Now You Know Why, Hillary!

Women running for top offices need to appear competent and attractive, according to a new study. For male candidates, seeming competent may be enough.

It's a finding that could help justify heavy spending on makeup and wardrobe for Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, while at the same time raising questions about the need for a man like John Edwards to invest in a costly haircut.

For male candidates, the only thing that mattered was competence, while female voters preferred men who seemed both competent and approachable.

But for "female candidates for a hypothetical election for the United States presidency, both male and female voters were more likely to vote for candidates that were both competent and attractive," Chiao said in a telephone interview.

Blah blah blah. Hillary may not be as pretty, but Palin sure as hell isn't as competent.


Give me Hill any day!!!!

Mya Better Learn Japanese...

If anyone cares or even remembers her name...


R&B singer Mya has a new album on the way.

Try to contain your excitement.

In a surprise move (to no one but Mya herself) the singer will release a 14-track album for Japanese fans only in December.

Titled "Sugar & Spice," a follow up to 2007's Liberation which was also released in Japan only, the album features a collaboration with Lil Mama and Sean Paul.

I know I won't be asking anyone in Japan to send me even an mp3 sample. How about you?

Political Panty Pudding

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to four months in jail Tuesday for the so-called "sex-and-text scandal."

Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner called him "arrogant and defiant" and questioned the sincerity of a guilty plea that ended his career at City Hall. Kilpatrick declined to speak in court, but his lawyers urged the judge to look at his entire career, not just the crimes that threw local government into disarray for months.

Kilpatrick admitted lying while testifying last year in a civil lawsuit filed by former police officers who accused him of illegally demoting or firing them. He and chief of staff Christine Beatty, both 38, were accused of having an affair and denied it, but text messages obtained by a lawyer in the case — and later the Detroit Free Press — clearly contradicted them.

The jail sentence was part of a plea agreement reached last month. Groner followed that deal but said Kilpatrick would not get time off for good behavior, potentially up to 20 days in this case.

"When someone gets 120 days in jail, they should get 120 days in jail," Groner said.

Kilpatrick also was given a 120-day concurrent sentence for assaulting a sheriff's officer who was trying to deliver a subpoena in July.

The disgraced mayor was escorted across the street to the county jail, where he will spend 23 hours a day in a private cell. As he was being led away, he yelled out to supporters: "You all take it easy."

They responded: "Be strong, Mayor. We love you, Mayor. We got your back, Mayor."

Looks like someone else may have his backside on that 24th hour, mmmK?


"This is a sad day for Detroit and for the Kilpatrick family," Cockrel said in a statement. "As a city, we now must put the past behind us and work together to meet our common challenges."

What is it with elected officials that can't control their panty pudding?!!!

Heed This Warning!

Via his new Comedy Central show "Chocolate News," comedian David Alan Grier is literally begging all African Americans to refrain from doing "stupid sh*t" until after Nov. 4.


"We are on the precipice of history," Grier says directly into the camera. "We are within spitting distance of putting a brother in the White House, but right now, Barack's chances are shakier than Whitney on the pipe! So black people, I am begging you, until Nov 4, stop doing stupid sh**!"

As if half of his core audience knows what the word 'precipice' means!

Grace Jones Un-Censored

In an interview with German magazine TV Spielfilm, Jamaican-born entertainer Grace Jones said she was sorry Hillary Clinton had failed to last through the primaries, and that she "can't stand" vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Jones, 60, said Palin stood for a backward vision of America laden with government restrictions of sexuality and social behavior.

"I would have loved it if Hillary Clinton had pulled it off," Jones said in the interview published in German marking the release of her new album. "I can't stand Sarah Palin. I bet a woman like that has no sense of humor."

The androgynous Jones, who was a disco staple in the 1980s, admits she had angered feminists for stunts such as "appearing naked in a cage," but insisted she had the right to determine what was artistic or simply exploitative.

"I believe a woman can present herself as a sex object if she has fun doing it," she said.

So What Is Your Excuse For Not VOting?

T.I. originally thought his voting privileges were revoked as a convicted felon, until he researched and learned that under a Georgia law felons are eligible if they’re not currently serving probation or a prison sentence.

“It’s a relief,” said the best-selling rapper, who stood in line for no more than 10 minutes on Wednesday before entering a polling center in suburban Atlanta to vote for the first time in his life.

“This what it is all about, not staying up late and waking up early to vote,” he added. “Now rather than just talking about it, I’m being about it. I’m leading by example, and it makes me feel a lot better.”

T.I., who already has two No. 1 hits off his new album “Paper Trail” (“Whatever You Like” and “Live Your Life” with Rihanna), does have several federal firearms offenses and ongoing community service endeavors, stemming from his arrest last October for trying to buy automatic weapons. But his lawyer, Steve Sadow, confirmed that he can still cast a ballot because his sentence doesn’t start until late March next year.


So, if you are in or have been in jail, check with your local authorities to see if you are eligible to vote in this election.
Make your voice count!

Lohan & The Unemployment Line Come Together

Can't you just sense the smack smoldering in this picture?


Ugly Betty" actress Vanessa Williams has come out in defense of guest star Lindsay Lohan amid reports that a feud with lead America Ferrera cut her scheduled six-episode visit to four.


"That's what the press does, that's what gossip's about, and media is about," Williams told WENN. "I had a few scenes with Lindsay. She was a hard worker, she showed up on time and in the scenes I had with her, she was completely prepared. In terms of me working with Lindsay, she was professional, she knew her lines and she was great with me."


The only lines Lindsay knows are found in the bathroom stalls of Manhattan night clubs.

DeBarge Is Back...in Jail

El DeBarge, the former lead singer of his family group DeBarge, is back in jail without bail due to two outstanding warrants at the time of his arrest earlier this month for possession of a controlled substance.


The singer, born Patrick Eldra DeBarge, was arrested last year on charges including vandalism, drugs and domestic violence. He's due back in court today, the Web site reported.


El DeBarge is the fifth of eight brothers and sixth of ten DeBarge family members. He formed the singing group, DeBarge, in 1978 with his siblings Mark, Randy, James and Bunny.

When there are that many children in a house, one of them is bound to be a crackhead!

Confirmed: Retards Support McCain

File this one under 'Insane In The Membrane'...


A young campaign volunteer for John McCain made up a story of being robbed, pinned to the ground and having the letter "B" scratched on her face in what she had said was a politically inspired attack by a black man, police said Friday.

Race has been a sensitive issue in the presidential campaign, as Democrat Barack Obama would be the first black U.S. president if he wins the Nov. 4 election.

