More Bla Bla on "last five minutes f fame"

Here’s proof that all you need is some dough in order to get a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. What’s next? Grauman’s Chinese Theater letting Kim Kardashian plant her tootsies in their precious cement?

Courtney Stodden, 17, and Jill Kelley are real housewives. Really.

So help me if they cast Tom Hanks as General Petraeus, I will scream. Paula Broadwell could be cast by Diane Lane, since she wishes she were her, and Jill Kelley can be played by Kim Kardashian. Well if the illicit sex fits…… Read More »

What else was Paula Broadwell shaking. Brech (vomit in Yiddish).

So now we should be envisioning the topless photo of some codger or the sneaking around between jogging and taking the next hill in Kabul?
