http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100728/ap_en_ce/eu_france_first_lady_woody_allen “French first lady begins latest Allen flick” France’s first lady, a former supermodel turned songstress, is making her debut as an actress, filming this week in Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris. This headline was a lot more interesting when, in my sleep-deprivation, I read it as “French First lady begins latest Alien flick”. Nicolas […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091105/ap_en_ce/eu_germany_mtv_europe_awards_u2 U2 puts on a show at the site of the Berlin Wall, then erects a huge fence preventing those without tickets from watching. The irony is lost on no one but Bono.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090414/ap_en_mo/people_mel_gibson_8 Mel Gibson’s wife of 28 years filed for divorce Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. Irreconcilable differences. My hopes that Mrs. Gibson was fooling around with a Jewish man are dashed.
Seven Great Talk-Show Trainwrecks – The Daily Beast
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-02-13/seven-great-talk-show-trainwrecks/2/ Norman Mailer jousts with Gore Vidal, Dick Cavett, and a shamefully unnamed tough broad disguised as a lady (complete with elbow-length gloves). A reminder that late night talk shows used to be capable of intellectual discussion, witty repartee, and keeping an audience’s interest for both. Ironically, the clip below (unwatched by me, but I […]
Dame Judi Dench Begins Dating Female DJ | The Onion – Americas Finest News Source
http://www.theonion.com/content/news/dame_judi_dench_begins_dating This trend of misbehaving starlets has got to stop. Judi Dench is so just doing it for the publicity. The affair caps off a tailspin of erratic behavior by Dench. While shooting Notes On A Scandal back in 2006, the hard-partying septegenarian was known to show up on set late and hungover, or sometimes […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090216/en_nm/us_simon_2 Huge music fan that I am, I go to surprisingly few concerts. This one, though, makes me wish I’d had tickets: Paul Simon in concert would be a treat. Paul Simon singing some of his less-played (but some of my favourite) songs is icing on the cake. Paul Simon ending the evening with some […]

As usual, this is a tempest in a teacup and thoroughly un-newsworthy, though it did provide this fabulous quote: “The number of ‘fleeting’ penises we expect to see on broadcast television is zero.”

The Death of Heath Ledger – NYTimes.com
http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/22/actor-heath-ledger-is-found-dead/index.html?hp I had started a post after Brad Renfro died, saying that I thought this might be the Year of the Dead Celebrity. I nixed the posting in case I was perceived to be starting off 2008 on the wrong foot (as did Brad Renfro – *ahem*). With Heath Ledger apparently topping himself today, though, […]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080118/en_nm/un_messengers_clooney_dc_2 Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon named actor George Clooney, who has campaigned for refugees in Darfur, as a U.N. “messenger of peace” on Friday to promote the world body’s peacekeeping efforts. World body, indeed. FWAH! Clearly, the UN is trying to increase its quota of women staffers. I’m desperately hunting for an application form myself.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070817/ap_en_ot/people_winehouse_6;_ylt=Ao.aDg__xuJjCu21D9OuIloE1vAI Amy Winehouse has pulled the plug on her August concerts after being hospitalized last week for “severe exhaustion.” I think it’s about time to start a celebrity junkie death pool. Who amongst Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan, or Pete Doherty is gonna cop it first? It’s just a matter of time – minutes, even, at […]
