I Didn't Say It ...

Lady Gaga, on why she chose not to speak out against the rumors that she was transgender:

"When I was in my early 20s, there was a rumor that I was a man. I went all over the world. I traveled for tours and for promoting my records, and almost every interview I sat in, they said … there was this imagery on the internet that had been doctored … the reason why I didn't answer the question is because I didn't feel like a victim with that lie. I thought: What about a kid who is being accused of that would think about a public figure like me feeling shame? In that case, I tried to be thought-provoking and ... I tried to use the misinformation to create a disruptive point." 

It goes back to being called gay and thinking it an insult … it’s not, and to think of it that way is to feed into the homophobia.

Gaga did that same thing for transphobia; it’s not a horrible thing, it’s just a ‘thing.’

Markwayne Mullin, GOP senator from Oklahoma, on if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power.

“It’s hard to say what you’re going to do or what you’re not, because my job is to make sure that irregularities are within the standard that the federal government puts out in place, which is us. The federal government sets irregularities as to how far those can go. So is it going to be less than 1% or is that less than a half percent? Whatever those regularities are, we’ll take that case at a time.”

That’s a word salad saying, ‘I will do what’s best for the GOP taking control and mask it as patriotism because I’m a fucking traitor.’

Janet Jackson, proving money and success doesn’t make you intelligent, speaking on Kamala Harris’ race:

“She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian. Her father’s white. I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

Harris’ father is Jamaican while her mother is Indian, but far be it from Janet to investigate the story  herself and just take what she ‘heard’ as fact.

PS A spokesperson for Jackson says the comments were “based on misinformation” and “she deeply respects Vice President Kamala Harris and her accomplishments as a Black and Indian woman … Janet apologizes for any confusion caused and acknowledges the importance of accurate representation in public discourse. We appreciate the opportunity to address this and will remain committed to promoting unity.”

PSS Now reps for Jackson say the "apology” for the singer’s ill-informed comments was made by a person who is not the singer’s manager, as he had claimed, and thus was not authorized to speak on her behalf.

So, Janet is still an idiot? Okay. Maybe she needs to exert some Control over what she hears and what she says and what people say for her.

Glenn Grothman, Wisconsin GOP Representative, admitting that he had no evidence of his claims of voting fraud regarding federal elections:

“Well, obviously, it would take, you know, 10,000 inaccurate ballots or 20,000 ballots to turn things around ]and] no, we don’t have evidence of that. But who knows? If you find a little bit of cheating, who knows if you had the time and resources to look around for more. Who knows what you’d find.”

You’ve had years asshat; years!!! And you’ve found nothing and yet you’ve wasted and continue to waste taxpayer money to appease a rapist racist traitorous con artist grifter because your entire party is spineless.

Miranda Devine, Fox contributor, lying … because it’s Fox:

“These people have pulled out no stops, all stops, to portray January 6, 2021, the riot at the Capitol, as being the worst terrorist attacks since Pearl Harbor, worse than 9/11. This was completely ignoring the BLM Antifa violence that terrorized American citizens for months in 2020 and, you know, as opposed to what was really just an inconvenience for some members of Congress for a few hours at their workplace. But they have not stopped and what [White House press secretary] Karine Jean-Pierre and all of those, that montage of talking heads you just played, what they show is that they are going to double down and in Orwellian fashion they are blaming the victim, [The Felon], for instigating the violence that they have instigated.”

Hey Miranda, how would you feel if a bunch of people carrying flag poles as weapons broke through the windows of your house, stole your personal property including private papers and computers, shit on your walls and threatened your life?

Would it be just an inconvenience, you Low IQAnon fool?

Tracee Ellis Ross, on those so-called “childless women”:

"As a 51-year-old childless woman, I wanna say to the people who think a woman's worth is measured in her baby count—I mean, shoutout to all the amazing mothers—but childless women have been mothering the world and elevating culture as aunties, godmothers, teachers, mentors, sisters, and friends … the list goes on. You do not have to push out a baby to help push humanity forward.”

Miss Ross is brilliant and thoughtful and spot on.

Women have been caring for all of us forever, and without women, we, none of us, would be here.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

A few years ago, musician Phil Collins went through an ugly divorce with Orianne Cevey. He was granted a divorce but she refused to leave the marital home until he had her removed, and then they got back together, though they remained divorced.

