[Translate] Dear IRS: Don’t you know super models are above the law and cannot be held accountable for anything? Really! The New York Post, Page 6 reports the IRS has put a lien against her her in NYC. The lien is small change for Naomi Campbell and in no way comparable to being threatened with imprisonment for not testifying in the trial of alleged dictator how committed crimes against humanity and allegedly gave the super model blood diamonds.

[Translate] Mike Daly, of The New York Daily News has a scoop, a piece of the puzzle regarding the Mosque, a religious site that appears to be causing enormous amounts of pain rather than bridging gaps and healing which one would hope is the case. Daly tells us that a teenage boy is the reason the location of this Mosque was found in the first place. Say what? Yes…this story is too weird to be true but it is. Rewind: Francisco Patino was a teenager inventor and on a reality tv...
[Translate] I am old an old movie buff and maybe way back when Hollywood stars were as repugnant as they are now but the Hollywood moguls controlled the stars and their images having enormous pull with the media.

[Translate] Gnomedex: cool logo, lots of people on computers This blogger’s just plain dizzy from all of the blog, new media, and social media conference opportunities. Consider that we have BlogWorld in October, Gnomedex this weekend in Seattle (missing that), Web 2.0 Expo already happened (skipped that), but Web 2.0 is approaching (not interested), and then there’s SXSW next year (which I ranted about), and a whole slew of conferences not even mentioned until then. Do we really need all of these blog, new media,...

Perata Campaign Manager Rhys Williams explains that… Senator Perata will not participate in forums that aren’t open to all candidates.

[Translate] This is in the un-freaking-believable category, and signals her wild rise to stardom, but Chelsea Handler, Comedian, diva, legs-spreader, skirt-hiker, and host of Chelsea Lately , will be the …drum-roll-please…HOST OF THE MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS. What we know as the VMAs. Wow. And remember a while back when I was asking what the deal was with Chelsea Handler and her humor? And remember when she dissed Wil.I.Am and asked Rapper T.I. “How was prison?” Wow. In explaining why she’s the best...
[Translate] Steven Tyler Steven Tyler will become a judge on American Idol, according to Reality TV Today. While a Fox contact reportedly said “no comment” the MSNBC website quotes a “very insider source” as saying the Aerosmith singer “finalized negotiations late last week.” Frankly, this corner is both surprised and pleased that someone as old as Tyler at 62 was selected. That should make him the oldest judge in American Idol history, and scores a big one for health and fitness and...
[Translate] This man in Shanghai decided to cross that unseen but known barrier between things we know we should not do, and things we do. The man films himself jumping underneath an oncoming train on the Shanghai Subway. (That’s the video, above.) He was, of course, arrested. The video-blogger told the police he thought he could get a better angle so he did it. Now, this video-blogger has never even considered such an act. For one thing, you don’t know what’s under the train. He could have been...

Many people say yes this is and that NBC is doing exactly what the controversial Micahel Moore like YouTube points out suppressing potential candidates that want to clean up Albany!

[Translate] Cal Athletics on YouTube‘ has really improved in videos and creativity over the past year. One example is this video by Francesca Weems featuring California Wide Receiver Jeremy Ross, #3. It’s part of a segment called “Cal Cribs” that’s not only fun, but I wonder if they’re going to show it at the Cal Football games this 2010 season. One thing Ross needs is a real television set. But on second thought, he’s got to hit the books, so a new TV set just may be a bad idea. GO...
[Translate] Tavaris Jackson Brett Favre has returned to the Minnesota Vikings, and everyone’s happy. Now, the talk of the Vikings as Super Bowl Contender can, and has started. TV shows like ESPN NFL Live can and have started to waste time with supposedly funny segments on the return of Brett Favre. All of this, and Tavaris Jackson sits again, waiting his turn to start. One has to wonder if the Vikings would have pushed Favre out of the door if Quarterback Tavares Jackson were fair-haired and white, rather...
