Palin Relaxing With Her Snuggie

Sarah Palin has written a book called Going Rogue.
It hits book stores today.
It’s being called a memoir of her life.

I’m sorry, a memoir? It’s not like she has this great history behind her life as a hockey Mom and ex Governor of Alaska. And certainly her political career has been beyond laughable.

So the question now is…
will Palin’s book end up on the bestseller list? Or go over like a fart in church?

Besides the obvious that will plague this book, (Palin’s lack of popularity) I read that her book was ghostwritten by Lynn Vincent. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!
Why you ask? Whos’ Lynn Vincent?

Lovely Lynn is not only the ghostwriter of Sarah’s book, she is pretty cozy with well known, white supremacist, Robert Stacy McCain (no relation to McCain the maverick) and she co-wrote a book with him. 

Some snippettes The First Post about Lynn and Robert Stacy McCain,

She (Lynn) is also staunchly anti-gay, backing the controversial vote to re-criminalise gay marriage in California, and – this is where Palin and her publishers might have drawn the line, but didn’t – she is closely associated with a well-known white supremacist.

He is Robert Stacey NcCain, a former editor at the Washington Times, a paper he left two years ago after a steaming row with a colleague.

Another Vincent collaboration was with a retired general, William Boykin, former head of the US Army’s Special Forces Command. He described his career mission as to defeat Satan in order to save America as a Christian country. “We are hated because we are a nation of believers,” he said.

“Defeat Satan to save America as a Christian country”?
Yikes! What year is this again?

As mentioned previously, Lynn is also a credited author on Robert Stacy McCain’s book, “Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party”. Again, just lovely.

According to a comment left on Little Green Footballs

After resigning as governor in late July, Palin spent most of August in San Diego working with Vincent on the book, “Going Rogue: An American Life.” Rumors swirled about Palin sightings at Vincent’s condo complex in north San Diego County. Palin reportedly was joined here by her family and top aide, Meghan Stapleton. This month, Palin huddled with her editors in New York.

So out of all the ghostwriters that Palin had to choose from, she picked Lynne Vincent? As always, Palin shows her brilliance. And to think that she ran for VP. *shudders*

What did Mark Halperin of Time have to say about Going Rogue?

Based on discussions with various sources who have seen or been briefed on the book’s contents, here’s what you can expect from “Going Rogue”:

* just five chapters—but they are very, very long.

* some score settling with McCain aides she believes ill-served her (names will be named).

* a hearty bashing of the national media.

* an account of how her upbringing shaped her maverick sensibilities.

* a testimonial to the importance of faith in her life.

* a warm and personal tone, written in Palin’s own voice, despite the involvement of a collaborator.

Two things not in the book:

* Don’t look for hefty policy prescriptions.

* Once source who has seen  “Going Rogue” says it does not include an index.  That would give Palin a subtle revenge on the party’s Washington establishment, whose members tend to flip to the back pages and scan for their own names. If they want to know what Sarah Palin has to say about them, they will have to buy the book—and read the whole thing.

Let’s recap, shall we?
She picked a ghostwriter who is anti gay, who is a creationist, and who has has teamed up with white supremacist Robert Stacy McCain.
There’s nothing in the book on policy. (well no surprise, she can’t write what she doesn’t know)
There are FIVE chapters in her book with NO index.
She bashes the media big time, even though they are the ones who put her on the map.
She throws people she once worked with under the bus, and adds a touch of holy rolling goodness.

WOW! COUNT ME OUT.

Now according to Comcast News,

Palin doesn’t elaborate on her book compensation, describing the $1.25 million figure only as a “retainer” that appears to be a reference to her lucrative advance.

So $1.25 big ones for a ghostwritten ”memior”?
Again… wow!

I think once the right wingers are done buying Palin’s crappy book, (Elisabeth Hasselback probably camped out at Barnes and Nobles last night) this book may be headed right for the bargain bin.

Although it would make quite the dandy door stop! Gotcha!

Demi Moore recently posed for the cover of W magazine.
WHY? Does anyone care?

What the hell is she wearing? This metallic swimsuit toga with epilettes reminds of something out of the movie Mad Max. Who picked out this silly frock?
And talk about smoke and mirrors! Her photo must of had to jump through hoops to achieve the more than obvious photo shop and airbrush -a-rama. If her name was not on the cover, I wouldn’t have known it was her.

There comes a time when someone should just accept that they are getting older, and stop trying to nip and tuck their way back to their youth. When everyone knows your age and they see little evidence of any aging, people just think it’s ridiculous and fake.

Although of course Demi, (make sure you pronounce it De-MEE, ick) completely denies that she has ever had any plastic surgery. Yeah, OK De-MEE. *laughs holding sides*

To make everyone really roll their eyes even more…
Apparently, Ms. Brat Pack has just announced that she would like to be called a puma rather than a cougar.

Bitch please… you are forty seven years old. Pumas are women in their thirties dating older men. Your barking up the wrong tree Ms. Hot Flash!

I never cared for Demi Moore. 
She is not that talented and completely full of herself. Top that off with her early interest in Scientology… and that really sealed the deal for me. Thank you Bruce Willis who had the common sense to put his foot down and say no to his kids being raised as Scientologists. Bravo Bruce!

But of course on the other hand, she is seen everywhere with that silly red Kabala string around her wrist. I guess they photo shopped it out of the pictures? 
Kutcher and her also got married by a Kabalah minister or whatever the heck. Silly celebutards. *Rolls eyes*

So on to her MUCH younger and prettier half, Ashton Kutcher.
Women are still crazy over him, and I think he was once perceived as a likable fun loving character. But now I think everyone just looks at him and thinks he is pretty much whipped by Demi and has lost totally his mojo. woo pah!

