Lisa Rinna Tries to Tell Howard Her Lips Are Real

Lisa Rinna is in denial about how bad her fake lips are. When Howard Stern asked if they are her real lips she dances around the subject.

When asked if she had anything injected into her lip she said "No". Well, obviously she has had an implant. So then Howard finally asks "Has any procedure been done to your lips". Then she gets quiet.

Howard's producers finally bring in an old photo of Lisa and show Howard. Duh.



Howard then plays some clips of her on the red carpet at SAG. She doesn't really know what she is doing. Casey Affleck is kinda adorable. Is that weird to say?

DGA Awards Video

I got so excited when I saw there was video of Sean Young heckling Julian Schnabel, but alas, you just see him. And while he is a very well composed person, I really wanted a shot of Sean slurring, perhaps with some hand gestures.

Kicked Out of the DGA Awards

I know I've posted twice about it, but I just love it.

Didn't she put a headless doll on James Woods' doorstep? I am vaguely remembering some story of when they worked together.

Grandpa Wins Florida, So Does "The B*tch"

...a reference to a McCain supporter calling Hillary a b*tch. Personally, I think there are worse things that a presidential candidate can be than a b*tch. War monger, uncompassionate, liar, slow responder to people drowning in their homes. You get the idea.

Giuliani's plan to sit out of the other primaries and focus on Florida didn't turn out well. He came in third, and is expected to drop out.

Why so glum, W?

What Did Chili Do Before the Superbowl?

I have seen so many shows, ads, articles on chili for the Superbowl. I didn't know a hearty meal of beans was such a favorite for a three hour game. Nachos must be sad.

Sean Young Enters Rehab


Please let this be taped for Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

"Actress Sean Young voluntarily admitted herself yesterday to a rehabilitation center for treatment related to alcoholism," a statement from Insignia PR said Tuesday. "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."

But she's become more famous for some of her more bizarre behavior, including dressing up in a homemade cat suit in her quest to secure the role of Catwoman in the 1992 sequel "Batman Returns," which went to Michelle Pfeiffer.

She also tried to crash the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2006.

"It was degrading," she said in an Entertainment Weekly article last year. "But when you have nothing to lose, it's really not that big of a deal."



This is probably all part of her plan. Get back in the news, get a reality show, something. That's how it is in Hollywood. Let's face it, she's on the road to Sally Kirkland crazy red carpet poses and that's it.

SAG

As expected, No Country For Old Men won for ensemble, and supporting actor (Javier Bardiem). Josh Brolin spoke and sounded annoying. When the red carpet interviewer asked Woody "who he was wearing" he said he didn't know, it was a suit he got from a movie. I'm going to guess it's from The People Vs. Larry Flint.

Brolin talked slow and wasn't making much sense. The prompter was trying to get him to hurry up.

Angelina's Baggy Dress Keeps 'Em Guessing

I guess there has been speculation that Angelina is pregnant, and that the dress she wore at the SAG awards is proof. I would love it if she was just wearing this to mess with people.

Trying For a Comeback

Didn't the Backstreet Boys just try to have an album and/or concert and it wasn't very successful? I guess New Kids on the Block are going to hope their boy band fans will want them to reunite.

NKOTB, as they call themselves, have sold 50-70 million records. That's about the same or a little bit more than Pearl Jam!

Christian Brando Dies

Christian Brando, seen here with his dad in 1990 while on trial, died of pneumonia at the age of 49.

Christian went to jail for killing his sister's boyfriend, was involved with Bonnie Lee Bakely (who claimed he was the father of her child, but later determined it was Robert Blake's child), and was charged with spousal abuse. He was one of nine children that are listed in Marlon Brando's will.

John Ritter's Family Sues For More Money

Already awarded $14 million, John Ritter's family is suing for what they think his potential earnings would be, since he was on a new tv show.

Story here

In the Interest of Fair Blogging...

I'll post this gem:

Mitt- Who Let the Dogs Out

More like "who put their dog on the roof of their car". That was you, Mitt.

In my opinion, Mitt has no compassion or ability to have empathy. He thinks drug companies should do what they want since it's a free market. He ignored a person in a wheelchair asking him about medical marijuana. He put his dog on top of his car while driving long distances. He believes in magic underwear. He is scary.

It's About Time!

Project Runway- The Choice Was Obvious

Victorya's coat dress thing looked like she took a jean jacket and attached a skirt. The fuzzy football I made in Home Ec took longer to make.


We knew from the editing that Ricky was going to win, right?


Christian made super tight jeans.


Rami made a cute dress.


Sweet P's dress was well sewn, but a little too 80's office-wear for a Levi's competition.


Chris' outfits always have a little Dynasty look to them.


Jillian has to let go of the Road Warrior look.

Headcase

Headcase is a new show, on Starz. It's only 15 min. long, some new format? I just stumbled upon it and thought it was funny.

Political This N That

John 'The Hair' Edwards on Letterman tonight.

Can someone explain to me why he isn't higher in the polls? I don't know much about his politics, but he seems intent on helping the middle class.

I think the last debate helped him, what with Hillary and Barack bickering. I did like Barack's response about if Bill Clinton was the first black president "I'd have to see his dancing...to know if he's a brother".


Remember when candidates used to lie about marijuana use? Now it's cool (note Edwards says he has tried it):


I just saw a clip that Barack would not prosecute people for medical marijuana, "it's not a good use of our resources". Well said.

What do we think of his dancing? I think he kept it reserved on purpose. Let's hope! I'm not sure if I'd be happy if he just whipped out the Running Man or flipped Ellen around and mimic slapped her a**. Ok the Running Man is at least 10 yrs old, but you know what I mean.



Maybe I'll choose which candidate I like from watching You Tube clips.

RIP Heath Ledger

I disagree with the NY police announcing what was found near the actor, and I think no one should speculate what caused his death until the autopsy. Very very sad.
