“I peed on the corpse. Can they do, like, an ID from that?” – Robert Downey Jr., “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang”
This was a little-seen though frequently funny movie from a few years ago which boasted a title which reads like a porno, but is really just a detective story with Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer both giving excellent performances.
Personally, I anticipate turning in a wholly mediocre performance at work today since I was out last night, so before I hit the highway by 3 p.m. let’s look at the hard stories of the week such as:
Oprah Winfrey announced Tuesday that former governor of Alaska and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will appear on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” on Monday, Nov. 16.
The interview will be Palin’s first about her new book, “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
Palin agreed to the visit Winfrey after the talk show host told her that you could see the North Pole from her Chicago city studio.
Whitney Houston lost a strap on her dress this week during a singing performance on the U.K.-based television show “X Factor.”
Houston was singing her song “Million Dollar Bill” when the strap on her floor-length silver sequined dress broke on stage, which caused the singer to stop briefly and fumble with the strap before continuing with the song.
It also caused the production crew to yell furiously into her ear piece: “Houston, we have a problem” until the dress was fixed.
In Lindsay Lohan news, her Dad – Michael Lohan – said this week that he would like to find a court to grant him conservatorship over his daughter, much like the one ordered in the Britney Spears case. If that doesn’t work, Lohan said he would try other avenues.
“If I can’t get a conservatorship, then I’m going to take her to an undisclosed location and get her straight,” Michael Lohan told X17Online. “But I know I’m going to get charged with kidnapping.”
In response, Lindsay Lohan might fiile a restraining order to keep her estranged dad far outside of kidnapping range. Seriously.
In response to the restraining order threat, Michael Lohan blamed ex-wife, Dina Lohan and said: “Dina is the one that told her to get a restraining order. But you know what? I’m still going to try to do everything with the courts to try and get Lindsay better.”
It’s shocking that Lindsay Lohan isn’t more together considering she was raised in such a stable and nurturing home environment.
Now that his TLC show, “Jon & Kate Plus Eight” is in legal limbo, it was reported this week that Jon Gosselin is asking for appearance fees of of $10,000-$12,000 for his time.
A DJ for Tampa’s 93.3 FLZ MJ Morning Show told ‘Access Hollywood’ that the station contacted Gosselin’ rep in hopes of getting him to guest co-host the radio show for one morning, and Gosselin’s rep requested an “appearance fee ... in the 10-12K range,” and his rep also added that: ”[Jon’s] name and appearance on your show will instantly draw press ... and will be a high point for the show . . . he’s quite funny, sharp witted and interesting.”
Gosselin’s representative is 'quite' obviously full of shit.
Madonna was hit by a complaint filed by the woman who lives above her in New York this week as her neighbor filed the order with New York State Supreme Court about excessive noise coming from the singer’s apartment in Manhattan.
Madonna moved to the flat, which overlooks Central Park, after splitting from her film director husband, Guy Ritchie, last year. Her neighbor is now suing the company who manages the building after failing to do anything about her previous complaints concerning excessive noise as she claims the noise and vibrations coming through the walls are “unbearable,” BBC News reported.
Madonna replied that her orgies with back-up dancers would be ‘unbearable’ if she was forced to muzzle the participants to lower the sound volume.
“The Hills” star Stephanie Pratt was been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving this week.
Los Angeles police say the 23-year-old Pratt was arrested outside a party in Hollywood. She was booked at Van Nuys jail on suspicion of driving under the influence and was released a few hours later after posting $5,000 bail.
I’m just sorry she didn’t run over her douchebag brother – Spencer Pratt –with her car before she was arrested because no jury in the world would convict her of THAT crime.
Rosie O’Donnell said this week that she is going through a rough patch with Kellie Carpenter, her spouse of nearly 5 years after being asked about speculation that Carpenter had moved out of their home in Nyack, N.Y., and into an apartment in Manhattan.
"Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues," O’Donnell told USA Today, emphasizing that the couple's four children are "a priority." "Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties. But everything's fine and everybody's good and we're still both raising them together. We will both continue to parent them and we're friendly and everything's all right."
Whenever a celebrity insists that everything is all right in a relationship, then the only thing you can guarantee is that the total opposite is true.
As always, let’s end with a gold image or three:
Since Halloween is near and black cats are about and legs and lingerie are always in season, these seemed appropriate for today. So, pull on or take off some clothing, don’t worry about superstitions and . . . Happy Friday!

I forget what I was going to say as that 1st photo has distracted me! Something about Madge...but who cares now!
Enjoy your weekend!!
Palin: Would have been funnier if Palin had ever actually said the infamous fake quote about "seeing Russia". It never happened.
