Rosie O’Donnel recently chatted with shock jock Howard Stern on Sirius XM Radio.

She dished about her not so fabulous relationship with her wife lately, Oprah Winfrey and Oprah’s BFF Gail. And oh yeah… that she thought her and Angelina Jolie almost hooked up once.

Was this wishful thinking on Rosie’s part? Or wishful thinking on Jolie’s part? Or just creepy Howard Stern with his usual everyday thoughts? *snicker*

First, about Oprah….
Both Rosie and Howard say they think that Oprah and BFF Gail are closer than they are letting people know.

From EOnline:

As for her thoughts on Oprah’s relationship with her BFF, Rosie and Howard think there may be some sparks.

“I don’t know that she and Gayle are necessarily doing each other,” Rosie said, “but I think they are the emotional equivalent of…”

“A gay couple,” the radio man finished.

“When they did that road trip, that’s as gay as it gets, and I don’t mean it to be an insult either,” Rosie explained. “I’m just saying, listen, if you ask me, that’s the couple.”

Doesn’t Howard imagine ALL women that have a relationship with another women of any kind in bed together? I can’t stand the man and he skeeves me out to no end. I bet his palms are always sweaty. EWWWW!

As far as Rosie thinking that Oprah and Gail are a couple? 
I just think her bringing up Oprah and Gail was ridiculous and a real yawn fest.
Although Gail would have been a BIG improvement over Stedman! (I always considered him Mr Excitement)

Don’t get me wrong, I am not defending Oprah the Scientology cult sympathizer in any way. Even though everyone is eternally grateful to Oprah for having Cruise on her show, which led to the famous career end phrase “jumping the couch”.

Hey Tom! How’s That Scientology Going For You Lately?

So if you are keeping score, I find Howard Stern, Rosie AND Oprah all repulsive. Oh yeah Cruise too. All for different reasons. And none of those reasons have anything to do with sex.

So what about Oprah’s BFF Gail? I don’t think I have EVER thought of that women before in my life in any capacity what so ever. I find her as about exciting as a fence post. Although again, she still would have been a better pick than Stedman.
FYI…when Stedman and billionaire gal pal Oprah finally ended their 21 year old fling, he received $250 mil for his “years of ridicule and you better keep your mouth shut” severance package. Wonder what Oprah’s gal pal Gail will get? *snicker*

So where does Angelina Jolie come into this picture?

Well….
Rosie told Howard that she talked to Angelina on the phone a couple of times way back when.
Ohhhhhh! That’s where she got the idea that they were going to hook up. Who could blame her? WHAT?

Some more help from EOnline… Rosie said,

“She gave me her phone number,” Rosie said. “We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through.”

Fear got the best of Rosie and she wasn’t able to seal the deal.

“I was a little afraid of her,” she said. “She’s scary in a sexual kind of way. I have dreams about her a lot still.”

Dinner plans too? WOW! Now wonder Rosie thought that there may have been a little somethin’- somethin’ going on between them.
Are you freakin’ kidding me?

First off, I have to mention, that I find Angelina Jolie ALSO repulsive, and again, it has nothing to do with who she did, who she almost did, or who she is doing now. Which of course is Brad Pitt, who I can’t stand either since he hooked up with “Angelina -Jimmy- Deana”. My nickname for her because of her huge plumped up sausage-like lips. You know…. Jimmy Dean sausage?

And secondly…. who gives a rats ass?
Really. Sounds like Rosie is doing a little “shock jocking” herself to get some attention.
And does anyone really want to hear about Rosie’s….  ahem….”wet dreams?”

I think many people think that there is no way in hell that Rosie could have scored with Jolie and that Jolie is way out of Rosie’s league. You know because everyone thinks Jolie is Ms. Wonderful and her beauty is simply breath taking? *ROLLS EYES*

But remember when Jolie kissed her brother on the lips on camera way back when? That was WAY too long of a kiss for any one’s comfort. How about her fling with Billy Bob Thorton? (ick)
I really wouldn’t have been surprised one iota if she did actually hook up with Rosie back then. Nor would I have cared. Hell, I wouldn’t care now!

But of course times have really changed now for Jolie. She thinks that when she poops it should be bottled as perfume. And I would imagine that Jolie would think that Rosie is not worthy of having scary sex time with her now. Besides, Jolie is saving it all for BRADLEY. *puke*

I think it’s moronic that Rosie thought that a few phone calls and a dinner date than never happened was some sort of prelude to jumping in the sack with Jolie or anyone for that matter.

So a word of caution people……
If you are not into Rosie that way…. I wouldn’t talk to her on the phone. And whatever you do, don’t make any dinner plans with her. Because it will obviously be perceived as steamy foreplay and undoubtedly an invitation for sexy time.

Unless of course, you want to hit that…..

Where’s The Camel Toe Police When You Need Them?

