I’m so excited about the US Elections, I can barely breathe. I know it’s sooooo UnAustralian of me not to just hate the Seppos and that, and I was never interested in politics either but this is better than Arnie running for Prez or Peter Garrett running for PM, right here. A girl could only dream so much.
Barack Obama is Sidney Poitier and President Kennedy and a good splash of JFK Jr. He is Martin Luther King Jr Jr Jr and he makes me see his dream, where black children and white children. He reminds me sooooo much of our own Kevin 07 who everybody loved soooooo much because next to the Fuhrer he sounded like the angels singing.
John McCain is sad for one reason only. If that’s the best that the American Republican Party can spit out, then the conversation’s closed, really, isn’t it? I think it’s kind of people not to drop to the floor and roll around uncontrollaly laughing whenever he’s close by. We are a civil society after all.
So these things have all been so reassuring that I’ve almost been feeling hopeful. Not that Barack Obama is going to buy the world a Coke and everyone will live happily ever after. Not that the Americans will hold hands and concede that people should be judged not on the colour of their skin but on the content of their character, to quote Dr. King.
I’m excited because Barack is like the best celebrity we could have dreamed up: he’s young enough, old enough, black enough, white enough, you can take Barack ANYWHERE! After all these years of Dubya walking around with that stupid i-just-looked-up-a-bad-word-in-the-dictionary smirk, I’m desperate for an all rounder with some genuine charisma. He’s sooooo handsome. The world is going to hell and this is a much better looking way to go.
One has to check with Perez Hilton even if one has to look away from his uncanny resemblance to Big Gay Al. i LOVE BGA how dare Mario try to impersonate him.But the reason he makes me sick to my stomach is for stuff like this:
Just Askin’

Frances Bean Cobain picks up a coffee in Malibu on Thursday and displays some weird markings all over her arm.
Why would she scribble all over herself???
Was she drunk/high????
Frances Bean, you need to stay far FAR away from the drugs, honey!
Just sayin’!

WHO IS HE TO COMMENT LIKE A GRANDMOTHER ABOUT FRANCES BEAN? CLEARLY SHE’S A LITTLE EMO, AS WE ALL WOULD BE, AND SHE TOOK TO HERSELF WITH SOME ANGE LIKE MARKINGS WITH A FELT PEN. BUT PEREZ CAN SNIFF THAT SOMEONE WHO ISN’T HEATH LEDGER IS THINKING ABOUT DRUGS. IT’S OK IF IT’S HEATH.
PEREZ IS SOOOOOOO CLEARLY THE ADULT CHILD OF AN ALCOHOLIC. TIPPER GORE WAS MORE FUN TO HANG OUT WITH THAN PEREZ. AND FOLLOWING HIS DESPERATE 12 STEP WITCH HUNT, HE PUTS UP A BIG AD FOR HIMSELF…..EUWWWW
Who does this guy think he is? Not only did he cheat on a supermodel, but he picked on Billy Joel’s daughter!!! I HATE HIM. I’m so glad Christie is sharing him with the world. And the loser was that guy that threatens to kill himself when you break up with him who is over the age of 14. He could have done the world a favour, but he couldn’t go through with that either. People magazine says:
Brinkley detailed a call she received from Cook shortly after she discovered news of his shocking affair in 2006, describing her estranged husband as being hysterical and suicidal. “He was sobbing and said he was driving erratically and that, ‘I’m going to drive into a tree,’” Brinkley said on the stand. “I said, ‘Pull over. You need help.’ He said, ‘No, I’m going to kill myself.’ Then I spent the rest of the day trying to find a place he could go to get help.”
I think I dated him a few times. Can he get any worse?
People then tells us that

