When this landed in my inbox, I was more than a little confounded. P-mates? What? Why? How?
I don’t know about any of you ladies, but I have never wished that I could use a urinal. They’re dirtier than women’s restrooms, and personally I like the privacy of having my own stall. So thoroughly perplexed was I, that I sought out this little explanatory video.
Wait, I could write my name in the snow? Okay, I am totally on board.

By now I am sure you’ve seen poor Lauren Caitlin Upton give the worst pageant interview answer since Cheryl Frasier said her idea of a perfect date was “April 25th”. Yesterday she got a chance to redeem herself on the Today show. Let’s see how well she did, shall we?
Third runner up? Seriously? I guess the interview portion doesn’t really count for much in the final tally. And much as I feel for the girl, I have to say, her “re-do” is still kind of retarded. She and her friends know where America is on a map? Bravo! Well done! Give that girl a crown!

Following what has essentially felt like a slow news century, today has brought us so many informative items, I hardly know where to begin. As such, allow me to present a round-up:
Jake Gyllenhaal is gay and pregnant. Only one of those things is surprising.
Alberto Gonzales has resigned. This is not at all surprising.
Owen Wilson attempted suicide/ODed on heroin over the weekend. Maybe he finally looked in a mirror. (Okay, sorry, maybe it’s not okay to make fun of the suicidal. But if it was the drug thing, then I stand by my joke. He’s got a penis on his face, for God’s sake!)
Britney Spears might be a child abuser. Did I say might be? Sorry, I meant “definitely is.”

Happy Friday everybody! If the mind-boggling Gregorius can’t tickle your funny bone, then just wait until his kicky, fey backup dancers bust a groove. Kind of makes me want to plan a trip to 1970’s Finland.

Yes, friends, today I have passed the 100,000 hits mark! Hooray for me! And hooray for you, my loyal readers, without whom I would just be a sad little person sitting in a cubical, typing into the ethosphere, waiting for someone to notice me. Thanks, and see you at one million!

Is it just me, or does Mena Suvari’s new Neonazi Bootcamp Makeover make her look like the precog from Minority Report?
You be the judge!

Just as you were trying to figure out how to squeeze your pit bull into his new Hello Kitty costume, now comes this report that will make thirteen-year-old Japanese girls everywhere flock to apply to the Thai police force.
BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) — Thai policemen who break rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring “Hello Kitty,” the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame, a senior officer said Monday.
Police officers caught littering, parking in a prohibited area, or arriving late — among other misdemeanors — will be forced to stay in the division office and wear the armband all day, said Police Col. Pongpat Chayaphan. The officers won’t wear the armband in public.
The striking armband features Hello Kitty sitting atop two hearts.
“Simple warnings no longer work. This new twist is expected to make them feel guilt and shame and prevent them from repeating the offense, no matter how minor,” said Pongpat, acting chief of the Crime Suppression Division in Bangkok….
Wow, those guys are really twisted. Hello Kitty arm bands? With not one, but two hearts? What do the real criminals get? SpongeBob t-shirts? I heard this girl was caught shoplifting at the Piggly Wiggly.
Oh the humanity!

Tonight’s the night, folks! The long anticipated sequel to High School Musical debuts on the Disney Channel at 8 pm! I’m guess if you’ve landed here, instead of my Extra Special Zac Efron Blog, it means you’re not particularly interested in the schlock-fest. Nevertheless, presented for your enjoyment is this video of two guys who should NOT know this song, performing their hearts out.

I was going to post this back in July, when the Daily Mail broke the Bear Gryllls scandal, but I was secretly hoping Bear would address the issue and say he was only staying in hotels because it was a life or death circumstance. In case you aren’t familiar, here are the claims being investigated by Channel 4.
In one episode filmed in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains he was shown biting off the head of a snake for breakfast and boasting that he was living on ‘just a water bottle, a cup and a flint for making fire’. Viewers were not told that he was actually spending some nights in the Pines Resort hotel at Bass Lake, where the rooms have Internet access and is advertised as ‘a cosy getaway for families’ complete with blueberry pancakes for breakfast.
In another episode when Grylls declared he was a ‘real life Robinson Crusoe’ stuck on a desert island, he was actually on an outlying part of the Hawaiian archipelago and retired to a motel at nightfall.
Mark Weinert, a survival consultant brought in for the programme, said one show also wrongly gave the impression that the adventurer built a Polynesian- style raft using only materials around him, including bamboo and palm leaves for a sail.
Mr Weinert had in fact led a team that built the raft, which was then dismantled so that Grylls could be shown constructing it on camera.
In another episode, Grylls was filmed attempting to lasso ‘wild’ mustang in the Sierra Nevada, when the horses were actually tame and had been brought in by trailer from a nearby trekking station….
Channel 4 confirmed that Grylls had used hotels during expeditions and ordered the production company that made the programme to investigate the other claims.
I desperately wanted to believe that this is all being blown out of proportion — that Bear is simply so adept at surviving in the wilderness that he actually BUILT a blue-berry-pancake-serving bed & breakfast out of twigs and moss — but alas this video seems to speak volumes to legitimize the accusations.

Okay, I guess none of this is “news,” but I admit I was a little shocked and dismayed.
Apparently, when Brit isn’t busy filling the kids full of their favorite caffeinated concoctions, including coffee, “she also lets them sit in soiled diapers for hours until someone else changes them,” the source told Star. “And she keeps both children up late at night to ensure they sleep late — this includes waking them up if they fall asleep before 11 p.m.” No wonder they need so much coffee!
As for her other child-care foibles, Star’s source says, “she tried to whiten (Sean Preston’s) teeth using Crest Whitestrips, but he kept crying. Finally, Britney threw the strips away, telling Sean, ‘Fine, you’ll just have ugly teeth then!’”
By far the most explosive revelation featured in the Star report is how BritBrit speaks to her brood. “When Britney is upset, she yells and screams at the boys and once told them, ‘You were both mistakes!’ She’s called them ‘burdens, a pain in the ass and the reason (your) father left,’” claims the source.
Geez, maybe she and Alec Baldwin can start some sort of parenting school, since they are obviously competing for Best Parent EVER Awards. Those poor over caffeinated, diaper rash-afflicted, sleep-deprived, dentally-compromised kids have a hard enough time without my making fun of their mother, so will just say this — Help them Obi Wan K-Fed, you’re their only hope.
