J. K. Rowling Say No More Harry Potter Books

by

J K Rowling.jpgInstant success British author J. K. Rowling has refused to change her mind about penning and more Harry Potter books.  Rowling is determined to retire the teenage wizard before he becomes something similar to a stale piece of bread, that may look enticing if you’re ravenous, but is still a stale morsel. 

Rowling is currently in the midst of writing the final Harry Potter novel & admits that she will find it difficult to cope without her famous Potter & pals.  

She says, “I’m going to have to learn (to live without him), I think.

“(But) you’ve got to go out on top.”

Too true.  Why I was just on top the other day…..

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt Ready for Adoption

by

Angelina Jolie & Anderson Cooper.jpgIn an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper to be aired Tuesday, Angelina Jolie confesses that she & partner Brad Pitt will adopt another child in the near future.  Just weeks after the birth of their first biological child together, the famous couple are already looking into the future. 
 
“Next we’ll adopt.  We don’t know which–which country. But we’re looking at different countries. And we’re–I’m just–it’s gonna be the balance of what would be the best for Mad (Maddox) and for Z (Zahara) right now. It’s, you know, another boy, another girl, which country, which race would fit best with the kids.”

Jolie& Pitt’s 15-month-old adopted daughter Zahara is from Ethiopia & four-year-old son Maddox is from Cambodia, see tattoo for more details. 

The couple’s youngest child, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, was born on May 27 in the African country Namibia.  Jolie said her reason for giving birth in Namibia was that she loved Africa & wanted to take Zahara back to Africa. 

“My other daughter’s African.  And I wanted to take her back to Africa.”

Jolie said she was terrified during the birth of Shiloh, which was by Caesarean section due to the baby being in a breech position.

“And you know, because you’re there for the birth, which I wasn’t for my first two kids, you’re just suddenly terrified that they’re not gonna take a first breath,” she said.

“That was my whole focus. I just wanted to hear her cry. And I was sure everything would go right–at the last minute, I became the mother that was sure everything was gonna go wrong. And she’s healthy, and it was amazing.”

It’s a beautiful thing- being wealthy & having the ability to have your own colors of Benetton family, not to mention the time & means to help move the world into a better place.  So, if you have a lot of spare cash around & want your own personal goodwill ambassador- just give me a buzz.

Screech Dustin Diamond Sells T-Shirts to Save Home

by

Save My House Screech Pic.jpg

Dustin Diamond, known better as Screech from the TV show Saved by the Bell, has become another child star to inappropriately manage his monies.  In an effort to save his home, Diamond is trying to raise $250,000 by selling t-shirts.

The 29-year-old comedian needs to sell 30,000 shirts at $15 – $20 a piece by the end of this month to prevent foreclosure on his home in Port Washington, Wisconsin, near Milwaukee.

The t-shirt features a photo of Diamond holding a sign that reads “Save My House” and the back states: “I paid $15.00 to save Screech’s house.”

Diamond recently appeared on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show to argue his case: “I’m doing great with my comedy, but this is definitely a low point.”

Dustin’s current career as a standup comic does not pay all the bills & the poor child star is left to scratch at the surface of the American public for any pittance they will give. 

Diamond said his current career as a standup comic will not pay the bills.  He claims that his earnings from the highly-rated TV series Saved By the Bell, which ran from 1989-1993, were spent by his parents & that he made some minor tax miscalculations.  Diamond filed for bankruptcy in 2001.

While appearing on Howard Stern’s show, a hopeful Dustin stated, “If the public didn’t care, I as an entertainer wouldn’t have been a success.”

I’m left feeling that if there had been a solo Screech show on TV, it wouldn’t have lasted very long.  So I’m not sure that the public really cared about Diamond’s entertainment success, or lack thereof. 

To permanently clear the cult air, by the way, Dustin Diamond is in no way related to Mike D of the Beastie Boys.  I bet it was Dustin who started that cult classic anyway.

Friends Fear for Slimming Katie, I Mean Kate, Holmes

by

tom-cruise-katie-holmes-2.jpgActress Katie, I mean Kate, Holmes has astonished & worried her friends by shedding 28 pounds since giving birth to her daughter Suri on April 18. 

Holmes has been sticking to her strict diet designed by Buff Brides owner Sue Fleming as well as her excessive exercise regime on top of trying to keep up with baby Suri.  Health experts have slammed the actress’ fanatical drive to slim down, saying that loosing weight should be done more leisurely.

A “friend” tells the Daily Star, “Katie has embarked on a hardcore fitness regime and does 200 sit-ups a day, combined with two hours of cardio work before pilates.

“She has eaten healthily since giving birth but now her friends are worried she has dropped two dress sizes in too short a period of time.

“She is rushing around all of the time and is on hand for the baby 24 hours a day.

“Her weight is just rapidly falling off. It can’t be good and has got to be very stressful.”

I guess now that Katie, I mean Kate, is loaded she’s anxious to get the ball rolling with Tom Cruise & get her bod back before the wedding.  But I can’t help but feel that there’s a Scientologist waving a punishing whip at Holmes until the daily physical rituals are done.

Paris Hilton Gives Brittney Spears Paparazzi Advice

by

Paris-Hilton.jpgIn a hilarious turn of events & in an irony-shaking move, Paris Hilton publicly gave Britney Spears advice yesterday on The View.   

Hilton encouraged the young pop star to try & cooperate with the paparazzi & not antagonize them (with your crotch).  The hotel heiress & general all-around, do-gooder claims she sympathizes with Spears’ plight with the media, but that the best way to handle the stick-to-you-like-glue photographers is to not get a gun, but to smile & work with them.  

Let’s let Paris explain, “(The paparazzi) annoy me, too.

“I can understand going to a press event or a premiere that’s fine, they’re there, but when they’re waiting outside your home every morning and following you around every single day it’s hard.

“I’d rather them just take pictures at events, not at my house.

“I think it’s better just to smile than when people give the middle finger or are rude to them, because that’s what they want you to do.

“They want to get a bad picture.”  (Or if you’re like me, a picture of my firecrotch).

I believe these statements by heiress Paris are shaking the very roots of irony & I wouldn’t be surprised if that old, familiar tree came tumbling down after this tenacious effort by Hilton.