Ashley Todd, 20-year-old college student from Texas, admitted Friday that the story was false, including the claim that the "B" stood for "Barack," said Maurita Bryant, the assistant chief of the police department's investigations division.

Todd was charged with making a false report to police, and Bryant said police doubted her story from the start.

Dressed in an orange hooded sweat shirt, Todd left police headquarters in handcuffs late Friday and did not respond to questions from reporters. The mark on her face was faded and her left eye was slightly blackened when she arrived in district court.

Todd was awaiting arraignment Friday on the misdemeanor false-report charge, which is punishable by up to two years in prison.


She will be housed in a mental health unit at the county jail for her safety and because of "her not insignificant mental health issues," prosecutor Mark Tranquilli said.

Todd initially told investigators she was attempting to use a bank branch ATM on Wednesday night when a 6-foot-4 black man approached her from behind, put a knife blade to her throat and demanded money. She told police she handed the assailant $60 and walked away.


Next time, try an 'O', stupid bitch.

Or wait, is that what the B stands for?

Isiah Thomas: Crackhead?

Authorities were called to the home of former New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas, where police said a 47-year-old man was taken to the hospital and treated for an accidental overdose of sleeping pills early Friday morning.

Police would not identify the man, except to give his age, though NBC News, the New York Daily News and the New York Post each reported sources identified the person as Thomas.

But when reached on his cell phone the 47-year-old Thomas told the New York Post he had not been treated for a sleeping pill overdose, and that it was his 17-year-old daughter Lauren who had a medical issue.

It “wasn’t an overdose,” he told the newspaper. “My daughter is very down right now. None of us are OK.”

Harrison Police Chief David Hall refuted Thomas’ claim about his daughter to the New York Times on Friday night.

“I understand that this person claims it was his daughter; he is lying,” Hall told the newspaper. “It was definitely not his daughter, it was a male. We know the difference between a 47-year-old black male and a young black female.”

“We’re classifying it as an accidental overdose of prescription sleeping pills,” Hall said Friday. “I’m not going to confirm or deny that it was Isiah Thomas. It was an individual at his home.”

Hall told The Daily News that the man took about 10 Lunesta sleeping pills. “He was unconscious, but breathing on his own,” Hall told the paper.


The drama is the latest in what has been a difficult year for Thomas.

He was fired as the Knicks coach on April 18 after a season of dreadful basketball, a tawdry sexual harassment lawsuit and unending chants from fans demanding his dismissal. Still, he was retained by the organization as an adviser and consultant to Donnie Walsh — who had replaced him as president as basketball operations.

Something in the milk ain't clean in this story!!!

Miley's Boinking Old Men

In an interview Thursday morning with Ryan Seacrest for his radio show, “On Air With Ryan Seacrest,” Seacrest asked Miley Cyrus if she was dating model Justin Gaston.

“Why do you want to know?” Cyrus countered. “Do you have a crush on me?”

translation: stop asking me about my love life, homosexual!

Cyrus didn’t confirm she is with the handsome 20-year-old, but when asked if she is allowed to date Gaston, she answered in the affirmative.

“Yes, but I just think that right now everything is really good so I haven’t been really answering the question much,” Cyrus said. “We’re just really happy with… the way that everything’s worked out and he’s really been a really great friend.”


translation: we're not sure how the media is going to portray a teenager dating a guy in his 20s, so we're going to lie low and hope the sex tape doesn't surface

Cyrus said that in addition to being a “really great Christian guy,” Gaston has been there for her when she’s needed him.


translation: if he knocks her up, he'll have to marry her to 'set things right'

“He’s gone through stuff and I’ve gone through stuff… and I think it’s really awesome that we kind of have that in common, that we can talk about it and we understand,” she said. “I’m totally gushing right now.”

The “Hannah Montana” star said that one of the reasons the two get along so well is because Gaston understands the price of fame. And Cyrus’ parents also like Justin, the Disney star said.

“They do,” she told Seacrest. “He worked with my dad, so my dad thinks he’s really cool.”

And the pedophile train keeps a-chuggin'

Dreamgirl's NightMare

Authorities are investigating the death of Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother, after the two were found shot and killed in the family’s home in Chicago’s South Side on Friday.

Jennifer Hudson’s publicist was first to confirm the victims of the shootings were the Oscar-winner’s mother, Darnell Donnerson, and her brother, Jason Hudson.

“We can confirm that there is an ongoing investigation concerning the deaths of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, Darnell Donavon, and her brother, Jason Hudson,” Lisa Kasteler, Jennifer Hudson’s rep, said in a statement released to Access Hollywood. “No further comment will be made and the family has asked that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.”


Jennifer, the “American Idol” alum and Academy Award winner for her role in “Dreamgirls,” was in Florida at the time of the incident, according to WABC-TV in New York. She is now reportedly en route to Chicago.


Our prayers are with Jennifer Hudson and her family during this difficult time.

Miss Louisiana Teen USA is One Stupid Ho

Reigning Miss Louisiana Teen USA Lindsey Evans has been stripped of her crown after being arrested for marijuana possession and skipping out on a restaurant tab.

"Lindsey Evans has been part of an organization that believes in opportunities when earned and consequences when warranted," Paula Miles, president of pageant sponsor RPM, said in a statement. "Due to recent circumstances, Lindsey has been relieved of her duties as Miss Louisiana Teen USA 2008 effective immediately."

Evans, 18 and three of her friends walked out on a $46.07 bill at the Posados Café in Bossier City, La., on Saturday night. But Evans made a crucial misstep — she left her purse behind.


Police were called, and according to them, they found not only her driver's license, but also a bag of marijuana in her purse.

Evans and her friends — Jordan James, 18, Jennifer Martin, 22, and Morgan Goleman, 18 — returned to the restaurant to retrieve the purse, just as officers were about to leave the scene.

"One of the officers recognized Evans from her identification, and they were subsequently arrested," police spokesman Mark Natale told TODAYshow.com

Natale said that the women admitted that they purposely left without paying their bill, though at least one of the women blamed the restaurant.

"The service was so slow, we just said, 'screw it' and left," Martin told the New York Post.

All four were booked on charges of theft and possession of marijuana. Martin and James were also booked for possession of drug paraphernalia.

The women were released after posting bond early Sunday morning, and Natale said they are expected to be arraigned in Bossier District Court in January.

Evans, of Blanchard, La., is a student at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, La., and won the 2008 crown after being first runner-up in 2007.

