James Brolin was kind enough to wish us all a “Happy 9/11″ on WPLR Radio in New Haven. I think the worst part of it is that it’s gotten very little in the way of negative press for the washed up pitchman [...]

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Sour grapes from Kanye West — again.

Shut out at the Video Music Awards, Kanye West threw a tantrum Sunday night in front of media and crew backstage as the MTV show was ending.

West, waiting for an elevator in a crowded hallway, began yelling about losing all five categories for which he [...]

Can you imagine if someone had said “Suck it Allah, this statue is my god now?” There would be rioting Muslims around the world (cartoon riots… remember them?) and condemnations from CAIR and a threat from Osama bin Laden.

I won’t even get into the tolerance issue because it’s like shooting fish in a [...]

Man… The Bush administration and all those redneck fans sure devastated the career of the Dixie Chicks, didn’t they?

I mean, how can they survive with all that oppression surrounding them?

We love it when the unexpected happens – and it did at the Grammy awards.

The big winners of the night were the Dixie Chicks.

They swept [...]

Apparently…

Paltrow won for her leading role in “Shakespeare in Love” and has said she was unequipped to cope with the pressure, leading her to make several bad choices.

“I think part of the downside about being so successful and winning the Oscar at the age of 26 is that I sort of became insouciant about the [...]

I don’t care when a washed-up celebrity runs abroad and runs their mouth. I mean, for all intents and purposes, Gwyneth Paltrow hasn’t had a career since Sliding Doors. That being said, the one thing I do hate is a lack of commitment.

If you’re gonna be an elitist euro-snob of american birth, then [...]

I don’t often find myself not liking something radio host Gregg Henson, but this time I think he’s not only wrong, he’s clueless…

Have you been following the Dixie Chick saga? They are the country group who is STILL under fire for their negative comments about George Bush in London the night before the Iraq [...]

Neil Young has made his entire anti-war screed available online.

Who cares?

I mean, aside from the Vacuous Hole?

“My kids don’t watch TV. We have televisions but they’re not hooked up to anything but movies.

Another audience walked out on poor Linda…

But that isn’t what I find interesting.

What I find interesting is the continuous rehashing of a blatant lie that appears again and again and again.

The real deal | The San Diego Union-Tribune

Well at least she’s proclaimed her bias.

“I’ve been dedicating a song to him – I think he’s a great patriot – and it splits the audience down the middle, and they duke it out,” she said.

“This is an election year, and I think we’re in desperate trouble [...]

Elton John says there aren’t enough Anti War songs out there these days.

BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Elton attacks ‘censorship’ in US

Oh yes, madame, the US is just a haven for censorship.

In the BBC article, Madame Elton makes a couple of absolutely assinine quotes:

Sir Elton [...]

Yahoo! News – Ron Reagan Says Bush Misled U.S. on Iraq

Yeah, and Ronald Reagan’s other son, a conservative talk show host, gets no headlines for his repeated praise of his father’s legacy and the current President.

Guess you have to be a Bush CriticTM to get noticed in the media these days.

“We had a trauma, but it’s really not a national trauma. If you were not in New York on Sept. 11, what you saw was an event on CNN.”

Barbra Streisand, yet again proving that stupidity is no obstacle to speech:

What should scare us is that we have no checks and balances on this administration. They control the White House, the Senate, the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court. All we have is each other. So each of us must do what we [...]
