I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

I kinda thought Kourtney Kardastrophe was the “normal” one in That Family, especially when she basically quit the show because she was fed up with the drama, real and imagined. But now we learn that, while traveling with new boyfriend Travis Barker, Kourtney went apeshit when he dropped his phone between their seats and demanded the plane wait for five minutes before taking off so she could find it.

Yes, Kourtney, by all means, let’s stop all incoming and outgoing plane traffic because your boyfriend lost his phone. Clearly, Kourtney is all Kardastrophe.

I imagine John McCain is looking down at his daughter Meghan—and, to be fair, don’t we all look down at Meghan—after her latest bit of histrionics.

Last season, The View cohosts did the show from their homes, but this season the show was back in the studio. And that’s why Meghan says she left the show; she didn’t want to leave her husband and baby in DC, where they live, to travel to NYC, so she packed her spoiled bratitude and quit.

But then she wrote a book and that story isn’t quite a highpoint for her so suddenly she now says she left because Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg were mean to her. In the book, Meghan explained that she decided to leave on her second day back from maternity leave when, during a disagreement with Joy Behar, Meghan said Joy had missed her, and Joy replied:

“No, I didn’t.”

And that’s when Meghan decided she just couldn’t stay, and then trotted out the right’s favorite buzzwords like “toxic” and “bullying.” And she also blames Whoopi, because one day in 2019—two years ago—Meghan says Whoopi told her to stop talking because, as usual McCain was shouting and trying to overtalk and out-talk everyone else and Whoopi was trying to get the show to a commercial and told Meghan to pipe it all the way down. Meghan responded, as adults do, by saying she wasn’t going to talk for the rest of the show.

She didn’t leave because she had a baby she left because she’s a self-entitled spoiled child. And Daddy doesn’t like that, hon.

Oh Madge, is there nothing you won’t do for publicity?

Madonna covers the latest issue of V Magazine in full Marilyn Monroe drag and tried to recapture the scene of Marilyn’s death from a  drug overdose in 1962. Marilyn was 36 at the time and Madge is 63 now and so she thinks there is something to those numbers to Madge. And then she has the balls to say she used photographer Steven Klein to capture the magic of Marilyn’s last photo shoot to pay “homage to the glamour and tragedy” of Marilyn.

Really? Recreating her death is an homage? The thirst of this bitch is real.

Madge, hon, you will never be Marilyn, so stop trying.

Will Smith has a new movie coming out that I won’t see because, well, Will Smith. And he also has a new memoir coming out that I won’t read because, well, Will Smith.

But in the book he claims that he went all Method Actor during the filming of Six Degrees of Separation and ended up falling in love with co-star Stockard Channing while married to his first wife Sheree Zampino.

Funny, though, that he only went Straight Method Actor because, though he says he fell in love with Channing while playing a gay character he refused to kiss Anthony Michael Hall in a scene that called for the two men to kiss.

Spare me your Method, Will, you’re just a homophobe, and an ass.

I did not know this and never had any idea, but actor Kal Penn has come out as gay and reveled that he is engaged to his partner Josh, whom he’s been in a relationship with for 11 years. The couple met when Penn took a break from acting to work in the White House under President Obama’s administration.

He wrote all about their love story—and their not-so-great first date—in his memoir, “You Can’t Be Serious,” saying Josh showed up to his apartment with an 18-pack of Coors Light and immediately changed the TV channel to watch Nascar:

“I thought, ‘This obviously is not going to work out.’ I have one day off from The White House and this dude is unironically watching cars go around and make left turns?”

A few months later Penn was watching Nascar every Sunday with Josh, and now they’re getting married. Congrats to the happy couple.

  7. I didn't know that about Kal Penn either until I read about his new book. I admire his open-mindedness at sticking with a Nascar relationship! (Not sure I could do it.)

    I have never seen "Six Degrees of Separation." Now I'm curious about it. (Homophobia aside.)

    Re. Travis Barker -- WAAAAAAAAAY too much ink. In bad places.

    I wonder what Marilyn would have been like had she survived. Would she have been a train wreck like Liza Minelli, or a respectable retiree like Doris Day?

  8. Re: Will Smith and that non-kiss in 'Six Degrees. My recollection {which may well be faulty] is that shortly after the film was released he gave an interview in which he said that it had been Denzel Washington who had strongly advised him against doing the kiss on grounds of it 'harming' his career. But shortly afterwards Smith regretted not having done it. Maybe that's so, maybe not - I just dunno.

  9. That's so cute about Kal Penn and Josh. I'll have to add his book to my reading list.

  10. I find it interesting Kal Penn said nothing until he had a 'memoir' being published.

    Will who?

    Madonna has been desperate for the past dozen or so years.

  11. Nascar? My husband is a fan. I don't get it. Coors or no Coors.

    I'm so out of touch with pop culture, and from the sounds of it, I haven't missed anything.

    Madonna's tribute to Marilyn? *shiver* That's just gross.

  12. Kal and Josh... what a cute story and a lovely couple. Fingers crossed. Not Your Average Gays.

    Will - Ick. Never liked him. Never will. Creepy. And his kids? What a couple of privileged train wrecks.

    Madge? She would have done better to remake the photos of her last movie scene in the pool. But, then... her career is in its death roes, so... rather fitting. And I love the lady... but she keeps doing terrible things.

    Meghan... blech. Who cares. She's yesterday's news. Until she decides she doesn't like Mommyhood and gets into politics. Then? ICKY POO.

    There is not a normal for the kardashians, unless it involves a grift or a use of privilege. They all disgust me.

    Thanks for the feed. Travis Barker? Who'd a thunk? SMH on that one. What a tool. Kizzes.

  13. I'm tired of Will Smith and his weird wife showing up in my news feed because they like to show off their dirty laundry. Madonna gets more unattractive every year, in character and appearance. It's way past time for her to grow up.

    Love,
    Janie