George Takei With Husband Brad Altman

Everyone remembers the “Newlywed Game” which was hosted by Bob Eubanks. Their first show aired way back in 1966. Who could forget Eubanks with his corny personality and dorky questions? For instance… where was the strangest place you ever made whoopee? (I always hated that word). Even dorkier by far, were the newlywed couples that were on the show.

I used to marvel at the couple’s answers. It was the kind of show you loved to watch, but the dorkiness also made you cringe.

Well the “Newlywed Game” was revamped a year ago, with a brand new host. Carnie Wilson, the new host, known for her participation in the defunk 1990’s group Wilson Phillips is getting ready for season 2. (fact :Wilson Phillip’s song  Hold On was used in “Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle” )

They are jazzing things up a little this year and having a celebrity edition, which will have the likes of newlyweds Christopher Knight and Adrianne Curry, former Monkee, Davy Jones (wow!) with his better half and others.

And for the first time in Newlywed history, a gay married couple will be contestants on the show when George Takei aka Sulu of the famed Star Trek will be joined by husband Brad Altman.

Young George As Sulu On Star Trek Set

George finally came out to the world when he was 71.  He married Brad last September and the couple has just shared their first one year anniversary.(Happy Anniversary guys!) But these two have been together much longer than one year…try 22 years! So they must be doing something right.

George met Brad through Front Runners, an LA based gay running club. George’s family and friends had to make some adjustments to his coming out and most were very supportive. One of his siblings wasn’t too accepting of George’s life style and he had some difficulties with his mom at first, but she eventually grew to really like Brad. 

George’s Mom suffered from Alzheimer’s and he had his mother move in with them, where she spent her last four years before her death. Living with someone with Alzheimers is an extremely difficult journey and Brad was George’s rock of Gibraltar, standing right by George’s side the entire time. George referred to Brad as a saint for his role in helping him to care for his Mom. True love over comes all obstacles. Click here to read about it.

George and Brad married on Sept 14th of last year and the guest list included fellow Star Trekers, Leonard Nimoy, aka Spock, Walter Koenig, aka Anton Yelchin Chekov, who was George’s best man with Nichelle Nichols aka Uhura as the maid of honor.

Wedding Party Trekers Uhura, and Chekov with George and Brad

Fellow Trekers, the late James Montgomery Doohan aka “Scotty” and the late DeForrest Kelly aka “Bones” who passed away some time back were hopefully there in spirit.

There was another Treker who was not present at the wedding. William Shatner aka Captain Kirk, who was not invited to George’s wedding and it caused quite the riff between the two to say the least. 
Apparently George was not a big fan of working with Shatner during the Star Trek years, and according to Takei, Shatner supposedly did not accept Takei’s coming out as well as the other cast members.

So I guess George snubbing Shatner sent him a big message. I was never a fan of  Shatner. I always found him creepy and pompous, perhaps George felt the same way.

George even spoke at Shatner’s roast in 2005, but I think George’s insults were more on the serious side compared to the other roaster guests.

On George’s website, you can watch a fabulous video and hear George and Brad talk about their wedding, their rings, their fight against Prop 8 and they also included some actual footage from their wedding.

So back to the Newlywed Game…..

But wait, there’s more…

The Late Jasmine Fiore and Her Alleged Murderer Husband, The Now Late Ryan Jenkins

Reality show, Megan Wants A Millionaire has been officially cancelled. The show which was taped last year, had seventeen millionaires trying for the chance to be picked as a love interest for reality show ditz Megan Hauserman. Megan was previously on Rock of Love, Beauty and the Geek and I Love Money, AND Charm School. She is known for being a giant biotch and in her own words, aspires to be a trophy wife, which was why she was looking for a millionaire.

Ryan Jenkins, picture circled above, was one of the seventeen millionaire contestants. Megan and her “special needs” dog Lilly, starred in the show, but this season’s episodes ended abruptly when Ryan, whose net worth was two million dollars, became a suspect in his wife’s murder. Huh?

Let me explain…Ryan was one of the final contestants in Megan Wants A Millionaire. And of course as you know, these shows are taped WAY in advance, so when you see the show on TV, it is MONTHS after the filming for the show has already wrapped. After the shows filming was over, Ryan met and married Vegas model/actress Jasmine Fiore who he met in a Vegas casino. They married TWO DAYS after they met. Obviously Megan did not pick Ryan as the winner, and boy did she ever dodge a bullet.

Ryan also had trouble with the law this past June after a domestic violence incidence with his wife Jasmine, resulting in a misdemeanor count of battery. Too bad they didn’t hold on to Ryan when they had him. The two reconciled and were headed for a trip to Vegas for a poker game and checked into the L’Auberge Del Mar hotel. Ryan was seen checking out the following morning ALONE. The next day Ryan reported that Jasmine was missing. It was the last trip Jasmine ever took.

