By now, most of you have hopefully seen The Hills villain Spencer Pratt’s legendary appearance on David Letterman, where he was systematically skewered for statements that included this gem:
“Seriously though, I won’t go to a club now for less than $100,000.”
He’s a charmer, that one.
However, the tabloids have the real scoop, as reported in the June 30 print issue of OK!:
But OK! heard he and Heidi Montag attended the PinkIsTheNewBlog party, sponsored by Nestea, for free.
PinkIsTheNewBlog.com has photos of His Douchiness being — what else? — a total ham at the relaunch.
I mean really, who would give him even a free mojito to appear at their club?
ETA: Sorry guys, those YouTube jerks are no longer letting us embed the video. You can watch it here though.
Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova was bashed in the Brazilian press as too fat after walking the runway in the Cia Maritima show during Sao Paolo Fashion Week:
An article in a Brazilian paper about the leggy 5′11″ Kurkova described how “shocked” the audience was when she appeared looking uncharacteristically chubby with “cellulite on her butt.”
Btw, the photo at right was taken on Tuesday in Brazil. Yeah, what a fattie, right?
The thing that gets me is that the same Brazilian press was up in arms after Ana Carolina Reston, a local model, died of anorexia in 2006. Standing at 5′7″, she was 88 pounds at her death. It was pretty much 24-hour news coverage at the time:
“Take care for your children because their loss is irreparable,” Reston’s mother, Miriam, told the O Globo newspaper. “Nothing can make the pain go away. No money in the world is worth the life of your child.”
…
“I noticed something was wrong when she returned from Japan,” Miriam told the Estado de Sao Paulo newspaper. “She was too thin when she returned and when I told her to eat something, she would say: ‘Mom please don’t fight with me; there is nothing wrong with me, I’m fine.’”
It’s entirely possible that the some members of the Cia Maritima audience were as horrified as the newspaper claims, but is broadcasting that opinion news? I would say this sort of criticism of someone as gorgeous as she is qualifies as a mixed media message.
When James “Focus On the Family” Dobson went on his recent rant about how Barack Obama is supposedly “deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology,” you just knew it was only a matter of time before some enterprising journalist found an example of Dobson doing the same thing.
Well, Jon Stewart at The Daily Show found it. Close enough. But much funnier.
Dobson’s argument — and many evangelical Christians would back him up on this, by the way — was that Obama shouldn’t be citing the Old Testament for anything. Obama had cited verses in the book of Leviticus on the legitimacy of slavery, and the “abomination” of eating shellfish, even though Christians believe the Jesus-era New Testament made Old Testament books like Leviticus obsolete.
But just last year, Dobson himself quoted Leviticus on Larry King Live to defend the late Rev. Jerry Falwell’s longstanding hatred of gays. Or as Stewart put it:
“Oh, right, I forgot … it’s okay if you’re talking about the [insert sing-song voice here] ho-mos! Still, I wouldn’t mention Leviticus to Larry King. I mean, he was there. I mean — this is true — Lot’s wife was actually Larry’s third wife. He married her post-pillar-of-salt.”
