Some Non-Lohan Celebrity Newsmakers: Prince, Gaga, Elle and Mel
LiLo’s going to jail, and Emmy loves Glee – those are the week’s big entertainment stories that everybody knows. Here are a few more that caught my attention.
PRINCE IS JUST YOUR REGULAR DISGUISED RELIGIOUS NUTJOB: The artist formerly known as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince joined the Jehovah’s Witnesses church well over a decade ago. Along with denying their kids life-saving blood transfusions, an essential part of practicing the faith is going out into the hoi polloi in search of new recruits – which the Minnesota native tries to disguise himself for. “My hair is capable of doing a lot of different things,” he told a British tabloid reporter. “I don’t always look like this.” It would also help if he went door-to-door sans eyeliner, frilly shirt and four-inch heels, I suppose.
MODEL MACPHERSON’S BEHAVIOR ISN’T MODEL BEHAVIOR: Clearly, there’s a reason Elle was nicknamed “The Body” and not “The Brain.” The 47-year-old Aussie supermodel is so brain-dead and narcissistic that she thought nothing of rhinos being killed for her health and beauty regimen. Powdered rhinoceros horn “does the job,” she said, touching off a wave of criticism. She responded to the criticism by saying she would never “knowingly” contribute to the extinction of a species – and, besides, she regrets having offended anyone. To which I say: 1. Jeezus, Elle, how could you have been unaware that rhinos are internationally protected? and 2. It’s so nice that you’re sorry if your abysmally ignorant comments that exposed abysmally ignorant behavior offended people who give a shit about the environment. Asshole.
THE MEL GIBSON SLUR COUNT KEEPS ON GROWING: Take note, Jews – you’re really not so special in Mel’s world. He doesn’t like black and hispanic people either. Or the gays, don’t forget. Or women who won’t shut up, listen to him, and obey. He truly dislikes a wide diversity of people. That’s how he rolls. But I’ve always been puzzled as to what he has against women with “sugar tits,” like that arresting officer in Malibu a couple years back. I mean, sweet-tasting breasts should be treasured and celebrated, right?
GAGA’S NOT BAD, SHE’S JUST DRAWN – ER, COSTUMED – THAT WAY: Like Jessica Rabbit, Lady Gaga wants you to know she’s not the naughty girl she may appear to be: “I would never cheat on a man. … Don’t be fooled by the way I look – underneath all this I know exactly who I am and what my boundaries are.” I found this disclaimer peculiar, since I never thought she looked slutty; I thought she looked weird. In a good way, of course.
Uh Oh, Prince is a J-Edgar-Hoover-Wickedness?? No wonder he sucked…
I think if Prince came-a-callin’ I’d seek refuge with the Jehovah’s Witness protection program.
Haven’t heard Mel disparage Canadians yet. Possibly he’s never heard of Canadia. So in his defense, he only insults people he’s heard of. Canadia’s wisdom in avoiding the limelight by only manufacturing products nobody wants appears to have paid off.
Glad you’re mentioning Lady G again. The link said she never accepted handouts from her parents and I never accepted handouts from her parents either. So there’s something in common. It’s a start.
I have to say that the more that Lady GaGa reveals herself, the more likeable she seems. Plus she seem to have a lot of talent as well.
And I mean that only as a compliment not in a flirty way, Oso. So no mean words of “I’ll kick his ass talking about my woman” type talk…
Well….ok, since you put it that way. I guess complimentary’s ok.
Stimp – We are having a slight technical problem with hyperlinks right now, will be cured soon I am assured.
Mel Gibson’s personality, at last, seems to reflect his acting ability, never rated him as an actor, although some of the movies he appeared in were relatively entertaining. So Prince is a Jehovah’s Witness, what is the world coming to, Little Red Corvette will never be the same.
I was a huge fan of Prince. Emphasis on was. His conversion to the JW faith has affected his songs, specifically the lyrics. He won’t sing anything he deems too naughty, and every new album has some kind of annoying religious content.
Another problem: Prince has repeatedly disrespected his fans, probably out of greed. If someone even posts a YouTube video of her/his own performance of a Prince song or a child dancing to Let’s Go Crazy, for example, Prince’s lawyers get the video removed pronto. No royalties to be had from that stuff, after all. And the P-man is all about money. Or so it seems.
I could go on about how he has disappointed, but I don’t want to bore anyone with the details.
I used to love Prince as well- when he wrote nasty songs that is. I have no use for any of the holy rolling crap he has been on about either. Wasn’t his dad a minister?
He has a pathological need for privacy that would seem at odds with his “Witnessing” behavior. And it isn’t like he could disguise himself in public all that easily- as Boy George stated once, “Prince looks like a dwarf who’s been dipped in a bucket of pubic hair.”
It appears none of the hyperlinks I put in are working.
