TC wills it this way

It's official: TC is telling the world to call Katie Kate from now on... First she changed her religion, now her name. In what other areas of her life will Katie bend over for TC?

Actress and brand-new baby’s momma, Katie Holmes has changed more than her religion since she started dating Scientology poster boy, Tom Cruise. Now through his influence, she also altered her first name.

The former "Dawson's Creek" star converted to Scientology when she began her relationship with Tom Cruise. After discussing the issue of names with Cruise, the two have decided her Christian name "Katie" sounds too young for a 27-year-old and is now known to friends and family as "Kate."

Tom explains, "Katie is a young girl's name. Her name is Kate now – she's a child-bearing woman." [All Headline News]

Snarky Sayonara, week 10

Ding dong, the Pickle is gone, she's GONE!!! And speaking of ding dongs, she is one, and she can go back to her steady diet of Ding Dongs down in North Caro-ly-naaa, y'all. "I'm a whaaaat??? A mink? I luuuuve SAL-MUN and I tried some weird seafooood called cali-mary." Goodbye, you snaggletooth monster. Keep it real. Tell yo daddy in the slammer that we say "Howdy" and hug that grandpa Clyyyyyyde of yours. Embrace that old man, he's the only one who loves your dumb-as-rocks pile-of-noodles mushy shit in that skull of yours that we normally refer to as a brain.

It's truly ova for me

An exchange between Joan and I this morning...

Melissa: It was bad enough before, now it's beyond words.

Joan: Lol. You're telling me you watched The View...?

Melissa: No, but just the theory of it is atrocious. I mean, five annoying, bickering, nagging hags. And now one hag leaves to be replaced by the epitome of the annoying, bickering, nagging hag.

Tonight on Idol

If Kellie Pickle doesn't go, then you fuckers are as dumb as she is.

Paula is clinically insane

If you missed American Idol last night, oh boy, you missed a shitload of quality crap.

Paula cried.


Simon laughed.


Paula flashed her finger guns.


Paula summoned an "Amen" (that she did not get, BTW).


Paula lurched.


Paula flashed her finger guns, again.


Paula, clueless, demanded: "Can I get a WHAT, WHAT?"

And a good time was had by all.

This man needs Ritalin

TC ended up going to Rome for the MI:3 premiere after it was thought that he wasn't going to attend. There, he managed to jump on a car.


Hmmm...doesn't this remind you of something?

Ryan and Paula are fighting

Seems like Ryan and Paula are on the verge of a catfight. Both have been jabbing one another on separate appearances on Leno.

In Seacrest's March 30 appearance, Leno said that Abdul had seemed "a little loopy" on a recent episode of Idol to which Seacrest replied, "Well, have you listened to her album?" When Leno playfully asked whether Abdul had been drinking, Seacrest answered, "Hey look, I don't look in their cups to see what's sitting before them on that table. But at times I feel like we have reeled her in."

Abdul, 43, had a chance to shoot back when she appeared on the show on April 10. Leno brought out an issue of Rolling Stone magazine that featured the three Idol judges prominently on the cover (and Seacrest in a small photo) and asked whether Seacrest was mad about being excluded. "I heard plenty mad," replied Abdul.

Next, Leno asked whether Seacrest was dating Teri Hatcher since the pair had been photographed kissing. "He only kisses the mirror," said Abdul. "And honestly, do you think Teri Hatcher is that desperate of a housewife?"

In the weeks after Abdul's Leno appearance, Seacrest frequently approached the judges' table during Idol commercial breaks, but usually spoke only to Cowell and Randy Jackson. [People]

The greatest comments on Idol came in an episode that aired a few days after the Ryan/Teri Hatcher make-out pics emerged. Ryan had a beard in this episode.

During his chat with Mandisa, Ryan told Simon Cowell, "And if you read the dictionary, you'd know what 'constructive' means." Simon replied, "Ryan, with respect, I'm not the one trying to look like someone out of 'Desperate Housewives.' Lose the beard." [Reality Blurred]

Richie Richards

Looks like Denise and Richie are hooking up, both in the middle of break-ups, her from Charlie Sheen and him from Heather Locklear. Talk 'bout not wasting any time.

On Saturday, Richards, 35, and Sambora, 46, the soon-to-be ex-husband of Heather Locklear, arrived at Le Café in the Westlake Village neighborhood outside Los Angeles at about 5 p.m. in separate cars. In the parking lot, the two kissed then walked hand-in-hand, smiling and chatting the entire way as they headed for the restaurant.