Jasmine’s badly beaten and crushed nude body was found strangled and stuffed in a suitcase with her fingers and teeth removed. The suitcase was found in a dumpster in Buena Park Ca. It is assumed, the cutting of her fingers and removal of her teeth was an obvious attempt to thwart off discovering Jasmine’s identity, but that ended when she was identified by the serial numbers on her breast implants. At the risk of sounding crass…and I don’t mean any disrespect, and I apologize in advance — but I guess fake boobs are good for something after all.

Jasmine’s mother said that the couple had argued frequently and Ryan was jealous of Jasmine’s ex-boyfriends. That jealousy unfortunately reared its ugly head in a huge way and ended a 28 year-old’s life.

Authorities said Ryan was headed to Canada where he was born. From an earlier snippet from Eonline,when this story was first unfolding:

Sheriffs in Washington’s Whatcom County, the northernmost, border-sharing county in the state, found Jenkins’ car near an empty boat trailer at a marina. They also had a report of a man of his description arriving by boat in another nearby location, from which they believe he walked across the border.”

But then the tides turned and the manhunt ended when Ryan was found dead in a hotel room. I hate to say karma is a bitch…as I say it in SO many of my articles… but if the shoe fits….

More from Eonline:

The manhunt for murder suspect Ryan Jenkins is officially over. Canadian police found the former reality star dead in a hotel room this afternoon, E! News has confirmed. 

Authorities have not yet released an official cause of death, but police say the 32-year-old died of an apparent suicide. He reportedly hanged himself.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police found his body in a motel room in Hope, British Columbia, a town 84 miles east of Vancouver.

The death ends an international manhunt for the Megan Wants a Millionaire finalist, who fled to his native Canada on foot last week.

“The sadness of all this is that Mr. Jenkins will not be standing before an Orange County jury for his crime,” Buena Park Police Lt. Steve Holliday said in a press conference last night.

“The sadness of all this is that Mr. Jenkins will not be standing before an Orange County jury for his crime,” Buena Park Police Lt. Steve Holliday said in a press conference last night.

“Megan Wants A Millionaire” was immediately yanked after only a few episodes aired. And of course it was before you can find out who Megan picked. Ryan was slated to go on the third season of I Love of Money, and then that show was also canceled.

So what did VH1 have to say about all this?

VH1 was quoted by the Washington Post:

 ”Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on “Megan Wants a Millionaire” — an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1.”

Hmm, so who didn’t do their homework here? I guess 51 Minds has some explaining to do? One has to wonder just how indepth these background checks were of the seventeen contestants prior to the show? Just because you are a millionaire doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be fully screened. The name Phil Spector comes to mind.

Or perhaps 51 Minds is off the hook, especially if Ryan had no prior history of violence. Seems odd though that this would be the first time that he ever lashed out at a woman. People like this usually have a history of abuse. I wonder if any other cases of abuse will come forward and shed more light on his past. It’s also possible he could have hired an accomplice. A man with his financial means could very easily have done so. It’s also being reported this gruesome story will unfold further, as more evidence is brought forward concerning one of Ryan’s cars.

So where is Megan in all this? 

Did the producers of 51 Minds put her in harm’s way? I’d say so. She probably had to sign all sorts of waivers before doing the show, so they would not be liable for anything, but this case is certainly frightening and has highly unusual circumstances, and if she has the right lawyer, as they say…. contracts are made to be broken.

So perhaps Megan will become a millionaire herself now via a lawsuit?  If not for negligence by the producers for putting her in harm’s way, but perhaps financial loss? She must have lost out on a butt-load of cash from the royalties from the show? And there will also be no reunion show. This has also put a big dent in any residuals that she would have received from the show marketing, like photos or appearances with her newly selected millionaire. Maybe VH1 had a spin off show on the horizon for Megan’s life with her new millionaire. Maybe it’s still forth coming. After all she did pick someone. But who?

Yeah.. I know how fake all this reality stuff is, and only one couple in the history of reality shows has ever stayed together. Fans are probably wondering what will happen. I am not sure how all this works, but it seems like there is a lawsuit in there somewhere.

Although this women makes me cringe, and as much as I can’t stand her with her shallow ideals and the way she speaks with EVERY one of her “S’s” overly enunciated until it sounds like steam escaping – which hurts my ears — I wouldn’t wish any harm to anyone.

Looks like Megan made the right choice in not picking Ryan. Which is why Megan is still alive today and thankfully her dog Lilly still has her Mommy to care for her. Perhaps Megan can now pursue her dream of helping “mentally challenged dogs”, which is what she said she would do with the winnings if she won the “I Love Money” show that she was previously on. She has of course, lost that chance. 