It seems that Ashton doesn’t do much of anything any more, except those stupid camera commercials. Not that he was some great big talent before. He has his Punk’d show and some crappy movies he did. But what does he do now? Or have I missed something major?

Same goes for Demi. What has she done lately? Would anyone take the risk and hire her for one of their movies? That seems very doubtful.

One thing that Demi has been busy doing, is biding her time by tweetin’ on Twitter. She loves to tweet about guess who? Ashton of course. All about their ooey gooey romance. Made me throw up a little. 

Yeah ok, we get it Demi, you landed yourself a young one with a pretty face. WE KNOW. Now what?

Demi Moore is on the cover of December’s W wearing a festive holiday getup. The reigning Queen of Twitter talks about (what else?) being a cougar and how great Ashton Kutcher is. Feels like we’ve heard this all before from the actress, but let’s do it anyway.

While everyone considers Demi to be the O.G. cougar, she doesn’t see it that way.

“I’m certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl,” she says.

“I don’t know why that is. But I just kind of step back sometimes and say, ‘There is some reason, and what is it that I have to share in a positive way?’ I’d prefer to be called a puma.”

(”Puma” is already used to describe women in their 30s who go for younger men, so 47-year-old Demi doesn’t really fall into that category. But she thinks “she came up with the new designation,” so maybe it’s best to let her go on believing that?)

Now about her 31-year-old husband. She loves him. A lot.

“The most overwhelming part of meeting someone that you already felt you had such a deep and old connection with is that your feelings are greater than the time you’ve had to actually be with one another. Now we’ve had the physical time together. The love he has for me makes me a better person by giving me the courage to take risks. I can fail and have someone who loves me just the same. I never knew it was quite possible.”

If she’s not gushing about her hubby on Twitter, she’s gotta gush somewhere. Now let’s wrap this up with a photo of Demi looking like she’s ready to join the next round of Dancing With the Stars. (That’ll happen at some point, right?)

So what about that dress that E is talking about?
Here it is below.

Hey Demi! The ’80’s called they want their dress back!
And what is that thing on her thumb? A grey bandage? Or am I seeing that wrong?

Such an awful pose she struck with that boney chicken wing of an arm sticking out. Why would W magazine and Demi approve of that picture? Were the other pictures to pick from that much worse? Hard to imagine.

Back to the inigma of their relationship.
I wonder if Demi’s cub (Ashton) will still be into making love to a 65 year old saber tooth when he turns a meer 49 years old?

Hey Demi, I hope you’re up for a hoo-ha rejuvenation? Or have you already had one? Well by the time you hit 65, you will be in need of yet another hoo-haw hoist anyways, because gravity is not kind.

Ashton was and still is considered quite the looker. I doubt he will ever have a shortage of women who want to jump his bones. He’s only 31 years old and has his whole life ahead of him. The older he gets… the better the young ones are going to start to look to him. It’s usually the way it goes. Sorry, fact of life. Get over it.

And don’t start with the “if Demi was a man, it would be more accepted” BS.
It goes both ways.

I have a friend who married a MUCH older man. They have a huge age difference. She did NOT marry him for money, he didn’t have any money. She still loves him of course, but the more he ages, the more his personality is changing, and he wants to do less and less. He is pretty content with just sitting around and watching TV when he is not working and of course that is normal for many. She jokes about him being a senior citizen, but I know it’s really starting to bother her. And no my friend is not shallow. I think when they got married, she convinced herself that his age wouldn’t be an issue. But now that he is in his sixties and he is changing his ways, she wishes for the younger man she married. It happens.

But maybe Ashton will feel differently.
Maybe he will stay with Demi, even when her ta-tas go completely south for the second time and she has to keep dying her pubes, so the rug will match the drapes. (ok, now I am grossing myself out) 

Hey Demi! I wouldn’t hire any cute young things as maids to hang around the house, if you catch my drift. And I think it would be a little tough to see Ashton smooching it up with a younger gal in a movie. Which has already happened. And as much as Demi acts like she is secure about their relationship, there’s bound to be insecurities. Especially when some of the girls are twenty years younger than her. It’s normal.

And what if Ashton wants to be a baby daddy? What if he wants his own kids? That has to weigh heavy on Demi too, especially that her baby making years are over. I know he considers Demi’s kids as his own, but it’s not the same as having your own child. He may be filled with a lot of regret when he gets a little older for not having one of his own.

Ashton still has PLENTY of time left for that. But Demi? Nope! She is done. I guess they can always hire a surrogate. But again, not the same.

Only time will tell if this puma cougar can hold on to her cub.
Who knows… maybe Demi will leave Ashton for a younger cub!

Not sure how many lives out of nine that Demi the puma cougar has already used.
I am just telling it like it is.

FYI… In the animal kingdom….
Cougars and pumas (and mountain lions) are all one in the same.
But don’t tell Demi that… she will then want to be called a kitten. MEOW!

Looks like Spencer and Heidi have put a hold on their honeymoonin’.

Spencer Pratt aka Speidi (hate conjoined names with a passion) was interviewed by Pop Wrap of the NY  Post, and happened to mention that he hasn’t been gettin’ any from his wifey-poo because he is a fraid of her becoming pregnant. He is preventing Heidi’s dream of becoming a mother by refusing her sex. Oh Spencer, you are a side splitter!

He says that Heidi has him ”debating whether to cut off his nuts”. Considering there isn’t much to cut off in the first place Spence, I am sure there are many people standing in line who would be willing to do that for you.

Apparently, Spencer is mortified of Heidi going off birth control and not telling him about it. Hmmm, what’s that Heidi? Birth control? What would Jesus have to say about that?

