The Kardashian sisters are in this horrible Burma PSA. While watching it my jaw dropped. Something that horrible is making it seem like it is a joke. This should never have seen the light of day. What do you think?

Joel Madden is throwing his support behind Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Asked why, he said:
“He is a good man, he is cool … He is just a great person overall.”
I happen to agree that he’s cool, but this comment leaves me wondering whether Joel even knows a speck about Obama’s politics.
Girlfriend Nicole Richie has already endorsed the Illinois senator.

Until Stephen Colbert’s mistaken invitation to the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2006, I didn’t even know celebrities graced the annual event with their A-List presence. This year, I’m left wondering who didn’t attend! Here are the highlights from Saturday night’s shindig:
**Pamela Anderson got a shout out from President Bush himself, who “joked that her proximity to Mitt Romney was surely a sign of the apocalypse.”
** Could girls have screamed any louder for The Jonas Brothers? And how in the world did they find skinny-leg pants tuxedos?
** Pete Wentz wore white socks with his tux and black dress shoes (Ashlee! Why did you let him out of the house that way!)
** In a red carpet interview that nearly made me spit out my coffee, Kal Penn was asked if he would be doing a screening of Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay at the dinner!
** Standing out in a sea of mostly very tasteful gowns, Heidi Montag showed up looking ghastly - and a bit recycled as well. Maybe she and Perez Hilton should have attended together instead? Or maybe once she decided it was, in fact, A-listy enough for her she didn’t have time to go shopping?
Also in attendance: Marcia Cross, Denise Austen, Lauren Conrad, Aaron Eckhart, Martha Stewart, Salman Rushdie, Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck, Jenny McCarthy, Hayden Panettiere, and featured entertainer Craig Ferguson.

Pamela Anderson was in Washington, D.C. yesterday criticizing the government for failing to update animal testing procedures. She hand delivered a report to politicians, urging [them] to start using “sophisticated, non-animal test methods in place of animal tests.”
This was the first visit to Washington as an American citizen for Canadian-born Anderson. She told reporters:
“Being a citizen excites me not just because I can vote, but because I can crack the whip on Capitol Hill to defend animals.”
Pammy will continue her lobbying efforts tonight at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, which she is attending with pal and PETA Vice President Dan Mathews.
I’m having a hard time picturing her giving testimony to Congress and being taken seriously by some of those hard-asses like Arlen Specter or Leslie Graham. (Especially if they’ve ever seen this photo!) However, her dedication to the cause is really admirable. Go Pam!

Actress Mia Farrow was in Cambodia to attend a memorial ceremony at the Khmer Rouge prison, when she and her group were forcefully pushed aside by Cambodian police.
The Cambodian government had barred the ceremony several days ago and police on Sunday sealed off all roads leading to the Khmer Rouge’s infamous Tuol Sleng prison, which is now a genocide museum.
The American actress and her group arrived at one of the barricades and refused to go away, according to an Associated Press reporter at the scene. Police started pushing the group, which eventually returned to a waiting car and drove off. Nobody appeared to have gotten hurt.
Farrow is one of many people trying to bring attention to Darfur and is aligned with the US group, Dream for Darfur. The group claims China continues to sell weapons to the Sudanese and fund the genocide.
She had planned to light an Olympic-style torch outside the former prison to send a message to China - the next Olympic host and one of Sudan’s major trading partners - to press the Sudanese government to end abuses in Darfur.
More than 200,000 people have died in Darfur since 2003 when ethnic African rebels took arms against the Arab-dominated central government. Khartoum denies accusations it committed widespread war crimes.
The Cambodian government, which has strong economic and political ties with China, said days ago it would prevent the 62-year-old actress from going through with the ceremony. The government accused Farrow of having ”a political agenda against China” and staging the event for political rather than humanitarian reasons.
Farrow denied that her intentions were political in an interview Saturday, and said she was determined to press ahead with the ceremony.
Farrow was accompanied by her son Ronan at the Cambodian site.

