Bill Maher Doesn’t Think Paula Deen Should Have Been Fired

drewdraws.blogspot.com Bill Maher is defending Paula Deen. In case you missed it (you lucky son of a bitch), Paula Deen's been all over the news for making some discriminatory statements and was fired by The Food Network. Bill Maher loves to make people clutch their pearls and drop their monocles, so naturally he debated Deen's firing, while expressing what almost seemed like a secret desire to use "the n-word" without repercussion. That's one thing I got from it. Here's a sum-up of what Maher talked about on his show. From The Atlantic Wire: This week, Deen was informed her contract wouldn't be renewed after s...

Kylie Jenner Has A Gross New Piercing

kylie jenner after earth premiere Kylie Jenner, the lesser Jenner, showed off a new piercing on her twitter account. I think it is gross. Not as gross as a belly button piercing, but pretty gross. This is my own opinion. Maybe you think her piercing is awesome. Whatever. That's your burden. So what did she pierce? Her nail. Her long-ass, hopefully acrylic nail. Is this a thing now? Curious about getting one? Here's some info on the process from Nail Art Journal: The procedure itself is very simple. A small hole ...

Was This James Gandolfini’s Last Meal?

james gandolfini James Gandolfini died 3 days ago of a heart attack in Italy and The Mirror claims to know what his last meal was, thanks to a source at the hotel where Gandolfini was staying. I know this all sounds macabre as hell, but I thought it was interesting. I'm curious about morbid things like what someone did or said on the very last day they were alive, especially when their death was sudden and unexpected. Here's his staggering alleged last meal, via International Business Times. It's a doozy. ...

Mischa Barton Goes To The Movies Alone

mischa barton 2013 I got a little nostalgic last night and watched an episode or two or maybe more than two of The O.C. and it made me want to check in on Mischa Barton, see how she's doing. She seems to be okay, spending a day alone in at the movies, but The Daily Mail reports it as, "the actress appeared to give up trying on Friday." LOL. She's wearing a casual outfit and she's being chill, I don't really see that as "appeared to give up". These sunglasses are insane, they look like they're drawn on her face. ...

Rex Reed Still Isn’t Done Talking About Melissa McCarthy

rex reed melissa mccarthy This is one of the more tedious and frustrating celeb tiffs out there. Rex Reed said really mean things about Melissa McCarthy's body a while ago. She didn't respond at first. She finally did, expressing pity for him. He wasn't going to let that go, so he responded, and tried to make it sound like his whole critique of her body, which was hidden inside of a film review, as if calling her "a female hippo" like he did had anything to do with her performance, was out of kindness and concern for her h...

Ashton Kutcher Looks Pretty Good As Steve Jobs In The Jobs Trailer

ashton kutcher steve jobs movie Ashton Kutcher resembling Steve Jobs is one of the more surprising things I've realized but now that I see it, I can't un-see it. The trailer for his film, Jobs, is out. The title is  confusing, but he plays Apple founder Steve Jobs. The trailer uses Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Can't Hold Us", which is the same song that's used in the Microsoft Outlook commercials. Haha. What do you guys think of the trailer, and of Kutcher as Jobs? Will you see it, or do you agree that he's one of the 20...

Look, Everyone, It’s Meg Ryan

meg-ryan-2013-3 Meg Ryan hasn't done much lately. Though I'm sure she's done a slew of straight to Netflix films over these past years, all I can remember her doing lately is an atrocious film called Serious Moonlight in 2009 in which she plays a wife who flips out when she finds out her husband is cheating, so she holds him hostage by duct taping him to the toilet. So really, anything she's done since is an upgrade. She doesn't go out and about much, so I thought we could all take a gander at these photos ...

Anthony Kiedis Tackled By Security Guard For Trying To Enter A Hotel

Anthony Kiedis music festival Anthony Kiedis didn't wake up this morning expecting to entertain us all by getting in a fight with a body guard for The Rolling Stones, but when you're in The Red Hot Chili Peppers, these things are bound to happen. I'm sure this happened to Flea at least 6 times by now. Mr. Kiedis was in Philadelphia walking into the Four Seasons when he was stopped by a slender security guard in a suit who wouldn't let him in. He actually blocked Kiedis with his entire body. And then suddenly, boom, th...

Paula Deen Posts Apology Video, Removes It, Flakes On The Today Show, Is Fired By Food Network

Paula Deen butter comedy central Paula Deen must have realized (or was told) that her apology for her racist statements really sucked, so she made an apology video, posted it in YouTube...and then made it "private", essentially taking the video down. Regardless of her attempts, The Food Network fired her. Deen got a little Bynes-y and posted 2 more videos. According to the New York Times, in her apology video take 2, "she appeared more composed". She also posted a video apologizing to Matt Lauer for flaking out on her Today sh...

Who Is The Fairest Of Them All: Julia Roberts Or Gwyneth Paltrow?

julia roberts with gwyneth paltrow I guess my 1990's time machine worked, because apparently Julia Roberts is mad at Gwyneth Paltrow for "winning" People's Most Beautiful Woman title. I can't even get into how untrue this story is, but let's pretend it is. Let's pretend it's 1998 and this stuff matters, and Julia Roberts cares and we care about Julia Roberts. From National Enquirer: A source says Julia, 45, exploded when “People” magazine named Gwyneth, 40, its “Most Beautiful Woman” – and the “Pretty Woman” is ...

They actually did it. They named her North.

north by northwest poster Kim Kardashian and Kanye West named their baby North. It was a rumor and also a joke that they would do that, and I honestly didn't think they would. But they did. North West. TMZ got this info from Cedars Sinai, the hospital where Kim gave birth. I picture them getting the info the way Alex and his droogs clubbed people with sticks in A Clockwork Orange. Fun fact: North was Roger Ebert's most hated movie. Twitter is making so many puns right now. Even Voldemort got in on it by tweeting, "So I'm ...

Abercrombie & Fitch Annoys More People With A Taylor Swift T-Shirt

taylor swift t-shirt Taylor Swift has a lot going on, and probably doesn't even care about Abercrombie & Fitch's dig at her, but her fans do. Abercrombie & Fitch really doesn't give a flying f-ck about customers. They've made it clear that if you're fat, "try Sears" (okay, that was a Mean Girls quote, but you know they were thinking that). So what's the latest controversy? Some t-shirt that pokes fun at Taylor Swift. And not very well. From Zimbio: The "drama" started when fans noticed an Abercrombie shirt ...
