POP CULTURE UPDATE-Will Princess Di Ever Die?

It's Pop Culture Update time and folks, Princess Di...the driver was drunk, the tunnel was dangerous, they had on no seatbelts and were going on almost 100 mph.

Time to put on our common sense hats and look into what might be behind this constant attempt to blame the wayward princesses' death on conspiracies.

Jennifer Aniston caught topless again, Sharon Stone causes an international incident and yes, the guy really got drunk and fell asleep on the railroad tracks.

Children Define "Love"

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 - 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."

Rebecca- age 8

"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth."
Billy - age 4

"Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."
Karl - age 5

"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs."
Chrissy - age 6

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terri - age 4

"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."
Danny - age 7

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They look gross when they kiss"
Emily - age 8

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."
Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)

"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"
Nikka - age 6

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and then he wears it everyday."
Noelle - age 7

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
Tommy - age 6

"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."

Princess Diana Declared Dead by Car Accident! Duh.

Come on folks. It’s Occam’s Razor all over again.

Get into a car driven by a very drunk chauffeur, rev the car up to over a hundred miles per hour, drive it through a tunnel with huge pillars alongside the roadway then boom, swerve directly into one of those poles. Oh and be sure to not bother with seatbelts.

It’s a sure-fire recipe for death, sweet and simple.

From the Herald Sun:
Image hosted by Photobucket.comA LONG-awaited report into the death of Princess Diana in a Paris car crash due out today is expected to refute theories of a plot by British intelligence targeting her and confirm a French probe that said it was an accident.

The report by Lord John Stevens, the former commissioner of London's Metropolitan Police, has concluded that Diana died in a traffic accident after her driver lost control of the car, British newspapers said today.

Dodi Fayed, Diana’s “boyfriend” at the time, died along with the princess. Fayed’s father is a Muslim and owner of Harrod’s department store in London. This man has spent the last ten years or so trying to convince the world that Princess Diana and his son were killed as a result of a nefarious plot by British intelligence and the Royals to get the embarrassing Diana out of their lives.

Now we have yet another report declaring Diana died as a result of that horrific car crash but don’t think the conspiracy theories about Diana’s death will go away anytime soon.

For now, let’s talk about pathetic Diana.

First, she knew all about her husband-to-be and his true love, Camilla Parker Bowles, on the day she married the jug-eared prince. It’s been reported in the many books about Diana that she overheard Charles talking to Camilla on their wedding day. Well this would clue number one to most women.

I don’t think Diana thought for a minute that she was the love of Charles’ life. Charles needed heirs and Camilla couldn’t provide them for whatever reason. Diana has been quoted as saying she was used by the royals as a “brood mare” and, indeed, she was.

But she knew that all along and readily accepted the terms and conditions of the deal, including a fairy tale wedding and all the accoutrements of royalty and wealth. Not bad for having a couple of babies.

Only Diana became quite savvy about public relations and knew how to woo the public with her winsome prettiness and her victim status.

Those paparazzi who chased Fayed and Di all over Paris had been told well in advance where the Dodo Fayed and the princess would be dining. The cameras already captured many pics of Di and Dodo out on his boat and what, do you really think they just happened upon the couple as they sunbathed happily on the boat in the middle of a big ocean? Diana was right regular about notifying the tabloids where she would be for a big photo op.

Now let’s consider Diana’s pet charity, the removal of landmines between North and South Korea. Come on, folks. Those landmines were put there for a reason. We’ve all heard of the fine Kim Jong-Il of North Korea? Little porn-loving midget who makes nukes for Iran and other middle east dictators and despots even though his citizens must eat the bark from trees to survive? Yeah, that shrimpy creep.

South Korea is a thriving country kept strong with some help from the American military while North Korea starves and is kept in the dark. Don’t you think a hoard of North Koreans wouldn’t love to descend down to its south, overwhelming that country and killing its economy? Also, hey, perhaps Kim Jong-Il would like to take a stroll down south and rid the world of that country that so taunts his citizens.

Those landmines were put there for a reason but as those things tend to go, a child would occasionally wonder where it shouldn’t ought to go and would lose a limb.

Well, hey, it’s a sight and sound byte that can’t help but appeal. Who on earth would argue in FAVOR of blowing off children’s limbs?

Except to remove those landmines would have endangered the entire planet; at the very least it would have put South Korea and China at great risk.

