Joe Francis, Mini Me and Olbermann Are Getting Screwed… Jordin Sparks Not So Much.

Pajiba Love | September 9, 2008 | Comments (55)


I don’t think I actually included footage of Jordin Sparks assy little outburst at the VMAs yesterday… But by the time you click on the link you’ll probably have already forgotten who she was in the first place. (IDLYITW)

Joe Francis got fired from “Celebrity Apprentice” before the show even started. Keep reaching for the stars, you dumb asshole! (WIMB)

Olbermann, meanwhile, is getting das boot from anchoring. (QuizLaw)

For the bargain price of $9.95 you can now be the proud owner of Mini Me’s sex tape. Or, you could buy the Slipper Genie instead. You can dust your floors just by walking on them! (The Blemish)

Sarah Palin is actually going to be interviewed, as in like by a real journalist on television. Unfortunately, she’ll probably be thrown a bunch of effing softballs and come off as “favorable” as ever. (Deus Ex Malcontent)

But hey, no matter what happens, at least us lovable losers can still revel in being smarter than everyone else — despite being an endangered species. (Chronicle)

Have you ever had the urge to brush your teeth with shit? Like, literally just take some poo, rub it on your toothbrush and stick it in your mouth? (TIB)

So, apparently the 69 in “Summer of 69” wasn’t about a year at all. (Celebitchy)

My favorite self-proclaimed “ghetto” gossip blog totally scored an interview with Chelsea Handler, who is pretty much my idol. How jealous am I right now? (I’mBringingBloggingBack)

Awww! The Six Most Loyal Dogs Ever. My heart just swelled to three times its size reading this. (mental floss)

Pete Wentz out-emo’ed even the most hardcore emo doucheface by playing actual Russian Roulette. Thanks for nothing, one-in-six(?) odds! (Yeeeah!)

Do men really need a reminder when us lady types are getting to our time of the month? I thought that’s what the yellow eyes and devil horns were for. (PMSBuddy)

The AV Club interviews Alan Ball, creator of the new series “True Blood” as well as our much beloved “Six Feet Under.” (AV Club)

Posh Spice is heading up the campaign to make the pixie cut hot again, and for this I thank her. (Evil Beet)

Did you guys know that Season 3 of “It’s Always Sunny” totally comes out today? You know my ass is hitting up Best Buy at lunch. Let’s celebrate with Day Man:

Of COURSE Posh is bringing back the Pixie cut after I made the executive decision to grow my flowing red locks back out. Goddamnit, now I have to choose whether I want to cut all my hair off again and look like a 12 year old boy with a nice ass from behind, or go through with the awkward growing out stage.

I hate everything today.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at September 9, 2008 12:18 PM

Who said short hair was out? Get me a crowbar and tell me who they ARE.

And I better not hear any "I grew my hair out because it wasn't fashionable anymore" from ANYBODY.

Cause I'll cry at you.

Real hard.

Posted by: Jay at September 9, 2008 12:28 PM

If you have a nice grown-up lady ass, Genny, then I suspect guys are paying less attention to your hair than you think. On the other hand, if it's a nice 12-year old boy ass then stay the course with the flowing red locks...rowr.

Posted by: Che Grovera at September 9, 2008 12:30 PM

Great, I FINALLY get Day Man out of my head and you go putting it back in there! The best part is the end of the episode when they are wearing the David Bowie Ziggy Stardust costumes.

Posted by: blakemas at September 9, 2008 12:31 PM

I would totally watch "Who Wants To Tase Joe Francis".

You should put a "will make you cry at work" warning on that loyal dogs one, by the way... although maybe it's just me. I'm like a big girl about things like that. Gets me every single time.

PMSBuddy, while a cute idea, seems kind of unnecessary, as all the guys in my life are fully aware when my Aunt Flo is on her way into town. Actually, sometimes they know before I do. I can tell from the hiding and the running in fear.

'softballs' like the kind lobbed Obama's way over the last 9 months?

i like poking fun at the right-wingers as muc has the next guy, but let's give the girl a chance first...

Posted by: Dariuss at September 9, 2008 12:38 PM

Adams admitted that the song was about sex, .... It uses 69 as a sexual reference."


Actually, it was pretty obvious...unless you are a moron, who just now realizes it...yeah..