Lohan's Pops: Why do I think the "undisclosed location" will be revealed to the National Enquirer and NBC "news" after they pay him a few bucks for exclusive pictures and interviews?
Gosselin: His only hope of ever getting 10K appearance fees is if he can get Lohan's pop to invite him to the "undisclosed location" and manages to impregnate her with Octuplets.
Madonna: The plaintiff should definately prevail. And Madonna should be banished to an "undisclosed location" with no neighbors to annoy.
O'Donnell: Pretty much ruined the Golden Images for me. Wish she'd crawl into a "undisclosed location" and die.
Miss Ash - That was the point. Ha. Besides, Madonna is just odd-looking these days with too many hormones or surgery or something. Happy Friday Miss Ash.
Troll Y2K - Appreciate the detail, so . . . regardless that interview with Couric was nothing short of a disaster, that will definitely happen with Lohan as you called that correctly, one of those kids would be the deviil incarnate if that happened, Madonna should probably head back overseas as she adopted the accent for awhile, so why not the U.K.?, and finally, O'Donnell can do that which is why I included an extra one to help counter-balance things. Happy Friday.
I'm so moved by the Rosie O’Donnell & Kellie Carpenter story that I can't comment on the other "hits" (sniff!).
P.S. - H.B.A.G. is currently on Hiatus, I locked EVERYONE out. Nothing personal, lol !
Heff - I never you were such a sentimenal guy. Ha. But these things DO happen. Regardless, Happy Friday & glad to know I wasn't singled out . . . enjoy the hiatus as I might be joining you soon.
On the plus side, whenever I feel like I'm the worst parent on the planet I can read about the Lohan family, or Jon Gosselin, or just about any other celebrity family, and feel much better ;-)
bwahahahah to Native. I was so busy this week I didn't get a chance to see how stupid the world was, but I can always count on you to keep me to date. Troll has taken over for Heff in his absence? I loved KISS KISS BANG BANG, but then again I'll see anything Robert Downey Jr. is in, doesn't matter.
The only way I'd be happy about you an hiatus is due to "coverage" being uncovered and you're too bizzy doing what you truly love to do.
Native Minnow - Ha. Yep, you can almost always turn to Hollywood to feel better in that regard, and the standard seems to be slipping all the time. Happy Friday.
Boxer - Glad to help out in keeping up with the news as it's terrible when work gets in the way, eh? And yes, it was very nice of Troll to step up during Heff's absence . . . I own Kiss Kiss on DVD, and it holds up well to repeated viewings. Finally, that would be a welcome hiatus as I followed up on that front this week and am becoming less and less convinced that the assistant is being diligent about ensuring this happens. Will expound on that another time as I could (and often am) wrong about things, but regardless, Happy Friday Boxer. Enjoy it.
LOVE "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" Might have to watch that again. I was going to say some other stuff, but I'm with Miss Ash...DUH I forgot! lol
I too loved Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. Downey Jr. great, no matter what he does. Michael Lohan needs to see himself as part of the problem, nowhere near being the solution. Not sure he gets how much his daughter and ex-wife want him to leave them alone. Guess that's why they make restraining orders. Madonna is starting to remind me of a creepy old man. But then I've never been a fan. Thanks for the news and Happy Friday!
Jlee – You should as it holds up well and I missed some funny parts the first time around. But not this weekend. Get out & enjoy the weather. Ha. And glad you liked the images as some weeks are better than others. Happy Friday.
Gypsy – Don’t worry about going on as I appreciate it . . . so, yes, Houston has supposedly kicked drugs and her husband to the curb and had a new album come out a month or two, so she’s on the on road hitting the publicity circuit to support it, don’t bother learning about the Lohans or the Gosselins as your life will be better for it, Madonna does look more like a transvestite each day as aging gracefully is not a concept she is familiar with, might do a partial hiatus (maybe) and will post about it next week (sorry, no spoilers, ha), glad you liked the images as it’s the same source but I only go there a day or so before QHF so I’m reliant on whatever is around and I like a little more and a little less nudity depending on the mood, and now, get to bed and Happy Friday Gypsy.
Linda – I know. I wish more people had seen that movie as I don’t think it did very well, which is too bad. Maybe it turned out some DVD sales? And you’re spot-on about Lindsay’s father and Madonna as I get more scared each time I see both of them. I’ve certainly never cared for Madonna’s acting skills, her music is better but I don’t own a CD nor have I been to a concert. Happy Friday & I’ve got ‘Wild Things’ to see at 7 p.m.
Happy Friday
sorry I missed stopping by on Friday, but better late than never, eh?
The best thing about your QHF post: Stephanie Pratt should have ran over her skanky brother.
Buh! He's so facepunchworthy.
