People Who Are Having a Worse Day Than You: Model Katoucha Niane’s Body Found in the Seine

Friday, February 29th, 2008

I know, I know. It’s Friday, and you’re at work, and time seems to be standing still. And the guy you banged after Happy Hour on Tuesday who said he’d take you out tonight still hasn’t called. And you realize just how much weight you’re putting on when the button on your work pants pops out. And your boss is in one of his moods, and your mom keeps calling to talk about how her cat has ringworm, and your office crush won’t shut up about the new girl he’s dating, and your nail broke, and you forgot to bring an extra tampon to work, and someone ate your yogurt out of the fridge, and you just can’t imagine how today could get any worse. But think on the bright side: at least Parisian authorities didn’t pull your decomposed corpse out of the Seine today.

The body of supermodel Katoucha Niane was pulled out of the river in Paris today. Niane has been missing since January. She was assumed to have accidentally fallen off of her houseboat after a night of drinking and partying.

Her career highlights included walking for Thierry Mugler, Paco Rabanne, Lacroix and serving as a muse to Yves Saint Laurent himself.

RIP, kiddo.

Katherine Heigl Wants Off Grey’s Anatomy

According to the current issue of National Enquirer, Katherine Heigl is doing whatever she can to get out of her Grey’s contract so that she can pursue her movie career.

After starring in the hit films Knocked Up and 27 Dresses, Katherine believes she has outgrown the small screen – and her agent is working overtime so she can devote herself full time to movies, sources say.

“Katherine has even suggested to ‘Grey’s’ producers that they kill her character Dr. Izzie Stevens in dramatic fashion so her exit could bring in huge ratings,” a pal of the 29-year-old Emmy winner told The Enquirer. Newly married to rocker Josh Kelley and riding high on her box-office appeal, Katherine has formed a production company with her mother Nancy, whos her manager, and she’s being swamped with movie offers, said the pal.

But leaving “Grey’s” will be an uphill battle because her contract with Touchstone and ABC is ironclad for the next two years, according to another source.

I for one am TOTALLY in favor of this. I am so sick of Izzie Stephens it makes me want to die, too. Kill her off and set her free, ABC!

In Case You Missed It

Check out Alaina Whitaker breaking into tears after being eliminated from AmIdol this week.

I’ve been sitting on this clip for a day. I didn’t want to post it because, honestly, I felt really bad for her. But, you know what? It’s good drama. So here ya go.

Okay, Never Mind, Prince Harry’s Not in Afghanistan Anymore

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Looks like since Matt Drudge decided to be an asshole and report Harry’s presence in Afghanistan, he’s been pulled out.

The Ministry of Defense called the rampant reporting of Harry’s deployment by “elements of the foreign media…regrettable,” and said that while the prince was expected to return to Britain in a matter of weeks, the situation had now “clearly changed.”

“Following a detailed assessment of the risks by the operational chain of command, the decision has been taken…to withdraw Prince Harry from Afghanistan immediately,” the Ministry said.

The decision to pull Harry out of the combat zone comes after the collapse of a media blackout. While U.K. reporters and media outlets were already aware of his deployment, they entered into an embargo agreement with the military not to report on his service until he returned home safely.

The jig was up, however, when the Drudge Report broke the news, in turn claiming that it had pieced together information from Australian press last month.

Americans. We’re so helpful.

Cleveland’s Getting His Own Show

It’s no secret that I’m a huge Family Guy fan.

And I’m actually kind of bummed to hear that they’re going to spin off the life of Cleveland Brown into its own series.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new animated series, tentatively titled Cleveland, will be coming from the same comic minds that brought Stewie & Co. into the mainstream, with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, former Simpsons writer and American Dad exec producer Rich Appel and Family Guy writer-producer, not to mention the voice of Cleveland himself, Mike Henry, on board to write the new show.

Not much is known about Cleveland other than the fact it will revolve around the Brown clan. It’s unclear whether the series will remain set in the town of Quahog or whether Cleveland, along with his wife and son, will continue to appear on Family Guy, though as both series are animated, the double-billing won’t so much be a logistical problem as a creative decision.

I dunno. I hate spin-offs. They never work. Everything’s going so well on Family Guy. Don’t fuck it up, guys.

The Secret’s Out and the Photos Are Up

Now that Prince Harry’s dirty little secret is out — he’s been serving in Afghanistan for the past 10 weeks — photos of him out there have hit the web.

It’s really shitty that the fact that he’s there got leaked. It compromises his safety and the safety of his fellow soldiers. But I have to say, even though I’m not a Brit, I feel a great deal of pride for Harry. I’m sure he didn’t have to go — he wanted to defend his country like the rest of his friends, and I give him mad props for that. Britain should be very proud of its prince.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, Pictures, Photos

Lindsay Lohan’s brave run at recovery is officially over.

She was spotted leaving dinner in LA with Samantha Ronson last night.

Let me explain the math on this one:

Samantha Ronson = cocaine.

It’s over, kids.
