MmmmmHmmmm. Here we GO, y'all. Elin's mama, Barbro Holmberg, a Swedish politician, has arrived in Florida to give her gorgeous daughter some moral and maternal support. Now we're hearing that Elin has left the house she and Tiger shared.
Elin Nordegren had enough and moved out of the $2.6 million Windermere home, neighbors and other sources close to Tiger, told RadarOnline.com exclusively. Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Elin is living nearby in another house.
Does it get any better than that? A song called Louboutins and she totally eats it? (It's at the 2:40 mark.) And don't get me started on that ghetto entrance of hers. Just DON'T.
I like to think of JLo's ass-fall as a metaphor for what she considers her "career".
Yeah. This BREAKING NEWS is coming as a big, fat NO SURPRISE.
via TheEnquirer.com (I KNOW, hush up...)
Mired in a sex scandal, the 62-year-old Late Show host is now living in his luxury loft in lower Manhattan, while his wife and son stay at his mansion in New York's swank Westchester County.
"Dave admitted he's sleeping in the city after Regina let him have it. He took a few days off from the show so they could try to work things out," divulged an insider at his CBS show. "But if anything, he may have made the situation worse.
"Regina demanded that he tell the complete truth about what he did with the women, but Dave hemmed and hawed.
"Now he's moved out of the house. He said Regina told him to 'get out' and that's exactly what he did!"
You know what? I'm having trouble watching Dave these days. If anyone, we'll watch Conan. I am actually feeling cringe-y when I see Dave now. Wow.
Shame on you, Dave. You broke Regina's heart. You are breaking Harry's heart. And you've broken mine.
Rihanna did women--most particularly young and possibly abused women-- PROUD last night on ABC's 20/20 with Diane Sawyer.
I've had a change of heart and thought regarding her timing of this interview. Let me explain.
Rihanna is still (rightfully) angry over the beating she endured at the hands of Chris Brown. Yes, she does have a new cd coming out in a matter of days, but so does Chris Brown. If and only if viewers (and cd buyers) have no conscience or compassion, they'll still buy his stupid cd. Rihanna was incredibly eloquent and forthcoming last night regarding that fateful evening in February, wherein she was left beaten, bitten, bloody and alone in a strange neighborhood. (Remember, that little pu$$y, Chris ran off after he did his number on her.) The timing of this interview is going to kick Chris Brown in the nuts and his bank account. Bravo. Seriously.
Once I listened to Rihanna thoughtfully explain what she went through over the weeks following the beating, I understand completely why she didn't hit the airwaves to talk about her troubling situation. I, like other bloggers (and the public at large) FORGET that celebrities are human beings. There is no way in hell I would've hopped onto Oprah's couch two weeks after being beaten up by a boyfriend. Would you?? I doubt it.
These past few months have given Rihanna distance from the situation, to some extent. I appreciate how she said that her wounds may have healed, but the flashbacks of the beating are always there, haunting her--and that remnant from the abuse never goes away. This is where Rihanna spoke to other young victims of abuse. She knows these girls look up to her.
I felt maternal and very, very proud listening to this young (and now stronger) woman speak to the entire world about the humiliation she suffered at the hands of the man (?) she thought she loved. AND she did it in front of the entire world.
The video of last night's 20/20 is on ABC.com if it's yanked from YouTube. If you missed it, I strongly suggest you watch it--and watch Rihanna. I believe Rihanna was completely sincere in every word she shared. She didn't simply bash Chris Brown. She spoke about her weakness, her embarrassment of the infamous photo being leaked, her father hitting her mother and the cycle of abuse that she witnessed. Rihanna has every reason to seem a bit hardened right now. The person she loved and trusted the most shattered her world. But I think she knows exactly what she wants--and doesn't want--in a relationship now.
I applaud Rihanna for not making the intervew a sugar-coated, puff piece made simply for ratings and cd sales.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on Rihanna and this interview.

What a DOLL Dionne Bromfield is...and she's Amy Winehouse's goddaughter. Dionne performed Mama Said on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing with Amy and her back-up singers.