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 9, 2008 12:38 PM

Jay as much as I respect you, if you make ANYONE cut off flowing red locks, I'm gonna have to introduce you to my stabbin' knife. As for any other locks, cut it all off and let God sort out the rest. But for the love of all that is good, keep the long red hair.
Now back up, Red! I gotta practice my stabbin'! Hatchchacha! Ha! Ha!

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at September 9, 2008 12:49 PM

Dear Jordin Sparks,

You peaked when you performed at the Super Bowl, just like Whitney Huston. I suggest you take a page out of her book and binge on coke, marry an abusive singer, and get the fuck out of the American public's face.

Hugs and kisses, Mike R.

P.S. Promise rings are total bullshit. Just ask Jessica Simpson.

Posted by: Mike R. at September 9, 2008 12:56 PM

Jay, is it alright if I say I'm growing my hair out because short hair is annoying the hell out of me? Because that's why I'm doing it.

And I'm doing this to protect you from the apparent wrath of Optimus Rhyme. Did not realize that people had such strong opinions about hair.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at September 9, 2008 12:57 PM

I beat Posh to it about a month ago, so she can kiss my ass.

I don't give a shit if they let Olbermann be an anchor or not, as long as he can do his thing on Countdown, and do commentaries on the election. I think it's a riot how the "liberal" newsfolk are constantly being chided, demoted, fired, etc. while Fox news gets a free ride. I'm just waiting for the debates so I can see McCain blow his lid on national television.

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2008 1:01 PM

Did anyone check out Rachel Maddow last night? I think she's better than Olbermann.

Posted by: megbon at September 9, 2008 1:03 PM

FIGGGGHHHHHTTT! I wanna see Stacey vs. Seth IMMEDIATELY. But we have to make it appealing. I think it should be a lingerie wrestling match. Not to see Stacey in some revealing undies, though that would be awesome to the nth degree...but moreso because I have a bet with Julie that the TV Whore wears a ginger-colored merkin.

Posted by: PissBoy at September 9, 2008 1:05 PM

Oooooo!!! Seth hates Chelsea Handler.

Stacey idolizes her. interesting....

Sorry, but I have to call bullshit on this Bryan Adams business. The song is pretty straightforward nostalgic rock. I was in high school in Canada when this song was released, and Bryan Adams was about as uncomplicated as Canadian music got. His stuff was very clean-cut, middle of the road, and inoffensive. Most of his lyrics were pretty simple, and there's no way 69 was meant as a double entendre outside of maybe a few "heh-heh-69" giggles while recording it. At that time there were lots of people writing songs about the 60s and about growing up (e.g. Mellencamp, Springsteen), and Adams was just joining in. Even his co-writer says it was about being young and playing in a band, and that it was inspired by "Running On Empty" and the film "Summer of '42".

Since his popularity faded, Adams has made several attempts to downplay his early small-town-boy image and appear edgier. It's always come off as trying too hard. He's just trying to retroactively add a subtext that was most likely barely there, if at all.

The argument that the song can't be autobiographical because he would have been 10 in 1969 is just idiotic. It's a semi-autobiographical song that they chose to set in the 1969, because that's a more evocative time for it. I mean, I'm pretty sure Bruce Springsteen never went to Vietnam, never worked on the Border Patrol, and never had a wife and kids in Baltimore (Jack!).

I certainly hope that first-person songs don't all have to be true -- otherwise, Nick Cave has a lot of explaining to do.

Posted by: kushiro at September 9, 2008 1:11 PM

PissBoy, I just Google image searched "merkin," and now I hate you.

Posted by: Julie at September 9, 2008 1:12 PM

I had a sex dream about Christian Slater! Blech. I blame that creepy ad picture there on the right.

Posted by: Loob at September 9, 2008 1:17 PM

Posted by: megbon at September 9, 2008 1:03 PM

Rachel Maddow ROCKED last night! Eat that, Sarah wing-girl Palin.

And just when Pat Buchanan was starting to lull me into complacency with his entirely reasonable observations during the conventions, he snapped back into tight-ass character opposite Rachel last night. I loved how she held her own against him when he started ranting without losing her cool. She has my vote as the new voice of liberal reason!

Posted by: Che Grovera at September 9, 2008 1:17 PM

Actually, the original title for for Summer of '69 was "Fall of the Cleveland Steamer" but for obvious reasons (Cleveland just doesn't sell) it was scrapped for the more commercial "'69" title.