But it was while they were living together as a couple, and while Phil was on tour, that Orianne met and secretly married Thomas Bates in Las Vegas. The happy couple then took over Phil’s Miami house “‘by a show of force’ with armed guards who surrounded the property” and tried to have Phil evicted. But, once again, after a year, Phil had the lovebirds removed from his home, and suddenly Orianne was no longer happy with Thomas—who says she threatened to chop off his dick—and she filed for divorce.

And it’s through those divorce papers that we learn Orianne “ordered” Thomas through an escort service where he was, ahem, advertised as a “sexy intellectual” according to the divorce paperwork:

“At the time the parties met, Husband was employed by an escort service …. The Wife selected Husband through the escort service and insisted on dating him. The parties’ relationship rapidly progressed into a meaningful romantic relationship. Wife persuaded Husband to leave the escort service to marry her.”

Sadly, after getting the boot from Phil, Orianne posted the news of her divorce from Thomas on Instagram:

“I am filing for divorce from my husband, Thomas Bates. I believe the emotional distress of the COVID quarantine caused me to act in ways and do things that were out of character. Fortunately, I have faced challenging situations before and like I always have, I will muster the strength I can, the best team I can find and the courage to do the right thing.”

Part of that strength is gathered from entering Phil’s home—dammit, man, change the locks already—to auction off things in her life that no longer “sparked joy” … like Phil’s gold records, Phil’s awards, and 5,000 pairs of Phil’s shoes.

But all is not lost for Thomas, as he still has his dick and his escort resume, and because he and Orianne married with no prenup, the money she earns from purging her less joyous possessions is half his.

Until he finds another wife.

Yes, I know, The Slap was the big news at the 94th Academy Awards but the Second Biggest News was Liza In A Wheelchair pushed onstage by Lady Gaga. But was that all that we thought it was, or not? The appearance of Liza Minnelli in that state caused many to worry about her physical state, but maybe the wheelchair was a second choice.

According to Liza’s friend and frequent collaborator, Michael Feinstein, Liza wasn’t happy with her appearance. Appearing on SIriusXM’s Jess Cagle Show Feinstein says Liza’s back has been giving her problems and she asked to appear onstage in a director’s chair alongside Gaga when the curtain opened, but just five minutes before she was set to present the Pest Picture award, a stage manager told her she had to use a wheelchair.

Liza initially said, “Fuck That!” and was prepared to come out on her own but Feinstein says she was forced into the wheelchair:

“She was nervous. I mean, and it made her look like she was out of it. And she was just so shaken up that it was. Can you imagine being suddenly forced to be seen by millions of people the way you don’t wanna be seen? That’s what happened to her.”

Really, Michael? Liza Effing Minnelli asks for a director’s chair and they couldn’t find one in all of Hollywood, but they just happened to have a wheelchair at the ready?

Try again.

In 2017, Blac Chyna, who had a baby and a TV show—Rob & Chyna—with Rob Kardastrophe filed a lawsuit against the entire Kardastrophe-Jenner family—The Woman, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, Kylie, and Rob—over claims of assault, battery, domestic violence, defamation and interference with prospective economic relations.

Chyna, whose real name is Angela White, ALLEGED that Rob is an abuser intent on destroying Angela White, the mother of his child, and she says that, in revenge, the Kardastrophe-Jenner family became media predators, slut-shaming her on social media and killing her hit television show [‘Rob & Chyna’] which had already begun filming a second season. And so now Chyna wants $40 million for loss of earning damages and $60 million in loss of future earning capacity damages.

But the best part is that, as the trial began, Kim, Khloé, Kylie and That Woman, appeared in the courtroom during jury selection; even better, they were left unprepared for what potential jurors think of them.

These Four Whores of the Apocalypse did not like it when their lawyer, Michael Rhodes, asked a group of potential jurors if they had strong positive or negative feelings toward reality television.

One man says he’d never watched Keeping Up with the Kardastrophes but:

“I have watched [Kim] Kardastrophe’s sex tape, and I don’t think I can be impartial on this case.”

