Jared Leto Doesn’t Think I’m Funny Either :(

Ah, blog backlash. As a mounting wave of celebrity vitriol prepares to crash upon the shores of the next generation of opinion makers -- those who don't have to run their words past an editor -- a once-hot Jared Leto has grabbed his eyeliner and is writing mean things about us on bathroom mirrors. Says Leto:I think that blogs should die a sudden death. It’s just ridiculous. It’s like a playground for four-year-olds. People say and do things in the world of blogs that they would never...

A drastic shift in the supply/demand curve of the blow industry impacts all of us.Cameron Diaz filed a police report accusing a photog of assault with a deadly weapon. Angelina and Brad continue their tireless quest to buy our forgiveness, donating $1M each to the Global Action for Children and Doctors Without Borders. I...

Fergie Doesn’t Think I’m Funny

Fergie recently made the following statement about gossip bloggers to a gay NYC paper called Homo Xtra:I just think, ‘Wow, I’ve worked so hard for this, but what are you doing other than sitting there behind your computers and talking shit about people?’ If people don’t like me, fine, but don’t dis people if you’re not getting off your ass and doing something about your own life.That's so true, dear. We can't all share our vapid, inarticulate opinions wit...

Eat at Joe’s

Apparently Joe Simpson didn't get the memo that Dukes of Hazzard sucked. He's planning to open a chain of restaurants called Daisy Dukes, to capitalize on that one movie that capitalized on his daughter's tits and ass. I don't understand how he has time for this sort of endeavor, between micromanaging his daughters' careers and personally photographing their breasts just so, but where there is money to be made from his children's sexuality, there you will find Joe Simpson.The former reverend plans...

Midday Mess: Kate & Owen Sittin’ in a Tree

For the eight of you who are still watching the actual SNL rather than the newer, hipper, Sorkin'd-out Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, you'll be sorry (or perhaps not) to hear that the annual bloodletting at the Lorne Michaels antiquity means the show will say goodbye to Chris Parnell, Horatio Sanz and Finesse Mitchell. In honor of what would have been Jerry Orbach's 71st birthday, TNT will spend October paying tribute to the late actor by airing every Law & Order episode graced by his unique b...
