Don't Let Me Get Me.

Wow. Ruby Dhalla. I have never heard anyone sound so graceless, immodest, vulgar, self-centered, clueless and vile.
Looks for much Dhalla dissing in the future when she decides to run.
Fresh Prince is also in India right now.

According to the Guardian Weekly, Nicole Richie is a 'style icon'. 'Rexsi say whaaa?

Yipee! More albums from Coldplay! Look at the stars, look how they shine for you!

Crapilera will release a new album this year. Am I part of the cure or am I part of the disease?

Eva Longwhoreia says the word 'retarded' is retarded. I agree!

Hohan really, obviously powders her nose.

Two people I approve of breeding, Christy Turlington and Ed Burns.

Dave Beckham may have problems with simple math, but he is still yummy.

Dolly Parton Quote of the Day:

"Having a big gay following, I get hate mail and threats," she says. "Some people are blind or ignorant, and you can't be that prejudiced and hateful and go through this world and still be happy. One thing about this movie is that I think art can change minds. It's all right to be who you are."

I am so sick and tired of hearing about our men's hockey team. ENOUGH. I'm actually glad they lost, they played like shit!

Look at it this way, compared to the women it was so heart-warming to see Canada lose, because it just shows that money and power are nothing compared to a good attitude and a work ethic - so there's hope for all of us!

New Sensation

Man, if there is anything worse than an asswipe husband, it's having the asswipe husband and his "Contract of Wifely Expectations" exposed on the Smoking Gun.

How does a man like this even FIND a woman willing to marry him? Good Behaviour Days my arse...

Live It Out

Like most Canadians, I've been glued to the TV watching our FABU athletes in Torino make me feel horribly fat sitting on the couch, yet still I watch!

I am, however, getting FED UP with that Tim Horton's commercial. You know, the one with the Japanese father and son? That ad makes NO SENSE. Anyone who grew up with immigrant parents will understand my frustrations.

Here is how I interpret that ad (broken down so Americans can follow the plot)

* = doesn't actually appear in ad but I think is implied

1) Son loves hockey
2) Father wants son to study
3) Father pretends not to go to son's games
4) Father is secret creepy freak and secretly watched son's games instead of getting the fuck in the stands like the other parents.
5) This is OK because they're NOT LIKE US, they're IMMIGRANTS
6) Everyone at rink who knows dad watches is an asshole and never tells son
7) Son grows up horribly scarred believing that father never bothered to attend any games and did not love him*
8) Son also grows up with insane amounts of pressure, knowing that what he does will never be good enough for his father*
9) Son also grows up with immigrant issues - wants to play hockey like Canadian kid, has to juggle immigrant identity*
10) Son lets his son play hockey and watches and doesn't play mind games with him like a normal person
11) Dad shows up to watch grandson
12) Son is justifiably surprised, as he has spent LAST 40 YEARS believing his father didn't love him enough to watch him play
13) Son has spent about 20 years in therapy*
14) Son has "anger and frustration issues" a la shEmanuel Sandhu due to perceived lack of love*
15) Father says "HAHA!! You know how you thought I didn't care about you for your whole life? Guess what? Actually I did! HA HA HA!"
16) Son proceeds to beat father to death. NOPE, actually son smiles ruefully, like, HA HA you sure outfoxed me with that pretending not to care thing! HA HA! Well played!
17) Grandfather proceeds to cheer on grandson.
18) Just when you thought Grandfather couldn't POSSIBLY BE A BIGGER ASSHOLE, he has the NERVE to be like "HA HA, your kid is better than you." ASSHOLE.
19) Grandfather is creepy and his picture of his son's hockey team secretly in wallet - WHAT AN ASSHOLE. It would be funny if he pointed at the WRONG KID, like "you played right wing!" "Um, no I didn't, I was the goalie."
20) Tim Hortons coffee is involved
21) Because immigrants WORK HARDER than white folk? But they like white folk coffee. WHAT AN ASSHOLE!

This ad ENRAGES ME. It's supposed to be all warm-and-fuzzy about those hard-working immigrants, but all it does is perpetuates stereotypes and portray Tim's as the great Canadian Assimilator.

Tim Horton's commercials are lame - like that one with the kid jetting all round the world and being lonely until he comes home and his dad brings him Timmyhos coffee at the airport. Yeah, because the Louvre, the Pyramids, La Scala and the Taj Mahal ain't NOTHIN' compared to Battleford, Saskatchewan and a cup of joe.

Lose Yourself

I'm not a PR expert, nor do I know Kinsella or Mark Bourrie but this stunt REEKS of opportunism for Kinsella. An avid reader of all the major celebrity rags, Kinsella would make any publicist proud.