Since the pageant's 2008 first runner-up will be competing for the 2009 crown, there will be no one to fill Evans' shoes. Michelle Berthelot, the current Miss Louisiana USA, will crown both the winners of the Miss Louisiana USA and Miss Louisiana Teen USA pageants.

Evans lost the crown 10 days shy of completing her reign, which would have ended November 1.


Dumb ho! If you are Miss Louisiana Teen USA, you make your friends carry all your drugs, carry your purse, AND drive you wherever you want to go.

Get with the goddamn program!!!!

Dancing With The Fatties?

"Dancing With the Stars" professional Cheryl Burke is facing new criticism over her weight and it's not from bloggers, but from her fellow pros.

"People look at this show to be inspired and think, 'If I just work hard enough, I can look like that," Louis Van Amstel, who in "DWTS" season 6 was paired with Priscilla Presley, told the new issue of TV Guide. "If they watch someone who's dancing her butt off and she's still heavy, they can be discouraged. You have to take that responsibility."

Van Amstel and fellow professional Maksim Chmerkovskiy spoke out about Burke's weight and that of "Dancing" newcomer Lacey Schwimmer in the mag's new issue.


Chmerkovskiy, who was forced to leave "DWTS" earlier this season when his partner, Misty May-Treanor, tore her Achilles tendon, said he asked the women to take stock of their figures at the start of the season.

"When I first saw these women this season, I said, 'Guys, you know the camera adds 10 pounds,'" Chmerkovskiy recounted. "'You have to do something about this.'"

Burke attributed her weight gain to having fun over the summer, and Schwimmer said she isn't yet "back to" her "old self" following a December 2007 knee surgery.

Van Amstel, however, said the weight gain happened because there was no "DWTS" jaunt over the summer.

"If you want to gain weight, it's your prerogative," Van Amstel said. "We all put on weight because there was no summer tour. But you have to deal with the consequences."

But not everyone has been weight-critical.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Burke's current castmates — including leaderboard champ Brooke Burke — recently leapt to her defense after bloggers singled the two-time "DWTS" champ out.

Whatever. Cheryl 'thick-thighed trick' Burke needs to lay off the Popeye's and get her ass and other 1999 parts in shape.

You're on TV, cow!!!

Oprah Sued!!!!

A Louisiana man has filed a lawsuit against Oprah Winfrey, claiming she and an attorney made false statements that led the FBI to arrest him on charges that he tried to extort the talk-show host.

Keifer Bonvillain, who had the charges dismissed, seeks damages of $180 million from Winfrey, her attorney and the FBI in the federal lawsuit filed Tuesday.

Bonvillain, of Houma, La., was arrested in December 2006 after he allegedly recorded telephone conversations with an employee of Winfrey's production company and told a company associate he wanted to publish a book based on the recordings. The FBI said he claimed to have offers from publishers and tabloids ranging from $500,000 to $3 million.

This man has not a chance in hell of getting any cash off The O!

Funky Cold Medina

No, heauxz, that is NOT Usher in bad pancake makeup!!!!


Benny Medina, the one-time manager of such celebs as Jennifer Lopez, Tyra Banks, Mariah Carey and Usher, has decided to shut down his management company Handprint Entertainment, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The industry veteran and his Handprint partner Jeff Pollack have also steered the careers of Kyra Sedgwick, Mekhi Phifer, Chris Rock, Will Smith, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and Nicole Richie.


But, as Fox411 columnist Roger Friedman puts it, "a stint with Usher was short. Banks left once she started making real money. Lopez left during her famed "Bennifer" days with Ben Affleck, who didn't like Medina. More recently, Mariah said 'adieu' after her marriage to actor Nick Cannon."

How quickly they fall. Well, he can always end up as a stunt double for Usher. God knows he looks like he has been thrown from a couple of cars already.

Dear Beyonce: Gaining Weight Does Not an Actress Make

Beyonce says she had a much better time preparing for her role as curvaceous soul legend Etta James in "Cadillac Records" than for her character of Deena in the 2006 musical "Dreamgirls."


"I gained almost 15 pounds to play the [Etta James] role," Beyoncé, 27, says in the November issue of In Style. "It was way easier – and tastier – than having to lose so much weight for Dreamgirls."


As for her upcoming as-yet-untitled album, due Nov. 18, Beyonce said: "Lyrically, it's deeper than what I've done before. I wasn't mature enough or old enough, or in touch with myself enough, to do this type of album before. I didn't have the guts."

Last week, Beyonce finally opened up about her marriage to longtime boyfriend Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter.

"This is a new chapter for me," she told People. "I'm terrified, but excited. It's like I'm a new woman."


Can someoen please relay the message to beyonce that eating Popeye's every day is not acting? Didn't we already go over this matter before for 'Dreamgirls'?!

We Say A Little Prayer For You

Soul singer Dee Dee Warwick, the younger sister of R&B veteran Dionne Warwick, died Saturday at a nursing home in South Orange, NJ, reports the Associated Press. She was 63.

Family spokesman Kevin Sasaki said she had been in failing health in recent months, and her sister was by her side when she died.

Warwick was best known for her string of hits in the 1960s and 70s, including "Foolish Fool," "She Didn't Know (She Kept on Talking)" and a version of "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" that was later covered by Diana Ross and The Supremes.

Warwick was twice nominated for a Grammy Award and sang backup for Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett and others before launching a solo career. She was the niece of gospel singer Cissy Houston and a cousin of Whitney Houston.

The Newark-born talent was a teen when she began singing with her older sister in the late 1950s. The two performed as The Gospelaires and also collaborated and sang with the Drinkard Singers, a long-running gospel group that also featured some of the Warwicks' aunts and uncles and was managed by their mother.

Most recently, Warwick provided background vocals for her sister's one-woman autobiographical show, "My Music & Me," which played to sold-out crowds in Europe this year. She also performed on the title song from Dionne Warwick's gospel album, "Why We Sing," released January 2008.

Chris Tucker, The Future Is (Almost) Here!!

The countdown continues.

Who knew that Chris Tucker could foresee the future?!!

DOLEMITE IS DEAD

Seminal comedian Rudy Ray Moore, better known as Dolemite, has died in Akron, Ohio. He was 81.

Moore, whose actual name was Rudolph Frank Moore, passed away Sunday from complications of diabetes, his only child and daughter, Yvette "Rusty" Wesson, told us.

Moore is perhaps best known as Dolemite, the uniquely articulate pimp (“… rappin’ & tappin’ is my game!”) from the 1975 film "Dolemite," and its sequel, "The Human Tornado." The persona was developed during his earlier stand-up comedy records.

