Crazy celebrities... every country has them!WTF? Is this for real? :shock:"Tomkitten's" 'first poop' goes on display in New York NEW YORK (AFP) - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show their baby daughter off in public, but eager fans were given an unusual preview with the chance to see a bronze cast depicting her first solid stool. The scatological sculpture -- more doodoo than Dada -- is purportedly cast from 19-week old Suri's first bowel movement and will be shown at the Capla Kesting gallery in Brooklyn, New York, before being auctioned off for charity. The artist behind the work, Daniel Edwards, previously courted controversy with a life-size nude sculpture of pop star Britney Spears giving birth on a bearskin rug. That work was shown at the same gallery in April. "A bronzed cast of baby's first poop can be a meaningful memento for the family," gallery director David Kesting said, adding that he hoped the work would attract bids of up to 25 or 30,000 dollars. The sculpture, which sits on a wooden mounting with a glass casing, is to be sold on eBay next month with proceeds from the sale going to infant health charity March Of Dimes. As of Wednesday it had attracted a top bid of 41 dollars. And WTF are they feeding that poor kid? That crap is huge! :shock: |

And to prove that every country has them, here's an example from the land of (some of) my fathers:
A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias. He told investigators three mystic dwarves - Armand, Luis and Angel - had helped him to carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. The court said psychic phenomena had no place in the judiciary. The bench backed a medical finding that the judge was suffering from psychosis. 'Dwarf dalliance' The Manila trial judge had asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the complaint and return him to the bench, after being sacked in April. "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed," Mr Floro told reporters after filing his appeal in May. The judge said he had made a covenant with his dwarf friends that he could write while in a trance and that he had been seen by several people in two places at the same time. Judge Floro reportedly changed from blue court robes to black each Friday "to recharge his psychic powers". In a letter to the court he said: "From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal." However, the Supreme Court said dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule. |

:lol: :lol: Three mystic dwarves? And a crap that's for sale? I can't compete with that! | ||||

 My grandfather (who emmigrated to the US in the late 1940s) emailed me the last one with the Subject titled, "Oh, yeah. THAT'S why I left!"

:;-(( This guy was crazy, but this is sad. He'll be missed. A lot of kids got into nature and animals because of him.
CAIRNS, Australia - Steve Irwin, the hugely popular Australian television personality and environmentalist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming an underwater documentary on the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44. Irwin was killed by a stingray barb to the heart on Batt Reef, off the remote resort town of Port Douglas in northeastern Queensland state, his wildlife park Australia Zoo said in a statement. Crew members aboard Irwin's boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered CPR as they rushed the boat to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical staff pronounced Irwin dead a short time later, the statement said. Irwin was famous for his enthusiasm for wildlife and his catchword "Crikey!" in his television program "Crocodile Hunter," which was first broadcast in Australia in 1992 and has aired around the world on the Discovery channel. He rode his image into a feature film, and developed the Australia Zoo as a tourist attraction. "The world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet," John Stainton, Irwin's friend and producer, said in the statement. "He died doing what he loves best and left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. Crocs Rule!" |

Oh my gosh! Baby Suri really does exist! And here I thought that she was just a figment of crazy Cruise's imagination.
But Perez Hilton seems to feel that something's not quite right here... 
The former Mr. Katie Holmes... daddy?? |
||||
| Walker |
Yeah, I was just wondering about that kid's hair color. Is it dyed or what? | ||||
| Elaine |
I'm surprised that at 3 1/2 months old (the age of the baby when those photos were allegedly taken), she already has a thick head of hair. I guess it's possible. |

| Joanne |
It's a little too early to know for sure, but I think Suri Cruise is going to end up looking like her mother. But her browline looks suspiciously like Chris Klein's.... :? | ||||

