Stuff On My Cat

I love this site: Stuff On My Cat. So many cute pictures. We were at Borders today and I saw the book there, was tempted to get it. But didn't.

Oprah, Queen of America

In what is to be a multi-episode tracking odyssey, her adoring fans are soon to be systematically stripped of their belief that Oprah is anything less than the Queen of the United States of America. - link

Rarely do I read an entire article from head to toe, but this one tickled me so. It is no secret that I am not an Oprah minion. Oprah does not impress me. Being on the "other" side of Oprah doesn't seem to be the most popular place either. However, there I stand.

Apparently in this mini-series (?) Gayle and Oprah hit the road to discover America together.

The pair are seen pumping gas, something Oprah admits to not having done since 1983.

The article is written by this guy, Dave White, who wrote Exile in Guyville: How a Punk Rock Redneck Faggot Texan Moved to West Hollywood and Refused to Be Shiny and Happy. Whew. Say that without taking a breath somewhere around "Texan" why don'tcha?

Rachael Ray Show

(sigh)

Rachael Ray now has her very own talk show. Now I'm not going to go all hardcore on RR. I won't. She seems like a nice enough person and all. But it was bad enough when she'd pop up on Food Network with her same review of every dish she sampled. ("SO. Good. Mmm. Yeah. Now that's what I'm talking about." Rach. Darling. You didn't even have a bite on your fork girl. Don't act like you done tasted somethin'.) Now there's a chance of seeing/hearing her on other stations. What has the world come to?

Of coarse, for me, the fact that Oprah is one of her first guests just all the more cements me in my state of disgust over the whole thing.

Like I said, I'm really not trying to hate on RR. But not everyone needs their own talk show. Ahem, cough Tyra. I'm sorry but did you see the show where she brought Naomi on to "confront" her about some hurt feelings (?) from waaay. Back. When. She first started modeling? Like girl. If we remember it, we've gotten over it. This is not interesting or good TV. I can't believe she still is on.

That said, you know who I do happen to like? And it is kind of obscure because I don't even watch soaps anymore, but I'll catch Soap Talk every now and then with Lisa Rinna. That girl is too dang cute. I know, I know. The lips. I know. But she's cute, funny and kind of air-heady. But I'm guessing maybe that is part of the act. Or... not. Who knows. But get her a new co-host and slap her on daytime. I like it. I like it lots.

Tyra? Rachael? Nah.

Duane Dog Chapman Arrested


TV reality star Duane "Dog" Chapman and two co-stars on his show were arrested Thursday in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in an alleged kidnapping three years ago.

Whoa. Not THE Dog, man. I enjoy that show, his emotional, big-busted wifey). The hair. The mullets. That's good TV.

Crazy Weather, Crazy People

I was checking my weather page today to see the forecast, hoping for some more of this nice fall-like stuff we've been enjoying. What the heck? How does it go from A to B so quick?

weather.jpg

I don't want no 80 degree heat in September. You can take that right back. Totally unfair and cruel. Mother Nature is so silly.

In other news, Wildlife conservationists fear that the recent death of "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin has triggered retaliation against stingrays. People are weird, yo. I don't think this is what Irwin would want people to do. After being bitten by snakes on television I never heard him say, Crikey, go beat up a snake - do it now, the darn thing bit me.. People are weird.

Anna Nicole Smith's Son Found Dead

The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith has been found dead in a hospital in the Bahamas, where the former reality TV star and Playboy playmate gave birth to a baby girl. [link]

Awww. Don't care if she is a total flake, it is a sad thing. I remember watching her show when it first came out and having a hard time adjusting to her being in her "mom" role. She had just given birth to a baby girl.

Lonely Girl

Who the heck is Lonely Girl? I've heard of her a couple times now, but I must be out of the loop. What's the intrigue with her?


Is this for real? I searched Snopes but found no reference to it.

Lonelygirl15 appears to be an innocent, home-schooled 16-year-old, pouring her heart out for her video camera in the privacy of her bedroom. But since May, her brief posts on the video-sharing site YouTube and the social networking hub MySpace have launched a Web mystery eagerly followed by her million-plus viewers: Who is this sheltered ingenue who calls herself "Bree," and is she in some sort of danger — or, worse, the tool of some giant marketing machine? - link

<more time goes by> And then I find this:

The team behind the lonelygirl15 YouTube mystery has come forward, claiming that lonelygirl15 is part of their "show" and thanking their fans effusively for tuning in to "the birth of a new art form." They are not, they insisted, "a big corporation." - link

Later in the article it says the "confession" may have been a hoax.

Crocodile Hunter Dies

“Crocodile Hunter Dies.

While filming a new documentary, the Animal Planet star was stung in the heart by a stingray's sharp, toxin-filled barbs. - [link]

Oh. My. How sad. I guess he died doing what he loves. Gosh, though. It's like you see the man do a zillion dumb and risky things on television you start to think he's indestructible.

Sad. I liked the goofy man. God bless ya, Crocodile Hunter.

Nelly Furtado

Chorus-
Promiscuous Girl
Wherever you are
I'm all alone
And its you that I want

N: Promiscuous Boy
I'm calling your name
But you're driving me crazy
The way you're making me wait

Promiscuous Girl
You're teasing me
You know what I want
And I got what you need

N: Promiscuous Boy
We're one in the same
So we don't gotta play games no more

Nelly Furtado, you're a fool. I used to like your music until one night I was watching SNL and you came out to perform Promiscuous Girl. Are you serious? Promiscuous girl? What a stoooopid title (and premise) for a song. It doesn't even seem like something you'd sing, girl. Not like I know you or anything, but dang. Promiscuous was never a "good" word (see definition), or something a girl would want to be called. But now you got 15 year old girls singing about being a promiscuous girl like they're singing about something good. Way to go, fool.

Use your power for good, people.
