When you find yourself with five minutes to spare,please do an ambitious, relatively young producer a favor and check out my short video on YouTube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcvWfx27Xoc
Yes, it's goofy, but it's fun, so we're planning toturn this into a web series and hope to have the nextepisode on the net in 4 or 5 weeks. If you don't hate it, please show some love, spread it around. Not that it needs the promotion, it's already the topic of feverish buzz around Hollywood. And after you've seen the vid, if you're a MySpacemember (let's be friends!), come on by and check out our new page, devoted to this web series and a host of other goofy videos (coming soon), blogs, and more. http://www.myspace.com/selfmademonkeys Thanks in advance for your support. And remember,with a lot of hard work, and a little luck, you too can be a self-made monkey.

Our line of hand-crocheted swimwear and cover-ups is designed by Anna Kosturova in her Vancouver, Canada studio and produced in the Philippines by a family of generations of crochet artisans whom Anna has known personally for many years.
About the collection…
Anna’s designs inhabit the fantasies of sun-soaked glamour that outlast trends and celebrate fun.
Each year her collection offers new interpretations of a variety of themes, including nautical styles; daintier, more girly styles and drop-dead goddess looks. The emphasis is always on color, shape and details, whether she is inventing elaborate new crochet stitches or embroidery, beadwork and appliqués. As a mechanical engineering graduate specializing in textiles, Anna loves pushing the boundaries of crochet and the challenge of recreating patterns and textures found in the world around her.
In addition to the crocheted swimwear that she began with, she has also expanded her range of cover-ups, with dance-inspired pieces in high voltage colors like fuchsia, teal, emerald and yellow, including the world’s first crocheted yoga pants.
Our Manufacturing Process…
The swimwear is made of 100% cotton yarn (thread), mercerized for added luster, elasticity and tensile strength, available in a huge variety of vibrant colors as well as basic neutrals. High quality cotton makes the swimwear durable and the color stable. The tops and front panel of the bottoms are always lined, which also helps to preserve each suit’s shape and stability. Anna has personally tested her designs in salt, fresh and chlorinated water, and although not intended for high-performance use, they are safe to swim in, the colors do not run and the pieces don’t lose their appeal, even after a season of regular wear.
To her design portfolio she also added two new lines:
v a collection of resort wear in diaphanous silk and silk chiffon (also hand-beaded and sequined) focused around the idea of an elegant, modern hostess in a fluid Ginger Rogers silhouette
v a collection of crocheted swimwear and cover-ups for little girls; age-appropriate versions of some of our most popular and glamorous ladies’ styles
So far, the market is responding tremendously well, and there is growing interest and feedback from high-end retailers. Anna Kosturova/Lucid Design Inc. is pleased to maintain accounts with Barneys, Fred Segal, and Harvey Nichols, as well as swimwear giants and Victoria’s Secret. The same enthusiastic response has come from chic beach boutiques in resorts all over the world, and we can now add Australia to the list of countries where our unique hand-made swimwear and cover-ups will be available.
The collection is also receiving a great amount of interest from celebrities and the press – details can be found on our website, http://www.annakosturova.com/.
But now, Four For Friday
This is a two-parter. It was going to be one part, but people go crazy and make it necessary to add another part. This actress is C list, but a definite hottie and is starting to get a red hot reputation and more work. Obviously not top billing, but getting those movie roles where she is the sexy lady helping out the men. In her latest role, she was the highest billed female and definitely wanted to help out the men. Well, one man in particular. She and this funny man were inseparable during filming and she made sure everyday was memorable. Even though he is married, our actress was not bothered in the least. She made it clear she was only in it for fun, and also for a role in his next film. He agreed, and she delivered.
She delivered again recently at a party for C&D listers. Our actress confessed to a male reality party goer how she found another female reality party goer extremely attractive. The male reality party goer sensing a very big opportunity plied the female reality party goer with enough booze to make all her inhibitions disappear. As a reward, the male reality party goer got to watch the two women together. An ambiguous actor at the party heard about the setup, was NOT invited and told so more than once. Our actress was proud but our female reality party goer vows never to do it again. No video, but there are some cellphone pics going around town.
Big bonus points for getting all five names--
Like father like son. Different careers in the entertainment business. One more known as an actor and the other a performer, but their mating habits are identical. The father could not spell fidelity or find someone even half his age. The son dates plenty of women who are his own age. The problem is that his wife does not know he is dating them.
This ambiguous rocker but not a rock star has found a new flame. Everyone says she is the spitting image of his ex. I guess our rocker does not agree though because he makes her wear wigs and act like his ex whenever they rock the bed. She is growing tired of it, but does not want to lose her possible meal ticket and so just smiles and does what he says.

