Hanging Chaz

2011-09-07T08:20:00.000-07:00

Much is being made about Chaz Bono dancing his way onto national TV, but why? Because he's dancing with a girl? Because he is formerly a she? Because he still partially is genetically a 'she'? What's the problem?

So many questions, my head is spinning.

I highly doubt that a family show on a family network is going to go into specifics on his gender transition, just as they didn't go into specifics on Kim Kardashian being famous for a sex tape or Kendra Wilkinson posing nude for Playboy and banging Grandpa Hef. But wait, those things seem to be OK with the American Public - we've made celebutards out of these no-talents.

So why is everyone in such an uproar? Most kids aren't going to know anything about the boy formerly known as Chastity. And the ones who do know something will see a man dancing with a woman. What's so wrong with that?

In a country that's afraid to even talk to their kids about sex, Everything is wrong with that. It takes sex out of the strip clubs and off the internet and puts it square in our living rooms. God forbid! We're a country of gun-toting, guts-splashing, CG unreality that can't deal with human sexuality, especially if it's something we don't understand. Violence, blood and war are OK on our television, but for fucks sake, no tits during the Superbowl! Keep those things under wraps, where our sex lives are!!

Talking to your kids about issues such as these shouldn't be any different than talking to them about different cultures. LGBT isn't a "Lifestyle", it's a Culture. It's a People, the same as any other People. In a world full of differences, this is one of them. So why not speak to your children about it if they ask? Why not tell them the truth? What could possibly be wrong with explaining that, the reality of the world, we are all different?

Letting your children make up their minds for themselves without giving them guidance and perspective is perpetuating the ignorance. Kids don't understand most things until they are taught. Whether it's why their friend has a different skin colour or Johny plays with dolls. Kids don't know there are differences until the adults (and television) point them out. Then kids go to school and parrot what their parents and relatives say, teaching each other ignorance. Racism and Bigotry start at home, but so does Enlightenment and Encouragement.

Encourage your kids to embrace the differences this world has. Embrace different cultures, different peoples. We are in an enlightened age, enlighten yourself. Children come from nothing but love until they are taught to hate.

Chaz Bono is a hero. Being out there, in the public eye and embracing who he is meant to be is amazing. He is a teacher, learn from him. If your children ask, be honest with them. Hopefully you will have a meaningful exchange, and perhaps even learn a little more about your own prejudices and insecurities.

The world has not stopped turning because Chaz Bono is on TV.

The Revolution Will Be Televised.

'I met the singer “Adele” at Beyonce’s concert. Her voice absolutely kills me. I can’t stop listening to her album. She is a great talent and so young. She was lovely in person.' ~Tom Ford via Facebook

I love how he put quotation marks around "Adele", as if he didn't believe that was her real name.

Cock Tease

2009-08-13T07:32:00.000-07:00

Video has surfaced of a luscious 19 year-old Channing Tatum 'working his way through college', or whatever excuse strippers use.

Hot and Delicious

Sadly, I'm beginning to question his gayness - he dances like a straight white boy.

Sonia From The Block

2009-08-13T07:19:00.000-07:00

The other Puerto Rican girl from the Bronx, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, has been sworn in to the Supreme Court.

JLo had two roads to choose from - Judge or Other.

Who am I kidding, she didn't have a choice.

Blonde Kitty

2009-08-13T07:02:00.000-07:00

If Cher and Rumer Willis were to have a baby (it's not so far-fetched, see next post!) it would look like a blond Kat Von D.

Yeah, in days of yore this little Kitty would've been stuffed into a burlap sack and tossed into a river.

Single Fathers

2009-08-13T06:43:00.000-07:00

Just in time for the new season to begin, the other Kardashian brother, I mean sister Kourtney has announced she is pregnant.

Pregnant? Really??

Of course she isn’t telling who the father is, but why doesn’t that surprise.

Maybe it’s an itty bitty Seacrest Spawn – that would totally make sense to me. She’s so big – he’s so little. Supposedly he has a penis – supposedly she doesn’t. You know.

A big cast change for this new season – Kim’s Ass will only be making special appearances. If you miss it, you can always watch the tape that made it famous. Rumours are Ray Jay will even send you an autographed copy for $25

Wonder how that Thomas Beatie is making out.

She's Not Me

2009-08-13T06:32:00.001-07:00

Guy Ritchie supposedly has a new lady - 26 year-old Mellany Gandara.

Hmm.... she looks a little creepy-alien.

Mellany isn't even in the same league as 22 year-old Jesus Luz

Madge still wins!

Victor Webster (plays) Gay

2009-08-13T06:04:00.000-07:00

The new 90210 sucks, period.

