Dina Lohan's endless Twitter-rant...

I tried to tell her. 

Really, I did. 

I specifically told Dina "do NOT argue on Twitter. 

It's the internet equivalent of an API wire".  

But did she listen to me... nooo! 

Instead, last night beginning at around 3pm and continuing intermittently through 1am CST, Mrs.Lohan defended, scathed, chastised and chided any member of the Twitter nation who engaged her.  

Beginning with a rant in criticism of Twitter's 140 character limit, a limit she likened to censoring,

to her diatribes in defense of her evening out,

and rounded out by some chastising in defense of her daughter;

Dina unleashed it from all angles and often, all at the same time. And while I'm certain some of it was heartfelt and de riguer for the tumultuous Lohan School of Celebrity Parenting, I can't help but wonder how much of it was necessary or beneficial.  I do know one thing, were I Lindsay or Alie, I would rather my mother not Twitter. 

Not at all.

Broadway honors it's star and mourns a loss....

Yesterday, Broadway fell dark when the lights went dim honoring the legendary Natasha Richardson. The star was only 45 when she died Wednesday, after falling in a ski accident in Montreal.

Her husband Liam Neeson was visibly grief stricken as he witnessed the industry's solemn act in homage to it's fallen star. Although on hand for the event, Neeson spoke briefly only to Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick, before leaving moments later in his vehicle.

The Daily News reported, "The Broadway community is shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic loss of one of our finest young actresses," by Charlotte St. Martin, who heads The Broadway League.

Mimi wants a new mansion.. and a MANSION she shall have!!

When you're Mariah Carey, the world is but an oyster at your feet. So when contemplating a trans-coastal move from your palatial French styled penthouse in New York, it's only expected that your L.A. estate would be equally as opulent. And in true fashion, Ms. Mimi will have nothing but the best.

Feast your eyes upon the Fleur de Lys, the world's most expensive estate, which is listed at $125 million. " The the palatial 15-bedroom mansion in Beverly Hills (above) was built by Texan billionaire David Saperstein. The five-acre estate is home to a 41,000-square foot French limestone mansion inspired by France's magnificent Vaux le Vicomte palace outside Paris. It features Italian marble walls, French limestone floors, gold-embossed leather wall coverings, gold-leaf crown moldings, a ballroom with ceiling frescoes, a library complete with rare books, two kitchens and a screening room with seating for 50. "


And having already placed her offer on the property, it seems that Mimi intends to make this the future home of Ms. Carey, Mr. Cannon and all their Hello Kitty Babies.

Marilyn wants Dita back...

As if we all didn't see it coming - what with Evan Rachel Wood morphing into a Dita clone while with Marilyn and immediately back to her former self once without him - but it seems that Marilyn Manson wants his dear Dita back.

In a recent interview with Inked Magazine, Dita is quoted as saying:

"He’s been in touch a little. The apologies come, and he was like, 'I made a big mistake'. And I'm like, 'Yeah, yeah, I know. Go ahead and say what you need to say to feel better and to sleep at night.'
"Right now I’ve got three (men). They're all in different parts of the world... That's my biggest sin - juggling men."

Seems that Dita isn't falling for the old come-groveling-back trick. Marilyn, I suggest you work on finding yourself another clone.

Love in a bear-ish market

Every time I open my mail, or watch the market updates, I wish I had an economic woobie - a simple source of consolation, something that shared in my financial pains - to snuggle and hug and recover from the day's stock falls.

Little did I knew, my meanial currency companion was out there waiting for me!




Vivre.com calls the Dollar Teddy Bear by Johnny Swing " Cuddly consolidation for a bear market". Made entirely out of dollar bills, Dollar Teddy Bear can be your (and my) go anywhere, ready anytime, economic woobie - ready to ease away th stress and pains of another day in a failing economy. All of this, for the nominal price of $1,250.

Something tells me, I'll be crying into my pillow for a while to come.

The new Jai-Ho. Did we REALLY need it?

With the bat of a false lash and the swivel of a hip, the Pussy Cat Doldrums have remade the A.R. Rahman, Slumdog Millionaire hit - Jai Ho!

Jai Ho you ask; yes Jai Ho! The song that just won an Oscar? Yes, that one.
The song that left everyone dancing in the aisles at the end of the movie? YES, for goodness sake, YES!!! THAT Jai Ho.

I'm sure A.R. felt the seduction of distribution royalties and future movie soundtrack; and who can blame the PCD's for jumping on the opportunity to infuse their already waning careers with an step-by-step remake of an indisputable hit. But overwhelmingly this remake reeks of how the industry imposed limitations on the intellect and cultural compassion of their consumers.

An assumption that since Jai Ho's words and musicianship are not of our own, we couldn't embrace it's spirited rhythms and infectious anthem. You know what I say? Don't believe them.

So it begins...

Before I begin I have to say, that this blog has been in the making for many-many moons now.

If I had a quarter for all the times I've been called for a gossip update, told I should write a blog or asked for my opinion on a recent happening, I'd be perched atop a big ol' pile of shiny coins right now. ;0)

So in homage to everyone who has ever asked my thoughts, wanted me to "look into the details and let them know" or told me I was the living version of the Enquirer - this blogs' for you dahlings!
