Hillary Clinton Rushed To Hospital

In a scene reminiscent to what happened to Liam Neeson's wife, Hillary Clinton fell down at her home and suffered a concussion. She then got a blood clot and was rushed to the hospital and is expected to remain there for the next several days at least and no one is commenting on her condition. She fell after returning from Europe and apparently passed out due to dehydration. It is interesting how when Natasha Richardson fell, she appeared fine, but that he symptoms progressed much faster than Hillary who suffered the fall and concussion earlier this month.

Why Madonna And Hilary Clinton Can't Make A Baby Together

When news reports came out a few months ago that Barack Obama and Dick Cheney were related I thought it would be interesting to know if there are any other unusual connections. Well it turns out there was a guy sitting in a dark room in New England for the last three years doing just that. This is culled from an AP story earlier today, but hey, they won't mind.

This could make for one odd family reunion: Barack Obama is a distant cousin of actor Brad Pitt, and Hillary Rodham Clinton is related to Pitt's girlfriend, Angelina Jolie.

Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society found some remarkable family connections for the three presidential candidates — Democratic rivals Obama and Clinton, and Republican John McCain.

Clinton, who is of French-Canadian descent on her mother's side, is also a distant cousin of singers Madonna, Celine Dion and Alanis Morissette. Obama, the son of a white woman from Kansas and a black man from Kenya, can call six U.S. presidents, including George W. Bush, his cousins. McCain is a sixth cousin of first lady Laura Bush.

Genealogist Christopher Child said that while the candidates often focus on pointing out differences between them, their ancestry shows they are more alike than they think.

"It shows that lots of different people can be related, people you wouldn't necessarily expect," Child said.

Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.

"His kinships are across the political spectrum," Child said.

Child has spent the last three years tracing the candidates' genealogy, along with senior research scholar Gary Boyd Roberts, author of the 1989 book, "Ancestors of American Presidents."

Clinton's distant cousins include beatnik author Jack Kerouac and Camilla Parker-Bowles, wife of Prince Charles of England.

McCain's ancestry was more difficult to trace because records on his relatives were not as complete as records for the families of Obama and Clinton, Child said.

Obama and President Bush are 10th cousins, once removed, linked by Samuel Hinkley of Cape Cod, who died in 1662.

Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769.

Clinton and Jolie are ninth cousins, twice removed, both related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718.

Chelsea Clinton Is Going To Get A Contract Extension

I don't know who called in what favor, but apparently Chelsea Clinton has been saved from elimination and termination from NBC and will have her 90 day contract renewed. No one saw this coming. Her reports have not been great and watching paint dry is infinitely more interesting than her reports, simply because when paint dries it leaves you to your own thoughts and with her reports there is always this buzzing sound in the back of your head. I think it is some kind of secret codes that are going out to aliens who are then given instructions on how to take over the planet. See? Paint drying means your mind can wander and then next thing you know there are conspiracy theories about aliens and secret messages coming from boring reporters on television.

NBC is expected to announce that Chelsea will have her contract renewed. Look for that Bill & Hillary Clinton one hour special on NBC real soon too.

What political power couple were once described as the "new FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt"? Yes, it's that kind of arrangement

Bill and Hillary Clinton

Ted C Blind Item

Interesting past couple of weeks: Adam Lambert pushes the sexuality envelope by tonguing a guy on national TV, and the world cries yuck. But chicks such as Britney Spears, Madonna and Tila Tequila do the same and everyone thinks it's just so dangerously sexy. Double standard, anybody? Yeah, what else is new in antigay America?

In this very same sexually and politically charged media firestorm, megaceleb Butter Pussy is charting her next career choice privately.

It's no secret folks have wondered, in varying degrees, whether Butter rides the gay or straight bus (some insist she's a regular passenger on both), and she's certainly had her own battle with goss headlines in the past regarding her sexuality.

But now Butter's decided to...

Go against what all of her friends and professional advisors have been hammering at her for years not to do:

She's decided to come out as a gay woman!

Butter is terribly encouraged by Ellen DeGeneres' success with celebrating her love for Portia de Rossi while still maintaining (hell, even increasing!) her celebrity relevance. And this is very dear to Butter's heart, even though many think the multitalent's really only been in the Biz all these years just for the bucks.

