Politco.com reported today that the Republican National Committee spent more than $150,000 on clothing, accessories, and beauty treatments for Sarah Palin since she was announced as John McCain's Vice-Presidental pick.
Financial disclosure statements documented the charges--all paid for by the RNC. They included:
$75,062.63 at a Minneapolis Neiman Marcus $49,425.74 at Saks Fifth Avenues in St. Louis and New York $4,716.49 for hair and makeup
Spokesperson Tracy Schmitt defended the spending saying,"With all of the important issues facing the country right now, it’s remarkable that we’re spending time talking about pantsuits and blouses. It was always the intent that the clothing go to a charitable purpose after the campaign."
That charitable purpose? The Foundation for Pissed off Republican Campaign Contributors.
In comparison, during Hillary Clinton's campaign, the Democratic National Committee saved money by buying white pantsuits from Sears and getting them dyed at Payless.
Jessica Simpson was recently photographed wearing a t-shirt with the message "REAL GIRLS EAT MEAT." It is rumored to be a dig at her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend and vegetarian, Carrie Underwood. PETA's pissed of course.
Don't worry Carrie. As a fellow vegetarian, I've got your back. I designed some message t-shirts for you to wear.
So Brooke Hogan was in a car accident Sunday. It wasn't her fault. Another car that was speeding hit her car and pushed it into a concrete wall while she was driving on the Bayside Bridge in Clearwater, Florida. No charges have been filed in the accident.
There were no injuries and Brooke's 2008 four-door Mercedes had $3,000 damage.
So here's why Brooke's Asshat of the Week.
Brooke posted a message on her MySpace page (which has since been removed) referencing her brother Nick's accident (you know, the one that he's serving time for for reckless driving and that left his friend John Graziano paralyzed in the hospital?) and she even goes as far as to credit Nick and John with saving her and her passenger's lives by reminding them to put on their seatbelts.
"I don't know if you heard, but my friend and I got into a really bad car accident today ourselves . . . As I turned on my car I clicked my seatbelt. As we pulled out onto the road, I looked over and realized my friend didn't have her seatbelt on. I reminded her to put it on and the minute she clicked it, a car crashed into us. It was a horrible car accident, one that most would be severely hurt in, but we had our seatbelts on and they kept us in tight."
Thank god for John!!! If not for him getting crushed to the point of most likely having to spend the rest of his life in a nursing home, Brooke might have been hurt and the world would be denied of her beauty and angelic voice!
Speaking of people the need to be spayed and neutered, have you heard about the Duggar family? These are the asshats in Arkansas that have 17 children aging in range from 9 months to 20 years, all with names beginning with the letter J (I guess they're trying to cover all the J names). Well guess what? Just in time for Mother's Day, baby number 18 is on the way!
The Duggars live in a 7,000-square-foot home. All the children are home-schooled and do chores to keep up with the growing family's needs. And of course, they are going to have a TV show. It will be on Discovery Health. Maybe instead of a TV show, they should consider getting a TV. With cable. A Flavor of Love marathon should be enough to stop the sperm parade.
So eighteen kids, that's gotta be enough right? (Hey, I just thought of a great name for their show!) Nope!! Not as long as God "wills it." Ok, can I just say right here that that kind of verbal diarrhea pisses the ever loving shed uterine lining out of me? God also wills murder, disease, war, and Heidi and Spencer---that doesn't mean that those are good things.
I'm not even trying to be funny, these people are fucking crazy. They are making their own little cult and those kids are all brainwashed. Check out their daily schedule on their website. Here's an example:
9:00p.m. is Bible time with Daddy. This is probably our favorite time of day. Daddy reads the Bible & we discuss the passage together. We talk about the day & bring out points of how to apply what we have learned. We enjoy making up skits & acting out examples of right responses & wrong responses. Often our little ones will fall asleep as Daddy begins Bible time, still they love to be with us at this special time. Bedtime is 10:00p.m.
Say it with me folks: Creepy. Ass. Shit.
I wonder what these little skits for Daddy Koresh are like, especially the "wrong responses."
But no, it's ok!! Let's reward this kind of shit and make this family into celebrities! Only in America.
I seriously need to stop thinking about this. What can I think about to cleanse my brain? Ok, so Britney calls K-Fed and is like "hey baby, I got some Frappuccino foam on my nipples...."
It seems like just yesterday that we found out little Jamie Lynn Spears was knocked-up. Well, she had her baby shower this past Saturday. And soon-to-be Auntie Britney was there!
Star reports that the shower was held in Kentwood at an estate that Britney purchased for her mother. The menu included included cold cuts, juice, and champagne.
Britney didn't smoke around Jamie and even told guests to smoke outside! Wow, that is HUGE!!!
