Madonna attempts to tackle Sarah Palin with political humor: FAIL

0 comments



Madonna "Guns" Ciccone kicked off her "Sticky & Sweet" tour in the U.S. and decided to take a swipe at Governor Sarah Palin that's so nonsensical it makes Lindsay fucking Lohan sound like Edward R. Murrow. Somewhere, Senator Obama just went "These white women are killin' me!" Page Six reports:
The Material Mom indulged her Republican-hating ways, shouting, "Sarah Palin can't come to my party. Sarah Palin can't come to my show. It's nothing personal." Then the kabbalah queen told the crowd, "Here's the sound of Sarah Palin's husband's snowmobile when it won't start," followed by a loud screeching noise.

Wow. That was literally the worst attempt at political humor I've ever seen in my life. (Including Ross Perot's existence.) I think I speak for everyone when I say that Madonna should stick to what she knows: Battling the Thundercats as Mumm-Ra, THE EVER-LIVING!

Samantha Ronson sends Perez Hilton $86K check

0 comments

Samantha Ronson has finally forked over nearly $87,000 to blogger Perez Hilton. Why would she want to give him any of her money? Well she wouldn’t, but a court ordered her to. Perez has written on his website that the cocaine that Lindsay Lohan was found with during her May 2007 car crash was actually Ronson’s. Sick of all the nasty things he’d been saying about her, Ronson decided to file a libel suit against him. While Perez says a lot of mean things about a lot of celebs, he’d made a special project of Ronson.

However a court disagreed, and not only found in Perez’s favor, but also ordered Ronson to pay all of his court costs – which she finally did on Friday.

Samantha Ronson can scratch this lawsuit off her set list.

On Friday, gossip blogger Perez Hilton received a big fat check from Lindsay Lohan’s gal-pal for nearly $87,000 to cover his legal fees from a failed libel lawsuit.

In July 2007, the celebrity DJ sued Perez (aka Mario Lavandeira) for defamation after he reported that she owned the cocaine found in Lilo’s car after a May 2007 crash. A judge threw out the case in January 2008 and ruled that Ronson had to pay for Hilton’s legal fees, which she hadn’t done up until now.

By paying the $86,832, SamRo avoids a court hearing on Monday to discuss how she was going to pay

[From Yahoo News]

It’s hard to say if free speech just got a major boost or if unscrupulous egomaniacs just got to pad their bank accounts a little more. We always walk a fine line between balancing our freedom of speech and libel. While I wasn’t utterly surprised that Perez won, I was a bit shocked that Ronson was considered so at fault that she was ordered to pay his court fees.

I’m assuming this will just mean an escalation of their feud instead of an end to it.

Lindsay Lohan nude pics photo shoot: She isn’t quite Marilyn Monroe

2 comments

lindsay-lohan-nude-marilyn-monroe-photo.jpg

The Los Angeles times blog makes a very good point about the New York magazine’s photo spread of Lindsay Lohan’s nude pics. They make the point that Lindsay Lohan is no Marilyn Monroe. Now Lindsay can be absolutely beautiful- there’s no question. But it’s a different kind of beauty. Not the creamy white smooth skin sexpot that Marilyn Monroe personified and exuded. Why remake a good thing, when you can’t make it better?

Why do starlets insist on channeling Marilyn Monroe? At some point, every actress decides to have her “Marilyn moment” and dons a platinum wig and a fake mole to prove that she’s capable of playing an American icon. This week, Lindsay Lohan graces New York magazine in a spread shot by Bert Stern. Yes, that would be the same Stern who shot Monroe six weeks before she died of a reported overdose in 1962.

The alure of Marilyn Monroe, and the attraction to redoing her shoots- is understandable. But similar to American Idol contestants taking on Whitney Houston or Aretha Franklin, if you don’t have the same flair, it’s better not to go there.

Lindsay Lohan has a natural beauty and sweetness that has been covered over in recent years. It’s not too late for her to get her feet solidly on the ground and become who she was on track to becoming, before fame and freedom and lack of structure made it so easy for her to slowly steer herself down an unfortunate path.

Lindsay, you don’t need more fame right now. Just some time to really find yourself again. You will love what you find, if you go deeply enough.

Cristiano Ronaldo Christens New CR7 Shop

0 comments

Out growing his mini-empire, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo attended the inauguration of a brand new CR7 store in Lisbon on Tuesday (October 7).

Among the guests were his family and some good friends, including Luciana Abreu, the famous ‘Floribela’ in Portugal, who according with the Portuguese press is the lady that Cristiano’s mother would like him to be dating.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo is slowly but surely making his way back to full health following an ankle injury.

Of the recovery, Cristiano told press, “It will be another two orthree weeks before I can give 100%. I feel very good. There is good improvement there and I am very happy to be back.”

Ronaldo adds, “But my ankle has still not fully recovered. I still feel it a little bit. But the medical staff say that is normal and I feel very confident about the future.”

Would You Marry Britney Spears?

2 comments

She's been without panties. Without hair. Without seat belts for her kids.

But would you believe ... without savings?

Recent court papers show that blonde quasi-bombshell Britney Spears allocates none of her $737,000 monthly income to savings and investment.

OK, she's rich enough that it doesn't matter. But it's not (just) pantyless peek-a-boos or feeding frenzies at McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) that cry out to us for help. It's millions of children who lack role models in finance. If I may be blunt, we've got a nation of financial numbskulls in the making.

Fortunately, we can stop it.

Britney isn't the only one. Scores of less-flush celebs (witness the reportedly broke Lindsay Lohan, or net-worth-around-their-neck hip-hop artists) set a financial mis-example for kids. Our kids. Your kids. And our poorest, least-educated children suffer the most. High-interest credit cards, poor credit, abusive loan rates: They're headed toward our kids like Lindsay in an SUV, and nothing short of our national competitiveness is at stake.