Inside, they shared a table in the covered patio where they gazed into each other's eyes and held hands across the table. Eventually, Richards planted a kiss on Sambora's hand – and he returned the gesture, kissing hers. They then kissed again on the lips.

They left the restaurant at 5:45 p.m. in the same car together. Sambora has a home in Westlake Village.

On Friday, Richards filed a 17-page court document claiming that her estranged husband, Charlie Sheen, had threatened to kill her. The actress also claims that during their marriage, Sheen abused prescription medication, had violent mood swings, was a compulsive gambler and visited pornography Web sites featuring "very young girls." Sheen has called Richards' claims "vile" and "baseless."

In February, Sambora – who's the guitarist for Bon Jovi – split from Locklear, his wife of 11 years. The couple have an 8-year-old daughter, Ava. [People]

Yikes!

As big an asshole Charlie Sheen is coming out to be, Denise Richards was an idiot to stay with him all this time. Holy shit, some voicemails have emerged that Sheen left Richards, courtesy of The Smoking Gun. Read 'em here and be afraid ... be very, very afraid.

Here's just one message:

L. Ron Hubbard died where?

Hmmm...seems like L. Ron suffered a catastrophic stroke on a secluded ranch near Big Sur, California back in January 1986. A week later he died.

Ironic thing is,

Scientology attorneys arrived to recover his body, which they sought to have cremated immediately. They were blocked by a county coroner, who, according to Scientology critics, did an autopsy that revealed high levels of a psychiatric drug.

That would seem like an embarrassment given the church's hostility to such medications (witness Cruise's recent feud with Brooke Shields), but it didn't stop the church from summoning thousands of followers to the Hollywood Palladium days after Hubbard's death. [Slate]

First off, tsk, tsk, tsk... L. Ron's body was found to be full of some psychiatric drug. Wonder what TC has to say about that?

And secondly, L. Ron's last residence was Big Sur. Sur = Suri? How apropos.

More badness from Charlie Sheen

As Joan posted below, Charlie Sheen is a very bad man. He did bad things to Denise Richards. He was also involved in drugs, prostitutes, and credit card fraud in the past. And he also almost convinced a porn star to fake her own death and undergo complete plastic surgery to change her appearance. Now, that's just fucking insane.

Sheen (who was engaged to porn star Ginger Lynn and once made plans to fake her death, then have her undergo extensive plastic surgery and assume a new identity to hide her past)... [WWTDD]

Scroll to the bottom of the link above to hear Ginger Lynn actually talk about her relationship with Charlie and the proposed fake death and plastic surgery ridiculousness when she appeared on LoveLine. That's pretty fucked up, yo.

WHOA!

News to make your head spin. Now here's some good ass dirt. Who the hell knew the second try at divorce would air this dirty laundry? Damn, Charlie -- you're some kinda sicko bad ass...

The Smoking Gun reports to following dirty, tawdry, crazy-ass secrets about Charlie Sheen and his marriage to Denise Richards. This time, I guess she means business:

APRIL 21--In a searing court attack on Charlie Sheen, actress Denise Richards alleges that her estranged husband is unstable, violent, addicted to gambling and prostitutes, and visits pornographic web sites featuring young men and girls who appear underage. In a remarkable sworn declaration...Richards also charges that Sheen, 40, assaulted her and threatened her life...Richards claims that an enraged Sheen...told her she was "fucking with the wrong guy" and called her a series of vulgar names in front of the children. The actor, Richards said, then shoved her to the ground and screamed, "I hope you f--king die, bitch." As Richards, 35, tells it, Sheen was angry because she had told her divorce attorney about discovering details of Sheen's porn-surfing practices. Richards's declaration, filed in support of her request for a restraining order against Sheen, contends that Sheen "belonged" to "disturbing" sites "which promoted very young girls, who looked underage to me with pigtails, braces, and no pubic hair performing oral sex with each other." Other sites visited by Sheen, Richards alleges, involved "gay pornography also involving very young men who also did not look like adults." Richards claims that she also discovered that Sheen "belonged to several sex search type sites" on which he "looked for women to have sex with." His online profile, Richards adds, included a photo of "his erect penis." The Richards evisceration also portrays Sheen as a lousy father who urged her to abort their first child. And, when she was about to give birth to their second child via a C-section, Sheen's attention was "diverted to his pager for the results of his betting."