Rudy Ray Moore was also known as the "king of the party records" and released many comedy records throughout the 1960s and 1970s, developing a style even more rude and explicit than contemporaries like Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor. This kept him off of television and major films, but cultivated an enduring fan base. He also guested on Big Daddy Kane's CD Taste of Chocolate, released in 1990.

The 2 Live Crew used Rudy Ray Moore's records as scratch samples on their early work; most notably on "Throw The Di*k."

Moore starred in "Big Money Hustlas," a movie created by and starring the Insane Clown Posse, in which he played Dolemite for the first time in over 20 years.

In 2008 Rudy Ray Moore reprised the character Petey Wheatstraw for the song "I live for the Funk" Featuring Blowfly and Daniel Jordan. This marked the first time Blowfly and Rudy have collaborated on the same record together, and the 30 year anniversary since the movie was filmed.

Moore began his entertainment career as an R&B singer and continued singing through his comedy career. He developed an interest in comedy in the Army after expanding on a singing performance for other servicemen.

Besides his daughter, Moore also leaves behind his 98 year-old mother Lucille. Although, Wesson couldn't tell us the exact dates, funeral services will be in Toledo, Ohio as well as Spokane, Washington where his mother and the rest of his immediate family lives.

Heaven is welcoming another pimp up in the sky!!!

Colin Does The Right Thing

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell went against his Republican party and endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president Sunday, saying a victory by the Illinois senator would "electrify the world."

"I think we need a transformational figure. I think we need a president who is a generational change and that's why I'm supporting Barack Obama, not out of any lack of respect or admiration for Sen. John McCain," Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Powell praised McCain as a war hero and a good friend for 25 years. He said both McCain and Obama are qualified to be commander in chief, but concluded Obama has "displayed a steadiness. Showed intellectual vigor. He has a definitive way of doing business that will do us well."

The retired general said he was disappointed with McCain's campaign strategy in the past two weeks, which has included bringing up Obama's ties to former 1960s radical Bill Ayers.

"Mr. McCain says that he's a washed up terrorist, but then why do we keep talking about him? And why do we have the robocalls going on around the country trying to suggest that because of this very, very limited relationship that Senator Obama has had with Mr. Ayers, somehow Mr. Obama is tainted," Powell said. "What they're trying to connect him to is some kind of terrorist feelings. And I think that's inappropriate. Now, I understand what politics is all about, I know how you can go after one another and that's good. But I think this goes too far, and I think it has made the McCain campaign look a little narrow. It's not what the American people are looking for."

Powell, who served as secretary of state in President Bush's first term, and helped make the case before the United Nations for the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, also expressed disappointment in McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as the Republican vice presidential nominee.



"Now that we have had a chance to watch her for some seven weeks, I don't believe she's ready to be president of the United States, which is the job of the vice president," Powell said. "And so that raised some question in my mind as to the judgment that Sen. McCain made."

"Meet the Press" host Tom Brokaw asked Powell if he was concerned that critics may assume his endorsement of Obama is based on their shared African American race. Powell said it did not factor in his decision. If it did play a role, he said, he would have made the endorsement months ago.

Responding to Powell's endorsement of Obama, McCain said he disagreed that Obama is qualified to be president.

"We have a respectful disagreement," McCain said of Powell on "Fox News Sunday."

McCain is full of shit. Picking Palin as Vice President when a heart that frail has a veryl ikely chance of stopping forever withint he next 4 years? It's dangerous politics, and finally Powell has done the right thing after joining Bush and his cronies for his first term.

Now, if McCain thinks he is the change America needs he needs to think again, and take Miss Palin back to Alaska where she belongs!

Jenny Is Heated!!

On the cover of the most recent issue of Us Weekly, Jenny McCarthy declares her son Evan essentially cured of autism. Denis Leary, the same week, came under fire for jokes he makes about autism in his new book, “Why We Suck: A Feel Good Guide to Staying Fat, Loud, Lazy and Stupid.” Leary has since said that any perceived jokes about autism were taken out of context, but McCarthy told Access Hollywood “It’s so hard to even get up enough juice in me or energy in me to even try to fight someone that is obviously stupid.”

A friend of McCarthy’s says while she’s trying to keep her emotions in check, she is livid. “Jenny has worked so hard to spread awareness about autism. She nearly lost the essence of her son to it, her marriage fell apart because of it. Now Denis says what he did — even if his remarks were taken out of context, Jenny feels like it just does a disservice to so much of her hard work.”

What Would KiKi Shepherd Say?!

72-year-old former host booked for investigation of domestic violence
Don Cornelius, the former host of the television show "Soul Train," was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, police said Saturday.

Police were called to his Hollywood Hills home late Friday after someone reported a domestic dispute, Officer Sam Park said.

The 72-year-old producer was taken to jail, where he was booked for investigation of felony domestic violence, Park said. He was released on $50,000 bail and ordered to appear in court next month.

The picture above is of Don (with his) Ho. Judging by the looks of her, Cornelius could have chalked this one up to foreplay. I am sure she was one of Heidi's girls back in the day.

It's Cheaper to Keep Him

Guy Ritchie and Madonna have settled their divorce, according to the British newspaper The Sun.

The "RocknRolla" director will reportedly walk away with assets totaling around $60 million, including a 1,200-acre country estate, a London pub, and a cash settlement.

Madonna will hold on to her New York and Los Angeles homes and most of her considerable fortune, The Sun reported.

"The negotiations were relatively painless," The Sun quoted a source as saying. "Guy knew what he wanted and Madonna knew what she was keen to keep. There was a spell when Guy was in a mood to dig his heels in, but he decided this arrangement seemed reasonable and a long battle over money would make life unbearable."

Madonna is being represented by divorce lawyer Fiona Shackleton, who formerly represented Paul McCartney in his divorce from Heather Mills. Shackleton reportedly negotiated Madonna's divorce terms during a day of phone calls with Guy's lawyers.

The former couple reportedly expects to reach a compromise over their three kids — Lourdes, 12, who is the daughter of Madonna and ex Carlos Leon, and sons Rocco, 8, and David, 3.

We can just see Madonna's personal ads now as she searches for a new piece:

Single, Italian slut with Type A personality with 3 children by three different men seeks man strong enough for a woman who is a man.

Beyonce's Annual Lace Front Weave Budget Exceeds This Donation

Beyonce Knowles has made a personal donation of $100,000 to the Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund benefiting victims of Hurricane Ike in the Greater Houston area who've lost homes, property, and jobs.