And speaking of crazy celebrities, that wacky Anna Nicole Smith certainly fits the bill. But my heart goes out to the poor dear. I cannot even begin to imagine how she must be feeling right now.
By Gene D'Alessandro Inquirer Staff Writer The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith has died in the Bahamas, where the former Playboy playmate and reality TV diva had given birth to a girl just days earlier. Authorities have not determined what caused the death of Daniel Wayne Smith, 20, said a spokeswoman for Trimspa, the diet products company that Anna Nicole Smith has endorsed. According to police, the younger Smith had stayed overnight in his mother's Nassau hospital room. Smith tried to awaken him about 9 a.m. Sunday, and called for help when he did not respond. Doctors were unable to revive him. Sources cited by the Nassau Guardian newspaper suggested that the cause of death was a "massive heart attack," but neither doctors nor the local coroner had confirmed that, according to the Guardian. The newspaper reported that Daniel Smith arrived in Nassau on Saturday, after his mother had given birth. Police officials earlier said there were no signs of physical injury to Smith nor of violence in the hospital room where he died, and there were "no reports of drugs, legal or illegal, on [Smith's] person at this time." The star's Web site, www.annanicole.com, announced both the birth of her 6-pound, 9-ounce daughter on Thursday and the death of her son, and showed a photo of Smith and her son floating on a raft. "Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being." Smith has not revealed who the father of the baby is.  |

Speaking of Cruise Jr, is it just me or does the baby have rather strong Chinese features? I'd have thought she was adopted rather than being the Cruises' biological offspring. | ||||
| Elaine |
You're not the only one who thinks Suri Cruise looks suspiciously Asian: http://www.tmz.com/2006/09/06/suri-cruise-asian-baby/ ...and I got a good chuckle out of this one: gawker.com |

...And to complete the purging of the American soul, Britney Spears has started divorce proceedings against Kevin "Popazão" Federline. Thank God. The guy is vile, and apparently has supersperm. 
Only eight weeks after giving birth to her second child, the pop star Britney Spears has filed for divorce from Kevin Federline. Her decision draws a line under one of Hollywood’s most tempestuous and talked-about unions. Spears, 24, filed her petition at the Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking sole custody of her two sons — Sean Preston, 14 months and Jayden James, eight weeks — with only visitation rights for her husband. The timing, on the day of the midterm elections, appeared to have been chosen to counter the inevitable blaze of publicity. By the way, if it's showing in your area, and you'd like to give your abs a good 80-minute workout without doing crunches or sit-ups, I strongly recommend watching the new movie Borat: Cultural Learning of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. The naked fight scene alone should get Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar!

Ugh! Everywhere I turn it's news about Britney & K-Fed's divorce. Well, at least it's pushed the Madonna adoption non-story out of the headlines. Thank god Britney's come to her senses! But I hear Federsleazy is asking for sole custody of their 2 boys. A-HAHAHAHA! Like a judge would approve that! The Britney money-train has derailed, K-Fed, now would you please just go away?

And speaking of crazy celebrities...
Jonathan Fowlie, Vancouver Sun Published: Thursday, November 09, 2006 Hollywood actress Denise Richards hit an 80-year-old woman in a wheelchair with at least one flying laptop Wednesday while battling paparazzi during the filming of her new movie at the River Rock Casino in Richmond. Richmond RCMP spokesman Cpl. Peter Thiessen said Richards took and threw two laptops belonging to photographers who had come uninvited onto the set of Blonde and Blonder -- a movie Richards is currently shooting with Ladysmith native Pamela Anderson. "Denise Richards recognized them [the photographers] and took exception," said Thiessen, who said he did not know what led Richards to become upset. "She grabbed their two laptops and threw them off a balcony," he added, noting there appeared to be a history between Richards and the photographers. Thiessen said the 80-year-old woman was one floor below Richards when she was hit but said she was not badly hurt and is not interested in laying charges. Thiessen added that the photographers called police after hotel staff took away their laptops and refused to give them back. On Wednesday night, a representative from the casino spoke to the media about the incident but refused to give any details. "We had an unauthorized entry of some individuals onto the set of Blonde and Blonder, which is currently shooting on our property," said Howard Blank, vice-president of the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation that owns River Rock. "The alleged incident was some people coming onto the film set unauthorized and there was a bit of a ruckus," he said, adding the incident happened at about 6 p.m. Thiessen said representatives of the film company agreed to pay for damages to the laptops and that no charges are going to be laid by anyone involved in the incident. Blonde and Blonder is described as Legally Blonde meets Dumb and Dumber, as the two stars are chased by police and criminals after being mistaken for paid assassins. Filming on the 19-day shoot began in October. |

