Some people sell their baby exclusives to People. Some sell them to Us Weekly. Others to InTouch.
Tiger Woods … sold them to Golf magazine.
I don’t know if this is because he wanted to be nice to them or because they were actually in a position to offer the most money. I guess in this economy that’s blasted the lower and middle classes but left the upper class in a comparatively safe position, golf magazines are still going strong? I’m open to your thoughts.
Here are some very very adorable pics of Tiger, wife Elin, daughter Sam and their new baby Charlie.
How is it that American television audiences have yet to tire of the washed-up recording artist and family living a normal existence formula? MC Hammer is the newest addition to A&E’s reality line-up. Any guesses regarding the name of the show? Anyone? Predictably, Hammertime. Sigh.
Cameras will follow Hammer, his wife of twenty-three years and their five children as they do exciting things like grocery shop and attend church whilst building a life in Hammer’s childhood home. I’m just praying that he’s not doing it all in harem pants.
Remember last year when Blade Runner has-been Sean Young went a little nuts, courtesy of too many martinis, at the DGA Awards? She quickly stumbled off to rehab to deal with her issues of long-term alcoholism.
Last night, Sean presented at the Women’s Image Network awards, I know-I’ve never heard of them either, but her best performance was out in the parking lot. Sean showed off by reading stars off the Hollywood Walk of Fame and bragging about how “cash-heavy” she is since she had the insight to keep her paltry fortune out of the stock market.
Expect another “Ms. Young has checked into an unnamed facility to deal with issues that prevent her from living her best life,” announcement in five, four, three…
Freida Pinto, star of the surprise hit Slumdog Millionaire, has a secret. In December 2007, while still filming Slumdog, she married businessman Rohan Antao, in Goa. He has previously been referred to as her fiance. Now that Pinto has become an overnight sensation, the husband is out. According to his friends, she stopped taking his calls around Golden Globes time. Freida’s agent in India, who should also expect to be dumped momentarily, asked for a copy of a marriage certificate when confronted by reporters.
I suppose the biggest confirmation that this story is true, is that Antao changed his Facebook status to “single”. And I know it’s shameful, but I friend requested him. There is something about a wronged Mumbai-based marketing exec wearing a Hooters t-shirt that I cannot resist.
The New York Postran a cartoon in today’s issue that has some people really upset. The comic depicts President Obama as a dead chimpanzee. The picture is meant to draw a parallel between the chimp attack from earlier this week and the economic stimulus bill.
Reverend Al Sharpton, president of National Action Network, had this to say:
The cartoon in today’s New York Post is troubling at best, given the racist attacks throughout history that have made African-Americans synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual inference to this form of racism when, in the cartoon, the police say after shooting a chimpanzee, “now they will have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill.”
Being that the stimulus bill has been the first legislative victory of President Barack Obama (the first African American president) and has become synonymous with him it is not a reach to wonder whether the Post cartoonist was inferring that a monkey wrote it? Given that the New York Post cartoonist has come under heavy fire in the past for racially tinged cartoons including the infamous cartoons depicting 2001 mayoral candidate Freddy Ferrer and me in very unflattering ways (that ultimately was used as a campaign tactic to inflame racial prejudices), one cannot ignore that history when looking at this morning’s cartoon.
The Post should at least clarify what point they were trying to make in this cartoon, and reprimand their cartoonist for making inferences that are offensive and divisive at a time the nation struggles to come together to stabilize the economy if, in fact, this was yet another racially charged cartoon.
In general, a comparison between our African-American president and an assassinated primate? Probably not a good idea.
Ricky Martin appeared at Armani’s 5th Avenue store opening in New York City wearing a purple satin scarf. Is that an ascot? I never know. Either way, the last wisp of imagined heterosexuality has officially been erradicated.
Also there, Victoria Beckham looking as muscular as ever, Solange Knowles wearing a bunch of shit that doesn’t match, and John Mayer.
She. Is. Marvelous. Seriously marvelous. And super gorgeous. I am not generally a fan of short hair, on guys or girls (late ’90s men’s fashion was a nightmare for me, and I was only in middle school), but she looks so...
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