The next day Britney and Jamie Lynn took a drive together and lunched at Sonic. A source said,"Both of them were just glowing, totally happy to be together." I'm sure the glowing part had to do with the greasy food.
So apparently Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, who have only been dating for two months, got married on Wednesday! The story broke when a source close to Nick told Latina.com that the couple wed in a small ceremony at Mariah's home in the Bahamas and that it was "very implusive." So impulsive in fact that there was NO PRE-NUP!
I'm having a hard time believing that Mariah is that stupid not to protect her money, love shouldn't cost a thing. (Get it? Because Nick was in the remake of Can't Buy Me Love called Love Don't Cost a Thing.)
Hey speaking of Can't Buy Me Love, here's the African Anteater Ritual!!
Jennifer Lopez is already working on getting back into shape after giving birth to twins - She's hired a trainer and is even planning to compete in a triathlon in six months!
She told People magazine she is planning to enter "probably in October, September/October... I want my babies to be proud of me."
Um, J-Lo, they'll be six months old! They'll be throwing their poop!
J-Lo also has dismissed claims that she and Marc used in-vitro fertilization: "It was natural. We didn't do in vitro, which I know was reported. Everybody assumed that because we had twins. I wanted to have a baby, but I've always said exactly what I said all those years they (reporters) asked us since we've been married: 'Well, when are you guys gonna have some kids?' 'When it happens naturally, I guess!'
"Instead of hitting up the Governor's Ball or any other party, we opted for sweats and In-N-Out Burgers. Being preggers kind of takes the fun out of partying until the wee hours." - Jessica Alba on what she did after the Oscars.
If Amy Winehouse's recent sobriety was for real, it unfortunately seems to have been short-lived, after Amy trashed a hotel room in London's Riverbank Plaza Hotel causing $6.000.00 worth of damage.
Amy was staying in a suite at the luxury hotel since leaving rehab earlier this month. During her two-week stay, she has refused to allow the cleaning crew into the room. When Amy was out attending the Brit Awards Wednesday night, the hotel management team were finally able to gain access to the room.
Once inside the suite, they found the floor littered with empty champagne bottles, cigarette butts and ashes all over the carpet, and spilled drinks which ruined the wooden floors in the hallway. The bathtub was stained with black hair dye.
A source told Britain's The Sun, "It was covered in booze and fag butts, absolutely disgusting. …Most of the room had been used as an ashtray… the place smelt incredibly stale. The bath had to be scrubbed and unblocked from balls of matted hair. It took three maids two hours to get it in a habitable order."
Jessica Simpson and Papa Joe have been sued by the owner of fitness video company Speedfit for Jessica's changing her mind about releasing an exercise DVD she made (and was paid for) back in 2005 when she was in her Daisy Duke shape. Jessica has banned the video from being released.
And because this DVD will not be available, there is NO hope for all the overweight people in America to lose those extra pounds!
Ever!
Good going Jessica, you meanie!
See, according Speedfit owner Alex Astilean, "They are hurting millions of fat people in America."
Simpson's spokesman replied with, "It's a legal matter that's in the hands of attorneys." SOURCE
If you are currently eating or drinking please swallow (or spit, if you prefer that) before reading the following Paris Hilton quote.
Done?
Ok.
Paris says that she gets her manners and "sweetness" from her mama, telling Parade magazine, "She always taught us to be polite. We had the best manners, so I've kept them. My mom has always been really supportive. She's one of my best friends. And she's just always told me to stay the same and stay the sweet girl I've always been since I was little and not let any of the Hollywood stuff get to my head, and you'll leave a good karma."
Mama's best advice to Paris? "Put your shoulders back and don't chew gum." Wow, good thing mama learned her real good on that one! Could you imagine how uncouth Paris would be? It's bad enough she displayed such poor etiquette when she took a phone call during sex, but THANK GOD she doesn't chew gum! Good job Kathy!!
In related Paris news, bad news for fans of The L Word. Looks like Paris got that role she's had her eye on. Her good eye, I presume. "It's true," she says. "I have no idea what kind of character I'll be playing, but it's a good show." SOURCE
People are still trying to sue Borat! This time it's a man by the name of Michael Psenicska - he's the driving instructor that gave a lesson to Borat in the film. He is suing Sacha Baron Cohen and 20th Century Fox for over $100,000 accusing the producers of lying to him about the film.
Michael says he was told that the footage was for a documentary about "the integration of foreign people into the American way of life". He was paid $500 for his appearance. He also alleges he would not have taken part in the film if he had known it was a mockumentary comedy.
Bullshit, he's pissed because he only got $500 out of it!
20th Century Fox spokesperson Gregg Brilliant says tough luck, "He signed a release, and we have an agreement. Now, two-and-a-half years after giving his consent and more than one year after the movie was released, Mr Psenicska has decided to file a lawsuit, citing the financial success of the film, in spite of our agreement."