Diana didn’t care. She wanted the perfect heart-warming charity because it was all about HER, not the children. If Diana really cared about children, she’d have been knee-deep in Africa where Malaria and Aids are decimating their population. She’d have been railing world leaders to stop the slaughter in Darfur or, in her time, Rawanda.

Diana managed to promote her image and she did so quite effectively. She desperately wanted to embarrass the royal family who deserted her. Which is why Diana made getting tabloid attention a career and which is why she even messed around with Dodo Fayed to begin with. Lord, Diana didn’t love that man. Likely she hated his guts he was such a dimwit.

Diana also had great ambition. She desperately wanted to get with John Kennedy Jr. and dreamed of being the next Jacqueline Kennedy, fashion-perfect first lady of the United States of America. In her pursuit of feminine greatness, Diana had many wealthy and influential males on her radar. She was also a bit of a stalker was our Diana.

The truth is, Diana was a pretty young girl who was chosen to bear the heirs to the throne of England. She was a good choice for that in that she did right quick give birth to two fine sons, “an heir and a spare” or so they say.

She knew the truth even before she married Charles and hey, maybe she thought she could win his love over time. Women do tend to get romantic and impractical like that at times.

Diana pushed the envelope a little too far when she thought her beauty would save her from a drunk driver speeding through dangerous Parisian tunnels while her royal self couldn’t be bothered with seatbelts.

I pity Princess Diana and ponder that had this young woman had her priorities straight she could have lived a happy and productive life. For sure she would have lived to see her handsome sons grow to adults. She was their mother and I’m sure she loved them.

The woman threw it all away via some very bad choices.

Hey, I understand. Even us schlubs out here in la-la land make stupid mistakes time and again. Difference is WE don’t have a nutty Muslim father demanding constant investigations into the obvious. Muslims live, die and breathe with artful lies. They create an alternate reality at the drop of a hat should that be the goal.

It’s time to let Diana…die.

Speaking of Miffed Royalty

Goodness, I didn’t even know that Norway had a King and Queen.

Anyway, Sharon Stone, lovely has-been American actress, shocked the world by showing up ten minutes AFTER the Norwegian King and Queen had already arrived. Evidently that’s considered bad form in these types of events.

From Celebslam.com:
Pretty much the entire country of Norway is pissed off at Sharon Stone after she upstaged their King and Queen. Stone arrived 10 minutes late to a dinner in Oslo honoring the Nobel Peace Prize winners. Royal protocol has it that the King and Queen are to be the last arrivals, not run of the mill actresses with fading careers:

Like the Celebslam web owner points out, Sharon Stone is quite vocal about how President Bush has ruined America’s reputation in the world. Yet she, la-di-da, ignores Norwegian protocol and waltzes into a dinner after the royal couple have arrived and in one fell swoop, makes Americans look like self-centered idiots who can’t be bothered with the traditions of other countries.

Heh.

Jennifer Aniston Topless Again

There’s no story here, just another pic of former star of “Friends” Jennifer Aniston topless AGAIN. Originally covered on this Blog HERE, it seems that ole Jennifer keeps getting caught without a top and hey, you’d think she’d get a clue and maybe stop going out and about without, well without a top.

Jennifer Anniston topless

Seems times have been tough for Aniston and movie offers too few and far between. Hollywood lives and dies by the priceless gold of attention and hey, if you gotta walk around topless for attention, then do it girl.

Of course you gotta feign shock as the cameras snap the pics and via backroom negotiations, get a price for those pics to be splashed all over the tabloids. I have no proof of this but it’s how fading celebs tweak out every dime from their former celebrated status; fake a sneaky topless pic, pretend to be outraged, then settle the monetary issue behind the scenes.

Keep watching, folks. Soon there will be X-rated home movies featuring Jennifer. These X-rated movies will show up somewhere in the Internet and boom, another money-raising opportunity orchestrated behind the scenes.

Pamela Anderson made a fortune with X-rated home movies that her housekeeper “stole”.

Hey, I’m amused. But I’m certainly not fooled.

BLIND ITEM FUN

From: **Janet Charlton BLIND ITEM 12/19**

ASKED

This A-list actor has a bachelor pad in the valley that swings in all directions. It's fully loaded with pool, game room, gym, basketball court etc. Recently word got out among the guys that he was having a party and one friend invited a new guy in town. The new dude was thrilled to be invited to a big star's home to hang out with him and his famous buddies. Imagine his shock when he walked up to the house and rang the bell and the host answered the door stark naked! The bigtime actor casually explained they were having a game of "naked
basketball." The newcomer looked around and noted the group was all male and all nude! No girls allowed! He made an excuse to quickly depart and won't soon forget that naked basketball party .