Megan once mentioned that her adopted dog Lilly jumped out of her arms when she was puppy and fell and that the fall could have contributed to Lilly’s state of mind today. Megan has said that she also jumped out of her mother’s arms when she was a baby. Hmmm… that explains a lot.

Megan has had troubles with many women in the past, including Sharon Osbourne, wife of Ozzy. The two got in an awful tiff over a lousy comment that Megan had made about Sharon’s ”Prince of Darknesshubby. Even before then, Sharon was not too tickled with the likes of Megan. When Sharon hosted Charm School, she was quoted as saying:

“”She does have a pretty damn good body, but no f***ing brain. Her brain is between her legs.”

Yikes… Well maybe Megan is some how humbled by this experience. Perhaps she has learned that money is in fact the root to all evil? NAH!!

One of these stories I can get totally behind, the other brings a herp infected tear to my eye.

In our house, the viewing habits center around the weird, creepy, paranormal and freakish. In the past six months we have watched every episode of Supernatural, Reaper, True Blood, Lost and Dead Like Me. Not to mention Ghost Adventures and now, Ghost Hunters International. There’s some kind of theme here, but I think for the sake of all involved we’ll just skip that part.

We are pretty obsessed with TrueBlood, an HBO original series centered around the fictional sleepy Louisiana town of Bon Temps, which is based on a series of books by Charlaine Harris, The Southern Vampire Mysteries. The series is a supernatural bonanza featuring a world filled with vampires, shape-shifters, Dionysus goddesses, telepaths, fairies and humans — Southern gothic culture on the skids!

The show, which has become wildly popular, is in its second season, and stars Oscar-winning actress Anna Paquin (The Piano) as telepath Sookie Stackhouse, and up and coming British actor Stephen Moyer, as Bill “Vampire Bill” Compton. Sometime during the filming of the show, Anna/Stephen, Bill/Sookie began dating, making their on-screen romance that much more electrified — the latest news is Stephen and Anna are now engaged. Awwww… From the NYDN:

It’s true love for “True Blood” co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.

The real-life couple, who play lovers in the hit HBO vampire series, are engaged to be married, reps for both actors confimed to People.com.

Paquin, 27, will be playing stepmom to Moyer’s two children – his 9-year-old son Billy and 7-year-old daughter Lilac – from a previous marriage.

Now with marriage in their future, fans of the co-stars can expect the chemistry on-screen to continue in the show’s frequent nude scenes.

“Obviously, if you’re already with that person then you’re not having to sort of get over the ‘Wow, I’m naked with someone that I don’t even know the middle name of!’” said the actress.

As for Moyer, 39, his feelings are mutual: “My girl is hardcore.”

Despite what seems like a hokey concept, this show is well acted and well written — and the sex scenes are pretty awesome. If only porn were this interesting!

It’s not often (in fact NEVER) I sign on to a Hollywood romance, especially one with a 12-year age difference, but I have good feelings about these two and I wish them all the best. Let’s just hope Sheriff Eric doesn’t come between them (a little True Blood insider talk.) Seriously, if you aren’t watching this show, then you get a big fat fail.

Now, on to the really, really, really, really bad news.

The other show we watch religiously (pun intended) is the CW’s Supernatural, which centers around two “demon hunting” brothers Sam and Dean Winchester, played by two of the sexiest male specimens to walk the earth, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles.

Yet another menagerie of otherworldly creatures plague the brothers, though in this case it’s of biblical proportions, featuring an epic battle between heaven and hell, with Sam and Dean caught in the middle trying to save earth from the Apocalyptic future which may or may not await us. Tune in next week.

Jared and Jensen of “Supernatural” — Hells YES!

Supernatural is great because of a tight script, attention to irony, visceral violence and lots of gore. Did I mention the tasty hotness of Jared and Jensen? Yeah, there’s that.

This series is in its fifth season and the battle between the demons and angels is heating up, and there are many twists and turns as the various seals to hell are broken. In comes the bad news, according to news reports, the vilest creature to walk among us, Paris Hilton, will be making a guest star appearance on Supernatural, which can only mean the final seal of hell is broken and the four horses are upon us. More from
E!Online:

This is going to be hilarious.

Sources tell us exclusively that celebutante Paris Hilton is going to guest star in episode five of Supernatural this season.

Should you freak out? Is she going to be a love interest for the boys? Here’s what we’re hearing…

Details about Hilton’s role are being kept under wraps, but we are advised that freaking out is not necessary. A source close to the show tells us: “The fans should trust [show runner] Eric Kripke.” (We’ve heard the storyline, and when you see it you will die. It’s awesome.)

Supernatural season five premieres Thursday, Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. on the CW.

Well, everyone wants to know how fans feel about this casting decision and all I have to say is, Paris is already an abomination to man and God, so it was simply a matter of time before Hollywood found a way to rid us of one of the plague manifestations which loomed on the horizon, the dreaded HERPETITISYPHILISCHLAMDIONERREA.