Hi EL,
I love reading your Jackass V. Kindness posts -- mostly for the kindness portions. I'd like to share a kindness with you.
Eddie Garretson is an average Joe who doesn't have a kid with disabilities, but just a guy who decided 10 years ago that kids and young adults with disabilities deserve the opportunity to have social lives. Eddie's Club ( http://www.eddiesclub.org) is a recreational club for kids and young adults with disabilities, using "normal" teens as buddies, and adult volunteers to help supervise various activities.
My son Zach loves going to Eddie's Club -- it's the highlight of his week. It's the only place, outside of his own home, that he is treated like the "cool" guy he is. Usually, Eddie's Club is held at a local Jr. high, but other times, this guy manages to get the kids and families tickets to college basketball games, Disney on Ice, bowling, movies, and teen dinners at a local pizza parlor.
In the late Spring and Summer, Eddie's Club adjourns and is replaced by Springfield Challenger Baseball http://www.springfieldchallenger.org) also started by Eddie and some of his friends from Springfield, VA. Each Mother's Day weekend, Eddie provides a 2 day vacation at the beach for each kid and their family, along with participation in a Challenger baseball tournament. It's the only vacation some of us get all year long.
Eddie runs both all-volunteer programs on unbelievably small budgets, funded mostly through donations. I believe that he probably kicks in some of his own money -- which he doesn't have a lot of -- to keep things going. I honest to God don't know how he does it all.
So, if you have any clients who are from the Washington, DC area or the Northern Virginia area, and if any of them want to do a kindness and have a heart for people with disabilities, I ask that you please point them towards Eddie's Club.
Thanks EL,
Leah King

This was the VERY first plug request I received on November 23 and therefore he gets a post all to himself. That was Thanksgiving so this guy must really love to work. There was nothing in the e-mail except the request and that he remixes artists. I clicked his link and here are his words.
About Silent Money Produktionz

Thanks to Flynet for the pics.
Well actually it is Groundhog Day which is my second favorite holiday. It is the time of year when every person should be thinking of what they would do with Bill Murray's powers and whether or not they would ever want it to end. And of course there is the little rat that comes out of his hole for ten seconds to see if there is going to be another six weeks of winter.
Speaking of little rats, the NY Post has basically just let a group of celebrities have it in this article. I need to go back and check and see if they revealed a blind item or not. I did see that a UK newspaper revealed one of my blind items the other day but no one has put it in the guesses, so it still sits there.
Since Dina Lohan's daughter is dropping out of movies, and therefore Dina's income will probably be reduced, she may in fact be looking for easy money and therefore litigation happy. I would therefore like to point out that the following is entirely satirical in nature and could NEVER possibly occur in the Lohan house.
"Hi, I am Dina Lohan. I could very well be an enabler, and my husband is probably happier in prison than he was being married to me. I need some more publicity for myself even though I really have nothing to publicize. What I guess I can do is to continue to use my daughter Lindsay as an attraction and sell tickets to whatever entertainment outlet wants to see her. I know the paps are going to be all over Lindsay when she gets out of rehab. They will just be following her and following her and never leaving her alone. Oh, wait I need to go now, I have US Weekly here to give me some money so they can visit Lindsay for a few minutes and then ET is going to give me some money if Lindsay will stand up and do a little dance. Oh, she is such a brave girl. I just wish the paps would leave her alone."