The Fund was established at the request of Houston Mayor Bill White to help fill human needs for victims located primarily in Galveston, Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Harris and Montgomery counties.

The Gulf Coast Ike Relief Fund will provide aid to nonprofit organizations providing immediate relief in the area including shelter and temporary housing, food and household supplies, transportation and child care.

Cheap and look how it concides with the release of her album. she could have given that measly 100K months ago.

She should re-title her latest collection, 'I Am...Cheap'

Operation Desperation: Palin on SNL

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is set to appear on this week’s broadcast of “Saturday Night Live,” the entertainment show that has featured a popular parody of the Alaska governor by former cast member Tina Fey.

Palin will appear Saturday on the show hosted by actor Josh Brolin, who plays President Bush in director Oliver Stone’s new movie, “W.”

A John McCain campaign spokeswoman, Jill Hazelbaker, on Friday confirmed Palin’s appearance but offered no details about what the Alaska governor will say or do.

Like she has any idea either.

Everyone get ready to play the drinking game with Joe Six-Pack!

Bourne Again

In a no-brainer, Matt Damon is about to be “Bourne” again.

Universal will produce a fourth installment in the popular “The Bourne Identity” franchise, according to Variety.

Damon will return as superspy Jason Bourne, and Paul Greengrass (who directed “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “The Bourne Supremacy”) is also on board for the new film.

Universal had planned on stopping after “Ultimatum,” the third movie in the series, but decided to move forward with the fourth film after its predecessor grossed $227 million at the U.S. box office and $215 million overseas.

Damon, who last starred in “Ocean’s Thirteen” in 2007, will next be seen on the big screen in the crime drama “The Informant,” slated for a March 2009 release.

We cannot wait for this next film. Just leave the girlfriend out. She's DEAD!

Maybe Jennifer Aniston Didn't Know, But We Did...

Angelina Jolie has created quite a stir after the actress told the New York Times she and partner Brad Pitt fell in love on the set of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”

During a discussion over which of her films she lets the couple’s children see, Jolie told the New York Times, so far it’s just “Kung-Fu Panda,” but she noted she looked forward to the day when the kids can watch 2005’s “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”

“Not a lot of people get to see a movie where their parents fell in love,” Jolie said in article running in the Arts & Leisure section of the paper this Sunday

The quote, however, caused eyebrows to raise, as the movie actually began filming while Pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston.

Though Jolie’s latest remarks have drawn attention, in the past the actress hinted she grew close to Pitt on the set, but they just remained “very, very good friends,” until after his divorce from Aniston in 2005.

“And then we just continued to take time,” Jolie told People in 2006. “We remained very, very good friends — with this realization — for a long time… And then life developed in a way where we could be together, where it felt like something we would do, we should do.”

How is this news? 9 out of 10 people can probably pinpoint the exact scene in 'Mr & Mrs Smith' where you feel the need to turn to that movie-goer next to you and say...

"Yeah, they're fuckin'!"

Farrah Was In On It Too!

Ryan O'Neal and his son, Redmond, were charged Wednesday with possession of methamphetamine.

Both face felony drug possession charges, deputy district attorney James Garrison said. Redmond O'Neal, 23, also faces misdemeanor charges for possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of pepper spray.

He and his 67-year-old actor father are scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 13.


The father and son were arrested Sept. 17 after deputies searched their Malibu home, part of Redmond's probation. Police said drugs were found on Redmond and in Ryan O'Neal's living area.

Ryan O'Neal's attorney said the drugs did not belong to his client.

"It's unfortunate because Ryan O'Neal didn't possess methamphetamine, doesn't use methamphetamine and it wasn't his methamphetamine," attorney Mark Werksman said. "He never should have been prosecuted for this. We intend to vigorously challenge these charges in court, where they should be dismissed."

This is THE most fucked up family in Hollywood!

Colin: You WERE High

While a sex tape with Playboy bunny Nicole Narain may have bolstered Colin Farrell's bad boy image when it leaked in 2005, the Irish actor told the BBC's Jonathan Ross he learned his lesson after bringing the case to court.

"At the end of the deposition ... the man in charge said, 'I hope you've learned your lesson, Mr. Farrell,' and I said, 'Absolutely, next time I'll take the tape with me,'" the actor told Ross.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time," he added.

Farrell, who also spoke out in the interview about his years of drug and alcohol abuse, says he may have been under the influence when he filmed what he called "an expensive 14 minutes."

"I think I was high," he said, worrying what would've happened if his mother had stumbled upon it. "God forbid, she'd tell me something like, 'Oh you remind me of your father at certain angles.'"

But making the tape wasn't all bad for the "Pride and Glory" star.

"I might've got some of my better reviews," he laughed.

Heauxz, if you are going to make a sex tape, be sure to have a safe deposit box!!

Natural Born Triplets

Forgive Kerry and Desmond Lyons if they sometimes mix up their sons' names. After all, they're brand new and look alike.

The rare set of identical triplets conceived without fertility treatments left a Manhattan hospital Tuesday for their suburban home.

Tiny newborns Kevin, Declan and Cormac Lyons rolled out of NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center in style, wearing matching blue hats, asleep in a stroller that looked something like a stretch limo.


We would congratulate the couple, but that sounds like reverse child abuse to us.

Say goodbye to sleep!!!

Smell Like Halle

Ignore the slight wonk eye in this picture. We did!


Halle Berry will release her signature perfume via Coty this spring, called "Halle by Halle Berry," following some 24 months of experimentation to develop the perfect scent.

"We call 'Halle' my second baby because that's really all I've been working on for the past two years," the Oscar winner and mom of 7-month-old Nahla tells People.com. "I was mixing two fragrances, a fig and a mimosa, and putting them in a bottle and carrying them around. That was my flavor of the moment."

Berry added that her boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubry, has given his stamp of approval to the winning concoction.

"I want women to feel that their partners, that special person, thinks they smell beautiful, thinks that it's simple enough that they can ingest it all day, every day," she said. "That's what Gabriel said. He said it smells like that - he better be right!"

The market may be overflowing these days with celebrity scents, but Berry tells Access Hollywood that it doesn't concern her in the least.

"In this industry, I have learned early on not to feel a sense of competition," she said. "I run my race looking forward with blinders on. You can never compare yourself to somebody else. Somebody else's success is theirs."

Madonna : Sticky & Single Tour

Pop star Madonna and Guy Ritchie, her film director husband, are planning to divorce, British reports said Wednesday.