Spencer also says that sex really isn’t a fact in their marriage. Wow, at their age, (or any age for that matter) I find that pretty sad and funny at the same time. Maybe they just totally bore each other to death in bed. Or perhaps they may be distracted by a mirror in the room and can’t stop looking at their reflections.

I guess Spencer and Heidi haven’t considered ALL the other alternatives they can do to get their groove on without doing the dastardly missionary position nasty. Perhaps you two should rent a couple of videos or buy a book or two?

But on the other hand.. maybe it’s a good thing that they are not reproducing. Speidi offspring is a frightening notion. After all, what will they do when their baby gets more attention then them? Oh the inhumanity!

At any rate, for the life of me, I don’t see how discussing their sex life, or should I say the lack of their sex life is very complimentary to their already failing careers. It makes Spence look like more of a wuss, and the admittance of Heidi’s birth control use, makes them look like the phony Christians they truly are.

People wrote:

There are many things most people would rather not dwell upon when considering the facts behind the marriage between Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, perhaps the most reviled pairing in reality TV.

Thank God sex isn’t really a fact in their marriage, according to Pratt.

Speaking to the New York Post”’s PopWrap on Tuesday, Pratt, 26, says that he’s tried to prevent Montag, 23, from realizing her dreams of becoming a young mother – by refusing her sex.

“I’m not even kidding, my wife – OK, I’m gonna get crass here – but we’re barely having sex because I’m scared that she’s gonna have a baby,” he says. “That’s the level our marriage is on right now. I’m not even kidding – my wife has me debating cutting off my nuts.”
Hidden Fear
Behind his abstinence is his fear that Montag might go off her birth control without telling him, he says.

“She’s not the kind of person who would lie – she would just walk away and not answer the question,” he says. “So yes, I’m very concerned. Our sex life has dramatically changed recently.”

Pratt, who hints that he’d like to go on a double-date with President Barack and Michelle Obama to “share the spotlight,” and bashes frequent Speidi mocker Joel McHale, host of The Soup, as “a struggling wannabe actor just clowning on reality stars,” also gets in a dig at Lauren Conrad – whom he claims quit the MTV reality show only as a ruse to get more money.

“She quit The Hills because Speidi was getting more famous than her. So she quit thinking the show would end, but she was wrong. Her ego ruined her life and her career,” he says. “I pray for her every day and we’d all love for her to come back to The Hills when she realizes her move didn’t work.”

Pratt says he wants to go on a double date with Obama? *laughs holding sides*

Gee, what would that conversation be like over dinner? Would love to be a fly on the wall during that outing.
Maybe the double date would go something like this….

Obama: “So Spencer, why are you famous again? And why did I agree to this double date?” (as Michelle ducks into the bathroom for the 3rd time since they sat down to dinner, to avoid talking to Heidi.

Spencer answers Obama: “Uh… excuse me? I was on I Am A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here dude!”

Heidi corrects Spencer and says, “WE were on the show“.

Obama says, “is that the show that you two left early and Heidi was crying all the time?”

Heidi interupts and starts to cry and whine… ”Yeah but… they were SO unfair! And there was icky bugs and stuff. And I was the only awesome person on the whole show! And if it wasn’t for Jesus, I would have left even earlier than holding out for those four torturing days. Thank God Baldwn baptized me on show”

Spencer chimes in “ahem! WE we the most awesome people on that show. We totally ruled dude.”

Spencer then asks Obama, “Well then, how about The Hills? Have you seen how awesome we were on The Hills?”

Obama, annoyed, realizing what losers they are….looks at his watch and says, “NO“.
 
Michelle comes back to the table and Obama gives the hint to Michelle for them to leave by shifting his eyes back and forth towards the door.

Spencer  says,  “you never heard of the Hills? Dude! that’s like SO impossible.”

Obama stands up and says, “well we really should be going, I have an important meeting tomorrow”

Spencer says, “ok cool man, you must be really busy with all the President dude stuff and all. Maybe we can do this again some time”The Obamas pretend not to hear Spencer as they hurry out the door.

Spencer proudly sits back and says ”Man, they totally loved us.”

And Heidi says, “Totally”

Spencer grabs Heidi’s leg, winks and says, “come on…. let’s get out of here and do some serious dry humping. Which I am totally rad at.”

Heidi says “Totally“.
End scene.

*Sigh*
I digress…
So back to not having sex and their dwindling careers….

Spencer and Heidi can always live off Heidi’s line of whore bag clothes called Heidiwood. (if they are still selling that is) I find the name Heidiwood for her fashion line totally ironic now.

Maybe they should change the title to “Speidi-Blue-Balls” and feature bedazzled chastity belts. Awesome!

Word of advice Speidi… Save your money dudes. I think your future careers will involve Heidi eventually doing a commercial for tampons. And down the line you both may be asking if people want paper or plastic.

Or perhaps you two can do a Christian public service video on abstinence? I can just imagine what it would sound like…. 
Spencer would say, “Just don’t do it dudes, you end up with babies and junk”
And then Heidi would say, “Besides sex can be SO icky! Yuck!”

I say if you want some really big bucks there’s always the all mighty sex tape leak that you two can fall back on. A comedy sex video that is. *snicker*

Oh wait….that’s  right… you ain’t gettin’ any.

Speidi Off To Dry Hump Like….Ummm, Errr…Rabbits?

Every once in a while you read something that just makes you cringe and say, Oh come on!
This is one of those stories.

Apparently, Simon Cowell has written a letter, excuse me… a VERY LONNNNNNG letter to his younger self and it was published in the Daily Mail. I didn’t read all of it, because #1…. I have a life, and #2… it was just making me cringe so much I was getting a crick in my neck. And also one of my pet peeves is someone talking in the third person.