Now, if only they could find a role for Lindsay Lohan, the CDC might be able to concentrate on finding a cure for H1N1.

Update on Paris Hilton’s Supernatural guest appearance from TVOverMind.com:

Eric Kripke loves to frak with his legion of Supernatural fans. Last year he had the audacity to ‘go there’ and introduce a lost brother for Sam and Dean, a move that many fans had earmarked as the only event that could potentially see Supernatural ‘jump the shark,’ a fact he acknowledged by including the phrase in the title of the episode. Now Kripke is torturing fans with the news that he has cast anti-celeb Paris Hilton in a fifth season episode of Supernatural. As usual, though, Kripke is hoping fans will trust his instincts.

More details have come to the surface about just what ‘role’ Paris will play, and it seems that Paris may be playing one of the most vicious blood-sucking, soul destroying beasts ever: herself. Okay, not literally, but a demonic baddy that takes on the form of Paris Hilton. Are you starting to see the possibilities here? With a show like Supernatural, that isn’t afraid to title episodes like “Criss Angel is a Douchebag” that feature a thinly veiled effigy of their ‘victim,’ you can expect to see Supernatural pull out the stops when it comes to skewering Hilton. This could be a catharsis for us all.

Producer Sera Gamble confirmed that thought to Chi-Trib’s Mo Ryan. “We’re very excited that she said yes. She plays the role of a demonic creature that takes the form of… Paris Hilton. If you know our style, you know we go pretty funny and irreverent with this stuff, so–expect that. The fact that she wanted to do the episode speaks volumes about her sense of humor. She’s flat-out awesome for playing along. You’ll see.”

Oooo-kay. I have trust issues, but I will withhold criticism, but only if they promise to stake her heart (er, I mean her character of course), shoot her with a silver bullet, spray her with holy water, speckle her with rocksalt — and last, but certainly not least — piss on her ashes.

Then it will be a “cathartic” moment. I knew she’d be some kind of vile creature. It’s that life imitating art thing.

Madonna’s Smirk Says It All

I promised myself I wouldn’t write about Madonna, ’cause she just makes me retch, but sometimes you must break your own rules in the interest of the public.

I could never stand Ms. Phony Pants, right down to the way she speaks. Despite her preposterously pretentious name, was one of six kids born in Bay City Michigan for Heaven’s sake. Her father was Italian and her Mom French Canadian, so I don’t have a clue where she came up with that lame accent — likely the same Fantasy Land she also lives in.

So as much as I try to ignore her, I couldn’t resist poking fun at her shacking up with Jesus…Jesus Luz that is. Jesus is a 22-year old Brazilian model who has been seen all over the place with Madonna including a trip to Madrid, touring the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace.

Back in March of 2009, Madonna and Jesus appeared in a steamy 46-page photo shoot in W Magazine which showed her frolicking in a hotel bed with Jesus. He has his name tattooed on his back, perhaps, just in case he forgets it. Or maybe in case Madonna forgets it. I also noticed she was wearing a cross around her neck in some of the shots. Perfect!

But hey, Madonna is a walking contradiction. Do you remember when said she didn’t want her children watching TV? I guess she forgot it was the early MTV’s videos on which put her on the map to stardom. If kids were not allowed to watch TV back in the 80’s, maybe Madonna would still be in Bay City Michigan. Ahhh…wistful thinking

So I guess TV is out, but boy toys and steamy photo shoots are ok? Not to mention all the other questionable crap she has done after she had kids. Her last photo shoot for her 11th album “Hard Candy” was certainly a trip to Sluttown. She even named her tour Sticky and Sweet.  What is up with all these sexual innuendos?  Does Madoona still think this is hot? It may have worked in her younger years, but now, it’s getting sad and the time has come to put that thang away.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not a prude in any sense. But when you have children involved, it gets to a point were you just have to grow up and get some class girl. How can someone write childrens book and then go out on stage and hump a guitar? What are her kids going through? I can just hear one of her daughter’s friends: “Hey Lourdes! (ugh, hate the name) your Mom can really hump a mean guitar!”

From Sean Pean, to Dennis Rodman, to porn star Tony Ward to Guy Ritchie, and asking David Letterman to smell her underwear on TELEVISON (maybe that’s why she didn’t want her kids watching Mommy on TV) to kissing Britney Spears, and now a boytoy named Jesus? We get it Madonna, you are SO shocking. *Yawn*

As much as we wish Madonna would embrace her 50’s with class and dignity, it looks like this cougar is just getting started. In fact, Madonna may be the ultimate cougar, with 28 years between she and her latest sex-toy Jesus, putting Demi Moore to shame, with only 15 years between she and her hubby Ashton Kutcher.

