LINDSAY LOHAN ON A RAMPAGE First a paparazzo, now Sarah Palin: "'I really cannot bite my tongue anymore when it comes to Sarah Palin,' the actress, 22, wrote on her MySpace blog Sunday. … Although Lohan said she feels 'it's necessary for me to clarify that I am not against Sarah Palin as a mother or woman', the star believes that Palin … isn't ready to run the country. She said, 'I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor, which is probably all she is qualified to be. Oh, and… Hint Hint Pali Pal - Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!' Lohan … also referenced Palin's views on homosexuality. 'Is it a sin to be gay?' Lohan asked. 'Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock? Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?'"
Know what? I hate modern American politics. Hate them. I think both Republicans and Democrats are to blame for them being divisive, ugly, cruel, misguided, dumbed-down, bigoted, unhelpful, fiscally shameful—all of it. That being said, looking at Mollygood over the past couple weeks, you might never be able to tell that I harbor those feelings. Allow me to explain.

Anyone read these books? Can you give us some idea as to whether or not this movie, which apparently has at least one scene depicting hysterical women fighting over shoes, will be as irritating as we imagine?
Though most people who witness a performance by Jessica Simpson are jarred by her unbelievable mediocrity, some Grand Ole Opry attendants were recently shaken more by the young Texan's attire:
"I think she should have put some clothes on," one viewer said. While another one responded to how she liked Simpson's performance with: "I loved that new girl, Crystal [Shawanda] – and she was dressed appropriately."

Please, America, elect Barack Obama. On behalf of the world. Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president.
But I know America to be a forward-thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years?
We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because in England he wouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors.

The "fuckin' redneck" who impregnated her daughter was impressed by Sarah Palin's speech last night. Were you?
PALIN FAILIN'? "The McCain campaign scrambled to take control of the public debate over vice-presidential pick Sarah Palin, canceling her public appearances and teaming her with high-powered Republican operatives as she prepared for a speech Wednesday night that will be her first, and perhaps most important, chance to define herself to the American public. … Republican officials remained nervous about how the choice was playing in the country as a whole. Some new polls showed Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama gaining a big lead in recent days following his party's convention last week. A USA Today poll taken over the weekend found Sen. Obama leading Sen. John McCain 50%-43% among registered voters, up from a four-point lead before the Democratic convention."
Diddy Decides: McCain "Bugging The Fuck Out" Picking Palin
Pamela Anderson, on the premiere of her new reality show, Girl on the Loose, on Sunday: "PEOPLE BETTER BE WATCHNG THE OLYMPICS INSTEAD OF MY SHOW!!! You know how E replays things over and over — if people are interested it's always around."
America took Pam's advice and turned away in droves! In fact, more viewers tuned in for the season premiere of C-grade schlock Sunset Tan than for GotL, which you better check out soon if you have any interest at all. Contrary to what Pammy thinks, it's unlikely it will "always" be around.
A fast-tracked remake of 1987's Robocop has been set for release in 2010. In anticipation, a good friend of ours today sought out out the original Robocop, which he had never seen; here are his thoughts:
• "was it supposed to be laughable?"
• "I started cracking up when the dude got blown away in the board room"
• "the dad from that 70s show is the villain"
• "lots of swearing too."
Wonder if the new version will be able to coax out similarly delighted reactions!
Hahahaha! I found this earlier while looking for this image.
Wouldja look at that turgid beast? That guy now runs a state the size of some countries. Nuts, right?
Question: Any ladies (or gents) out there that find outsized muscles like this attractive?
In its coverage of last night's Teen Choice Awards, E! Online calls Justin Timberlake "hunky." Question: Is that accurate? We thought "hunky" was reserved for guys like Vin Diesel and Harrison Ford. Isn't Justin Timberlake more like a cute hall monitor?
Now that Yankee swordsman Alex Rodriguez has inked a deal with the William Morris Agency to continue his career in more "creative" ways, where do you think he'll turn up next? Are guys that fuck other guys' wives while also cheating on their own wives better actors or reality show centerpieces? Our call: ESPN reality program in which doofy armchair quarterbacks compete in weekly challenges to be A-Rod's assistant. Bob Costas would guest host and also help Rodriguez choose who "gets cut" from the team, until just the victor remains. (Jesus, it's frightening how easy it is to think up TV shows that could actually be very successful.)
We've ranted before about how we can't stand professional critics and find them to be archaic and condescending. And yesterday the backlash against New York's negative Dark Knight review showed us that some of you are similarly irreverent. But is there anyone out there who thinks movie critics are important? To be sure, Anthony Lane's a great read, but does anyone actually give thought to his opinions before going to the cinema? Seriously, we want to know. Do you believe in critics? Does anyone exist whose review of the new Batman would cause you to not go see it?
Did you know that Celine Dion once did a cover of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long"? We didn't either, until yesterday when it was voted the "Worst Ever Cover Song" by Total Guitar magazine. Editor Stephen Lawson called the version "sacrilege." Click through to see if you agree. (We've also included the four other "worst" covers.)