First off, who does this? 
Or if you are so silly to do so, do you have it published so everyone can say EWWWWW and think you are a total douche? Really, can Simon be any more full of himself?

Simon must have started at a very early age. The picture below is probably how Simon started out.

Simon Give Us Kiss Now.. You Handsome Dog!

He wrote this letter to himself because his 50th birthday is right around the corner on Oct 7th. I was speechless as I skimmed over the letter and just couldn’t believe what I was reading. We couldn’t post the whole letter here because it was beyond HUGE.

It’s best to read the entire letter yourself on the Daily Mail website.
The letter was entitled, “SIMON COWELL: A letter to my shallow, reckless, cocky younger self“.
I kid you not. Oh! Be sure to have a bucket handy. Click here and gag.

Eonline reported:

Simon Cowell’s Gone Soft (and Long-Winded) in His Old Age

Someone needs to pull the pen from Simon Cowell’s fingers.
While we love it when the crotchety American Idol judge decides to air his dirty laundry in public (that Susan Boyle botch list was a classic), is an absurdly lengthy diatribe really necessary?

On the cusp of his 50th birthday next week, Cowell wrote a letter to himself published in yesterday’s Daily Mail in the U.K. In it, he looks back on the past few decades, scolding himself for poor decisions he made in the ’80s and ’90s and patting himself on the back for the good ones.

It would be a good, self-deprecating, third-person about-face, but regardless of what he says, nearly 3,500 words makes for nothing but a puff (as in puff, the magic ego) piece.

“You are on a roll and you think the good times will last forever but, oh dear, Simon. You are so, so wrong,” he writes to the 1980s version of himself. “You look like a complete idiot…you are overconfident, far too cocky and dressed from head to toe in expensive designer gear…It hasn’t dawned on you yet, you idiot, that you can’t afford any of this stuff.”

Of course, Mr. Tight T-shirts takes it easy on himself for the final 1,000 words or so.

“I must say, despite everything, I’m quite proud of you, Simon,” he says. “You’re happy, you’re content and just incredibly grateful for where you are.”

Then he goes on to list what’s changed for him over the years—really important things like what he drinks and snacks on and how he doesn’t like to bum $5 from anyone. He pats himself on the back for never marrying because he’s such a workaholic, and for staying friends with his exes.

“Your job, Simon, was to make celebrities, not to become one yourself, dear boy,” he says. “Underneath it all, Simon, you are a realist. You don’t believe the hype about yourself. You can see what you do well and what you do badly. People think you are this Machiavellian character, forever plotting and scheming.”

He ends his diatribe as Hallmark would have intended—”So happy birthday! Love Simon”—although we’d hate to see the card size needed to print this self-loving loathing opus.

“Happy Birthday LOVE Simon“? I think I just threw up a little.

The definition for narcissism is as follows:

1. Excessive love or admiration of oneself.
2. Psychological condition characterized by self-preoccupation, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
3. Erotic pleasure derived from contemplation or admiration of one’s own body or self, especially as a fixation on or a regression to an infantile stage of development.
4. The attribute of the human psyche characterized by admiration of oneself but within normal limits

Well I am not sure if #3 applies to Simon, but it would not surprise me one iota!

His letter did remind me of a little poem from my grammar school days when people used to sign your autograph book when you graduated. The all so familiar ”roses are red” rhymes and those little clever ditties like “2 great, 2B, 4 gotten”.

No it wasn’t the “roses are red, violets are black, go sit on a tack“ rhyme that came to mind. (although it certainly would apply)

It was the following little poem, which I would like to dedicate to Simon on his upcoming 50th birthday….

You love yourself you think your grand..
You go to the movies and hold your hand.
You slip your arm around your waist…
And when you get fresh.. you slap your face!

With new reports of Cowell doing American Idol for another two years and also producing “The X Factor” in the US, he will be making over 100 million by this time next year. *shakes head*

It is quite obvious that he can care less that this letter to himself makes him look like a total conceited, pompous ass. Or maybe that is exactly what he wanted. His popularity seems to stay afloat by people loving to hate him.

Oh crap, I think I just contributed to that!
Touche’ Cowell!

The Big Bang Theory, no I am not talking about ”a cosmological theory holding that the universe originated approximately 20 billion years ago from the violent explosion of a very small agglomeration of matter of extremely high density and temperature”. (Thanks Wiki)

I am talking about the CBS hit show about a bunch of geeks that nabbed the TCA (Television Critic’s Award) this past summer.

Yes geeks have been cool for quite a while now and the word geek has received some long awaited respect. Who can forget Revenge of the Nerds? 
Nerds really became popular for a while there. That is, I should say MOCKING them was popular. Many people dressed us as Nerds for Halloween parties and I even came across a Revenge of The Nerds Cruise!

Times have changed, and nerds or geeks, (which ever you prefer) have been totally reinvented since the Revenge of the Nerds movies. Geek seems to be the popular term now over nerd. They are no longer portrayed nearly as geeky as before. The days of bullying and being beat up are long gone. (well a t least in the movies and on TV) It’s no longer the norm to show a geek with tape on their eye glasses, pants hiked up to their nips and sporting a pocket pen protector.

Yep, geeks finally have their much deserved recognition. Not only in Hollywood, but in the real world too.

Geekdome even hit reality show status with Beauty and the Geek, and let’s not forget the geeks on the TV sitcom Chuck where they run the fictitious ”Nerd Herd” at  the “Buy More”.

In real life, Geek Squad and Rent a Geek company cars can be seen scurrying on their way to fixing people’s computers in many states.
Years ago, it would have been considered rude or a joke to name your business with the name geek or nerd in the title and have it blazed all over the company cars.
But now more than ever, geeks and nerds are respected for their smarts and it has become the new sexy.