What's far trickier for Ms. P. is just what to do about the man and large extended family in her life. She's far more concerned how this announcement will affect them, not her. After all, money isn't necessarily that big of an issue anymore, but Pussy's exceedingly aware her future financial coffers might be adversely affected by this scandalous planned press conference. And that's giving her tremendous pause at the moment.

Will all the ol' reliably closeted machinery of Hollywood win out in the end—and Butter will continue to maintain her (fairly) discreet preference for the chicks?

It's a fascinating dilemma. Particularly if Butter continues her super-risky habit of feeling up well-heeled babes under the table at all those fancy dinner parties she goes to.

And It Ain't: Hillary Clinton, Fergie, Hilary Swank

Mim - Movie Review - The Proposal

Directed by the multi-talented Anne Fletcher (27 Dresses, Step Up), ‘The Proposal’ is a light-weight slice of classic rom-com, bordering at times on the absurd and even downright strange – in this case just enough to prevent the film from becoming yet another saccharine re-telling of the boy-meets-girl scenario. Like other films of this genre, it doesn’t always attempt to make too much sense of the occasional gap in the plot, nor does it trouble itself with resolving all of its character arcs or tying up all its loose ends – but there is more than enough here to satisfy, not the least of which is the sight of Ryan Reynolds almost naked (so close to FFF material Enty!)…and let’s face it, for most of us anyway, seeing Ryan in the altogether would be worth the price of admission alone.

Damn you Scarlett!!!

Playing second fiddle to Ryan (well, at least in my mind anyway…I’m only human) is Sandra Bullock, in a mostly satisfying return to form after what has seemed like an endless string of meaningful roles in meandering films, designed to showcase her as a ‘serious’ actress. Whatever Sandy! Stop boring us and stick with what you do best, okay?

It has to be said that Bullock plays a very believable hard-arse, her Margaret Tate calling upon equal parts Miss Congeniality and Hillary Clinton in her portrayal of this morally void and emotionally neutered book publisher, who finds herself about to be deported back to Canada pretty much solely through her own arrogance and belief that rules are for other people.

Reynolds plays her long-suffering assistant, aspirant editor Andrew Paxton, who soon becomes Margaret’s ticket to residency. The fact that he loathes her and she treats him like shit is of little consequence to Margaret, and Andrew finds himself blackmailed into going along with the whole charade in order to keep his job. Of course, it isn’t long before the authorities get wind of these questionable plans, and during an interview with a particularly smarmy visa official (played to perfection by Denis O’Hare), Margaret shamelessly invites herself along on a trip to Alaska that weekend for Andrew’s ‘Gammy’s’ 90th birthday…the same one she had forbidden him to attend only hours before. Bitch.

We follow Margaret and Andrew to Alaska where the fun – and confusion – really begin. I say confusion because there is a lot that doesn’t add up here and some things that are just quite simply odd about the whole outing – from the simple mechanics of the film, with some dodgy green-screen action and some terrible continuity blunders – to the vague and unresolved characterisations and situations that pop up here, leaving us either wanting more, or simply wondering why. The good part is, most of these peculiarities create some great belly-laugh material, but one wonders if this was deliberate, or simply a happy coincidence.

The reliable Mary Steenburgen plays Andrew’s mother Grace, tasked with playing straight woman to the ageless Betty While, who quite simply steals the show as Grandma Annie. Steenburgen grins inanely throughout, propped up next to White like some sort of ventriloquist doll on Prozac…in her defence, there was very little she could do to shine next to White, who turns in an outrageously off-beat performance and shows here she has lost absolutely none of her charm, charisma or acting chops, her comedic timing as perfect as ever.

White plays Grandma Annie somewhere between a sundowning nanna and a complete oddball earth mother who has quite possibly seen a few too many Alaskan summers. The scene where Bullock comes across her in the woods chanting to…well, I’m not quite sure what she was chanting to…and dancing around in a blanket tricked out like some kind of ‘Craft Corner Deathmatch’ version of a Native American ceremonial robe, is one of the highlights of the film and sure to raise a laugh, especially when Margaret happens across Gammy, and winds up shakin’ her own thing alongside her in the woods.

