DUI for Sixth Sense Star

Yeah, yeah, I could say, "I see drunk people." But I won't. What I will say is that Haley Joel Osment is only 18 years old and he's already started his short road to Mel Gibson-like behavior. I often wonder how stars in Hollywood get served alcohol when they're under 21, but I guess just because it's Hollywood. But the real question is, why didn't the little tike have someone driving him around--he's got the money.

Justin Timberlake has Balls of Jell-O

I actually was kind of impressed yesterday when Justin Timberlake said that American Idol winner Taylor Hicks "can't carry a tune in a bucket." Ahhhh, but then the publicists got involved. Now Timberlake's people are saying it was a misunderstanding and that his comments were taken out of context. So in one day Justin went from a man with balls of steel to a man with balls of Jell-O.

JonBenet...for the record

I don't think this guy killed JonBenet. I think he's nuts. Most everyone in Atlanta (and probably across the world) feels JonBenet's parents had a hand in her murder. Especially her mother. I'm just saying that for the record. What do y'all think?

Work Out Review


First off, I was silly to ever think my beautiful Jesse could be fired from Jackie's gym on Work Out. I totally fell for the preview from the week before where Jackie said, "Enough. I'm done." Turns out she was just telling Jesse to leave her office. Ten minutes more into this week's show and Jesse has led a great bootcamp class so he and Jackie are again BFF.

Um, is anyone else noticing how crazy Jackie's girlfriend is? Not only does she look 40 (and she's only 26!) but she bites Jackie any chance she gets. Jackie should ditch Mimi. I hope she does!

Michael Does the ATL Proud on Project Runway

I'm more and more convinced that each new challenge on Project Runway is an elaborate excuse to make Tim Gunn wear or carry something funny. Last night the contestants went to a recycling plant in Newark, New Jersey where they got materials for a their outfits. Of course we got to see Tim and the contestants in yellow jackets, safety goggles, and yellow hard hats. There is something so incongruous about prim and propper Tim Gunn all suited up like a sanitation worker, and of course the producers know that.

Buy yay for Atlanta designer Michael! I'm so happy he won his second challenge in a row, but even more happy that "my head is too small for my neck" Jeffrey didn't win. I would like to the site and show a pic or two, but as usual, the site isn't working again.

Laguna Beach Returns to TV Tonight

Ahhh...the fluffy, bitchy, meathead goodness that is Laguna Beach. How I've missed the lives of the rich, entitled, vapid OC teens; I'm so glad it starts again tonight on MTV. This season brings a whole fresh crop of what I hope to be devastatingly arrogant, egocentric, dumbass kids. Sadly, none of the main guys are as hot as old Laguna's Jason, but what can you do?

Make Samuel L. Jackson Work for You

If you go to this part of the Snakes on a Plane website, you can get Samuel L. Jackson to leave a friend a voicemail message about his movie. It's pretty funny. Coworker Michael showed me.

Hooking Up on Project Runway

Reality Blurred has a great post today about some lovin' on last season's Project Runway. Turns out there was some sumpin sumpin going on in one of those Atlas apartments. The rogues gallery includes: Andre, Daniel, Nick (sigh), and Santino (barf). My bet is that Daniel got it on with Andre or Nick. That seems about right. Of course I'm also convinced that Daniel and Tim Gunn hooked up. What do y'all think?

Money in a Bag

This story about the gift bags at the upcoming Emmy Awards is really interesting. Evidently the gift bags for nominees are worth between $27,000 and $33,000 dollars and nominees are expected to report the gifts as income for tax purposes. The article mentions that the 2006 Oscar gift bags netted the IRS more than $1.2 million in taxes! Go to the article to read the entire contents of the Emmy bags. It's revolting how much free these mega-rich people get: $1,500 Morton's Steakhouse gift certificate, a string of pearls, 6 nights at a ranch in Hawaii, leather roller luggage, and on and on...

Maggie Grace Back on Lost?


Kristin at EOnline reported an interesting Lost tidbit yesterday on her weekly blog: there are rumors going around that Maggie Grace will be reprising her role as Shannon on the hit show. Because most of the Lost characters share strangely linked pasts, Shannon could certainly show up in someone else's flashback. Let's hope so...I feel a little part of the show died with Shannon.

Boy George and Trash


I think Boy George has too many problems for us to take pleasure in his misfortune. I'll be honest, I feel a little sorry for him. For the next 5 days he has to pick up trash in NYC. You can read about it here. (Oh, and the sanitation worker showing him how to sweep is kinda cute).

Dancing with the Stars

If you have never watched the craziness that is Dancing with the Stars, this year is the time to watch the ABC show. The c-list celebrities who are participating have been named by TV Guide and include: Harry Hamlin, Mario Lopez, Joey Lawrence, Vivica A. Fox, Jerry Springer, and....it's almost too good to be true, political pundit Tucker Carlson. It's funny what someone will do to bring ratings to his show.
