The Good, the Bad and the Beautiful
Paris protests, Tammy Faye rests and Nancy Grace leaves Court TV
Wednesday, May 09, 2007
Hey, we want to let you in on a little secret.

Celebrities are real people.

Sure they've got more money than the rest of us. They've got folks to do their hair and makeup. Their houses are bigger and people give them free stuff.

Aside from that they still go to the bathroom (we think) and if you hurt their feelings they will cry. Then cuss you out and have their bodyguards kick your butt.

But other than that they're pretty regular folks. We also have to tell you that we fell the other day and hit our head.

Now on to the GBB.

Paris Hilton, who is trying with all her might to avoid that 45-day lockdown, issued a statement via her lawyer in response to all the stories about her trying to avoid that 45-day lockdown: "After reading the media's coverage of my court hearing, I believe there are misperceptions about me. I absolutely realize how serious driving under the influence is. I could not live with myself if anyone was injured or killed while I was driving while impaired. Clearly no one should -- no matter how slightly. I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. No one is above the law. I surely am not. I do not expect to be treated better than anyone else who violated probation. However my hope is that I will not be treated any worse."

Girl, please!


Former televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, who has cancer, has written a goodbye letter to her fans, reports Reuters.

Ms. Bakker, 65, said she is down to 65 lbs. and doctors have stopped treating her. "So now it's up to God and my faith," the letter states.

For those who don't know, Tammy Faye and former hubby Jim Bakker ran a huge television ministry which brought in millions of dollars. The couple lived a lavish lifestyle, and even their dog had a posh house with air conditioning.

It all tumbled amid Rev. Jim's affair and financial scandal. Tammy Faye divorced her husband and married his best friend.

She was first diagnosed with colon cancer in 1996. It returned in her lungs in 2004.


Court TV's Nancy Grace is leaving the building.

In a statement released yesterday, Miss Nancy said "After 10 wonderful years at Court TV, I have decided to leave the network to focus on my CNN "Headline News' program and my charitable endeavors."

Go 'head, Nancy, with your bad self.


We're just gonna file this under "Lord Have Mercy."

NY Daily News is reporting that some adult video company is selling a video titled after those three words that got Don Imus fired.

No, we are not joking!

Apparently the company (we can't print the name) is pledging to donate $1 from each DVD sold to Imus's retirement fund, and, if he doesn't want it, they're gonna try to give it to the United Negro College Fund.

Yeah, like they'd actually take it.


We're gonna file this one under "Do You Believe This Chick?"

Page Six has an item about Lindsay Lohan's mother Dina, trying to hog some of the of the white-hot spotlight that's always shining on her wayward daughter.

Dina served as a special correspondent for "ET" at the NYC premiere of her daughter's latest flick, "Georgia Rules," asking, as "ET" states, "the questions only a mother could ask."

Wonder if they include "why were you in the nightclub bathroom doing coke?"

Anyway, word is Dina desperately wants a spot on "The View" and claims friends call her "the white Oprah."

All we can say is "see first paragraph."


Janet Jackson may not be selling many records these days, but she still knows how to work a stage, and that's what Miss Jackson will be doing Friday night at the opening of The Cove at Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.

The aforementioned "Entertainment Tonight" will be there, so they'll have a pre-concert interview with Janet for ya on Thursday's show.
