Who Let the Dogs Out?

Happy Year of the Dog!

Since David Gest is GAY GAY GAY! and Da Brat is dykier than Amsterdam, this is just bizzaro, almost as weird as the Kanye West and Pamela Anderson rumours.

Bed Bath and Beyond just has a certain effect on people.

Check out Pink's photos for her new album. What's with the upside down exclamation point?

The BS brings us more stank.

Do y'all remember Baby Jessica? The kid who got stuck in the well in her backyard? She's hitched! And it looks like the guy is a potential K-Fed:

When she turns 25, McClure will come into a trust fund - reportedly worth in excess of $1 million - made up of contributions from the public.

Margaret Cho gets seriously inked! Brave woman!

Panda porn and Janet Reno sings Respect. Believe it.

All the things she said, running through my head is that performing in your undies with fake tan is wrong!

The Best is Yet to Come

I just heard Don Bourdira on the radio say that he's available to give 'Rat Pack' training to any Liberals who would like his expertise.

Um, EW.

Glad we licked that 'civility in the House' issue!

Let It Go

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be

There will be an answer, let it be.

In case you missed it, and because Canadian Idol is way lame-er, here is a good round up of the American Idol season premier. Major props to future tanning salon owner Crystal.

When It All Falls Down

Since moving to la capitale, I've done my best to keep up-to-date on the goings on back home (519 represent!), especially during an election.

This, however, is just bizzaro (via Paul Wells):

"David Orchard, candidate in the 1998 and 2003 Progressive Conservative leadership races, will meet with media at the [Susan] Whelan Campaign Office to endorse the Liberal Candidate in the Riding of Essex."

I love America's Next Top Model, but Adrienne Curry is NOT WORK SAFE! Lordy! Kathy Hilton is DITTO.

Subject: Post-mortem, debate-styles

I really think harper has a shot now. He outclassed Martin, who seemed desperate. I almost felt bad for our prime minister. Was pissed when Layton started going off about how more women in parliament will somehow make the parties dialogues in the house "more civil" -- yeah, because we're gentle, non-bloodthirsty creatures, demure and pink-frilled. Git. Duceppe was good too.

Also, Martin dropping that policy bomb? Think he probably expected it to have a much greater impact than it did -- too bad A) No one knows what the "notwithstanding clause" is, and B) they feel like their rights are pretty well protected all ready. he would have done better to promise everyone a free cup of Tim's.

Anyway, here's a list of headlines one of the reporters was sending me during the debate last night as a joke, to keep me from tearing my hair out while everyone was accusing each other of a "lack of patriotism." It tells a good story.

*CONSERVATIVE PARTY'S HARPER "DOESN'T CARE'' ABOUT CANADA
*OR SO WE ASSUME
*NDP'S LAYTON WILL MELT UNDER HOT CAMERA LIGHTS, EXPERTS SAY
*LIBERAL'S MARTIN SLAPS DUCEPPE ON LIVE TELEVISION
*HARPER TO BLAME FOR CANADA'S CRIME, TAX CUTS, BAD MORALS, MARTIN SAYS
*LAYTON TO WEAR FRILLY PINK DRESS IN HOUR TWO OF LEADERS DEBATE
*BLOC QUEBECOIS'S DUCEPPE SAYS STUFF NO ONE IS LISTENING TO
*WHY CAN'T WE HAVE ANY GOOD LEADERS?, PAIKIN SAYS BEFORE STORMING OFF SET
*DUCEPPE DISCREETLY SMOKING CIGAR IN BACKGROUND OF DEBATE
*CANADA'S MARTIN, HARPER, LAYTON ALL WADS
*BUT NOT *THAT* KIND OF WAD
*HARPER, HAIRPIECE AGREE TO MUTUALLY PART WAYS
*CANADA'S GOVERNMENT HAS NEVER, EVER DONE ANYTHING; HARPER
*CANADA'S MARTIN SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTS
*LIBERALS STILL AHEAD IN POLLS WITHOUT LEADER
*NDP'S LAYTON HATES EVERYONE
*CANADA'S MARTIN PRETENDS HE HAD AMNESIA LAST YEAR
*MARTIN JUST MAKING SH1T UP NOW TO WIN DEBATE
*HARPER VOWS TO GIVE CANADIANS BETTER HAIRPIECES
*PAIKIN, HARPER ADMIT TO SLEEPING TOGETHER
*LAYTON THINKS QUEBECERS ARE ACTUALLY LISTENING TO HIM
*DUCEPPE THINKS REST OF CANADA ACTUALLY LISTENING TO HIM
*LAYTON "WOULDN'T MIND BEING PRIME MINISTER OR SOMETHING"
*DUCEPPE JUST NOT LETTING GO OF WHOLE CORRUPTION "THING"
*MARTIN CLEARLY READING FROM CUE CARDS; NOT GOOD