HOLY FRIGGIN' S. Seriously, if he recovers from these charges, he's Superman. Charlie's always had his problems (I refer you to a certain Hollywood madam, ahem, Ms. Heidi Fleiss -- whose little black book did a lot of walkin' and talkin' in the 90s. Then there was the notorious gambling addiction and his inability to settle down with one woman for more than 5 minutes until he met Denise -- so considering his track record, these allegations are most likely true). It would seem Richards is, this time, the cryptonite to his Superman. Btw Charlie -- if these charges are true -- I hope you burn in hell... Get some help, dumbass. If there is any for you.

Suri v Surrey: Potato Potahto

Many have been trying to get to the bottom of the derivation of the name Tom and Katie have chosen for their newborn daughter, Suri. Tom's press release gave the following meanings for the exotic name, sitting that Suri means "princess" in Hebrew and "red rose" in Persian. Other reports lend different interpretations in many languages. But, few have gone to Scientology as a possible source for the baby naming.

Suri is pronounced, not Soori or So-ree, but Surrey -- like the British town. What, you may ask, does Surrey have in common with Scientology. Well, for one, it's home to Saint Hill Manor--L. Ron Hubbard's English estate. He was the final owner, so naturally it was turned into the UK headquarters for Scientology. I shit you not. (For a really funny take on this, and anything regarding TC's mania, head to TomCruiseIsNuts.) That's L. Ron himself (above) standing outside Saint Hill Manor, in Surrey.

Major figures in the world of Scientology consider this Mecca. John Travolta flew himself and family in for a gala... Tom and Katie have visited, too.

So, it's just a theory. But a pretty good one, and I'm inclined to believe it. Even though this theory hasn't made it to the airwaves just yet, I'm convinced the few of us gossip hounds who believe it will be proved right in just a matter of time. Till then, stay tuned. --Joan.

L. Ron's got nothin' on Gerber...

As if everything we've come to know about Scientology over the past year hasn't been creepy enough, get ready for the recommended childcare practices that Tom and Katie will be expected to dole out on poor, unwitting Suri:

"Hubbard and his medical followers suggest feeding the baby a formula of barley water mixed with homogenized milk and corn syrup or honey in the place of mother's breast milk or store bought formulas." [Post Chronicle]

Perhaps this is one of the reasons baby Suri and mom Katie were rushed back to the Cruise compound just 12 short hours after Katie had been admitted to the Los Angeles hospital. No attending physician would allow an infant to be fed honey. Here's why: Honey may contain certain spores that, while harmless to adults, can cause botulism in babies. [KidsHealth.org]. For more detail, click here.

The Scientology perscription for infant nutrition is controversial, to say the very least. It turns out that investigations were conducted and legal action has been taken in some cases. For a partial list of some very eerie personal accounts, click here.

The Post Chronicle elaborates on other Scientology childcare practices (now would be a god time to sit down and brace yourself):

Children are expected to attend Scientology classes several hours a day...and contact with non-Scientologists who could inadvertently talk to the children and "invalidate them" is avoided. Lessons also include teaching caregivers how to do "contact assists." For example, when a child gets hurt, parents will "gently recreate the incident until the child smiles." ...

"Children are spiritual beings, and as such they need to exchange with those around them in order to thrive and live productive, happy lives. Most children raised in good Scientology homes are above average in ability, and quickly begin to understand how and why people act as they do. Life thus becomes a lot happier and safer for them."

Hubbard's advice for kids not interested in learning about Scientology, or auditing? "If the child is even faintly unwilling to be audited, you can coax the child into short sessions, and then, as time goes on, lengthen them gradually," he wrote. No pressure there. ("Ability" Number 110, 1960)

First comes the baby in the baby carriage, then comes the wedding

Looks like a wedding dress is in the works for Katie. Now that the alien spawn has arrived, it's time to secure Katie's position among the Scientologists.

Katie Holmes has met with the owner of Buff Brides, a company that sculpts bodies for the big day. And, we're told, Buff Brides has specific instructions -- get Katie ready to look amazing in her wedding dress.

Now we have the specifics. A source tells TMZ that it's a sleek, strapless A-line dress that is form fitted across the waist and falls to the floor. As for cleavage -- not so much. The bust is cut straight across.

We're told Katie has very specific goals to look great in the dress, working especially hard on her shoulders and back.

Sue Fleming, the owner of Buff Brides told TMZ that Katie has decided to use her program, with the help of a personal trainer who has licensed the Buff Brides fitness regimen. [TMZ]

So the dress sounds pretty unimaginative, I mean, how crazy can you get with a wedding dress. I'm hoping Tom shows up in a monkey suit.

