Why On Earth...?

When In Doubt...
... blame the black guy. Last week after Lindsay Lohan commandeered someone else's car to chase her assistant's mother down the highway, while running red lights and going 100 miles an hour, the police finally stopped her and asked who was driving. She reportedly said "I wasn't driving, the black kid was driving". She then took a sobriety test where she had to touch her nose and almost fell down.In related poetic justice, her new movie "I Know Who Killed Me" reportedly made $3.4 million this weekend, a bonafide flop. Damn, even WWE movies make more than that! She got straight up clowned. See ya in the clearance bin, beeyotch!
Weekend Notes
- Usher was supposed to get married on Saturday but the wedding was called off. His bride-to-be was pregnant and was bringing three more (presumably bad) kids into the relationship from a previous marriage. Apparently at the last minute he found out that he was young and rich and broke out with a case of Whatthehellamithinking and called the thing off. It's never too late.- Why can't I stop laughing at the picture above?
- Britney continues her fall. She fired her latest assistant (who had been there for all of two weeks) . At the infamous OK! Magazine shoot, Britney used the bathroom often (with the door open), ate fried chicken and wiped her hands on expensive designer clothes, let her dog take a dump on some clothes, then stole $16,000 thousand dollars worth of clothes at the end of the shoot. All of this was blamed on the assistant. It's terrifying that this woman is also a parent. Man, is she making Federline look good or what? All he ever did was put out a bad rap album!
- Nicole Richie got sentenced to a whopping four days in jail for a DUI in December. See, the system does work. They've handed out tougher sentences on the Judge Joe Brown show.

You've Got Mail

"I got a letter from the government the other day..."-- "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" by Public Enemy (1988)
Among a number of bills, subscription renewal cards and coupon offers, the WWE offices got another letter in the mail on Friday. According to espn.com:
I smell a hearing. The mood is about to change."In a move that significantly widens the impact of
wrestler Chris Benoit's murder-suicide case, two congressmen who opened steroid
hearings into Major League Baseball have requested that World Wrestling
Entertainment provide records pertaining to the WWE's testing policies and
practices.
In a three-page letter dated Friday,
Rep. Henry Waxman, the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform, and Tom Davis, its ranking minority member, asked WWE to
provide a series of documents intended to give the committee and its
investigation a detailed look at WWE's drug-testing policy, including
information about the results of performance-enhancing drug tests on pro
wrestlers."

Denial
Bad Times
In the aftermath of the Benoit tragedies, the news seems to keep going downhill for the world's biggest wrestling organization:Wednesday, July 25, 2007
More Trouble
In addition, she was reportedly trying to sell photos to tmz.com for $30,000. Apparently an advisor is keeping her money away from her (good move) so she was trying to raise some money (I wonder for what?). Your girl is a straight up fiend. It wouldn't surprise me if next week she was caught trying to sell a VCR to someone at 2AM for ten bucks. And with all of this going on, I'm sure her new movie is going to do well this weekend. The movie company must be thrilled.

Say It Ain't So, Fire!
The Crazy Train Rolls On

And What Have We Here?

It's the one and only Firecrotch back in top form this past weekend at the beach. The alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet that no one is actually monitoring is high comedy. She is scheduled to be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno later tonight. She should wear this outfit just to make it more interesting. I'll try to catch it if I can stay awake that late.
Miss K
- Above is a picture of the lovely Kim Kardashian walking the red carpet last weekend. She is best known for .... ahhhhhhhhh ..... my staff is still trying to figure that one out.- If you will kindly take your eyes off of Miss Kardashian's rack and take a look at the wall behind her, you will see that she is at an event hosted by the Nicole Brown Foundation.
- According to some conspiracy theories, Nicole Brown was killed by O.J. Simpson.
- Kim Kardashian's father Robert was a lawyer on O.J. Simpson's "Dream Team".
- Thus, this is wrong on so many levels.
- And yet, for some reason(s), I still give her a pass.

Will You Rock My World?
Rock of Love: Week Two. The verdict? Phenominal. This week's show centered around Erin (above) and the efforts of the rest of the girls to get her booted from the house. She may or may not have a fiance back home; she denied it, but she probably does. At the very least, we know she has a brass pole waiting back home. The rest of the girls were cracking on her oversized implants and couldn't wait to get her ousted. Jealousy! Erin got a good crack on one of the girls by saying the girl was good looking-- in the meth world. Nice! This show takes me back to the 80's and high school. In fact, one of the girls even declared that her and her friends were the varsity group and the other girls were the j.v. squad.The only problem that I have with the show is that I can't tell most of these yamps apart. I can distinguish about four girls: Erin (the one with the biggest boobs), the black girl, the personal trainer lady, and the hideous one with the tattoos. The rest are pretty much interchangeable. Still, they are hanging in there with their Flavor of Love counterparts for pure entertainment and trashiness. And really, that's all that matters.