The response elicited a roar of laughter from the other potential jurors, though the K’s were less than amused. Kim was ALLEGEDLY very upset, but then, you know, don’t lay flat on your back, heels to Jesus, letting your boyfriend ride you like a rodeo clown, and don’t drop to your knees to worship Dick, and film, and then let your mother sell that tape to a porn company to jumpstart your career, m’kay?

Several other people said they knew only about the K’s because their kids watch the show and follow them on social media, while one juror admitted it would be difficult to be impartial because he doesn’t like reality TV and wished the show “wasn’t on any longer.”

Here are more juror comments:

“Anything that has to do with their names is just a big no for me. I don’t think reality TV is good for society.”

“I sincerely hope none of these people get any wealthier because of this.”

“I don’t think they were the best role models. I wouldn’t let [my daughter] watch anything involving them.”

And it’s only going to worse for the K’s once the trial actually starts because Blac Chyna will say anything to get those 100 million coins.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...

A month ago, during an interview with Variety, Kim Kardastrophe claimed that nobody wanted to work anymore, and that her only advice to women in business would be:

“Get your fucking ass up and work.

And since the statement came out on International Women’s Day Kimmy was hit with scads of backlash, eye rolls, and questions about how she is one to talk since she jumpstarted her “career” by making a sex tape her mother could sell to a porn distributor. And Kim foot-stomped and head-snapped and said the statement was taken out of context except … Variety is saying those are Kim’s words and she needs to own them.

According to Variety, there is an interview video that proves Kimmy was asked:

“What’s your best advice for women in business?”

And she said get to fucking work.

I guess, given how she started her career, she meant to say get to work fucking.

Last year Ashley Tisdale moved into a new house and began fancying herself an interior designer. She dove headfirst into decorating her new LA pad by scouring that luxe design site … Instagram. But it all paid off because … drum roll … Tisdale scored a coveted celebrity home tour with Architectural Digest! 

The tour begins in Ashley’s “very bright, very Zen” living room, where she shows off her Mario Bellini sofa, antique wicker chairs, marble coffee table, and built-in bookshelves. Oh, so nice, so chic, so tasteful, so fake. See, Tisdale couldn’t stop giggling and told the camera crew that the bookshelves were empty until right before the crew came to record the tour.

Tisdale tells us that she sent her husband, Christopher French, to a bookstore to buy 400 books so their shelves would look full.

Seriously? She couldn’t put art on the shelves, flowers, anything other than 400 random books she bought to look well-read.

I only wish whoever was running the video shoot had asked Ashley to discuss her book collection.

So, while a lot of folks witnessed that Oscar Slap, there was another smackdown on Oscar night involving one Lady Gaga and one Caitlyn Jenner, and on this one I fall squarely onto Team Gaga.

Gaga, not nominated this year for her accent, skipped the Oscars red carpet, and went to Elton John’s Oscar bash. But I’m guessing security was lacking because one Caitlyn Jenner was allowed to tread the same cream-colored carpet as Gaga and stopped the star to discuss coffee. In a video shared to social media, Caitlyn wanders up to Gaga and asks:

“Are you spending time around Malibu anymore?”

Gaga simply says, “Yes,” and so Caitlyn, who didn’t get the clue to walk away, quickly, wades in deeper and says:

“I haven’t seen you at the Starbucks in a while.”

Gaga, looking a little Who Are You and Why Are You Talking To Me, simply said:

“I’ve switched baristas.”

And walked away.

Note to Little Will Smith: that’s how you slap down.

Lock up your liquor cabinets and your houses if actor Ezra Miller is coming to town.

The 29-year-old actor—pronouns are they and them—was arrested at a bar in Hilo, Hawaii after ALLEGEDLY shrieking at people, snatching a microphone from a woman singing karaoke, and going after a guy playing darts. Miller was booked on disorderly conduct charges and paid their $500 bail.

This mess started Sunday night when the Hawai’i County Police Department got a call about Drunken Mess, party of one, who was bothering everyone at a bar. The owner of the bar says he asked Miller several times to take it down a notch, but they did not, and so the police were called.

And then it got worse; two Hilo residents filed for a temporary restraining order against Miller claiming he harassed and threatened them.