Poor miss Spears. She's really let herself go. Her long neck and big forehead, and chubby face reminds me of a dinosaur. But, that's the path she chose. Every woman has the right to have babies. Maybe she will never regain the glamorous look of her youth. Without her looks, she won't have much of a career. Let's face it, she's not exactly what we would call a talented singer. | ||||
| Joanne |
She told him she was divorcing him via text message.  While he was on TV!  Good golly, that's cold! Nicely done! Brrrr, girl!
|

| Porthos |
The question is, why did she allow herself to get knocked up twice by him? | ||||
| Elaine |
This muthaf*cka has absolutely no shame. And the same goes for everybody involved in this mishegas. Simply tasteless!

Good grief! The sad thing is, millions will watch it. And he'll make a fortune.

Well, that means he'll have no excuse not to pay the families of the slain victims... But maybe I'm wrong. It's O.J. after all-- he gets away with murder.

There is decency left in this world after all. Praise Yahweh! |

| André in Zuid-Afrika |
Not completely. Rumour has it he's already received $3,5 million for his... er... performance... But it least it shows most people won't put up with this kind of thing... even if TV bosses think we will. They'll think twice next time... |

Elaine, did you study theology in school? |
||||
| Elaine |
I took a theology class in college, but it was so early in the morning that I kept dozing off.  But I did go to a private Catholic high school and that's where I learned all there is to know about life.

Is it really any good? All I know is the man's got balls: 
I can see 'em. I'd pretty much decided that I really don't need to actually see the movie or know anything about it, because just seeing that man proudly -- shamelessly -- cavorting about in a lime-green banana-hammock (where does one even BUY such an outrage?!) is enough to bust me up every time! But then I saw Madagascar, and even as a cartoon lemur he had me in stitches: 
And I defy you to watch that and not have "I Like To Move It, Move It" embedded in your head for the next ten hours! |

It's called a tangle sling. Back when I was doing catalog modeling (briefly -- I needed money for college!), I was asked if I would be comfortable wearing one for a swimwear / underwear catalog and I said, "Not on your life!" It was preposterous!
|
||||
| Uriel |
Good lord, it has a name, too?
Tangle sling, huh -- why, does it get tangled up in the Prince Albert when one tries to take it off? I'm going off the hardware being displayed on the young gentleman above -- no, the upper hardware, Andre.... It's a pity you don't need money for college any more -- had you distributed that catalog online at Langcafe, I bet every single item with you in it would have sold! (And we'd have opened our boxes with bated breath and then said, "Damn! It didn't come with the model? What kind of @#$#% is this?"

God, I so hate this bitch!
Uh, honey, if I were driving around on a suspended license, which btw was a result of a DUI, I would be carted off to jail and given a tougher sentence. She was supposedly pulled over by cops on several different occasions and only given warnings so what the f*ck does she mean she was treated unfairly?? Her mom Kathy is quoted as saying that this is a waste of taxpayers' money. No it's not, you uppity snoot! When your daughter drives around drunk, she's a danger to not just herself, but others on the street. And the fact that she continued to drive on a suspended license shows a complete lack of regard for the rules and society... and a brain. So this is a case of taxpayers' money well spent. |

The craziest celeb in Hungary is probably "Fekete Pákó" (Paco Black). He is an ex-student of law (i.e. a uni drop-out) from Nigeria who made his fortune in Hungary by performing ultra mega low-quality Hungarian pseudo-folksongs and hooking up with as many Hungarian women as possible. (FYI, those are songs that try to emulate new-style Hungarian folk songs but bear uncanny resemblance to Svabian folk music (Grrrr!) at the same time, have stupid lyrics and are traditionally played at wedding parties.) Imagine these types of songs being performed with a thick foreign accent. What's more, the bloke can't sing at all.

Just because our favorite celebutard has been carted off to prison doesn't mean we can't continue living vicariously through her. Play the game that's sweeping the nation:
The Prison Life: Paris 
Help our Lady of the Paparazzi make license plates and score points, but make sure you don't squash Tinkerbell. |
