arrival | Cyril Wong  
During our first few dates, we
scribbled our confessions on paper,

sending them like fast-forward
letters back and forth across the table.

Then you relented and taught me sign-
language, demonstrating how "like"

is the drawing forth of an invisible
string from the centre of your chest

like a loosened thread, freed from
the constraining fabric of your body,

while "love" is the crossing of
both arms in an act of self-defence

and a warning, or simply that "X"
which marks the point of arrival

upon the very treasure map of you.

Heidi Montag Fake Pregnancy

 Image and video hosting by TinyPic


The fourth season of The Hills won’t premiere on MTV until this August, but the show’s most passionate fame mongers have already devised an unbelievable scam in an effort to steal the spotlight from L.C and the rest of the gang. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

“This summer, Heidi plans to wear loose clothes and even strap on some padding around her waist to make it appear as if she’s about three months along.”

“The plan is to get the baby rumor mill going so she can get photographed more. She and Spencer won’t confirm or deny the pregnancy so they can keep everyone guessing.”

E-mail from VA worker says to avoid PTSD diagnosis  
An internal e-mail written by a Veterans Affairs Department employee suggested avoiding a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder for veterans and instead considering a diagnosis that might result in a lower disability payment.

A copy of the e-mail was distributed Thursday by the groups Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a congressional watchdog group, and VoteVets.org. The e-mail dated March 20 had been forwarded to VoteVets.org, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans lobbying group opposed to the Bush administration's handling of the war and veterans issues.

The name of the sender and the recipients were blacked out by the groups. The e-mail has the subject title "Suggestion."

"Given that we are having more and more compensation seeking veterans, I'd like to suggest that we refrain from giving a diagnosis of PTSD straight out. Consider a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder, R/O PTSD," the e-mail said.

It also said, "Additionally, we really don't or have time to do the extensive testing that should be done to determine PTSD."

Some news on the worst Idol ever  
Remember Taylor Hicks? The one who somehow managed to win in a season that had Kellie Pickler, Chris Daughtry, Elliott Yamin, Katharine McPhee, Paris Bennett, Bucky Covington and Mandisa? He's the latest Idol to go to Broadway, appropriately in a show that was cast via reality TV...



The revival of "Grease," at the Brooks Atkinson Theater, was born from reality talent show and will survive by reality talent show. Taylor Hicks, the 2006 “American Idol” winner and captain of the so-called soul patrol, will step into the role of Teen Angel from June 6 to Sept. 7.

Chris Matthews lays the smackdown.  


Radio host Kevin James on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, May 15, 2008. Kevin James tries to defend Bush's views that Obama's actions are "appeasement." Only problem? He has no idea what appeasement means.


You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Haylie Duff to star as psycho ex girlfriend  


Sam Huntington and Haylie Duff are in negotiations to star in “Tug,” an indie film from writer-director Abram Makowka that will be one of the first features to film in Michigan since the announcement in April of the state’s 40% film tax incentive program.

Set in small-town Michigan, “Tug” centers on a guy (Huntington) whose life begins to unravel when he is torn between staying with his current girlfriend or going back to his psycho ex (Duff).

TicTock Studios’ Hopwood DePree and Rebecca Green are producing and financing. Production will begin in June.

Haylie is getting lots of work lately! Expect her debut album to drop in the coming months.

Some Blind Items

#1 - I don't think the parents of this B- list television actress who is way under the legal age of consent would be thrilled to know she is sleeping with her much older television B+ list actor co-star.

#2 - This is the funniest one I have ever got from the accountant. This celebutard is engaged to a B list film actress with A+ name recognition. He spent $34,000 on porn last year, and tried to claim it as a deduction for business purposes. He had each and every receipt for all the porn. All of it. He claimed that he needed it to see the proper way to act in a love scene. When the accountant reminded him he wasn't even an actor, our celebutard said something to the effect of, "I've got my girlfriend believing I'm the best guy in the world. I'm a great actor." They chose not to try and deduct the porn.

E-MAIL

Lastly, D, I wanted to be rich.
I would give you money to visit
and pay the taxi driver twice the fare.

That's a lie!
It was only a partly charitable wish.
I wanted to eat and dress like a pharoah or rani,
to be part of that drama in the elevator at Tiffany's.

Do I covet money?
Of course! To fly over.
Wouldn't it be nice to get in bed,
listen to Ella and Louis, and neck all night?

What a wonderful century
think of all its glory
and how we met over coffee
we ate cake all evening.
We didn't do anything for anybody else
on that fateful day.

-- Reetika Vazirani
