Julie Chen is Damn Beautiful
Every time I watch The Talk, I find myself incredibly distracted by Julie Chen’s looks. You know when you have a crush on a guy and you invite your girlfriends out as your wing-women? Yeah — if Julie Chen was my my girlfriend, I’d tell her to stay home for fear of competition. No one needs a hot chick as their wing. I can’t imagine sitting on that panel with her everyday and listening her to her say things like, “I miss my 20 year old body.” Chen is married to Les Moonves, who is the head of CBS, and Moonves allegedly starting dating Chen while he was still married. Chen hosted The Early Show on CBS at the time. They married 13 days after his divorce was final. Something tells me it was love at first sight.

Did You Know: The Osbournes Have a Third Child Named Aimee Osbourne?
Most people don’t know that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne spawned three children, not two. We all know about Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne, but what about Aimee, and why wasn’t she ever featured on The Osbournes? The story is somewhat interesting. Aimee hated the idea for the show, and she refused to appear in it. She predicted that it would ruin her father’s public image, and she later said the show turned him into a “laughing stock.” She said it was edited to make Ozzy look a “clown” and a “stuttering alcoholic.” She also indicated that it was all her mother’s idea, and Sharon ultimately “won,” by becoming extremely successful. But Aimee still objects because her mother’s success was at the expense of her fathers image, saying, “after all those years of hard work and touring, this is how he’ll be remembered and appreciated.”
Dear Celebrities Everywhere — Fire Your “People”
There’s a big secret in Hollywood that many outside Tinseltown don’t know. When you hear about a celebrity being an asshole, it’s usually their handlers that are assholes, and the celebrity gets blamed. I went to a party last night and I tried to score a picture with an A-lister (whose name I won’t mention). This is something I never do, but because the event warranted picture-taking, it seemed fine to ask. He was surrounded by his handlers, who told me that he wasn’t taking any pictures. I found that suspicious, and I told them that I’ve heard through the Hollywood grapevine that he’s the nicest guy in the business, and I’m certain he wouldn’t mind. They still said no, until I dropped some names, which peaked their interest. They assured me they’d ask. I then noticed that they were instead escorting him out of the event altogether. I was snowed. I’m less annoyed that I didn’t get my coveted picture, and more annoyed by his handlers. Unfortunately, this isn’t my first experience with this type of thing. I once tried to get Brad Pitt to speak at an event I was hosting. Without getting into details, I was certain he’d be interested. I went through the proper protocol by first contacting his publicist. She wrote me back “no” within seconds, making it clear that she never even asked him. I was therefore forced to call in reinforcements, and I used connections to actually get the invitation to Pitt. It turns out he would have said yes, but his shooting schedule overlapped. And there you have it. I’m sure Pitt still has that publicist. George Clooney once discussed this issue, admitting in an interview that he’s had to fire people in his camp, because they act like assholes while throwing his name around. That’s probably why Clooney has managed to uphold his nice-guy reputation. I’m told through the rumor mill that Christopher Walken is the only celebrity that specifically instructs his “people” to extend every single offer his way (which includes student films). I’m sure that’s how he ended up in that Fat Boy Slim video. As a tribute to Christopher Walken, who I think consistently gets it right, I’ve posted the Fat Boy Slim video below.
