Followup: It wasn’t Dragons After All!

You might think I’m following the Brittany Murphy story a little too closely, but no one ever complained about that back in the salad days of Simon Scowl and John Edwards. I’m just sayin’.

I was fascinated with the idea that a sexy, young Hollywood starlet type could fall for a schlubby, unkempt, unshaven type. Especially one who would defend her against the scurrilous, absolutely untrue allegations that her purse was a portable pharmacy.

Not me of course. I wear a monocle and top hat for breakfast. More for you, really.And my purse is a portable — well, never mind.

Admit it: some of you laughed when I suggested it might not have been a dragon attack that killed her.

Surprise!

The L.A. County coroner’s office says actress Brittany Murphy died of pneumonia complicated by an iron deficiency ( Ed.-I guess she never stood at the business end of my rifle), anemia and multiple drug intoxication.

Coroner officials said Murphy had gone into sudden cardiac arrest because of “drug intake,” and the Dec. 20 death was classified as an accident. They said an autopsy report would be available in two weeks.

It really is all very sad. But let this be a lesson to you. Next time some beefy, sexy, and unshaven Lothario offers you unconditional love if you’ll just let him have a credit card and your bank account number, don’t give it to him.

I wouldn’t. Not again.

Noah Cyrus is Roman Polanski-Approved!

Hooo Boy! Is that Roman Polanski joke played out yet? I sure hope not. Because, HAHA! Every time I hear it I laaaugh, and laaaugh.

Anyhoo… It appears that 9 is the new 32, as Miley’s kid sister is set to unveil her new lingerie line for little girls.

Yep. You read that right.

For kids.

Little Noah Cyrus will be teaming up with her best friend Emily Grace to launch a children’s lingerie collection for “Ohh! La, La! Couture.”

Holy crap! I hope it’s ready in time for Valentine’s Day! (I still have to do my shopping):

The company’s website describes The Emily Grace Collection as having a “trendy, sweet, yet edgy feel, reminiscent of Emily’s true personality. She is collaborating with Ooh! La, La! Couture designers to create versatile styles that can be worn with sweet ballerina slippers, funky sneakers or paired with lace stockings and boots for more of a rock and roll look. Emily’s collection will appeal not just to little girls – the line also has an exclusive Teen Collection available to a size 14.

I would hope against hope that lacy under-britches wouldn’t come in size 14 for anybody. But you try explaining that to your mom.

There was a video I was gonna link to, but — surprise, surprise — it comes up as “private.” Weird huh? I’d try to find it elsewhere but I’ll be lucky if I don’t have to clear this story with the judge as it is.

Oh, yeah. This is a blog about hypocrites, right? I’m going with Billy Ray Cyrus on this one. Just because.

Johnny Depp’s School Of Disembodied Politics

Like Johnny Depp, I am a big fan of beatific scoundrels. From the beat revelations of Jack Kerouac to Arthur Rimbaud’s visionary verse — these guys had something figured out. Oh yeah, and they were drunks, deadbeats and all-around a-holes.

But when I read Big Sur, I began to understand how (in very special circumstances) a man can be at once both depraved and utterly, utterly pure. Yeah, man…I can dig it.

Unlike Depp, however, I can not “dig” Che Guevara. And I have no kind words for Roman Polanski either. (Mad props for me?)

Kerouac and Rimbaud were morally repugnant in many ways, to be sure, but they stopped short of mass murder and child rape.

Depp, apparently, doesn’t discriminate.

On the cover of this month’s GQ magazine, Depp (evidently one of the “25 Most Stylish Men in the World” this year) can be seen — shirtless — proudly sporting his trademark Che pendant.

Never mind that even as Johnny flaunts his rebellious lifestyle on the pages of an American magazine, Venezuelan youth — many of whom must also view On The Road as their bible — are being bludgeoned into submission by Chavez’ police squads. All in the name of “Misión Che Guevara.”

Over at Big Journalism, Humberto Fontova explains that what might appear ironic — especially to all the counter-culture Hollywood douches who frequently sport Che’s likeness on their tees and pendants — is actually quite fitting:

Twilight Actor Insults Co-Star Taylor Lautner for Valentine’s Day

How I love Twitter feuds.

Twilight actor Alex Meraz, who plays buff wolf pack member Paul (on the far left), razzed his co-star Taylor Lautner (who plays the even-buffer Jacob, second from right) for appearing in the schmaltzy Valentine’s Day ensemble cast romantic comedy that’s coming out next week.

Last night, Meraz posted on Twitter:

Sorry Taylor but the movie “valentines day” looks lame and desperate it cries out”look we have all the biggest starz in 1movie pleez watch!”
about 12 hours ago from web

And then:

P.S. it has nothing to do with the talented actors in the movie I just don’t like the producer & Directors “get rich quick skeem” nuff said
about 12 hours ago from web

Oh, I’m sorry Twilight actor Alex Meraz. Did you have a career before Twilight or something? I must have missed it. And thanks to the producers and directors and casting agents of that $485 million vampires-and-humans-in-love movie franchise, you’re now famous enough that you sometimes brag about having to wear disguises in public to ward off obsessed fans.

I never knew that sour grapes were part of the wolf diet.