"Despite huge attempts to patch things up they both knew deep down that divorce was on the cards. It wasn't a matter of 'if' but 'when'," a "highly-placed source" told The Sun tabloid.

Sky News and The Daily Mail also reported the split. The reports quoted unnamed sources and could not be immediately confirmed.

The Sun's show business editor, Gordon Smart, told Sky News that a statement confirming the split was expected in the next few days.


Madonna, 50, has been married to the 40-year-old Ritchie for eight years. For Hollywood, that's damn near forever!

"It's very sad. They were a great couple and brilliant parents. They just couldn't live together any more," The Sun quoted the source as saying.

Together the couple has a 7-year-old son, Rocco, and adopted son David, 2, in addition to Madonna's daughter Lourdes, 12.

Rumors of marital difficulties have plagued the couple for years. In July, when the wife of New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez filed for divorce, she blamed Madonna for the split. Rodriguez and Madonna denied any romantic relationship.

Madonna is currently on a "Sticky and Sweet" world concert tour, which is scheduled to end later this year. Ritchie's latest crime film, "RocknRolla," had its U.S. premier earlier this month.

Now Madonna and her enlarged clitoris are free to roam the streets in search of new prey.

Watch out, men!!

Janet Flees Troll

Gossip blogger Janet Charlton claims that Janet Jackson has been resting up in a "health spa recovery place" in Atlanta while recovering from the illness that has caused several cancellations on her Rock Witchu tour.

Charlton also claims that Jackson's boyfriend, music mogul Jermaine Dupri, has been banned from visiting her by her management.

"Jermaine was told 'You're not her boyfriend any more,'" Charlton wrote on her blog Tuesday. "Jermaine took off for New York and he and Janet are speaking on the phone. Where their relationship stands, no one knows for sure."

Jackson was scheduled to resume her tour Monday night at the Turning Stone Resort in New York after canceling a show over the weekend in Connecticut. A message posted on the resort and casino's Web site stated the show had been canceled due to "doctor's orders."


Meanwhile, as far Janet's concert schedule is concerned, yesterday, EUR received an email from her publicist, Kitara Garner, of W&W PR, saying the tour was back on starting tonight in Washington, DC.

It seems that the initial report of her suffering from vertigo was indeed correct and the cause of her concert cancelling problems.

Best wishes to Janet and hopefully, she will make a full recovery, which will help her to flee even further from her treasure troll.

Bring Dan Rather Back!

Dan Rather believes the last presidential debate put many Americans to sleep.

The former CBS News anchorman said the formats for the debates are so restrictive that it's tough to really call them debates. He blamed the campaigns for having too much influence in setting up the rules.

"These so-called debates are not for the people, by the people," Rather said Tuesday at a conference on media and politics sponsored by CNN and Time magazine. "They are for the parties, by the parties."

Rather's one-time competitor, Tom Brokaw, was moderator of the second presidential debate between John McCain and Barack Obama. His former CBS News colleague Bob Schieffer is moderating the final debate Wednesday in suburban New York.

The 77-year-old Rather — who's suing CBS for $70 million, claiming the network removed him from the "CBS Evening News" and gave him little to do in the wake of a discredited report about President Bush's Vietnam-era military service — called it "standard procedure" for political campaigns to criticize the media when there are issues they don't want to discuss, and most of the time it doesn't work.


We here at Society Sex hope Rather receives the $70 million and then some. Shame on CBS for tainting his legacy with such tactics.

We smell Bushfire!

Anne's a Lesbo Anyway!

Anne Hathaway's ex-boyfriend is asking a court to sentence him to three years in prison, rather than the more than four years he agreed to when he admitted scamming the Catholic Church.

Raffaello Follieri's lawyer said in papers submitted to a Manhattan federal court Tuesday that the Italian businessman had good intentions when he created a company to buy church property at cheap prices.

Attorney Flora Edwards says Follieri "became intoxicated with it all" after he found himself socializing with some of the world's wealthiest and most successful people.

She says he succumbed to the temptation of misusing other people's money because he lacked the resources to live his friends' opulent lifestyle.

Stealing from The Vatican?

That's a sure-fire way to a direct trip to hell!

Burn, burn, burn!!!

LaBelle Is Back!!

Move over, wanna be divas. There are some real badasses back in the game!

70s rock-soul-funk' trio Labelle is ready for the spotlight again, this time the divas are ready to rock fans and newcomers with the likes of Lenny Kravitz.

"I really didn't know if we still had the vocal power," LaBelle says. "But after we did the first song, I knew we were still some hot mamas."

Best-known for the 1974 No. 1 R&B and pop hit "Lady Marmalade," Patti LaBelle, Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash return October 21 with their long-awaited reunion album, "Back to Now" (Verve).

With 10 new songs on the album, "Back To Now" features Cole Porter, Wyclef Jean (who is featured on the lead single "Roll Out") and production by Lenny Kravitz.

Labelle also re-united with Gamble & Huff, who signed the trio to their Philadelphia International label in the '80s.

Adding a contemporary vibe without taking away from the funkiness that longtime fans remember, all three women co-wrote tracks on the album featuring Patti Labelle's soaring sass, Nona Hendryx's rock-edged stance and Sara Dash's earthy accents.

"Labelle was a group that set your mind, spirit, body and soul free," Hendryx says of the group's legacy.

"We're 60 years young and still willing to go to the edge."

And Tina Turner is back too? This is the real deal right here!!

M.I.A. - Sperm Recipient

British rapper M.I.A., whose sampled voice is the chorus of radio's hottest single "Swagga Like Us," has confirmed that she is pregnant with her first child.

"I'm creating a baby," the 31-year-old singer told Pitchfork Media.

The news follows success of her biggest single to date, "Paper Planes," which received a sales boost with its presence in the trailer for "Pineapple Express."


"When I found out I was pregnant and 'Paper Planes' was in the iTunes top 10, it seemed like the whole world was reshuffled in one week, and all my plans went out the window," the artist said. "I've got two kids, that's what it feels like. And that's the lesson – you can't make plans."

She and fiancé Ben Brewer, lead singer and guitarist of The Exit, kept the due date and the baby's sex a secret, but they made sure their fans knew they are serious about having a child.

"I got engaged first, then I got pregnant, kids," M.I.A. said.

"Swagga Like Us," featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z and T.I., is crafted around M.I.A.'s line "no one on the corner has swagger like us" from "Paper Planes." It was released last month as the first single from Jay-Z's 11th studio album "The Blueprint 3" and also appears on T.I.'s sixth studio album, "Paper Trail."