It takes a while for Margaret to get to that point of course…suffering the weekend with Andrew’s family is a price she’s willing to pay to get her way, but for the glacial Margaret, pretending to be in love is quite another thing. As family and friends gather for Gammy’s party at the palatial Paxton family compound in a remote (from New York at least) and stunning part of the Alaskan wilderness, Andrew and Margaret have nowhere to hide from the scrutiny of their ‘relationship’.
Andrew’s family is of course delighted to have the prodigal son and his fiancée home for this momentous weekend, but before we know it, Gammy’s birthday celebration is hijacked and the happy couple find themselves on the way to the altar in a matter of hours, as Andrew’s mother tries to patch up his fractured relationship with his father (which is never satisfyingly explored). But of course! Because this is what you do when you’ve only just found out your only son is engaged to a woman he’s been calling ‘the barracuda’ for the past three years!

Did I mention unlikely plot twists that don’t quite add up? Anyway.
Everything is played very broadly and for maximum laughs, and for the most part this shallow schtick works really well. Especially hilarious is the turn by Oscar Nunez as the slightly disturbing Ramone, “the island’s only exotic dancer” (the fact that his services are in any way in demand in this community does it no credit, believe me) and Margaret’s newly-minted stalker. Along with Betty White, Nunez provides the star comedy turn of the film, despite leaving you feeling faintly creeped out by his performance.

Bullock and Reynolds fit perfectly together as a romantic duo, each very sure of their turf and both very strong comedy leads in their own right. They play off each other confidently through both the light and dark moments of the film, which is just as well because apart from Nunez and White, their supporting cast is left floundering and indistinct – along with Steenburgen, Malin Akerman as Andrew’s ex girlfriend Gert, and Craig T Nelson as Andrew’s father Joe are both lost in the story somewhere, and you definitely get the sense that much of their story was trimmed away to draw the focus back to our two leads.

In any case, we never really figure out what their stories were meant to contribute to the film’s plot, and they’re both left dangling as afterthoughts in the larger scheme of this film.

Despite its faults, there are some great moments to this film and plenty of laughs throughout. Reynolds is sharp and funny and makes great eye candy, and Bullock is fun and capable as always. It’s not brain surgery, but like Fletcher’s ’27 Dresses’, you won’t be going to see ‘The Proposal’ expecting anything other than pure candyfloss entertainment…and in this I can promise you won’t be disappointed.

Blind Item Reveals

Back in November this was still big news, but as time has passed, some of the shock has gone from the blind item as the following is almost common knowledge at this point. I'm told the LA Times actually has been holding back on the story for whatever reasons known only to them.

#1 What Presidential candidate is sleeping with an aide?

Hillary Clinton / Huma Abedin(who is stunning by the way)

What Do You Think?

Lots of people sent me the story yesterday about Fran Drescher wanting to replace Hillary Clinton as the US Senator from New York. I replied to everyone who sent me the story saying that I just didn't know what to say. But, I thought about it overnight, and although I have something to say, I just still can't decide if it is a good idea or not. I'm not opposed to a sitcom star becoming a politician. I think most politicians are just actors anyway. So, I don't have a real issue with that. The appointment is for two years. After that there would be a special election for the remaining two years of the term.

Part of mew says that she really can't do any more damage to the system than other politicians do on a regular basis. In addition, many times the spouse of a politician is appointed for the remainder of a term when the politician dies and she probably wouldn't do any worse than them.
She says she is serious and I actually think she would do well enough to give her a chance for the two years. If she sucks, the people in NY can vote her out or she can quit. Since she left her show, she has been a tireless advocate for issues related to women's health, and I think she did some work for the State Department, but I think it was as a glorified meeter and greeter and not much more than that. I think giving her a chance would shake things up, and as long as she doesn't have a team of cameras following her so she can make a buck off it, I think it is a better idea than most. What do you think? The Nanny as a US Senator?