And at the risk of getting nasty comments suggesting if Madonna were a man, nobody would say anything about her newest boy toy, you’d be WRONG. While part of me says, get it while you can, and the other part of me just says ewwwwwww because well…were talking about Madonna, and for some reason, she just seems a bit long in the tooth to be pulling her “Like A Virgin” routine. Again. And again.

Come Here Jesus And Give Mommy Some Sugar

It’s anyone’s guess what Madonna will come up with next, or who she will be “frolicking” with, but I only hope for her kid’s sake that she decides to clean it up a bit. With two African adoptions under her belt, her attentions are elsewhere. So THANK YOU JESUS…Jesus Luz that is.

If your planning a trip to the Big Apple, perhaps you might fancy a celebrity to show you around town? Who wouldn’t like that? Well, it’s completley possible now. Huh? Yep! I kid you not. A company called The Big Apple Greeters has been hooking up celebs with tourists to really give them a big welcome to New York City. One couple who participated in a tour, even had lunch with their celeb!
Now before you start thinking that this little outing would only be  a pipe dream because it would be way out of your price range, think again… IT’S ABSOLUTELY FREE!
What’s the catch? NONE! Well, of course they are not going to pay for your hotel or how you get there. DUH. But the tour is FREE!

The Big Apple Greeters have been around since 1992, and have volunteers showing out of towners their neighborhoods, and other places of interest. But now the greeters include volunteer celebrities. Tiki Barber and Sopranos star Dominic Chianese were on hand at City Hall recently to advertise that they are more than willing to hang out with people for the day. How cool is that?
I am sure NY would be a lot more fun if Dominic aka Corrado Jr. Soprano who was born and raised in the Bronx showed you around the Bronx and then shared a plate of ronies and some Chianti after. Salute!

The Associated Press reported:

NYC group offers literal way to follow the stars.
Tourists like to spot celebrities in New York City. Now they can hang out with them.
A volunteer tour organization called Big Apple Greeters is offering free personalized tours led by celebrities. Former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber and “Sopranos” star Dominic Chianese were at City Hall on Wednesday to advertise their services.

Barber says he recently showed a Colorado couple around town and had lunch with them at one of his favorite spots.

Chianese says he loves New York and wants to show visitors a good time.

Organizers say celebrity hosts can’t be requested and will be randomly assigned. The tours are free.

Really, how can you beat this offer? Someone can show you NY who really knows and loves the area, you get to meet a celebrity and hang out, take some pics to show off your friends and family and again, it is FREE!
Sounds like it’s too good to be true!
But don’t take my word for it, you can visit their website and see for yourself.

Some snippets from the Big Apple Greeters website:

Founded in 1992 with a mission to enhance New York City’s worldwide image and enrich the New York experience by connecting visitors with knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers. Big Apple Greeter’s core program is its free-of-charge Greeter program which connects visitors with New Yorkers of all ages, conversant in over 20 languages. Greeters, who are all volunteers, accompany visitors on 2-4 hour informal visits to New York City’s neighborhoods in all five boroughs.

Big Apple Greeter is a non-profit organization that matches visitors with friendly and enthusiastic New Yorkers who are happy to share the city they love. A wonderful experience for families, friends and individuals traveling solo, Greeters help travelers feel welcome and get more from their stay in the Big Apple.

The New Yorkers who serve as Greeters are all volunteers, come from varied backgrounds and can welcome visitors in 22 languages. The office staff, also mostly volunteers, matches Greeters to visitors according to language, neighborhoods requested, and interests, when possible.

Who knows, maybe you will get the chance to be rub elbows with Donald Trump over some caviar in the city that never sleeps! Well I wouldn’t consider that much of a treat, and I highly doubt The Donald (eeew) would volunteer his precious time, of course unless it involved making him money in some way. For me? I would rather hang with Dominic Chianese any day.
I think this is a GREAT program and I totally approve! And the FREE part aint’ so bad either!

The Big Apple Awaits You!

News broke yesterday about famed celebrity biographer Andrew Morton’s new book subject, Angelina Jolie. While we had sources confirm this to us a while back, Glosslip is like the Fort Knox of secrets and we keep ours close to the vest.

Andrew Morton, who made headlines in 2008 with his controversial unauthorized Tom Cruise biography, is embarking on what might be the biggest challenge in his literary career. And that’s saying something, considering Morton is the man behind the Princess Diana story, telling of her private pain as Princess of Wales, as well as having made a permanent enemy of Madonna by revealing her many controlling ways and exposing the behind the scenes secrets of Presidential mistress Monica Lewinsky. Morton has secured his place in the best-seller hall of fame with his series of thoughtfully researched (and unauthorized) biographies.

We were able to track down the reclusive writer and get a statement on this new book (which we CAN’T WAIT to read). When I asked Morton why he chose the relatively young, but attention-getting Jolie, Morton had this to say:

“AJ is one of the most fascinating women on the planet. Hers has been an extraordinary journey and it is an extraordinary story. I am looking forward to telling it.”

