Brittany’s Underwear
This photo is probably doctored. For it’s hard to believe that even Ms. Spears of vaunted motherhood fame can’t keep her pants up.
We liked it anyway and thought it a fine way to start out a gossip fest.
The McCartney Breakup
The gossip over the breakup of Heather and Paul has reached screeching proportions. Some of that gossip is simply unbelievable. Sir Paul had no pre-nuptial in place? That stretches the limits of my credulity.
Suddenly all sorts of information about Heather’s past has come to the fore. Like pornographic pictures never before published now suddenly showing up in German newspapers.
Below is an article that I daresay was planted by one Heather McCartney. That bit about stress and a wheelchair is just so lame, so damn lame. It seems, and I’m going on a hunch here, that Heather and Paul are playing out their divorce woes for the public.
I am quite sure that the fine Ms. Heather knew that her marriage was in trouble long before the announcement. But it isn’t until the public announcement that she gets so sick and has to be confined to a wheelchair?
We are supposed to sympathize with the poor one-legged bride. When actually, besides good juicy gossip, the majority of us peons out here in la-la land feel little sympathy for either Paul or Heather. Somehow I think they will make out fine.
From The Mirror:
By Fiona Cummins, Showbiz Reporter
HEATHER Mills is so devastated over her split from Sir Paul McCartney the stress has put her back in a wheelchair.
The 38-year-old suffered a relapse from leg surgery she had four weeks ago, brought on by the collapse of their marriage.
Friends said Heather has hardly slept since breaking up from Macca, right, two weeks ago and has been in floods of tears. One added: "She's in a very low place."
WORRIED friends of Heather Mills last night said they fear her devastating split from Sir Paul McCartney is damaging her health.
The 38-year-old is back in a wheelchair after a relapse following surgery on her amputated leg, brought on by stress from the break-up. She has hardly slept and has been in floods of tears since the couple's marriage collapsed.
Spider-man’s New Costume
Come on. There’s something to be said about that dashing blue and red outfit that superhero Spider-man sports as he fights the bad guys.
Scuttlebutt now has it that the new movie will have the arachnid hero donned in new duds. In fact, we even have a picture of the new costume. It appears to be a leather affair with raised ridges.
We like the old one better.

From:**Pop Bitch BLIND ITEM 6/1**
ASKED
Which actor, who still appears on TV but is probably best known for a starring role in the first of a long-running movie franchise based on a much-loved TV show, is currently staying in a hip central London hotel?
The actor so enjoyed his in-room massage this week that he did a full Kevin Costner. Without any shame the actor looked up at the masseur, asked her for some tissues and gave himself a Happy Finish.

One Homo-Helper Blind Vice
Oh gosh, Wiggly Jiggle-Poof is too cute. America loves her. I mean, him.
Or do I?
Oh, let's back up, shall we? And that's an appropriate segue if there ever was one, because Wiggly--a desperate eager type from Blandsville, Anywhere--got more than just a foot in the door, know what I mean, my jaded jellybeans?
Let me be more clear (not exactly my strong suit, I know): Wiggly was helped enormously with his glitzy 'n' glam gig by a certain in-the-closet major Biz player by the name of Burp Behemoth. Yes, sexual favors were included in exchange for W.'s 9-to-5 rise. Just as long as W.J.P. remained available for Burp's pleasures, when he so chose, which actually turned out to be not that often.
So, was it all that bad, in the end?
Certainly not for Mr. Jiggle. That is, unless more and more boob-tube devotees discover the little deal J.P. made with the Tinseltown devil--with whom many of us are so often tempted to do bidness.

We Love This Story
Seems Tommy Hilfiger punched out “Guns & Roses” Axl Rose.
I’d never have thought Hilfiger had it in him.
What’s great about this story is the sequence of events. It was first published in the NY Post’s famous Page 6.
From Gawker.com:
In the early edition of today’s Post, Page Six ran an item about an incident at Plumm on Wednesday night. Apparently, Guns & Roses was playing some sort of live show, and Tommy Hilfiger was in attendance. Somehow, Tommy Hilfiger and Axl Rose got into a scuffle, ending when Hilfiger clocked him across the jaw and was escorted out by security.
The story is not online, and it’s not printed in the late edition Post we have here in the office. I’m kicking myself for leaving that shit on the subway.
The story gets better. We’ll play out the sequence of events as delineated in the post linked above.
No scan, but the P6 item read as followsFashion designer Tommy Hilfiger better watch out the next time he runs into Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose. Hilfiger and Rose got into a heated argument last night at the trendy Chelsea nightspot Plum, sources told The Post. Rose, who was there to put on an acoustic guitar show, got into a heated row with Hilfiger for reasons that remain mysterious. Not happy with how the verbal exchange was going, Hilfiger punched Rose in the face, leaving a red mark under Rose’s eye, witnesses said. Hilfiger was promptly escorted out of the club by security guards. Rose stayed and eventually performed for the crowd.
: A reader from LA writes:
Axl was on KROQ (a local mainstream pop/rock station) this morning doing an interview, appaearntly G&R is headlining a concert they throw every year in Septmember. Anyways what AXL HIMSELF said about the scuffle was that he was simply moving Tommy’s girlfriends drink so it wouldn’t get knocked over. Tommy flipped, yelling “What the fuck?!?!” at Axl and then told him not to “fucking touch her fucking drink” and things just went south from there. Axl also said that Kid Rock saw the whole thing and told him it was “totally Detroit.”
After the jump, the beatdown is corroborated by a just-received press release*, courtesy, it seems, of Axl’s PR people.
Tommy Hilfiger was carried away by his own security people kicking and screaming after attempting to pick a fight with Guns N’ Roses main man Axl Rose at The Plumm on Thursday night.
According to The Plumm owner Noel Ashman, Hilfiger who took two swings at Rose, was fortunate that he found Rose in good spirits and a forgiving mood. Ashman said “Axl was a gentleman and had the good sense not to retaliate as he would have done some serious damage to Hilfiger.”
Rose, who was at the club to play a surprise acoustic set with his band Guns N’ Roses for actress Rosario Dawson’s birthday party, filled out a police report and later dedicated the song “You’re Crazy” to “My good friend Tommy Hilfiger” during the band’s scorching performance, which left the way beyond capacity crowd screaming for more and gasping for air well into the wee hours of the morning. Said birthday girl Dawson of Rose: “They’ve never played all acoustic, this is history in the making, how much does this fucking man rock?!”
Heh.

Best Beer
Now here’s a list that’s in great demand. As quoted below, the blogger has a system for rating the beers. Beer drinkers, check it out.
From Fraterslibertas.com
'Round about seven, maybe eight years ago I received a gift twelve pack of "beers of the world." Included in the box was a sheet to rate the various beers on a scale of -11 to 19 based on criteria such as head, color, smell, taste, and aftertaste. Since then I have used this system to evaluate over 260 beers from twenty different countries and twenty-two US states, whose ratings appear here. It's a dirty job but someone had to do it.
Web Gossip…Heh
One of my favorite Blogs, Powerline, suffered a most unfair attack by a Blog for which The Wise I used to write, Blogcritics.org.
Regard the pic below. Notice the title of the article accuses Powerline of hawking dubious investments. Notice the arrows drawn on the pic.
There, right above the Blogcritics’ article, are two advertisements for THE SAME INVESTMENTS!
Folks, I like to make fun of the Lamestream media for being hypocritical but darn if the Blogosphere isn’t quite capable of the same thing.
Blogcritics, heh. Site is so full of liberals it gave me the willies. The site has some fantastic writers. “Some”. So much of it was liberal nonsense that it would turn yon reader’s stomach.