GUESSED
  • Danny Pino of "Cold Case Files."
  • Sounds like Matthew "Naked Bongo Player" McConaghey...
  • Clooney. He was a college basketball player, and still loves to play with his "buddies".

    Trump versus Rosie

    Well I am certainly enjoying the on-air spat between Rosie and The Donald these past few days.

    But of course, yon ladies and gems, I am ever on the job, observing the Pop Culture scene and being entertained by the celebrities who would, well, entertain us.

    First, The Donald owns the Miss Universe pageant and give the man credit, what with his upcoming Apprentice series in LA beginning after the first of the year, he needed some national attention. Enter the current Miss U.S.A. (this contest is part of the Miss Universe contest series) who evidently hasn’t been behaving very well. It’s not at all clear just what Miss U.S.A., Tara Conner, is guilty of but allegations include alcoholism, cocaine use, the spreading of her legs without discrimination and dancing upon NY nightclub table tops.

    The Donald artfully stretched out his “decision” about whether to fire Conner or not and at a grand press conference Trump and Tara announced that she will be getting a second chance.

    Goodness folks, I do believe Miss U.S.A. overplayed her role a bit during that press conference. I wanted to reach through my TV set, grab the blond bimbo, and slap her silly. Her histrionics were almost painful. But as planned, Conner graciously thanked her savior Donald Trump and gave future Oprah audiences a weepy sound byte that will have them sobbing in sympathy.

    To add to The Donald’s artful manipulation of the Lamestream media, Rosie O’Donnell, mean lesbian talk star of “The View” goes on a rampage regarding Trump’s qualifications to be a judge of all things moral.

    But it got better.

    The Donald’s been out and about and lambasting Rosie O so much that I almost feel sorry for the woman. He’s called her a fat slob and threatened to provide Rosie’s life partner with a REAL man.

    So far as I am concerned, they can insult each other all day and night. The Donald, hey he needs the publicity. As for Rosie, heh, she can take it.

    Meanwhile let’s all butter the popcorn and enjoy the show these celebs are putting on for OUR benefit, ladies and gems.

    2007 Golden Globe Nominations

    First, some reminders.

    The 64th Golden Globe Awards will be held on January 15, 2007 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Beverly Hills, CA.

    Also, check in on this Blog’s fine fashion report on the 2006 Golden Globe award show.

    Now about this year’s nominations, detailed HERE.

    Okay, “Brokeback Mountain” is a nominee for Best Dramatic Movie? Folks they are going to keep shoving this cowboy queer movie down our throats because surely if the American public was too stupid to actually go and SEE the movie (save perhaps three or four souls in San Francisco), then Hollywood will continue to grant the movie awards until it becomes a classic without bother of us idiots and fools out here in la-la land. “Brokeback Mountain” is nominated for plenty of other awards, including best director and best musical score. Can’t award a non-money-making movie enough it would seem.

    Pervert Woody Allen is nominated for Director for the film “Match Point”, which I’ve never heard of.

    And oh dear Lord, can you believe that nominated for television drama series we’ve got none other than the ill-fated and little-watched “Commander-In-Chief” series. Hey, fail enough and the awards come tumbling down from the Hollywood metrosexuals.

    We are pleased that Kiefer Sutherland got a nod for best actor in the “24” series.

    Every one of the actresses on “Desperate Housewives” got a nomination for best comedy/musical. It should be fun to see which one beats out who. Not a single male on DH got a nomination, heh.

    Finally, just for a hoot, we note that Donald Sutherland, father of Kiefer, got a nomination for best supporting actor in, duh, “Commander in Chief”. Well I guess they had to nominate Kiefer of the extremely successful “24” series since they nominated his father for the failed “Commander in Chief”.

    Gets Drunk and Falls Asleep on Railroad Track

    We end with this fine warning to avoid too much holiday imbibing or you too might be using a railroad tie as a pillow.

    From THISISLONDON.com:
    Drunk Man sleeping on railroad tracks A drunk company director was in court today after passing out on a railway track in the afternoon rush hour.

    Kevin Craswell, 48, consumed a "lethal" amount of vodka and was seen by passengers at 3.30pm crawling along the railway at Epsom.

    Astonishing pictures show him asleep and using the rail as a pillow. Witnesses even said they could hear him snoring from the platform.
