Robbie Williams is Straight
Perhaps if he wasn't flaunting his body so much, we wouldn't have mistaken his beefcake body for that of a gay man. But, who cares at this point, right? The court sided with Robbie Williams and so, let the records show that Robbie Williams is a very straight man.
- And since we're on Robbie Williams...
A German court issued a restraining order against a woman who claimed that she wanted to protect Williams from "supernatural forces". The woman has been ordered not to come within 200 metres (219 yards) of the singer and to stop sending e-mails to him and his management team, said a spokesman for the regional court in Duesseldorf, in western Germany. If she breaches the order, she will be fined 250,000 euros (293,000 dollars).
Ok...what? I'd like to know what that lady meant by "supernatural forces". Is she talking about Pazuzu? You know, the demon that was often referred to in The Exorcist? Or is she talking about his sex life?
UPDATE: The woman was trying to protect Robbie Williams from being abducted by aliens.
Madonna Loves Heated Toilet Seats
I completely understand. God, I need a heated toilet seat now in this frigid weather. But, knowing that this is some part of Madonna's elaborate marketing scheme, people would want to install heated toilet seats very soon. Also, an ingenious way to listen to her latest cd. Yes...sushi, heated toilet seat and Confessions on a Dance Floor. Would you want it any other way?
Usher's In the Mix Flushed
Lion's Gate to Usher...they want their money back. Go here for the skinny.
Annie Awards - Yeah!
"It's peanut butter jelly time!" says Brian from Family Guy. Indeed, peanut butter jelly and the coveted Annie Award (which is like the Oscars, the Emmys, the Golden Globe and Spike TV Video Game awards shows all rolled up into one). I'm so conflicted over who should win. There are three really strong, potential winners - Howl's Moving Castle, Wallace and Grommit and Corpse Bride. But, there could only be one.
Grammy Nominees
Should I care? Should you care? I really don't care, but I know there are people out there who will read this and click on this link to see who the nominees are. I wonder who will win Best Polka? But, hey... the soundtrack to Napoleon Dynamite was nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. Friggin sweet!
