Celebrity Poop


So, Alec Baldwin has now apologized for calling his daughter a disgusting pig. While I don't condone his behaviour in the least, I think what he really should be apologizing for is being so monumentally stupid, he didn't figure his phone message would end up in cyberspace. As one of my colleagues so astutely pointed out when the whole thing broke - you can't fart anymore without it ending up on Youtube or TMZ. I initially thought sweet little Ireland leaked it herself, but that's apparently not the case. Too bad - if I had been her, I would have been bawling on CNN within an hour of hearing it. The poor girl is caught in the middle of that horrific trainwreck that is the Baldwin/Basinger divorce, which would totally justify her using it as ammo. A girl's gotta fight back somehow.

Rosie's gone from The View as of June. What's truely unfortunately is that she'll still be on the planet. I cannot. fucking. stand. her. Big mouth and no brain = annoying to the nth degree. And all this "ooh, ooh, ABC and Babwa Wawa were embarassed by her." Whatever - the woman drew better ratings than Britney Spears shaving her head. Every time Rosie opened her mouth and stuck her foot in it - which was pretty much every single time - the execs at ABC started rubbing their hands together in glee. I did like some of the late night jokes, though. Jay Leno said the news was so big, they woke Barbara up in the middle of the show to tell her. Insert rim shot here.

And Richard Gere is now a wanted man in India, after planting a good one on a Bollywood actress during an AIDS charity event. The buzzes on the cheek flagrantly defied the country's purity laws. It's outrageous that the actress has now been charged as well, because a judge figured she didn't do enough to stop Gere from "assaulting" her. What's even worse - I suspect Gere did it on purpose to make a point, then hightailed his ass back to the U-S-of-A where you can rape a woman and get a slap on the wrist and a "bad boy" by the courts. While I of course don't agree with the laws, "when in Rome" man. He should go back and face the charges like a man. At least he kissed a woman and didn't do anything obscene with a hamster.
