Also, Katie Couric's ratings continue to plunge and she was once a wannabe American Idol, now we have gossip on Jennifer Hudson.
Finally, some scoop on the Anna Nicole funeral and a story of a rather virile guinea pig that will give you envy and make you smile.

| TIDBITS On Ivory Soap and Its So-called Purity" Q. Ivory soap is "99 and 44/100% pure". Pure what? A. Pure marketing baloney it appears. In 1881, Procter & Gamble's Harley Procter decided that adding the word Pure to his Ivory soap would give its sales a necessary Shot in the arm. So he hired a New York consultant to Help him justify the addition. The consultant's analysis Proved that Ivory was almost 100% pure fatty acids and Alkali -- the stuff that most soap is made of. Ivory's Impurities were limited to 0.56%--0.11% uncombined alkali,0.28% carbonates, and 0.17% mineral matter. |
Charlotte Church Pregnant
She was billed as having the "voice of an angel" and indeed, she does. I've always liked Charlotte Church and have a few CD's of hers. To me she will always be but a child.
From Yahoo.com:
LONDON -Welsh singer Charlotte Church, who has performed for President Clinton and Pope John Paul II, announced Thursday that she is pregnant. According to her Web site, Church and rugby star-boyfriend Gavin Henson are "delighted."
Except now we find out she's pregnant and this is fine. Except, my goodness Charlotte, why are you not married?
Michael Jackson a Muslim?
First, I had no idea Jackson's brother, a hanger-on named Jermaine, was a Muslim. Second, it's obvious that Jermaine was the source for this tidbit. Third, nowhere it is confirmed that Michael converted to Islam; it's all just speculation that Michael MAY convert.
From www.andpop.com:
- Pop superstar MICHAEL JACKSON has confirmed his conversion to Islam, according to reports in the Middle East.
The Arab-Israeli newspaper Panorama claims Jackson has announced the move and revealed plans to move to Bahrain, where he has bought property.
So okay, all that clarified, Michael has been hanging around some Shiek from Bahrain. Also, Muslims have a known problem with young men and older men. Also, Muslims would welcome a convert like pervert Michael Jackson for so many reasons.
Thus while it's not true, or at least not confirmed yet, that Jackson has converted to Islam, I won't be surprised should it really happen.
Anna Nicole Now Fodder for Gossip
I've been covering the Anna Nicole flap under my True Crime category on this Blog but what with that over-the-top funeral it seemed time to insert a gossip item in the appropriate venue.
Although I hasten to mention that this Howard Stern fellow is a nefarious one. Here he is, the ONLY human on the planet, around when both Anna's son AND Anna died. Both of these people being young and healthy with very suspicious deaths. So Anna Nicole might be moved back to True Crime is what I'm saying here. As I understand it, police are now investigating Stern quite seriously.
From NYpost.com:
Undertakers have thawed Anna Nicole Smith's delicate body, placed a dainty tiara on her head, wrapped her in a frilly designer gown and placed her billionaire husband's ashes in her hands in preparation for today's funeral.
Couric Slip Sliding Away
What really surprises me is how surprised CBS is that Katie Couric, that perky darling formerly of the morning talk show brigade, can't keep her ratings up in her personna as a serious evening news anchor .
From Yahoo.com:
CBS' Katie Couric dropped to a disappointing 6,915,000 last week. That's down from the 7.57 million she inherited from Bob Schieffer in September.
After she made her highly promoted debut Sept. 4, I wrote: "Couric can't cut it if she stays on the non-news fringe she started out on this week. On her highly popular NBC morning Today 'show,' timeliness didn't matter much. On evening 'news,' timeliness matters most."
I'm tempted to shout that almost everyone across the Internet and talk radio has been complaining about the choice of perky Katie and predicted she wouldn't make it.
But of course mighty CBS didn't listen to us cretins who are mostly the ones actually watching these news shows.
So we are treated to the slow, slow, sloooooooow demise of Katie Couric in front of our very eyes and folks, it's almost painful to keep reitering "I tole you so".
Stephen Colbert "Honored" at Comedy Arts Festival
I kind of like Colbert although he's not of my own coveted idealology. I sure didn't know that there was such a thing as a U.S. Comedy Arts Festival and further, I had no idea that they nominated a "person of the year".
From Yahoo.com:
ASPEN, Colo. - Stephen Colbert, a faux conservative who often honors himself on his Comedy Central show, was lauded by the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival as their "Person of the Year."
At any rate, Colbert has been awarded the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival's "Person of the YEar".
Before Colbert gets a big head, I would remind him that my own talk show fave, Rush Limbaugh, has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize!

ASKED
You know what fashion trend is really hot this spring? Thinking caps. So why don't you go ahead and put on your best one, because that's right - it's blind item time again! Today's entry concerns one of television's sexiest leading men. His appeal, you would presume, is beyond dispute. But behind the scenes of his show, a great debate is raging over his hair - specifically how much gray he should be showing. Off camera, the guy isn't salt-'n'-pepper gray, he's practically full-on Santa Claus gray. So execs are petrified that if they take a step in the wrong direction and upset the delicate balance of his screen locks, his popularity will plummet. Personally, I think so long as it remains thick enough for viewers to want to run their fingers through it, he's golden. But that's just me. Guesses? Anyone? Everyone?

ASKED
Which living-legend actor, during a break from his long-term relationship a few years ago, paid a high-end yenta (who charges some clients up to $50,000) to set him up? The young lady was duly found, but, despite several dates, he was always too drunk by the end of the evening to consummate the relationship. "He would just lie on the bed and say, 'Squeeze hard!'" laughs the snitch.

The Virile Guinea Pig
I smiled when I came across this story of the little guinea pig that took it upon himself to single-handedly impregnate a whole harem of female guinea pigs.
And he's so damned cute too.
