Sarah Palin’s “Going Rogue” Book… Bestseller Or Doorstop?


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!

George Clooney Suing Italian Magazines For Sleazy Pictures

 

George Clooney is hopping mad. Apparently photographers climbed over the wall of his Italian estate and snapped some pictures that ended up published in two magazines. The pictures were of a topless 13 year old girl changing in one of the guest rooms of the estate. The thirteen year old was the daughter of Clooney’s house guest. Photographers also snapped pictures of Clooney and new gal pal hottie, Sardinian TV presenter, Elisabetta Canalis sharing a few moments in his yard.

etonline:

ET has learned that George Clooney will file suit against two magazines and a photographer after photos of a 13-year-old guest in his Italian home were taken and published.
The actor released the following statement to ET:

“We’re suing two magazines AND a photographer. I don’t know about the law in the United States but in Italy it’s illegal for photographers to climb over my wall and to take long lens pictures of a 13-year-old girl in her bedroom. I draw the line of privacy at that.”
The shots were published in two magazines. Keep checking back here for the latest details on this story.

Clooney’s summer home is a 15 room estate in Laglio called Villa Oleandra on Lake Como which he bought for a little over seven million from John Kerry. I am sure the property has doubled if not tripled in value by now.
This little bungalow,*snicker* has been SO advertised over the years, it is not a secret where Clooney likes to stay and play while in Italy. It also happens to sit on a Lake Como where anyone is free to travel on. Just one trip to YouTube revealed SEVERAL videos of Clooney’s estate from several people.

Clooney also did an Italian Fiat commercial in the past, and was interviewed at his estate not only by Italian reporters when he was promoting Good Night and Good Luck, but also filmed an entire interview with Diane Sawyer for ABC.

So my question is, did Clooney really think that having such a publicized estate would not blow up in his face some day?  Now I am of course not defending the photogrpahers taking pictures at all, but his residence has been so HIGHLY publicized, you would think at the very least he could of invested in some curtains or some blinds for all the windows? Or if he does have them for all the windows, he should tell people using his estate to close them while  they are changing? If you look at his estate in the picture above, you can see many windows lack any privacy. It’s a shame that celebrities can not buy a home and enjoy it in private, but everyone knows unfortunately that  being hounded is part of the not so fun world of being in the lime light.

Supposedly, Clooney was thinking of selling this Summer estate, when the Mayor of Laglio had big plans to include building a parking lot complete with lifts and moving walkways across the street from the village, as well as a floating bridge that would pass close to Clooney’s villa, Clooney said no dice. Clooney was so opposed to the plans, he joined a committee with locals to have the plans haulted. In 2007, he was quoted as saying:

“I don’t want my presence here to be a pain to the other citizens, but if you ask me these proposals are in every probability just to exploit the fact that I live here,”
“I have no problems with plans that are welcomed by the rest of the community,” he continued. “I am more than happy to sell up and move elsewhere — this project is absurd.”

The mayor did listen, and stopped the plans and stated:

“I decided to give up the project,” adding that Clooney is one of the village’s most beloved residents. “To mister Clooney we gave the honorary citizenship. We all are proud of his choice to live here on Lake Como.”

So kudos for Clooney for keeping Laglio the quaint place that it remains, but with this new development, honorary citizen or not….Clooney may feel that it may be better to pack up and move to a more private area, away from prying eyes.

I do think that Clooney should have kept his estate purchase a little bit more secretive and not publicize it as much as he did. People have camped out around his property to try to catch a glimpse, and security has even resorted to throwing apples at people to shoo them away. Although even with beefed up security, I still don’t see how that would stop tourists or others from taking a camera with a powerful lense and snapping some pictures from a boat on the lake. People can take site seeing tours on the lake. And let’s not forget high power binoculars too. Besides the fact that Clooney has had many famous pals visiting him, and recently offered his estate to David Beckham to stay in. So the photo ops for some juicy and very sellable photos are endless.

If you go to the Clooney Unlmited website, (I never knew this website existed, and it’s a bit obsessive to say the least) you will see TONS of pictures of Clooney in Lake Como. Clooney on his motorcycle, Clooney on his boat, Clooney swimming, you name it. The Mayor of Laglio even declared that Clooney’s estate was off limits and that anyone who did not abide by the ordinance, would be fined:

And the decision of the First citizen to sign an urgent, “with immediate effect and until a new provision – we read – there is no parking near the entrance of Villa Oleandra and related appliances (inputs Villa Margherita and properties up the road 71 Old Queen) and the formation of Capannelli 2 or more people in the stretch of road from the Queen of Laglio pier to the end of the house owned by Margaret and parking in the square of Soldino place in front of villa Oleandra. The order has no value for citizens or residents in the town of Laglio. For offenders, a minimum fine of 19 euro will be the warning, but to repeat the amount could rise rapidly.

