Merry Christmas

Whatever is beautiful. Whatever fulfills you, challenges you, thrills you, warms you on a cold day or cools you on a hot day. Comfort and Peace. Joy and Love. These are my wishes for us all.

(And Happy Chanukah)

This puss gives me hope.

Why? This is very plain jane black cat, Tommaso, just inherited $95m when his owner died. If such a run of the mill pussy can do so good, there's hope for someone like me. (Hint, hint, write me into your will.)

True Blood Exclusive: Chris Meloni Circling Major Season 5 Role as [Spoiler Alert]

That noise you hear is the sound of Twitter exploding into a million little pieces over the following news: Chris Meloni is being courted to join the cast of True Blood.

Take a deep breath and continue reading…

TVLine has learned exclusively that the former Law & Order: SVU front man is circling what my sources are calling a “major role” in the show’s upcoming fifth season.

But what role? An HBO rep declined to comment, but I hear Meloni — who’s currently shooting a top-secret role in The Man of Steel — is in talks to play (duh) an incredibly powerful vampire.

If a deal comes to pass, this would be a major casting coup for True Blood. It would also mark a high-profile return to the small screen for Meloni following his sudden departure from SVU last spring.

The holidays have begun. Hold onto your hat (and your wallet.)

Joe Paterno Sold His House To His Wife For $1 Before Sandusky Scandal Broke

http://www.thesuperficial.com/joe-paterno-sold-house-wife-one-dollar-sandusky-scandal-11-2011

Why? Because he knows that he will be inundated with law suits. He had better sell her the furniture and a car too, or they'll be eating off of a wooden crate with newspapers for seats and riding a bicycle.

Big Deal

Kendall Jenner received a $90,000 car for her 16th birthday present from her totally functional family. Big deal. I got a car for my 16th birthday too. So OK. It didn't cost $90,000. And OK, it was entirely imaginary. But it's the same thing.

My question is, what are they going to get her in the future? I think they should buy her her own country when she turns 18, because no one here will be able to stand her.

Andy Rooney passes on

I think Michael K of DListed says it best:

"Goodnight, Sweet Grouchy Ass Prince

I don't know how you fly your eyebrows at half-staff, but we should all find a way, because an iconic pair attached to a cranky poet and legendary American curmudgeon has gone off to the great big messy office in the sky where all the mixed nuts are whole and all the water is slutty. Andy Rooney's angel wing brows have spread and he has flown up to the afterworld, while complaining the entire way, at the age of 92. Andy died in a NYC hospital last night from complications following a minor surgery. Andy semi-retired 6 weeks ago after giving his 1,097th and final verbal bitch slap to America on 60 Minutes.

As a cranky bitch who can't wait until I truly have no more fucks to give, this wraps the sads around my heart. One of my rituals every Sunday before Amazing Race was to watch Andy complain about some shit I didn't even know was possible for people to complain about. I mean, he moaned and bitched about coins! Sometimes Andy was right. Sometimes Andy was wrong. Sometimes Andy said some crazy shit. Sometimes Andy made sense. But throughout all of that Andy continued to have no spare fucks to give about what you thought about his complaining. For that, I thank Andy! And now I leave you with a few quotes from one of the great American grouches:

'I didn't get old on purpose, it just happened. If you're lucky, it could happen to you.'

'The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.'

'Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.'

'Death is a distant rumor to the young.'

Rest in peace, Andy. We'll pour one out for you today and then wave our fists while complaining about the mess we made."

What do you think?

Harrison Ford in his Halloween costume, obviously wearing a banana hammock under it all. What do you think? I'd say the face may have fallen but the goods seem to be holding up pretty substantially.

Did the ground shake?

Yes, it happened. ItsTish and WaitingforGodot, aka TT and Teddy, finally met and exchanged some spit. And how did it go? Well, more to follow soon, but let's just say that Tish now knows Teddy's underwear size.

This one has something for everyone

A cute puppy and a shirtless man. That's some guy named Trevor Donovan on 90210. Whatever.

