Uncontacted Amazonian Tribe

This tribe has never had contact with the outside world.

I suppose VH-1 is going to approach them for a reality show.

Looks like they are pointing a bow and arrow over the plane/helicopter.

Protestors at Fulman University stood in the back as President Bush addressed graduates. I'm guessing Bush's advice was to be born into a rich family.

I'm surprised they didn't get tackled, maced and lasered. And then tickled until they pee'd.

Sharon Stone's Comments

You've probably heard about Sharon Stone's comments about the Chinese earthquake being karma for what the chinese government has been doing to Tibet.

I'd be curious who she thinks is to blame for Hurricane Katrina.

Dior has since dropped Sharon Stone from their ads.

Sharon says "no one should be unkind to anyone else" I bet a few movie P.A.s are getting a kick out of that quote.

Batman Got Milk Ad

I would guess Christian Bale didn't dig doing this cheesy ad.

Lost Finale- A Bit Gilligan's Island

Returning back to the island? Isn't that how Gilligan and pals got in trouble again?
If the Lost producers want to really mix it up, get the Globetrotters to go back with Jack and crew.

I am too tired to discuss more now.
Although I will say that I think Locke will come back alive when they return to the island. I mean, if they can make a island disappear, why not?

Oh, and Jack's fake beard annoys.

Seattle Mariners Kick Out Lesbians

What is the world coming two, when lesbians can't share a moment over some garlic fries at the ballgame.

Seattle’s KOMO TV reports a pair of women were ejected from a Mariners game for kissing. Each other. Said item doesn’t specify whether the game was Eric Bedard’s gem Wednesday against Boston, but presumably the below incident happened recently.

Sirbrina Guerrero says she only gave her date a peck, but a mother sitting with her son complained to security and, as a result, they were told to stop or leave.

“And he (the security guard) goes ‘there’s a lady whose son says he saw you guys making out, and I did, too. And you have to stop.’ And I said ‘well, we weren’t making out, but we were kissing and I’m not going to stop,’” said Guerrero.

Guerrero says the only reason she was called out was because of her sexual orientation.

Cosby Sweaters For Sale

I can't believe he still has them!

Cosby's daughter, Evin, said her mother and father were cleaning out a closet recently when they came across a batch of the sweaters her dad wore when he played Huxtable on NBC's "The Cosby Show" from 1984 to 1992.

"I pounced on these sweaters," she said Thursday, adding she figured they could help a charity named for her brother, Ennis, raise a substantial amount of money.

Now three of them are going up for sale on eBay, with the proceeds earmarked for the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation.

The auction is scheduled for June 2-12, with minimum bids set at $5,000.

News That Will Blow Your Mind- Clay To Be a Daddy

Clay Aiken is expanding the ranks of the Claynation by one, expecting a child with music producer Jaymes Foster this summer.

And now you're wondering...is Jaymes a man or woman?

The sister of music kingpin David Foster, the baby mama is a Grammy winner who worked with Aiken on several albums, including A Thousand Different Ways and his most recent release, On My Way Here.

Ok, it's a woman. Are they an item?

A rep for David Foster confirmed what TMZ first reported this morning, that the couple conceived via artificial insemination and their progeny is due in August.

Ah, got it.

This Scarf is So 80's

I'm offended because it's ugly! And because Dunkin is using her as a spokesperson.

Rachael Ray's Dunkin ad got pulled because of the scarf (its like what terrorists wear according to some conservative pundit).

We wore those scarves in the 80's.

No More Clooney Headlines That Say: Hey Ladies, George is Single

I love this cat.
That look is such a cat look. Just can't be bothered.

Although, now that I read the story of the cat, Tama, I hope that cat is not sedated and is free to roam. Apparently a Japanese train station has the cat as a mascot to draw in visitors.

RIP Sydney Pollack

The director of Out of Africa and Tootsie, and Will's dad on Will and Grace, died at the age of 73. He was recently in the fabulous movie Michael Clayton.

