Here’s a group of Hollywood celebs — albeit Z-listers — urging Minnesotans to vote against former SNL-er Al Franken, who’s running for Senate in that state (and who, based on recent polls, may actually win the damn thing).
Among them is another ex-SNL-er, Victoria Jackson, best known for going totally off the deep end with insane religious fervor in the past decade or so. Honestly, whomever you support in this election, the political musings on Victoria’s personal website are fucking insane. Some choice quotes:
“I hope that America realizes that Obama is a communist before it’s too late.”
“Thank you God above for giving us George W. Bush, and for giving us John McCain and Sarah Palin.”
“I don’t want a political label, but Obama bears traits that resemble the anti-Christ and I’m scared to death that un-educated people will ignorantly vote him into office.”
“I wouldn’t want to be Obama on Judgement Day, but I especially don’t want him to be the leader of my country.”
“Come On America! Wake Up! How stupid can you people be?! One of the leading Islamic Extremist organizations, Hamas, endorsed Obama! HELLO!”
Sarah Burge, a 49-year-old housewife in Britain, has spent £539,500 — or about $863K with the current conversion rates — on plastic surgery.
She’s had over 100 surgeries and procedures. And get this — her first plastic surgery? Was reconstructive surgery after she was beat up and left for dead. No, really. This woman needs to spend that money on therapy.
Says Sarah: “It’s addictive – you find yourself wondering what you can have done next? It’s not that I’m unhappy with the way I look – I’ve always been confident about my appearance. That’s why I want to keep my body and face as they are. All the work I’ve had done has been to stop the aging process.”
An LA court ruled today that Britney Spears’ father will retain indefinite control of her personal and financial affairs. The standing agreement was set to expire on December 31 of this year.
It’s a move the singer apparently approves: A court-appointed attorney said the details had been explained to the 26-year-old and she agreed not to oppose it.
Spears could petition later to have the conservatorship removed, but the court’s order otherwise constitutes a lifetime arrangement, a court information officer said. Attorneys for Jamie Spears declined to comment after the hearing.
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Reva Goetz said she was granting the permanent conservatorship in part because Britney Spears has shown she is “susceptible to undue influence.”
Based on the attorneys’ recommendations and other evaluations of the singer, Goetz said making conservatorship permanent was “necessary and appropriate.”
The move came after a lengthy closed-chambers meeting, and follows a recent medical evaluation of the singer.
Let me translate: Britney Spears is crazy and everybody seems to recognize that. She’s basically going to be treated legally as a child for the rest of her life.
It’s sad, but it’s better than the way things were before.
“I think what has been striking in this campaign is the the degree to which these kind of hate groups have been marginalized. That’s not who America is. That’s not who our future is. What I’ve found is people here don’t care what color you are. What they’re trying to figure out is who can deliver. It’s just like the Pittsburgh Steelers: they don’t care what color you are, they just want to figure out, can you make the plays?”
There’s a simple reason for that: I have no love life.
But, honestly, I spend more of my day trying to puzzle out Jen’s romantic entanglements than I spend trying to figure out why I am Man Repellent. Seriously I should try to patent me and sell me to the military. They could just put me on the front lines and men would run in the opposite direction. I’m a more valuable military asset than Twitter!
What was I talking about?
Oh, yeah. Jen. After being spotted with Gerard Butler, she was once again with John Mayer at the Sunset Tower hotel.
The two left together and got into an SUV.
What is it with Jennifer and the Sunset Tower hotel these days?
They must sell some really good weed there or something.
