Definitely tucked

Look out, Lady Gaga!

Mario Lopez told the press last year that he was focusing on his career and would be trying to avoid having photos taken of himself with with his shirt off so frequently. Apparently, some goals are much harder to achieve than others.

And that's...okay.

Courtesy of PopBytes, the lingerie photo above is from his upcoming appearance on the new season of "Nip/Tuck", where he returns as plastic surgeon Dr. Mike. Just how does a busy "doctor" find time to stay in Victoria's Secret-shape?



By competeing in triathalons, of course.

Last week, Mario dusted off his Epilady Lady B and then competed in the 2009 Nautica Malibu Triathalon to raise money for the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles.



I admire anyone who can train hard enough to make it through one of those crazy run/bike/climb/swim competitions, so Mario has my respect and appreciation for all did to accomplish this very challenging goal.



If taking his clothes off a few hundred more times will keep him in top shape, while helping children all over the world...

Then, I really think we should all allow him to be as naked as he needs to be to accomplish those goals.

It just feels right.

Patrick Swayze

Very sad news...

Patrick Swayze, whose good looks and sympathetic performances in films such as "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" made him a romantic idol to millions, died Monday. He was 57.

Although, I did enjoy him in "Ghost" (one of my all-time favorite movies) and "Dirty Dancing", I also really liked him in "The Outsiders", "To Wong Foo: Thanks for everything! Julie Newmar", and "Red Dawn". If nothing else, his movies were usually entertaining and fun.



Nothing wrong with a legacy like that at all.

He will be missed.

Kanye Pest

I didn't see the MTV Video Music Awards last night, but all the kids were talking about it today on the Interbots. Seems that Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech so that he could tell people that he thought that Beyonce had the best video of all time.

Kanye = Asshat.

The look on Taylor's face after he leaves...she looks crushed, embarrassed and just walks off. Poor thing...

Thankfully, Beyonce allowed Taylor to come out and give her full speech, rather than doing her own for an award she had just won.

Beyonce is a class act and I'm very thankful that she didn't wear Lady Gaga's face-wreath last night.

Since the award show is broadcast internationally, word spread quickly and, when Hitler found out about what Kanye did, well...he couldn't contain himself.



I think he pretty much said it all.

I had almost forgotten that President Obmama had a similar problem with Kanye last week during his healthcare speech...



Kanye is lucky that he was already booked to be on the premiere of Jay Leno's new show tonight.

Jay Leno couldn't have planned a better ratings-windfall to get people to watch tonight.

Or did he?

Remembering...

Here come the judge

I have really missed watching new episodes of the "Ellen Degeneres Show" over the summer. So, I was very excited to see the premiere of her seventh season on Tuesday.



Besides having David Beckham on to discuss underwear, she also boogied with the top ten dancers from "So You Think You Can Dance".

And she didn't just do her usual audience shuffle....she brought it!



White girl can dance!

So, besides having my daily dose of her humor and positive vibe back on schedule, it was also announced today that Ellen would be replacing Paula Abdul as a judge on the new season of "American Idol", starting in January.

I'll let her tell you all about it (run your mouse over the image to get the "play" arrow)...



Now, after years of avoiding the Idol madness, I may actually have to start watching the show again to see how she does.

Devil!

Read it, Jesus!

Kathy Griffin's new book, "Official Book Club Selection" just came out (I got my copy from Amazon yesterday) and she's out there doing what she does best...mingling with the media.

She went on CNN to discuss the book and candidly spoke about, among other things, her crack-addicted brother who died in her mother's arms, Obama's speech to the school children, and a botched liposuction job (with a "lovely" photo).



Regarding all the people who were upset about Obama speaking to the school kids..

"I think people are stupid and crazy. And, by the way, they are going to resort to guns and religion, just as he said, and he never should have apologized for that, because it's true. Read a history book."

I. Love. Her.

This should be a very entertaining read.

School Daze

Well, the world can give a collective sigh of relief now that the President has spoken to the children. As far as I can tell, the country is still in one piece and no swastikas were flashed during the course of his "controversial" speech to kids suggesting that they should simply study, stay in school and be responsible for their lives and the lives of the people and world around them.

WHEW!

I hope that all the folks who were initially against the very idea of this speech are enjoying a nice piece of humble pie (with ice cream) today.

Ass-hats.

Labor Day

In a perfect world...

We would all have a tranquil view from our front yard, like this shot from my friend Greg's sister in Ohio.

I miss fall.

And, this would be the only kind of crime we would have to worry about on a daily basis (taken from the homepage of my Ohio hometown's Web site):

TIPP CITY— Anyone who’s missing a door mat is welcome to see if it’s included in a collection now on display at the Tipp City Police Department.

Police said Thursday, Aug. 20, that they recovered nearly 100 door mats that were found on the lawn of a house in the Hampton Woods subdivision about 10 p.m. Wednesday. Mats were taken from several homes in that subdivision, along with Spring Hill, Cotton Wood and Sycamore Woods, police said.

Residents who are missing mats are asked to come to the police department between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. at 260 S. Garber Drive, or call 667-3112. Owners will need to provide an ID for the incident report. The department will dispose of mats that are not claimed within 30 days.

If only...

K-Feed

When you are the ex-husband of Britney Spears (Kevin Federline) and receive a sizeable spousal support check from your ex-wife ($20,000 a month until death or remarriage) and don't have to work, you really have no excuse for not finding a little time during the week to get to the gym or take a nice long walk around the mansion.

So, you can imagine my surprise when I saw this recent set of photos of K-Fed on PinkIsTheNewBlog...



I have a feeling that the photographer was hired by Britney to confirm that Kevin was actually watching the children and not eating them.

Green Day

It seems that the new "Green Lantern" movie, starring Ryan Reynolds, is running into a little bit of a budget issue over in Australia...

Warner Bros. is understood to be negotiating with the [New South Wales] State Government to receive a higher level of concessions in an effort to claw back between $15 and $25 million in value eroded by the currency gains.

The value of the Australian dollar has climbed by more than 16 per cent since the State Labor government announced the deal to film at Fox Studios in mid-April. The big-budget Hollywood blockbuster was expected to create around 500 local jobs, including 100 performers and 200 crew.

If they have to cut costs, I suppose they could always give Ryan a smaller costume.

I don't think anyone would really mind.

What'cha thinkin'?

I always enjoy visiting PostSecret...





It just goes to show that you never know what people are really thinking.