Last Night

My take on the debates,'cause there is no way I can beat this play-by-play

Martin:

Martin’s ploy to say he would remove the notwithstanding clause was done in hopes of achieving two things:
1-It would change the channel from Options Canada, ITScam, Gomery, his anti-SSM candidates, etc. (check comments here)
2-It would give anyone whose memory is long enough a warm and fuzzy feeling of Pierre Trudeau and the Liberal legacy.
What Martin fails to realise is one province has not-so-warm and fuzzy feelings of the night of the long knives. Way to win ‘em over in Quebec!

There was, of course, the mandatory mention of his dad, which is getting seriously creepy. And there was some mandatory Brian Tobin ass-kissing on CTV which had Liberal war room researchers wondering quietly: why does Tobin have an orange tan?

Harper:

Haprer has a PhD in from the School of Stay On Message. I also had no idea he opted out of the pension plan, which I hope more newspapers mention because that’s hot.

Duceppe:

Duceppe was more articulate than Martin, and when the modorator asked him "Do you care which one of these two men wins the eleciton" and he replied, "No" was the highlight of the night. Many will appreciate his straight shooting, vy-are-you-ahsking-me-dis-iz-ah-pravinshul-respannsability.
“Martin is the living example of a democratic deficit” had got to be the quote of the campaign. Sorry Scott Reid!

Layton:

I have to give Layton super mad props for mentioning foreign aid. He was the only leader who did.

Angels

Nicole Richie does Jimmy Choo...hook me up!

Does anyone remember Guns N Roses? Of course! Axl and Co are set to realease Chinese Democracy in March. Finally!

Wal-Mart is having search engine issues.

Starbucks proves that size does matter.

Not sure what SJP was attempting in this photo shoot but it ain't working for me.

Pink and Carey channel Pam and Tommy with their wedding band tattoos.

This Will Young fellow is apparently huge in Britain. He also needs a new tailor.

Mischa Barton should know that once a month, it's not wise to wear white pants.

Absolute Drunk.

Bam Margera's ex sells his chattel on eBay.

Master of Puppets

Brooklyn Beckham looks totally embarassed of his mum, who is normally MILF personified, except for when she dresses like, well, this.

Confessions of HOhan! LiLo bears all for the cover and in this interview for Vanity Fair.

Star Jones on the beach. No comment.

SJP makes a New Year's resolution. And it's so lame, kind of like her career post-SATC.

K-Fed may be PapoZao on Yahoo, but Brit dishes the shit for free! I wish for BritBrit in 2006 that she dumps her scrub, gets hot again, and makes a hot album. No more "Do Something"!

Wha-keen Phoenix goes to jail!

Truduea's baby's momma gives Maclean's an interview. How much you wanna bet the mag has a huge spread of Trudogurl wedding like they did for Trudoboyz? Somebody spare us from Trudo sex trophies!

Aaron + Carter = (sigh)
Why do I see rehab/The Surreal Life in his future?

Ebay has the designated top secret Brokeback Mountain Oscar!

Smile Like You Mean It

One of the greatest images of 2005.

Who let Scott Reid off the naughty stool long enough to start blessing us with his b.s.? I was hoping after the 'beer and popcorn' gaffe his mouth would be used in the mandatory P-Dawg ass kissing. Is the war room getting desperate?

Sale and Pelletier get hitched!

In what world does Louis Farrakan beat OPRAH in a poll? All the more reason to hit a real pole!

The story behind K-Fed's new song is pretty neat, but the lyrics are just whorendus:

I wanna see your kitty and a little bitta titty
Wanna know where I go when I'm in your city
Girl, don't you worry about all the dough
Cuz a cat is coming straight outta the know

Okkkkkay.

Even Eminem couldn't turn that shit to gold.

Speaking of which...
I guess '97 Bonnie and Clyde was about selling records?
Eminem is going through many different things at the moment. His reconcile with ex-wife Kim Mathers is going to end with the wedding of the couple in the early 2006. Neverless, Eminem is determined to get a custody of Kim's child with other man - Whitney - in order to become the only father of the girl. "I'm in love with that girl, man. She's so sweet and funny,"- the rap sensation claimed to Daily News Express. He's going not only to change Whitney's last name to Mathers, but also to become the father of the 3rd girl of his family. That is definitely proving the warm feelings Eminem still has for his ex-wife Kimberly Mathers.