Zachary Quinto, I salute you

Congrats to Zachary Quinto for having the courage to defy the so called Hollywood wisdom by coming out as a gay man, and in such an offhand, classy way. Referring to some of the issues of the day he simply prefixed his remarks with, "As a gay man..."

Bibby reforms blog comments?

Dear Ted:Seriously, Ted, your boards have gone to hell. Just give the idiot Twilight-Robsten fans one board every day where they can go and fight with each other and slam any actress who is not Kristen Stewart and just give the rest of us one board that is sane. You obviously don't care enough about your readers to honestly monitor your comments section because if you did, you would see the obvious spammers. Either that or make them register.—JDear Spam Alert:I know that the spammers are annoying you; they annoy me, too. But shouldn't obnoxious people have the same rights as us? You don't agree? Fine. The boards are in the midst of an entire makeover. Stay tuned.Read more: http://www.eonline.com/news/the_awful_truth/morning_mail_where_does_dreamy_jake/269133#ixzz1agI1AFDeI wonder what those reforms will be? I posted the first comment this morning saying, "The board are in the midst of an entire makeover." That's about a year too late for many long time readers.But guess what. My comment is gone. Probably flagged by one of the twit hags who rule the comments.

Jake is getting kinda beefy and not in a good way

Steve Jobs, got the job done

"Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose." Steve Jobs

Look carefully

I saw this pic yesterday and it confused me. You know how women lie about their age, weight, and dress size? I have a friend in the film industry who says that it is not uncommon for actresses to not only remove the dresses tags on their clothes that give the size, but to then replace them with a tag with a much smaller clothing size. What a lot of trouble. But, she says that kind of thing is sacrosanct to actresses. So what is the male equivalent? It's height. George Clooney lists his height as 5'10-3/4." Pretty precise. And I believe it, because, frankly, I can see him not giving a damn. Ryan Gosling, however, is listed as 6' 1". Of course the real test of height is when people stand next to each other...allowing for things like lifts, something Tom Cruise relies heavily upon. But lifts are not only pretty easy to spot, they are ridiculous. George Clooney make himself ridiculous? I don't think so. So sorry for everyone having problems commenting. What a bitch. If it's any comfort, this isn't formatting the way I typed it.

I refuse

The trailer and poster for the movie "The Human Centipede II" is out. I refuse to click on either even for an instant. Some people seem to think that something can be so degraded and gross as to be fascinating. Not in this case. Not for me.

Motherhood. Ain't it grand?

9-11-2001 Ten Years

It's been 10 years come Sunday. I'm sure we have a lot of memories. I remember when Jon Stewart put his show back on the air he said, "There's only so long you can hide under your desk, sucking your thumb and crying."

I remember I was home, trying to log onto my office server to check my orders. It couldn't get a connection and the last time that had happened there had been a disaster, so I turned on the TV news. The first plane had already hit and the second struck the other tower as I watched live. I sat sobbing in my chair when the first tower collapsed and then the second one did too. I remember thinking I should try to call my daughter who had just moved from NY to Philadelphia two weeks before with her fiance. I knew all of her friends still lived in NY and that he had worked in the Towers. But I didn't have the courage until that night. "Elizabeth," I asked her, "do you realize you probably saved Darren's life when you convinced him to go back to school and move to Pennsylvania?" "It's barely left my mind," she answered. He's now the father of their two children, my two beautiful grandchildren.

I was listening to two Chicago FBI agents being interviewed this morning on public radio. They talked about being sent to the crash scene in Pennsylvania and since the other crash sites were physically impenetrable, they became the lead for clues. They found the passport and check book of the terrorist pilot almost immediately, completely readable. And then they talked about picking up human remains. "We had to remain emotionally unattached. Too much depended upon us being clear headed. But after a few days we looked up at the ridge and the family members of those who had died were up there watching us. The entire site fell silent for a moment. After they left we found the area littered with momentos the families had left, pictures and letters, and we could hardly bear it. But we had to return to the site, the families deserved it and the country depended up it."

Press hysteria

Here's my favorite headline about Reese's bumpy with a car.

Is Reese Witherspoon an Extreme Exerciser?

After those pix with her in a bikini from Hawaii, I'd guess not.