Congrats to the couple. Let's give this kid a normal name, eh?!

Jessica Simpson: Knock Me Up, Tony!

As a quarterback, Tony Romo directs the actions of 10 men on the field, which perhaps could be good preparation if he and girlfriend Jessica Simpson ever decide to start a family.

Why?

Because she recently revealed she's hoping for a hefty amount of offspring.


"I'd love six kids running around, but I guess I'll have to start pretty soon," she told Australia's Daily Telegraph in an interview to promote her new country album "Do You Know."

Though she's been booed by the fans of Romo's team, the Dallas Cowboys, and been on the receiving end of jibes from his teammates, Simpson is thrilled to be romantically involved with the quarterback.

"It's a beautiful relationship," she told the paper. "He's everything I could dream of and I really love him. I'm proud to be his girlfriend."

And Simpson has no qualms about sharing her love for the football player with the world.

"Even if things don't work out between Tony and me — though, knock on wood, I believe they will — I don't regret anything I've ever said," she noted. "That's just how I love. I'm all in and I live one moment at a time. If I'm happy, I'll talk about being happy. Maybe I do talk too much, but I still feel as if I'm holding back.

One thing Simpson isn't holding back about is her excitement over little sister Ashlee Simpson's pregnancy. Ashlee is due to give birth to her child with husband, Pete Wentz, later this year.

"I already feel as if I'm an aunt because I talk to that baby all the time," Simpson said. "I'm really close to my sister and since she's pregnant right now, she's always around, which is great."

In the interview, Simpson also addressed questions of her show "Newlyweds," which she starred in alongside Nick Lachey.


"I don't regret the show or my marriage. Not at all," she said. "It made me who I am. I admit I'm a ditz and I've had my moments; I'm the first one to walk onstage, trip up in front of thousands of people and split my pants, but I don't take myself too seriously."

But now at 28, Simpson said she doesn't always look back with rose-colored glasses.

"I do look back on that girl and go, 'Oh Lord, she had a lot of growing up to do,'" she said.


People this retarded should be banned for procreating.

Dakota Fanning: Future Bitch of America

File this under the inevitable backlash category: child star Dakota Fanning is being branded a diva by Rowan Woods, the director of her upcoming film, "Winged Creatures."

"She initially refused to come out of her trailer on day one of shooting because her scene wasn't filmed first," Woods told Live News. "She is a gorgeous girl … but she was a disaster," he said. "Most of our work was cutting her scenes and a lot of her scenes were cut."

Diva school training now...rehab soon to come.

The countdown begins NOW

Paula, Shut Up & Cash Your Checks!

It's not news that Cowell makes some serious coin — he's been ranked in Forbes — but the approximately $22,000 per minute (according to Lythgoe's calculations) that Cowell earns has fellow "Idol" judge Paula Abdul especially angry. Rumors put Abdul's salary at closer to $5 to $8 million per season.

"Paula knew that Simon was getting paid more, but she never imagined it was this much more," says a source who works with Abdul. "This could really put her in a bad way."

If that sounds like it doesn't bode well for those on the show who must deal with Abdul, well, that's because it doesn't.


As for why there's such a salary discrepancy, Lythgoe told an Australian newspaper it's because "it is believed (Cowell) brings more to the table."

The only thing Paula brings to the table are prescription drugs, liquor, and possibly a sack of weed,

Not that we're complaining!

Star Jones: Still Bitter

In the November issue of Essence magazine, Star Jones opens up about her final days on ABC's "The View," saying of her former co-hosts "Those girls were hateful."

Regarding her infamous dispute with co-host/producer Barbara Walters preceding her 2006 departure, Jones adds "Barbara set me up."

Jones also talks to Essence about "falling into a depression" after losing her self-titled Court TV show last year; and her divorce from Al Reynolds, which was finalized in September.

As for Reynolds' YouTube video in which he admits that he "still loves" Star, Jones responds: "I'm not in love with him."

Jones, currently in negotiations to make a non-scripted TV comeback, has been photographed with rumored new flame Herb Wilson, an executive chef. Choosing not to address the relationship directly, she tells the magazine: "I want to fall in love again. I'm ready to love 24/7. I want happiness."

Below is the footage where she announced her departure. We suspect she wanted to slap all of them with her pimp hand!

The Dollar Is Dead!

A watched clock never moves — unless it's the National Debt Clock.

In fact, the digital counter has been moving so much that it recently ran out of digits to display the ballooning figure: $10,150,603,734,720, or roughly $10.2 trillion, as of Saturday afternoon.

The clock was put up by the late real estate mogul Seymour Durst in 1989 when the U.S. government's debt was a mere $2.7 trillion, and was even turned off during the 1990s when the debt decreased.

It will be replaced in 2009 with a new clock, said Jordan Barowitz, a spokesman for the Durst Organization. The new clock will be able to track debt up to a quadrillion dollars, which is a '1' followed by 15 zeros.

In the meantime, the '1' from "$10.2" has been moved left to the LCD square once occupied solely by the digital dollar sign. A non-digital, improvised dollar sign has been pasted next to the '1.'

The current clock had enough digits to measure the amount of money owed by the U.S. government until debt recently hit $10 trillion. Since then, more eyes have been on the fixture near touristy Times Square.


Below the amount of the national debt on the clock is another row of figures: "YOUR Family share." As of Saturday afternoon, the $86,023 fit properly into the respective LCD squares.

Do NOT expect a check from us here at Society Sex. We live humbly on a meager diet of air and fabulousness!

Is This Skank Even Registered To Vote?!

Paris Hilton has some fashion advice for vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin: show some skin.

In the same tone as her FunnyOrDie.com response to John McCain's campaign ad, which pitted Barack Obama as the "biggest celebrity in the world" alongside a montage of footage featuring Britney Spears and the heiress, Hilton took on a host of presidential questions in the November issue of Harper's Bazaar.

"My advice to Sarah Palin is, you've got a hot bod; don't keep it to yourself," the heiress said. "Why wear a pantsuit when you can wear a swimsuit?"


Hilton, whose response to McCain's ad this past summer found her calling him an "old dude," and declaring her own intention to run thanks to her inclusion in his spot, once again declared that she would pick singer Rihanna as a running mate.

In the interview, Hilton also outlined her presidential platform, suggesting she will only wear American designers if elected, replace inaugural balls with Rock Band parties and hire a host of notables to various governmental posts.