This A list actress wants to be married only once which is why she is working so hard at saving a marriage that is becoming one problem after another. Always hesitant to marry, and famous for just having boyfriends, this actress finally took the plunge. The plunge though was not what she was expecting. Always publicity shy, her husband's past actions are forcing her into the public eye much more than she would like. It seems as if her husband did not tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth when they were dating and his past mistakes and relationships are coming back to haunt him and our actress. She wants it to all go away, but new problems surface everyday. As things grow more tense, they are spending less time together, and the feeling is that is not if they will split up, but when.
This former A list television actress of the 80's has found her way into a new television show and also found her way into several of her younger co-star's trailers. This still gorgeous actress has made it clear that she prefers men much younger than herself. In one instance she had been rebuffed by one of her younger male co-stars as she tried to make some heavy handed advances. So, she took matters into her own hands and was waiting for him in his trailer wearing nothing but a smile. Her co-star did not refuse her advances this time and even was bragging about our actress and her lovemaking skills. Well, after the bragging, our actress found another young male co-star to share her affections with also. Now, our actress is the one who is bragging and enjoying having two men who both think she is still A list.
Last night when the phone rang and I saw that it was my mother calling, I knew what she wanted before I even picked it up. I had seen the news and knew what was on her mind. Immediately after I said hello, she told me to tell her the time I went to lunch with Ann and Molly.
Some people can go through their whole lives and not meet anyone famous or see something significant. For some reason my life sometimes seems like Forrest Gump. Yes, I work in an industry where I see celebrities and such, but those are not the people or the moments to which I am referring. I grew up middle class so important moments and people were not a part of the scenery of my life, but for some strange reason they just occur. The only time I actually tried to pay for the privilege of meeting someone was when I met Muhammad Ali at a Parkinson’s disease dinner. I paid a ridiculous sum of money to get my photo taken with him and then the photo did not develop properly. I met him, but there is no record of it and I think someone was trying to tell me something. I think a great deal of my run ins with people are as a result of all the traveling I do and have done. The long blind item I am working on is a result of some of those trips.
It turns out we were not only on the same flight, but also sitting next to each other for the entire flight. As soon as I sat down, she said "tell me about yourself darling." She put me at ease and talked to me about this and that for the four hour flight. She was charming and funny and laughed really loud. At some point during the flight, she told me that if I wanted I could take her to lunch when we landed and she would even bring a friend. Not even thinking of saying no, I agreed. When we landed in Austin, the people in the airport treated her like the Queen and yet she just would keep talking to me and at the same time carry on conversations with everyone who came up to have a few words with her. It was amazing how many people she knew by name and how pleased they all were that she remembered them.
At the end of lunch, Molly asked for my mother’s address and phone number as well as mine. I did not think much of it at the time. For the remainder of her life, when Molly published a new book or at Christmas time or if she had run into me somewhere, she would handwrite my mother a letter just to keep in touch and to ask a question or two for which she was looking for an answer to some problem that my mother could solve.
This past Christmas she sent my mother a letter and did not mention that her cancer was back again. It was not until a few weeks later that we heard that news. When we learned she was fighting cancer again, we both sent her e-mails, but there was no reply. I know she had a chance to read them and I hope they made her smile.
My mother met Molly a few times, but the only time they were going to meet for lunch, something came up as is often the case. They thought they would have the chance again soon, but never did. My mom never got that lunch with Molly so last night I was happy to tell her about the time I did.
Meet the Little Focker is ready to start production. This of course will be followed by I Divorced the Focker and this will be followed by I Am Not a Focker Anymore, but He is Still a Focker.
Beyonce to miss the Academy Awards? No, there has not been an announcement, but Jennifer Hudson is going to perform there, so maybe a minor procedure for Beyonce or rehearsing for her new tour will be the favored excuse.
Carry on Tim Gunn. Tim Gunn is leaving Parsons The New School for Design to join Liz Claiborne. Project Runway is slipping away people.
The reason I am writing about it is to show you how the gossip world works in conjunction with lawyers. I think we can all admit TMZ.com gets videos that no one else does and definitely have sources. That being said, look at the article they ran last night.
TMZ spoke exclusively with several witnesses who claim they watched Lane
Garrison snort lines of cocaine just before the fatal crash.According to our
sources, Garrison looked "very high" and his "eyes were glazed" at the the
party, which was attended mostly by teenagers.According to our sources, Garrison obtained the coke from another attendee in an upstairs bedroom of the Beverly Hills home where seven or eight people were partying.They report that Garrison also had six or seven shots of Grey Goose vodka at the same time. A short time later, Garrison was the driver in a fatal crash that killed Vahagn Setian and injured two other teens. Garrison could face charges of gross
vehicular manslaughter, which carries a maximum sentence of ten years in
prison.I put the italics in the above section, NOT TMZ. I did so to illustrate a point. Did TMZ know about this cocaine use and the purchase of the cocaine prior to yesterday's announcement that cocaine was found in Lane Garrison's system? All media outlets reported the Grey Goose shots, so how come not the cocaine. I am not saying TMZ did this, but sometimes stories can be created after the fact to fit what is discovered. It is a great story and a huge scoop, and if they had multiple witnesses, I am surprised it did not run. Lane Garrison is not going to sue them because he would look foolish arguing that he purchased and used the cocaine somewhere else. However, it is not irrelevant in his criminal trial. If he bought and used the cocaine many hours before the accident or even the day before, that might have an effect. In addition, the homeowner may not like to be shown as allowing drug sales in their house. However, they did allow underage drinking so they are not likely to be running to the courts anytime soon either. Just something to think about when you read after the fact dramatic accounts.
I do not think we are getting the whole truth about the Courtney Love/American Idol fiasco. Too many things do not add up. However, doesn't Courtney Love actually look good in this photo?