And here's my favorite chicken little piece.

Witherspoon vs car a lesson for all

A morning jog almost ended in the loss of one of America’s sweethearts- Reese Witherspoon. This seems like an isolated incident, but it could be a starting trend if people are not careful.

The “Walk the Line” star was taken down by an 84-year old woman at 20 miles per hour while on her morning jog in Santa Monica. Seems like an innocent mistake? Wrong.

Reese is not the only female celebrity jogger in danger of a painful metal battering ram. Or any jogger in fact. Earlier this summer a 64-year-old woman was hit and killed by a 20-year-old driver. No age gap is safe.

Witherspoon is not the only celebrity fitness junky that is in danger of car-on-movie star violence. This list of sweaty stars are a target for suburban near-death experiences.

Earlier this summer a woman was killed by a driver some where in America. It's an epidemic! That's never happened before. Wrap up all of our celebrities in cotton wool.

By the way, Reese sustained a quarter size abrasion to her face. And this is the week of the 10th anniversary of 9-11. 'Nough said.

Oh, Johnny, I hardly know ya

This is Johnny Depp last night at the GQ Man of the Year thingee. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS FACE?!?

Michael Fassbender in Shame

So Michael Fassbender has a new movie just being shown at the Venice Film Festival called Shame. One of the movie critics wrote briefly after seeing the film, "I can now draw Michael Fassbender's pubic hair from memory." Full frontal, and lots of it. “Driven by a brilliant, ferocious performance by Michael Fassbender, Shame is a real walk on the wild side, a scorching look at a case of sexual addiction that’s as all-encompassing as a craving for drugs,” THR reports.

http://dlisted.com/2011/08/29/presented-almost-without-comment-michele-bachmann-asks-real-questions

Please listen to Michelle Bachman here. But maybe you should tie your jaw shut so that it doesn't hit the table. What happened to the founding principles of our nation, separation of church and state? This is just the kind of crap that initiated those principles.

Teddy says , "Hi!"

He has joined a team at his job, and he's the only man on his team. He says all the women have adopted him, giving him rides to and from work, and offering to take him places. He's even getting up early to join one at breakfast. Does anyone have Rick's phone number?

Teddy wants me to tell y'all that he called me his first night in Illinois to ask me to call him at 6am the next morning to wake him up as his alarm didn't seem to be working. I was just getting ready to drive my grand to school the following morning, 7:15, when I remembered to call Teddy. He answered the phone with, "Good job, Tish." You will have to imagine the sarcastic southern drawl. Well, we live to please. And he got that alarm fixed, by god.

Les Miserables

Too bad Teddy is off-line now. But on the chance he has a computer moment, I wanted to post this:

Emma Watson in Les Misérables?
[Tom] Hooper has been casting his musical over the summer and already has the considerable coups of [Hugh] Jackman as Jean Valjean, the escaped and reformed prisoner who is struggling to survive during the French revolution and with Master & Commander and A Beautiful Mind co-stars Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany both battling over the role of Inspector Javert, Valjean’s arch nemesis. That movie was being setup for a February 2012 start date but Universal really believe in the film and are pushing for it to shoot this fall so it can hit the Awards season of next year.

Casting is getting aggressive and industry tracking site It’s On The Grid report that Hayden Panettiere, Miranda Cosgrove, Lucy Hale and Emma Watson are being courted for Eponine and Cosette with Amy Adams and Rebecca Hall wanted for Fantine.

Oscar nominated King’s Speech actors Geoffrey Rush (as Thenardier) and Helena Bonham Carter (as Madame Thenardierare) are also in early talks to re-team with Hooper for the musical.

I know Hugh And Helen can sing, I just hope the rest of them can too.

WELCOME!

We welcome a new member to our little family. Judes' new baby, looking all judgmental yet tolerant and loving.

New Blind Vice from Gossip Boy

Wednesday, August 24, 2011
Meet Donny DivaSmith
Donny DivaSmith is a well known actor who has spread his wings throughout Hollywood for years. He started out as a charmer to work with. Very polite and respectful, just like his mama raised him to be. And that is what got him the attention of the ladies on the sets.