Beyond geeky political circles, does anyone know who Kinsella is? Not really. And since there has never been a high-profile blog-type lawsuit in Canada, this will get loads of media attention. Kinsella is never one to miss an opportunity to plug his band, his books, or his experience and thus to get people to read his column, increase traffic on his site and pay big bucks to run campaigns he needs to keep his name in the news.

Thus, I'm not buying his 'hate crime' schtick any more than I buy TomKat as a couple in love.

HAPPY V- DAY Y'ALL!

I was going to ask Panther for the latest issue of the Western Standard, but finidng that 'perfect' gift is hard enough...

Seriously, does anyone know where I can get it in Ottawa? Can't they just put it behind the counter with dark wrapping, like they do for the porno mags?

Waltzing Matilda

Another reason why Vegas is the greatest city in the world. Maybe Rod's sex trophy could hang with Rene-Charles Dion?

Jack Layton doesn't whump that trick. Memo to Jack: grow a pair.

Check the new X-Men promo pics.

See, I don't think Moss needs to see a brain specialist for her memory loss, I think she needs a new dealer.

Kanye West lurves to watch porno. I'm not surprised!

Sharon Stone in Esquire: HOT HOT HOT! Michelle Trachwhatever in Jane: BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS! Hillary Duff on the cover of Cosmo: Meh.

Janet Jackson's label lays down the law: no more humps

This took forever to download, but totally worth it. New LL Cool J vid avec J.Lo.

Would you buy a Charlie Sheen clothing line? I didn't think so.

Should I ever catch sperm poisoning, I totally want my ex-lesbian lover as my godparent. Go Brangelina!

Feel Good Inc.

Madonna. At the Grammy's. With Gorillaz. Right Here. We did not make this up! Oh, and Madonna's new Sorry vid. You're welcome!

For those of you who missed it, a great summary of the Grammy's

Get Oprah on your radio. Isn't 5 days a week, plus a magazine enough?

The Freakonomis guy hates Jessica Simpson. Meow!

The Duffster says: I'm not 'rexi!

DaBrat realises what Britney Spears figured out a long, long time ago.

Brian Mulroney gets investigated. AGAIN. Can't we let the man retire in peace? I would lurve for someone to dig into Chretien. I'll bet he's diriter than a Gatineau strip club.

Drink Carlsberg y'all!

Satisfaction

Meow! SJP hates the culture of celebrity. She's absolutely right. I mean, it's not like SJP does anything totally lame to contribute to the culture of celebrity...

Nicole Richie on the cover of Elle Girl. After a quick scan we learn that Nicole is still not eating.

More religious people thinking they know best. After this, I see a silver lining. Perhaps the Beer Store will FINALLY have stock of my favourite beer, Carlsberg. They're always out everytime I go!
Kate has a list of Danish products/companies. Protest as you please, just don't burn shit down, K?

NBA All-Star Team, Eastern Conference (so far) is a huge fraud. No Pistons beyond Flip is just WRONG.

Everyday is a winding road: Sheryl and Lance split. Maybe her hairdresser was the influence:

"I have this one client, and I gave her an ultimatum," she said. " 'You have to leave him if he's not going to marry you. You're 43, and you've got to get out. You can't accept this. You're beautiful.'

I had no idea one could get a white tattoo. Interesting choice for HOhan.

Whaaa whaaaa..Gwyneth complains that she's busy, of all things. Um, Gwennie? You're also RICH.

No fair! Charlize was a beauty back in the day even with nerd glasses!

Quick thoughts on the events of this morning:

*The Emerson Switch: Eat it bitches! I'm not saying I agree, but I'll take Emerson anyday over Keith Martin, Belinda and Brison, Bruck Easton and whoever else.

*Diane Findley couldn't stop smiling as she was taking her oath. Nice to see!

*Lawrence Cannon is kinda hot. No, I'm not kidding.

*Michaelle Jean does something fan-f*cking-tastic.

*Ben and Rachel are officially the two cutest sex trophies ever.

Emotion

For die-hard Sex and the City fans ONLY: Charlotte's hoo-ha on eBay.

Stephanie Tanner on smack? How rude!

Duff and friends do the new Candies ad. Turns out Duff is a beeotch!

Just in time for the Oscars: Broke Mac Mountain. Steve Jobs would love it!

I don't think Moo-riah is fat, however I do think she needs to wear clothing with more, um coverage.

Hey Papi! Check the new Beyonce and Jay-Z crib in Miami.

What father gets takes his four month-old son to get his ears pierced? Right. K-Fed.

In honour of Superbowl Sunday which is going on right near my hometown, I give you Star Jones getting smoked by a football. Karma's a bitch!
