Once again, this week in Hollywood was full of ups and downs, or shall we use the new Sheen’isms and say “Winning” and “Losing”. It’s like there is no middle ground for Hollywood, you are either flying high (pun intended) or sharing a cell with Lindsey Lohan. There are a few celebs who do “normal” in Hollywood but where is the fun in writing or reading about “normal”? So here are my top 5 dishes of the week...
Reese Witherspoon got hitched! I really like Reese, I think she is cute, sweet and a fabulous actor but I also feel that she is the kind of girl you want in your corner for a bar fight. She tied the knot with entertainment agent Jim Toth on Saturday night. They had a private ceremony at Witherspoon's ranch estate in Ojai, California. Reese wore a Monique Lhuillier wedding dress, one of my faves. Hmmm Maybe for my next one... The guest list read like a “Who’s who” of Hollywood menu: Renée Zellweger, Sean Penn with Scarlett Johansson, Tobey Maguire, Robert Downey Jr. and Alyssa Milano. George and I could not make it, but want to thank Reese for the invitation.
Elton John tell’s the Kings of Leon to “Lighten up You A**holes”! A while back Ryan Murphy, the creator of Glee asked the King’s if he could use their song, “Use Somebody.” The bands Nathan Followill would not let the show cover his song. Elton was just on Jimmy Fallon and told him, “When someone wants to do your song, it’s a compliment,” and told Kings of Leon and other bands, “Lighten up you a**holes.” I like the way Elton thinks.
Snooki was paid MORE for a speaking gig than Pulitzer Prize-winning author! Snooki spoke at Rutgers University in New Jersey and took home $32 000.00. Toni Morrison delivered a commencement speech and got paid $30 000.00. There is something inherently wrong here.
Kirstie Alley will wear a bikini if she makes it to the DWTS finale! I love me some Kirstie, think she is a fab and sassy women, but hasn’t she done this already? Was it not her that strolled out onto Oprah’s stage in her skivvies? Regardless of her motivation, she is kicking serious but on DWTS and all the power to her.
Charlie Sheen got torpedoed....! Sheen bombed and was booed during his first stage show of his tour; people were actually walking out of his show. When people started booing he defended himself by saying “I have an APP...and you don’t” apparently he went on for over 30 minutes about how having an APP is winning. Dude, I have an APP and so does a FART, Atomic Fart, huge hit, not that difficult. I’m not sure what I feel about this story, really nothing. I just wonder what the hell the people who dished out over a hundred bucks for the tickets were expecting. He’s not a stand up comedian; he can’t play the piano. What the hell were you thinking you were going to see? The Pirates of Penzance?
Let me know who your DTWS picks are and if you’re planning on catching the Sheen show.