The Big Bang Theory’s geeks certainly fit the new criteria of geeks. Although their clothes and personalities are not de-geeked completely, their look is nowhere near the full blown high water pants  and taped glasses stereotype and they don’t laugh like braying donkeys.

I have to say, I just plain adore  this show. The cast members mesh so well together.

The show is based around it’s two main geek characters in their twenties and also their neighbor Penny played by Kaley Cuoco.
Dr. Leonard Leakey Hofstadter is played by Johnny Galecki and Dr. Sheldon Cooper is played by Jim Parsons. Their character’s MO’s are two Caltech prodigies and their ditzy neighbor Penny who is a waitress at the local Cheesecake factory.
Leonard and Penny had a little thing going on and went on a date.

The classic beauty and the geek strikes again. But their date was a disaster and their brief affair fizzled out. Although… Leonard’s and Penny’s little tryst is far from over, as the show clearly hinted in it’s season finale. We will get to that later.

Leonard and Sheldon have some super geeky buddies that visit, hang out and eat nothing buy Chinese food in their walk up apartment with the constant broken elevator which is located in Pasadena. I’ll tell you one thing, if they ate as much Chinese food in real life as they do on the show, I think the cast would be sporting some serious moobs and spare tires and would be candidates for Celebrity Fit Club.

Their buddies of course are also total brainiacs.
My favorite geek is Howard Wolowitz played by Simon Helberg. On the show he still lives at home with his Mom. His fashion sense is hysterical in his 1960’s threads, complete with big kitschy belt buckles.
He portrays a corn ball loser with the gals and he is just plain hilarious. There is a great video on Youtube that  has some real classic Wolowitz clips.

His bed (in his bachelor pad) at his Mom’s house has black satin sheets, red fur blanket and leopard print pillows. But he also has some geeky collectibles here and there in his room of course.

His Mom who you never see, and only hear is played by Carol Ann Susi. Who has had a very long and impressive career on television.
Her character of playing an over bearing Jewish Mom with a raspy accent and how she treats Wolowitz like a ten year old, is just a riot.

Over the years there were many people in comedy you never got to see or hear. Like Norm’s wife Vera in Cheer’s, Nile’s wife Maris in Frazier, or even more recently Dr. Kelso’s wife and his gay son in the TV comedy Scrubs, just to name a few. Even though you never got to actually see these people, fans formed their own mental picture of what they looked like.

Speaking of which…I don’t want to spoil it for Big Bang fans, so if you don’t want to see the real Mrs. Wolowitz, close your eyes, because the next picture is of the lovely Mr’s Wolowitz , known on the Big Bang Theory for her brisket that melts in your mouth.

Although Mrs. Wolowitz’s better half, Mr. Wolowitz has not been mentioned on the show as of yet, rumors have it that Beatles Ringo Starr may be doing a cameo as Wolowitz’s Dad. YES RINGO STARR. With Wolowitz’s big snoz, it totally makes sense. Wolowitz can definitely pass for a child of Ringo Starr who was also known for his big snoz. I hope that rumor turns into a reality. It would be hilarious.

Now Wolowitz had a couple of brief encounters with Leslie Winkle, Ph.D played by Sara Gilbert.

Fact… Many people may not remember that Sara Gilbert’s boyfriend David on Roseanne was none other than Johnny Galecki who plays Leonard on the Big Bang. Also Laurie Metcalf, who played Jackie on Roseanne, did a few cameos and played Sheldon’s mother.

Sheldon, the star of the show, whose charachter idolizes Star Trek is played by Jim Parsons. Sheldon is socially inept, and an over all finicky pain in the butt who is a giant laugh and a half.

Jim won the well deserved award for individual achievement in comedy this past summer.
Oddly enough when Jim accepted his award for his genius contribution to the show, (no pun intended) he sounded an awful lot like his character Sheldon. I got a big kick out of that.

I can’t imagine what it would be like to memorize his script which is loaded with physicist jargon that would make any one’s head spin. He also has the uncanny talent of spewing out his very difficult lines at breakneck speed like a well oiled machine gun.

I wondered if Sheldon’s scientific sputum was in fact mumbo jumbo or if it had any validity behind it. After all, he plays a theoretical physicist. 

Since everyone knows how people love to challenge a shows’ ability to get it right, I looked into it and found out they actually went to a real physicist and consulted him on not only the script, but also the props and diagrams used in the show.
They explain on wiki:

“David Saltzberg, a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Los Angeles, checks scripts and provides dialogue, math equations and diagrams used as props. According to executive producer/co-creator Bill Prady, “We’re working on giving Sheldon an actual problem that he’s going to be working on throughout the first season so there’s actual progress to the boards … We worked hard to get all the science right.”

Hmmm, smart cookies… since any geek who tunes into this show will certainly be watching with a very discerning eye and would jump at the chance to disprove or argue any incorrect data found.

Back to the cast.
That leaves us with last but not least the meek Dr. Rajesh Ramayan Koothrappali played by Kunal Nayyar. His character is unable to talk to women unless he drinks. He wears mismatched clothes and tries to talk hip and talks to his parents in India via we cam every now and they totally disprove his lifestyle. Koothrapali, like all the others is a sheer delight to watch.
All together these characters meld into one hell of a show.

But who is the real genius behind the show besides it’s talented and brilliant writers?

The Big Bang Theory is the brain child of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. 
Lorre was interviewed by GeekHeeb at Comic-Con, and it was posted on the Jewish Journal:

GeekHeeb caught up with series creator Chuck Lorre (“Two and a Half Men”) and actor Simon Helberg at Comic-Con to discuss the show’s Jewish characters: Howard Wolowitz, a Caltech engineer/ romantic loser who still lives at home with his never-seen, overbearing Jewish mother, known only as Ms. Wolowitz.

