Kanye’s Fears Confirmed

Right, so, everyone knows just how upset Kanye West was after the death of his mother, and the suspicion that he harbored over that last operation, even though there were claims that it had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, well, take a look at Dr. January Adams, the same doc who was the last to operate on Kanye’s mom, because he was arrested Thursday morning around 2:45 AM for – get this – drunk driving. Yup. The genius was apparently driving the wrong way to go up an off-ramp. He was on the 680 freeway, located just a half hour or so from Oakland and after the cops pulled him over for that (Because, I SUPPOSE you might be able to just get REALLY REALLY lost on a freeway and forget that exits do not double as entrances) – he then failed a nice field sobriety test. So, he got arrested for driving the wrong way (HA), drunk driving, and for having – get this – a suspended license.

And this is his third DUI since ‘03.

Wanna hear more? Just Thursday afternoon he lost his MEDICAL license because he hadn’t been paying his child support. You’re a DOCTOR. HOW DO YOU NOT PAY CHILD SUPPORT.
What a bum.

Mini-Me’s Mini-BlowOut!

HA! So, the “authority” on breaking celebrity news, TMZ has just been slapped with at $20 million lawsuit by Verne Troyer, AKA MINI-ME from the Austin Powers film! Just the other day, a sex tape was released with Troyer and his ex in some… well, interesting activity. And TMZ happened to air parts of it and run it online.

So, just Thursday, Troyer slammed them with a lawsuit from downtown LA, claiming that TMZ had violated his privacy rights (DUH) and then infringed on his trademark and copyright (Eeeeh… I care less about that than the privacy bit) since they ran parts of the tape. And then he went on to say that they’d violated his “right of publicity” as well as “misappropriated” his likeness and name.

He’s claiming that this tape got stolen then given to the guy, Kevin Blatt, who had been reponsible for distributing Paris’s little foray into that line of work.

On top of the damages, he also wants an injunction so that the video can’t be distributed anymore.
Here’s the best part.

TMZ reported it today. Now if that isn’t one of the funniest things you have heard all day then I don’t know what is! HAHA!

Wall of DENIAL

So, Phil Spector, whose claim to fame was his recording technique the “Wall of Sound”, has just been denied a claim that the judge who had presided over his last deadlocked murder trial shouldn’t be allowed to preside because he was biased against him. Y’know what, Phil? When you’re sporting an afro and you look like you’re older than dirt, I wouldn’t blame the guy for not liking you. Heck, I don’t like you and neither do a lot of other people. Appears that you have a very small, small fan club.

Back in 2003, Spector was accused of killing the actress Lana Clarkson in his mansion, and the first trial ended with a conviction that now Spector’s defense must be getting more and more desperate to overturn. The defense has been claiming – quite unsuccessfully – that the judge simply wanted to convict a celebrity because it seemed impossible for that to happen in Los Angeles. (BULL CRAP!)

Looks like today was yet another nail in the increasingly darker coffin that Spector has gotten himself into, and, while he was sporting some more laidback hair, I don’t think it’s going to help him much, he’s still a jerk that no one likes, at all.

Butt It’s Just not Normal, Hulk!

Okay, maybe it’s just me, but if my dad and my family were at the beach and I was sunbathing, y’know, and I had a body like Brooke Hogan, I’d go find myself a hot beach boy to go rub suntan lotion on my ass – not my DAD. That’s just a level of wrong that I didn’t think anyone was weird enough to cross, BUT, then again, this IS the Hogans we’re talking about, with Hulk dating a girl who is, guess what, young enough to be his daughter, and Linda is dating a guy who is just a year older than her own son!

But, here’s the thing. Brooke Hogan has just come out to say that she doesn’t have a clue why everyone finds it so freakin’ creepy that her dad is lotioning her up. She compared it to changing her freakin’ diaper when she was a baby, or that he was touching an old car! WHAT?

NO. THAT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO THE SAME THING, NOT CLOSE AT ALL!

Most fathers out there who see that their daughter has her ass hanging out simply tells her to go put on a pair of shorts, not offer to help! It’s just gross!

Love Is in The Air, He Sings, Everywhere he Looks Around

So, first of all, bonus points if you know the song I playfully took liberties with right there, and second of all, one of the classically best finalists of American Idol, Ruben Studdard, seems to have been hit by Stupid Cupid and just Tuesday told the Associated Press that he’d be tying the knot with his girlfriend, Surata Zuri McCants for a Saturday wedding, this coming Saturday!

Man, way to keep that under wraps, way under. The only reason people found out was because they had to take out the marriage license and they did that Monday! So, the big huggable “Velvet Teddy Bear” of American Idol is now going to finally settle down with his lovely sweetheart, which means you’ll listen to any of his albums from after his win on the hit show in 2003 and you’ll think of the fact that he’s probably singing those dulcet tones to his woman. So does this mean there might be the pitter patter of little baby feet coming anytime in the near future? That is something we will have to just wait and see.

Hey, he’s got a pretty voice, and big and cuddly certainly isn’t a bad day. Seriously, though, I’m still amazed he kept it quiet for so long! Way to go, man!

Don’t Tick Off The Shaq: ROUND TWO!!