After a long day on the witness stand, Brinkley told reporters she wanted to let Diana Bianchi, 21, know that she forgives her.
“I’d just like to say after two days of testimony that I can’t help but think about Diana Bianchi, and I want her and her family to know that I feel really badly for them,” said Brinkley. “I feel bad for her and I forgive her completely.”
“She was manipulated.”
A source says that on Wednesday, Bianchi approached Brinkley’s daughter Alexa Joel, 20, outside the courtroom and apologized.
“Diana said, ‘I am sorry for the pain I have caused you and your family,’” says the source. “Alexa then hugged her and said, ‘We have all been through a lot.’”
Now that’s the attitude. She knows who Alexa Ray Joel is. She’s like the Shiloh of the late 80’s. I don’t care who she looks like. She’s CoverGirl royalty.
Christie Brinkley’s husband is gross. She’s so grateful to the 18 year old with a cop for a stepfather for showing her the truth. The best part of this story wasn’t about his icky porn addiction or his incredible stupidity. The best part is
“Cohen said Brinkley is a doting mother whose work schedule revolves around her children. Her ex-husband, pop singer Billy Joel, is also involved in their lives.
“Uncle Billy is around to support these kids,” said Cohen.
Alexa Ray Joel, 22, the daughter of Brinkley and Joel, will be called to testify about Cook’s “constant criticism of Alexa,” said Cohen.” Who would be mean to Alexa Ray?? I love Alexa Ray. Remember the Matter of Trust video when she was a baby and everything was GOOD in the world…? So does Peter Cook and he’s taken it out on Alexa, and Uncle Billy as well…if Christie’s kids don’t want him will he be my Uncle Billy? Stay tuned Alexa will testify…
The Holy Mother has checked herself into hospital so that the next Shiloh Nouveau (new Messiah) and twin can be born. This is so exciting, not diminished at all by Jennifer Anniston’s grief. Woohoo!!!!!! She’s like the guy who turned down the Beatles. She must kick herself black and blue everyday. Or she should. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…Ange looks so great….
Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the South of France in anticipation of giving birth to twins, the Associated Press reports.
“There’s no urgency,” hospital representative Nadine Bauer tells the AP. “[Jolie's admittance has] been planned for a long time.”
Bauer added, “She’s very well. Everything is fine.”
Jolie and Brad Pitt are expecting their fifth and sixth children. The clan currently consists of Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2.
I am such a big fan of Christie’s always have been. She’s a classic and even after she left Billy Joel like, she’s ageing like a trooper. This divorce is going to be so much fun for all of us and Christie, and possibly even Billy Joel, even though he has a youngster of his own for a wife. Let the games begin.
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — There’s not much the public hasn’t seen of Christie Brinkley.
Whether it’s in next-to-nothing swimsuits in Sports Illustrated or starring in ex-husband Billy Joel’s rock videos or in countless boldface tabloid mentions, the quintessential California blond cover girl has become a fixture on the cultural landscape.
And now Brinkley’s divorce from her fourth husband, Hamptons architect Peter Cook, is about to be aired in full public view as a trial opens Wednesday on Long Island.
It’s rare for divorce cases to go to trial and be open to the public. Brinkley, 54, opposed a move by a legal guardian for her children that would have closed the proceedings to the public, apparently comfortable with the prospect that Cook’s alleged affair with an 18-year-old employee and other intimate details of their 10-year marriage will be ripe for public consumption.
Their SCANK girl is having the baby in Tennessee. That means it’s NOT Australia’s most anticipated baby. I’m more excited about Tara from work’s baby actually, since it won’t be an Alien. SCANK girl will probably take all the glory from both countries. She was born in Hawaii but she’s happy to cash in on being Australian and Our Nic. But I want this on record. SCANK baby is to be born on US soil. It’s therefore an American Alien. Not an Australian one.