Superstar Madonna might be choosing sides in the upcoming presidential election. As Oprah Winfrey recently did with Barack Obama, her Madgesty might toss her hat in the ring with Hillary Clinton.
When contacted by Access Hollywood however, Madonna’s rep said that while the singing superstar appreciates Hillary, she hasn’t “formally” backed Clinton.
“Madonna has not formally endorsed Hillary Clinton. She’s certainly spoken highly of her, but that’s it,” the rep told Access.
Celebrities are begining to campaign for the 2008 candidates. Barbra Streisand is already a solid Clinton supporter and other celebs are endorsing various candidates: Chuck Norris and Ted Nugent for Mike Huckabee; Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne for John Edwards; John Mayer for Ron Paul; Sean Penn, Esai Morales and Willie Nelson for Dennis Kucinich, among many many other stars and candidates. Some personalities are polling to have possible negative effects such as Madonna, Tom Cruise, Rosie O’Donnell, Toby Keith and Bill O’Reilly. Should be interesting to see who sides with who, which candidate gets which nomination and then how the stars align.

Hey amigas! How are you all? Well, I’ll start by saying that this week, I want to dedicate this column to Joey Bishop, who passed away on October 17th. I know, that was a month ago, but still, those days I was probably too busy preparing my Halloween costume to even think about dedicating something to him. Whether we like it or not, him, Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis JR. became part of Hollywood history and a piece of Americana as The Rat Pack.
Ok, to the current issues now. Well, maybe not so current. As you all know by now, Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy split. She rode his plane and then took off on another one and headed home to South Africa. Maybe his plane was not working well enough.
But that’s not what I’m here to talk about today. Today, I want to talk about Harry’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. I love the Queen’s dresses, they are elegant, luxurious and….blue!
I love royal blue on any dress, provided, of course, that you have the good sense to wear them only once in a blue moon. The Queen wears royal blue to honor her country and I understand that, but shouldn’t she wear a white hat and red shoes too if she wants to honor Union Jack so badly? Jack, I beg you to please get the…blue out of the way, because your Queen has overworn it! She looks ragged, she looks stale and bored with all that blue on all the time.
Well, perhaps her looks aren’t entirely blue’s fault, since she is ripe old already, and, looking back through photos, she was never quite Richard Simmons, hugging and kissing people and congratulating them for their success either. And she is boring. While we love to talk about the Royal Family, I cannot imagine her sitting with me and laughing about a Desperate Housewifes episode, or her son Prince Charles and I, Antonio Santiago, speaking of the good ol’ days when Frank Bruno challenged Mike Tyson for boxing’s world Heavyweight title. I just don’t see them talking to regular people like you and I, because, heck, they don’t do that.
The Queen has got to wise up. Hasn’t she caught up something on her trips to New York, Rome, Delhi, Paris and around her own backyard in London? She would actually look quite elegant dressed in Black, White or another, sober color. I like royal blue, I love royal blue on any event, it looks classy and elegant. I just hate when people wear the same color over and over again. Maybe The Queen doesn’t have anyone who knows how to wash clothes, so she has been wearing the same dress over and over again, only changing the way in which she puts it on!
I truly believe she needs a few blues clues!
Ok, so it’s that time of the week. The title girl I need to do this week goes out to…ta ta ta tan!! ta ta ta tan! And the winner is: Chelsy Davy!!!!! The newly singled South African is gorgeous, she’s hot, and she just broke off that Prince who should turn into a frog forever, Harry.
Well, my dear amigas, that’s all for now. Until next week, I love you all! Take care and watch your men, I know how we men are, so trust me, you have to!

In yet another (possible) celebrity turned politician, one time 80’s hair band legend, Jon Bon Jovi, is considering a run for governor of New Jersey.
The rocker is rumored to be planning a run for governor of New Jersey! That’s reportedly why he’s held on to his Garden State home, even though he lives in New York.
When contacted for comment his rep confirmed his interest by responding “maybe.”