Hogan Knows Best Season Premiere
From the good folks at VH-1, it's another season of Hogan Knows Best, the reality show starring the number one wrestling star from my childhood, Hulk Hogan. Since ratings and interest were down last season, this year the writers came up with a plot where Hogan and his wife are supposed to be talking divorce. Of course, it's all contrived, so who cares. The season premiere was a tough show to sit through. After teasing the divorce angle, throughout the show Hogan and his wife kept talking about getting it on, which sent me running to dry heave in the toilet bowl like a teenage girl who had just drank too much Hennessey. As if that visual wasn't enough, they also showed Hogan on the toilet dropping a duece.The kids were barely in this episode; it was mostly Hogan, his wife, and her enormous rack, which started to look like two Ball Park Franks from those old TV commercials. They went to see a marriage counselor, then they decided to have a "Wish Day" where one would grant the other three wishes with no argument. On Hulk's day, he chose for his wife to shave his back. I wish I were making this up. Then some more foolishness happened, blah blah blah, and it ended up with Hogan reading a poem and some tears were shed. I can't believe that I once cheered for this man to beat Randy Savage. My love/hate relationship with Hogan continues.....
Oh My Damn!
Here is a picture of season two Flavor of Love winner "Deelishis" from last week. I think it would be an appropriate time to quote the great 21st century philosophical poet Cornell Haynes Jr. ( a.k.a. Nelly), who once posed the thought-provoking question: "Is that ya ass or did your mama have reindeer?"

Publishing News
Kim Kardashian, best known for, well, uh, best known for, hmmmmmm, best known for making Hollywood Nation's Top 10 Hottest Women in the World List, just did a shoot for Playboy, according to E!'s Daily 10 show. While no one at the staff of Hollywood Nation can figure out just exactly what she's famous for, nonetheless we are still very excited and looking forward to the issue. Congrats, Kim!
Britney's Day At The Beach
Is there anything really surprising about Britney anymore? Does it really surprise anyone that on a whim she decided to pull over to the side of the road, strip down to her underwear, and jump in the ocean right in front of a crowd of photographers? In the "Ooops, I Did It Again" days, this might have led the NBC Evening News. Now it's just commonplace and sad. Even Mariah is sitting there chewing on some sunflower seeds while seeing this nonsense and saying "My God, this tramp is nuts".
John Kronus of the Eliminators Found Dead
"John Kronus (right), best known as half of The Eliminators tag team from Extreme Championship Wrestling (now owned by WWE), was found dead in his girlfriend's apartment late yesterday. A source tells TMZ that New Hampshire officials are treating this as a "suspicious death," and an autopsy has been ordered."

The Results Are Back
The toxicology reports came back yesterday for Chris Benoit and according to cnn.com, they found testosterone, painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs in his system. Last night on CNN's Nancy Grace Show, WWE officials spent their time claiming that testosterone is not steroids, which according to other experts is not true. On top of that, after the WWE reps (their lawyer and the doctor who administers the drug tests) had their say, they wouldn't appear with the rest of the panel which included Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Bryan Alvarez of Figure Four Weekly, Konnan and Marc Mero. It may not have been their intention, but it sure appeared that they were running like dogs. Something to hide?Here are three key points that keep sticking out in my mind:
1) As Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch said in one of his updates, WWE's main focus seems to be distancing the Benoit situation from steroids. They do it so much that it's almost to the point that it comes off like they are the lawyer for steroids.
2) As stated in last week's Wrestling Observer, when is WWE going to come out and say that they don't want steroids in their company and they welcome and embrace any kind of regulation that can help them get rid of the drugs and curtail the tragedies? Don't hold your breath for that one.
3) I don't understand the WWE wrestlers who attack guys like Mero and the wrestling journalists for "hating wrestling" and such nonsense. Hey, I like wrestling as much as anyone. But you would have to be an absolute fool not to see that there is a problem. Obviously, self-regulation is not working; it's time for Plan B. The death rate among the wrestlers that I grew up watching when I was a teenager is staggering. It's way past time to make the needed changes to stop these folks from dropping like flies. And since WWE takes up 95% of the industry, why not start there?

Going Back To Khali
The Great Khali was crowned as the new World Champion tonight in Laredo, Texas after winning a 20-Man Battle Royal at the WWE Smackdown tapings. Something tells me that we are on the verge of some very thrilling title matches.Khali's victory came about because Edge had to vacate the title after suffering a torn pec during his brawl with Kane on last week's Smackdown. He will be out for an undisclosed amount of time. The staff of Hollywood Nation wishes him a speedy recovery.