Did I mention that Dionne is 13-years old? This sweet little girl has a VOICE...and doesn't have to use anyone's idea of (inappropriate) sex-appeal to sell her talent. Dionne looks so cute.
Seriously. Amy needs to make sure her game gets back on track...and I don't mean with the new boobies she just purchased. She went from a 32B to a 32D very recently. I think she should've rehearsed a bit more--her timing is off here, but really, it's ALL about Dionne.
OhgoodLord. I trotted around yesterday more than I have in ages. (Not counting chasing my MeatPie grandson around!) I needed to get me "some pretty" for my big "Taste and Tweet"at Icon Grill later in the evening.
James (and his assistant, Dante`--or Durwood, as James calls him) gave me some fierce hair yesterday. After all of the boys had a good, hard laugh (ahem) at my "peen thumb" they got down to business by making my head at least, live up to my screen name--DIVA. Oh, Sugardaddy's Salon, and I love my Boys!
Afterward, I drove like a nut into the city for April to work her magic on my eyelashes. I leave the Dina S. Good Salonfeeling so pretty every. Single. TIME. I cannot recommend her eyelash extensions enough. Worth every penny.
While we're on the subject of "worth every penny", y'all should know this: I do not get, nor do I expect free services from these hardworking artists. In this ecomony, it's important to keep these kinds of businesses IN business. I appreciate the lovely people who keep me looking good. So, given the fact that I am in no way compensated for my glowing reviews--rest assured that my opinions of these fabulous salons are from the heart...not the pocketbook.
Ever since the media's outrage regarding Serena Williams' rage (toward a line judge after what she felt was a bad call), I've sort of like her better. I know that sounds bad--but every time I see John McEnroe parodying his constant on-court temper tantrums in the NationalCar Rental commercials, it bugs me. Here we have yet another man being rewarded for his questionable behavior, while a strong woman was collectively reamed a new one by the media.
I do love that Serena's on the cover of ESPN's Body Issue. She looks strong, feminine and HAPPY. It's also cool that the editors didn't force her to make some dumb sexy face.
I tell ya what. I'd rather listen and see Kelly Clarkson and that powerful voice of hers any day over Mimoo Carey and all of her lame butterfly crap.
Oh my God, you guys. Did you see Mariah (and her little dog, too) on The View yesterday? She was promoting the following:
1.) The new movie Precious, where she plays a government case worker. She wore no make-up (or "they gave me under-eye circles and a slight mustache" -- uh huh. Suuuure they had to "give" 'em to you, Mimoo). She said she had to "come to terms with how she looked on film". (Side eye. Would Meryl say that?)
2.) Her new (yawwwnnn) cd.
3.) Her new fragrance--which Joy Behar shrieked, "DON'T SPRAY IT, MARIAH!" when Mimoo was showing the dirty masses (the viewers) how to use a bottle of cologne. I howled. Wow, is it that stinky?
It was a CRINGE-FEST on The View, y'all.
Oh, and Barbara Walters also got in a snide remark about her dog named ChaCha (the same name of Mariah's pup) NEVER peed on the dressing room carpet...like this dog did. I loved every bitchy moment of this segment.
And that Sherri Shephard gets on my last nerve. Never liked her, never will.
Hmmph.
So. The moral of the story is: Kelly Clarkson can SING, y'all. Listen to her cover Alanis and Kings of Leon. Tremendous!
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor Just wishing that I had just something you wore So bloody your hands on a cactus tree Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Yeah, I know. It's ghoulish. But there's something about those lyrics (written by Black Francis of the Pixies) that I find, well...romantic. I've been on a bit of a David Bowie bender of late. Watching The Hunger and his Storytellers on VH1 has brought back some great memories of seeing Mr. Bowie twice in concert.
I tell ya what...at 60 years of age, I still find him incredibly attractive. The way he moves, sounds and looks...come ON. I think maybe he really is a vampire. (I wish!)
via ONTD, Bowie's "A Reality Tour" was
"Recorded in Dublin, live versions span his entire career to-date, from "The Man Who Sold the World" (1971), "Changes" (1972), "Ziggy Stardust" (1972), "All the Young Dudes" (1972), "Rebel Rebel" (1974), "Fame" (1975)," "Heroes" (1977), "Ashes To Ashes" (1980), "Under Pressure" (1981), "I’m Afraid Of Americans" (1997), up through 10 songs from Heathen (2002) and Reality (2003) albums.
