It's a wonder any of Danny Devito's private brand of limoncello ever makes it to market.

Paris Hilton back on the loose. Note to self: Buy stock in Valtrex. Or at least stock up on Valtrex.

Limiting Madonna concerts to days that aren't Catholic Holy Days of Obligation sure narrows that window a lot.

Which is more pervy?
David Carradine's state of dress/undress at time of death, or, Shia LeBoof's creepy comments about his mother.

I vote LeBoof is more pervy.

A wigless Phil Spector appears in this mug shot

He actually paid good money for his wig? He wuz robbed!


Carrie Prejean says she was fired for refusing Playboy... offer[]


Rumor: David Carradine died in drag.

Remember the expression, "I wouldn't be caught dead..."? Good advice on what NOT to do, especially the older one gets (so the likelier it is to occur).


Rumor: Vera Wang joining next season of "Dancing with the Stars?"

Hope they'll let her design her own costumes. Heck, I hope they let her design all the dancers' costumes, and Samantha's too.

Here's a research project I imagine some Lizards would be willing to conduct: See if every Miss USA (back to what year?) has posed in that magazine. I realize this would be a huge sacrifice...

And this in the Carrie Prejean article: "...those mean old pageant officials just tried to make... appear on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get me Out of Here" with Spencer and Heidi Pratt!

OK, Lizards, who do you feel sorrier for? Prejean having to appear with Heincer, or vice versa? I vote for Heincer, though it's a close call. In either any event, Owe the humanity!

"Myleene Klass accidentally glues herself to bed" beats anything I've got.


Brad Pitt cardboard cutouts seem to stop everyone but Jennifer Aniston from speeding. She just runs the f*****s down.


"Preschool parents annoyed at paparazzi tracking celeb kids." Ahh, the good old days, when it was just the regular perverts hanging out...

Dear Shia -
Please, please shut up!

Does anyone have brain bleach handy?

Weeds has been having a running gag involving auto-erotic asphyxiation. I guess they missed the boat on getting David Carradine as a guest star.

Too soon?

Phil Spector without his wig looks like Iggy Pop.

Hey, Polish Catholics! It won't work. Trust me, I've tried. Just be thankful she's not going to sing "La Isla Bonita" (or anything else, for that matter) in Polish.

Hank Azaria "enjoys talking to his son in utero using 'many voices' and playing The Beatles." Way to damage that kid early, Agador Spartacus.

Did Mike Tyson bite Michael Jackson's ear?

OK, the stalking of Jon Gosselin has to stop. It's bad enough that the video is focusing on his bald spot, but leave the guy alone already and let him eat.

First, Vera Wang, then Bob Mackie, and before you know it it's Christian Siriano, and then everyone says that DWTS jumped the shark and is mystified as to how it went downhill so fast. Watch what happens.

Carrie Prejean must have never learned about the old addage "if you play with fire, you get burned." The Donald may be a lot of things, but he ain't dumb. He already "gave her a second chance," as it were.

But we all know how this worked out. Miss Prejean started going on the TV all the time, and getting gigs as spokes-bimbo for groups that don't believe in the 14th amendment to the constitution, and getting too big for her britches.

The Donald claims to have 30 obligations missed on her part, and I can all but guarantee you that he's got everye single one of them documented and notarized. She wants to come out and say she got canned because the creepy mean old rich man wanted her to do things that were against her traditional middle-america values, and I highly suggest she file a wrongful termination lawsuit, because I'd love to see what The Donald pulls on her, it would be hilarious.

Liz, thanks to your Cameron Diaz comment I found what might be my favorite celeb headline of the day

"Victoria Beckham gets her money's worth as she spends a WHOLE day in one outfit."

George Michael joined Beyonce on stage to sing "If I Were a Boy."

--- He managed to sing the entire song convincingly without a hint of irony.

---The audience cheered when he backed up her vocals with a hand-held metal detector.

---Beyonce was grateful that the Scarecrow had finally shown up with the oilcan.

