Poor Roman Polanski. All he did was drug and rape a 13 year old girl and then spend the next three decades hiding from the law in Europe! Why should he have to stay at this resort in Gstaad, Switzerland with an electronic ankle bracelet on? That seems so unfair! And his whole family had to go with him too! What a horrible, horrible experience for the entire Polanski family.
OK, I’ll lay off the sarcasm sauce and try and get real for two: Roman Polanski is doing his jail time in this gorgeous, exclusive resort in Gstaad that absolutely anyone in their right mind would kill to go to. For an average person, it would probably seem like the experience of a lifetime to spend several months inside of an exclusive, insanely expensive resort, lazing around, watching TV, working on whatever project they’d like and spending time with family. But for superstar filmmaker Roman Polanski? This is his idea of jail. This is where he chose to spend his court-ordered house arrest.
How is does this punishment fit the crime? How was this location approved by the courts? Should he not spend the time at his own home, at least? The entire scandal has been so much in the abuser’s favor that it appalls me. His family, on the other hand, looks about as miserable and embarrassed as you’d expect them to be.
Weezer’s frontman Rivers Cuomo was injured last night in a bus crash that took place en route to a show a Boston University from Toronto. Somewhere just outside of Amsterdam, NY, the bus hit a patch of ice and ran off the road, leaving Rivers and another passenger in need of medical attention. The two were transported to St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam.
Also on the bus was River’s wife and his daughter, who suffered no injury. At this point, police do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor in the accident.
I’m probably insanely spoiled by Los Angeles weather, but I can’t believe that there’s already black ice issues on the road this year. I guess it is December…
Sienna Miller fueled rumors that she and Jude Law are back together by leaving his New York apartment with an overnight bag and an umbrella covering his face. Perhaps time has healed old wounds or Sienna was willing to forgive Jude’s infidelity because of her own relationship choices the past couple years. Either way, I sure do hope those two whores are back together! That would be delicious!
That chick from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (or, as I call it, “Sisterhood of the Traveling Awesome“) hosted Saturday Night Live last night and the show was one of the best I’ve seen this season. I’m definitely still drunk from last night, so my taste level may be a bit off. Eh, that’s cheap. I’ll just give it to them: SNL was really funny last night. One of the highlights? Abby Elliott’s on point Brittany Murphy impression during Weekend Update. The look on her face is priceless. If you’re interested in that Blake Lively girl or whatever, here’s a photo gallery of her with messy hair and the show’s name next to her face.
Well, right after I finish up a post about how Jessica Simpson has totally figured her shit out and seems to be doing OK despite being a woman scorned and a card carrying member of the “my dog got eaten by a coyote” club, I read that Alexa Ray Joel’s suicide attempt most likely had something to do with some man she’s dating. The sad part is, this woman is only 23 years old, the most flailiest of all the years I spent flailing. It’s incredibly sad to see a young girl with all the resources and potential in the world let what will ultimately be a trivial moment in her life get to her in such a way.
People Magazine is reporting this story like Joel is some tortured artist/genius type that went all Picasso-meets-DJ AM, but I sincerely doubt that it’s much more than her being a 20-something lady having a freakin’ meltdown over a dude. From their site:
Being prone to emotional highs and lows was nothing new to the singer – and she spoke candidly about her frustration with relationships.
In August, the singer took to her MySpace page to vent about relationships, writing, “UGH!!! MEN!!!”
She continued: “Is anybody else finding it a difficult “dating world” out there? I’m so terrible at dating – I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to it! And I HATE the game-playing! Can’t stand it.
I live in the greatest city in the world and I can’t seem to meet an interesting guy who also happens to be NICE. Go figure… “
Damn. Can’t believe she’s still using MySpace to communicate to her fans. ANYWAY!
Does anyone else find this story particularly sad because it’s just some famous broad and famous dude’s kid having a nervy b over the fact that she and the bro she’s dating got in a fight? Is there no one in this girl’s life who can be like “Look. Go sit at your piano and chill out. Use this time to do something creative. You will be surprised what comes out of you. If you want to just lay in bed and cry, that’s understandable, but only do that for a little bit and then go make something of yourself”?
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...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