Results from TNA's Victory Road 2007

VH-1 Does It Again

Just as VH-1 wrapped up its seasons of Celebrity Fit Club and Flavor of Love: Charm School, they didn't miss a step as they not only brought back the phenominal World Series of Pop Culture, but also debuted two new shows on Sunday night-- Scott Baio Is 45 and Single, along with Rock of Love, the latest Flavor of Love spin-off.
Scott Baio is 45 and Single focuses on 70s & 80s TV icon Scott Baio. I didn't care for him as Chachi in Happy Days, but I loved Charles In Charge. I thought him and Lembeck were great. Anyway, this show focuses on Charles' attempt to find a meaningful relationship. He gets a life coach who makes him stop seeing his girlfriend for two months. Then he has to track down old girlfriends to see why they broke up. We also get to see contrived scenes of him hanging out with the lamest posse of all-time, which consists of two goofs that he grew up with and the older brother from the Wonder Years, who I've always hated since he dated my favorite wrestling diva Missy Hyatt in the early 90's. He also serves as co-executive producer of the show. For the record, the other executive producer is Eric Bischoff, who was previously best known for running World Championship Wrestling-- into the ground. Which doesn't bode well for this series. Actually the show was kind of funny in some spots and does offer some nostalgia, such as seeing Joanie from Happy Days at an autograph signing. Next week we get to see Mike's girlfriend from Growing Pains. I don't think Pam Anderson will agree to a cameo. Regardless, I think I'm on board for the duration.
This was followed by the highly anticipated Rock of Love, basically the white version of Flavor of Love, starring Poison frontman Bret Michaels. It was everything that I expected and more. They took 25 broads straight out of an 80's rock video and put them in a house with Michaels so that he could find his "true love". Yeah, right. In a hilarious moment, the bodyguard cut five ladies right away before they even entered the house. Well, he actually only cut four because one of them wouldn't take "no" for an answer and humiliated herself by begging to come back (even offering to sleep on the floor). S he later embarrassed herself even further by being the first one drunk and hitting the stripper pole. The rest of the show was filled with drinking, picture taking, boob job comparisons, one-on-ones (where Michaels found out that most of the girls were ditzy) and such quotes as "being a slut is soooooo last year". At the elimination ceremony, instead of clocks, he gave out backstage passes. He even kept the drunk reject girl (probably because she will cause the most drama). The Flavor of Love franchise continues to roll on...

A Brooke Hogan Sighting
Brooke Hogan appeared on MTV's Wild N Out last night (without Daddy by her side for once). Miraculously, she made it the whole show without anyone pointing out her poor record sales or that she looks just like her Dad. At one point, she did a Hogan imitation and let's just say she has nothing on me. Anyway, it was a fun appearance: she got to do some improv, she wore a tight skirt, and she made a couple of dirty jokes, so it was all good. Also yesterday, in the grand tradition of the Debbie Gibson/Tiffany era, she announced some dates for a mall tour. What I wouldn't do to go to a Brooke Hogan mall concert. Comedy Gold. GOLD:July 13th, Ocean County Mall in Tom's River, NJ.
July 21st, Emerald Square Mall in N. Attleborough, MA
July 27th, Montgomery Mall in North Wales, PA.
August 10th, Town Center at Cobb in Atlanta, GA
August 19th, Orland Square Mall in Orland Park, Il.
August 25th, Northgate Mall in Seattle, WA.
August 26th, Tacoma Mall in Tacoma, WA.
September 2nd, Laguna Hills Mall in Laguna Hills, CA.

Quote of the Week:“I’m just glad Larry King was professional enough to have people that are actually involved in the WWE on his program"-- John Cena on Monday, taking a shot at the cable news shows covering the Chris Benoit situation. In actuality WWE (except for their lawyer) has refused all media requests since June 28th.

The Reviews Are In.....

"Mariah Carey just finished filming "Tennessee," her follow-up to the execrable "Glitter," and co-wrote a song with Willie Nelson for the soundtrack. Word from the set is she's "really, really good" in it - "It might be the cinema equivalent to the Red Sox winning the World Series" we're told."

Go Shawty, It's Your Birthday
Belated Happy Birthday to your girl Lindsay Lohan, who celebrated her 21st birthday earlier this week. Because she is still in rehab, she didn't have that lavish Las Vegas club party which was going to be sponsored by a vodka company. Instead she opted for this lowkey affair (above) at a beach house with some broad wearing a jocking "I Love Me Some Lohan" t-shirt. Quite a trade-off.

Dreadful

Trouble Already?

- SCARY is winding up all the others up with her weird behaviour and lousy time-keeping;
- GINGER is trying to turn the reunion into a one-woman show;
- BABY is being accused by the others of not supporting them; and
- SPORTY wants to be by herself before interviews.

And The Winner Is...
Wow! The season finale of Charm School wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. Instead of the yelling, name-calling and backstabbing that we have come to know and love, we got tears, compasion, redemption, and forgiveness. In the end, Saaphyri (above, who once prayed to the Lord that she wouldn't have to beat someone's ass) had reformed the most and beat out Leilene The Stripper to win the $50,000. The show was a bit dissappointing without all of the cattiness, but rest assured, it will be back in full force for the reunion show next week, which I wouldn't miss for anything.Throughout the show they kept previewing VH-1's upcoming shows including the new season of Hogan Knows Best, which will be built around the Hogan's fake divorce talk. Probably the wrong week to show clips of a big pumped up wrestler arguing with his wife. I hope this season will address daughter Brooke's obsession with trying to get the ridiculous look below over as some sort of fashion trend. This is like the the third time she has been photographed in this travesty. Wait, is that the Mom or the daughter?
I also saw the extended preview for Rock of Love, the latest Flavor of Love spin-off. Just phenominal. It would take an army to keep me away from watching this show. It looks like we are in for a season of skank-a-licious fun. Ten dollars says that the sassy black girl gets voted off first.
