RITCHIE RECEIVING THREATENING TEXTS FROM MADGE "Madonna has been taunting Guy Ritchie with dozens of weird text messages. Director Guy, 40, showed crew on the set of his latest film Sherlock Holmes one which read: 'You’re going down.' He said he found his estranged wife’s behaviour odd, but that he is used to it by now. And he confided in one pal: 'This is her idea of a joke – but it’s not funny. Imagine what it was like living with her.'"
Whoa, who knew John McCain had a brother? Has Joe McCain been hiding this entire time because he is volatile and cantankerous? Just like his brother?
One last question: Isn't this sort of exactly the plot of the Chris Farly/David Spade vehicle Black Sheep?
GUY RITCHIE IN TEARS OVER T-SHIRT "Guy Ritchie is 'in pieces' after seeing a photo of his son Rocco in a T-shirt supporting Alex Rodriguez's New York Yankees baseball team, a source tells Usmagazine.com. The 8-year-old was photographed sporting the shirt Monday in New York City. 'He's actually been crying over it,' says the source on the set of Ritchie's upcoming drama Sherlock Holmes."
MADGE ALREADY A VINDICTIVE PSYCHO "… Madonna couldn't resist launching a thinly veiled attack on her soon to be ex husband Guy Ritchie as she took to the stage in Boston last night. Before she sang 'Miles Away', which Madonna previously claimed was inspired by Ritchie, she told the audience: 'This song is for the emotionally retarded. Maybe you know some people who fall into that category. God knows I do.'"

Oh yeah, about that ACORN debacle:
A goldfish's lifetime ago, Sen. John McCain was happy to accept the honors and acclamation of … ACORN. Here he is, on Feb. 20, 2006, telling immigration rights activists at a rally in Miami that they "are what makes America special." ACORN co-sponsored the rally, and its volunteers surround McCain…
… ACORN was, to Republican field operatives, a Dirty Word in 2006…and in 2004, but general awareness among politicians and activists of what it does was limited to those who had to deal with its voter registration efforts.
…
You can't say…ah, but ACORN wasn't suspected of doing anything bad earlier… you can't say that because ACORN has been doing what ACORN is accused of doing for several cycles now.

It certainly looks that way, but perhaps we're just saying that because us "that one"s stick together.
At the next debate, Obama should do the thing where, after holding out his hand long enough that McCain gives in and goes to grab it, he yanks it up real quick and slicks back his hair. Gotcha maturity!

The executives behind right-wing comedy flick An American Carol, which the Philadelphia Enquirer called "about as not-funny as a comedy can get," are claiming that fraudulent sales practices at movie theaters around America are preventing Carol's box office tallies from reaching the astronomical levels they would otherwise.
Did all the conservatives decide to go batshit insane at the same time?

You knew this was coming! Sarah Palin took to the gentle, fair and balanced Fox News this morning to discuss her absolutely pathetic Katie Couric interview, which the Alaskan governor said was "annoying."
Palin continued, saying Couric's questions were unfair and that she would have preferred to discuss all the stupid fucking lies she's been trained to believe are the truth, because she's the goddamn Manchurian candidate.
Video after the jump.

BLIND PROTEST 'BLINDNESS' "Blind people quarantined in a mental asylum, attacking each other, soiling themselves, trading sex for food. For Marc Maurer, who's blind, such a scenario _ as shown in the movie 'Blindness' _ is not a clever allegory for a breakdown in society. Instead, it's an offensive and chilling depiction that Maurer fears could undermine efforts to integrate blind people into the mainstream. 'The movie portrays blind people as monsters, and I believe it to be a lie,' said Maurer, president of the Baltimore-based National Federation of the Blind. 'Blindness doesn't turn decent people into monsters.'"

The Olsen twins are currently in a fight so stupid and easily mended it could serve as a plot to another of their low-budget children's movies just as soon as they hire a desperate enough screenwriter.
It's like this: Mary-Kate and Ashley started two fashion labels together, The Row, a couture line, and Elizabeth and James, a more affordable brand. Both lines are now suffering and Ashley, who's very focused on becoming a "respected businesswoman," believes the failure is due in large part to sister Mary-Kate's partying. Cocaine, as we're sure you know, is a helluva drug.
The rest of the story's all about good lines. Ashley wants MK away from the good line, The Row, until she can cool it with her own, special good lines and the smoking and the drinking, basically all the stuff that makes the fashion industry tolerable.
MK is left to focus on the cheap stuff, er, the more affordable line, Elizabeth and James, “It’s tough because The Row was so much of Mary-Kate’s idea. Mary-Kate has a unique fashion sense,” notes the insider.
“I just see myself more as a business person,” Ashley says.
Great idea, Ashley: give the wasted young millionaire LESS responsibility. That always shapes them right up.

The American Medical Association, which has nothing really important to do in this glorious age for American health care, is upset that the new Incredible Hulk film portrays the character General Thunderbolt Ross as a heavy cigar smoker. The physicians' group worries that children who empathize with the evil general and his sinister plot to destroy Bruce Banner's mutant alter-ego could very well develop a dangerous addiction to expensive, outsize cigars. Seriously:
Dianne Fenyk, president of the advocacy group, A.M.A. Alliance, is particularly infuriated because General Ross did not smoke in “Hulk,” the 2003 film directed by Ang Lee, though he always smoked in the comic books. …
“Hollywood studios should be especially embarrassed for using comic-book movies, which they market to children and know youth will want to see, to promote tobacco,” Ms. Fenyk said.
People who should also be "especially embarrassed" are parents who let their children get their hands on cigars in order to be more like insidious villains hellbent on catching giant green monsters.

Kanye West, the batshit insane, Grumpy Gus rapper both thugs and sorority girls like, has once again lost his shit, this time in a blog post ranting against Entertainment Weekly for giving a B+ rating to his new Glow in the Dark Tour. Sayeth Yeezy:
Yo, anybody that's not a fan; don't come to my show. For what?! To try and throw ya'll two cents in? Ya'll rated my album shitty and now ya'll come to the show and give it a B+. What's a B+ mean? I'm an extremist. It's either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn't dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists. I just wanna know when was the last time you enjoyed yourself. If you can't have fun and lose yourself at this tour it's a good chance you're a very miserable person. I actually feel sorry for you guys. Your job forces you to not have fun anymore. Grab a drink, holla at some nice girls, and party bitch!! You don't know shit about passion and art. You'll never gain credibility at this rate. You're fucking trash! I make art. You can't rate this. I'm a real person. I'm not a pop star. I don't care about anything but making great art. Never come 2 one of my shows ever again, you're not invited and if you see me…BOW!! This is not pop, it's pop art!
Apparently, West was enraged that EW dared call him "a riveting soliloquist" and his performance "consuming."
