Hooray for Brad Pitt

Papa Pitt has donated $100K to the fight against California's Prop 8, which aims to overturn the Supreme Court decision making same-sex marriage legal in the state. "Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8," Brad said Wednesday. More than just dona...

Congrats to George Takei!

The Star Trek icon married his partner of 21 years, Brad Altman, on Sunday in a multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum that featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, a Japanese Koto harp and a bagpipe procession. They both wore white dinner jackets and black pants, and entered to the tune of "One Singular Sensation" from A Chorus Line, just to weed out anyone who was under the mistaken notion that they were attending a heterosexual event. Fellow ...

Lindsay Lohan Waxes Political

Lindsay Lohan departs the Apple Lounge Grand Opening on August 14, 2008 Lindsay Lohan's latest MySpace blog? Is about Bristol Palin, of course. THERE IS NO OTHER NEWS THIS WEEK. Says Lindsay: I've been watching the news all morning, like everyone else - and i keep hearing about the issues related to 'teen pregnancy'- It's all related to Sarah Palin and her 17 year old unmarried pregnant daughter. Well, I think the real problem comes from the fact that we are taking the focus off of getting to know Sarah Palin and her political views, and what she can do to make our country a less destructive place. Its distrac...

Jon Voight Has (Stupid) Opinions

Is there anything more wonderful than when totally unqualified celebrities weigh in on matter that are actually important? Jon "Angelina's Dad" Voight may not be able to have a relationship with any of his six grandchildren, because of what a psychopath he's been toward Angelina in the past, but that's not going to stop him from spewing vile political nonsense in the Op-Ed pages of the Washington Post. I don't talk politics on this site a lot, because I'm probably more informed about the exact...

So I Guess Sarah Larson and George Clooney Are Really Dunzo

In case there was any doubt in anyone's mind, Sarah Larson's friend, Jennifer Morss, has cleared it up. Sarah and George are through. "From what we've talked about she's doing well," says Jennifer. "You just move forward. She's a strong, very smart girl who I think will make it through pretty much anything." Well, Sarah, if the country made it through an entire year of you dating George, I suppose anything is possible....

Amy Winehouse’s Mother Publishes Open Letter to Daughter

Amy Winehouse Buys Junk Food, Pictures, Photos I can't be snarky about this at all. I can barely bring myself to write about Amy Winehouse these days; she's such a talented young woman so close to death. Her mother sees that, too, and has published an open letter in News of the World to her daughter, as a last-ditch effort to reach out to her self-destructing daughter. The whole letter is heartbreaking. Says her mum: I hope it makes you realise that although you might be a superstar, you’re not superwoman. Early fame has...

Did You Guys Know Joni Mitchell Just Released a New Album?

joni_mitchell.jpg I'm sorry to veer off the traditional menu of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, but I absolutely adore Joni Mitchell. I grew up with my dad singing me Joni Mitchell songs to help me sleep. I think Blue is one of the greatest albums in the history of, well, the world. I've been listening to it since I was a little girl, and it never gets old. So I was really excited to hear that, at age 63, Mitchell has released her first album of new songs in nearly a decade, Shine. I'm listening to it...

Tila Tequila Will Fuck Anything

Tila Tequila to Star in Bisexual Dating Show on MTV Everyone's favorite MySpace slut is coming to MTV in the country's very first bi-sexual dating show. Is it the world's very first bi-sexual dating show? I'm not sure. Perhaps another country beat us to the punch. Leave it to France, I bet. Anyway, the show will be called A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, and debuts October 9. It'll work like any other dating show, except 16 of the contestants will be straight or bisexual men, and 16 will be lesbian or bisexual women. Her singin...

Um, Did Anyone Else Notice That TMZ Called Queen Latifah a Carpet-Muncher?

Queen Latifah is Totally a Lesbian I just had to point this out to anyone who missed it, because I laughed for like an hour over this. TMZ's a division of AOL/Time Warner, which has, you know, assets and stuff, so they can't exactly go around calling people big ole dykes, but they want you to know they know exactly what Queen Latifah's doing with her free time. Her heinieness was seen power-walking in faaaaaaaabulous West Hollywood yesterday, with her perky lil' trainer/galpal. Her majesty ate up the red carpet yester...