Well I guess that didn’t work.
AGAIN, maybe an easier solution would be to make sure that all blinds are kept closed.When Clooney buys his next estate, perhaps he should try to keep the purchase more on the DL and close the damn blinds!


By Golly These Things Really Do Work!

Brad Pitt Too Full Of Himself To Talk To Paps Who Helped Him Out

pitt

WTF has happened to Brad Pitt?

TMZ  reported that Brad’s bike broke down and one of the paps was kind enough to offer him a ride to a meeting he was late for.

It was all caught on vid.

While the pap was driving Brad to his meeting, he tried to make casual conversation with Brad and asks him to say hello to the camera. Brad does say hello, but when the driver asks him what happened to his bike, Brad says:

“No. It’s not an interview man.”

Well excccuuuuuseeee me! Dumb ass Brad didn’t realize the cameras where still rolling in the car and keeps telling the driver it’s not an interview over and over and says he’ll walk to his meeting. If Brad would have just made small talk and appreciated their help like any other normal human being, this story would have been about how cool of a guy Brad was. But NO.

Brad, who really should now change his name to Bradley, was too busy being late for his meeting and obviously too big of a star now to talk to the lowly paps who were kind enough to give him a ride and get him to his meeting on time. So it looks like Karma caught up with Bradley, for all the world to see.

He acted like a total ungrateful pompous prick, and now everybody knows it.  Yeah, that’s right, I said it. And Bradley….what is up with your giant sunglasses? Hello? Fashion Police! They remind me of the huge sunglasses that little old ladies wear. Did Angelina pick those out for you?

pittt

Bradley’s pompous behavior is a far cry from when normal Brad dressed up in a monkey suit with the gang from Jackass
and filmed Night Monkey 2 a few years back. I guess he didn’t mind being filmed in a monkey suit while jumping into garbage pails. Brad went skateboarding, jumping into trash cans and causing total mayhem and had a blast doing it.

Click this link, it’s WAY worth a look if you haven’t seen it. It shows a younger, more down to earth and playful Brad Pitt.

I am not saying that stars should be jumping into trash cans in monkey suits. But some  stars need to remember that they are not God’s gift. I’ll take the old Brad Pitt any day. I used to think he was pretty dreamy in some of his movies. But now that he is known as Brangelina, he just makes me nauseated. And don’t get me started on wifey-poo. *wretch*

It looks like BRADLEY is the real JACKASS these days.  And oh yeah… thanks a lot Angelina!

Madonna Takes A Spill, While Former Chef Spills On Her Parenting Skills

madhorse05ent_400

Madonna, she catch a break these days. Unless you count the one she took on her arse this weekend in the Hamptons. Don’t worry, our favorite pentagenarian isn’t too injured from her fall off a horse, but her ego might be a little bruised.

Madonna, who took up horseback riding a few years ago after moving across the pond to England, has had horsey troubles before. Back in 2005 the singer broke several ribs after a bad fall, and that experience may have even been the beginning of the end of her marriage to Guy Ritchie. The couple’s divorce finalized in early January of this year.

Madonna’s long-time publicist Liz Rosenberg claims Madonna’s horse was startled by a photographer whom she claims jumped out of the bushes and this caused her fall, but according to the alleged pap and the Southampton Police, this was not the case. More from the NY Daily News:

The 50-year-old pop star was asked how she was doing after a night recuperating at pal Gwyneth Paltrow’s estate.

“Better,” she replied.

Madonna’s camp claims her prior encounter with a photographer didn’t go quite so nicely.

Spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg claimed her superstar client was thrown when a photog jumped out of a patch of bushes and startled her horse, sending her flying.

But freelance photographer Thomas Hinton claims he played no role in Madonna’s mishap – a position supported by the Southampton Village Police Department.

Hinton told The News he shot some frames of Madonna riding her horse about 3:50 p.m. Saturday, but took off soon after because he didn’t have a good vantage point.

Hinton returned more than 40 minutes later when he got tipped off that Madonna had had an accident, he says.

“I arrived more than 10 minutes after she fell, and I was shooting from the street,” Hinton said. “I don’t know what [Rosenberg] is talking about.

Horse falls happen to the best of riders, so I don’t see why Madonna would bother to lie about it, then again, her ego is the size of Long Island, so there’s that to take into consideration.

