What do you get when you take two superheros, a mistress of a former presidential candidate, an Oscar winner, a prince and a goose? A modern age fairytale? No you have the odd and twisted world of Bret Easton Ellis connections. The superheros who both have had their scandals - you know, the mistress well she was the inspiration for one of Ellis' characters, Alison Poole, the Goose came as an angel to some but acts like a devil to others, he comes with the prince who ganders, and the Oscar Winner well, you can make your suggestions whe
re she fits into this modern day LA tale. But just in case you can't figure out how she does to Easton, remember this?So what's your best BEE take on this LA tale? Or just your own?
Your OMG Olympic Moment
Equestrian Dressage
Equestrian is the only Olympic sport where man and animal are established team-mates, and one of the few where men and women compete on equal terms.
It is the ultimate in team sports, a horse and rider working together for years to hone feats of grace, daring, agility and speed.The horse performs set movements, or tests, in response to its rider's subtle aids and signals. The event is conducted over three rounds. In the first two, horse and rider perform a set routine of dressage movements, including passages, pirouettes and piaffes in a walk, trot and canter. The third round is freestyle, with routines individually choreographed and performed to music.

Bernie Mac has died
ReplyDeleteI loved him in Pride, a movie about an inner city swim team.
From WFT 2:
ReplyDeleteYou mean Jake wasn't carrying Heath's ashes in that locket thingy around his neck in those horse pictures????
A shame about Bernie Mac. :(
ReplyDeleteWow, haven't heard this song in awhile, another of my all-time faves. Thanks!
Wicked, I hope I was clear in my post last night that I thought you were right about Ted's post. ITA with you.
Phew. After re-reading Ted's BV a couple more times, I see now. Yeah, I, too, think he definitely is saying that Tooth is being oh-so-private, but with his GG. Ted can be really hard to read. I still don't get everything that he says.
ReplyDeleteNifty song today, I like that.
I agree PG, I'm very disappointed in hearing about John Edwards, and his campaign manager. I thought he was different too. Normally, I would think personal matters are not my business and would try not to let it affect how I think someone would do their job, but where his wife was so very sick, it's upsetting to think of. And the campaign manager, being close to both of them, it's inexcusable for her too, IMO. :(
ReplyDeleteI don't think Edwards will ever recover politically from this. I am amazed at Elizabeth's Edward capacity of forgiveness. She is a bigger person that I could ever be.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked to find Rielle Hunter's connection to Bret Easton Ellis. It sounds too much like his fiction, but then again I guess it's write what you know.
Sad news about Bernie Mac : (
ReplyDeleteI remember that Jake interview in which he said he was buying two bybrid cars; I always wondered if one was for Austin so he could come and go without anyone noticing it wasn't Jake.
ReplyDeleteThe Edwards thing doesn't surprise me, it seems to go with the territory somehow. All I can say is thank goodness he's not the candidate, we'd be so screwed.
One thing that really has me excited about The Informers is that it will be the first time for me seeing Austin on the big screen.
Destiny said I remember that Jake interview in which he said he was buying two hybrid cars; I always wondered if one was for Austin so he could come and go without anyone noticing it wasn't Jake.
ReplyDeleteGreat thinking. Why would you buy two of the same car?
It is sad about Bernie Mac. The only movie I saw with him in it, I think, was the one with Ashton Kutchner (sp?) where Ashton was marrying his daughter. It was kind of funny - I thought Ashton was good at slapstick kind of comedy. 50 is way too young to go. But then, none of has any say in when that happens!
ReplyDeleteted's hard to read but i think gawker & defamer are whole lot worse. they don't nake sense and they aren't funny. at least ted is witty while he's being cryptic!!
ReplyDeleteyeh too bad about bernie mac. wow. 50. pneumonia..hmm. wonder if people will wonder and how long it will take them to wonder if it was from aids.
don't know much about edwaeds. was alwats told by granddad that all politicians are crooks so i never pay much attention to any of them. they all turn out the same it seems so its nice to know that i haven't lost any time/energy/expectations over any of them. whatever.
o thot it funny that noone here talked about the shot possibly being depo provera or whatever the birth control shot is called. of course noone here would know about birth control methods. [including me!] like asking an eskimo how he deals with the heat, lol
but no worries, it was prob tetanus or allergy/flu. i still say she was acting strangely. not businesslike, general-like. real casual and not private with the phone, car, personal space. almost stoned or on something. something was def 'off'. i've been there and i recognize it. voice, reaction, behavior, movements. i'm pretty damn sure something was going on there.
bee: he can be a real stinger, eh? we shall see. heh.
Why would you buy two of the same car?
ReplyDeletewhy would you have a long ugly lawn-hose-green lanyard hanging from your keychain? oh thats right, to tell your keychains apart because they look the same on the table/hanging on the hook.
I agree Spesh, if she can forgive him, then whatever anyone else thinks doesnt' matter. I don't think he'll recover politically, and perhaps he shouldn't. But it might have been different if it was a ramdom woman who wasn't close to John and his family; this woman was close enough to know when his wife's dr. appts and treatments were, for cryin' out loud. That's cold and selfish IMO. Well, now she'll join the ranks of Monica, Jennifer, etc.
ReplyDeleteI really hope J&A are still goin' strong, and I wish we could know more, just a little! ;)