So when I heard they were re-doing Melrose Place, I couldn't help but sigh and wonder how could they rape my childhood and give birth to these mutant babies? Just another reason to be pro-choice.

but wait - now I am hearing the hottie Victor Webster is going to be on Melrose Place. You have my attention. AND, he's going to be playing a gay character (stretch) "Caleb Brewer (Webster) is described as openly gay, smokes cigars, likes the Lakers, collects sports memorabilia, drinks scotch and loves sex." Of course it's the CW, so I'm sure the "loves sex" will just be alluded to (but we got him court side at the Lakers kids!!)

Whatevs - Victor Webster is a hot hot hottie, and I'm glad to see him back on the boob (ahem) tube.

Cobra Starship @ the Troubadour

2009-08-12T07:33:00.000-07:00

Caught Cobra Starship at the Troubadour last night - really great show!

That Gabe is one hot piece of Sass!!

As was know, Leighton Meester didn't join for their top 10 hit 'Good Girls Go Bad'. There was supposed to be a surprise guest, Ashley Simpson Wentz, but she didn't show either. Probably didn't want another SNL moment.

The brilliant part was that Vicky T sang the female lead, and did it amazingly. I was glad to hear her voice.

Amazing show - highly recommend the Cobra Starship (and yes, I am a 12 year old girl!)

If only that Gabe would be my boo...

Girls, all he really wants is Girls

2009-08-11T06:36:00.000-07:00

Chace Crawford and Ashley Greene were seen tongue wrestling in a car at LAX.

Seems Chacey Boy must be taking a page out of Zaquisha's book - hook up with the girl who has nekkid pics on the internet, show what a cute little couple you are, squash those rumours (hopefully).

Don't worry Chace, we get it.

Good Girls?

2009-08-11T06:25:00.000-07:00

Leighton Meester was at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, wonder why she isn't performing the hit single "Good Girls Go Bad" tonight with Cobra Starship at the Troubadour?

I'm sure she has a very busy schedule, and it has absolutely nothing to do with having to actually sing live.

Cobra Starship will have a very special guest tonight singing with Vicky T on the "Good Girls Go Bad" track. If you don't have tix, too bad, it's been sold out for a month!

If you do have tix, see you there!!

Statistics

2009-08-11T06:15:00.000-07:00

Statistics say 1 out of every 3 men is gay.

The mind wobbles....

Hillary Dickory Dock

2009-08-11T05:55:00.000-07:00

"You want me to tell you what my husband thinks?"

“My husband is not the Secretary of State, I am.

“I am not going to be channelling my husband.”

That's Hillary Clinton, looking remarkably like Melissa Ethridge, snapping at a student during a Q&A when asked what her husband thought about an international financial matter.

That student later said he was actually asking what President Obama thought - perhaps there was confusion all the way around. Maybe the kid asked what the President thought, and Hillary, still holding the grudge that Billy Boy was President and she wasn't, snapped and went off on his ass. Realizing what she had done, she threw her title around. Then she went a little Shirley MacLaine.

The 3 faces of Eve, and none of them are pretty!

Friends Don't Let Friends

2009-08-09T17:17:00.000-07:00

The TCA press conference for Courteney Cox's Cougar Town must've been deja' vu for Cox as talk inevitably turned to Jennifer Anniston and whether she will be making an appearance on the ABC series.

Said Cox: "You know, she's a good friend and I know she loves the show. I'm not going to say she is [going to do it] because I don't know. [But if Bill Lawrence] writes her a character, I'm sure she'll be glad to do it."

Of course she 'loves the show' honey - would she really say anything else? "You're such a risk taker!"

Two questions -

1) Will the show make it past the first two airings to give Anniston a chance to guest star?

2) Which career is worse? Who would it benefit??

Kill it now.

Where's Rosie??

2009-08-09T17:05:00.000-07:00

Elisabitch Hasselbeck is continuing to build her super-race army. The smart one gave birth to another son today.

Good for her - she found something she's good at. Breeding the next wave of idiots to espouse 'love' and the 'good word'.

I know, it isn't the kids' fault. It's the parents.

Jumping The Snark

2009-08-09T16:44:00.001-07:00

Seriously, if the suits at ABC are going to make Ugly Betty into America Ferrera, what's the point?

No one wants to sympathize with the pretty girl who has problems - trust me, I know. I get none whatsoever!

Give Amanda her own show.

Spencer for Hire

2009-08-09T15:59:00.001-07:00

Why did she even lie about doing Playboy?