Snarky Sayonara, week 9

Well, last night we had to say good-bye to you, Ace, AKA Joan's Loverboy. For weeks, you rocked the wild hair, the beanie in your pocket, the ripped jeans and printed tees look. Then on Tuesday, it looked like you had a run-in with the Gotti boys. You were decked out in a suit and tie and sported the greasiest, most smarmy, pulled back mafioso bun we had ever seen. While that was bad, I don't know which one was worse: this week's Goodfellas get-up or the pseudo-rocker, boy band, falsetto-spewing, scar-displaying, smolder-face deal from weeks past. While most of us had gotten over your good-looks, I know Joan will miss them for she loved how hot yet dumb you were. Truthfully, that's how we all like them: Hot and Dumb. So smolder on, Loverboy.

Yes, Yes, let it be known that Ace gave me the vapors sumptin' fierce. I swooned. I melted. I got the shivers. But, as time passed, even I was able to admit he was shamefully mediocre at best. Still, the fact remains...HE'S HOTTTT. And I wouldn't throw him outta bed for eatin' crackers, know what I'm sayin'? Farewell, Dear Ace... Call me. --Joan.

It was only a matter of time... Part 2

The t-shirts have started emerging... get yours here.

It was only a matter of time... Part 1

...till Star magazine stated what we sinister bitches have been thinking about all along this wacked out pregnancy. --Melissa

BREAKING NEWS!!! THE CHILD IS BORN...

All hail Xenu!
The TomKitten has arrived...

Tuesday, April 18, 2006; Posted: 7:33 p.m. EDT (23:33 GMT)

"Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes...had a baby girl Tuesday...The baby, named Suri, weighed 7 pounds, 7 ounces and measured 20 inches long...The name Suri has its origins in Hebrew, meaning "princess," or in Persian, meaning "red rose," the statement said....

Details surrounding the birth, which was planned under the tenets of the Church of Scientology as a silent procedure, weren't disclosed. (Full story)" [CNN]

MORE TO COME...

UPDATE: 11:05PM ET -- TMZ cameras were outside Tom and Katie's home in Beverly Hills. We caught paparazzi milling around the grounds and cars going in and out. Word is the black Excursion in the video going into Tom's home is his. We spotted that same Excursion leaving the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre shortly before that. [TMZ]

UPDATE: Word of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' baby spread later Tuesday, with the couple's publicist confirming the birth around 4 p.m. (PT). It was not immediately known which baby, Shields' or Cruise's, debuted first. Both were girls, both were about the same size and weight, both were born at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center. In fact, according to Access Hollywood, both were born on the very same hospital floor. [YAHOO]

The Magic Bump: J&M Commission Report, File #0001

The birth of the TomKat spawn is upon us... at any minute the news will burst off of every TV screen and spring into print in thousands of papers and magazines worldwide...

But until then, let us investigate The Magic Bump, aka Katie's pregnant belly. There has been quite a few theories out there regarding the paternity/maternity/thing-ernity of this child. Recently, a few friends and I had a conversation about this particular topic. A latest spread in US Weekly got our conspiracy theories-a-flowin'. The following is a compilation of how it might have gone down in the world of TomKat:

The photo (above) taken on October 8th, 2005 shows Katie sporting a full, round bump -- we can even see that her belly button has "popped". According to Us Weekly: "Dr. Arthur Wisot, a Beverly Hills fertility expert, put her around five months when the news hit."

Yet on December 14th, about 2 months later, Katie is looking less pregnant... Suspicious?

Just a month later, in this picture taken on January 13th, the bump has reappeared.

But wait: Just two days later, on the 15th... Katie is svelt... even donning a belt. Something most pregnant women wouldn't dare try. You'll also notice that someone (off camera) is placing their hand on Katie's belly... which only emphasizes its flattened state.

Based on the 1st pic, taken in October, Katie would be around 11 months pregnant. Which, if this were true, would make headlines in and of itself. Shit, she'd be in the Guinness Book of World Friggin Records. How, you may ask, can a pregnant woman go from looking very pregnant early on to looking 'unpregnant' midway?

Simple. She's not pregnant. Never has been.

