What a week it has been….
You revealed on Barbara Walter’s radio show that you begged the producers of American Idol not to let your stalker on the show…but they thought it would make for good TV….
Then you had to deal with the tragic death of that same obsessed, stalker fan outside your home three weeks ago….
Listening to accusations that you hit the bottle because of your slurred and mumbled speech every time you open up your mouth…
And now this picture surfaces…
Good gawd…
Really Paula…just because the beloved Nutcracker character is used as a decoration at Christmas it does not mean that you literally have to dress like one….
Bad Paula. Bad. Bad.
This puts you on Santa’s naughty list.

Pamela Anderson….[Art Basel event in Miami last night (Dec 6/08)]
Seriously Pammy…you are so too old for this fashion ensemble…
Your face is looking about 20 years older than the rest of your bod…
And BTW why wear a knit hat if you are not going to wear any pants?
Fire the stylist…and if you did the choosing…get a stylist ASAP.
Too bad Mr. Blackwell is no longer around to see this tarty getup….although Tara Reid may have found her new BFF.
Looking to ‘pay it forward’ with Christmas gifts?
Recently found out about this charity….love what it does….education is empowerment….
This makes for a great Christmas gift….or as a party favour…

This holiday season, help educate a child in the name of your friends and family.
For a minimum contribution of $5, we will send out a personalized “Wishing Star” tribute card which acknowledges your donation to CODE on the recipient’s behalf.
That donation will be used to help us teach a child in Africa or the Caribbean to read and write – if you can read and write, you can learn to do, and be, anything.
Literacy is a legacy for the future.
We can mail the card to the recipient directly, or send it to you to fill out and deliver.
“Wishing Star” cards make great wedding favours for guests.
They are perfect gifts for holidays, anniversaries, graduations, retirements, hostess gifts and Birthdays.
They are a great way to say thank you to your favourite teacher, and best of all, each card makes a difference to a child.
Horrific child abuse case….Winnipeg, Manitoba
This is the most horrific story about child abuse I have heard about in a long long time….
Life in prison doesn’t seem harsh enough….
If only their sentence included being forced to go through what they put their daughter through on a daily basis….
I am so disgusted.

Brit Brit is looking normal again….

Back to her roots, the good ole ‘virginal Justin Timberlake’ looking days…
I’m happy for Brit Brit…she looks happy, lost the weight [that includes Federline], off the drugs and drink and is back to making music….
Just listen to your momma and daddy and stay away from trailer park KFed boys and you’ll do just fine on the comeback trail….
Travels in Shanghai…
My friend Colin is in Shanghai on a business trip….and this is is an email I received from him the other day….[yes he’s always this sarcastic & witty…a natural…]
Things I’ve learned in Shanghai…
I’ve learned…
-It’s totally ok to turn left regardless of what lane you start in. Ditto for right turns.
-Lanes are just a suggestion. The white lines are there but nobody really pays attention to them.
Traffic lights are also a suggestion. More of a guideline. Red lights are sometimes optional in heavy traffic.
-It’s ok to cut someone off even if they’re right beside you.
-It’s ok to pass someone using the oncoming traffic lanes.
-Pededstrians and people on scooters/bikes are a nuisance to drivers and don’t really count as anything. I’m shocked there are not more people killed.
-Restaurants have menus with pictures on them – key to see what you’re actually ordering.
-It’s one hell of a benefit to have a person who speaks Cantonese in your group. That way you actually know what meat is in the pictures you see on the menus.
-The DVDs I brought don’t work in the DVD player in the hotel.
-Contrary to popular, North American belief, I’m not considered to be a Godzilla figure. I’m still short but there are way more people like me over here.
-Hooters still sucks…although it’s way more entertaining over here. Anytime you can have a group of 7 Chinese Hooters girls sing ‘You Are My Sunshine’ to you, it’s worth the price of admission.
-13 hour time differences suck.
-Smog is cool. However, it’s losing its popularity. There are a zillion trees here – replantation is going strong.
-Dave Matthews’ song, ‘Don’t Drink The Water’, should be taken literally by Westerners. Thankfully I was forewarned.
-English TV channels have subtitles and the sound doesn’t match the mouth movements. Take that Bruce Lee.
-‘You’re Welcome’ must be the first thing they learn in English class. They love saying it…to the point of getting uncomfortable. But they are very eager to show you they can speak English – and most of them are pretty good at it. I on the other hand cannot speak a lick of Cantonese.
-There are 8000 characters in the Cantonese ‘alphabet’. Take that ABC.
-They don’t have heat over here. It’s freezing everywhere and they like it like that. If you ever come here, bring warm clothing.
