I used to have a huge crush on Edward Furlong back in the 90’s. So I’m going to overlook that he was arrested Sunday on domestic abuse charges for the third time in as many months, and that he looks like this now. What can I say, I’m a magnanimous person.
In news that that isn’t really news because everyone already knew but we’re all going to pretend it’s a big deal anyways, Lance Armstrong has reportedly confessed to Oprah that he used performance enhancing drugs during his pro-cycling career (feign shock.) How come whenever someone has something terrible to confess they come to Oprah? There must be something comforting in her enormous brown bosom.
I’ve got to give it up to ol’ Lance, because he denied this thing until the bitter end. I admire that kind of staunch adherence to one’s own web of deceit. Like John Travolta believes a four-way around-the-world in the men’s steam room doesn’t make him gay because he’s married to a woman, Lance believes that as long as he never actually tests positive, he never did drugs.
Lance may be a liar, but at least he’s consistent. What kind of quitter would he be if he just rolled over and confessed after one or two or three little accusations? That’s not how you beat cancer, that’s not how you win the Tour de France seven times, and that’s not how you pull off what the U.S Anti-Doping Agency called “the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen!”
In fact, I think Lance should embrace being one of the best and most committed liars on Earth. All he needs to do is remove the ‘V’ and he can start a new foundation, Lie Strong, where he encourages people everywhere to stand up for their misrepresentations of the truth.

Another day another awards show. Last night it was the Golden Globes, where achievement in both television and film is recognized, so pretty much every celebrity you could think of was there. Even Nicole Richie, whose neck looked ten years older than her face.
Wanna know who wasn’t there? Lindsay Lohan. Yes, the cinematic masterpiece that was Liz & Dick wasn’t nominated for a Golden Globe, so she live tweeted the show holed up in a hotel room with an eight ball and a bottle of Poplov.
I hate awards shows so let’s just get through the highlights:
Jodie Foster kind of, sort of came out of the closet while accepting the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award. For some reason everybody thought it was very surprising that a Hollywood actress who dresses butch and shacked up with another woman for years while having kids together is a lesbian. You mean all that sexual tension with Mel Gibson in Maverick was fake?
Stacy Keibler arrived with George Clooney looking like she didn’t even bother to wash her hair. She must be depressed, I’d be too if I had the Damacle’s Sword of being known to posterity as ‘that one girl dumped by George Clooney’ hanging over my head.
I’m going to give worst dressed to Sienna Miller, for looking and dressing like this . And best dressed will go to crazy mess, NeNe Leakes cuz girl looks like she could use a break.
Anne Hathaway is on the right road to Oscar success picking up a Best Supporting Actress last night. “Thank you for this lovely blunt object that I will forevermore use as a weapon against self-doubt,” Hathaway said, holding her trophy. Does this bitch ever stop feeling sorry for herself?
Jennifer Lawrence looked great and won Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook.
What else, Ben Affleck won Best Director for Argo, but he wasn’t even nominated for the Oscars, I’m not sure what that means. It’s almost as if the Golden Globes are a superfluous awards show handing out conciliatory prizes to those who couldn’t make the cut. Speaking of Ben Affleck, why does Jennifer Garner look like this now?
And best performance of the evening goes to Sacha Baron Cohen for using his minute on stage to make fun of the Hollywood elite who take themselves way too seriously, ie. Daniel Day Lewis

