A Seinfeld moment

A few days ago, my nephew was sitting on the couch watching a movie...and he peed. Of course he had to pee in the spot where I sit the most. Dammit! It's fucking gross! Our couch doesn't have cushions that you can flip over, although flipping it over doesn't do anything! It's still disgusting. I'm not George Costanza. So, after hours of cleaning and a few days later...I still haven't been able to sit in that spot. Ew!

Getting in touch with Sienna Guillory

So last year I got a portrait tattoo of Sienna Guillory in "Resident Evil: Apocalypse." She's one of my fave actresses and she rules. She had a myspace page, but who really knows if it was run by her. After I got my tattoo done, I sent a pic of it to her myspace page and she posted it in her pics and said it was "brilliant." It was probably just a fan page or something, but now I will never know because that page has been deleted. So, I'm asking if anyone knows of any fan mail addresses or contact addresses, please let me know. I would absolutely love to send her a pic and see what she thinks of my kick ass tat.

This is bizarre

I'm still a fan of Nicole Kidman!

Report of Nicole Kidman aiding Studio Arena may not be true

Updated: 08/25/08 3:07 PM

The News has learned that a widely circulated report about Nicole Kidman stepping to the aid of Studio Arena Theatre is likely fabricated.

The News has been unable to corroborate the original report, which was posted on Saturday to the Web site PR-inside.com.

That report claimed that Kidman told reporters in London that big-name New York City actors should contribute money to the struggling theater. It also attributed to Kidman a quotation lifted nearly verbatim from a story about Studio Arena published in The News in July.

Kidman's publicist, Catherine Olim, described the story as "highly suspect," noting that Kidman did not arrive in London until Monday, while the online report claims she spoke to reporters in London on Saturday.

Studio Arena Managing Director Iain Campbell said he could not verify the story about Kidman and said that no one representing her has been in touch with the theater.

"How are we supposed to know? We are also working to corroborate the story," Campbell said. "All I can say is I'm glad something is finally diverting this community's attention to a very just cause."

I'll never forget you

Tomorrow I will be putting my cat (Casey) of 18 years to sleep. He has been sick for the past few months and then a couple of nights ago, he stopped eating and drinking. Today, he still didn't eat or drink anything. He's really weak and he's been sleeping all day. So everyone in my family made the decision to put him down. It's really the best thing to do.

I'm listening to my iPod on shuffle and "Photograph" by Nickelback came on (yes I like a few songs, don't be hatin). Anyway, there's one line that really got me, "It's hard to say it, time to say it, Goodbye..." Casey, remember that time? I'll miss you...

Oww

So this is my newest tattoo. It's my dog, Oz. I finally finished the coloring and it looks gorgeous! I love it!

I hate thunderstorms

So I have a 5 year old Doberman named "Oz." I love him to pieces and he's my baby. We both are scared of thunderstorms. Whenever there's a storm he's always by my side and follows me around everywhere. Well, right now there's a storm passing through and guess who is laying on the floor in my room next to me? It's a shame that Dobermans have a bad reputation. Oz is an absolute sweetheart who's scared of pretty much everything lol what a baby =)

Yay for awesome songs in commercials!

Have you guys seen the new GM car commercial? The song used is Brandi Carlile's "The Story." It's definitely one of my fave songs used in a commerical. My other fave is The New Pornographers "Bleeding Heart Show" in the University of Phoenix commericals. Here is Brandi Carlile singing "The Story" live. Fucking awesome song!

No fear no regrets

That is the motto of the USA men's gymnastics team, who are doing exceptionally well without the Athens Gold Medal winners, the Hamm brothers. Those men have that never give up attitude and are focused on that Gold medal. All the odds are against them and they want to prove to everyone that they can win without the Hamm brothers.

All of the American athletes competing have that determination and are an inspiration to everyone. The USA Softball team plays tonight and I cannot wait! I have absolute faith that they will take home the Gold and go out with a bang. If you haven't heard, Softball will not be played in the 2012 Olympics in London. It's such a shame. The sport of Softball is getting more recognition and is more popular than ever. I really hope they reinstate Softball into the 2016 Olympics.

I know that everyone has heard that French swimmer say they were going to "smash" the American relay team. That relay was the most exciting thing I have ever seen. I know it sounds cliche, but I am fuckin proud to be an American.

Good bye Chef

How weird is it that Bernie Mac died on Sat and Isaac Hayes is gone the very next day?

Musician Isaac Hayes Dies

10 August 2008 3:21 PM, PDT

Musician Isaac Hayes has died. He was 65.

