Gene Wilder Has a Bar of Soap With Your Name on It

According to Starpulse:

Veteran comedian Gene Wilder has called on Hollywood to cut back on excessive swearing in films. The Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory star is fed up with hearing curse words in modern movies, and wishes writers would try and pen less predictable dialog that relies more on invention than vulgarity.

Back in his day, they didn’t have to resort to the pottymouth…

Nosirree…

Spencer Pratt’s Advice Column Debuts

Spencer Pratt, aka the worst person on earth, for some reason is writing an advice column for Radar magazine.

And it’s exactly the type of douchebaggery you’d expect from a slick weasel from The Hills.

heidi_spencer.jpgFor a guy asking about how to get his girlfriend’s mom to like him:

“The mother–daughter relationship is the tightest bond in history. You got beef with the mom, you got beef with the daughter… Treat her daughter like a princess — it’s only for a weekend.”

This from a guy who coerced his fiancée into getting implants, lipo, a nose job, and possibly some kind of lip filler/concrete — that is definitely the way to treat royalty.

But then he threw us all a bone:

YO SPENCER! How do you deal with weak people and haters?

With weak people, you can only try to give them confidence and pump them up. To be honest, you don’t need them around you. I try to put myself around really strong people. Haters you should love. Hatred stems from jealousy at some point. If people aren’t hating on you, they don’t care, and if they don’t care, that means you’re not doing anything right. I love my haters. I don’t hate them back at all. You can turn so many haters around once they meet you. I’m like, “Thanks, I get it, I’m an idiot,” and they’re like, “Woo! He’s an idiot! He’s so cool!” I flipped a couple haters at Benihana just last night.

LOVES IT. I definitely have to start eating at Benihana.

My God, Woman, Let It Be

heather_mills_lax.jpgHeather Mills apparently doesn’t just look like a terrier, she acts like one too.

Mucca has hired a team of accountants to prove that her blessedly-soon-to-be ex-husband Paul McCartney is worth more than he said he was, in an effort to get more blood from that poor stone.

Miss Mills has told friends she cannot look after Beatrice on ÂŁ35,000 a year, the sum awarded at the High Court.

One said: “Heather says she can prove the amount of money that is being given to look after Bea will not last over the year. She is putting it to the test.

“Even with Bea travelling in economy Heather says it’s not enough. She is keeping every receipt — including her invoice to her security team — to show that ÂŁ35,000 is just not sufficient.

“Heather’s thinking is that Bea should not be seen to have a different lifestyle when she is with Heather compared to Paul — and she is going about proving that is not possible.”

God forbid she should use any of the MILLIONS OF DOLLARS he gave her to support her own daughter. Or, you know, try to get a job. Preferably something in waste management.

Miley Cyrus Steals Paparazzi From Britney

miley_cyrus_loves_paps.jpgMiley’s snack-buying tricks have finally paid off: The paparazzi have declared they’re way over Britney Spears, despite how following her around and driving her literally batsh-t insane has made them all way richer than they deserve.

“Over the weekend, there were less than a half dozen covering Britney” despite her imminent sitcom debut on “How I Met Your Mother,” says BuzzFoto founder Brad Elterman. “Yet there were 30 in the pack covering Miley Cyrus. Most of them were Britney regulars, but they want something new and fresh. It’s moved on to Miley.”

The Billy Ray Cyrus plan of protecting his family has so failed. Perhaps he needs to take parenting tips from Jamie Spears.

Saudi King Is A Royal Hypocrite (Here Comes the Fatwa…)

saudi_king.jpg

If Deceiver.com goes dark at any time in the next 24 hours, I think we can assume some Al Qaeda cell decided to go all Salman Rushdie on me. I’ll trust Simon and Holly to carry on. Fair warning.

Yesterday, Saudi Arabia’s King Adbullah issued an unprecedented call for a sincere “interfaith dialogue” in the Middle East. Here’s how the Associated Press put it, and I think these few paragraphs say it all:

The Saudi king has made an impassioned plea for dialogue among Muslims, Christians and Jews — the first such proposal from a nation with no diplomatic ties to Israel and a ban on non-Muslim religious services and symbols …

“The idea is to ask representatives of all monotheistic religions to sit together with their brothers in faith and sincerity to all religions as we all believe in the same God,” the king said Monday night in Riyadh at a seminar on “Culture and the Respect of Religions” …

Abdullah said he planned to hold conferences to get the opinion of Muslims from other parts of the world, and then meetings with “our brothers” in Christianity and Judaism “so we can agree on something that guarantees the preservation of humanity against those who tamper with ethics, family systems and honesty” …

Religious practice is so restricted in Saudi Arabia that even certain Muslim sects, such as Sufis and Shiites, face discrimination, while conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.

The Saudi kingdom’s religious intolerance is well documented. Here are a few reminders of that nation’s version of “ethics, family systems, and honesty”:

Let the stonings begin. I can take it.

Rick Astley Rolls With the Punches

If you know what Rickrolling is, you can skip this first part. But if you don’t spend all your time in front of the computer: Rickrolling is an Internet phenomenon in which a YouTube video of Rick Astley’s 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” is linked to as a prank. For example:

Ohmigod, Britney and Paris just drunk-drove into each other and then got out of their cars and started making out right in the middle of the street. Then Lindsay Lohan ran up naked and started hitting them over the head with a baseball bat. There’s video and everything, check it out!

So you click the link, but instead of the awesome thing you’ve been promised, you get:

You’ve just been Rickrolled! This has become a widespread practice. Why? If you have to ask, you’ll never know. It’s the Internet.

The LA Times tracked down Astley to ask him about it, and he seems pleasantly surprised about the whole thing. He realizes he’s being mocked, but he’s okay with it. One thing about his response kind of annoyed me, though:

…with all the renewed attention to his work and his — albeit 20-year-old — image, does Astley have any plans to cash in on Rickrolling, maybe with his own YouTube remix?

“I don’t really know whether I want to be doing that,” he said. “I’m not being an ageist, but it’s almost a young person’s thing, that.”

“I think the artist themselves trying to remix it is almost a bit sad,” he said. “No, I’m too old for that.”

Astley, who will be touring the U.K. in May with a group of other ’80’s acts, including Bananarama, and Nick Heyward, Heaven 17, Paul Young and ABC, sums up his thoughts on his unexpected virtual fame with characteristic good humor:

“Listen, I just think it’s bizarre and funny. My main consideration is that my daughter doesn’t get embarrassed about it.”

If you don’t want to embarrass your daughter by rehashing the past, why are you touring with Bananarama?

(Okay, so it’s not the worst offense ever on Deceiver. Slow news day. Plus, I just enjoy hating that video.)
