Weeds - My Favorite Show EVER!

I guess weeds has been running for a while now.  They are getting ready to start a new season on August 16, 2010.  I had no idea what a great show I was missing.  I didn't have showtime and I can't remember ever hearing anyone talk about it so I had no reason to try to watch it.   Well, I talked my husband into ordering Showtime so I could see the last season of The Tudors which I had gotten hooked on when I order the first 3 seasons on Netflix.  When I went through the last Tudors season in three evenings I was in a funk - I love when I fall in love with a TV show - it happens so rarely these days.  Usually every new show turns out to be a bunch of rehashed crap.  Because the Tudors was such an amazing series I decided to go through the first episode of all of the Showtime series.  The first one was Weeds.  I watched the first episode and was cracking up, decided to watch the second and I was hooked.  I watched all 5 seasons in the past week - now I'm all caught up and ready for the new Season.  I think I will record it and watch the whole season at one time instead of in half hour increments.  I absolutely love this show.  Funny, serious, quirky and just enough sex to get you going.

" It's been a wild ride from desperate pot-selling suburban widow to cartel concubine and politician's wife. Now Nancy is put to the ultimate test of motherhood: protecting her family. Her kids keep her on her toes, while she keeps wacky, lovesick brother-in-law Andy on his. And even when she goes into hiding in everyday suburban America, Nancy's sardonic and fearless wit shine through."

Furry Fashion

Furry Fashion! WTF? A little bit goes a long way. Is this a model or an enormous hairball. Besides, last time I checked, fur was not on the pallet of fashion. Maybe in the 50's, but not now. This trend needs to die. Well, fur is dead, but let's not attempt to resurrect it.

 Mohr forced ugliness on yet more models during his Spring/Summer 2011 presentation. All of Mohr's models, male and female, sported bald heads and wispy, scraggly beards with their designer dudes. The effect? Completely bizarre and distracting. Who's going to pay attention to the clothing with mugs like these on display?

Sarah Palin Must Be SOOO Excited

Looks like Ms. Palins daughter, Bristol and Baby Daddy Levi are engaged once again. The two told Us magazine before telling Bristol's parents. Todd and Sarah Palin responded with a statement read on the "Today" show Wednesday:

Bristol at 19 is now a young adult. We obviously want what's best for our children. Bristol believes in redemption and forgiveness to a degree most of us struggle to put in practice in our daily lives.

Bar Girls Get Paid To Snoop

I learned something new today and I guess I should have known that something like this went on, but I was happily oblivious.  I always thought celebrity news came by the way of secret operative type photogs hiding in bushes and lucky civilians who overheard juicy scoops.  It kind of ruins it to know that some of these tabloids actually pay girls to go into these hangouts and get the scoop.  Here's an interesting scoop from the LA Times

Britney Spears wanted to slip into something more comfortable.

For much of 2007, the pop diva had been on a jag of increasingly erratic behavior: shaving her head, attacking paparazzi with an umbrella, a stint in rehab. And at a party at the exclusive West Hollywood nightspot Winston's, Spears was acting out again. She downed some vodka, befriended a barmaid and convinced the woman to switch clothing with her in the club's restroom — all the way down to her undergarments.Celebrity obsessives know these details thanks to a reporter who said she witnessed Spears' wardrobe swap and supplied her account to a British tabloid, creating a worldwide gossip sensation. "I was in the bathroom when they exchanged clothes," the reporter recalled. "I was by the bar and heard everything the bartender said about it: 'She loved my bra and wanted to switch with me.' I was like, 'This is brilliant!' "
A statuesque former model who now works for a major American celebrity magazine, the woman spoke on condition she not to be identified for fear of blowing her cover as a so-called "club girl," a glamorous breed of covert reporters who infiltrate Hollywood's VIP sanctums to write celebrity exposés for the tabloids.

A well-established yet seldom-discussed fixture of A-list Angeleno nightlife, they have good looks and air-kissy access beyond the velvet rope that enable them to eavesdrop on celebrities, send surreptitious text messages and snap iPhone photos in pursuit of gossip gold.

"I always say, it's living like a call girl without the sex," former club girl Suzy McCoppin said. (Read Full Story)

Carrie Underwood Is Tying The Knot!

I didn't even realize that Carrie Underwood was coming close to marriage with her gorgeous hockey playing sweetie, Mike Fisher.

The wedding will be held at The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Georgia.

Will The New Law & Order LA Cut IT?

 I've been a Law & Order freak since it started way back in 1990.  I watched every single episode of every single Law & Order at least 3 times (at the VERY least).  I know lots of little fun facts about the Law & Order cast - like, Mariska Hargitay (Olivia Benson) is the daughter of the hot actress Jayne Mansfield.  Once you know this you can really see the resemblance.  I've got to say I'm a little wary of Law & Order taking place in Los Angeles instead of New York.  I hate shows that take place in LA it's so fake and boring, to predictable.  A different kind of creepy criminal.  But, I promise to watch it with an open mind because the minds behind the Law & Order series have a gift - they know how to pull you in and make you care what happens to not only the characters in the show buy anyone who has had to deal with whatever issue is being focused on in that particular show.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope I fall in love.  Just, PLEASE, PLEASE don't let me see some hot blond, big boobed DA, Detective or else I will change channels faster than a man offers to change a diaper.

NBC has picked up the new drama “LOLA” as well as renewed “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” for the 2010-11 season. The new “LOLA” (“Law & Order: Los Angeles”) is a procedural crime drama that will follow the theme and storylines similar to the “Law & Order”-brand series on the streets of Los Angeles.  The series, from executive producer Dick Wolf and Blake Masters (“Brotherhood”), is a Wolf Films production in association with Universal Media Studios.  Casting and pre-production work are continuing.