Massive Celebrity Hack

If you ever wanted to know what the Social Security Number of Beyonce or Jay-Z was, then today is your lucky day. A group of hackers posted lost of sensitive personal information including SSN and credit cards and mortgages and salaries and even bank information. It shows you that nothing is safe. Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton were also victims, but not as much of their information could be retrieved to show. Other celebrities "doxxed" include Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson and Ashton Kutcher. Judging by that last group of celebrities, the hackers have not looked up from their computers since the early part of this century.

April 21, 2018

This is entirely random and on the d/l, but since it involves that most public of public figures I thought I'd share. Can you imagine how strange and surreal it would be to wake up in the morning and find yourself the subject of one of his 3am hate tweets?

This just happened to someone I know (though haven't seen in a while). In her capacity as one of the most high profile of these, she has in the current era become a lightning rod for both sides. Not a week goes by when that Philadelphia-based blogger doesn't diss her - men, in particular, are basically obsessed with this person (in a sort of analogous way to that A++ list female politician). Of course, because it's him who is hating on her, DK has a sympathetic front page post. This all switches from day to day, basically.

Anyhow, back in the day (are the 90s back in the day yet?), she and I were in a fiction writing class with a certain out gay novelist who didn't much like teaching, and was known to the young men of the class for sometimes sleeping with them, and his voluminous porn collection.

I wrote this story about being a barely legal hustler in San Francisco called "the Tenderloin's Edge." It wasn't very good (largely because it wanted to be told for what it was - a true rather than fictional story). But she was the only person in the class who got what I was trying to do, and asked me questions about the experience behind it afterward. That's how we got to know each other. It's funny because she was practically a magician when it came to making people feel comfortable about answering questions/sharing. She'd go on to make a living doing that.

And she was right: I should write it in her preferred medium, non-fiction. I'm trying to get on that long running radio show - the one with the themed episodes on the not-for-profit stations - to tell this story.

Random Photos Part Three- Elton John Fundraiser

Eliza Doolittle went for it with this outfit.

Kelly Bensimon brought out her very rare fur. It's called a Bethenny.

Susan Lucci was there and has looked the same for the past fifty years.

I Like Suzanne Shaw

Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of Suzanne Shaw. Then I posted a photo of her doing some random lottery promotion, and the next thing you know she wins Dancing On Ice and Mum Of The Year. Coincidence? Hell yes. I had nothing to do with it, but it has made me pay attention when I see her name in print, and her photos as well. She is not an ugly woman.

She is however ignorant when it comes to foreign affairs. You know what. I think that is just fine. The Sun recently asked her which US Democratic Presidential candidate she preferred. Her reply?"I'm going to be honest. I've never heard either of these names before."

Who cares if she has or has not. I'm just happy to see that it is not only Americans who are ignorant about what happens outside in the rest of the world. I remember when I was in college and was blathering on and on about America, and some Australian student came up to me and asked me who the Prime Minister of Australia was and I had no f**king clue. Even after she told me his name I had no clue. The only reason I know who the Prime Minister of Australia now, is because ever since then I always check so what happened before doesn't happen again. The only reason I know the new UK Prime Minister is because I am always looking through UK newspapers and magazines and so his name pops up.

I am a little surprised she didn't know the name Hillary Clinton just because she was the First Lady for 8 years, but again, that was 8 years ago, and Suzanne Shaw was probably just a teenager. I say probably, because I am too lazy to go back and see how old she is. I think she must be about 24 or 25.

Anyway, I admire her for being honest and saying she didn't know who either of them were as opposed to trying to bluff her way through it. Pay attention PR person for Kristin Davis. That is valuable advice.

Monica Lewinsky Is Getting $12M To Write About Bill Clinton

It appears the rumors of a Monica Lewinsky tell all book are true. The former White House intern is set to earn about $12M to write a tell all which will include details details details of their nine sexual encounters and all of the letters she wrote to him. Yes, you read that correctly. The letters she wrote him, not ones from him. You and I could sit down right now and write a letter. So, are these unsent? Do any ask where the nearest dry cleaner is to the White House? Apparently Bill Clinton loves threesomes so she will write about that. Monica also plans to write about how he hated Hillary and how Bill thought Hillary was having sex outside the marriage too.
