Y’all have probably heard by now that Kobe Bryant called a referee a “f*cking f*ggot” (sorry, normally I don’t censor myself here, but those words are pretty gross to type next to each other,) during a game the other night, but I certainly didn’t think that much would come from it. That kind of behavior, regardless of what people say, is unfortunately common in the world of sports. But yo! The NBA slammed him with a $100,000 fine for his hateful speech.
NBA commissioner David Stern said in a public statement, “Kobe Bryant’s comment during last night’s game was offensive and inexcusable. While I’m fully aware that basketball is an emotional game, such a distasteful term should never be tolerated.”
And what did Kobe have to say about his hateful language? Same ol’ excuses/denial/excuses/denial as usual. He spoke to an ESPN radio show and said, “The comment that I made, even though it wasn’t meant in the way it was perceived to be, is nonetheless wrong, so it’s important to own that. It’s important for me to talk about that issue because it’s OK to be who you are and I don’t want this issue to be a part of something or to magnify something that shouldn’t be.”
Oh wow, Kobe! “Owning” your behavior, but never directly apologizing for it. What are you, a misbehaved teenage girl? Charlie Sheen? And thanks so much for saying that it’s okay for people to be who they are. What a learning experience for all of us, you disgusting rapist.
It was announced yesterday that Catherine Zeta-Jones has entered treatment for bipolar disorder. Apparently, after a year of dealing with her husband‘s failing health, the actress decided last week to take care of herself for a moment and address some on-going psychiatric problems. Her rep said, “Catherine made the decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to treat her Bipolar II disorder. She’s feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her two upcoming films.”
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Bipolar II, it’s essentially the same as regular bipolar disorder, but with an extra helping of depression. Perhaps this explains some of the disparaging remarks the actress made about herself in the press last month. Good for her for getting treatment. As a mother and a wife to an ailing husband, it’s incredibly important that she address these issues.
One question though: I’m no mental health expert, but is it really healthy for someone just out of treatment to go back to work right away, especially on something as stressful as a film set? All that pressure on someone who’s just identified herself as being in a fragile place seems like it might not be the best thing for her. Can anyone who has experience with the disease speak to this?
This should be fun. I’m thinking, like, ‘Yeasty, rank beaver.’ Or maybe ‘Your rotted bits.’ ‘Yuppie-rich bigot‘? It’s up in the air. I’m going to have to mull this one over for a little while. If you’re feeling creative, figure it out and let me know, won’t you?
Anyway, Paris Hilton was photographed for the cover of YRB, the same magazine that did the weird Khloe Kardashian fetish shoot that made me think of Jack Links beef jerky for some obscure reason, so I’m not going to really ask any questions. I’m just going to point and laugh, because sometimes? You’re made just so uncomfortable by something that it’s all you see fit to do.
So that Gotti movie that John Travolta is in? Remember how Lindsay was possibly, maybe being considered for the role of Victoria Gotti? Well, even though nothing’s official (read: so far from official that it’s laughable that Lindsay was even AT this press conference), Lindsay showed up at the Gotti: Three Generations conference held yesterday looking … alright, looking exactly the way you’d picture a young Victoria Gotti to look. You win.
Anyway, my first thought about this entire thing was ‘Hey, great. John Travolta got some new hair for this Gotti movie.’ And then I got to thinking how awesome of an opportunity this could be for Lindsay Lohan. Seriously. I mean, starring as John Travolta’s kid? If it happens, and if she can stick with the whole filming thing without relapsing and fucking up the entire production, and IF she’s even still okay as an actress and pulls a performance off (and I know that’s a lot of ifs), this could be a total career boost for her. A Lindsay Lohan revival, if you will.
Travolta’s words on possibly sharing a screen with Lindsay? “I know whatever she would like to do would be great.” … Meaning “great” as in “fucking fabulous; I’ve waited my entire career for this shit,” or “great; I’m going to go fucking eat a gun, or maybe a dick, because OMG my career is SRSLY OVER.” John Travolta’s a hard nut to crack, don’t you know. Scrap that. I just reread his comment, and I’ve gotta be honest – I actually have no fucking idea what he’s trying to say.
Anyway, is it gonna happen? Who knows. There’s a shit ton that goes into casting a movie, even aside from picking the damn actors and actresses, and if definitely choosing Lindsay Lohan to play Victoria Gotti in this movie is number 4,482 on a list from 1 to 5,000, then we’re probably just on number 2,184 right now.
“Her life is pretty dull and she wants some excitement. She’s been married to Dewey for like 10 years. She’s been writing books. She’s completely tapped out and going through a major dry spell.”
As y’all know, Cox is in the middle of a separation with husband, David Arquette, who also stars in the upcoming Scream movie. Can you imagine how bad that’s gotta suck? I mean, having kids with someone and having the relationship shit the bed has gotta be rough, because you have to share your kid and stuff with that person, but having to work with them during those distressing times too? ‘Best friends’ or not, that’s gotta be a bitch, even if it’s just a little BIT of a bitch.
Honestly speaking, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s bottom half could begin resembling Jabba the Hutt’s, and I still think she’d be totally smoking hot. I mean that. I’d hit it, and I’d hit it hard before I’d even considering hitting a LOT of female celebrities out there, and that says a lot.
Moreover, what concerns me the MOST about these photos? That girlfriend looks like she’s seriously considering purchasing that oh-so-classy ‘FUCK’ pocketbook. It’s just … creepy.
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...
