My mother used to say that Paul Newman reminded her of her uncle in Greece. He was such a handsome guy even in his old age. I grew up hearing nice comments about him. I heard on the news the other day that he would never dream of looking for love outside his marriage. He said something to the effect of.. why would you look for hamburger when you have steak at home. That was interesting way of putting it but definitely gets the point across. In any case.. I’m sure he will be missed. He seemed like such a nice quiet guy.

I knew I was going to have a Potty Mouth today when I woke up to these headlines.

As if you couldn’t tell he was Gay when he was on American Idol. Come On, Please!

SO WHAT!?

It’s not as if poeple wake up to announce that they are hetero.

Why do Gay people act as if we don’t know they are Gay?

As a hetero sexual person I don’t set myself apart from the rest of the world.

What goes on behind closed doors is basically none of your business.

Clay Aiken is Gay. So what the fuck?

I felt horrible when I found out that there had been a plane crash. How does anybody survive something like that? It makes me wonder what God’s plan is for these people? What’s the lesson here? How will they make a difference having survived something like this?

I guess I forgot that Shanna Moakler and Travis Barker were divorced. I had watched their little reality television show on MTV at some point. There life was interesting. I hope that their divorce was amicable. I think it’s good that she has rushed off to be with him. He’s going to need her now more than ever. After all, he is the father of their children.

What about Adam Goldstein also known as “DJ AM?” Who’s with him at the moment? Does anybody know?

Who’s going to be responsible for the tire blowing? Or was that just a freak accident? How often do these things happen and how long do these tires last before they are replaced?

I can’t believe these two made it out of this crash a live. I feel so bad for the families of the four others that lost their lives. I’ve been thinking about it and praying about it all day. (Well all weekend)

I watched the MSNBC video clip of this interview and the quality was horrible so I found this one from YouTube. It’s the 1st part of 2 parts on The Today Show.

I thought the interview was good and that Lynne Spears goes on to pretty much describe almost everything that’s in the book. I can’t imagine what else there could be.

But, doesn’t Lynne Spears also have a son? I wonder if she discusses that in her book. It seems like all we ever hear about is Britney Spears OR Jamie Lynn Spears.

I had no idea that Britney’s Father was an alcoholic. That explains why he and Lynne Spears are divorced. He must be a recovered alcoholic if they’ve put him in charge of Britney’s fortune.

Are you planning on getting the book? Have you read the book yet? What did you think of it? Do you think it’s a waste of time and money OR would you recommend that somebody like me read it?

I’m reading all over that Kendra Wilkinson is leaving the Playboy Mansion and going to get her own show on E! How exciting is that!?

She cracks me up. Out of all the girls she makes me laugh the most.

So let me ask you guys something…

Does this mean that she is breaking up with Hef and they are leaving it on good terms? (Not that they would ever be on bad terms but I think you know what I mean.)

And if all the girls get their own show does this mean that the rest of them will be moving out too?

According to the Clinton News Network (CNN), Kanye West has been arrested!

Now how come that doesn’t surprise me?

What I’d like to know is why he was arrested on “suspicion” of vandalism?

You would think they would be sure somebody did something in breech of the law before they arrest them.

Did he or did he not vandalize something?

I’m guessing he probably got ticked off at the photographer, things escalated and Kanye probably decided to break the photographer’s equipment.

Or maybe he got his face knocked out while he was holding the camera? Who knows!?

I don’t personally care for Kanye West.

He was the one that said President George W. Bush doesn’t like Black People during the Hurricane Katrina days.

He really pissed me off when she said that because being black had nothing to do with anything.

Hurricane Katrina was an unfortunate event that nobody, not even the people of NOLA, were prepared for.

It will be interesting to find out what happens with his trip to jail.

I wonder if a black cop arrested him… otherwise the racism will be sure to continue, eh?

I watched the MTV VMA award show and I heard what Jordin Sparks said when she made her “slut” comment.

Yes, I was a bit shocked when she said the part about nobody wanting to be a slut BUT I also realized she was disturbed about the jokes that were being made concerning the Jonas Brothers, their belief system and the fact that they all (including Jordin Sparks) wear promise rings.

I believe her exact comment was:

“I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It’s not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody — guy or girl — wants to be a slut.”

Later on Jordin had this to say:

“I wish I would’ve worded it differently — that somebody who doesn’t wear a promise ring isn’t necessarily a slut — but I can’t take it back now. It was a split-second thing, and it came out kind of wrong. Still, I don’t regret it.”

I have a lot of admiration for Jordin because she did stick up for the Jonas Brothers. I think that was the intent of her comment in the first place.

Yes, she had regrets about the wording of what she said but she doesn’t regret what she said OR why.

I can respect that.

I think the Jonas Brothers are gentlemen and Jordin Sparks is quite a lady.

I watched her on Fox News last night. Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes interviewed her on their show. I thought the interview went well and it give viewers a chance to see another side to Jordin.

I also learned that she sang backup for Michael W. Smith at one time.

How cool is THAT!?

The Florida Federation of Republican Women has launched a boycott against Oprah Winfrey’s TV show and magazine because the talk queen has said she will not have Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin on her show until after the election.

Democrat Barack Obama — whom Winfrey is supporting for president — was on “Oprah” twice before he announced his run for president, in January 2005 and in October 2006. Winfrey has said she will have neither party’s candidates on her show while they are running for their respective offices.

But the 58-year-old federation, with 4,500 members, says Winfrey should have Palin on her show, given how important Palin’s run is for women.

“She is an icon, and set her herself up to be such a women’s rights and women’s issues person. To have the first vice president of our lifetime on the Republican ticket being a woman and to sit it out regardless of what her personal political beliefs were was disingenuous, we felt,” the group’s first Vice President Cindy Graves told “FOX & Friends” on Wednesday morning.

Graves, 50, says she used to watch “Oprah” and occasionally bought her magazine. She told FOXNews.com that the group has been joined by women all over the country since launching the boycott last Saturday.

“People from Southern California, Tennessee, Texas, Colorado, Rhode Island, just about every state in the union. We’ve also had a tremendous response from Democrats and Independents who are supporting McCain, and Hillary supporters,” she said.

As for the effect of the boycott so far on Oprah’s TV ratings and magazine subscription, Graves said Winfrey is “keeping that quiet.”

Winfrey reacted strongly Friday to a report posted on the Drudge Report Web site that claimed she and “a couple of her top people are adamantly” against booking Palin on her show.

“The item in today’s Drudge Report is categorically untrue,” Winfrey said in a statement sent to news organizations in reaction to the Drudge Report’s posting. “There has been absolutely no discussion about having Sarah Palin on my show. At the beginning of this presidential campaign when I decided that I was going to take my first public stance in support of a candidate, I made the decision not to use my show as a platform for any of the candidates. I agree that Sarah Palin would be a fantastic interview, and I would love to have her on after the campaign is over.”

That said, Winfrey used her show to introduce Obama to America’s women voters, and has endorsed and campaigned with the Democratic nominee. She also was very visible at Obama’s nomination acceptance speech in Denver last month.

Winfrey and her executive producer Sheri Salata are also big contributors to Obama’s campaign.

Winfrey’s staff reportedly is sharply divided on booking Palin.

“Half of her staff really wants Sarah Palin on,” a source told Drudge. “Oprah’s Web site is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama.”

Hat Tip: America’s Election HQ

Britney seems like she is getting her life back. I’m so glad for her. Her boys deserve to have their Mom and it seems that their Dad is doing good staying out of the lime light.

The girl can dance. She’s back in shape too. It makes me want to pop in my work-out tapes and move my butt out of this chair.