I'm glad to see it only took a few Benjamins to relieve Heidi Montag of that burden of Morals. That and a good smack from the svengali.

Why does she look like she went to a scat party in the grotto??

Spread 'Em

2009-08-09T15:49:00.001-07:00

I'm sorry Ashton - you know I have mad love for you.

But if you have to star in a movie with Anne Heche as your love interest, your career must be in the crapper.

Next time, just say NO

Or at least star in a movie called Spread that we can really get in to. (clears throat)

Dolly Molly

2009-08-09T15:31:00.000-07:00

Congratulations to Molly Ringwald and her hubba hubba hubby on their twins.

That's Molly Ringwald?! Where'd she get the money to do all that??

New Do

2009-08-09T15:27:00.000-07:00

Can I just say that Katharine McPhee's new look has me incredibly hot! Whatever she's selling, I'll take 3!!

Hope she still has her penis.

I kid.

Hi Everyone,

Well, it was a fantastic experience to play against Barcelona at the Rose Bowl in front of over 90,000 people. Although the final score wasn’t what we’d have liked I thought we played well against Barca and, obviously, I was delighted to score. I always try and work hard for the team, the manager and the fans, so I hope my goal and the team’s performance was enjoyed by them.

I was incredibly sad to hear of the passing of Sir Bobby Robson. Sir Bobby was always there for me with advice and he was a true gentleman. He will be truly missed not just by all the Geordies but by every person that has been touched by his magic. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

That’s all for now.

Take care,

David

NY Post Blind Item

2009-08-09T15:06:00.000-07:00

. . WHICH unmarried Hollywood couple have an open relationship? He's been sleeping with a much less attractive actress, but she prefers women anyway . . .

That reminds me, did you read today's Parade magazine?

Lohan Power

2009-08-09T14:56:00.000-07:00

Seems as though Mother of the Decade is realizing her meal ticket may be close to empty - the NY Post is reporting that Dina Lohan has pimped her two other spawn, Ali, 15, and her brother, Cody, 13 out to Z-Com-Verizon Wireless, a cellphone store at Parkway Plaza Shopping Center in Carle Place on Long Island, to host and spin records at the "first annual BlackBerry Brickbreaker Contest" on Aug. 22.

Host and Spin Records. Yummy. A funtastic day of JoBros and their ilk. Can't wait!

"In a breathless press release, the store hypes them as 'teenage celebrities,' identifying Ali as a pop star and "former Ford model" and Cody as a "New York State soccer youth champion" who's modeled for Nike. A rep refused to tell us what they're getting paid"

At least ol' Jamie Lynn is getting a break to raise her bastard child properly.

What ever happened to li'l Jamie Lynn y'all??

Gerbils In (his) Space

2009-07-24T13:22:00.001-07:00

Was that Lance Bass spotted in line for the midnight showing of G-Force??

Still trying to figure out a way to smuggle the gerbils into space without suffocating them on take off?

Reprimand

2009-07-23T22:18:00.000-07:00

I came home to a strongly worded fax from M (this is what we call her, and that's her passive aggressive way of having the upper hand, by faxing). It, I mean She doesn't appreciate me talking with li'l DB and sharing it. I should have cleared it with her. Furthermore, she's positive I misunderstood what he was saying.

First of all, it's not my fault your nannybot wasn't there to supervise. Why is the little one answering the phone anyway? I mean, really. Did you frighten off another phone answering slave?

Secondly, I've studied pings and clicks for several years. I probably understand him better than you do. Besides, if I never would've believed the story if I hadn't found your guy-stretched undies on ebay. Would you autograph them for me?

So, the next time M calls, tell her - I'm not here. In fact, if she calls - disconnect her.

Chat with Li'l David

2009-07-23T15:40:00.000-07:00

I phoned David Banda today - just to check in and see how things are going. It's been a while since we've talked, he's been rather busy, you know.

Talk turned to the divorce, how were they holding up I wondered. DB says great, it's much better now that they don't have to listen to them fight all the time. He firmly believes that buying Mercy was the final straw. That and Daddy was sick and tired of Mummy yelling at him in that fake Brit accent about how he needs to stop wearing her undies because his fat ass is stretching them all out of shape. "I mean, like, how do you stretch out a g-string?" Good question DB, good question.

Speaking of Mercy, I asked, how are they getting along? Is it nice having someone from his own background that he can hang out with and relate to? He told me that, in fact, they were nothing alike. I asked if she was there and he replied No - David told me, in a very jealousy way, that mummy takes her everywhere now so people can see them together and think she really cares, and he really really feels left out. It used to be him, but not anymore. He's thinking of telling the press he misses his real daddy just to piss It off. I tried to remind him it wasn't nice to refer to his mum as 'It' but he told me to fuck off and hung up on me.