So, it seems that people were totally paying attention when Shaq decided that his version of freestyle had nothing to do with Shazam and had a lot to do with laying into Kobe Bryant. Turns out that just after finding out about his little anti-Kobe speech, a sheriff of Arizona wanted O’Neal’s reserve sheriff badge and he wanted it NOW.

Here’s the hilarious part, though. It didn’t take more than a few minutes before the Miami Beach Police, specifically, the Chief of Police, Mr. Carlos Noriega flat out stated that Shaq was in “good standing” with the police department and that they thought he was a very valuable asset to their organization.

So it seems that since he’s also serving as a reserve officer for Los Angeles Port Authority don’t really care either, because they didn’t tell us anything.

Either way, it’s kind of interesting that Shaq can get away with saying whatever the heck he wants, then not lose his badge, and then just Tuesday passed reporters while saying “I love you, Kobe!”

Ooookay. You have got, like, emotions like Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. Seriously. We need to level you out or something because this gets a little weird sometimes.

DO NOT TICK OFF THE SHAQ

Ooookay, few people in this world scare me more than professional hit men and that would be professional basketball players. THOSE GUYS ARE HUGE!

Now, here’s what’s even scarier! One basketball player, laying into the other basketball player! Now, that’s exactly what happened just Sunday night when Shaquille O’Neal went to a NYC club and proceeded to snag the mic. He then just launch into a freestyle attack all against Kobe Bryant, who really hasn’t exactly been a buddy of his for quite some time now. He started in on just ripping Kobe apart for having lost in the playoffs, and then he suddenly dropped a bit of insult about how Kobe must have “ratted [Shaq] out” and therefore was responsible for the failure of his marriage.

Okay. No. I love Shaq, I do, just cuz… he’s Shaq. But, c’mon, man, lets talk personal responsibility. You are responsible for your own actions, and that means that you can’t blame Kobe for airing your dirty laundry. It’s still your own dirty laundry!

Then again, this probably has to do with the fact that when Kobe was on trial for rape back in 2003, he told the police that he should’ve just acted like Shaq and paid the chick who had sex with him not to say anything. OOPS.

The Salute to a Legend

Some people may not think that this is the most “noteworthy” news, but here’s the thing. Legendary comedian, an amazingly brilliant wordsmith George Carlin died just Sunday after collapsing from a heart attack. The man was 71.

Now, before everyone starts getting sappy and saying “he’s in a better place,” I’d rather spend time saluting the greatness that was the legend, as comedians Jay Leno and Ben Stiller just did Monday evening. He was a kind man who did a lot for many people all over the place and his work and caring will continue to live on even though he is gone. As an Atheist and one of the most thoughtful and provocative comedians out there, Carlin can be saluted for one thing, and one thing alone if nothing else:

He Made Us Think. He Made Us Stop and Realize Things.

And so he’s gone now, but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten.

So here it is. This is a salute to George Carlin.

And with that, I’m off to not buy more stuff for my stuff. Just like Carlin himself said. Take a minute, everyone, and just think about the fact that though he’s gone, he’s not forgotten. Not by a longshot.

Celebrity News: Fragile Lungs for a Powerhouse Voice

So, this just in, Sunday one of the most devastating pieces of news we’ve heard in a while. 24-year-old gorgeous singer Amy Winehouse, who has already had a slew of problems in the form of drugs and smoking, has just been announced to have emphysema. Now, this is the same disease that killed Johnny Carson, so it’s sad to see such a well-known personality also have the same disease.

Amy Winehouse have emphysema

According to what her father has said, she collapsed at her home on Monday after she’d just signed some autographs, and was then rushed to a hospital. It wasn’t until Sunday evening that the news was finally broken that her condition is grave enough that unless she quits the drugs and the smoking, she’ll be wearing an oxygen mask and her days will be numbered. What does this mean for Winehouse’s singing career exactly? Will she keep going and just see what happens as usual or will she really take note this time, stop the drugs, the drinking and the smoking and realize that this is really a serious matter. We are talking life and death here, not about going to the Grammy’s.

We’re just not sure what she will do but we hope she keeps pushing and can be a positive influence on others.

Reign of Sand and Turf! Surfers to the Rescue!

Poor Matthew McConaughey can’t seem to catch a break, and I’m not really talking about the waves at the beach. The incredibly buff and sexy McConaughey was just trying to catch some waves and surf some just Sunday and apparently, even the press wouldn’t let him do that without being around. There were at least twelve different paparazzo there on the beach, relentlessly trying to get pictures of the star while he was just hoping for relaxation in the ocean. It seems that being a star means you always have to be ready for anything, no matter where you happen to be.

Here’s the funny part, though. It turns out, the paparazzi were NOT welcome at the beach, because an all-out knock-down drag-out “I’ll tear your chest hair off” beach brawl ensued. The surfers, who both were interested in keeping their own privacy, as well as McConaughey, pretty much laid into the photographers. It was really a site to see. I mean imagine it…men in speedo’s tearing into fully cloth men who have camera’s everywhere. It was definitely a hoot to say the very least.

Wanna hear the best part, though?

McConaughey wasn’t even INVOLVED. He was out catching a wave surfing!