ReplyDeleteLooks like we think alike.
And maybe that long ugly lawn hose green lanyard weren't your keys but your bf's. You had to borrow his car. Looks like lots of things get shared. ; )

ReplyDeleteyeh and as much as you love the bf and consider the relationship equal and wonderful you still every once in awhile show that you have the upper hand when it comes to his car since you bought and paid for it. you have every right to leave your pristine car at home and drive his whenever you take the big loveable 100 pound shedding, farting, drooling dog with you.
"of course noone here would know about birth control methods. [including me!] like asking an eskimo how he deals with the heat, lol
ReplyDeleteeh? trolly back?
I really hope J&A are still goin' strong, and I wish we could know more, just a little! ;)
ReplyDeleteThink they are and yeah wish we could.
I too hope that Jake and Austin
ReplyDeleteare still going completely strong.
Just imagine being held in Austin's arms-now I am getting hot! Austin must have a great love
for Jacob and a great deal of patience to put up with all this!
What I do not understand is if
Jake was dating Reese earlier on,
why didn't he be honest during
Rendition! I think at times they
have acted pretty silly!!
Do you think that The Informers
will be out on DVD before Christmas! Do you think that they
will completely quit making DVDs
eventually and go to the blu ray
discs?
Wicked, how is Tink? Is she in
better spirits and feeling better?
I have often wondered if when
ReplyDeletethings get Jake upset or under
pressure, he runs back to the
loving arms of his Grey Goose?
I think that they have one of those relationships that they just
keep running back to each other!
In other words, they are just
inseparable! I would love to see
Jake sing "How Deep Is Your Love?"
to Austin or the other way around.
I read on cnn.com that Bernie Mac had had some kind of lung illness, although it had been in remission. I forget the name of it, kind of long. Pneumonia would definitely be dangerous if you had weakened lungs.
ReplyDeleteI second the motion that thank God Toothy is still with his BF, just being discrete.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand Toothy's handlers must be estatic about Ted's new format. Hard to read and the Blind items don't have the same impact. On the other hand, allowing reader comments opens up a whole new world. I went back and read comments out of curiosity and there were mentions of Jake is Toothy in several topics, not just the Blind.
Re Edwards, if there is one thing I have learned in my many years it's that you can never guess the truth about someone's sex life. I've been knocked out cold learning the truth about someone many a time.
"of course noone here would know about birth control methods. [including me!] like asking an eskimo how he deals with the heat, lol
ReplyDeleteThe reason I don't think it's a birth control shot is because I don't think Reese has any need for birth control, now or in the future. I think she had her tubes tied.
Love the Olympic moment with Jake and riding too funny. Doesn't Austin ride too?
ReplyDeleteWicked, how is Tink? Is she in
ReplyDeletebetter spirits and feeling better?
Thanks for asking, Kacie. Tink was starting to put weight on her foot yesterday. She was supposed to keep the bandage on until Monday, but of course she had taken it off this morning. She did okay on her morning walk and was only limping a little bit at the end.
OT, what did you guys think of last night's Opening Ceremonies? I thought it was the most magnificent Olympic Opening Ceremony I have ever seen.
I thought it was really spectacular-the Olympic opening
ReplyDeleteceremony! I also thought that the
fencing was wonderful-our USA came
in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I also was
surprised that Latvia beat our
USA volleyball team. But anything
can happen.
Do any of think that they are
going to completely making DVDs?
I hope not!!
Wicked, I thought the opening ceremony was magnificent too. But as much as I enjoyed the splendour of it I think the Olympics in general is an insane waste of money which could be better spent on providing basically social services like healthcare and housing.
ReplyDeleteM,Ted has had a comment section for a while now. That is not new even if the column has changed formats.
ReplyDeleteThe Olympic opening was incredible and something that has never been seen before and I doubt ever again. China had something to show the world and they did. They only thing that I say shouldn't have been done was the inclusion of the military in the ceremony. That is not the message of the Olympics.
ReplyDeleteI think she had her tubes tied.
ReplyDeleteWhy would a healty 32 year old tie her tubes? She could still meet a guy with whom she'd like to have kids. I don't think they are tied.
I agree, what I saw of the opening ceremonies (I didn't see it all) was probably the most beautiful I have ever seen (the caligraphy dancing), and I also agree that the military has no place in something like the Olympics, especially in light of all of the controversy.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to enjoying swimming tonight and cheering Michael Phelps (and admiring his beautiful body!) ;)
What I find disgusting in the whole sordid Edwards affair is the man is on receord, many times, citing the sacred institution of marriage is for a man and woman. Mr. Edwards spoke his views on the fundamental wrongness of same-sex marriage, citing the preservation of family values as his reason, at the same time was schtupping someone not his god and religion approved wife.
ReplyDeleteAnother hypocrite exposed for the filth that they are.
I cant believe we are talking about the Camry's. I latched onto that one the first time I heard that Jake had said it. I remember desperately trying to see the car that Austin was driving when he took that actress out to dinner. God I wish there were more pics of that car.
ReplyDeleteWith three seasons and an Emmy nomination under his belt -- plus a new gig as the face of OLD SPICE -- Harris has found his work as Barney Stinson on CBS’s How I Met Your Mother is taking him down a somewhat unexpected path -- that of a Hollywood leading man.
ReplyDeleteI certainly will now be an Old Spice man forever. Buy your man Old Spice:-)
Damn Jake has some big feet:-)
ReplyDeleteDamn Jake has some big feet:-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like Austin's got him beat. ; )They could go toe to toe for big bigger best.
I completely forgot to watch the opening ceremonies last night. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that NPH is doing such ads for such a mainstream, old-fashioned product. They're probably using him to give it an edgier image, which is great.
Never thought about the key rings, good catch.
Ted always had the comment section, but the new format is definitely generating a lot more than his old format did. And because the new format often requires you to click through to the permanent link to see the whole story, more people are going to see the comments.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the BV and comments aren't showing up for me anymore. Very odd.