Little turd.

Tween Redemption?

2008-12-18T06:28:00.000-08:00

Why the hell does the trailer for '24: Redemption' use a Jonas Brothers song? Do the Jack Bauer fans really listen to the Jonai? Are they marketing to the tween girls who aren't allowed to stay up that late? Or are they just retarded?

Independence Day

2008-07-07T08:15:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to your lives.

Coming back on this Monday, tired, sun-burned, possibly hung over. What are you thinking about? How much fun you had this weekend? The 4th of July fireworks? All the beer?

What about your independence?

The whole point of colonizing the new world was to get away from the tyranny and to seek religious freedom. Freedom to be who we want to be and not lose our heads over it.

We've come a long way since then. We've basically wiped out a race of people, the American Indian. We have taken the people that used to populate most of this country, the Mexicans, and shoved them out. Forcing them to sneak back in to what was originally theirs, and then treating them like second class citizens.

Our so-called fore-fathers brought a race of people to this country as slaves. They burned people who were thought to be different from them, and treated women as vessels for their spawn.

Much has changed since most of us have been on this planet. At least in the "Good ol' US of A." We no longer have slaves. Women are equal. Unfortunately racism still exists, but it is slowly being replaced with enlightened youth. We know that skin color has no bearing on who a person is. We are the supposed melting pot of the world. "Give us your poor, your tired, your ambition"

Why, then, is it so hard to believe that two women or two men love each other enough to want to marry? And why is it so difficult to jut let them be? Does it hurt you in any way?

This fight to have the constitution changed, thus breaking the separation of Church and State, is most definitely not what our fore-fathers had in mind. There was a reason the Church and the State were to be kept separate: to keep the small minded people from controlling the nation.

Are we truly independent of the very thing we left in the first place? Religious persecution, the right to be who we are?

We haven't come nearly as far as we'd like to think.

25 Live

2008-06-29T13:05:00.000-07:00

80's pop idols still make my cockles warm. I don't know what it is about them - is it the memories? The longing for a more innocent, sexually ambiguous time? Not that we were that innocent or ambiguous, mind you, we just used that to explore all of our options!

When I found out George Michael was touring again, I jumped for dolphin-shorted, Choose Life, day-glo joy. I knew it wouldn't be the same without Andrew lip-synching and air-guitaring his way through the groupies, but I had always liked Georgie boy a little better. I knew where the talent lie - and the homo!

Yes, baby, you are looking older. Your voice isn't as strong as it used to be, but you can sing the hell out of a song and still look like sex on a stick doing it.

My seats were awesome - close enough to gaze lovingly on his slightly over botoxed pop-idolness, but back far enough not to be clawed by the soccer moms reliving their first boning on the football field, Careless Whisper playing on the car radio, the quarterback promising his undying love, if only she just let him put the head in a little. He promised, only a little!

We all went crazy with each number - singing at the top of our lungs when Georgie declared he couldn't hit the high(?) notes anymore. We were actually singing a duet with George Michael! In front of thousands of people!! Could we get any luckier?

The answer to that would be a resounding YES! it seems little George saw Dr. Phil and his lovely wife in the audience, and proceeded to point them out to everyone. Through the BOOS of us all, George pointed out that Phil's wife seemed to be having a grand time (doing the lame white-girl dance I'm sure), but Phil seemed to be standing there like he couldn't wait to get the hell out and give himself an enema. Yes, kiddies, George Michael pulled the claws out and had some practice on the douchebag that is Dr. Phil. LOVED IT!!

Spotted being a dork and wearing sunglasses in the dark - Corey Feldman. I know, who is that, right?

After the show, we made our way back to the Forum Club. What a mess. I have to say, the minimum wage employees working at the Forum need to use their extra cash for night classes on etiquette and manners. These botched abortions shouldn't be let off probationary work detail. They shouldn't be around people, only on the sides of the freeways in orange vests.

Back to the back - as I'm getting my bearing, looking for another cocktail ($8 beers - marone!) I see this power lesbian walking towards me with the look of death on her face. I'm thinking to myself, I know her. Who is she? Did I piss her off somehow?? As she gets closer to me, I am starting to wonder what the hell she is going to do.

What she did was give me the look of death and kept on walking. As she passed, I notice two things.

One - she had a group of lesbians with her

Two - it was Sharon Stone.

Yes, I got the stink-eye from Sharon Stone and her pussy posse. What the hell??!!

Whatever - I'm out of money, out of beer, and outta here.

Thanks Shady!!