AUSTRALIA’S most anticipated terrifying baby is expected to be born on US soil with Nicole Kidman showing no sign of leaving her adopted home birth country as the due date nears.
The actress, who is eight months pregnant, will most likely give birth in a Tennessee hospital or Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles. More SCANK propaganda here
Poor Elle. Looking like this didn’t win her a husband and when I realised that it inspired me to go on a binge eating session like never before. Why be thin? It hasn’t worked for Elle, THE Body, so why, I figure should I be any different.
Even producing long haired Swiss lanky heirs didn’t get what Uma gets. 8 carats and all those Swiss bank accounts. What she got that Elle don’t? Maybe she reads books she hasn’t written. Maybe having Timothy Leary for a stepfather taught her something about bewitching. Thank you People magazine for making me feel better. Elle, if you’re reading this honey, which obviously you aren’t, but if one of your friends is, feel free to drop over for some ice cream and sympathy. Uma’s like the other Angelina.
Uma Thurman is engaged to her Swiss multimillionaire boyfriend, Arpad “Arki” Busson, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
“I can confirm she is engaged,” Stephen Huvane said on Friday. New York’s Daily News was first to report the engagement.
In return for saying yes, the actress received some serious sparkle: an 8-plus carat center stone surrounded by 20 smaller stones. “It’s the most beautiful piece I’ve ever seen,” says a close source of the diamond ring. “Arki did a wonderful job.”
The pair began dating last summer after attending a private dinner together in Milan. Since then, their relationship quickly heated up despite the fact that the couple lived on different continents (she is based in New York, he in London).
It would be the third marriage for Thurman, who has a son and daughter with ex Ethan Hawke, whom she divorced in 2003. Her marriage to Gary Oldman ended in 1992. Busson has two sons with former supermodel Elle Macpherson, from whom he split in 2005.
There’s something really unlucky about dying in an Olsen apartment. There was something strange about Heath Ledger’s family saying ACCIDENTAL every second word before they’d even removed the body from the apartment. Now, there’s something freaky about the Ledger family’s handling of his estate. Very Hutchence it appears. Something for Peter Andre to note. Wouldn’t want his family to spend it all on boomerangs and dingoes. From deceiver.com:
Heath Ledger’s Family Is Botching Up His Will
Remember when Heath Ledger’s family swore that they would provide for Matilda, his daughter with Michelle Williams, even though his will had been written before she was born? Back in March:
“Matilda is our absolute priority and Michelle is an integral part of our family,” Heath’s father Kim Ledger says in a statement. “They will be taken care of and that’s how Heath would want it to be.”
Ledger’s rep quickly squashed any speculation that Williams and 2-year-old Matilda would not be provided for. “The story is getting taken out of context and media is speculating that this means Matilda and Michelle will not be taken care of. I want to make it very clear nothing could be farther from the truth.”
I’m sure Michelle Williams remembers this very clearly. But fast forward to now and apparently she and her daughter haven’t seen a dime of that inheritance. Michelle is reportedly planning to boycott the premiere of The Dark Knight next month over the dispute.
Not that I blame her. Kim Ledger made news a while back for his financial incompetence, so it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if he’s already spent it all on boomerangs and dingoes.
She is looking rather Wildersteiny is Joan. We can only commend her for her face in the face of this ordeal. Can’t figure out if she got thrown out for swearing or getting in first. Wonder if Danielle Spencer just glows on the inside, secretly crying, Thank you Joan Rivers, thank you.
Joan Rivers booted from live TV show for Russell

Kicking up a storm … Joan Rivers.

US comedian Joan Rivers was booted from a British daytime talk show in the middle of its live broadcast for swearing while talking about Russell Crowe.
Rivers, 75, stunned the Loose Women presenting team when she described the Australian actor as a “f%$*ing sh#t”, The Guardian’s website reported.
She was asked to leave during a commercial break.
The comment prompted 48 complaints, an ITV source told MediaGuardian.co.uk.
Rivers told the website it was the first time she had ever been ejected from a TV show and that she only swore because she thought the program had a time delay on it.
“I thought there was a seven-second delay,” Rivers said.
Rivers - who was on the show to promote her West End acting debut in the play Joan Rivers: A Work in Progress by a Life in Progress - was due to return to the show after the ad break but was instead ejected from the Loose Women studio.
“I have won an Emmy, been nominated for a Tony award, done every show and become an icon and when people ask me what is left in my career I have always said I don’t know, but I have never been forcibly thrown out of a TV studio. It is another milestone,” she said.