I don't think Edwards' indiscretion has anything to do with his views on same-sex marriage. It doesn't matter if it's hetero marriage or same/sex marriage. Heck, I saw a quote from him on his criticism when Clinton was unfaithful with Monica Lewinsky. He was just unfaithful, period. I don't want to get into religious back & forth, but I don't like seeing Christians being lumped together & bashed. Just like all groups, there are some that put a bad light on all the others.
Just reading a little bit more about Bernie Mac. It's so sad. It was sarcoidosis that he had had, which is an immune disease and it had affected his lungs, so his immunity put him at risk. Hence, the pneumonia. Him and his wife had been married 30 years; that's pretty unheard of anymore in HW.
ReplyDeleteWell, Tom. The thing about NPH,as i think - he`s just a regular guy, not typically a hollywood-teenager-one. He`s outspoken, though people often misunderstand him. He`s just him, trying to do his best being himself. His nominations and the lack of photos of his private life speaks for itself, i think!
ReplyDeleteWe had three neighbours over today. Two men and a woman. The one man started talking about how bad it had to be gay. It was just wrong, according to him. His girlfriend agreed. It was just wrong! He said he had seen some gay-porn several times, so he said he had a reason to think so.
I asked him why he seeked those places if he hated their life-style so much...didn`t really give me any answere.
He and his girlfriend went soon after, as they understood me, my husband and our other neighbour, johnny, didn`t share their point of view. Some people just see themselfs!:(
“For some reason the BV and comments aren't showing up for me anymore. Very odd”
ReplyDeleteOrchid, I had the same problem. You have to choose the US site at the top of the E! webpage. For some reason the international version of the site doesn’t include the blind vice, sidebar or comments on the main AT page.
Why would a healty 32 year old tie her tubes?
ReplyDeleteBecause after she and Ryan had their boy and girl, she thought they wouldn't want any more. And she also thought that relationship was going to last forever.

If Reese W. ever gets preggers it won't be from Jake. He don't do girls.
