BLATHER: 1) “I’d be happy
to go and deny being gay,
because I’m not. But by
denying it, I’m saying there
is something shameful about
it, and there
isn’t anything
shameful. The
questions about
sexuality I find
more in America
than anywhere
else, because
it’s a big hang-
up and defines
what people think
about themselves
and others. It’s
not a big issue
in Australia.”
Hugh Jackman tells
Parade magazine that he’s
often asked if he’s gay by
American reporters. There is
no connection to that other
item about Carrie Prejean.
2) “Madonna fell off a
horse? She should stay
off of those horses. This
isn’t the Wild West.”
Billy Joel, amazed to
learn that there are things
other than the wagon you
can fall off, reacts to the
riveting bulletin
that Madonna
fell off her horse.
3) “I did some
vomiting in one of
the Scary Movies.
I’m experienced
at it. I’ve done
a little in real
life as well.”
Anna Faris tells
The Guardian
of her barfing
motivation in
the film Observe
and Report. This is why
everyone loves Anna
Faris, boys and girls.
4) “He’s rude, arrogant,
intimidating and lazy. He’s
the angriest man you’ll ever
meet. He’s like a man with
a fork in a world of soup.”
Noel Gallagher tells Q
magazine he’s so deeply
annoyed with his brother
Liam Gallagher that he’d
spontaneously quote
the lyrics (“A man with a
fork in a world of soup,”)
of a Caesars’ song.
DRIVEL: 1) “Pop music
is very similar to classical
music. If you listen to Bach
you’ll hear all his tunes
go the same way as a pop
record. It helped me to
become a good songwriter.”
Lady Gaga pretends
to be Bono.
2) “Amy is seriously
thinking about adopting,
but she is aware it’s going
to be incredibly difficult
with her background.”
A wisely unnamed source
tells the Daily Mail that
Amy Winehouse is thinking
about adopting a child in
St. Lucia. Angelina Jolie
has a lot to answer for, no?
3) “I will literally try
anything once, absolutely. In
Mexico I had crickets — it’s
a popular dish over there, it’s
a delicacy. I also had larvae,
like flies, in Mexico. It was
really good with lemon and
salt. It tasted like pasta.”
Zac Efron tells the UK
Star he’s not just another
pretty face. Efron confessed
he once scarfed live octopus
on a bet, while his girlfriend,
Vanessa Hudgens, claims
to have eaten fruit bat. Just
think what you write in this
blank space right here if
the world had no lawyers.
4) “There is a girl in
London who I am looking
forward to seeing but haven’t
met yet, and she is really hot
... I met her on the Internet.”
Tommy Lee (in the UK
Daily Star) continues to
use his celebrity to set a
good example for younger
fans. What a tool.