Short and sweet, but concise. Angelina, already known for her wild behavior, strange relationships and humanitarian work, became an international celebrity sensation when she was linked to mega star Brad Pitt (when he was still married!)

There has been endless speculation and fascination surrounding Jolie’s role in the demise of one of Hollywood’s golden couples, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, who divorced in 2005 coincidentally, after Pitt and Jolie teamed up to work on the hit movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Here’s more on the new project and Morton from the Telegraph:

Miss Jolie’s colourful life will provide plenty of material. Twice divorced, she has had a long-running feud with actor father Jon Voight and has adopted a string of children.

Professionally, she has risen to become one of Hollywood’s leading actresses, starring in films including Lara Croft Tomb Raider, A Mighty Heart, The Good Shepherd and Changeling. It was on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith that she met her now partner, Brad Pitt, with whom she has adopted several children.

The couple are also famed for their humanitarian work in the world’s trouble spots and Miss Jolie is a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.

Mr Morton’s unauthorised book about the star will reportedly be produced by US publishing giant St. Martin’s Press next winter.

His previous work includes the 1992 exposé Diana, Her True Story, for which the Princess of Wales was later revealed to have been the main source.

More recently, a biography of Tom Cruise brought legal threats after Morton suggested the Top Gun star had tailored his life to helping further the cause of the Church of Scientology and had become its de-facto second-in-command.

Mr Cruise has vehemently denied Morton’s allegations

There is zero doubt that Morton will shed some much needed light into many of the untruths spread by Angelina Jolie’s PR machine and we should expect to find some secrets revealed about her and Brad’s intimate relationship, most especially, when it REALLY began and how far they were both willing to go to protect their reputations, while deftly throwing Brad’s ex, Jennifer Aniston under the bus!

Stay tuned for more on this book!

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen got married in Los Angeles last night according to Us Magazine. Despite rumors of their engagement in December, the couple repeatedly denied the news. Apparently they think we are all dumb-dumbs.

I normally love hearing about blessed events like weddings and births, but in Hollywood, these events are attached to stigmas of divorce rates in the 80% (just speculating that figure on empirical data) and ugly custody battles, so forgive my dampened enthusiasm. To make matters worse, this particular coupling already had built in scandal, as Gisele and Tom began dating when he’d already knocked up actress Bridget Moynahan. SHADY!! So in this case, we have two hos and baby!

More nonsense from Us:

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady wed today at the St. Monica Catholic Church in Santa Monica, Calif., Usmagazine.com confirms.

The bride, 28, donned a form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.

The ceremony — which began at dusk — was “very small and intimate,” a source tells Us, adding that guests mostly consisted of immediate family. Brady’s son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, was also present.

(Fitting, as Bundchen once described her ideal wedding as “a simple ceremony…I don’t like parties, I prefer something more intimate, just for the closest people.”)

Reps did not immediately return calls.

The Brazilian-born supermodel has been dating the New England Patriots quarterback, 31, since 2006.

A pal close to the couple told Us Bundchen and Brady are perfect together.

“She’s definitely ‘The One,’” the source said. “She really makes him comfortable and just happy.”

And the bride wore white? Nervy! And of course she’s the one, they’re all the one, until they aren’t. I’m sure Bridget thought she was the “one” when Tom impregnated her. Congrats you two sluts! Here’s to hoping your union lasts longer most.

Wow.  You know it’s got to be bad when one of your own fan clubs turns on you.

Over at sienna-miller.org, a fan site devoted to the actress, it seems that the person running it has had enough of Sienna’s shenanigans and is jumping ship:

It must be obvious that my heart has not been in this site for the past couple of years. This is due to several reasons, the main ones being the loss of Katy and Maddie from the site staff, a lack of time, and how Sienna has changed. Regarding the change in Sienna, I know others at the forum feel the same, and while some may argue she has simply grown up and reacted to events in a normal way, I cannot get past the fact that to me she has completely changed from the Sienna I became a fan of back in 2004. I don’t say that lightly because (believe it or not) I do still have a lot of respect for Sienna and still consider myself a supportive fan.

I’ve tried to forget about that and update whenever I can (although yes, that has not been much!) … however, recent events – that of Sienna’s affair with a married father of 4 and extremely public PDA’s – have heightened my lack of interest in the site and Sienna. We do not know the whole story behind this affair, and some may argue it is not our place to judge BUT when Sienna can cavort so publicly and so shamelessly with this man who IS married and does have 4 children (including a baby only a few months old) with his wife, my respect for her goes out of the window. One minute she says she wants to be taken seriously as an actress and she’s sick of all the false stories about her in the press … and the next she’s topless on a beach with a married man’s hands all over her – come on Sienna, you know the paparazzi are going to be around. If she was serious about being taken seriously she would, well, not display herself so publicly like this.