Lorre says that Wolowitz is based on his own Jewish background as well as that of Helberg.
While Wolowitz’s mother (played by Carol Ann Susi) has more than made her presence known (even if we don’t see her), we have yet to hear from Mr. Wolowitz.

The Big Bang Theory went through a real rough patch when they were hit with the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike and had to halt production. Whew! Glad everything worked out.
Thankfully the show is back in full swing and has been picked up for both 2010 and 2011.

The season premier is slated for Sept 21st, and it picks up where the end of season two left off.
Sheldon is approached by the Dean of the University and asked to hoof it up to the Arctic for a three-month mission to prove the validity of string theory. Naturally all the guys are convinced to join Sheldon, even though he is impossible to live with in his apratment, never mind a tiny shack in the Arctic.

Penny knitted a scarf and hat for Leonard and gives it to him before he leaves along with a snuggie. Of course Leonard still has feelings for Penny and asks what the gesture meant, and Penny says “to keep you warm”, but then goes into her apartment and behind the door says “It means I wish you weren’t going”. Awwww.

The new season’s teasers are showing Penny lunging at Leonard and giving him a big kiss on their return. So the plot thickens…
The guys are shown with big bushy heads and beards from their stint up North and it looks like the season premier is going to be killer.

The theme song for the show was written and sung by the Bare Naked Ladies.

The show just oozes cool hilarity.If you haven’t had the chance to see The Big Bang Theory yet, free up your Monday nights.
If you don’t, you are really missing out on some serious dopamine level increases and some multiple endorphine releases.
And that’s about as scientific as I get.

Two Peas In A Pod

It’s official! Pam and Jim are getting married!
On The Office that is.
TV’s most adorable couple in the sitcom world, Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert, played by Jenna Fisher and John Krasinski are going to get married on the show, and Pam is going to reveal that a little “Dundy” is on the way! Pam and Jim as new parents is going to bring a refreshing and comedic blast to the epicness of this already fantastic show.
EOnline reported:

That’s right, Dunder Mifflinites. Little Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) and the love of her life, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), are officially walking down the aisle after five years of will-they-won’t-they goodness.

In the midst of TCA madness, the gracious folks at NBC invited us to tour the set and enjoy a chat with the entire cast and crew of The Office—minus one Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), but it was still incredible and came jam-packed with, what else, scoop on Jam.
The obvious question on everyone’s mind: When exactly will the preggo pair say “I do”? “Pam’s going to walking down the aisle very soon because she is pregnant, but trying to hide that from certain members of her family,” Jenna tells us. “They’re getting married very quickly—in the fourth episode.”
(Excuse us while we quietly jump for joy in a corner somewhere…)

In fact, the third episode of the season was being filmed today and Jenna was in full bride mode. “I just had a fitting for Pam’s wedding dresses and that was a really special moment. We found one, and I hope it gets approved by the powers that be.”
Don’t expect the affair to be too sentimental. “It should be pretty great. I got to see some of the episode and it’s really funny.”
We’re eagerly anticipating more Dwight-related Wedding Crasher-esque antics.
Jim and Pam are getting hitched! Are you as excited as we are? What about some Dwangela nuptials? Let us know.

The Office happens to be one of my favorite shows. I never miss an episode if I can help it. The writing is genius and the stars have “mucho”talent. My favorite characters, are of course the ones that annoy me the most. Ass kisser, beet farmer and all around pain in the butt, Dwight Shrute played by Rainn Wilson and boss Michael Scott played by Steve Carrel are definitely the geekiest, most annoying and among my favorites of the cast. I also really enjoy new comer, Andrew Bernard played by Ed Helms. Well he is not really a new comer any more, but joined the show a lot later than the other cast members. Ed plays a pompous WASPY nerd and I hope this upcoming season has something really interesting in store for him. Maybe he can go on tour with his acapella group and we can follow their tour. *snicker*
Helm’s has had a lot of success outside of The Office as well. His recent movie The Hangover was a huge success, and he is also in another movie coming out on August 14th, entitled The Goods Live Hard.. Sell Hard.

ALL the charachters on the Office, are ultra talented. Even Toby! (Sorry Michael!)
A couple of things that I wish for in the upcoming season? I hope Holly Flax, played by Amy Ryan comes back. She was hired as a HR, and dated Michael briefly. They were made for each other and I really liked her. I think it is inevitable that they will eventually get back together, as the show hinted about it in  previous episodes. Besides, any couple that talks like Yoda, needs to be back together. It would be great if Angela and Dwight were to rekindle their affair. They were quite the freakish couple, but some how they just work together. Angela and Andy just didn’t work out, which is probably why Angela was still hooking up with Dwight in those extra long steamy office breaks. I bet that Dwight still considers Angela his little monkey. Maybe he can replace Sprinkles her cat that he froze in her freezer and start things up again. Would love to see more stories on the rest of the Office characters too. Kevin, Phyllis, Ryan, Stanley, Toby, Creed, Meredith, Kelly and Oscar all need a little bit more air time. And I would love to see “Packer” and Dwight’s brother “Mose” make some more guest appearances.

I am sure Pam and Jim’s nuptials, Pam’s pregnancy and their journey into parenthood will be simply hilarious. Let’s hope they keep pounding out one enjoyable episode after another. After all, with all the crappy TV shows that are out there today, and there happens to be MANY…..they definitely need to keep this show on the air. It’s fun, it’s quirky, it’s semi sexy and it’s BIG on humor.
Looking forward to the upcoming season and many more nights of being delighted and satisfied! That’s what she said!