What is NOT the size of Long Island is the time and effort Madonna is willing to put into parenting her children, at least according to her former chef and house manager Eric Lenco. According to the former employee, Madonna’s a great mom, when she’s around, which he says is hard for her to squeeze in between yoga, pilates, and her career.

madonna-kids

Eric Lenco, who worked for Madonna as her cook and housekeeper, has given his thoughts on Madonna’s current appeals to adopt a fourth child.

He said: “When she’s with the children, she is a devoted mum. She just doesn’t spend much time with them. It’s a puzzle why she wants to adopt again. She’s hardly ever with her children. She’s got two full-time nannies and one part-time nanny. So why adopt a kid when somebody else is raising them?”

“She gets up and has a coffee, then she does two hours of yoga,” he says. “Then there’s two hours of pilates and exercise. That’s six days a week. After that she deals with her email, her calls and the rest of her business. And after that, she spends maybe half an hour with the kids. Madonna puts herself before the kids. When she adopted little David, he arrived at her home from Africa, and three hours later, she left to do pilates. Wouldn’t you think she’d want to spend the entire day with her new son?”

The ex-cook also says her previous adoption led to the end of her marriage. “Madonna thought [David] would bring them together, but Guy was dead against adopting, so, for the marriage, it was the final nail in the coffin.”

This should be a shock to no one, most especially for Madonna herself. She long ago blamed her failed marriage to first hubby Sean Penn on her inability to devote time and attention to a relationship, and practically brags about how self-involved she is. Why on earth would someone that selfish want to bring another child into their life? Especially a child who would desperately need some serious one-on-one attention for any kind of proper bonding to occur.

Riches and luxury are great, but they are no replacement for love, nurturing and parental attention. Workaholics and attention whores like Madonna and Angelina Jolie should really think twice before sucking innocent children into their crazy, ego-centric world.

Britney Spears Ex-Beau Pays For When He Rammed Ram

adnan
Scruffy pap Adnan Ghalib, Britney’s former squeeze, probably wishes he had invested in some anger management classes.

Last February, Adnan allegedly tried to hit process server Ram Moskowitz with his car when Moskowitz was trying to serve him a restraining order on Britney’s behalf. Well now, he has been slapped with a lawsuit for his little hissy-fit.

According to E! Online

britadnan

The complaint, filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court by Ram Moskowitz, claims he was intentionally hit by the 36-year-old Ghalib’s car while waiting outside his Burbank apartment.

The process server suffered cuts, abrasions and a fractured wrist in the attack but refused medical treatment when cops arrived.

Moskowitz claims that Ghalib drove at a high rate of speed and zig-zagged across an alley while he was still on perched on the hood of Ghalib’s car. The plaintiff says he held onto the hood but eventually was thrown from the Mercedes, crashing onto the pavement and “sustaining myriad physical injuries.”

“It was a very frightening, scary incident and he’s lucky to be alive,” Moskowitz’s attorney, David Olson, told E! News Thursday. “He’s lucky and Mr. Ghalib is lucky.”

Ghalib, who has since been barred from having any contact with Spears for three years, has pleaded not guilty to felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon, battery and hit-and-run. His next court date in the criminal case is scheduled for May 4.

Moskowitz’s civil suit seeks unspecified damages for assault, battery, negligence and both intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. But if Ghalib, a British-raised Afghan citizen, winds up being deported, the process server might very well end up with nada.

Just this past April, Adnan turned in his gun, in compliance with the THREE YEAR restraining order filed on Britney’s behalf. Sounds like a good idea? eh?

In the video, reporters were asking Adnan why he still keeps texting Britney and how does it feel to have the cameras turned on him now. Somehow he manages to keep his mouth shut, unlike lots of dimwitted celebs we know ;)

Let’s be frank here, this guy is NOT on the up and up. In fact, he sends a shiver up my spine, and even though it was Britney’s choice to see “Mr. Creepy” in the first place, let’s hope this is the last that Britney has to deal with him.

Britney still needs time to heal from the various mental issues she was facing during the tumultuous period of her life in which people like Adnan, and Osama bin Loopy were pulling the strings. These days, Britney seems to be in a better place and she can now hopefully get on with her kooky, sordid life.

Two Octuplets Go Home: Press Goes Totally Insane

 

Come on, people…it isn’t like Britney is inside there.  This is a “You Can’t Fix Stupid” moment on so many levels.

Octomom Nadya Suleman brought home two of the strongest octuplets last night amid a swarm of crazed photographers and paparazzi and lookie-loos creating havoc in the streets and generally acting like complete fools:

It should have been one of the happiest days of her life.  Instead, Octo-mom Nadya Suleman felt she had to call police to control the chaos when she brought two of her octuplets home from the hospital Tuesday night.

