Russell Brand is a Freak

by

That Russell Brand, such a kidder. Always joking around about something. Says he needs to have an orgasm every 15 minutes. Oh and that he’s hoping for a child with Katy Perry some day. “I’m hoping for a hybrid creature, something from, Greek mythology like a satyr.” But what a lucky guy, about to marry the very sexy Katy Perry. Brand is of course the British actor/ comedian who played the kooky rockstar Aldous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

The best quote out of his recent Parade interview is in reference to sex addiction:

Men don’t face the imperative of having a baby grow in their belly, so the male mating strategy is based on making a lot of women pregnant, or at least having sex with them. The female strategy is to get one good man. That’s why marriage is not fair.

He jokes about trying that excuse on fiancee Katy, and you might think given what a babe she is, that there’s no reason to cheat. But then again, Tiger Woods and David Boreanaz both have beautiful wives and that didn’t stop them. In Tiger’s case, it’s probably going to cost him $750M, which just seems surreal. Russell might be a notorious joker; hopefully he’ll be faithful.

Celebrific Lowdown — May 27, 2010

by

So the current Agent 007, Daniel Craig (seen above half-naked on a beach and grabbing his crotch) was supposedly spotted in Venice, California, at a gay bar and later smooching outside in the parking lot. Of course, if Craig, who has played the epitome of the ladies’ man, James Bond, in two movies is actually gay or bisexual, he wouldn’t be the first or last male to be so in Hollywood. A good 15 years ago, someone threw out a statistic that 75% of male actors are gay, though some maintain a lifestyle of being straight. At least, that was supposedly true before many actors started “coming out.”

Alexis Houston, whom Matt Lauer did not have an affair with (according to Houston), is neither related to singer Whitney Houston nor actually a she. Houston was previously known as Wellington Houston before a sex change operation, and Stuart Houston before that.

The audio of a 911 call by a hotel employee suggests that Slipknot bassist Paul Gray had a hypodermic needle and pills near his body. The employee went to Gray’s room to check on him after his mother was unable to reach him on the phone.

According to a rep, Simon Monjack, the recently deceased widower of Brittany Murphy who was scheduled for heart bypass surgery, died of a broken heart. Brittany passed away at 32 on Dec 2009, and according to the rep, Simon’s life was turned upside down after that. He’ll be buried beside her in a private service. Truly sad. It’s easy to say that’s nonsense, but friends and family have relayed similar stories over the years about someone they knew who passed on not long after their spouse did. In most such cases, the couples were senior citizens, but not always.

Sometimes Celebrities Lie About Pregnancies

by

Entertainment tab The Star reported Kelly Preston, wife of John Travolta was pregnant with twins. According to a rep, the Travoltas are pregnant but not with twins. But that’s still good. A new tyke in the family might get John’s mind off the tragic loss 16-year old son Jett last year, maybe get him active. He’s not looking healthy these days, like his usual charismatic self.

Gwen Stefani, on the other hand, is not pregnant, just wearing baggy clothes. She says she’s open to a third child but not pregnant. Then again, other celebs have denied twins or even being pregnant until a certain safe stage in the pregnancy. I.e., a six-figure photo deal in one of the popular entertainment mags. For that matter, registering a web domain name, and Twitter and Facebook accounts for a future child is in order and might delay announcements even further. On a sadder note, celebs sometimes claim they’re not pregnant because of a miscarriage or chance of that happening. Or in the case of the Travoltas, The Star was just wrong,

Someone is Lying in Jesse James’ Family

by

Oh will the story ever get straightened out? Someone has to be lying. Jesse James, by his own admission on Nightline, not only wrecked his marriage by cheating on Sandra Bullock, now it seems he’s wrecking his family. He implied that his father abused him, which his ex-stepmom refuted. Now his sister, Julie James England, is speaking out and saying the abuse allegations are completely true, that dad Larry James did abuse Jesse, and that ex-stepmom Janina James Coan wasn’t married to Larry at the time of the alleged abuse. Of course, Michelle ‘Bombshell’ McGee had to add her two cents, analyzing Jesse’s Nightline interview and saying that he avoided the real dirt.

Stop. My head is spinning. I’m not surprised that yet another stepmom claims her husband (or former husband, in this case) “would never do that” or some such because it justifies their decision to have married that person. No one wants to the world to think they made a mistake. Either that or Larry James chilled out by the time Janina married him. (Yeah, that does happen; the angriest person can become a paragon of patience) Or she just never saw how he behaved. And Larry, who hasn’t interacted with any of his grandchildren, and who appeared in a video interview explaining his version of how Jesse broke his arm, is hoping for a reconciliation.

Princess Diana’s Son Spending $40M on Wedding

by

Prince William, oldest son of Prince Charles and the deceased Princess Diana, and his fiancee Kate Middleton are finally going to marry, and not surprisingly, it’ll be a wedding fit for a, uh, Prince. (Though he’s second in line to one day become King of England.) But they’re going to spend $40M on their public wedding. No word on whether this will be paid by taxpayers, or from the budget of Buckingham Palace, or from the pocket of Queen Elizabeth II, William’s grandmum. Queen Betty is independently one of the wealthiest women in the world, if not the wealthiest. Last I heard, maybe 10 years ago, she was worth close to a billion in assets including family jewels (in the literal sense).

Even if taxpayers aren’t footing the bill, does anyone else think this expenditure is sickening, given the state of the world today? Why don’t they just go to Vegas and have an Elvis impersonator marry them — or the British equivalent — and donate the money to charity? Regardless, no matter how much they spend, they just can’t outdo the fairytale wedding of his mother, Princess Diana, who was in love with Prince Charles from the get-go. Diana also did a great deal of charity work. If she were a live today, I wonder what she’d think of this expense, whether or not she had any say in what happened?

In other Royal news, Prince Andrew forgave ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, for trying to negotiate 500,000 British Pounds for access to him.
