"Let me be your Sherpa. Let me be your Sherpa up the mountain of gay," Justin Long, "Zack and Miri Make a Porno."


That was a pretty funny scene in 'Zack and Miri,' although my favorite line concerns Glengarry Glen Ross, but I don't care to ruin it in case someone wants to rent the film.

I plan to forsake the movies today as I took the day off from work (we get a paid vacation day to take around our birthday), and get outside since it's sunny and in the 60s. Why not? But before I decide on my exact plans, let's look at the hard stories of the week such as:

Disney teen idol Miley Cyrus was accused of taunting and mocking Asians by making slant-eye poses in a personal photograph with her friends. The picture of the "Hannah Montana" star and friends posing with an Asian friend and pulling their eyes sideways surfaced on the Internet this week.

The OCA, a national organization in the United States dedicated to advancing the social and political welfare of Asian Pacific Americans, called on the singer-actress to apologize. The group said the image "falls within a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent."


Meanwhile, officials in the state of Montana have also called for an apology from Cyrus for causing them shame because her behavior ""falls within a long and unfortunate history of people mocking and denigrating individuals from Montana."

Hilary Duff and Faye Dunaway got into a war of words this week concerning Duff's participation as Bonnie in the upcoming movie titled: The Story of Bonnie and Clyde. Dunaway starred as Bonnie along with Warren Beatty in the famous "Bonnie and Clyde."

Dunaway started the feud when she responded to the news of the new film with: "Couldn't they at least cast a real actress?"

Duff retorted: "I think it was a little unnecessary, but I might be mad if I looked like that now, too."



Ouch. Both of these put-downs were light-years ahead of Jennifer Aniston's "uncool" insult concerning Angelina Jolie a few months ago.

In other female feuding, singer Etta James ripped into Beyonce this week for singing one of her songs during Barack Obama's inauguration in Washington D.C.

The legendary singer, 71, said during a concert in Seattle that " . . . She’s going to get her ass whooped ... Beyonce … I can’t stand Beyonce.”


Perhaps Beyonce's ass merely needs a firm spanking instead of a "whooping," and if that's the case, then I'll volunteer my services as I have a healthy respect for discipline.

Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee's helicopter was reportedly pulled over mid-flight by the LAPD Sunday after it flew underneath and "too close" to an LAPD chopper.

Lee, who was riding shotgun, was released. His pilot, David Martz, was located by cops at a nearby hotel approximately ten minutes after the landing, where he was reportedly suspected of drinking.


This might be the first time that Lee was questioned by police, and he wasn't the drunk one.

An audio clip of "Batman" star Christian Bale lashing out verbally against a crew member on the set of “Terminator: Salvation” surfaced this week. The audio tape from the reported July 2008 incident just emerged, allegedly featuring Bale spewing profanity at “Terminator: Salvation” director of photography, Shane Hurlbut.

“I want you off the f***ing set, you pr***,” Bale reportedly says.

“I’m sorry,” Hurlbut reportedly replies.

“No, don’t just be sorry. Think for one f***king second,” Bale reportedly shouts. “What the f*** are you doing? Are you a professional or not?”

The man said to be Bale appears to grow angrier as Hurlbut replies to him in a calm tone, “Yes, I am.”

“No, no. Am I gonna f***ing rip your lights down in the middle of the scene? Then why the f***are you walking right through, ‘Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh,’ in the background,” the man said to be Bale, sing-songs. “What the f*** is it with you? What the f*** don’t you understand?”


Jeez - Bale might be a good actor, but what a fucking asshole.

Britney Spears’ “Circus” tour was almost cancelled this week as the pop star was willing to call it off if she couldn't see her children while she’s on the road — but now the boys will accompany her.

Spears' Web site posted a message Monday night saying that "both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour."


In a subsequent statement, Sean Preston and Jayden James pleaded: "Somebody help us. For the love of God, help us!"

Jennifer Aniston rescued a dog who was roaming loose on a busy Los Angeles street last week, and this week revealed that she has a personal personal connection to the canine.

Aniston told Access Hollywood that she was driving in Beverly Hills when “a dog darted out in the middle of Sunset [Blvd.]. People didn’t seem like they were stopping.”

The star approached the “beautiful Husky” that she did not recognize, but then "The dog that we rescued happened to be Chris McMillan’s,” Aniston explained. McMillan is a celebrity hairdresser who Aniston has worked with before.


This story shows just how pitifully slow the news was inside of Hollywood this week.

As always, let's end with a gold image or in this case, three of them:




This seemed like a fine series, although I found all of them individually through painstaking research, dedication and with a critical eye. So, remember that good things come in threes, don't get yourself cuffed to anything you can't walk away from and . . . Happy Friday!