The lion’s share of songs that Bowie performed on A REALITY TOUR (and chose for release) were drawn from his two most recent albums at the time, 2002’s Heathen ( "Cactus" [written by Black Francis of the Pixies], "Sunday," "Slip Away," "Afraid," and "Heathen [The Rays]"), and 2003’s REALITY ("New Killer Star," "Reality," "The Loneliest Guy," "Never Get Old," and "Bring Me the Disco King," "Fall Dog Bombs The Moon").
In addition to Bowie, musicians on A REALITY TOUR include Gerry Leonard (band leader/guitar/vocals), Sterling Campbell (drums/vocals), Earl Slick (guitar), Gail Ann Dorsey (bass guitar/vocals), Catherine Russell (keyboards/vocals/percussion/guitar), and Mike Garson (keyboards). "
Speaking of Gail Ann Dorsey...I saw her perform with Bowie. Her vocal prowess on Under Pressure was breathtaking. (She sang Freddie Mercury's parts.) I love her look, her bald head and her voice is spectacular.
My favorite David Bowie album is Young Americans, and Fascination (written by Bowie and Luther Vandross) is, I think, my favorite song. That entire album hasn't aged one day since it was released in 1974.
Check this video out, from the old Dick Cavett Show. If you'll notice, the late, great Luther Vandross is singing backup. Awesome find, if I do say so.
I'm certainly taking the stroll down memory lane lately. Oh well...Bowie. Is. TIMELESS.
Shiloh (I mean JOHN from Peter Pan)--and "Z"had a trip to the local Toulon, France Toys R Us with Mummy and Pax yesterday. No, I'm not posting picture of Angie, all dressed in black, because it's all about these two.
Shiloh, Chaz Bono (mean!) John and Zahara are hilarious. Z is living up to her Naomi Campbell comparison by looking FEEEEEIRCE in that skirt and little top (and crankyface) and her little sister is being the imaginative dork (Z's word, not mine) that she is. She's still pulling the "My name is JOHN!!" silliness that I find adorable. She even has a sword, and it's probably real considering Mummy's fetish for knives.
I think I'd like to spend a day--wait, maybe a couple hours--okay, 30 minutes--in that household just to witness the chaos.
Finally. A real opportunity for me to talk about Jay Leno. 'Round these parts (my bedroom), he's referred to as The Lowest Common Denominator of Comedy. I can't even begin to tell y'all how truly unfunny I find The Chin of Late Night (now he's on at the nursing home hour of 10:00 p.m.).
So. Jay thinks he's going to pull the same schtick he did with tranny and hooker-lover Hugh Grant all those years ago, but with a complete a-hole who humiliated at 19-year old Taylor Swift l last night on the MTV VMAs. (High pitched voice and wink: "What the hell were you thinking?" HAR HAR HAR.)
Stupid move, Jay. No one wants to hear this dumbshit speak in CAPS LOCK.
I really have been trying to clean up my dirty mouth the past couple of months. Quite noble of me, yes? Well. That all went down the toilet last night after witnessing the biggest fucking asshole the recording industry has ever seen.
We've all seen the footage (shown below) of that little bitch Kanye West steal a wonderful moment of winning an MTV Video Music Award from Taylor Swift. (My hair is still on fire, by the way, and it smells awful.)
Here's The Asshole's half-ass apology on his CAPS LOCK BLOG. He apparently has since taken it down.
I'd love to hear your feelings on this piece of shit. I think you already know mine.
Y'all know I'll defend a bitch if I feel she's truly been smacked up (RIHANNA!)...I just don't feel this Little Tykes (Dykes?) Plastic Daycare Doll was ever telling the truth about Shawne Merriman "choking" her. (TMZ posted pictures of her purple eyeshadow "bruises" on her ARMS yesterday.)
