"Well, it was a great lunch and enema, thanks. " - Steve Martin, "L.A. Story"
I spent half the week in Santa Monica on business, and I had largely forgotten how great the weather was out there. I passed on the chance for an enema.
Anyway, I might have missed some hugely important stories due to travel, but regardless, before I hit the door by 4:25 p.m. today, let's look at the hard stories of the week such as:
Kim Kardashian was rumored to be dating another NFL player after her relationship with running back Reggie Bush ended earlier this year.
Kardashian has lately been spotted with Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin. An insider was quoted as saying: “They met at a restaurant in L.A. a few months ago and exchanged numbers and have been talking ever since. They’ve had a few dates and it’s going really well. They’re taking it slow. She thinks he’s a really good guy. He’s really sweet to her…He thinks Kim is his dream girl.”
It somehow seems more fitting for Kardashian to be dating a Wide Receiver versus a Running Back for some strange reason.
It was announced Wednesday that Al Gore will not be facing charges of sexual harassment stemming from a claim by a masseuse that he tried to initiate "unwanted sexual contact" with her nearly 4 years ago in a downtown Portland hotel, where he was reportedly staying under the pseudonym "Mr. Stone." Clear?
Multnomah County District Attorney Michael Schrunk said the woman refused to be interviewed by detectives and didn't want the investigation to continue.
In a transcript of the initial interview released by police, the massage therapist said she was doing requested abdominal work on Gore. She claimed he started to moan, demanded she go lower, and later grabbed her hand and shoved it toward his pubic area.
Gore also kept repeating over and over again, "Mr. Stone is hard as a rock and demands release."
Jake Pavelka and Vienna Giraldi, the couple who met and became engaged on the latest 'The Bachelor', have broken up and called off their engagement, according to Pavelka's spokeswoman.
Janice Lee said "Jake and Vienna have split. They appreciate the respect for their privacy at this time." No additional details were provided.
I love it when reality show contestants suddenly ask for their "privacy" in times like this . . .
Val Kilmer was awarded a permit this week to turn his New Mexico ranch into a bed and breakfast establishment. Seriously.
Commissioners in San Miguel County agreed to let the actor turn his 5,970-acre Ranch into a B&B after he apologized to his neighbors for trashing the state in past magazine articles. Kilmer said at the hearing that he understood people getting upset "when you hear negative things about a place you love." 
Kilmer also presented his proposed menu at the hearing - breakfasts which reportedly will include dishes such as Top Gun waffles with sausage Sliders on the side, however, he has promised there will be "absolutely no Mavericks in the kitchen" or he will "personally cook their Goose."
'Lord of the Rings' star Orlando Bloom got engaged to Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr this week.
The British actor's rep confirmed the news to People magazine on Monday. The couple have been dating for about three years.
I guess Bloom finally gave Kerr one ring to rule them all, one ring to bind them . . .
Amanda Bynes announced her retirement from acting this week via Twitter. She is 24 years old.
Bynes got her start on Nickelodeon with "All That" and later her own show, "The Amanda Show," before later moving over to the WB network.
She wrote on Twitter: "Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. If I don't love something anymore I stop doing it. I don't love acting anymore so I've stopped doing it." "I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first," she tweeted. "I've #retired." 
It's too bad that Bynes retired before I could figure out just who in the hell she was.
As always, let's end with a gold image or three:
It's been awhile since we've turned frontal again, and variety is always a good thing. So, pick your appropriate size today, don't discriminate against any of them and . . . Happy Friday!

I feel really bad for Al Gore. He had to spend eight years in the White House while Clinton was banging everything in sight. Then he lost an election to Bush. And now he can't even get a happy ending. Poor Gore.
That story about Al Gore almost makes him interesting, until you learn it was 4 years ago. Now it just sounds creepy. I also think it may have taken the "massage therapist" that long to find a rag interested in buying the story. Now that he's split from his wife he's tabloid fodder. Enjoy the weekend and Happy Friday!!
