It must be nice, while people all over the word suffer with a variety of troubles, chaps like American Idol’s Simon Cowell are driving Million dollar cars, introducing Cowell’s $1,000,000.00, 240 MPH, Bugatti Veyron.
Sure Cowell has the money, and mostly thanks to our patronage of TV shows like American Idol and XFactor, however, is it not a bit, well, obscene to be this flashy in these times? I admit this is a bit of sour grapes as I try and figure out how to pay the gas bill this week, however, I am also thinking about other everyday folks also suffering with money problems and how this type of excess must make them feel.
Hey Cowell, go take a bath in champaign in the privacy of your own mansion, use 100 dollar bills to wipe your ass, I mean, light the fire place, buy your dog a condo, whatever, just stop rubbing in all of us little people’s faces…

Way to go, Dustin Diamond. Release a snippet of your “tell-all” book the same week that Mackenzie Phillips rocks the world with hers. Smoooooooooth move Screech.
That’s right, Dustin Diamond has shed some light on his new book, titled Behind the Bell. We’ve learned that some Saved by the Bell cast members smoked marijuana, slept together and maybe did steroids. Is this a surprise? I mean, take a look at Mark Paul Gosselaar – that dude is ripped. Besides, they were all kids holed up together for long hours at a time, these things are expected.
I kind of feel bad for Screech Dustin Diamond. No one from the original cast likes him anymore, he doesn’t seem to get a lot of work and he filed for bankruptcy a few years back. Sure, he’s scrapping the bottom of the barrel with this book but what do you expect?
Surprisingly, no big secrets revealed about Kevin The Robot. I still suspect that he was a drug addict.

DeLay DeDancing
We still have a week until the premiere of Dancing with The Stars but already a cast member has been injured. That’s right, disgraced House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has hurt his foot while rehearsing with dance partner Cheryl Burke.
From DeLay’s twitter: “Old age is catching up to me. May have a stress fracture in my foot. No worries, it’ll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor.”
And right DeLay was as later in the day he updated his tweet saying that he didn’t have a stress fracture and that he’d “live for another day.” Sorry Democrats.
We’re not sure how hurt DeLay is and how this will affect his performance but it looks like he’ll be around. The show premieres on September 21 so there is still plenty of time for someone to slip on a banana peel or have a piano dropped on them. Surely, this will be the first of many celebrity injuries.

8.97 million people tuned in for Sunday’s Video Music Awards, giving MTV its biggest audience since 2004. The show, which featured Kanye West doing…well, you all know, became the biggest cable show this year for the coveted 12-34 demographic. In total, the broadcast was up six percent.
So what did MTV do right? Since no one knew about the Kanye Kraziness before the show, surely there was something that drew in the crowds. Maybe it was the Michael Jackson tribute, maybe it was the New Moon trailer, maybe it was the return to Radio City Music Hall. Whatever the reason, MTV has a hit on its hands.
So maybe the VMAs will stay in New York for a few years. Or maybe Russell Brand will be invited back again. Or maybe, just maybe, MTV will serve Kanye West more alcohol next year, hoping for lightning to strike twice.

Well The Jay Leno Show sure started with a bang last night. Aside from the news made by the Kanye West interview, the show debuted with an estimate 18.4 million viewers. That’s pretty great, even for a show airing at 10 PM.
The other news is the show assisted The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, in a way. You see, Conan’s audience was up 22% last night, to 4.3 million. However, the audience that increased the most was the over 55 crowd, which was up by 51%. The audience that Conan most craves, the 18-34 range, was actually down by 5%. Dang.
I thought The Jay Leno Show was okay. It was enjoyable enough I suppose but nothing to write home about. Also, we’ll have to wait awhile before we know if the show is an actual hit. As for Conan, just keep on doing what you’re doing! The Tonight Show is way better under you and the audience will find you eventually. As for your true fans, like myself, we’ll loyal and will stick with you.

Ms. Gosselin and the new look
What do you all think of Kate Gosselin’s new haircut? She debuted it today while guest-hosting The View and doesn’t she seemed pleased as punch about it. I know that many, many, many, many (many, many, many) people are happy to see her old look go. I think she looks happy and bright here but maybe a little too Elisabeth Hasselbeck for her own good. Careful, Kate, the last thing you want is to mimic her.

Russell Brand
Russell Brand, like the rest of the world, is putting in his two cents regarding Kanye West’s outburst at last night’s VMAs. Talking to Ryan Seacrest this morning, Brand had a simple message for Kanye.
“You can’t make a pretty girl cry,” the comedian said. Apparently, rumor has it that Taylor Swift was a bit teary-eyed backstage after Kanye’s moment. However, Brand said that Kanye, like most normal people, made a mistake and should probably be forgiven.
“We’re just people; we all do things that are a bit silly sometimes. Calm down; no one died.”
Come on Russell, you need to draw a line in the sand! Are you Team Taylor or not? There is a war coming and you better know whose side you’re on! Me, I’m going Team Beyonce. She looked super classy last night.
Let the battle begin!

Tina Fey can add another Emmy to her awards case but she might need to thank former Gov. Sarah Palin for this one.
The writer/actress was awarded an Emmy (her sixth – yikes!) for Guest Actress in a Comedy Series on Saturday for her portrayal of the former vice presidential candidate. As we all remember, Fey’s appearances on Saturday Night Live had the entire country talking. Many even suggest that Fey’s impression led to serious doubts about Palin’s electability. And we all know how that turned out.
In her speech, Fey said, “Mrs. Palin is an inspiration to working mothers everywhere because she bailed on her job right before Fourth of July weekend. You are living my dream. Thank you, Mrs. Palin!”
Fey also thanked her parents, who are lifelong Republicans, for their patience.
Fey’s hit show, 30 Rock, is up for a record 22 Emmy awards next week.

Oh, Kanye West, you make my job so easy.
The rapper really classed it up tonight at the MTV Video Music Awards when he took the stage to interrupt Best Female Video winner Taylor Swift. Swift, who was in the middle of her speech, watched from the side as West made his own announced speech.
“Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’m [going to] let you finish — but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time,” Kanye said, pointing to a shocked Beyonce in the audience. The crowd turned on West and started booing. The rapper disappeared off stage, Swift looked ready to continue with her speech but the station cut to commercials.
Beyonce later invited Swift onstage to complete her speech. Classy move on Beyonce’s part. As for West, word is that he was kicked out from the rest of the show because of his outburst, earning a rare ejection from MTV. He later took to his own website to write his side of the event. He wrote in cap locks, of course.

I watch with horror as my weekly escape through the lives of “The Real Housewives of Orange County” tears at the seems. I am OK with Lynne Curtin getting evicted from her house for failure to pay rent (she owes $12,000). I would be a hypocrite if I weren’t. I was even considering sending her a gift certificate to Target or some cupcakes to wherever she planned to move as a housewarming gift.
There is something, however, that doesn’t feel right about the following from Perez Hilton:
Lynne apparently stole some large furniture items from the Arch Beach Heights house, including a bookcase, credenza, armoire and a glass shelf. The owner of the house also mentioned to police when they were called that Lynne and her family left the carpet trashed, holes in the walls, and the travertine tub was damaged.
I’ve been there. Who hasn’t left their previous apartment thrashed after a wild night of “I-am-moving-out-and-am-not-getting-my-deposit-back” partying? The thing is, I don’t watch “The Real Housewives of Orange County” to see reality. I watch it to see perfect bodies, perfect teeth, perfect homes and perfect cat fights. Needless to say, Lynne, I’m disappointed in you.