I do have a huge amount of respect for Sienna’s career – I think she chooses fantastic roles and I am genuinely excited to see how her career is going to progress. However, unfortunately her career is always going to take a back seat to the tabloid rubbish, and no matter how hard we try to avoid the gossip we just can’t.

Therefore I am looking for someone to become a co-webmistress/master here at Sienna Online. You will be responsible for keeping not only the gallery, but also the news and all other content up-to-date. You need to have excellent sources, be willing to buy magazines to scan etc., have a similar ‘work ethic’ to me (ie must like original content etc!) and have time to update regularly/at least a few times each week. You must be able to keep up with everything in Sienna-world. To apply just send me an email. I’m aware I have asked for this a few times before and never actually got back to anyone – that is because no-one has fully fitted the bill.

If I do not find someone suitable soon, then I’m sad to say that Sienna Online will be closing. I am reluctant to close because of the work that has gone into this site over the years, the fact that we have been here since Sienna’s career first took off, and because we are the only website with complete, in depth content. However, I’m at a point now where I would close the site if I can’t find someone to run it properly, like it deserves.

Wow.  Sienna has fans?  I thought they would have all bailed by this point.

To get you up to speed, Sienna was caught cavorting on the beaches of Italy with Balthazar Getty, very married actor and father of four shortly after dumping boyfriend Rhys Ifans.  To some, this was a case of life imitating life, as one of the reasons she and Jude Law separated was because of his affair with his kids’ nanny.  Her “friendly” ways may have contributed as well.  She’s also been romantically linked to various other men/co-stars.  She’s just real friendly!

So anyway, the position as Sienna’s fan is open.  I’d go apply for it myself, but…I don’t like Sienna Miller.  I think that kind of disqualifies me.  So, I am passing along this golden opportunity to you.  Here’s a dream job just chock-full of opportunity for advancement…that is, if you’re married.  And kind of cute.  And male.  Well, perhaps not necessarily.

(btw, the post on the Sienna Miller fan site was made August 6, and it is now September 30.  Seems the position is still open.  Ain’t sayin’, just sayin’.)

Joss Stone is not top on my list of musicians. She seems quite contrived, she tries too hard, she’s not Janis Joplin and last, but not least, she apparently uses her feminine wiles in exchange for hit songs. So right off the bat, she gets a thumbs down and a wet raspberry from me. So it was with great sadness I heard that hotass mo, rapper Nelly is dating this “alleged” musical depository.

See Nelly and I have a special relationship. He writes hip-hop/rap music that a rhythm-less white person like myself can enjoy and appreciate, he takes his shirt off for gratuitous shots of his most sexy bod and in general, he seems like a really nice sort of guy. Nelly’s sister, Jackie died of leukemia in 2005, despite Nelly’s greatest efforts to find bone marrow donors to save her life through a foundation he set up, “Jes Us For Jackie“. Nelly and sister were close and her death hit him really hard.

Perhaps in his extended grief, he has lost his mind, because according to HolyMoly (via Dlisted), Nelly has been dating Joss Stone.

Here’s more from HolyMoly!:

Soul singer Joss, affectionally known to some as, ‘will f*ck for tracks’ Stone, is reportedly dating rapper Nelly. Joss, who was recently rumoured to have offered more than just her voice to producer Mark Ronson, (which he later denied) has apparently been on a number of dates with the man responsible for ‘Hot in Herre.’

Joss had previously joked (although she doesn’t look like she has much of a sense of humour) that she may become a lesbian because of the trouble she was having finding a man. But surely a woman would find her just as annoying.

Joss had said:

“Every girl my age wants to be in a relationship. I haven’t had one in two years. I think I’ll have to turn lesbian.”

But that was before Nelly came along, the lucky sod. A source said:

“Joss and Nelly have been out on a few dates together. It’s early days but we haven’t seen Joss this happy in quite a long time. It’s great she has met someone as successful as she is and who understands the pressures being a performer can put on your life.”

And also the pressure of not being as successful as you once were.

The source continued:

“And it helps that he is hot too – he is just her type.”

Well, he is in the music industry after all…

Look, anyone with the skillz to make her not look like a grasping for straws attention-ho she is, is her type. If she wants to bump nasties with Mark Ronson, Justin Timberlake and Tiny Tim, hey it’s all good, but back away from the Nelly little Miss Skanky-pants, I called dibs. And here’s a little something to savor, including some Tim McGraw for k

Sidenote: I wonder if Mark Ronson was referring to another soul singer named AMY WINEHOUSE. Although I would think he would have said “twitchy, crack-weaved cracksinger” instead of “boring, bland soul chick”. Those two did have a bit of a falling out over the Bond theme song a while back. And Amy’s known for falling down on penises other than her Blaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkeeeeeeee!
