Charlie Sheen Supports Lindsay. Oh, Good.

September 30th, 2010 // 39 Comments

While her mom, and now dad, make their respective moves for the conservatorship they’ve always dreamed of, Lindsay Lohan is getting support from a man who has to have made her new publicist shit at least five kittens if not a pack of marmosets. RadarOnline reports:

“I think she’s doing the best that she can,” [Charlie Sheen] told RadarOnline.com reporter Katie Rhames.
“It’s not easy to begin with… but then you put it under the bright lights of this circus and it makes it that much more difficult. People just need to leave her alone and let her do her thing.”
Sheen added: “I think at the end of the day she’ll win.”

While some might consider the words of Charlie Sheen to be nothing but the rantings of a madman hell-bent on forcing women to breastfeed with a gun, I actually see at it as a realistic vote of confidence. Plus all that other stuff. Here’s a guy who just got away with putting a knife to his wife’s throat and threatening to kill her in a crack-filled rage, only to spend the time before his slap on the wrist banging hookers. The man knows a thing or two about celebrity justice. For his next trick, he’ll probably hijack a school bus, launch it off Space Mountain then receive a medal of honor for his dedication to keeping kids in school. — I’m giving Lindsay’s pointers, aren’t I? Goddammit…

Gilbert Gottfried Went For It

September 30th, 2010 // 59 Comments

Almost immediately after Greg Giraldo‘s death, Gilbert Gottfried took to Twitter to be the first to make an obvious joke about his late friend that ruffled a few oversensitive feathers. Even more surprising, Gilbert Gottfried uses Twitter:

If Greg Giraldo is cremated, will that be the “Greg Giraldo Roast”?

Look, I don’t want to sit here and pontificate like I’m some master student of comedy – which I’m clearly not – but had Gilbert actually made a funny joke, I doubt anyone would’ve made a stink. However, what’s really sad if not horribly depressing, is the fact Greg Giraldo is being predominantly written about as “Last Comic Standing Judge Greg Giraldo.” That’s like a respectable chef dying only to be remembered for the year he was forced to work at McDonald’s to support a drug habit.

Heidi Klum Quit Victoria’s Secret

September 30th, 2010 // 41 Comments

Whenever I think Victoria’s Secret Angels should have an age limit of 25, as is my wont, I remember Heidi Klum is still out there and then start to wonder why every woman can’t be as hot as her. (Seriously, would it kill you?) However, all of that’s a moot point as Heidi just announced she’s retiring from an institution so sacred and holy, I consistently hid its literature under my mattress from 1992 to 1996. *bows head in reverence* Page Six reports:

“All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria’s Secret. It has been an absolutely amazing time.”
Mom-of-four Klum was dubbed “The Body” by Page Six after walking in her first VS show and then became the “Head Angel,” hosting since 2002 and stealing the show last year by stepping out in lingerie just five weeks after giving birth.

Right now the short list of Head Angels to replace Heidi consists of Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Candice Swanepoel, Chanel Iman and Erin Heatherton. Personally, I’d like to see a bold choice along the lines of – for argument’s sake – Blake Lively. Some might say that speaks to an unhealthy obsession suggesting a need for psychiatric intervention, but I like to believe it speaks to a deep truth society will never admit to itself: No one cares how good actresses are. We just want to see some gams. Go ahead, burn me at the stake for bucking the apple cart. In 20 years they’ll be citing me in college courses. Ten if Blake debuts a new Perfect Bra. (Alec Baldwin, ready the chloroform!)

Greg Giraldo Dead at 44 (1965 – 2010)

September 29th, 2010 // 86 Comments

Five days after being found in a hotel room where he accidentally overdosed on prescription pills, comedian Greg Giraldo died today, according to TMZ:

A source said the overdose was not a suicide attempt.
Giraldo was best known for his celebrity roast appearances. He had also been a judge on “Last Comic Standing.”
A source close to Greg tells us, “Greg passed away today at the hospital in New Brunswick as a result of an accidental overdose. His family was by his side.”

Even though I’ve always been a fan, I don’t want to whitewash the fact a (apparent) drug addiction just left a wife and kids behind by getting all sentimental. However, I think I speak for all of us when I say, “How the fuck is Lindsay Lohan still alive?! C’mon!”

Rest in Peace, Greg.

Lindsay’s Money Problems Are Solved!

September 29th, 2010 // 41 Comments

It’s like she already knew what I was going to say.

While she’s currently attempting to essentially convince a judge to let her stay at a spa-resort instead of going back to jail for all of five minutes, Lindsay Lohan‘s dire financial situation just got a much-needed shot in the arm. Or more appropriately, in the mouth. CBC News reports:

An Ontario court has thrown out key provisions of Canada’s anti-prostitution laws in response to a constitutional challenge by a Toronto dominatrix and two prostitutes in 2009.

Need a ride to the airport? I’ll promise to clip a stroller :D

(Thanks to Natasha who saw legalized prostitution and randomly thought of me for some reason. Weird. *orders shower curtains in bulk online*)
