Go to the 2:20 mark. Hats off to the guy who asks Britney the obvious question. You can just see her searching her cobwebbed mind for a comeback, thinking, “I wish I were witty. Or sane. Or anything…”

The Hills, a show so vapid that I need to take a Fellini shower afterwards, has started airing in Britain with this charming disclaimer:
“The following programme may contain scenes that have been created purely for entertainment purposes.”
Wow, this is revolutionary. Those parties! Those petty fights! Those iced lattes! Possibly all faked!
It’s a real shame that they keep up the pretense in America that this is some version of “reality.”
Miley Cyrus has some advice for Britney Spears:
“[T]he pressure is definitely hard, but I think just keeping your head on your shoulders is easier than it looks,” she said. “I think if you know who you are, then I think you’ll be fine for the rest of the way.”
Aw, how cute … and completely naive.
The 15-year-old budding pop star has been sporting a serious makeover lately that is turning her into total jailbait. My unprofessional eye detects veneers, a darker ‘do, false eyelashes, and a push-up bra.
You know what that means. It’s only a matter of time before she loses her underpants, her hair, and her mind.
Okay. I’m dumbfounded. A friend sent me this last week, because apparently a “PETA Kills Animals” website is advertising on a few of the same blogs as we are.
Is nothing sacred?
Granted, with all the celebrity retards People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) engages to hide the ball, month after month, I assumed there was some great secret behind the group. Like an X-Files episode gone bad, or a secret back-room sex cult.
But PETA Kills Animals? Really?
Here’s what the “PETA Kills Animals” website claims: PETA has killed 17,400 dogs and cats in the past nine years, and has a giant walk-in freezer to hide the bodies until a crematory service picks them up every month. In some cases, PETA employees have been convicted of tossing puppy and kitten bodies into trash dumpsters.
This just might be the biggest public hypocrisy story ever. You may as well tell me that Sean Penn is a raging capitalist, or that Alberto Gonzales carries an ACLU membership card.
I’m stunned.
Ordinarily, I would call “BS” on this whole thing. But they have legal documents. I did the math. It adds up to 17,400 dogs and cats.
Before any of you get on my case about pet overpopulation and the virtues of Bob Barker’s “spay/neuter” program, here’s my basic problem: PETA collects abo0ut $31 million every year. That’s around $2.6 million a month. Or $615,000 every week. With that kind of money, don’t you think they should be finding the odd stray kitten a home, instead of devoting so much of their income to hassling old ladies in fur coats? In 2006, PETA only adopted out 12 animals. The whole year.
I’m also not buying the line that every one of the pets PETA takes in is too sick or pathetic to adopt out. My sister once adopted a pit bull that was near death, and a white cat that was completely lost as a stray. It can be done.
If PETA’s not interested in this, then … WTF?
I’m just saying.

Thanks for finally catching up, guys!
Meet Hector “Big Weasel” Marroquin. He’s 51 years old, a life-long resident of Los Angeles, and a famous “former” street gang leader who “reformed” himself by swearing off violence and “insisting” that the streets be cleared of handguns. Note all the air-quotes.
According to around 75 different media sources, The City of Los Angeles has given Hector’s “NO GUNS” program (founded in 1996) a total of $1.5 million in recent years, banking on his promise, it seems, to rid the gang culture of illegal firearms.
Oops.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
The director of the antigang organization No Guns, which the city of Los Angeles once paid $1.5 million to steer Latino youths away from a life of crime, pleaded guilty Thursday to illegally selling assault weapons to federal undercover officers.
Hector “Big Weasel” Marroquin, 51, was sentenced to eight years in prison …
In one case, Marroquin sold a MAK-90 semi-automatic assault rifle out of his bar, Marroking Seafood and Bar on Atlantic Avenue in Cudahy, to a confidential informant for the firearms bureau [BATF], authorities said.
He also sold a Ewbank 7.62-millimeter assault rifle to the confidential informant and a M-11, similar to an Uzi, to an undercover bureau agent …
“Prior to his arrest last June,” adds KNBC News, “Marroquin was also arrested in 2006 on weapons charges. His son, an 18th Street gang member, pleaded no contest to home-invasion robbery last year and was sentenced to state prison.”
Boo. Because Dr. Phil McGraw didn’t charge Britney or her parents for his unsolicited professional opinion, he’s probably not going to be disciplined for “treating” her without a license or blabbing about her condition to the media.
A complaint has reportedly been brought against him to the California Board of Psychology, and they are required to investigate the claim.
However, according to state regulations, Dr. Phil would have violated California law only if he had been paid for his services. And it didn’t sound like the Spears were too happy about the visit, so it’s unlikely they paid him for it.
In a taping of his show that will air Monday, he said his visit was appropriate and that his only regret was talking about the visit:
“Was it helpful to the situation? Regrettably, no. It was not, and I have to acknowledge that and I do … I definitely think if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn’t make any statement at all. Period.”
Too little, too late.
It’s all Tom Cruise, all the time today on Deceiver.com.
Despite all his talk about fatherhood, Tom Cruise’s kids who aren’t Suri — Connor, 12, and Isabella, 14 — apparently don’t live with him or Nicole Kidman, their adoptive parents. In fact, they live with Cruise’s sister, even though he fought for and won custody from Kidman. It’s not clear which sister they live with, but all of them — Lee Ann, Cass, and Marian — are practicing Scientologists.
It’s bad enough that they’re being raised as Scientologists, that they call Katie Holmes “mom,” and that they call their adoptive mother “Nicole,” but won’t someone please try to give these kids a normal childhood?
Forget Boston — evidence is mounting that Katie Holmes may not have actually run the entire New York marathon in November.
The weirdnesses have been documented: how she wore high heels to the Lions for Lambs premiere just a few hours after crossing the finish line, and her admission that she trained for less than three months, which is not exactly typical for runners preparing for such a long race.
The most interesting thing, however, is that she wasn’t photographed at every mile, but when she was, she was accompanied by Unknown Runner #6074 — who never registered with marathon officials.
There are no results at all posted for a runner with that number, leading conspiracy theorists to believe he may have been the one wearing Katie’s registered “ChampionChip,” which records split times whenever a runner passes by various checkpoints — including the finish line.
Page Six finally picks up on the story I’ve been obsessed with all week:
Tom Cruise brands federal officials “liars” and takes credit for saving the lives of hundreds of supposedly poisoned workers at Ground Zero in a wacky new Scientology video…
That detox program, which employs saunas and megadoses of vitamins, has been widely trashed by medical experts, and even Mayor Bloomberg has ripped it, saying, “Reputable scientists do not think Scientology has any basis in science…”
Scientology reps could not be reached.
Imagine that.
It’s been known for years that Scientology is exploiting 9/11 rescue workers with its ’50s-pulp-magazine crap, but it didn’t make many waves because we didn’t see how cruel and arrogant and sociopathic it is until this video leaked out. It’s not 1975. Their old damage-control tricks won’t work anymore.
