Word Life

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.

We Don't Need No Water.....

Beyonce graced my little town on Sunday night for a show at the Scottrade Center.

During the show, two fans in the front row got minor burns from some errant pyro and were taken to the hospital. In a really smart move, she actually showed up at the hospital after the concert and chatted with the two fans for 45 mintues. She also offered to fly them to a show in another city to make up for the injuries. On one hand, yeah her little visit probably avoided a major lawsuit but on the other hand, me and her were supposed to go out and split a box of catfish nuggets that night but she ran out of time. Maybe next tour.

Congratulations

Congratulations to Good Day L.A. co-host and FOX NFL Sunday weather woman Jillian Barberie, who gave birth to a baby girl last week. Two good things: 1) it's not Eddie Murphy's and 2) hey, football starts in less than two months!

Bikini Update

Here are a couple of bikini photos that popped up around the internet yesterday. First off is Hulk Hogan's giant little girl, Brooke (below) who was accused on a couple of sites of having a new set of implants. No way-- someone in the Hogan family using artificial means to enhance their appearance? It could never happen!


Then below is a shot of Mimi on a boat. Just because.

The Reviews Are In.....

According to the New York Post's Page Six gossip column:

"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."

She's really, really good in it? Wow, that must mean she takes it all off. I smell an Oscar.

Charm School Reunion

One week after the tear-filled and emotional season finale of Charm School, the skanks, er, ladies were back to mid-season form on the reunion show. It was an hour of sass, yelling, contradictions, denial, giant cans, and back-biting-- in other words, an hour of pure bliss. If only every show on TV was this entertaining. Saaphyri, the winner of the show, said that she invested her prize money into a company making Indian hair weaves. Comedy gold. The last five minutes of the show had more excitement than some shows have in 10 episodes. They brought out the lead heel, Larissa, who was sassy as ever and she confronted her former friend, the totally hot Shay. Then things happened so fast that I couldn't even keep up. I just remember key moments like when Mo'Nique rolled up on Larissa, the revelation that Larissa's Mom was an albino, and the word "sister" being exchanged approximately 271 times. Excellent. Please bring this show back for a second season.