He had ALLEGEDLY been staying at the couple’s home while in Hawaii, after they met the couple at a farmer’s market. In fact, after that bar skirmish, it was that couple who paid Miller’s bail and brought them back to their home where Miller ALLEGEDLY barged into their bedroom and threatened the male victim by saying "I will bury you and your slut wife’.” The couple also claims Miller stole some personal belongings, including a social security card, wallet, passport, driver’s license and bank cards.

This is not Miller’s first time at being, um, disorderly in public. They were arrested in Pennsylvania for disorderly conduct and drug possession, though those charges were reduced to two citations of disorderly conduct.

In 2020, Miller was escorted out of a bar in Iceland for ALLEGEDLY choking a fan, and in January of this year, they posted an Instagram video telling members of a KKK chapter in North Carolina to kill themselves and threatened to shoot them.

Ezra’s big DC movie, The Flash, comes out next year, and they’re also in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, which comes out next month. Sheesh, just when those Fantastic Beasts actors thought they were done talking about disorderly co-stars when Johnny Depp was fired from the film, and now Ezra Miller has stepped up to the Hot Mess Plate.

One more story of the slap and I just might be done, thanks to Daniel Radcliffe.

The Harry Potter actor was hoping to stay away from the ongoing discourse surrounding Will Smith’s Hissy Fit and gave the best response when he was asked again what he thought about it.

While appearing on “Good Morning Britain” to promote his new movie, The Lost City, Radcliffe was asked about that slap and smartly said:

“I’m just so already dramatically bored of hearing people’s opinions about it that I just don’t want to be another opinion.”

Thanks Harry, er, Daniel.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...


Remember Chris Hansen from To Catch A Predator? I’m guessing his new show is Catch a Check Bouncer because that’s what Hansen was arrested for in Connecticut this week.

Hansen ALLEGEDLY bounced $13,000 worth of checks to a company called Promotional Sales Limited for branded items like mugs, t-shirts and vinyl decals. And then to top that off, he was evicted from his NYC apartment for owing some $4,000 in back rent.

But hey, go bounce a check for a t-shirt, dude. Oh, and to make matters worse, Hansen’s soon to be ex-wife, Mary Joan, wants alimony and a “fair division of property and debts.” 

Oh honey, the man cannot buy a coffee mug without bouncing a check and you think there’s alimony? No … no.
And speaking of someone who wants the coins, ex-CBS head, and sexual predator, Les Moonves is demanding his $120 million payout from CBS, even though the network has already said “Dee-nied.”

CBS reached its decision after a three-month investigation into how Moonves behaved while at the network, and they uncovered all sorts of pervy shiz … like ALLEGATIONS of Moonves forcing oral sex on aspiring actresses and maybe cancelling Cybill when Cybill Shepherd refused to sleep with him.

Even worse, Julie Chen Moonves is now totally relying on CBS and Big Brother to pay the bills at Chez Moonves … until she evicts Les from the house.
I guess it pays to be the asshat son of a famous person, because Lionel Richie’s son, Miles Brockman Richie, is a free man aafter ALLEGEDLY claiming he was in possession of a bomb—which he threatened to detonate—and then punching a security guard at London’s Heathrow Airport because he was denied entry to a flight.

Richie was given a “caution” for “communicating false information, battery, and causing a bomb hoax” after authorities discovered he was lying about the explosives. In England, receiving a “caution” means the person involved accepts responsibility for their actions and is allowed to go on their way without being arrested or charged.

Seriously? Lock that asshatted, terrorist up.
I love me some Leslie Jones. I love her loud mouth and her irreverent sense of humor. But today, Leslie, honey, take a seat.

This week Jason Reitman  he was rebooting Ghostbusters, the movie his father, Ivan Reitman, directed in the 1980s. Jason says his reboot will forgive [forget] the all-female Ghostbusters that came out a minute ago, and be an actual sequel to his dad’s movie. And that sent Jones over … the … edge …
So insulting. Like fuck us. We dint count. It’s like something _____ would do. ‘Gonna redo ghostbusteeeeers, better with men, will be huge. Those women ain’t ghostbusteeeeers’ ugh so annoying. Such a dick move. And I don’t give fuck I’m saying something!!”
And I’ll say something …Leslie? Did you see the all-female remake? It sucked. It wasn’t funny. It was bad. You should be thrilled for this sequel because it’ll make people forget your version.

