Yes, Lindsay Lohan could possibly end up in jail on Wednesday. Shocking, right? She has a hearing where the judge is going to be all “why did you screw up your community service in every imaginable way? Why have you been skipping those therapy sessions? These ain’t options, girl, this is your probation and you’re not doing it right.” And Lindsay will be like “BUT I’M A GOOD PERSON!” Oh, and she’ll be wearing something inappropriate, we can’t forget that part.
If the judge decides that Lindsay violated her probation, she could be sent off to jail for up to a year and a half. Or, you know, thirteen days. Whichever.
I wish I could stand here (or rather, sit here in my bed with my laptop and my teddy bear) and say that I truly believe that Lindsay Lohan will finally be held accountable for her actions, but I just can’t. I’ve been burned by the false promises of the justice system too many times, and now all I can do is hope that this girl wears something ridiculous to court or rocks an offensive manicure so at least we can get a giggle out of this American tragedy.
I know, I know, two Robert Downey Jr. posts in the same day. But come on, what am I supposed to do? It’s a story where he talks about babies AND cats. Am I just supposed to leave that alone?
The deal is that last night, at the same event where RDJ defended Mel Gibson, Robert revealed that he and his wife, Susan, found out the sex of their sure-to-be adorable baby – does anyone else feel like they’re going to squee to death over this baby? – and that they have a name picked out and everything. Of course, we don’t get to hear about either, but we DO get to hear about the couple’s new pets!
RDJ and Susan adopted two cats after they “rescued them from a bush in West Hollywood that a friend of ours found.” Their names are Montgomery and Dartanian, and I will be scouring the whole internet for any pictures probably for the next few years of him with those kitties. Is that sad?
Finally, Robert Downey Jr. got asked about changing diapers, to which he charmingly answered “That’s just poop. That’s no big deal.” So now I appreciate him for the way he talks about baby poop. And I’m not proud of that.
Is there a support group out there? Can we start one?
Well, it looks like RDJ himself is asking for one, because he’s saying that the time has come to forgive Mel Gibson for all his wrongdoings. And what a fairy tale that would be!
Robert Downey Jr. created what could become a turning point in Mel Gibson’s public rehab last night, by heaping praise on Mel, telling a large crowd of celebrities that Mel deserved forgiveness.
Downey was being honored for his life work in Beverly Hills, when Mel took the stage and recalled how he had helped Downey when he was down and out, reflecting that people had warned him of Robert’s bad ways, but all Mel could see was a good guy. Then Mel made fun of himself, cautioning the crowd to remember who was making the assessment.
Then it was Downey’s turn. The two had worked together in “Air America,” bur more significantly, Mel had posted an insurance bond for Downey when all the movie companies refused because he was such a high risk.
Downey used a metaphor that he and Mel shared, telling the crowd, “When I couldn’t get sober, Mel helped me” … by giving him food and shelter. Downey said Mel told him to find faith and accept responsibility — Mel called it “hugging the cactus.”
Then Downey told the Crowd … Mel hugged the cactus long enough, and the place erupted in applause.
Yeah, I’m not so sure about that. Mel Gibson did a lot of bad things, like an unbelievable amount of bad things. But then again, RDJ isn’t asking that we go on a date with the guy, or let him join our book club or anything. He’s just asking that Mel gets the chance to act again. And maybe that’s ok.
What do you think? Should Mel continue to be shunned, or is it acceptable to let him make movies again?
The other day, I was watching The Reaping with my boyfriend, you know, that Hilary Swank movie about the plagues and all that? And we had that conversation that everyone has when they watch a Hilary Swank movie, the one where someone is like “do you think she’s pretty?” and everyone is like “wellll …” He also asked what Hilary had been up to in the past few years, and I honestly didn’t know. It’s been a long long time since I’ve heard any gossip at all about Hilary Swank. But then I checked, and you guys, Hilary Swank has been up to a lot. And it’s not good.
See, it all started when Hilary was asked to attend a birthday party for the president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, last week. And Hilary was like “yeah, sure, sounds like a blast!” and she went and gave this speech:
Note the part where that one guy is all “how did you know about this gig?” and Hilary goes “I read. I do my research.” Because the thing is that either Hilary is a liar who does not do her research or she is a cold-hearted shell of a lady, because it turns out that the president of Chechnya is actually not such a great guy. As in, he’s accused of torturing and murdering people.
So all these human rights groups are like “Hilary, what are you doing?” and Hilary has to issue this apology, saying that “I deeply regret attending this event. If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone.” She’s also saying that she’s going to donate the money she got for her appearance to charity, which makes it ok that she flashed her big goofy smile and gave a “happy birthday, Mr. President” to a dude who murders people.
Are we all caught up? I think so. Should we really hate Hilary? I’m not sure. Maybe a little.
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...