Noted in his bio is that he worked with Anthony Minghella on independent movies. Minghella died earlier this year.

Portable Stripper Poles

According to People, Carmen Electra is

releasing her own new line of portable stripper poles so ladies can get a work out Carmen style. "They're so much fun," she says. "I actually put one up in my living room with the help of a girlfriend."

Well then how are they portable if she had to have help putting one up? Wouldn't that be a regular pole?

Saving Puerto Rico's Dogs

Steve McGarva was on Ellen's show discussing his efforts to help Puerto Rico's dogs- he went to go surfing on his first day in Puerto Rico and found a dog near death lying on the beach. Turns out the locals call it Dead Dog Beach as that is where people abandon their dogs.

Steve works with a charity called Island Dog, that helps the dogs, spays and neuters dogs, and teaches the local children about compassion towards animals. Steve didn't mention this on Ellen's show, but the Island Dog web site said he left Puerto Rico because of death threats. Nice.

You Know You're Going to Watch Denise Richards' Reality Show

Especially with quotes like this:

Richards claims the [sperm donation] e-mails sent to Mueller were fakes: "I don't want Charlie's prostitute-tranny-infested sperm. I have two beautiful kids. We'll leave it at that. I am so over him. He's the one who can't move on. He's disgusting and he's hit an all-time low."

Or this:

"Last week, I sent Charlie a text message asking him if he's going to Family Day [for daughter Sam's school] and letting him know Sam was sick with a cold," Richards said. "His response was, 'I hope you and your worthless retarded father get cancer and join your stupid mom. Rot in hell you [bleeping] whore.' My mom died of cancer. This is what I deal with on a weekly basis. [...]

That should be on a Hallmark card.

It airs on E! this weekend. (no doubt rerunning it so much, that those of you busy bees will see it at some point)

McCain on Ellen's Show

Grandpa McCain went on Ellen's show today. She let him know what she thought about his stance on gay marriage (he thinks legal document is ok, but not marriage). You could tell Ellen was trying to be calm but was frustrated.

Why would she want to change the mind of a 70 yr old? They are stubborn.

What People Are Searching For Right Now

-All things Kennedy and cancer are top searches following the news that Ted Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor.
-JM Barrie, the Peter Pan author. (Not sure why people are searching him.)
-Mike Piazza, retires from baseball.
-Former American Idol contestant from this year, Luke Menard, has cancer.
-For some reason the word "sperm" is the 89th searched term. Seems pretty general, not sure what specifics the searchers are looking for.

Shania Twain and Mutt Divorcing

The odd pairing of Shania Twain and reclusive producer Mutt Lange is coming to an end, and some say it's another woman that is the problem. Mutt says it's not true.

But sources close to the situation say a third party was involved: Marie-Anne Thiébaud, a longtime secretary and manager of the couple’s chateau in Switzerland. "Mutt and Marie-Anne left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship," says one source.

10 Second Review- Indiana Jones

I got to see an early showing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The review:
Not bad. Lots of action scenes. It's probably meant for teenagers, so keep that in mind. The crystal skull explanation and history lessons hurt my head.

'My Son is Gay' Mom is Back

Duran Duran Concert

I love me some Duran Duran, but I am having the same problem with their new music as I am Madonna. And coincidentally enough they both used Justin Timberlake. The music is just ok, somewhat uninspired. That would be fine (just won't buy it), if they didn't play so many of their new songs at their recent concert in Seattle.

It didn't help that the WaMu Center charges $8 for a Bud or Coors beer. I refused and then gave the poor woman pouring the drinks my rant. Now I know why when we were searched entering the facility the guy asked if I had an alcohol. I was puzzled and gave him a surprised look. I am now on a mission for the cell phone flask my co-worker told me about.

We had good seats, but my sister and I had to put napkins in our ears for the opening band! Ha. We are old.