Love you.
Chris Brown. He’s been in Paris recently, attending fashion shows—which begs the question: why do designers need Chris Brown at their shows? But, ALLEGEDLY, he was doing something else.

See, Brown and some members of his entourage were arrested for assault and suspicion of rape after a 24-year-old woman claims Brown assaulted her in a hotel suite in Paris earlier this month.

Brown, like he did when he beat up Rihanna—which doesn't necessarily mean that he's a rapist—has yet to comment on the ALLEGATIONS but, I believe Chris Brown is the guy that beats up his girlfriend and leaves her by the side of the road. I believe he’s the guy abuses, stalks and harasses his ex-girlfriend to the point where she doesn’t feel safe being alone with him. I believe he’s the guy who meets a girl in a bar and invites her to his hotel room and rapes her.

It’s called escalating.
I’m a cynic. Sue me.  But this Bryan Singer mess, and Rami Malek’s ”Who? What?” attitude? Not.Buying.It.

Bryan Singer directed more than half of Bohemian Rhapsody before leaving the film under a storm of controversy that he had missed days and days of work, that other people had to step in to complete the film, and that Singer and Malek clashed on the set and that Singer even “threw an object” at Rami. And this all happened around the time that Singer was sued again for raping another teenage boy. Sidenote: four more accusers have come forward this past week saying Singer fondled them or raped them when they were teenagers working on one of his films.

But here’s my thing …the stories of Singer and underage boys have been around for years, long before Bohemian Rhapsody was a thought, and before anyone even knew Rami Malek. And yet Malek is now saying he’d never ever heard the stories about Singers ALLEGEDLY infamous Boy Pool Parties?

Sorry, Rami, but if I could hear the story here in Smallville, surely you heard the story in Hollywood, especially after you announced you’d be working with Singer.

Just sayin’.
We all know Lady Gaga is thirsty for Oscar because then she can carry it around as a prop in case she runs into Madonna and can shove it in Madge’s face, so does anyone … anyone … actually believe Gaga when she said this about the Oscar nomination for A Star is Born:
“I didn’t know anything about it.”
Yes, Lady Gaga who has been campaigning for an Oscar for months now, says she actually slept through the nominations and didn’t wake up until three hours later.

You woke up three hours after your nomination was announced and no one … no one … called you to share the news?

Sure, Lady, sure.

I Didn't Say It ...


Brynn Tannehill, former military member and trans American, on _____’s anti-transgender policies:

“The Supreme Court just ended my military career. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled, 5-4, that the _____ administration could reinstate its policy barring most transgender people from serving in the military while several cases challenging the policy are being decided. The decision was both a devastating blow to me personally, and a disturbing sign of what is to come for transgender people in the United States. I graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1997, and was on active duty for over a decade. When I began transitioning in 2010, I transferred from the Naval Reserves, which I had joined in 2008, to the Individual Ready Reserves, an administrative status that allows service members to deal with medical issues before returning to full duty. By spring 2012, I had resolved the “issues” at my own expense, and was ready to return to full duty—in my case, as a Navy helicopter pilot. The problem was that at the time, the military’s medical regulations prohibited transgender people from serving. I then set off on years of volunteer work on my own time researching transgender military issues. This included educational outreach, research, policy development and coordinating with the Pentagon to build an evidence-based standard for transgender service, based on the lessons learned from the other 18 countries that allow transgender people to serve.”

I find it disgusting, and yet typically _____, that a draft dodger who Daddy had one of his tenants write an excuse for _____ to get out of military service, thinks he knows what’s best for the military.
He doesn’t; it’s hate; it’s transphobia; and he’s a pig. Brynn Tannehill is ready, willing and able to serve and a bigot is saying ‘No’.
Gladys Knight, on singing the National Anthem at this year’s Super Bowl even though many black performers have chosen not to perform in support of Colin Kaepernick:

 “I understand that Mr. Kaepernick is protesting two things, and they are police violence and injustice. It is unfortunate that our National Anthem has been dragged into this debate when the distinctive senses of the National Anthem and fighting for justice should each stand alone. I am here today and on Sunday, Feb. 3 to give the Anthem back its voice, to stand for that historic choice of words, the way it unites us when we hear it and to free it from the same prejudices and struggles I have fought long and hard for all my life, from walking back hallways, from marching with our social leaders, from using my voice for good — I have been in the forefront of this battle longer than most of those voicing their opinions to win the right to sing our country’s Anthem on a stage as large as the Super Bowl LIII.  No matter who chooses to deflect with this narrative and continue to mix these two in the same message, it is not so and cannot be made so by anyone speaking it. I pray that this National Anthem will bring us all together in a way never before witnessed and we can move forward and untangle these truths which mean so much to all of us.”

