Arianna Huffington: “I’m Not Setting Myself Up as Some Kind of Paragon”

 

Apparently this is going to be the new tack for Global Warmingers who don’t live like Global Warming actually exists: “I realize I’m a hypocrite! How can you criticize me for being a hypocrite if I’ve already admitted it?” You got us there, Arianna, I guess we can’t. But we don’t have to take you seriously either. “Save the planet, dahlink!” Every time I hear her voice, I expect Eddie Albert to pop up with a pitchfork.

Miley Cyrus Photo Scandal, Take Eleventy

miley_cyrus_vf.jpgMiley “I Do Everything For Jesus” Cyrus has admitted that it was indeed her (and not a lookalike) in those bra-baring photos we talked about last week.

And for all you pervs out in the interwebs, there are evidently more to come in the June issue of Vanity Fair.

Photos of the Disney star wearing just red lipstick and a bed sheet — shot by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz — have popped up online. For which Miley is already apologizing (again):

“I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,” Miley said in a statement. “I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.”

Disney seems to be afraid that their little girl is going the Britney path a little too soon, but Vanity Fair stands by the shoot:

“Unfortunately, as the article suggests, a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines,” Disney spokeswoman Patti McTeague asserts to the Times.

Not surprisingly, Vanity Fair has a different take on how the photo shoot went down, with a rep insisting, “Miley’s parents and/or minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley.”

This is pretty much why it’s never a good idea to try to make money off your morals: Someone always notices when you slip up.

Metallica to Give It Away for Free

metallica.jpgMetallica seems to be regretting a little thing I like to call The Time They Destroyed Napster.

Back in 2000, the heavy-metal band sued the shiz out of the awesomeness that was once free music, claiming Napster was encouraging piracy and copyright infringement by allowing people to trade songs over their servers.

Of course, after years of irrelevance and crappy album sales, they’re thinking of following Radiohead’s lead and allowing people to download their next release for free.

Drummer Lars Ulrich says:

“We’re looking at how we can embrace everything. We want to be as free players as possible. We’ve been observing Radiohead and Trent Reznor [of Nine Inch Nails] and in 27 years or however long it takes for the next record, we’ll be looking forward to everything in terms of possibilities with the internet.”

Why? Because through the lens of experience they realized what a profoundly short-sighted move it was to punish people for downloading music online? iTunes, anyone?

Or maybe it’s because they were upset at being ranked No. 17 on Blender’s Biggest Wusses in Rock list last year due to “the anti-Napster crusade.” It’s bad for business if you’re supposed to be all rebellious and rules-eschewing but in reality you’re just whiny and lame.

Perez Hilton Steps in Goldendoodie

Perez Hilton has decided to follow Oprah’s lead — not on some faddish diet, but in speaking out against puppy mills.

Um, except he bought his dog Teddy from a breeder in October.

perez_goldendoodle.jpgIn his own words:

How’d we stumble upon a Goldendoodle?

We typed in “small” “cute” and “smart” into Google and they popped up!

Teddy will grow up to be about 20 lbs and even more adorable than he already is.

We got him at Southern Cal Kennels, Grade A mini Goldendoodle breeders.

We are just so in love.

Our little Teddy bear!

Just so we’re straight… Perez can drop $1,200 on a designer pup — and the kennel will even ship your dog to you! — but he wants you guys to be sure not to do that. “Do it for the doggies.” Got it?

Pam Anderson Shows Larry King Her Two Remarkable … Faces

Pam Anderson, talking about her hepatitis C on Friday night’s “Larry King Live,” as widely reported on all sorts of celeb-u-tard news feeds this weekend:

“I’m doing really good. Actually, I just went to my doctor, Dr. Huizenga. He took all my blood work and went through all my tests. And I hadn’t really been to him in a year-and-a-half. And he said he’s never seen me healthier. That, he said, it’s a miracle. You know, I don’t really work out a lot. I walk and play sports with my kids. But he says, ‘You’re in the best shape I’ve ever seen you in. You’re 40 years old and your liver is in great shape, all your blood work came back really well, low cholesterol.’ … I’m treating it homeopathically.”

And here’s what she said about 30 seconds later, which nobody seems to have noticed. (scroll the video to 02:30):

“I’m here in Washington because Dan Mathews and I are actually lobbying and getting some attention to, against, um, animal experimentation. And they finally met with us today, which is a miracle. They’ve been trying to meet with — PETA’s been trying to meet with them forever. And so they saw us today.”

barbwire.jpgUm … earth to Pammy … even if you are treating yourself with herbs and tree bark (which I’m not buying), animal experimentation is how we cure things in the part of the world where Playboy, not National Geographic, takes the naked pictures. It’s only been 18 years since scientists identified the virus that causes your disease. And the best hope for a cure involves studying chimpanzees to try and figure out why some of them are immune, since they’re the only animals that get hepatitis.

The fact that you pal around with PETA while they throw up roadblocks to this research should put you in the Deceiver.com Hall of Fame, if we ever build one. I’m betting they tested boobie implants, hair dye, collagen injections, and botox on animals at some point, too.

(BTW, who’s this Dr. Huizenga? I can only find one in the Los Angeles phone book, and he’s the guy who testified in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. For the defense. I’m just saying …)

While I’m on the subject of Pam Anderson, I’m not getting sucked in by the rumor that she recently ate a meat hot dog (fill in your own joke here) at her son’s Little League game. I don’t care if it was a veggie dog. PETA be damned, she served the real thing at her own wedding reception. Which she now claims “never happened,” thanks to the technicality of an annulment.

Two more things make me wonder how many personalities this bizarro woman has. She goes on the warpath against wearing fur coats, but here’s what Robin Leach says about the world-renowned underwear retailer Trashy Lingerie (yes, that’s its real name):

“On any given day you may run into Madonna, picking up another one of her famous Bullet Corsets which Trashy specially designed for her. Or perhaps you might see Pamela Anderson Lee coming in for a fitting for another one of those super low V leather corsets like the one she wore in Barb Wire.”

I didn’t see the movie either. But WTF? It was real leather? Why didn’t PETA boycott this piece of cinematic guano?

And here’s my personal favorite: This month Pammy refused to film a scene for her new flick because there was supposed to be a dog in it:

The animal rights campaigner was upset when she discovered she would be starring alongside the canine in ‘Superhero Movie’, because the scene goes against PETA’s guidelines for using real animals in movies.

So much for Seabiscuit, Ben-Hur, The Wizard of Oz, Borat

Borat? Yep. Pam Anderson was in that movie, too. She told Larry King on Friday that “It was my crowning achievement.” Remember that scene with the grizzly bear hanging out of the ice-cream truck window? With a chain around its neck?

PETA and Pam deserve each other.
