Lohan calls Obama 'colored'

You read correctly. Lohan, in an interview with Access Hollywood, did in fact use that outdated and questionably racist term to describe the next president of the United States. "It was really exciting. It's an amazing feeling. It's our first colored president," Lohan, 22, told Access Hollywood when asked about the election.

Are you kidding me? Does LiLo think she’s living in the 1950s? Does anyone under the age of 80 use that expression anymore? And what’s with the new look? She’s starting to catch up to sister Ali in the look-20-years-older-than-your-age department! She needs to stop partying, or she’s going to end up looking like Kate Moss. VERY uncool, Lindsay.

LiLo's MAJOR slip-up

Jennifer Aniston opens up about Angelina!

Speaking of uncool, that is exactly the expression Jen has for Angelina Jolie, who was the likely catalyst for the end of Jen and Brad Pitt’s marriage. In an interview for the upcoming issue of Vogue Magazine, Aniston finally speaks out about the dissolution of her marriage with Pitt.
She said it was only two years ago that she found out the truth when Jolie gave an interview to Vogue magazine about how affair with Pitt began. During that interview, Miss Jolie condescendingly offered to meet with Miss Aniston to hash things out and resolve their feud. “If she wanted to [meet] then I would be open to it.” Until that time Jolie and Pitt had maintained that they fell in love after Pitt split from Aniston after five years of marriage. Aniston said: “There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss.” According to the interview, Aniston shakes her head in disbelief as she adds: “That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool.”

Despite what many in the media are hoping for, I really don’t want to see this getting into an Aniston/Jolie verbal throw down. Enough. Leave them both alone about this whole thing. Jen needs to move on, although John Mayer may not be her best way of doing so. Anyway, I’ll leave you a few links to catch up. Lots of rhetoric, but admittedly, it does make for interesting reading.

Jen snaps at Angelina!

More dirt on Jennifer Aniston, Perez style

Mariah Carey is a MAJOR diva!

This is what makes the public hate celebrities – when they have outrageous demands for their appearances or performances. And her recent demands for her appearance at the World Music Awards aren’t going to help her image (which is sagging lately). Get this: Carey’s demands included a £100,000 private jet transport to the ceremony in Monte Carlo and a £10,000-a-night penthouse suite at the exclusive Hotel de Paris for two nights. Never one to travel light, she also asked for similar VIP treatment at the hotel for her 15-strong entourage of stylists and personal assistants. And when she felt a little peckish, she decided that the five-star hotel just wasn't quite up to standard. Instead she had renowned Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse brought to her hotel to cook her a private dinner. Seemingly impressed with the results, she then asked if he could stay and teach her how to cook the clam linguine for her new husband Nick Cannon. Oh yeah, all this for only a 15-minute appearance. Nice. If you didn’t hate her before…

Mariah's outrageous demands

This is not a good look for Amy Wino

Speaking of singers who haven’t exactly done much to help their public image, who better to fit the bill than Amy Winehouse? Do you think she will ever record another album? Not if she doesn’t get better, or look better. These pics of Wino taken just a few days ago aren’t doing anything for her look. View the slide show (and the comments by the Superficial) at your own risk.

Winehouse lookin', well, normal for her I guess

The last word on Prop8 from… Keith Olbermann?

Keith Olbermann, outspoken host of MSNBC’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann and regular NBC Sunday Night Football contributor, in perhaps his finest moment on the air, expressed his views on California’s unfortunate acceptance of Proposition 8. Prop 8 will rewrite the constitution to ban same sex marriage. Many stars, gay and straight, have brought forth their views on the hot button topic, but nobody has quite done so with the same emotional strength as Olbermann (who is not exactly known for emotional strength). This is amazing stuff. Even if you’re against gay marriage, it wouldn’t hurt to watch this video.

Olbermann explains why Prop 8 is hateful

How I Met Your... Speidi and Kardashian?

A few weeks ago, I heard some TV industry types were discussing the possibility of having Heidi and Spencer appear on an upcoming episode of How I Met Your Mother (which is back on track this fall after a disappointing season). When I heard about it I prayed to the TV Gods that it was only a rumor. My prayers went unanswered as show creator Craig Thomas has confirmed that the loathsome couple will in fact make an appearance on the show. Even if they do it poking fun at themselves, it’s a lose/lose. The show loses credibility and the fans may turn away. Also to appear on the same show is DWTS bootee (nobody fits that description better than Kim and her booty) Kim Kardashian.

Here’s how the episode will apparently go down (the toilet):
The episode, tentatively called "Benefits," is about Marshall's (Jason Segel) inability to poop at work. (Charming!) Marshall carries a copy of Them Weekly with him when he's heading to the bathroom. Kim, Heidi, Spencer and lord knows which other tabloid faves will speak to Marshall from the cover of Them in a dream sequence. They presumably pop up to mock and laugh and make Marshall feel generally silly.

A sad day for How I Met Your Mother

Brad Garrett attacks the paps – possible criminal charges to come

The paparazzi learned a lesson that I myself learned many years ago: don’t mess with Brad Garrett. As a comedian, he’s the last guy that you ever want to heckle. He will make you regret your decision by verbally attacking you in front of the audience. He’s a great comedian, and I’ve seen his act many times. But who knew that Garrett’s attacks could go from verbal to physical? Well, it happened last night, and TMZ has caught everything on video for the world to see. The attack wasn’t all that different than the majority of attacks on the paps and their cameras, but this one seemed to go on for a long time. TMZ reports that criminal charges may be brought up against the tall funnyman for his outburst. Check it out:

When tall comedians attack!