Britney Spears has had her busiest week in years, quitting her job, breaking up with her fiance and possibly moving to Las Vegas. It sounds like the plot of an empowering woman-having-a-midlife-crisis book-turned-movie that would star Julia Roberts. But this is Britney Jean Spears we’re talking about so imagine that but with more chili cheese fries, tetanus and menthol cigarettes.
Where to begin. First it was reported that Britney Spears quit her job at the X-Factor because she was about to be fired. Then she split up with her fiancé, Jason Trawick,who’s been babysitting her for the last couple of years while conveniently having sex with her too. It’s reported the two split because Britney wants to do more baby making (she’s from Alabama, it’s inherent,) and he’s already had it up to here with the two hellions that Britney already has. Now, TMZ is reporting that Britney is in talks to move to LasVegas to headline a show and could potentially earn over $100 million a year for the gig.
In totally unrelated news that should be related, in the newbook by pulitzer-prize winning author Lawrence Wright, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief, Wright details how the Church of Scientology auditioned several actresses back in 2004 under the guise of a role in Mission Impossible, but they were really looking for a third wife for Tom Cruise. The book claims Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba and Lindsay Lohan were all considered for the role of ‘beard’ before church officials settled on Katie Holmes.
How are they missing this? Britney might as well have a gigantic target on her forehead. The girl hasn’t made any decisions for herself since 2008, she’s the exact kind of celebrated, malleable dim-wit a cult would kill to get their hands on. And it wouldn’t even be hard, they would just have to pull up in an ice cream truck, throw a burlap sack over her head and tell her they’re taking her to Taco Bell. It’ll be three years before she realizes she never got that Nacho Bell Grande and extra large Mountain Dew.

One of the people pictured above was born a woman. Can you guess which one?
Since all the real celebrities were at the People’s Choice Awards and the Critic’s Choice Awards this week, Human-Trafficking victim Courtney Stodden and her john, Doug Hutchinson decided to lend their star power to the Markus + Indrani Icon Book Launch party to benefit The Trevor Project. I know, glamorous, right?
Courtney put on her best drag face, dusted off her favorite wig from out of the corner where her dog was sleeping on it, poured herself into the cheapest polyester tube dress she could find, then crammed her feet into her most comfortable plastic shoes, (check out that pinky toe) because Courtney pulls all the stops when her parental guradian lets her out of the house! Normally her vadge would be hanging out the bottom of this thing, but if you look closely, you’ll see Courtney actually remembered to wear her support underwear. Surprise!
The shindig was hosted by Carmen Electra, which is a good indicator of where her career is at these days. Links to more pics here.

* There’s a lot of other words that could have been thrown in there: talent, vagina, humility, dignity, personal attractiveness, etc.
If you like to keep up with trite celebrity feuds that consists of a lot of open letters and posturing with none of the stuff we actually want to see (bikini-clad fights to the death in a pool of Jello) then you might have heard that Lady Gaga has a problem with Kelly Osbourne and her hard-hitting, insightful, Peabody nominated work on Fashion Police. In an open letter posted to her website, Gaga opens with this self-righteous tirade:
Everyday, through my music and public voice I choose to be positive and work towards a kinder and braver world with our community of followers. I encourage them to ignore criticism, stand up to bullies, know their own value and see that we are all the same and no one person is worth more than another. I know I’m perceived as a wild child, but in reality I am woman that deeply cares for humanity. I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path.
“Chosen a less compassionate path?” Move over Jesus, and get a stylist, because the lost and downtrodden have a new savior, and this bitch wears designer labels; your sandals and seamless robe ain’t gonna cut it anymore.
Aside from that, does anything having to do with Kelly Osbourne “culturally important”? If I took a dump that looked like Kate Middleton it would have more cultural importance than Kelly Osbourne, it might even get its own reality show.
Gaga goes on to say Kelly and Fashion Police Breeds negativity and hate, and that it’s not funny. No arguments on that last one. Of course, Crazy ass Sharon Osbourne wasn’t going to let anyone criticize her pudgy, ugly daughter and fired back in another open letter on Facebook calling Gaga a hypocrite:
“By your actions to Kelly right now, you have shown me that you are nothing more than a publicly seeking hypocrite,” Sharon wrote.
“You know it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately. I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticizing Kelly in your open letter,” she said.
I don’t want to defend the Osbournes, they’re a couple of cackling, cockneye hags and Kelly looks like she has a serious case of macrognathia, but does Lady Gaga really think Fashion Police and Kelly are so mean spirited and negative that it deserves to be called out? They’re talking about clothes for fuck’s sake, and the insults are pretty tame. Has Lady Gaga even been on the internet lately? Because everyone on here has been calling her a dude for the last two years.