Donny loved the ladies, but he had no idea how to work them. Talk about embarrassing, this poor guy once turned to ice when a stunning A list woman introduced herself. After that failure, a co-star of his took DDS under his playboy wing and schooled the actor on how to date in HW.


The plan backfired in my eyes because soon DDS became our generations Casanova, putting guys like Colin Farrell to shame. DDS then realized he could have everything he wanted, exactly how he wanted it. His OCD seems to have kicked in because his friends say that he began demanding things on set be a certain way or else he walked off. One day he proved his point, holding up filming because his water was kept in a cooler directly with the ice instead of being stored in an air tight sealed bag to keep the "ice germs" from contaminating the bottle of water.

He has begun to demand that his conquests shower completely before they have sex and allow him to manicure their lawn. He feels that the germs could possibly hurt his award winning member. He recently tried that with a female co-star,who laughed her ass of while she got dressed and left.

His current co-stars have had it with his ridiculous requests and time consuming rants that they have begun to tamper with his trailer. Hope he gets a new toothbrush soon. Then again, he is so clean, how dirty could his toilet have really been?

It's Not:
Alexander Skarsgard
Ryan Gosling
Ryan Reynolds

Any blind vices about this?

It's being reported today that Will & Jada have separated. Aw shucks. See, having sex in every room in your house, the green room of every interview show, AND your friends houses during visits, doesn't buy domestic bliss.

I'm surprised since I don't think they had what one might call a conventional marriage and seemed to have fallen in a routine of covering up for one another.

P.S. Our fearless leader is presently without a computer and until he gets a laptop and has the time to get on line, we will have to do this without w4g.

What? What's this I hear?

A little birdy....OK it was a great big Teddy Bear...told me that someone dear to us is (temporarily) moving to Illinois, Downer's Grove, for a contract job. NOT a hand job, NOT a blow job, a contract job.

Gotta get this party started.

Welcome back, Roc!

I'm glad whatever issues you had that were keeping you off the blog cleared up.

Oh, Jake

Yesterday I shared with you what Reese is looking like post-Jake and here's Jake post- Reese & Taylor. Hopefully it's only this role that requires Jakey to look like a schlub.

Seriously?

E! posted the following blurb next to this recent pic of Reese:

"When you look this good, forget the line and walk the beach instead.

Reese Witherspoon showed off her sexy self over the weekend by way of a two-piece bikini while vacationing in Hawaii with her two children and new hubby, Jim Toth.

But it wasn't just the Oscar winner's cute curves that were on display as she enjoyed a little fun in the sun.

Reese also offered up a much better glimpse than the one we got over the Fourth of July weekend of her new tummy tattoo.

Yup. When it comes to hot bods, this Election star definitely gets our vote!"

You should know that many if not most of E!'s lead talent is repped by Jim Toth, Reese's husband. I cannot think of any other reason anyone would seriously say Reese looks "good," "sexy," "cute, and, "hot" here.

As for me, it's well known I don't like this chick so, yes, I rather enjoy the picture. I think she looks as bad as her disposition.

Bert & Ernie are NOT gay

(from Movieline.com) In the grand tradition of the Tinky Winky Teletuby who was constantly dogged by speculation that he is gay, fellow pre-school characters Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street too have been battling rumors that they're a closeted gay couple. The chatter picked up tremendously in the past few weeks with online petitions asking for the two roommates to get married, prompting the producers of the PBS children's series to issue the following very awkward statement:

“Bert and Ernie are best friends. They were created to teach preschoolers that people can be good friends with those who are very different from themselves. Even though they are identified as male characters and possess many human traits and characteristics (as most Sesame Street Muppets do), they remain puppets, and do not have a sexual orientation.”

Is outing a form a gay bashing?

http://www.gaelick.com/2011/08/have-the-ethics-of-outing-changed/17315/

Ellen Page was outed recently. The author of the post said that she should be outed because although she openly supports gay rights she remains in the closet. Wha? So one can not support gay rights without being outed? Only heteros need apply? Something wrong with that thinking.

