You guys, I went nuts when I saw these pictures this morning. This is a gallery of Sandra Bullock leaving West Hollywood gay bar, The Abbey looking like she had at least one o their famously strong martinis. Guys! This is my bar! This is where my BFF Edward and I go to throw back Bloody Marys (Or Bloody Molls) and stare at hot dudes in tank tops and “do us”. And Ed’s obsessed with Sandy, so obviously we were on the phone with each other first thing this morning cursing the fact that neither of us went out last night.

The Abbey just hasn’t been the same since Anna Nicole Smith died. Maybe Sandy will be the new permanent celebrity fixture!

I have no idea why.  The doll, Kinky Kim, is advertised as a “busty bubble-butt bimbo who’s had more dark meat inside her than a bucket of fried chicken.”  And I will be damned if that’s not the most charming, appealing thing I’ve ever heard.  What woman wouldn’t want to have a blow up doll modeled after her?  What’s that?  A good deal of woman wouldn’t want this?  Whatever, prudes.

As it turns out, Kim falls into the category of women who would not appreciate this treatment, and she’s threatening to take the matter to court. Here’s the story from TMZ:

For some reason — Kardashian believes the doll is modeled after her — thus violating her right of publicity — and now her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, is on the attack.

Holley fired off a strongly worded letter to Pipedream Products, Inc. — the company behind the sex doll — demanding they stop production ASAP before she opens up a big, fat can of lawsuit.

But Pipedream, unlike their products, doesn’t plan on just taking this lying down — telling us, “The similarity between the Kinky Kim doll and Ms. Kardashian is purely coincidental.”

Ok, all jokes aside, I totally understand why Kim Kardashian would be creeped out.  The doll is obviously intended to represent her, its tagline is disgusting, and take a look at the packaging again – it’s not even a tiny bit classy, even for a blow up doll.  But this brings up a whole mess of questions:  would you be offended or kind of flattered if someone made a sex toy inspired by you?  Does Kim have the right to deny Pipedream their sexy creative freedom?  Does anyone actually use blow up dolls?

OK, in a manner of speaking, anyway. But it wouldn’t surprise me either way. In a recent interview, Affleck states that he doesn’t want to work with his wife in films, but for good reason:

“Jen is a great actress. I would be profoundly lucky to work with her. But something tells me that people don’t want to see real-life couples together at the movies … I think audiences have a hard time suspending disbelief. They already know a whole bunch of things about the relationship you have with the other person and if you try and thrust you and another person into a fictional relationship, I think it is distracting.”

The only thing audiences have a hard time suspending, Ben, is their restraint to choke the living shit out of you anytime you open your mouth. But maybe that’s just me.

So People magazine, a normally unbiased and objective magazine, recently put out their “Best and Worst Dressed Edition,” an edition that I completely agree with normally. However, this year, their Top Ten “Best Dressed” is hardly that. In fact, some of the women that placed were so far from even being on a semi-properly-dressed list. But hey. This is why I don’t work for People. Without further ado, the list, in no particular order other than the one I want to use in an effort to mock these fashionistas:

So, Casey Affleck, the director of Joaquin Phoenix’s “home movie” featuring the eventual breakdown of an award-winning actor-turned-rap star, is finally admitting what everyone in America has known for, well, quite some time: that the Phoenix hoax was just that — a hoax. According to Affleck, who recently spoke out about the movie:

“It’s a terrific performance, it’s the performance of his career.”

This statement was in response to critic Roger Ebert, after the movie I’m Still Here was released last week. Ebert, who clearly thought that the hoax was truth, reviewed the movie and said that the film was a “a sad and painful documentary that serves little useful purpose other than to pound another nail into the coffin” — the coffin clearly representing Phoenix’s thought-dead career.

Affleck claims that he simply wanted to engage in some Hunter S. Thompson-type of filmmaking, and never intended to make anyone believe that the entire ordeal wasn’t a ruse:

“I never intended to trick anybody. The idea of a quote, hoax, unquote, never entered my mind.”

While it’s hardly surprising, at least to me, the New York Times feels that Joaquin and company are going to have to do some serious damage control in order to repair his image.

But me? Nah, I don’t think so. I think that people are more interested to see what Phoenix’s next move — and movie — is going to be.

Thanks for finally dropping the front, Joaquin, and I totally appreciate the message that you’re sending to today’s society (we’re all obsessed with the bad fortune of individuals in the spotlight), but can we go back to doing real movies now? Thanks.
