Kermit, what has become of you?
If you thought Britney Spears was having the worst downward spiral in Hollywood, you clearly haven’t heard about Kermit the Frog. Here he is singing “Hurt,” shooting up and doing…things in exchange for…other things. You’ll see.
For more “Sad Kermit,” check out his MySpace. Ten more points to my brother for finding this one.
Separated at birth?
OK, I promise the shots at Perez will stop after this. I just couldn’t help myself. Plus, it’s true.

Quasimodo and Perez … separated at birth? We certainly think so.
Perez Hilton makes me wish I was blind
This has been bugging me for a long time now. Perez Hilton, the self-proclaimed “Queen of all Media” has made a name for himself by bad-mouthing celebrities. But is it OK to call someone ugly when you, yourself, are one of the most hideous looking creatures on the Internet? In short…
You are NOT allowed to make fun of someone who looks like this:

(Rose McGowan at “Grindhouse” premiere)
When you look like THIS:

(Perez Hilton at his birthday party)
Perez, you are not just ugly. You are go-live-in-the-belltower ugly. End of story.
‘Grey’s Anatomy’ spin-off (sort of) gets a title
ABC apparently announced this yesterday, but I was too busy looking at hand-holding otters and 11-year-olds making terrible music to notice. The “Grey’s Anatomy” spin-off, which will star Kate Walsh and Taye Diggs (haha) among others, is tentatively being titled “Private Practice.” It’s not perfect, but it’s better than most of the garbage ideas people have been throwing out there. It sounds like a cross between something they’d put on Lifetime, and something they’d put on HBO latenight. Sexy AND empowering!
I want to punch these kids in the face and cut their hair
Whoever thought it was a good idea to give a record deal to three 11-year-olds in a screamo band needs to re-evaluate their existence. Black Out’s music is terrible, and the vocals sound like a cat being pushed through a garbage disposal. Here’s the video for the band’s first recorded “song” titled “Video Games.” Prepare to be dazzled.
?Thanks to Bryan Dine for finding the video.Otters are all about showing PDA
I just got an e-mail titled “So adorable your head will explode!!!” linking me to this video. As much as I’m trying to fight the idea of this blog becoming animal-centric (see the 8 million panda-related entries), there’s just something about two otters holding hands and swimming on their backs that I can’t say no to. Fuzzy little devils.
What’s black, white and rainbow all over?
…Chaung Chuang, the gay panda at the Chiang Mai Zoo in northern Thailand! OK, before we get sued by the big panda for libel, he hasn’t officially come out. Workers at the zoo have been getting Chuang Chuang ready to start mating by showing him videos of pandas mating (aka “panda porn”). But so far, it hasn’t been stirring up any…um…emotions in him.

Maybe they should show him that sneezing panda video I posted a few weeks ago. It might be just the thing to inspire him to want to become a daddy.
Mr. Sprinkles brings rainy day fun!
Some times I’m really glad I have a brother, especially when he sends me cool videos. Here’s a disturbing/hilarious “Cat in the Hat” spoof courtesy of a new show on VH1 titled “Acceptable.tv.”
Europe still not ready to accept child/monkey relationships
Dolce & Gabbana ads have always pushed the envelope, but a recent campaign launched in several European countries is stirring up some serious controversy. One of the ads, which followed a “fantasy rape” theme has been pulled, though D&G defended it, explaining that their intent was for it come off as an erotic dream and not to demean women. Here’s the pulled image:

Wait, hold the phone. Fashion ads demean women?!?! I hope you’re as surprised as I am. You can put the phone down now.
This ad may be offensive, but some of the others in the collection are downright hilarious. Here’s my favorite (Please take note of the strategic use of monkeys, or “chimpanzees”) :
?
Just a quick glance at this one taught me two very important facts about chimps: They hate being held (note the one being smothered by Goldilocks on the right), but they love young, adolescent boys enough to disrobe them at a public beach.
Just when ‘American Idol’ was almost good…
The new issue of Star is reporting that the fight between Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell (the one where Simon told him to “come out”) was totally scripted.
I suspected that it was fake at the time because, let’s face it, neither Ryan nor Simon is clever enough to generate comebacks like that on the spot. Looking back on it, their acting was actually pretty sucky. And I guess the writers just told Randy to improv some “oh no, Dawgs.” I’m sure they gave Paula Abdul some lines, but then she got too wasted and forgot them.
Finding out that the banter was fake is really disappointing. In my last “American Idol” entry, I said this season was only worth watching for the occasional bitch fights. Without those, the season has officially been rendered completely worthless.
So, in summary… Script: totally fake. Ryan Seacrest: still totally gay.