First, overly aggressive paparazzi followed Nadya’s vehicle as she traveled from Kaiser Permanente Medical Center to her new home in La Habra California.
When the vehicle stopped at red lights, at least a dozen paps jumped from their cars and violently banged on the windows trying to get photos of Nadya and her babies. As bad as that was, it got even worse when Nadya arrived at her home. Hundreds of people were there, many blocking the entrance to her garage and even causing damage to it, when the garage door tried to close. 

The babies are reportedly doing well, and no worse for wear after their wild ride:

She brought the infants to her new house in La Habra, California. Members of the media and gawkers crowded the cul-de-sac, as news helicopters hovered overhead. Media swarmed the family’s vehicle as it slowly made its way through the crowd, into the home’s garage.

The babies discharged from the hospital were Noah Angel, known as Baby A, and Isaiah Angel, known as Baby C, according to the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center.

The medical team that delivered the babies identified them by letters of the alphabet. On discharge, Noah weighed 5 pounds, 13 ounces, and Isaiah weighed 5 pounds, the hospital said in a news release.

“Both infants are able to bottle feed, are gaining weight and are able to maintain their body temperature,” the release said.

And they came home to a big new house, instead of the little house they had all been sharing:

Until recently, Suleman had been sharing another home with her parents and her other six young children. But that house ended up at risk of foreclosure, and Suleman moved into her own home.

Last week, she disputed news reports that her father had bought the new house.

“I earned it. … No, my father did not purchase this house for me. I did it on my own,” Suleman told Radar magazine’s Web site during a recent video tour of the 2,583-square-foot house.

“It’s 1,000-square-footage bigger than the old house,” she said on the video. “They [her older children] like it more than Grandma’s house.” [...]

People.com reported that their new home, which was listed for $564,900, has four bedrooms and a large back yard.

“My ultimate goal is not to be a burden on … taxpayers,” she told Radar. “So there have been a couple of offers. … I selectively picked a couple of opportunities to earn some resources for the kids.”

Great.  Now we’re gonna have Nadya and Nobody + 14: Electric Boogaloo.  Funny how she was content enough to live in “Grandma’s house” and just continue having babies, until the press showed up at her door.

(On a side note, what is wrong with people?  What was that all about?  I’m sure flashbulbs are just great for preemies just coming home from the hospital.  And why come out in the middle of the night to gawp at something like this?  Ridiculous.  I don’t agree with what Nadya has done but I also don’t agree with this bunch of knuckledraggers.)

So whatever happened with that whole Angels In Waiting thing I wrote about last week?


But wait, there’s more…

Britney’s Ex, Adnan Ghalib, To Be Deported To Afghanistan?

britadnancar

Well, that’s one way to keep him away from Britney.

You know, I seriously don’t like Adnan, but I wouldn’t wish this one on my worst enemy.  It seems that if Anon Brazilianwax (as he is affectionately known around these parts), if found guilty of assault charges, could be deported to Afghanistan of all places:

It’s a far cry from his glamorous lifestyle a year ago, when he was dating one of the world’s most famous women.

But the paparazzi photographer is now facing three assault charges that could earn him a seven-year jail sentence in the US or deportation to Afghanistan.

Ghalib, 36, is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run and battery.

The charges relate to an incident on 11 February in Los Angeles when a court official tried to serve him with a restraining order to stay away from Britney.

The restraining order was issued by the singer’s father, Jamie Spears, who has taken control of her affairs.

Ghalib allegedly tried to run over the court official – the charge of use of a deadly weapon relates to his car.

Okay, that much I understand (and covered a while back).  But just where does the deportation come in?

The photographer moved to Birmingham from Afghanistan with his family when he was five years old, and he works in the US.

But if he is listed as Afghani in the legal papers, he could be deported to the war-torn country.

‘The country of citizenship listed on the legal files is where someone convicted of a serious crime will be deported to whether they hold a green card or not,’ a source from the Los Angeles police told People News.

‘There is some confusion on his court documents over where he comes from. Some list the country as Afghanistan, but another states his nationality as British.’

Aha.  So basically it will be all his parents’ fault if he is deported.  It always comes back to the parents and how we screwed up the lives of our children!

britadnanpapYou know, in a way that makes me nauseous, this actually kinda makes me feel sorry for the guy, for about a second and a half.  If he is deported to Afghanistan, I have a feeling that he’ll be chewed up and spit out faster than he can close the shutter on a camera.  I mean, can you see this guy on the streets of Kabul?  Living in Kandahar City?  Not sure there’s much market for paparazzi there, and he sure won’t be able to get any upskirt shots.

