A Marriage to Marilyn Manson Didn’t Work Out

Friday, January 5th, 2007

I know, I know. Crazy. But Page Six reports that the beautiful Dita Von Teese filed for divorce from the “rocker,” after only a year of marriage (although they dated for several years before that), citing irreconcilable differences. Manson will be served with divorce papers at an L.A. recording studio, since Von Teese can’t seem to get ahold of him any other way.

Says a Dita ally: “He’s not been responsive. She loved him so much, but he has too many demons. He can’t even communicate with her at this point. She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can’t even get him on the phone. She moved out of the house and he hasn’t even noticed.”

Quips another pal: “Well, at least now she won’t have to share her makeup.”

So true.

Britney Has Something to Say, Ya’ll

Friday, January 5th, 2007

From the pop tart’s website:

Dear Fans,

It has been a while since I’ve addressed you personally here on my official website. The last couple of years have been quite a ride for me, the media has criticized my every move and printed a skewed perception of who I really am as a human being. Behind every decision I have made in my public life there always seems to be an apparent contradiction. I have come to terms with that which is why I usually don’t pay much attention to it.

The last couple of years have been very enlightening for me and now that I’ve had the time to be “me,” I’ve been able to sit down and think about where I want to go with myself as an entertainer with absolutely no strings attached. I am now more mature and feel like I am finally “free.” I’ve been working so hard on this new album and I can’t wait for you all to hear it and to go on tour again! I would like to exclusively tell you that I am working hard to release the new album sometime later this year, but the date is of course not certain yet. I look forward to coming back this year bigger and better than ever, and to also reaching out to my fans on a more personal level. I noticed today that one of my biggest fansites is shutting down soon and I want you all to know that I do understand all the reasons that went behind making that decision, and I am sad to see it closing. If I were you I’d be unhappy too if I had to read what I’ve been reading every day. But trust me, I get it. I know I’ve been far from perfect and the media has had a lot of fun exaggerating my every move, but I want you all to know that I love my fans so much, and I appreciate everything you have done for me, so Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Love,
Britney

I’ve read that, when this was first posted, it was typo-tastic, but Brit’s people got to it and cleaned it up. Or, you know, totally rewrote it, probably. If anyone has a copy of the original, please send it along.

Things to Do at Work Because It’s Friday

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Well, I guess it’s technically Thursday night right now, but, by the time you all read this, it’ll be Friday. And there’s no need to do real work on Friday.

1. Test your movie know-how with The Invisibles quizzes on FilmWise. I’ll give you a few to start out with. Can you identify these films?



2. Check out Wil Wheaton’s reviews of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes on TV Squad. I cannot believe it took me so long to discover these. They’re hilarious.

3. Imagine if your favorite (or least favorite) actors got all the film roles they’d auditioned for, or took all the roles they were offered. Michelle Pfeiffer as the star of Basic Instinct? (She turned it down.) Tom Hanks as the lead in Jerry Maguire? Ew! (He passed.) Nicole Kidman as the star of Catwoman? (She was considered but wasn’t offered the role.) Check out more fun facts at NotStarring.com.

4. Check out re-cut movie trailers and trailer mash-ups at TheTrailerMash.com. I’ve posted one of my favorites here. It’s Garden State re-cut to look like a thriller. Plenty more where that came from.

Got other ideas of things to do at work because it’s Friday? What are your favorite time-killing websites? Share them in the comments or email us and we’ll post ‘em. We’re all in this together, folks. Let’s not be any more productive than we have to be.

Lohan Only in Hospital for Something Medical

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

NEW YORK (AP) — Lindsay Lohan was to have surgery to remove her appendix, her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, said Thursday. Zelnik said in an e-mail that the 20-year-old actress was “having her appendix removed. She is resting comfortably.”

Well, I hope our girl is feeling better and enjoying ice cream. That said, what kind of publicist needs three names? Thanks for the info Leslie Sloane Zelnik!
