"It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool," - Mickey Rourke, "Harley Davidson and the Marlborough Man"
I've been in the weeds this week during the my kick-off conference, so I may have missed some vitally important stories like Nicole Richie's trial being postponed and other Earth-shaking issues. That being said, I did learn about some items such as:
Clay Aiken was involved in an airplane disturbance a female passenger recently while en route to Tulsa International Airport.
FBI Special Agent Gary Johnson would not confirm identities, but said the dispute was over the male passenger's foot resting on the woman's armrest and that the woman gave the male passenger a "minor shove" during the argument.
Aiken was also overhead asking an unidentified male passenger is he "wanted to play footsie," an invitation which was declined and may have been an indirect cause of the later incident.
Victoria Beckham has insisted that she doesn't want to launch a movie career in the US. The Spice Girl claimed that she will be turning down any offers that she receives after moving to the States with her family, a move which received a big publicity push during an interview with Matt Lauer this week and a new pictorial in W magazine.
That's very wise of Posh not to jump into movies, but I think you have to be offered roles to officially turn them down (then again, I don't work in Hollywood).
Tori Spelling, the "Beverly Hills, 90210," alum is now an ordained minister, having obtained her certification online in order to marry a gay couple at her bed-and-breakfast
You just know that any marriage officiated by Donna Martin can only end in lifelong happiness.
Miss New Jersey, Amy Polumbo, kept her crown this week despite photos that show her acting "not in a ladylike manner."
Hours after Polumbo went public Thursday with photos of herself that had been sent anonymously to pageant officials, those officials decided the pictures did not merit stripping her of the title.
Only if Polumbo kept stripping in the pictures would they have stripped her of the title I guess.
US rapper P Diddy has split from his long-term girlfriend and mother of his three children, his publicist has said. The break-up comes just six months after 37-year-old model Kim Porter gave birth to twin girls, D'Lila Star and Jessie James.
My gut feeling is that Diddy sampled women other than Porter at roughly the same rate he sampled other artists for his songs.
It feels like a slow week or I just missed it, but let's end with a gold image anyway:
I am very proud of this shot as I just barely got myself in the frame before the flash went off. We'll leave the rest to the imagination, and with that in mind, visualize yourself in great situations, move towards them and . . . Happy Friday!

O shit, I need a haircut. I think I've got this Clay Aiken thing going on today. It's not long enough yet, but I can tell it's getting there. Yeesh!
Then get to a barber immediately as that is a man that very few people need to emulate. Ha.
I see a theme here...Tori Spelling steals a woman's husband while filming a Lifetime movie together and gets knocked up. (what better qualification to be a minister?)
P.Diddy knocks up his girlfriend with twins, then bails...and I hate to tell you, but you better get some pampers because your girl in the photo I believe is definitely preggers!
That whole Clay Aiken thing just makes me feel dirty every time I hear it. You ought to hear him explain it. Yuck!
I agree with jlee: That girl is definitely pregnant or else she has been drinking too much beer.
I just don't get the fascination with the Beckhams. Although, I can't help staring at Posh's pictures. I think she might be a Fembot.
Posh looks like a bobblehead and scares me.
Everytime I see Tori Spelling I think of the episode where the school marches in protest as they want her to graduate with them. "Let Donna Martin Graduate" or whatever the hell the chant was.
As for Polumbo...who doesn't have some off colour photos of themselves??? I'm not talking naked either, just raunchy, playful kind of photos.
Is Posh real? Or a Fembot?
Happy Friday!
Jlee - That's very insightful, and I think you could make a strong case for that theme this week. These things come in waves. Ha.
Sarcastic - I think she just gave birth to twins actually, and that was probably an old picture. As for Aiken, the less heard from the better in my book.
Wendy - She looks like a praying mantis with really large boobs. I sometimes stare myself.
Miss Ash - What you call 'playful' others might consider risque Miss Ash. Ha. And I was trying to work that "Donna Martin Graduates" chant into my reply, but couldn't quite make it work. Yet it's still very powerful.
Anonymous Boxer - I don't like her per se, but I wouldn't mind probing her to find out about this fembot connection. Happy Friday.
Happy Friday to you too!! and I hope you're having better luck then me with Friday the 13th and all. Anyway Clay Aiken looks like somebody's Mom in that pic. (not mine)
that picture of Clay Aiken cracks me up!! I predict he will be attending one of Ms Spellings ceremonies in the not too distant future.
Nobich - I'm usually OK on Friday the 13ths as it is Friday after all, so how bad could things be? Hope yours goes well.
Vivavavoom - Ha. That seems like a fair bet as I laughed at that picture too when I found it and thought it summed him up fairly well.
good gawd, man. Is that you for real?! You lucky bastard.
forced between a decision of dinner with both clay aitken and p.diddy vs suicide, I'd be chugging the liquid draino faster than I nearly obliterated my underwear from the last pic.
Idig - I make no promises about that last pic, but in your dinner scenario I think I would go with Diddy because at least there would be some good-looking women around and Cristal flowing freely (although neither choice is a good one).