Oh Gladys, just because you’ve been around a long time doesn’t mean those who came after don’t have a right to protest, with their voices, with their taking of a knee, with any method necessary to draw attention to what’s happened, and is still happening, in the country.
I love your voice, girl, but you stepped in it with this nonsense.
Lady Gaga, blasting _____ and Michael Elizabeth Pence for the  shutdown and their anti-LGBTQ views at her Vegas ‘Enigma’ show:

“There are people that live paycheck to paycheck and need their money. And to Mike Pence who thinks that it’s acceptable that his wife works at a school that bans LGBTQ: you are wrong. You say that we should not discriminate against Christianity. You’re the worst representation of what it means to be a Christian. I am a Christian woman and what I do know about Christianity is that we bear no prejudice and everybody is welcome. So you can take all that disgrace, Mr. Pence, and look yourself in the mirror and you’ll find it right there.”

Good on Gaga, though haters like Mike and Mother don’t get it because they’ve wrapped their faith in hate and can no longer tell the difference.
Michael Elizabeth Pence, likening _____ to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr:

“So what the president has directed us to do is to reach out with rank-and-file Democrats in the House and in the Senate. What the president presented yesterday really is an effort to bring together ideas from both political parties. I think it is an act of statesmanship on the president’s part. And honestly, the hearts and minds of the American people are thinking a lot today about [this] being the weekend we remember the life and work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King was, ‘Now is the time to make real the promises of Democracy. You think of how he changed America, he inspired us to change through the legislative process, to become a more perfect union. That’s exactly what President Trump is calling on the Congress to do, come to the table in a spirit of good faith.”

Oh, you delusional fuckmonkey, if you think for a nanosecond that MLK was about a border wall, about keeping people out, about calling anyone of any color other than white, less than, and less deserving, than you need to go fuck yourself.
Racist POS.
Bernie Sanders, on the racism of _____ at an MLK event in South Carolina:

 “Today we say to Donald _____—We are not going back to more bigotry, discrimination and division. Instead of bringing us together as Americans, he has purposely and aggressively attempted to divide us up by the color of our skin, by our gender, by our nationality, by our religion and by our sexual orientation. We, today, have a President who is a racist.”

Something most of us knew after Charlottesville, after The Wall, after the Muslim ban, after ….
Nicolle Wallace, MSNBC political commentator, ridiculing Rudy Giuliani’s constantly evolving defense of _____ and the Russians:

“Rudy Giuliani, making a mess out of Donald _____’s always-shifting story about his ties to Russia and his lies about how long Donald _____ engaged in negotiation over _____ Tower Moscow. While one can never be sure what Rudy is up to, he clearly established a brand-new fact pattern as it pertains to the timeline of Donald _____’s discussions with his personal attorney, Michael Cohen, over that deal. Cohen had claimed in testimony to Congress that those discussions about _____ Tower Moscow ended in January of 2016—he later admitted that was a big, fat lie in a guilty plea to Robert Mueller. Now he’s offering up a new version of events. [And] Rudy’s latest comments stand in such stark contrast to the president’s previous version of that story, Rudy had to spend the day today trying to clean it up.”

Rudy needs a shovel for all that sh*t.
Adam Kinzinger, Illinois GOP Congressman,  on the continuing government shutdown:

“This is an idiotic shutdown. The American people deserve far better from those of us that are elected to represent 750,000 people—to be adults, to be grownups, to understand that we’re not going to get our way. This is to Republicans and Democrats by the way. And let’s just solve this. There are a lot of people hurting right now.”

Nice, except Kinzinger basically absolved _____ of any blame for the shutdown—even though _____ begged to be blamed—and called _____’s compromise offer a bold move. He then attacked Democrats for not taking that deal, which really wasn’t a deal but a few crumbs.
PS For an asshat, he’s kinda hot.

I Ain't One To Gossip But ...