Would you pop the question to Brit?
Wealth research firm Prince & Associates found that half of men and two-thirds of women were "very" or "extremely" willing to marry for money. How much? Men sold out at an embarrassingly small $1.2 million (women peddled themselves for just slightly more).

So, given that Britney is worth $100 million, at least half the males in this country should be "very" or "extremely" willing to marry her.

Et tu? You probably know what Britney -- Yahoo!'s (Nasdaq: YHOO) No. 1 celebrity by Internet searches in 2007 -- looks like without her hair. But try picturing her without wealth. The former Mouseketeer, recently filmed filching a $1.39 lighter from a Chevron (NYSE: CVX) mini-mart, would still be talented and able to excite your, um, Y chromosome -- and, to be fair, might actually shape up if the need arose -- but could she set your kids off right financially if she weren't rich?

Measure the treasure
Finance is a strange and strangely powerful force. More powerful, even, than Britney. Just to prove a point, if you have a child born this year -- and you're lucky enough to be upper-middle-class, though not rich -- he or she could wind up with more money than Britney in his or her lifetime, through assiduous financial management:

Net worth:

Britney: $100 million (Forbes estimate)

Your kid: $10,000 (from an index fund you set up right after birth)

Advantage: Britney

Monthly savings:

Britney: $0

Your kid: $1,000 (you cover it until your kid goes to work)

Advantage: Your kid

But to cut to the chase, by sticking with this plan over the years and earning a 10% annual return, your kid would end up with around $100 million by age 67. Make no mistake: Britney still has a $100 million egg she's sitting on. And saving $1,000 a month is out of range for many, if not most, readers. But to cut to the chase, by sticking with this plan over the years, your kid would end up with around $100 million by age 67. As you can see, going from upper-middle-class to megarich is possible within a lifetime for ordinary folks playing their financial cards "very" or "extremely" well.

What if you're just regular? Or poor? Finance has you -- and your kid -- covered: Investing a very feasible $100 a month on top of a $1,000 starting gift gets junior to over $10 million in the same time frame.

And Britney, if you're reading this, while we've gotta say it like it is, we really do care. You've earned your money, and we respect that. If you want some good investments -- or, better yet, if you'd like to make a difference in the financial lives of children -- drop us a line. We're here to help.

This Could Have Been Cute

Oh, Mariah!

When will you learn????

We know your new album bombed and all, but seriously, you can afford a stylist!

The singer showed up to host a night at The Bank nightclub in Vegas' Bellagio HOtel on Saturday night dressed in black from head to toe.

This outfit could have been cute if she had just worn the LBD (little black dress for you straight guys) and NOT the black stockings too.

Don't you agree?????

In exchange for hosting a night at the club, Mimoo filmed her new music video at The Bank on Sunday.

Is she still gonna go through with that tour she promised???

The economy is tough! And, as Janet has shown us, it's tough to sell out arenas these days!

Travis Barker Released from Hospital

This week Travis Barker and DJ AM were able to start moving on from their September 20 plane crash. Doctors released Travis from an Augusta, GA hospital,where he spent the past nine days following the deadly Learjet crash in South Carolina.

“Travis Barker was discharged from the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital this morning,” spokesperson Beth Frits told Us Monday afternoon. “He left in good condition.”

Despite burns on his torso and lower body, Barker has been “trying to stay upbeat,” his pal Bill Nosal recently told the Associated Press.

Travis, still clearly traumatized from the crash, is headed to LA via bus.

“He’s on a bus headed to L.A.” the source tells People. “Trust me, he will never fly again… ever.”

Meanwhile, DJ AM, real name Adam Goldstein, attended a memorial service in LA for Chris Baker, who died in the crash.

DJ AM arrived in a limousine to pay respects to Baker, 29. More than 300 people turned out to honor Baker, and many friends stood up to share their memories of him at the memorial service, which lasted two hours.

Baker was a close friend and assistant to Barker. “He was his right-hand man,” actor Simon Rex told People after the tragedy.

Baker is survived by his wife, Otillia Villar, and 2-year-old son, Sebastian.

Goldstein, dressed in a green polo shirt, followed Villar’s request that people wear green to honor her husband’s memory.

Best wishes to Travis and DJ AM in their recovery.

Demi Suing Mad! How's Madonna Involved???

0 comments
wenn19387532.jpg

Demi Moore has just filed a claim with the Federal Court in Australia to sue the popular Aussie Women's magazine New Idea.

What's got the almost 50-year-old so angry????

The "problem" is that the mag published some copyright infringing photographs without her consent, according to Moore.

As for the pics, they were taken in February at a Los Angeles Oscars Party that was organized by Demi and Madonna.

It showed a photo of Demi, Potato Head Rumer Willis, P. Diddy and Orlando Bloom.

The issue is that the photographer at the party signed a deal to give the shots to the party organizer, who then had agreed to sell them to Moore.

However, that wasn't the case and the images finally landed in the hands of New Idea.

As for Moore, she's seeking damages from publisher Pacific mags for an undisclosed amount. As an alternative, she also asked the company for its profits made as a result of running the images.

Good luck trying to determine that, foolspice!

There's a new hot club among celebrities and it's called Rehab!

After one, or two, or a few too many recently, Lily Allen's friends are trying to tell her to go to rehab because she drinks too much and consequently feels depressed.

Well, Lily said (You know what's coming) no, no, no.

"She's now saying she wants to move to LA for a fresh start, but we think she's just running away and needs to get help now," a pal snitched.

Rehab - everybody's doing it!

…and a lot of good it's done them.