So this is barely a blind item, but we will count it as such. Last night at a movie premiere, it was discovered that a recent romance with a very unlikely couple should actually be categorized as a "romance." Seems our actress was looking for some publicity for her new film while her new "boyfriend" agreed to help because he had started to fade from the limelight as well. Our actress made one other recent attempt to garner some headlines, but no one was buying what she was offering. Whatever kisses you saw on camera were the only kisses these two shared. Although good friends, they are only good friends and more like brother and sister than boyfriend and girlfriend.
This award winning A-list actor has been in and out of numerous relationships this past year. His current girlfriend thinks she is the one because of what he has been saying to her in private and in public. What she doesn't know is that when he has been doing interviews for his latest film and has been alone, he has been passing out a phone number to ladies that catch his eye. When they call the number they get one of his assistants. The assistant then schedules a time for the actor and woman to get together for an extended "interview." These extended interviews are one of the reasons the actor's recent marriage did not work out.
This B list actress has always had a career with lots of starts and stops. At one point everyone she was the next big thing. At some point though, her moods and her sexuality caused her to lose a few parts that she would have otherwise been given. Now, with her career back on track and concerns about which team she plays for mostly irrelevant, there is a new problem she is being forced to face. Face literally. She was given some bad botox injections and has had some intermittent problems moving her facial muscles. Right now doctors are taking a wait and see attitude to her most recent outbreak, but our actress is really afraid she will start to sputter again and never get back.
Well it turns out this season of CFC is full of fights, dildos, Screech and Marcia Brady, not to mention Tiffany who once let me...(well twice, but it was not good for her either time. I really think I could have gone for three, but she was getting really annoyed that I kept humming her songs and asking her if she thought we were alone now.) and also Ant getting into a fight with Dr. Ian. It makes me wish for the calmer episodes with a Baldwin or the Snapple Lady. I guess Screech is running around with a video camera begging Marcia to sleep with him or da Brat or Tiffany or if all else fails, even Ant or Ross the Intern. Basically Screech is up for anything with anyone as long as his career continues for another six months. Kimberly Locke is going to be on there. I guess she must have started packing on the pounds after Clay Aiken moved out. Those breakups are tough. As usual there are some people on there that I really could care less about at first, but I will no doubt get sucked into their lives and whatever. Naaaah. It sounds good, but I am sure they will be boring.
Pete Doherty video of him injecting drugs while talking to Kate Moss and lying through his teeth. You really need to see this video.
So, American Idol is thinking of replacing Paula Abdul with Courtney Love. Well they both have a way of being foolish on camera. I think they have slept with some of the same people. So you are replacing drugs with alcohol or vice versa? Replacing Crazy loopy crazy versus Crazy, I could get a gun crazy? Replacing kissing Simon's cheek versus spanking them? Replacing standing ovations with flashing the crowd?
More to come in about 30 minutes
Ummmm. Harry Potter is not wearing his robes. Actually he is not wearing much of anything. I knew he was going to get naked for a play, but I thought he would look like I did when I was 17. A permanent hangover and beer gut. After looking at his pics, I don;t know if I should go to the gym or just talk trash about him.
I think I just threw up in my mouth a little. No, not because Paris Hilton is on my mind. This time I threw up a little because Jean-Claude Van Damme is going around telling everyone how he bonked Kylie Minogue. Yes, I am sure she is ashamed and never whispers his name, but it happened. Of course it happened 12 years ago, but I am sure the memories are awful. Women did think he was sexy right?

Speaking of cads, this young B list television actor has been having his way with his much younger co-star. She is so enamored of him, his fame, and the attention that she thinks nothing of his requests to bring in other women to their relationship. She will do anything to make him happy and hang onto to what she thinks is love. Our actor enjoys watching and filming her with whomever he can find. When he has trouble finding someone, he sends her out to bars and clubs to find someone to bring home. Our actor has enough films of his young co-star in bed with other women and men to put Paris Hilton to shame.
I also totally believe Billy Bob when he said he had not cheated on Angelina. I would be so scared to. I can just see her staring at me while I am sleeping and just know she is going to do something Misery like.
Everyone always thinks I like Team Aniston more. Honestly, I think Angelina is about ten times hotter. There is a pic of Angelina at Davos, Switzerland from two years ago, and I was like wow. Incredible photo. Intelligent, gorgeous, but she just scares the shit out of me and Brad is scared too. Billy Bob was not whipped by Angelina, just scared to cross her.