Well, the looooooooong legal battle between Olivia de Havilland and Ryan Murphy that started last year when OdH went nuts over Catherine Zeta-Jones’ portrayal of her in Feud: Bette and Joan is finally over.

It all began when OdH thought that Murphy painted her to be some kind of gossipy, catty bitch—which she is/was when it came to her sister Joan Fontaine—and OdH didn’t like the look, so she sued. That case was thrown out of Los Angeles Superior Court and they sent it to the California Case of Appeals and they threw it out, and OdH then took it to the California Supreme Court and they threw it out and so OdH took it to the Supreme Court of the United States.

And … big surprise … SCOTUS has refused to review the case and gave no reason.

Um, because it was dumb, and a waste of time and they could think of a million other ways for 102-year-old OdH to spend her time?
Speaking of feuds … while we all know that lifestyle mavens Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow loathe each other, are they really that much different? Both blond; both wound far too tightly; both think their way is the best way. Both like to use steam …

We all know Paltrow is a proponent of using Vaginal Steaming to clean out your nether regions, fallopian tubes and eggs, if you got ‘em, while Martha likes to steam actual eggs using a cappuccino machine.

See, not so different at all.

Recently, Martha appeared in Food Network promo for a guest stint as a judge on Chopped and shared her method for making scrambled eggs using the steamer attachment on a cappuccino machine.

Cue Paltrow, who’s set to find a way to use a cappuccino machine to Steam the Hoo-Haw.
Just don’t hurt yourself when you fall off the counter.
Uh oh, maybe you should dump your Amazon stock since Amazon Gazillionaire Jeff Bezos is divorcing his wife of 25 years and she may end up with half of his $145 billion fortune and half his Amazon stock.

Jeff married MacKenzie in the 90s and she was right by his side as Amazon grew to the behemoth it is today and she was happy as a clam …until Jeff took a shine to one Lauren Sanchez, the couple’s neighbor.

I sure hope Lauren gets a prenup if she marries Bezos since after the divorce he might only be worth $70 billion.

PS Bezos clearly has a type because MacKenzie and Lauren could be sisters.
Apparently, on the heels of a couple of Golden Globes, someone, some people, in Hollywood don’t want to see Green Book take any Oscars. I mean, how else to explain the dragging those associated with the film are being taken on.

First up, apparently Green Book‘s producer-screenwriter Nick Vallelonga Tweeted his agreement with _____ about ______’s lie that he saw Muslims in New Jersey cheering the downing of the World Trade Center buildings.

Vallelonga deleted his Twitter account.

But now, someone has unearthed an old story about Green Book director Peter Farrelly which claimed he liked to expose himself. He ALLEGEDLY sexually harassed Cameron Diaz this way, and ALLEGEDLY did the same with other women and men. And I probably didn’t need the ALLEGEDLY because Farrelly is now apologizing for flashing his penis in an attempt to be “funny”:
“True. I was an idiot. I did this decades ago and I thought I was being funny and the truth is I’m embarrassed and it makes me cringe now. I’m deeply sorry.”
Lemme think on that because, if Farrelly was just some Joe on the street who flashed his goods, he’d have been arrested so, yeah, not a joke.

Still, I will give him props for not gifting us with a faux-pology, where he says, “Sorry, if you were offended.”

At least he isn’t Lady Gaga …
One would have thought, that as a survivor of sexual assault, Lady Gaga would distance herself from those people with an ALLEGED history of being a perv, but I guess Gaga only does it now because she’s thirsty for an Oscar nomination.

It all goes back to the song Gaga wrote and recorded with ALLEGED child-pornographer R. Kelly back in 2014 years after ALLEGATIONS surfaced about Kelly’s predatory predilections. I mean, even I’d heard the tales about Kelly, but Gaga never  said a word until now, as she turned down a request to be interviewed for that R. Kelly documentary, and now she’s all aghast.

And I call bull shiz. That R. Kelly story, and others, were around long before Gaga slipped into some meat and called herself a star, and now that more and more and sicker R. Kelly stories are coming to light, she’s jumping on the bandwagon to show her disgust.

And all because she wants a little gold statue. I guess losing the Globe to Glenn Close really shook Gaga and she scoured her past for some way to score points.

I ain’t buying it, Lady.