Please check out what Wendie (the best writer on Evil Beet ) had to say about this whole made-up piece of Lie Cake: http://evilbeetgossip.film.com/2009/09/07/no-charges-filed-after-tila-tequilas-abuse-allegations/
"San Diego Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis will not be filing charges against Shawne Merriman of the Chargers. He was placed under citizen's arrest by Tila Tequila after he allegedly choked her and refused to let her to leave his apartment Sunday. Apparently no one bought it.. ESPN reports:
"After a thorough review of the investigation into the Sept. 6, 2009 incident at the Poway home of Shawne Merriman, our office has determined there is insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that any crime was committed. The case is now closed."
Way to set back the very serious issue of domestic violence back a million years, Dumbass. Women have a hard enough time coming forth with very real cases of having the shit beaten out of them without skanks filing false reports like Tila Tequila apparently has done.
I swore I'd never talk about her on this blog, but this issue needs to be noted.
If you or someone you know is being abused, please contact The National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1.800.799.SAFE (7233) 1.800.787.3224 (TTY) Anonymous & Confidential Help 24/7. Translaters are available.
I have a theory about Kate Gosselin. After she watched Jon talk crap about her on Primetime Live and GMA yesterday, she had to come out looking like, um, well, her version of Princess Diana.
Think back, y'all. Remember when Prince Charles went on the telly to blab about being in an adulterous relationship while married to the beloved Princess of Wales? Then Princess Diana immediately showed up to the Serpentine Gallery in London in what was jokingly called the "F$#k You Dress".
Poor Kate. Does she really think--for one second--that she's in the same categoryas Princess Diana???
These two buttholes make me wanna curse something fierce. Seems the naughty Gallagher brothers of Oasis have called it quits (again?).
via The Times Online (London):
"The Britpop pioneers Oasis have split up after Noel Gallagher, the lead guitarist and songwriter, said last night that he was quitting the group.
He and his brother Liam, the group’s lead singer, have long had a tempestuous relationship in the band, which released their first album 15 years ago and helped to lead the Britpop era in the mid-Nineties. It was this brotherly tension that reportedly led to the parting of ways.
Oasis had been due to perform at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris last night, but the crowd were told by Bloc Party, who were due to perform before Oasis, that the band would not be appearing.
Many of the crowd reportedly thought that the announcement was a joke until a message appeared on the big screens saying that Oasis would not be performing due to an “altercation within the band”.
The Scottish singer Amy Macdonald, who was playing in the festival last night, wrote on her Twitter page shortly after 9pm, “Oasis cancelled again with one minute to stage time! Liam smashed Noel’s guitar, huuuge fight!”
In an official statement on the band’s website, Noel, 42, wrote last night: “It’s with some sadness and great relief to tell you that I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.
In an interview with NME magazine this month, Liam was asked if he would oppose Noel taking time off from the band to pursue a solo career. He said: “If it makes him happy, yeah, if it makes him happy.
“If it was up to me I’d have six months off and then get straight back in the studio and make records. That’s what I’m in Oasis for. I’m not here to f***ing sit around for five years twiddling my thumbs.”
Liam, 36, had taken to his Twitter page earlier this week to dispel rumours that the band were due to split and to apologise to fans at the V Festival.
As well as paying tribute to the bands who covered Oasis’s slot and apologising for having “given you sh*t” in the past, Liam wrote: “Finally reports in smartarses column about Oasis last British gig ever. The kids talking out his arse, I mean rkids, bware of darkness. LG.”
Liam had revealed earlier this month that he and Noel were no longer on speaking terms and while on tour travelled separately, seeing each other only on stage.
Oasis came to national attention in 1994 with the release of their single Supersonic, which was followed by the album Live Forever, which reached No 1, later that year and (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? in 1995."
I've always referred to these two brats as "fighty-dogs"--you know, when doggies get up on their hind legs and "box" each other, but no one gets hurt? Oh, it sounds ferocious (aahhhhrrr, aahhhhrrr, SNORT!), but it's all in good fun. Having two adult sons of my own, I know how they will fight, then hang out, playing Nintendo like nothing ever happened.
I'm about to cross the pond to have a chat with the Gallagher boys. They both need a good smack on the back of the head, if you ask me.