This might be one time when someone is actually praying for jail time.

Julia Roberts’ Hubby Should Just Do IT!

Look, I don’t typically advocate violence ‘cuz I’m all pacifistic and stuff, but the above video shot by some slimy creatures at X17 really does highlight why celebrities get pissed when these people invade their privacy. I know we run a celeb website and talk about celebrities, so I can see where this might seem hypocritical, but what these photo agencies are doing borders on illegal harassment.

They hang out in front of these people’s homes, shooting pics of celebs taking their kids for walks in strollers, or bringing in their groceries or whatever. That shizzle is WRONG. That’s why it’s a rare day when you will see us posting videos of these folks stalking the famous at their homes. Your home is a place where you should be safe and have some privacy.

I don’t blame Danny Moder, Julia’s Roberts husband, for being pissed off at these rotting turds sitting outside their home taking video of his wife walking their kids. Creepy, very creepy.

Now, that said, if Julia Roberts is walking down say, Robertson Blvd,. or just out and about in a public area and these knuckledraggers want to shoot video, hey, that’s part of the job of being a celeb. Famous people doing regular stuff out and about in the real world is of interest to some people. Not me so much, but there are certainly sites who post that kind of thing up all the live long day. But people’s personal dwellings and surrounding neighborhood – that should be totally off limits. That’s stalking and illegal. It’s also the kind of thing the Church of Scientology does to people who criticize them and I don’t like them either.

So, in conclusion, I suggest Danny Moder challenge one of these ass clowns to a modern day duel. Metaphorically speaking of course.

Britney Gets In The Zone

britsunglasses.jpg

The red zone, that is. Yesterday Britney Spears not only had to call in the police to help her navigate through the paparazzi swarm, but she also had to deal with them giving her a ticket for illegal parking. After shopping at the Levi’s store for about a half hour, Brit came out to her usual pap scrum, but the bodyguard was having none of her usual dithering and posing…he took her by the hand and basically dragged her through the crowd to her car. Unlike some sites, I don’t think he was too rough…sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do.

britpaps3.jpg

In all fairness, though, I don’t know who was driving, Brit or the bodyguard, so I’m unsure who’s at fault for the parking thing.

In other Brit news, the motion to make her case Federal is much ado about nothing:

However, a judge ruled that Mr Eardley had no right to move the case in a ruling that means the signer is still not allowed to run her own life or have custody of her children Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, 17 months.

District Judge Philip Gutierrez wrote in a report: “Mr Eardley had no authority to remove the case from state court. He is neither a party nor a defendant.”

In a written declaration, Eardley said he was hired by Britney Spears on February 12, and had spoken to her on several occasions.

The last time they talked, Eardley said the phone was taken from her and the number was disconnected.

But Spears was already under her father’s conservatorship at the time and the California court had already appointed her an attorney.

Gutierrez ruled Britney Spears had no authority to hire Eardley.

Yes. Like I’ve said before, that’s one of the points of a conservatorship…you are not in a position to make your own decisions, for whatever reasons, and someone else has to make them for you until you are. Britney can’t hire anybody. She is just going to have to make the best of things for a while…and it looks like whatever daddy is doing is working, since she has had two visitations with her kids now.

Hopefully, once her medications are all correct, she’ll realize that this really is for the best right now and let things continue as they are. It isn’t permanent, so she just needs to settle down and take a step back and realize it’ll all work out if she just quits fighting it.

Oh, btw…Osmarmy? Yeah, that Federal thing? FAIL.

PWNED!

“What we need is Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town.”

britpapshoodie.jpg

YES!  I want to marry this man and have his children.

LAPD Chief William Bratton thinks the new so-called Britney’s Law proposed by councilman Dennis Zine is a bucket of hooey, points out that there are already laws in place to deal with overzealous paparazzi, and thinks she and her celebutard friends should, oh, I don’t know, STAY HOME:

What we need is Britney Spears to stay home instead of traipsing all over town. That would solve the problem. We don’t need additional laws…. I’ve got laws coming out my ears to deal with this issue.

What you have is several young women in this town and several young men basically making fools of themselves and tying up not only my resources but the resources of the media that would do better covering legitimate stories instead of a bunch of airheads running around out there….

Quite clearly some of these characters so favored by the paparazzi are clearly in need of services. Not police services, but psychiatric services.

It’s pure genius.  I can’t possibly add anything to it.  So simple, so pure, so fully packed.

Give this man a Breath Of Fresh Air Award, and while I’m at it…

PWNED!