DD started their concert with three new songs. When their fourth song, Hungry Like the Wolf, started, you could see Simon look defeated as the crowd erupted. He is stuck singing that song forever and he knows it.

Disposable Income: Do I Buy Madonna's New CD?

I love Madonna, and I like all her CDs, even American Life. But with everything costing so much these days, do I really want to buy Madonna's new CD, Hard Candy, that has maybe 3 good-ish songs?

Candy Shop has a Prince-esque funky beat, but after awhile of singing along I get annoyed with the elementary school repeat after me chorus:

I'll be your one stop (one stop)
Candy shop (candy shop)
Everything (everything)
that i got (that I got)

4 Minutes has a catchy beat, but I take it too literally- these two (her and Justin Timberlake) are going to save the world? What, with botox and beatboxing?

Perhaps I'm too crabby, and should revisit the CD at a later time.

Sellout: Clorox's Bees

I was bummed to learn that Burt's Bees, makers of natural products, was bought by Clorox for $913 million. One of the owners (and ex-lover of Burt) got $300 million, Burt got $4 million, although, it sounds like he was bought out years ago. Burt lives in a chicken coop. The confusing story here

Another sellout: Tom's of Maine.
84% of company sold to Colgate-Palmolive for $100 million.

The Body Shop was bought by Loreal in 2006.

Suck It: Sex and the City Trailer

Have you seen the SATC trailer where the 4 are drinking cosmos and Miranda says "why did we ever stop drinking these?" and Carrie says "because everyone else did".
(Of course, I can't find the clip anywhere.)

If the PR team is smart they pulled the clips from commercials. Why alienate your fans with such a bitchy comment?

When I was little, we watched Laverne and Shirley, and wanted to try the Pepsi and milk concoction that Laverne drank. It was ok, a bit like a root beer float if I remember correctly. Anyways, imagine if Laverne got all bitchy one day and said she was not drinking Pepsi and milk anymore because people were copying her. I would've hoped Boo Boo kitty karate chopped her in her sleep.

At the SATC premiere in London:

Cannes

Love love love the color of the dress. No likey Brad's hair. They are there for Angelina's animated move Kung Fu Panda. Didn't Cannes used to be about serious film?

New Starbucks Logo Brings Out the Kooks

A Christian group in San Diego called The Resistance is offended by the new logo and wants consumers to boycott or complain to the Seattle-based coffee chain.

In the article, MSNBC mistakenly refers to the logo as a mermaid, which it is not. A mermaid has one tail. This is a twin-tailed siren (ok, I did have to wikipedia the official name, but I knew it wasn't a mermaid).

Hilarious quote:

"Seattle is known for people who like the peace pipe and this looks like the work of someone smoking some while watching 'A Fish Called Wanda' in the Pink Taco Restaurant," said Jason Rose, president of Scottsdale-based Rose & Allyn Public Relations.
Uh, Mr. Rose, there isn't a Pink Taco restaurant in Seattle.

No One Cares About Speed Racer

The anime-inspired race movie edged into the No. 2 spot with $20.2 million, slightly ahead of the 20th Century Fox comedy "What Happens in Vegas," which debuted at $20 million.

"Our tracking was stalled toward the end," said Dan Fellman, president of Warner Bros. theatrical distribution, about market surveys before the "Speed Racer" opening.

Fellman added "Speed Racer" would have difficulty recouping its $120 million budget.

"Unfortunately it didn't perform to our expectations," he said.

Survivor Finale

Yes, I am still watching Survivor. The last few have been pretty good (for a reality show). The men seem to be dips, falling for the women's scheming. The feather-haired young guy (forgot his name) gave up his individual immunity to Natalie. Thus, the dumbest move ever made in Survivor. I half think he did that just to be in Survivor history. Granted, for being an dumb. But maybe he doesn't care.

Finale is tonight. My prediction- Amanda will win.

Still Waiting...

Getting computer fixed.
Haven't missed not reporting on dumb celebs.