Stay with me here... but fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride:

Rumors have long been in existence, claiming that Tom Cruise is sterile. To add steam to these rumors is the fact that Tom, until now, has never conceived a child (to anyone's knowledge) naturally. His only two children, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, were adopted. People will argue: It was Kidman who couldn't get pregnant, so they chose to adopt. (And the jury is still out on this one..at least until we see a Kidman/Urban creation.) However, another rumor surfaced around the time that Tom and Nicole broke up. This rumor claimed that Nicole had gotten pregnant (possible sperm doner being Ewan MacGreggor or Russell Crowe -- both outlandish) but that she lost the baby. Details regarding the breakup were sketchy at best. Tom and Nicole said very little about the reasons they broke up. But Tom was quoted as saying: "Nic knows what she did." That quote only spurred the pregnancy rumors on.

Still with me... good. It's gonna get crazy...

So, if you can believe that Tom is indeed sterile. Then that automatically takes him out of the running to be the father of Katie's baby. Which means she was either inseminated or...


...her baby bump is detachable.

Ridiculous? Impossible? Fuck yeah. Of course it is... But tell me I didn't just blow your mind. Now you can't think about anything else... and even though it's probably not true -- there's a teeny tiny inkling of doubt that's crept into your mind... don't deny it. You know it's true.

Here are some snapshots from the aforementioned conversation... to amuse you out of this shocking and potential reality. Enjoy... and ponder. May Xenu be with you. --Joan.

Karen: So either she’s 11 months pregnant with an alien, or freak-boy made her wear a cushion early to prove his virility to the the world, or she already gave birth to freak boys’ spawn, and he’s not allowing her rest, because she must walk around with a pillow under her shirt until they can find a way to explain the alien baby.

Nicole (aka Joan): I'm telling you, they have a surrogate tied up in one of the spare rooms of Tom's compound...
Peggy: So how are they gonna cover it up when we see that their “newborn” is already walking, talking, and potty-trained?
Nicole: The surrogate's baby would be the right age.
Peggy: That is so f**ked up it might actually be true.
Nicole: And they used john travolta’s dancing sperm
Nuray (aka Melissa): Uh oh…here’s comes Jar-Head Jr.

Nicole: Were tom and nicole still married when vanilla sky came out?
Nuray: Vanilla sky: came out December 14th, 2001 (moved back two months from October, 2001) His and nicole’s marriage ended august 8, 2001.
Nicole: Ok. So. He was on the outs with her... And we can assume the marriage was falling apart prior to the actual divorce. So, might it not be possible that this katie holmes thing was planned. And that’s why her image appears in Vanilla Sky??? Did I just blow your mind? Or am I out of mine?
Helena: No, that freaks me out too. There was another e-mail floating around her a while back about that image in Vanilla Sky too – that is just scary...
Nuray: You might be onto something. He may have been “eyeing” Katie for a while, huh?
Nicole: Perhaps, katie is akin to a reincarnated buddha. Maybe the scientologists have been waiting for her... And tom, seeing as he’s a level 7 operative thetan was the one to indoctrinate her. Course, since he’s sterile... They had to devise a new scheme for insemination. We’re on to something people... We’re close. I can smell it. And it smells like rotten eggs and monkey butt.
Nuray: Look at the date of the article June 20, 2005. Katie and him start courting and making out all around the world in the months following and then she appears with her bump in October when the pregnancy is first announced.
Nicole: He slipped her a micki, and they performed the procedure. Next thing she knew... She was pregnant w/l. Ron hubbard’s successor and it was too late to turn back.
Nuray: Timelines that might help: http://framingbusiness.net/php/2005/tomkat.php

With him, you just never ever know

In the recent GQ interview, Tom Cruise "joked" that would eat the placenta after Katie pops out that alien child of theirs.

Tom Cruise has claimed he will eat the placenta after fiancée Katie Holmes has their baby.

The actor, 43 — who wants her to give birth in silence according to his Scientology cult rules — said: "I’m gonna eat the placenta, too. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm going to eat the cord and the placenta right there."

But when a GQ magazine interviewer said it would be a big meal, Cruise replied: "OK, maybe I won't." [The Sun]

I totally think he's got the potential to just grab that placenta when it comes out, bury his face into it, take a huge bloody bite, growl and raise the placenta above his head and give out the loudest snarl he can muster.

"LONG LIVE XENU!"

One more time, folks

Katie's out and about again on Saturday. Doing what, you ask? Shopping, of course. Maybe she's trying to induce labor? --Melissa

Katie shops again!