Hayes passed away on Sunday morning at a Memphis, Tennessee hospital. The cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

According to reports, the songwriter was rushed to Baptist East Hospital after receiving a call from Hayes' wife who found him lying near a treadmill in their home.

Police at The Shelby County Sheriff's Office are investigating the star's death, but do not believe foul play was a factor.

Born in 1942 in Covington, Tennessee, Hayes was raised by his maternal grandparents, who moved the family to Memphis when he was six.

Hayes' early ambitions of becoming a doctor were redirected when he won a talent contest in ninth grade, singing Nat King Cole's Looking Back.

A self-taught musician, he was hired in 1964 by Tennessee-based Stax Records as a backup pianist, working as a session musician for music greats including Otis Redding. He then paved his way to stardom with the release of his album Hot Buttered Soul in 1969.

The soul singer then broke out with a number one hit with the 1971 Grammy Award-winning Theme From Shaft from the iconic movie, starring actor Richard Roundtree.

Hayes' chart-topping singles also include Hold On, I'm Coming and Soul Man.

In the early 1970s, Hayes continued to forge a path for disco and urban-contemporary music, making way for legendary singers like Barry White.

In a 1999 interview reflecting on his career he said of his influence: "I knew nothing about the business, or trends and things like that. I think it was a matter of timing. I didn't know what was unfolding."

In addition to music, Hayes appeared in several movies, including It Could Happen to You with Nicolas Cage, Ninth Street with Martin Sheen and Reindeer Games, starring Ben Affleck.

Hayes enjoyed success as a radio show host in New York City from 1996 to 2002, and later in Memphis.

His distinctive voice can also be heard as part of Nickelodeon's "Nick at Nite" programme and in scenes from his role as Chef during a stint on animated TV show South Park.

Don't be so naughty

The word "naughty" spoken in a British accent is the best sound ever.

I'm sad

I really hope he's ok...

Actor Morgan Freeman is injured in car accident

2 hours, 13 minutes ago

Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman was injured in a car accident late Sunday night and is in a hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

Regional Medical Center spokeswoman Kathy Stringer said Freeman, 71, is in serious condition. The hospital is about 90 miles north of the accident scene in rural Tallahatchie County in the Mississippi Delta.

Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesman Sgt. Ben Williams confirmed Freeman was in a wreck shortly before midnight Sunday, but said he was still gathering information and had few details Monday.

Clay McFerrin, editor of Sun Sentinel in Charleston, said he arrived at the accident scene on Mississippi Highway 32 soon after it happened about 4 miles west of Charleston, not far from where Freeman owns a home with his wife.

McFerrin said it appeared that Freeman's car was airborne went it left the highway and landed in a ditch.

"They had to use the jaws of life to extract him from the vehicle," McFerrin said. "He was lucid, conscious. He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point."

McFerrin said bystanders converged on the scene trying to get a glimpse of the actor.

When one person tried to snap a photo with a cell phone camera, Freeman joked, "no freebies, no freebies," McFerrin said.

The hospital where Freeman is being treated is commonly known as The Med, and is an acute-care teaching facility that serves patients within 150 miles of Memphis.

Who knew Nikki Blonsky was a badass...

Nikki Blonsky's needs no aerosol to make her hair stand on end today.

The 19-year-old Hairspray star and her father were arrested on assault charges after a dustup with the family of former America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden at the Providenciales International Airport in Turks and Caicos.

"They were involved in an altercation at the airport in the departure lounge," Sgt. Chase of the Turks and Caicos Islands Police Department tells E! News. The skirmish apparently involved a dispute over saved seats.

Blonsky's rep, Teal Cannaday, declined comment on the incident.

Nikki Blonsky was charged with assault and actual bodily harm as well as common assault; her father, Carl, was rung up on a count of inflicting grievous bodily harm.

Bianca Golden was also charged with actual bodily harm and assault.

Golden's mother, Elaine, was hurt so badly she had to be airlifted to a hospital in Aventura, Fla., according to Chase.

The elder Golden was not charged, but the rest of the battling broods were taken in to custody.

Nikki Blonsky appeared in court this morning sporting a neck brace ("she received some kind of injury," says Chase); a judge allowed her to be released on $6,000 cash bail and ordered to return to court Dec. 1. Her father is being held until Aug. 8.

Golden was also freed on bail.

According to Chase, Golden and Nikki Blonsky's charges carry a maximum penalty of two years, while Carl Blonsky could face up to five years in prison.