True Story

For me, not possible. I don't want to fuck Rachel. Keith has the wit and that oddly metrosexual-yet-hot appeal.

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2008 1:22 PM

Jay, is it alright if I say I'm growing my hair out because short hair is annoying the hell out of me? Because that's why I'm doing it.

If your short hair was not cowed into growing, then yes...I'll accept that. You had to throw in that "short hair" was previously paired with, I believe you called it, "nice ass", and that was a rabbit punch, lemme tell you.

BUT....I am magnanimous, and I will accept your explanation. Some tears may still fall. Of course, Optimus and I don't have to be enemies, just complementary defenders. I'm not going to order Amy Adams' hair assassinated, but I might have to stop him if he went yanking on someone's roots.

Posted by: Jay at September 9, 2008 1:24 PM

Oh that herbal toothpaste looks disgusting! I would never know how it tastes, since I could never get past the appearance. I thought the little dog poo piles of toothpaste were funny, though.

Loved the loyal dog stories. I'm glad I'm home today so no one heard my sniffing or saw my eyes tear up.

Posh looks good with the pixie. I had one when I was in 2nd grade. I looked so bad with it that I didn't cut my hair again for ten years. Of course, it was during the 1970's when every girl my age had long straight hair parted in the middle. I call it the Marcia Brady look.

Posted by: rlr260 at September 9, 2008 1:42 PM

Bryan Adams was only ten in 1969? Jesus, he's younger than my mother. How the hell does he pull off classic rock?

Posted by: the_wakeful at September 9, 2008 1:42 PM

You know I really hope if everything bad ever happens to me, my dogs just latch onto the first kind human who comes along and have a happy life. My corpse will be fine.

Also, I have to say it's sad that anyone would look to Victoria Beckham as a guide on how to dress or wear ones hair. I prefer my style icons to have a glimmer of intelligence in their eyes.

Posted by: PaddyDog at September 9, 2008 1:45 PM

But Jay, some of us can't sport short hair. I'd look like I was in junior high. As it is now, most people are flabbergasted when they find out how old I am and usually think I'm lying. I sometimes get carded at R-rated movies, and I'll be 31 in a little over two months. When my hair is short, it's even worse. Besides, it's naturally curly and a very coppery sort of red, and if I didn't straighten it every day I'd just get called Little Orphan Annie. The hell if I'll ever straighten my hair every day. That smells like work to me.

Posted by: Sarina at September 9, 2008 1:46 PM

Dogs are awesome, I know I put their life before any of you hipster douchebags. Also, I keep my Retriever and my Shepherd nice and healthy in case the food supplies are affected during the coming war.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at September 9, 2008 1:50 PM

Dear Victoria "Posh Spice" Adams-Beckham,

I secretly adore you. You will wear the craziest thing and somehow pull it off. You are very likely certifiable. However, I really need to stop trying to convince people that you have some talent other than the ability to stab a person with your clavicle. Just go back to wearing the bucket o'crazy and leave the side projects to other people.

Thanks!

Melody

Dammit, I also got all weepy here at my desk because of those dog stories, and I don't even own a dog. I just love a good tale.

I doubt my cat would even look up from my rotting carcass while she ate me if I happened to die next to her... except maybe to bitch me out for not leaving a bowl of food available.

Posted by: Becky Tri-Tip Goddess at September 9, 2008 2:09 PM

I don't really care what Summer of 69 was about. I just wish it had never been written.

Posted by: megbon at September 9, 2008 2:26 PM

Posh was born to wear that haircut. Stunning, stunning, stunning.

Posted by: samantha t at September 9, 2008 2:42 PM

FYI: "Always Sunny" Season Three is on sale for $27.99 at the Best Buy. I was not paid for this endorsement.

Oh yeah, I didn't necessarily mean that short hair was out, I'm just saying that Posh is going to make it hot again. Like back when Jennie Garth had a pixie cut on the original "90210" and it was the "it" hairstyle. Personally, I've been rocking short hair for almost two years now, so you don't have to tell me.

One final note: I absolutely accept PissBoy's challenge to fight Seth. Hear me, TV WHORE?! It is so on.

Posted by: Stacey at September 9, 2008 3:26 PM

Please tell me that that PMSbuddy web site is a joke! Oh my lord.

More clues for the detective.

