Seriously is it just me or does it look like America Ferrera is sporting a baby bump in that picture? I wonder if that is a storyline on Ugly Betty, like she wears a prosthetic baby bump to see what it is like to be pregnant and writes an article about it. Or maybe America will have some to news to share with us all soon? I think it is the first though.

Seriously doesn’t it look like Fergie is wearing a big old garbage bag? If I didn’t like Fergie, I would say she is wearing the appropriate dress because it is time to throw the trash out. Oh wait, I think I just said it, oh well.

Beatrice Arthur, the tall, deep-voiced actress whose razor-sharp delivery of comedy lines made her a TV star in the hit shows “Maude” and “The Golden Girls” and who won a Tony Award for the musical “Mame,” died Saturday. She was 86.

Lady Godiva was a freedom rider,
she didn’t care of the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc, with the lord to guide her,
she was a sister who really cooked.
Isadora was a first bra burner
Aint’ ya glad she showed up?
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up
And then there’s Maude

The first video is a Sex And The City spoof, Bea did for the TV Land Awards

The second video is Bea on Rosie

Apparently everyone thinks HBO is going to clean up at Emmy time with Grey Gardens which stars Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore. The one tiny problem HBO had was convincing Jessica Lange to nominate herself for Supporting Actress rather than Actress. She didn’t want to do it. I don’t blame her. If someone is on screen the same amount of time, why should she throw herself into a category she doesn’t want to be in just to please HBO and give Drew Barrymore a chance to win an Emmy.

For their part, HBO had this to say to Page Six, “Both performances have been widely praised and critically acclaimed. We are thrilled with the reception that ‘Grey Gardens’ has received. HBO would never presume to dictate which category an actor chooses for award submissions. We do engage in a dialogue with actors and filmmakers to facilitate the process, but the actor’s decision is always final.”

Yeah, Jessica’s decision was final, but you can tell from the statement that they wanted to avoid any drama and to have the chance for each to go home a winner so they could claim it in advertising or whatever. Everyone thinks that Drew will win the Emmy for best actress, but Jessica Lange has won two Academy Awards so you just never know.

I think Robert DeNiro is losing his mind. There really can be no other explanation for Mary Kate Olsen to be a juror at the Tribeca Film Festival. Well, there are other explanations, but Robert is married so I prefer to think of this as some misguided belief that Mary Kate knows something about movies. I would say she knows nothing about fashion, but I think that is wrong. She doesn’t know how to dress, but she and her sister have that fashion line Elizabeth & James which sells out everywhere.

Maybe it is the same with movies. Maybe she knows a good movie when she watches it, she just doesn’t actually like to be in any good movies herself. I hope that is the case, because if I was a filmmaker I would have a tough time being judged by someone who starred in and produced New York Minute and The Challenge. I mean she was responsible for those disasters so she must have thought they would be good. Now, someone has maybe their entire future hinging on whether Mary Kate Olsen likes their movie. If it is depressing and features a chain smoking homeless looking person I think you have a winner on your hands.

That headline doesn’t sound quite right. I’m not sure rumors can be gay or straight. Notice I’m spelling it Rumor, and not Rumer, because obviously, Rumer is a person and a Rumor is a thought. Rumer is probably gay or straight. I mean she could be bi I guess. Oh, or asexual. Anyway, Hugh Jackman gave an interview to Parade Magazine and he confused the hell out of me when he was asked about the rumors that he is gay.

“I’d be happy to go and deny it, because I’m not [gay]. But, by denying it, I’m saying there is something shameful about it, and there isn’t anything shameful.”

How is it saying that being gay is shameful if you deny you are gay. If I tell someone I’m not gay, how does that answer in any possible way say that you think it is shameful to be gay. It is a yes or no answer.

It is no different than asking are you the color blue? If you say no, is there something shameful about not being the color blue?

I can’t believe he didn’t try and clarify his remarks, because they are very confusing.

He also said the only place anyone cares whether he is gay is here in the US.

“The questions about sexuality I find more here in America than anywhere else, because it’s a big hang-up and defines what people think about themselves and others. It’s not a big issue in Australia.”

The Daily Express in London is reporting the ridiculous idea that Kirsten Dunst is not sure whether or not she wants to participate in Spiderman 4 and 5. Tobey Maguire is already on board for the new installments, but supposedly Kirsten wants to make sure the story is going to be a strong one in terms of her character.

Uh huh. Umm. Kirsten. It’s Spiderman. It’s a job. A very easy job which pays you gobs of money and allows you to sit around and do nothing for two years until the next one. If you want to do a strong character role, then great, spend some time in between Spiderman movies and do an indie. I’m sure they would love to have you.

Does anyone honestly think Kirsten would ever walk away from the Spiderman movies? It would be the biggest screwup ever in the walking out contests. Bigger than Caruso and NYPD Blue. Bigger than Shelley Long in Cheers. She won’t do it. She might be bluffing for more money, but lets face it. What else would she do?

NBC News in Los Angeles is reporting that Michael Jackson’s driver hit an ambulance parked outside Cedars-Sinai hospital. After hitting the ambulance the driver of Michael’s SUV then got out of the vehicle with an umbrella and picked up Michael Jackson. The pair got into the vehicle and drove away without ever talking to the ambulance driver or passenger to see if they were ok. They didn’t exchange information. They just left.

Is there really that much of sense of entitlement in this world? Just because you are a celebrity or work for a celebrity doesn’t mean you can just drive away from an accident. I hate this kind of entitlement. No one knows if it was Michael’s idea or the driver’s idea but they both should have done the right thing. Can you imagine if any of us had done this? We would all have spent some time in jail by now. But, because Michael is a washed up singer with a lot of money he gets a pass. And his driver gets a pass.

Where is our pass?