"I won't have a cabinet; I will have a closet," she said. " A giant walk-in closet with all styles of advisers, like Michael Kors, Kanye West, Diane von Furstenberg, Naughty by Nature, Stephen Hawking, Madonna, Karl Lagerfeld, and, of course, (her Chihuahua) Tinkerbell."

But Hilton already has some stellar advice right now, thanks to FunnyOrDie.com and a new clip featuring former "West Wing" president Martin Sheen.

In the new clip, set at Paris' "pre-party for the party I'm throwing before the after-party," the heiress glammed up in a green strapless dress and a diamond necklace to speak with Sheen.


Clearly impressed, Sheen gave Hilton his blessing.

"I wouldn't worry about a thing — you're going to make a great fake president," he said, before the pair were interrupted by Martin's son, Charlie, who looked surprised to see his dad at a Hilton party.

Nevertheless, Hilton earned the younger Sheen's support as well.

"I'll make sure to fake vote for you," Charlie smiled before heading for the hot tub.


this has porn written all over it.

Sheen & Paris together?

We're gagging right now!

Carol Alt: Beaver Watch

Legendary supermodel Carol Alt will bare it all for the first time in a Playboy cover story, Access Hollywood has confirmed.

The 47-year-old brunette beauty, who battled it out in the boardroom on season one of Donald Trump's "Celebrity Apprentice" earlier this year, will pose nude for the magazine's December issue, a rep for the magazine told Access.

Alt, who credits adhering to a raw foods lifestyle for her physique, said she chose to do the shoot to spotlight the healthy eating program she has been a patron of for over a dozen years.


"I've done a lot of soul-searching about this and have spoken extensively with Playboy about it. They have been amazing to work with and are embracing this message that I want to get across, which is eat healthy, look healthy and be healthy," Alt said in an article for her Web site. "It doesn't matter what age you are. You can look sexy and feel great, and that doesn't have to be a gift only for the young. It can be a gift for any age, even the old (whatever that is nowadays)."

Alt rose to fame in the 1980s as a fashion model and later a Sports Illustrated cover star, but her Playboy appearance will be her first ever nude pictorial. And though she has been admired for her top shape for almost three decades, Alt said, those early men's magazine shoots were difficult.

"I've never been comfortable with my body," Alt said on her Web site. "When I had to pose for Sports Illustrated in a bathing suit at the age of 20, it was some of the most difficult work I ever did. I was always a heavy kid; my sister is a plus-size model; and it's not like I come from a long line of stick figures! I continuously battled with my weight! I always felt uncomfortable with my body — was very shy and really, rather conservative."

Alt, who has written several books on eating raw, said her food regime helped her achieve a body she was ready to show off.

We don't care how hot she is at 47, eating raw is NOT int he cards for us.

Meat is IN!

Not Even Trying? Silly Heaux!

Victoria Beckham already has three kids with husband David Beckham and despite her recent obsession with certain foods, the 34-year-old mother says she's not trying to get pregnant — at least not right now.

Beckham told the U.K. edition of Glamour that she's become obsessed with grapes, but says her new fruit fancy is not a pregnancy craving.

"I'm not pregnant, and I'm not trying to get pregnant at the moment," she told the November issue of the mag. "I'm so lucky to have the boys (Brooklyn, 9; Romeo, 6; and Cruz, 3) and they're such great kids. Nice, free spirits and incredibly polite, which I think is very important."


The singer-turned-fashion designer says she sees the Beckham clan expanding in the future, but for now, she's more than happy with everything she has.


She probably looks pregnant after eating a grape anyway.

But feel free to slap her if you see her on the streets. When you are married to someone that looks like that, you try to get pregnant every goddamn night.

Every night!!!!!

That's Why Lisa Marie Was So Fat!!!

A publicist says the 40-year-old singer gave birth Tuesday to twin girls, whose names were not released. One baby weighed 5 pounds, 15 ounces and the other came in at 5 pounds and 2 ounces.

A statement released Saturday says Presley gave birth by Caesarean section. She lives in the Los Angeles area and the publicist says the births took place somewhere on the West Coast but won't provide details.


The statement says "babies and mom are happy and healthy and resting at home."

Presley is the only child of Elvis Presley and is married to music producer Michael Lockwood. She has a 19-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son by a previous marriage.


Congrats to Lisa Marie and the twins.

Maybe now her chi-chis and gut will subside!

Palin's Been a VERY Bad Girl!!

Yeah, I know it's Tina Fey, but whatevs....

Sarah Palin unlawfully abused her power as governor by trying to have her former brother-in-law fired as a state trooper, the chief investigator of an Alaska legislative panel concluded Friday. The politically charged inquiry imperiled her reputation as a reformer on John McCain's Republican ticket.

Investigator Stephen Branchflower, in a report to a bipartisan panel that looked into the matter, found Palin in violation of a state ethics law that prohibits public officials from using their office for personal gain.


Branchflower said Palin violated a statute of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Lawmakers don't have the authority to sanction her for such a violation, and they gave no indication they would take any action against her.

Under Alaska law, it is up to the state's Personnel Board — which is conducting its own investigation into the matter — to decide whether Palin violated state law and, if so, must refer it to the Senate president for disciplinary action. Violations also carry a possible fine of up to $5,000.

We always knew Palin was a bad girl with a good hemline. And we still have two more weeks to see how dirty she truly is.

Let the dust bowl begin!!!

We're All Too Old To Care Now!

More than a decade after its conception, Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" will finally see the light of day before year's end, sources close to the situation told Billboard.

The set will be a Best Buy exclusive and will be available Sunday, Nov. 23, rather than the usual Tuesday.

In the run-up to release date, album track "Shackler's Revenge" will debut in the video game "Rock Band 2," while a portion of "If the World" is playing over the end credits in the new Leonardo DiCaprio/Russell Crowe film "Body of Lies."

In addition, GNR's seminal 1987 full-length debut, "Appetite for Destruction," will be reissued on vinyl on October 28 via Interscope.

The band's last new studio albums were the simultaneously released "Use Your Illusion I" and "Use Your Illusion II" in September 1991. A covers set, "The Spaghetti Incident?," followed in 1993, and featured some of the last GNR recordings from original guitarist Slash and bassist Duff McKagan.

This spring, soft drink manufacturer Dr Pepper offered to send a free can of the beverage to "everyone in America" (excluding ex-GNR members Slash and Buckethead) if "Chinese Democracy" were to arrive anytime during the calendar year 2008. A Dr Pepper spokesperson was not immediately available for comment.

Does anyone even care enough now to purchase this album ten years int he making? Are they even relevant anymore?!