Listen up all you Saved By The Bell closet geeks. Looks like some of the cast members from one of the biggest guilty pleasure shows of all time may get together and appear on the Late Nite With Jimmy Fallon show. Former SNL star, Jimmy Fallon, had Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack) as a  guest on his show to promote Gosselaar’s current TV show Raising the Bar. Gosselaar came out  dressed as Zack, in his 90’s garb and stayed in Zack’s character through out the whole interview, complete with looks and winks at the camera and even did a couple of ”Time Outs” where everyone around him freezes. Zack called former castmate Elizabeth Berkley on his 90’s brick phone and asked her if she would be willing to reunite on Fallon’s show. She said she was in. Fallon actually started an online petition to get fans to vote and pledge their support for the cast to reunite on the show. So who knows, maybe a made for TV movie may be in the works or a special reunion show.

At the end of “Zack’s” interview, Fallon wheeled out a huge SBTB display of the cast members and filled in the faces that said they would reunite on the show. Followed by ”Zack” doing a rendition of the “Friends Forever” song with the band which he of course called “Zack Attack”. And since then, Mr. Belding played by Dennis Haskins, was on Falllon’s show and has also agreed to participate.

A question mark must still remains over the face of Screech on Fallon’s SBTB display. Apparently Dustin Diamond will not be participating in the the reunion. And thank goodness for that. Many Fans liked Dustin Diamond as Screech (I never could stand him), but today he is not so popular to say the least. His antics over the years have left a real sour taste in people’s mouths. From his reality show hissy fits to his “Save Screech’s House Fund Raiser” escapade, to his leaked porno flick named “Screeched”. He was also filmed at porno conventions. He has become a real seedy guy, and his personality is that of a complete and utter douche. It is doubtful that fans will care less if  he participates in the reunion or not. In fact it is believed that many fans would prefer that he stay away. Everyone knows that Diamond showing up at this reunion will mean a  potential disaster, and the reunion will end up being all about him. I am not a prude in any sense of the matter, but anybody who has been nick named Dustin “Dirty Sanchez” Diamond should stay far, far away. And if you don’t know what a Dirty Sanchez  is, bring it up around the water cooler at work. Just make sure your boss is out of ear shot.

Now I was never a real  fan of Saved By The Bell and I have never seen an entire show, but it did had a huge fan base. It ran between 1989-1993. “Bayside High School” was set in Malibu, it originally was set in Indinapolis. It was the scene of numerous break ups and love problems. The many problems that high school kids have and of course all of Zack’s silly schemes. A lot of people don’t realize that the show started out as “Good Morning, Miss Bliss,” and originally starred Hayley Mills. Characters Screech, Zack and Lisa Marie were there from the very beginning. You can go here,to listen to the original song of the earlier show. You will understand why the show really needed a LOT of tweaking and a new song. The show then got  revamped and featured a new song. It was going to be called “When The Bell Rings”, but in the end, Saved By The Bell was the title of choice. If you want a blast form the past… you can go here and hear the original SBTB theme song and the “Friends Forever” song  and some assorted cast pictures.

Lots of people may not remember that many other stars joined the cast of SBTB in the past. Denise Richards once got rescued by Slater. Soleil Moon Frye as well as Tori Spelling played Screech’s girlfriends. And believe it or not even Scientologist Leah Remini played one of many of Zack’s love interests. (so glad Zack didn’t join the cult! Take Screech! *snicker*)

The show didn’t end all together with Saved By The Bell. It had one season of Saved By The Bell -The College Years, and then there was  Saved By The Bell- The New Class, which was a tad more successful. That show lasted from 1993 to 2000. But hey, don’t fret there are still DVDs and cassettes of the all the episodes you can buy. There is even a 1995 soundtrack of the show available for all you extra big nerdies.

People Magazine did a whole story on some of the cast members for the 20th Anniversary of SBTB which was on their front cover . 
You may notice they took Screech out of the vintage group shot at the bottom of the cover.
Mario Lopez told people:

“Everybody is fired up. People keep coming up to me saying: ‘When are you guys going to do a show?’

Of course Screech was missing from the interview and the photo shoot for the People issue. Perhaps he was too busy doing another porno. Man you couldn’t  pay me enough. I also read a blurb that Dustin Diamond said the next project he was working on was a tell-all called, “Behind The Bell?” Haven’t heard anything else thus far.
I didn’t talk too much about the gals on the show, and where they are today. Everyone knows that Tiffani Thiessen went on to be a part of 90210. She did do a spoof video on Funny Or Die where she says she has a sh*t ton of stuff to do and says she is just too busy doing cat films and knitting  to participate in the reunion. So according to Fallon’s online petition, everyone is in except Screech, I would call that a rap and get on with the reunion.

But I would totally be remiss if I didn’t talk about the hunkiest cast member of Saved by the Bell…  and I don’t mean Mr. Belding.  I am of course talking about  the ever so yummy Mario Lopez. I never gave him a second look when he played Slater, and most gals liked Zack. I am not partial to blond guys to begin with, but talking about “time being kind”. Mario has aged into one smoldering HOT piece of eye candy.
IS there a man out there better looking than Mario Lopez ? Those dimples! That six pack! Cold shower time.
Over the years Mario has been very busy hosting his butt off from animal shows, to Miss America to  Dancing With The Stars.(he can dance too) He is also involved in the Ronald McDonald House Charities and is a member of their celebrity board. Hunky, wealthy, charitable and he can dance. Wow, he’s a total package. He was named People magazine’s “Hottest Bachelor” last year. Finally I agree with them. So is there a lucky gal in Mario’s life now? Mario was briefly married, but it didn’t last. Can’t say it is at all fair that only one gal should get this man!