Katie made another outing to shop for what it seems like shoes again on Friday. (See below for the Wednesday outing. Look out for the weird Amish apron dress.) What's the deal with shoes? Granted a girl's gotta have tons o' shoes, but seems like all Katie's been shopping for is shoes lately. Maybe it's some pre-birth Scientologist ritual. --Melissa

Can you say: TMI?

As if we didn't know enough about TomKat, now we're getting details on their sex life...

Tom Cruise enjoys a "spectacular" sex life with his pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes, because they have such good communications skills. The Hollywood actor reveals his sex secrets in the May issue of GQ magazine, declaring the physical act is a "by-product" of a successful pairing. Cruise enthuses, "Sex is about the connection. Great sex is a by-product, for me, of a great relationship, where you have communication and it's an extension of that. Where it's just free. And that's how it should be. It's spectacular. If you're not in good communication with your partner, it sucks. (Meaningless sex outside of a relationship) is really horrible and pathetic and lonely." [imdb]

It seems there's no declaration too intimate for Cruise to reveal of late. He seems more than eager to divulge details most of us really don't care to know. But, how come he's the one always doing the talking? Does Katie have anything to say whatsoever? Or does she have to stay on script?




If you were one of the unlucky viewers of last night's Primetime, you'll have seen the Diane Sawyer interview with Tom Cruise. His insane laughter and hyperactivity made for an uncomfortable sit-down. He didn't say anything truly remarkable or telling, but did manage to cement the fact that he's become so unusual and eccentric that he's barely recognizable as Tom Cruise.

One outrageous claim he made was that his current status (Level 7 Operative Thetan) affords him the ability to stave off illness. It was not mentioned how he manages to do so, just that he hasn't had a cold in as along as he can remember. I'm sure it has something to do with the liquid Xenu he imbibes every morning...

Katie shops, exudes no emotion

Vacant eyes? Check. Empty stare? Check. Dazed and confused look? Check. Looks like Katie's ready for her close-up. Here she is shopping...again. Geez, the girl's ready to burst yet she still finds the energy to shop, shop, and shop.



Oy vey! What's with the dress??? Lord, it looks like a mumu with an apron tied over it. Is she going to churn some butta after she leaves the store? I thought TC bought her a 100,000 dollar maternity wardrobe. Well, then again, I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of the frocks he picked out himself. And while he was at it, he should have picked up some maternity bras for poor Katie. Homegirl's unsupported boobs are resting on her gigantic bump.

Snarky Sayonara, week 8

Buh-bye, Bucky "Hee-haw" Covington. I am glad I don't need to see that awful, cheesy 'stache that I'm really surprised they didn't put you in a straitjacket and shave it offa you. Really, it was painful. Oh, and the singing sucked a lot too. You sang as if you had a mouth full of rocks,... or in your case, more like a cheek full of chewing tobacco. I know Kid Rock is your idol and your hero which really is atrocious that you would even admit that to the world, but whatevs. I accept that you are who you are and that your name is indeed Bucky and that you have a twin brother named Rocky, and that "If you couldn't sing, which talent would you most like to have? Racing." So adios and have a safe trip back to North Carolina. Oh, and can you please take Kellie Pickle back wit ya? One more remark outta her and I'm gonna have to git medieval on her ass, Southern style.

Ryan Seacrest: gay or not? Part 3

Here's Ryan hanging with a couple of Playboy Playmates at Hef's 80th birthday party just the other day, trying once again to prove he ain't gay. Check out his other attempts here and here.


Reports came out today that Ryan used to be overweight.

...in People magazine's new "Celeb Diet & Fitness" issue, on stands April 14, Ryan reveals that as a teen he was teased for something else -- being "chunky"!

Despite playing football, Ryan tells the mag that by age 13 he topped out at around 180 pounds, primarily from eating junk food, like nachos, after school.

"I was overweight," he confesses, "because I used to come home and eat a cookie sheet pan of nachos and watch OPRAH every day of my life." [The Insider]

So OPRAH, huh? Again, I pose to you: Ryan Seacrest: Gay or not?

Snarky Sayonara, week 7

Goodbye, Mandisa. I really liked you. You can actually sing which is more I can say for some other contestants that are still on the show. I think your comments about not accepting homosexuality and hypothetically refusing to entertain at a gay event probably did you in, honey. I pictured tons of gay guys just rooting for you week after week and voting for you, chanting "Man-diva, Man-diva, Man-diva, she's fab-u-lous!" but no more after your comments. To each his own, but that's probably where you lost all your votes. Oh well, now I'm guessing even Bucky's looking better in light of what you said.