I can see why The Donald might be upset about Prejean's refusing Playboy offer, but her refusal of "I'm a Celebrity..." was just truth in advertising.

Shame on the hotel staff for helping to get Mylenee unglued from the bed. that could have really boosted the ratings for the reality show.

I thought it said "a witless Phil Spector", then I realized that would not be news.

Shia, TMI.

Still trying to get legal sanction for my plan to handcuff Jessica Alba.

Posted by: reddragon1 | June 11, 2009 11:08 AM | Report abuse

Just had a thought. Maybe the OKC police could adopt the Omsk PD SOP and modify it. Instead of cutouts of Brad Pitt, they could put up cutouts of Jessica Alba to slow down speeders. But not put her is a police uniform.

Course it would make my job of finding and subduing the real Jessica that much harder...

I would think that "Like a Virgin" would be quite appropriate. What's the big deal?

Posted by: bobsewell | June 11, 2009 11:25 AM | Report abuse

Myleene Klass gets points for coming up with a creative explanation for what is obviously an auto-erotic adventure gone badly awry. If only we had gotten to hear David Carradine's excuse for the fishnets.

Hey, I was told it was never too soon.

"Krzysztof Zagozda, of the Catholic Society organization, said the concert would hurt Poles' religious sentiment as Madonna's performances are anti-Christian."

Either Polish "religious sentiment" isn't that strong or Madonna is even more powerful than Karl Marx and Vladmir Lenin.

Today's Morning Mix is like an "Ick, Nast" hall of fame:

Phil Spector's mug, Michael Jackson's ear, Bret Michael's face, a drunken Danny DeVito, a sticky reality game show host, and David Carridine in drag....

I think Liz has set some sort of record today.

Posted by: mdreader01 | June 11, 2009 12:09 PM | Report abuse

Oh my where to start. Late today because temporarily in CA for a family graduation.

Shia, stop, please for the love of anything you hold sacred, stop.

Could have done without that pic of Spector. Sadly, the weird wig IS an improvement.

Is Danny DeVito ever sober for an interview. Of course, if I were married to Rhea Perlman, I would be drunk all the time to block that fact out.

Hugh Grant, liked the baked beans approach better.

Posted by: epjd | June 11, 2009 12:26 PM | Report abuse

Um, Shia? That's not R-rated. That's either incest or felony child abuse, can't decide which, but I'm sure the authorities could.

I hope that item about Beyonce is a rumor. That's beyond diva-dom.

OK, the whole David Carradine thing is careening wildly into serious Ick Nast territory. Although I'm still most grossed out by the incestuous relationship he was having (according to one wife's divorce papers).

Carrie Prejean won't know what is "political" even if she pulls her head out of her behind. BTW, when is she going to give back her tiara and fake boobs?

Could be contract law. It would come down to a fight over the interpretation of what constitutes good cause for firing. And whether the runner-up baking brownies constituted undue influence on the Donald.

mdreader called it--today's blog calls for serious doses of brain bleach all the way around.

I'm still just mystified at how parading around in a bikini with a fake rack reflects good ole middle american values.

Shia. I have no words. But I'll happily throw the strike that drops you into a huge vat of brain bleach if it will wipe all further such comments from your mind.

ep, where you at?

I'd actually be really grateful if they would just stop reporting on Carradine and let everyone remember him as he was. Saw his guest spot on "Mental" the other night and had a hard time concentrating on the story with serious ick nast imagery popping up in my brain. I'm going to have to wait till it fades before I do my next Kill Bill-athon, as I don't want to ruin those movies forever.

I imagine no one held a gun to Carradine forcing him to don that get-up, unless he paid them to, of course. No sympathy here.

i want to give a hat tip to rihanna and her agreeing to testify against the violent doof. it's a hard thing to do and she should be commended. it sets a very good example for all. and if he doesn't try to work out a plea bargain in view of her coming in to testify, then he and his lawyers are idiots. my money is on a plea agreement. the presence of a strong witness can be very convincing.
