Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Still On

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi at Louis Vuitton Gala

Despite reports that the twosome were splitting, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi arrived looking very happy together at the Louis Vuitton Gala in Los Angeles. The pair were rumoured to have split, which in turn caused DeGeneres to melt down on air of her talkshow, about the adoption of the dog Iggy. Seems like, for the time being anyway, everyone got it wrong.

Ugliest Person Ever on a Stamp gets Published

Ok, I always thought that U.S. stamps were either for real people to adorn them, or at least, reasonably looking ones. But now it turns out that a fake person, Yoda from Star Wars, will be featured on a stamp. That, my dear friends, is one of the days’ big entertainment news.

I like Star Wars, the movies. I even collected the figures when I was a little boy. But I am not a desperate, must have every Star Wars dildo available outthere kind of fan. That would be my brother in law. And Yoda is as scary as they get as far as Star Wars characters. Even 3pio or however it is that you write it is a candidate for Tiger Beat teen idol or Mr. Universe next to Yoda!

By the way, Yoda’s name sounds suspiciously close to yoga…hmmnn.

Yoda is a great person if you want some wisdom and stuff, and of course if you live in a planet far away from Earth, but you’d think that the postal service would honor someone else with their stamps. How come Johnny Cash has not been given that honor? Cash at least is an American while Yoda wasn’t even from Earth! And he wasn’t real!!

Had I been Luke Skywalker, I would have run to Earth or Mars or any other planet in another galaxy the moment I ran into Yoda, no spaceship needed. I’d probably thought I had died and gone to Hell because the only famous person Yoda reminds me of is The Devil. Those big, wide opened eyes and that skin of a 200 year old man, with a couple of hairs on his brownish head top and who can forget those ears that are so long Yoda could probably scratch them with their very end? I suspect the new United States stamp is one that won’t be getting kissed for a long time.

As far as Yoda’s fashions, well, he and Vincent Margera of Viva La Bam are among that group of people, men specially, the ones who don’t have any idea Madison Avenue and Sex and the City existed. But at least Margera wears shirt and pants, while Yoda wears some kind of towel, also brown by the way, even as the weather in his planet could be freezing for all we know. Maybe that’s why he’s so wrinkled. The fashion police should jail Margera and Yoda away forever but it would be hard to touch someone who looks so….so…so..what’s the word? Disgusting, that’s it. Someone who looks as disgusting as Yoda. Margera is disgusting too but he’s a mile better looking than that little piece of…brown that Star Wars gave us.

Besides that towel he covers himself with looks shabby and ragged. By the way, what’s up with Yoda being allowed to be seen with that towel only by Star Wars guys?? Reminds me of Madonna’s song “My baby’s got a Secret”..well, seems to me old man’s got a secret as well. I respect gay and lesbian people like I said last week. So, Yoda if you are reading this from your computer in planet Xegovia or whatever, drop us a line! You can share your secret and I won’t feel you as a lesser person. But your looks and your fashion taste must change, little old buddy.

Talking of planets, this week’s must do it with babe for me is Lucy Lawless, that of Xena Planet fashion! And I am all for anything Lawless she may want to do with me as long as it’s in the right place!!!

Ladies…follow me. We are gonna have some fun chatting it up and seeing what’s cooking from here until next week. Chau!

Owen Wilson to Give First Interview After Suicide Attempt

Owen Wilson

Longtime friend and director of The Darjeeling Limited, Wes Anderson, will have actor Owen Wilson’s first interview up on MySpace Artists on Artists page.

In September, at the Venice Film Festival, Anderson said that his friend was “doing well.” He added: “When he’s ready he’s going to speak for himself much better than anyone else could. He has a very good way with words.”

The interview will be posted this Friday (October 26th) at midnight. No word on what topics Wilson will talk about.

Britney’s Mom Publishing a Memoir

Lynne Spears and daughter Jamie Lynn 

Lynne Spears, mother of Jamie Lynn and Britney Spears, is reportedly ready to write an autobiography that details raising her children.

Set for a spring 2008 release, mama Spears’ memoir will give readers and fans a revealing look into her “personal story” of grooming Britney, 25, and Jamie Lynn, 16, into big-time celebs “while coming from a low-profile Louisiana community,” a source tells OK!.

How can anyone take her seriously after the kind of mess we’ve seen Britney in? What parenting advice could she give? Jamie Lynn is 16 and while she isn’t in trouble yet, remember, Britney didn’t go off the rails until she was in her 20′s, rebelling against mom.

David Copperfield’s Alledged $2M Offer to Make Accusation Go Away

David Copperfield 

When you are in a legal jam and you have considerable cash, what do you do? If you are magician David Copperfield, you might alledgely offer cash (2 million dollars to the Seattle woman,) to make your problems disappear.

Copperfield yesterday declined to say whether he had $2 million on hand or made a settlement offer to his accuser. “We are respecting the process of the investigation and the confidentiality that surrounds it,” he told us.

While the FBI has raided his Vegas warehouse, the bureau is declining to comment on whether that much money was found, as has been speculated. Digital camera equiptment and a computer hard drive are what is known to have been seized in the raid.

Nicole Kidman Box Office Poison?

Nicole Kidman

Actress Nicole Kidman has been working steadily this past year, despite some folks wondering aloud if she is the key to many of her recent films doing dismal box office bank.

With nearly 50 films under her belt, Nicole currently has five films in the works; the earliest, The Golden Compass, is scheduled for release on December 7th. The $175 million film has many holding their breath, but some critics, including the film’s crew, are less than enthused. Reports that the movie is awful have been impossible to stop. Compass, which New Line Cinemas hopes will revive the company, has been dismissed as “just plain bad.”

Her recent string of movie choices has been terrible: Bewitched, The Invasion, The Stepford Wives. In fairness to her, I don’t think it’s her, per say. Kidman used to work less and chose better roles: The Others, Moulin Rouge, Cold Mountain. The other interesting paradox about this is those ‘better’ well-received movies were during her Tom Cruise era. You could make the case that she is happier personally with Keith Urban now, so her attention is not as focused on career successes. Or she could just have a string of bad luck. What do you think?