Good-bye for now Chloe - R.I.P.

The Rainbow Bridge inspired by a Norse legend By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill, Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, When their time on earth is over and done. For here, between this world and the next, Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they play, Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day. No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued. They romp through the grass, without even a care, Until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack. For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again, both person and pet. So they run to each other, these friends from long past, The time of their parting is over at last. The sadness they felt while they were apart, Has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.

Sailing upon the Sea Organization

I read today that the Scientology Celebrity Center in LA celebrated its 42 anniversary this weekend. Remember a while back when Bibby had a survey asking what fact about a celeb would turn you away from them with no hope of redemption. I'm sorry to say that some people said, "Being a Scientologist." I'm sorry, because I didn't think of it myself. Although I think someone can drink or do drugs and get cleaned up...crack up and be rehabilitated...cheat on their significant other and find loyal happiness in another relationship...neglect their kids and live to regret it...I think that anyone who remains in the cult that is called the Church of Scientology is too whack to EVER take seriously.

Here are some celebs who you may or may not know are Scientologists:

Jerry Seinfeld - although he denies it, he DOES admit, "I took a couple courses a number of years ago that I thought were fabulous. I learned a lot and I had a good experience with it. I think the stuff I learned there really did help me a lot."

Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith - also deny it, but have founded a private elementary school, which their children attend whenever they bother to go to school, based on Scientology principles.

Sony Bono - OK, technically he's dead. But at the time of his death he had been a practitioner for a while. "I Got You Babe," takes on a whole new meaning. Mimi Rogers, Tom Cruise's first wife introduced Sony to the "religion" and she also converted Tom. Mimi has a lot to answer for.

Nancy Cartwright - the voice of Bart Simpson. So, yes, Bart is a Scientologist.

Isaac Hayes - also dead. But can you believe he was a Scientologist? Believe.

Greta Van Susteren - Fox commentator. I never liked this chick and now I know why.

Beck - He's a second generation whacko. His mother was the midwife at the birth of another Scientologist, Giovanni Ribisi (and his twin sister.)

Charles Manson - actually, I'm cheating. Although CM studied Scientology in his youth, he found it too bizarre and left before he founded his murderous cult.

Time, you Thief, you Robber, you Despoiler of Youth

Harrison Ford this week, looking half bald, tired, and slumped. Also here's Harrison Ford of an earlier time in all of his craggy glory, spitting at Father Time and giving us all that half smile. WHAAAA! (runs away sobbing)

Dream Baby

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNymGv5MktY



Are our dreams our fantasies or just random shit? Do our dreams speak to us or only babble nonsense? Lots of scientific stuff written about it, but I remain unconvinced that our dreams are anything other than an outlet for all the information that slams into us day in and day out mixed together with our emotions.

I rarely remember dreams. Sometimes I wake up with an image or a thought but it quickly disappears. Now DAYdreams, that's another story. I daydream aaaaallll the time, creating little stories that accompany me as I go about my day. I've always done it, even as a young child. It's just part of my DNA. I daydream about meeting all of you, that's for sure.

say good-bye to itsjake (aka its tish)

it appears that this blog is dying a slow death so i'm puttin' it to sleep...please say your good-byes and express your condolences.

and thank you all for being a part of this blog.

"best new movie in town" Roger Ebert

We're talking about "Terry. " If I wasn't such a neophyte I'd add a link to the trailer. But look it up. It's about a high school kid who is an outsider. Every one of my closest friends describe themselves as outsiders in high school, or at the very least, "weird." Let's hear it for high school outsiders. Seriously, lets hear from you.

Report: Olivia Wilde And Jake Gyllenhaal Get Touchy-Feely

Tron's Olivia Wilde and the extremely sexy Jake Gyllenhaal are hooking up, according to online reports.
Reports claim the two stars were seen getting "touchy-feely" while hanging at Hollywood hot spot Chateau Marmont. Witnesses say although the two "weren't making a scene with PDA," there was definitely "flirting going on."
The eyewitness adds that at one point, Jake had Olivia's hand. What a hot visual!
Reps for both actors would not confirm nor deny the report.