Damnit, Amanda Bynes is RETIRING ?!?
I watched her grow up on Nickelodeon JUST HOPING she'd go in to porn. This is truly saddening.
...and the FIRST gold image is JUST MY SIZE !
Have a good weekend, BDS.
Happy Friday!!
Val Kilmer looks like Namu the Whale. He should make his B&B into a weight loss camp.
4:25.... and counting. Next week 4:15?
Have a great weekend.
Yay! Maybe Dallas will win something!! Pffff!!!
Happy Friday!
Is it just me or has Val Kilmer gotten increasingly weirder over the last couple of years? And have I asked you this already? Have a great weekend, $$.
I have some friends who are lobbying hard for me to spend July 4 with them in Santa Monica. I haven't decided yet if I will.
I thought I saw on a tabloid that Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush were back together, and that she was expecting. Not like I care.
Mr. Stone also declared, "It's the only way we can stop ManBearPig. We Have to stop ManBearPig! I'm Thuper Therial." (Seriously, you HAVE to watch that episode.)
So what is that, like a 100% failure rate for reality TV relationships? There's a shocker.
I'd hope Val Kilmer would go with a Doc Holladay theme over an Iceman theme. Perhaps the menu could only have items containing huckleberries.
And here I always just assumed Orlando Bloom was gay.
At least Amanda Bynes can now enjoy her golden years.
"L.A. Story" was a good movie. I had forgotten about that one! Finally saw "Bad Lieutenant" last night and thought Cage outdid himself.
lol @ "Mr. Stone is hard as a rock and demands release."
Jake the Bachelor hosted our morning show yesterday, (and sucked big time)Too bad I work the night shift or I woulda walked up to him and said "we told you so, dumbass!!" haha
Have a good weekend...try to stay cool.
WIGSF – Don’t feel too bad for him as he will soon be on the prowl and I bet he’s got some money socked away, so he’ll be living large. But you raise some interesting points. Ha. Happy Belated Friday.
Linda – There’s a lot of random stuff about Gore lately as he has NEVER been a staple of QHF until recently. Ha. Tabloid fodder indeed. Happy Belated Friday & I’ve got to get to the movies . . .
Heff – Wait. You were watching Nickolodean? Ha. And don’t worry – she’ll un-retire (is that a word) any week now. The porn thing, however, probably won’t catch with her as she is NOT Lindsay Lohan. And way to go large on the images Heff. Happy Belated Friday.
Nobich – Happy Belated Friday to you!
Boxer – I know. Kilmer is looking like he has just given up. Very sad. Oh well . . . and yeah, I can’t wait to scale it back 4 p.m. I will get there. Ha. Happy Belated Friday Boxer.
Miss Ash – Doubtful. Very doubtful. But then again, I doubt that relationship will last until the next season starts. Happy Belated Friday.
BostonPobble – He has. Kilmer has gotten stranger as he’s gotten fatter, and I’m not sure if there is a correlation there or not. Ha. Happy Belated Friday Pobble.
*#%%^%^ - Good advice – can’t argue that. Ha. Happy Belated Friday.
Native Minnow – It was pretty damn nice out there, so I would say go if you have a free place to stay because it’s not cheap . . . I have to say that I do like ‘ol Kim Kardashian quite a bit even though I hate to admit it. I almost – almost – used the Huckleberrie line as it was neck & neck. And me too on Bloom. I was going to make a who exactly is wearing the wedding dress joke . . . And yes, I WILL watch that episode sometime this summer. Happy Belated Friday Minnow.
Jlee – Cage did outdo himself in that one. Ha. Almost makes you forget about the last few years . . . and I need to watch ‘LA Story’ again too. That is kind of odd about Jake, but he seems willing to latch on anywhere that will have him (and I’m not surprised he was lame). Happy Belated Friday Jleel.
#*#$%#% - Thanks for stopping by . . . Happy Belated Friday.
