ABC News: Experts: Oprah Sought to Protect Brand
Oh, for God’s sake, let it *go already. I, for one, have *less trust in Oprah now. I don’t believe her little performance for even a moment. Her people told her to do damage control, and she did.
As for Frey’s lies…I admit that I still dig the book. [...]

I know I shouldn’t laugh. I’m sure that hurts like mad. But still. :mad cackling:

FDA Panel Recommends OTC Weight-Loss Pill
Yeah, one of the side effects of this product (listed in manufacturer’s release)? Explosive diarrhea. Explosive. Diarrhea! And we’re going to make this an OTC. I’m never going in public again.

Paris: Free Stuff? She’ll Take 20!
Oh, Paris. 20 dog collars? Really? After peeing in the cab, sweetie, you don’t have a lot of wiggle room in the eyes of the public. Just stay home for a while, ok? Or at least stop confirming the theory that money doesn’t give someone class.

Mmk. Let me see if I’m understanding this - Welshofer didn’t know [...]

Bobby & Whitney Staying Together
Well, thank *God. I was staying up nights worrying about these two. I mean, the man dug a dootie bubble for this woman and told the world about it on television. How can anyone divorce after *that?

Idol Twins Busted on Forgery Charges | American Idol : People.com
Huh. Does AI not do *any sort of background check on these folks? I realize that asking them to run a background check on *every person who does an initial audition is unrealistic, but how ’bout doing one between saying, “Welcome to Hollywood” and airing [...]
