Hot Air » Blog Archive » Video: Michelle explains why Couric can’t get out of the basement:

"On The Factor tonight, Bill, Michelle and Kirsten tackled Opie & Anthony
and then asked the question: Why hasn’t Katie Couric done anything for CBS
Evening News’ ratings? Well, she has made them worse, but other than that what’s
the problem? If you ask Mickey Kaus, Couric’s meteoric thud is a feature of her
hire, not a bug. O’Reilly’s answer was that it’s because she’s a woman. Neither
of the actual women on the Factor bought that. Pandering will get you nowhere on
Mondays with Michelle and Kirsten. Smart glasses won’t get you anywhere either.
But they make a good screenshot."


Michelle explains why she thinks that Couric's ratings are so low. In the same clip O'Reilly claims that it is because Americans won't trust a womyn to give them their news. I think he should only speak for himself.

Hot Air » Blog Archive » CNN: Al Qaeda collapsing in Anbar?:

"A U.S. troop pullout from Iraq would leave the country as a potent launchpad
for international terrorism and Washington would be forced to go back in within
a couple of years, a leading al Qaeda expert said on Tuesday.Rohan Gunaratna
told a security conference at Lloyd’s of London insurance market that Iraq, like
Afghanistan in the 1990s, would become a “terrorist Disneyland” where al Qaeda
could build up its strength unchallenged.If U.S., British and other coalition
troops withdrew from Iraq in the next year, he said, “certainly the scale of
attacks that would be mounted inside Iraq, and using Iraq as a launching pad to
strike other Western countries — countries in Europe, North America - would
become such that after two or three years, the U.S. forces will have to go back
to Iraq.”"


I think that this connection to Afghanistan is a good point. When we were involved in that country, we invested a good deal of money and weapons into creating chaos. In Iraq, we are now trying to patch up the chaos that resulted from out actions. If we leave the country in the same state that we left Afghanistan, then we will end up with the same results.

Celebrity News!: Photographer Suing Lindsay Lohan - into GOSSIP.

Celebrity News!: Photographer Suing Lindsay Lohan - into GOSSIP.:

"The 20-year-old was 'negligent, careless and reckless' while driving a
BMW on 13 March in New York, according to legal papers filed in the city by
snapper Giovanni Arnold on Thursday (10May07)."


This relates to an incident in NY where the photographers were chasing her through the city. When she stopped they surrounded her car and were taking pictures of her. I think when you stand in front of someones car, flashing a camera in their face you shouldn't be surprised if you get your foot run over.

X17 XCLUSIVE! - Britney With Jayden! (X17 Online)

X17 XCLUSIVE! - Britney With Jayden! (X17 Online):

"X17 is again bringing you exclusive pix of Britney with her youngest son Jayden
James. These images were snapped yesterday as Brit made a visit back to the
Malibu home she shared with Kevin. "


It was just a couple days ago I was wondering why we never see pictures of Britney with Jayden, and now we do. The pictures are clear, but you can see him.

IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com: Marilyn Manson is a Pig

IDontLikeYouInThatWay.com: Marilyn Manson is a Pig:

"Manson and Wood elected not to fake their intercourse. Though their naughty
bits are concealed on-screen by bedclothes and each other's bodies, the
logistics of the shoot ensured the crew members had an intimate view of the
proceedings: The video was originally intended to be shot in 3-D, meaning the
couple's writhings had to be shot from several different angles simultaneously.
And just to be sure they got it right, Manson and Wood got it on three times for
the cameras.'"


Why can't we just ignore him, let him fade away into the dust, his time has passed.

Misguided Photo Ops: Katie Couric's Gravitas - Gawker

I think that this picture tells us everything we need to know about why Couric isn't being taken seriously. If I ever see pictures of Brian Williams acting this way, then I think his career will start to fail as well.

Trump's show left off newly unveiled NBC lineup | Entertainment | Reuters

Trump's show left off newly unveiled NBC lineup Entertainment Reuters:

"LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - NBC is close to telling Donald Trump 'You're fired,'
but the network is holding back just in case they could use him at the last
minute."


I think it would be great if the last episode of The Apprentice has Trump sitting smugly at his table with his staff. Then an executive from NBC comes in and tells him, "You're Fired". It would be great to see him fired on national TV.

Celebrity gossip - see it our way New couple alert - Kim Kardashian & Reggie Bush :

"Kim Kardashian is ready to announce to the whole world she’s madly in love with
football star Reggie Bush. "


I have to report on her just because she is so hot. I hope that this relationship works out for her, though I would place my bets on it not. Stars and sports players for the most part don't have solid relationships because they are built on shaky foundations and have different lives.

CelebNewsWire.com - Keira Knightley Thinks You Don't Want to See Her Naked, Is Wrong:

"Keira Knightley obviously doesn't read about herself on the internet.
Otherwise she'd know that people love seeing her all kinds of naked. "


I actually have little to add to this, but to say that it is strange to me to think that someone as clearly hot as Knightley would think this about herself.

Kate & Owen Go Public (again) Kate Hudson:

"Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson made their first proper public appearance
together last week, at the after party for The Wendell Baker Story premiere in
Los Angeles."


They do make a cute couple, but I still think that this relationship is not going to last. I don't think eiter one of them are at a point in their lives where they can make a relationship work. When you look at Hollywood relationships, the ones that work are the ones where the stars become less active.

Best Week Ever » Blog Archive » The Top 10 Things We’ll Miss About Bob Barker:

"About 6 months ago, we received the news that Bob Barker, aka Our First Crush©,
will be retiring as the host of The Price is Right. Since the announcement, a
number of stars have been duking it out for the chance to be able to freely
grope women in public, including Dave Price, John O’Hurley and Rosie O’Donnell.
But Bob isn’t done just yet: He’s taping his last show on June 6, and CBS will
be honoring the white-haired stallion during prime time next week with some
super Price is Right spectaculars. "


News about Bob Barker's exit has been floating around out there for some time. There has been talk of who would replace him, I personally can't see someone like O'Donnell doing it, I think Geraldo Rivera would be great.

"Julia Roberts and her gigantic bump enjoyed a day out in Texas with her family
this weekend. The actress is pregnant with her third child, a boy, due in July.
Twins Hazel and Phinn are two years old."


How did I miss knowing the Robert's was pregnant. Good luck to her and her family.

Allie Is Wired - The Entertainment Blog: Britney Spears' New Cd Will Be Fun & Basic

Allie Is Wired - The Entertainment Blog: Britney Spears' New Cd Will Be Fun & Basic:

"'It's fun, it's basic and there's nothing wrong with that. And if you don't
dance to it, I really don't know what you're listening to.

There was no,
'I need to let it all out'. She said she deals with that in another way. She
didn't let none of her personal life into what she was doing... She wanted to
stay away from being personal.

As far as her work ethic, I haven't seen
anybody come in like that. Boom, boom, boom, and get it done. So as an artist?
She's ready to go.'"


Details about Spears' new album are now coming out, I hope that this CD marks a good change in her life. I have not been a fan of her music in the past, but she has the potential to turn her life and her career around - hopefully she will.