Rest assured if Saved By The Bell were to come back as a show again… I would definitely watch it this time around.Wink wink!

Many people are becoming more aware of the term Carbon Footprint.
For those of you who don’t know the meaning… a little help from Wikipedia:

A carbon footprint is “the total set of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organization, event or product” (UK Carbon Trust 2008). An individual,nation or organization’s carbon footprint is measured by undertaking a GHG emissions assessment. Once the size of a carbon footprint is known, a strategy can be devised to reduce it.

Reported by WENN.comspeaking about U2’s lead singer Bono:

He may be on the short side, but Bono leaves an huge footprint — according to environment experts. The singer and his band U2 have come under fire because of the amount of co2 their jet-setting tours generate — each year they create the same as a one-way trip to Mars! Environmental consultant Helen Roberts claims, “The carbon footprint generated by U2’s 44 concerts this year is equal to carbon created by the four band members travelling the  34.125 million miles from Earth to Mars in a passenger plane….Just looking at the 44 concerts this year, the band will  create enough carbon to fly all 90,000 people attending one of their Wembley concerts to Dublin.
“To offset this year’s carbon emissions, U2 would need to plant 20,118 trees.”
 Is it time for the campaigning rockers to practice what they preach?

Hmm, that’s not cool at all. Let’s not forget the house(s) that U2 guitarist Edge is building in Malibu CA., that I reported on earlier that had local residents wondering why he would want to build so many structures and mar the landscape’s natural beauty.
Is U2 not practicing what they preach? 
From their website they say:

The music of U2 has always been about heart and mind, body and soul. Down the years the band have succesfully thrown a spotlight on the work of key campaigning groups who are trying to make the world a better place.

 
Well in U2’s defense, they do support the following organizations:
MUSIC RISING
THE ANGIOGENESIS FOUNDATION
(RED)
ONE
FREE BURMA!
GREENPEACE
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
THE CHERNOBYL CHILDRENS PROJECT

Well U2… Perhaps you can come up with an alternative way to get to your concerts rather than jetting all over creation? Or at least plant some damn trees? You are big advocates in making the world a better place as stated on your webiste and you talk the talk, but make sure you also walk the walk. Rock on gentleman, but don’t leave your footprints behind.

No, Michael Jackson isn’t going to be buried on the moon. But it wouldn’t surprise me one iota and perhaps LA would agree to pay for that too. *snicker*
Now I promised myself that I wasn’t going to write anything about Michael Jackson, because he is in every tabloid, on every TV channel and everything else in between. I turn on the TV… Jackson, Jackson, Jackson, a newspaper… Jackson, a magazine…. Jackson, the Internet… Jackson. Look up at the moon… Jackson. Wait! Huh? 
Yes the Lunar Republic Society has renamed a crater on the moon in memory of Jackson. Ok, that’s freakin’ it!  The world has spun off it’s axis.
The crater was previously named Posidonius J.
From The Telegraph, a spokesman for the society said:

 ”The official designation of a Lunar crater is a singular honour bestowed upon only a select few luminaries.
“Among those receiving this rare tribute over the past century are Leonardo da Vinci, Christopher Columbus, Sir Isaac Newton, Julius Caesar and Jules Verne.”

Evidently, the Lunar Republic Society felt that Jackson was a luminary and deserved the same honor as Columbus the explorer, Newton who discovered gravity and was a brilliant physicists, and da Vinci who painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Hmmm..Their reasoning is a bit ridiculous, to say the least, but then again, do we really care who the Lunar Republic Society names craters after? I don’t. I really don’t have any plans on going to the moon any time soon. It’s the Society’s reasoning that makes me scratch my head. They can go ahead and name a crater after Steve Urkel for all I care, but please don’t lump him in the same group as da Vinci and Newton. Did I do that???

Now you can’t take away the fact that the world has made Michael Jackson into an icon, and that he will be missed by many. Certainly not by all… but many. Ok, we get it . But can we all move on now? PLEASE?
Everyone knows what happens from here. All the admiration in the tabloids will now turn to finger pointing, more scandal, people coming forward with new evidence, writing stories,books, movies, new clothing line, new music releases that were never heard, people wearing sparkly gloves again and then Ben and Jerry’s will name an ice cream after him and then I will move to the moon. 
Trust me, this Jackson mania is only the tip of the iceberg ladies and gents. It’s going to get a whole lot uglier from here.

So remember, the next time you are looking  up at the moon while eating your Ben and Jerry’s Marshmallow Mocha Moonwalk… there is a crater named Michael Joseph Jackson located in the Lake of Dreams, sitting right next to the 1,200 acre parcel that Jackson purchased for himself  previously  in 2005. *sighs* 
Take me back to the day, when I thought the moon was made of cheese.

“I ain’t got time to stand around here and discuss trivial trivialities!”

I admit, I don’t Twitter.  I do Facebook and I’ve thought about MySpacing, but Twitter…I guess I just don’t see the point.  For one thing, my life isn’t exciting enough to chronicle in short, 140-character bursts.  I mean, what am I gonna say?  “I’m putting together the supper menu.  Hamburger Helper it is!” or “My cat took a dump in the sandbox and it’s smelling up the laundry room.” or “My toenails grow too slow.  I wonder if that fungus has anything to do with it?”

Okay, maybe I’m sharing too much with you people.

But I guess that’s part of my point…why would I want to stay hyper-connected to my friends?  Why would they want to stay hyper-connected to me?  Do I have people in my life who care that much?  I don’t think even I care that much.  I’m boring!  (Dawn, however, is not.  Of course she’s not.  She’s awesome!)

But wait, there’s more…
