John McCain Cares About Snooki’s Tanning Bed
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Kind Acts,
When Snooki speaks, politicians apparently listen. The Jersey Shore star recently lamented about the 10 percent sales tax President Obama placed on her precious tanning beds, and who was there in an instant to offer a shoulder to cry on? John McCain.
“U r right, I would never tax your tanning bed! Pres Obama’s tax/spend policy is quite The Situation. but I do rec wearing sunscreen!” the senator posted on his Twitter page.
I don’t know what’s most shocking: the fact that John McCain uses Twitter, the fact that he watches Jersey Shore, or the fact that his Twitter post doesn’t seem to resemble a statement from a 73 year-old senator.

Lady Gaga Fears Contracting Lupus, Campaigns For Sexual Education
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television,
“Telephone” pop star Lady Gaga is taking special care of herself to stop her getting lupus.
Gaga is not currently unwell with the disease, which can cause severe skin damage as well as harming many of the body’s organs, but is forced to pay special attention to her health to prevent her from falling ill.
“Lupus is in my family, it’s genetic. It’s funny because my mother told me the other day that my fans are worried because I did talk about the fact that I was tested for lupus. The truth is I don’t have any signs or symptoms of lupus but I have tested borderline positive for the disease. As of right now, I do not have it, but I have to take good care of myself.”
The 24-year-old singer recently underwent a series of medical tests after her aunt died from the disease. While she is trying hard to look after her health, the pop star is also busy campaigning to stop young homosexual people in America being judged by their sexuality.

Joe Biden’s Big Deal Quote on New T-Shirt
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Clothing, Videos, Oops Videos,
If you didn’t actually watch the signing of the historic health care reform bill, you definitely heard about it or saw the video replay - and not for the reasons most people might think.
As he shook the President’s hand in historic Washington, D.C., while he was witness to the signing of a large piece of legislature, Vice President Joe Biden dropped the f-bomb. Oops. You can see and hear the comment in the video above - listen closely for it right around the 14-second mark.
Joe Biden’s comment (which was “This is a big f—-ing deal”) has now been immortalized on a T-shirt, which you can purchase on the official Barack Obama Web site. The shirt features the date of the signing of the bill and the letters “BFD” in big black type. This is not an April Fool’s joke (at least, we don’t think so), and sources say the slightly tongue-in-cheek T is well and truly backed by the Democratic National Committee.

Glee Actress Disappointed by President Obama
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Videos,
Jane Lynch, who in meaner modes is known as Glee’s Sue Sylvester, thinks Barack Obama is “a huge disappointment.”
Like many other celebs who have publicly spoken out about the issue, Lynch believes that Proposition 8 should not exist. Prop 8, which banned gay marriage in the state of California, has created a firestorm of controversy and is a hot topic of political discussion among Hollywood’s elite.
“Shouldn’t there be safeguards against the majority voting on the rights of a minority?” Lynch demanded in her recent comments on the issue.
One thing at a time, TV stars. The Prez can’t get the war or health care straightened out enough to suit the public, either.

Sarah Palin Goes on Tour
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
She’s not campaigning - or is she? Sarah Palin, former governor of Alaska and very nearly the Vice President of the United States, will launch her book tour in a matter of days.
There are no stops planned for Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia or any other major city where most authors tour for book promotions. Instead, Palin is headed toward Washington, Pennsylvania, Noblesville, Indiana and Rochester, New York.
“She wants to be unconventional. She is unconventional,” explained Tina Andreadis, a spokesperson for HarperCollins. The first printing of Palin’s book, Going Rogue, offers 1.5 million copies to eager readers.

Sarah Palin Abdicates Her Office
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Videos, Where Are They Now?,
That’s right: she’s going to focus on being a full-time media celebrity. The nationally famous hockey mom, Sarah Palin, made the surprising announcement this week that she is stepping down from her position as Governor of Alaska, an office she was supposed to serve until 2010. You may remember her as John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 election (won by President Barack Obama), or from the many hysterically funny impressions of her that Tina Fey offered up on SNL.

Sarah Palin to Pick Up a Pen?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Some are estimating that governor Sarah Palin could make as much as $7 million to put her thoughts to paper in a book. This huge total is just $3 million shy of the sum Bill Clinton received for his 2001 tome. Clinton’s staggering paycheck was the largest ever awarded a former president for a book deal.
Currently, paparazzi are chasing Palin and snapping her pic at every opportunity. Some say these pictures could go for as little as $300, but others say a Palin shot could fetch something in the five-figure range.
Palin drew attention early for her folksy charm and homespun catchphrases. Her party did not win the election, but Palin seems to have won her place in the public eye. With reports of a possible pundit spot, a talk show gig and now a multi-million-dollar book deal, Palin’s future looks bright - and highly, highly public.

Hollywood Stands United Behind New President-Elect
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Parties, Videos, Editorials,
“God knows I fought hard for the other side,” The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck admitted on-air. “Today is a victory for this country,” she even managed a smile. “No one lost today.” Her comments, a shade different than her rabid Republican rantings of episodes past, are similar to the words of other celebs who today are celebrating a page in history. Who, today, are celebrating the stunning victory of a man named Barack Obama. “I haven’t felt this good,” she poured out seemingly heartfelt joy for the new President-elect, the first Democrat to get into the White House since Bill Clinton - and she isn’t alone.

Celebrities Threatening to Defect
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rivalries, Editorials,
Not that long ago, comedienne Tina Fey (who is now for ever linked to her classic and spot-on Sarah Palin impersonation) said she would leave Earth if the McCain administration takes over. She’s not the only celeb who’s threatened to turn their back on the U.S. if the war hero and hockey mom make it into the White House - though her words were perhaps a little stronger than most.
Susan Sarandon, Michael Stipe (REM) and Stephen Baldwin have all made similar statements. Now, recording artist Seal and model Heidi Klum are clamoring that they, too, can’t imagine living in an America where John McCain might rule.
