You can listen to the whole thing here for free and without breaking any laws.

It’s all the same tracks from the leak earlier, except “Blur” and “My Baby” were not on the leak.

Go check it out and tell me what you think!

Update: You know, I just realized, one of my favorite tracks from the leak was called “Phonography,” and it doesn’t appear to be on the final album. Booooo for that!

Second update: Dude, “Amnesia” didn’t make it either. Rough cut of the album was better than the final cut. Total bullshit.

Whose little boy was having a (soccer) field day with the paparazzi camped outside his house on Sunday?

Answer is after the jump.

The Colbert Report

Tonight my husband, Stephen Colbert, will be hosting A Colbert Christmas on Comedy Central at 10pmEST/PT & 9/C.  Guests include Toby Keith, Willie Nelson, John Legend, Elvis Costello and Jon Stewart.

As much as I worship Colbert, I’m not feeling too confident about this.  I hope the rest of the show is an improvement from this clip which is positively cringe-worthy despite the crazy laughing audience…who are those people?  Comedy Central has high hopes for this special though.  It premieres tonight and is available this Tuesday on DVD.

This is why I don’t believe in karma.  Kathy Cox, state Schools Superintendent was the first person to win the top prize of a million dollars on Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?  Have you ever seen this show?  No one ever seems to go all the way to the million dollar questions but the lower dollar value questions that areasked seem really easy.  I’m not saying that in a “Aren’t I a genius?” sort of way.  Hell, I just misspelled ”genius.”  And “misspelled.”  And once took a Yugo for a test drive.  But it’s a fairly entertaining show.  Your kids can watch it and with a little effort, it’s possible to tune out host Jeff Foxworthy.  So Kathy Cox wins the million this summer.  She donated her entire winnings to the Atlanta Area School for the Deaf, the Georgia School for the Deaf and to the Georgia Academy for the Blind.  Completely generous…right?  And under the theory of karma, good things happen to good people.

Now, a few months later, her husband’s construction business just failed.  And this week they had to file for bankruptcy.  So much for “what goes around, comes around.”  Sometimes life just sucks.  This story breaks my heart. 

Kathy Cox being asked the final, million dollar question is at about the five minute mark.

The British tab News of the World  (I know, I know but I still think it’s true) is reporting that celebuchef Gordon Ramsay has been cheating on his wife for the better half of the last decade.  Hey…things happen.  People have lapses in judgement.  But a seven-year lapse?  

Ramsay always seems to make a point of praising his amazing wife and happy marriage whenever he’s doing press.  I remember watching something on television (maybe I read it) where he said that his wife was the only woman in the world that turns him on.  And I remember thinking that was a little over the top.  So yeah, he really works the major family man image.   It’s disappointing.  Are there any faithful men left?

Now, about the other woman: Her name is Sarah Symonds and she’s a professional.  She’s a spokesperson for Ashley Madison, a website that is like Disneyland for adulterers.  She wrote a book titled Having An Affair? A Handbook For The Other Woman as well as a blog that she updates with lots of helpful hints on how to be a satisfying other woman.  Symonds has even been on Oprah touting the benefits of dating married dudes.  Personally, being a harlot sounds like way more work than being a wife.   

Have a nice (VERY SIMPLE) dinner ready for when he comes over to you - served of course, wearing nothing more than an apron, and some very sexy stilettos.

 Prepare yourself (NOTE:  Always take longer on your preparation than the meal preparation).  Be refreshed, smelling great, and looking fabulous!  Always remember, you are in competition with the wife.

Be happy to see him, greet him warmly, and show sincerity in your desire to be with him (fake the sincerity if you ever need to).

Make sure your place is an oasis of peace, order, and tranquility.  Where your married man can feel relaxed and renew himself in body and spirit.

David Spade has something going on in his pants and I need to investigate.  By hand.  In the dark.  People is reporting that he’s nailing dating Nicolette Sheridan.  He looks like a rodent and didn’t want to admit paternity of his child.  And he’s getting fat!  In other words, he has neither looks nor personality going for him.  How is he fathering children with Playmates and getting women like Heather Locklear and now Sheridan?

Anyway, this is People reporting this.  Not The Sun.  Which means that there is a chance that this story is actually true.  The mag says that they arrived separately at Nicolette’s birthday party at Luau and that winking, cuddling and making out were involved.  Gah!

Pics of David Spade and Nicolette Sheridan last night though thankfully none of them together.  It allows me to live in my safe cocoon of denial a bit longer.

After a federal mediator has failed to produce harmony, peace and choruses of Kumbaya between The Screen Actors Guild and The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, SAG is asking its members to authorize a strike.  A seventy-five percent vote is required to make the strike a reality.  Speaking of reality, I hope you are all prepared for three hour episodes of The Biggest Loser and bad game shows and PBS because there is going to be nothing on television.  Why do these strikes always happen in the dead of winter (here) when there is nothing to do except watch TV or have sex?  I predict an east coast population boom September 09.

SAG is looking for union coverage for all Internet-only productions and the AMPTP won’t go for that.  Does this sound at all familiar?  This is soooo last year Writers Guild of America.

I know that, in time, the two sides will come to some sort of amicable agreement.  Let’s pray for a resolution soon because I’m rilly, rilly anxious for Tara Reid to get back in front of the camera.

It’s here!