I am Sagittarian after all.

Also:
Friends...I just had to defend my pick of Diane Lane on the new cover of "Glamour". One of those "sexy at any age" (between 20 and 45), with her next to Rachel Bilson and Ali Larter. No one ugly in the bunch, certainly, but my female coworkers were very confused by my logic.

Posted by: Jay at September 9, 2008 4:33 PM

"More clues for the detective."

Am I a mystery now?

Posted by: Sarina at September 9, 2008 4:58 PM

When have you not been?

All we really know is "short in Minnesota". While you've given your last name you've given very little else away, in converse to some of your other peers, all in a smokescreen of gastro-anomalies to throw one off the trail.

You're good.

Posted by: Jay at September 9, 2008 5:17 PM

Alright, Pajibans...

I don't whore myself out here, but when I do, it's for a good cause.

I've written something for those of us who may be finding the current state of political stasis in the polls slightly... depressing.

Posted by: Maryscott O'Connor at September 9, 2008 5:35 PM

OFTEN. I meant to say, "I don't whore myself out here OFTEN."

Posted by: Maryscott O'Connor at September 9, 2008 5:36 PM

"While you've given your last name you've given very little else away"

Well, I don't try to be mysterious. People do seem to find me a bit withdrawn though, which puzzles me since I feel like I talk about myself all the time. If the world were a television network and I were in charge of programming, we'd be running The Sarah Show 24/7 and there would be very few guest stars. It's all about ME, underlings.

Okay, so not really. But I wasn't kidding when I said it confuses me that anyone could think I'm some sort of secretive mystery. Is it because I usually just talk about stuff I don't believe in? I can't help that... some people have a lot of love to give, and I have a lot of hate.

Che, I believe Jay was referring to the inordinate amount of time I dedicate to talking about the foods in which I do not believe.

Posted by: Sarina at September 9, 2008 5:56 PM

Exactly! We only know what you are NOT and DON'T look like and WON'T eat. It's like that stealth ship in Artemis Fowl, you have to find the Sarina-shaped hole in the air. Very intriguing.

Che, she's got some unconventional tastes in what she eats.

I've had a strange crush on Rachel Maddow since I saw her fill in on MSNBC a few weeks ago. I can't explain it.

Posted by: schrome at September 9, 2008 6:11 PM

"It's like that stealth ship in Artemis Fowl, you have to find the Sarina-shaped hole in the air."

Oh, dear. Now I feel all this pressure to never reveal anything except through, like, negative imagery so that I can become an elaborate and enigmatic puzzle which will only be solved through an intricate and drawn-out process of elimination.

I hope no one solves the puzzle. I think they'd be kinda let down. I'm not really all that exciting.

Posted by: Che Grovera at September 9, 2008 6:23 PM

Last week my dog was up all night flitting from one spot to another, whining, looking out the window or wanting to go outside. Once outside he would sit and stare at the neighbor's house whining. He did that 4 times between midnight and 5am. I found out the next day that my neighbor (an old dude that watches my dog for us sometimes) had fallen earlier in the day and cracked a couple of ribs. His wife was out of town and his son brought him home from the hospital at midnight.

I love dogs.

"Yellow eyes and devil horns ..."

I once was forced to endure a roomful of my wimmenfolk relatives prattling on about their timing. "Oh," my sister said, "sometimes I don't even remembered when my period is! Tee-hee!"

I waited a beat, then said: "If I knew that once a month some guy was going to come around and kick me in the balls, I'd sure as hell remember which day it was."

Jordin looks like she's gushing with virgin power while the dude next to her (name?) looks like he wants to be anywhere but standing next to this towering pillar of woman. Truth? She makes that dress look fat...sorry...I SO had to go there.

Posted by: Cindy at September 9, 2008 10:40 PM

She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site """" W e a l t h y D a t e r . c o m"""""" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now? ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Posted by: Jamie at September 9, 2008 10:52 PM

Oh, and Jordin Sparks? Shut the fuck up. K thnx.

Bryan Adams has been whoring that 'Summer of 69' story for years now. Why is it still news? As for the PMS Buddy, the signal zit and muffin-top are entirely enough warning for any reasonable person. Anyone who's lazy and internet-addicted enough to turn their entire life into a game of 'Google Says' deserves to get ambushed by a hormonal girlfriend with a chainsaw.