One of my favorite ways to spend a rainy weekend.  Snuggled on the sofa watching an SVU marathon - watch it on DVD and get rid of those irritating commercials.

Lindsay Lohan Gets 90 Days For Probation Violation

Lindsay received 90 days at her probation violation hearing .  I feel sorry for her.  She is a lost twenty something who doesn't stand a chance of recovering from this destructive path unless someone (like the judge) steps up.  It doesn't help matters that people who are supposed to love her and protect her (mom and dad) use her and take advantage of her for their own good.  From USA Today:

Lindsay Lohan will spend 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab for blowing off nine alcohol-education classes, a Beverly Hills judge ruled this afternoon."It's like someone who cheats but doesn't think it's cheating if they don't get caught," Judge Marsha Revel said in finding that Lohan had violated the terms of her probation for reckless driving and two DUI charges from 2007. Revel noted several instances over the last few years in which the actress lied about taking drugs and drinking.
A teary Lohan addressed the court before being sentenced. She said that "as far as I knew I was in compliance with my programs."
"I wasn't trying to get special treatment," said the actress, whose credits include Mean Girls, Freaky Friday and Herbie Fully Loaded. "I have to provide for myself. I have to work. Having said that, I did everything to balance my jobs and showing up. I'm not taking this as a joke. It's my life. It's my career. ... I take responsibility for my actions. I've tried to do the best I can. It's been such a long haul, I don't want you to think that I don't respect you."
After she's out of jail, Lohan must do 90 days in a rehab center. She'll surrender in two weeks.

I know everyone has to take responsibility for their own actions and she will be paying the price for hers but I can't help but throw some (or a lot) of the blame on certain people in her life who so obviously only look at for their best interests.

Harry's Hot Pal

This English actress and model rose to prominence playing Hermione Granger, one of three starring roles in the Harry Potter film series. And with her pretty face and gorgeous persona, she is definitely one hot sexy celebrity of today's generation.

Born in Paris, France, Emma Watson's childhood dream was to become an actress. She trained at the Oxford branch of Stagecoach Theatre Arts, a part-time theatre school, where she studied singing, dancing, and acting. By the age of ten, she had performed in various Stagecoach productions and school plays, including Arthur: The Young Years and The Happy Prince, but she had never acted professionally before the Harry Potter series.

In 1999, casting began for Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the United States), the film adaptation of British author J. K. Rowling's bestselling novel. Casting agents found Emma through her Oxford theatre teacher, and producers were impressed by her confidence. After eight auditions, she was chosen to play the role of Hermione Granger, one of Harry Potter's bestfriends.

From 2001 to 2009, the hot and sexy young actress starred in six Harry Potter films. The final two installments of the series: the two parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows are scheduled for release in November 2010 and July 2011 respectively. Her work on the film series has earned her several awards and catapulted her to stardom. Her first non-Potter role was the 2007 BBC film Ballet Shoes, an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Noel Streatfeild. She also lent her voice to the role of Princess Pea in the animated film The Tale of Despereaux.

The 20-year-old hot and sexy star's work in the Harry Potter series has earned her more than £10 million. In March 2009, she was ranked 6th on the Forbes list of "Most Valuable Young Stars" and in February 2010, she was named as Hollywood's highest paid female star, having earned an estimated £19 million in 2009. She also made her modelling debut for Burberry's Autumn/Winter campaign that year.

Lindsay, Busy In The Courthouse

 Lindsay is busy these days - her new hang out - The Courtroom. 

Five people accused of being members of a celebrity theft ring that targeted the homes of stars, including Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, appeared before a judge in Los Angeles, California, on Friday, authorities said.
All pleaded not guilty to burglary, receiving stolen property and conspiracy charges, according to Los Angeles County prosecutors.
The group is accused of stealing more than $3 million in jewelry, designer clothes and accessories from the homes of Hilton, Lohan, Orlando Bloom, Brian Austin-Green and others, said Shiara Davila-Morales, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office.
Three of the suspects are 19 years old. The others are 20 and 28.

Lindsay also has to attend a probation violation hearing in LA this morning.  Let's hope she doesn't have to go to jail, redheads look horrible in that bright orange.  According to CNN, "Lindsay Lohan may learn Tuesday whether she's going to jail for allegedly not complying with terms of her probation for a 2007 drunken driving conviction. A judge ruled in May that there was "probable cause to believe (Lohan) is in violation of probation" and ordered a full hearing in Beverly Hills, California.
"I warned her before," Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said after the actress failed to appear for a May hearing. "She knew it was very serious."

$100 Million - Can You Say Cha Ching?!!!

It seems that Elin will walk away from her marriage approximately $100 million richer.

I don't know if I would take $100 million for the embarrassment she was put through in front of the whole world

As one source with direct knowledge of the terms of the divorce tells TMZ, "She'll be getting close to $100,000,000." 

There have been reports Elin would score $750 million, but we have confirmed that figure is wrong.  Indeed, as we first reported, Tiger is not even worth $750 million.  We're told his net worth is somewhere between $500 and $600 million.

The $100 million is way more than Elin would have received under the prenup.

Sources say Elin will receive child support, but we do not know the specific amount.
 
As for the $100 million figure ... this is not speculation ... it comes from sources with direct knowledge of the property settlement agreement.

To put this in some perspective, Elin will be getting 10 times what Rachel Uchitel scored from Tiger.
