famous for being special. Now, people are special because they are famous.

And isn't that really the case? 75% of celebutards in Hollywood are not that talented. They're famous because they're famous; famous as much for who they are dating, or how often they were photographed with nip slips or without underwear, or who they are feuding with, as they are for their latest CD or movie or TV show.

And yes, I know -- I guess in a small way I am contributing to that. As much as a I loathe Hollywood, I'm addicted to the gossip.

But, anyways, Kim Kardashian is determined to become famous, and the next pit stop on the road to fame is Playboy, so keep your eyes peeled.
