It's Not Gossip, It's Commentary
In honor of all Turkey Day festivities, I’ll be taking a blogging break until Monday, November 26th. Have a great gobble-fest, catch up on family time, and if you’re looking for a way to pass each day, you can always listen to my podcasts! Here they are: THE DISHMASTER’S PODCAST.
Enjoy your food fiesta!

Homeland is a brilliant show with some brilliant actors. Having said that, the daughter and wife have to go. The actors are terrible, and their story-lines are tired and annoying. Casting doesn’t always get it right, and I’m sure after they paid Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, and Mandy Patinkin, they simply ran out of money. That has to be the explanation for these awful performances, right? Watch a clip below of Dana’s character (played by Morgan Saylor), who insists for the 528th time that she “has to tell” the police about her hit-and-run, even though everyone on the planet (including the viewing audience) thinks it’s a bad idea.
Taylor Swift shockingly secured the crown for my favorite AMA performance. She eliminated the woe-is-me element of every other performance and elevated the maturity factor. Watch below.
“MTV didn’t have a slot for her. Britney Spears was playing. They told Christina, ‘If you do a song with Fred Durst, we’ll let you play.’ So she calls me and goes, ‘Fred, MTV won’t let me play the Video Music Awards. Will you do a song with me? Will you rap in the middle of my song?’ I was like, ‘Hell no. I’ve got an idea though. How about you do your song and I’ll come up afterward and do my own thing, a little piece off my new record. I ain’t f***ing doing no skit with you. I’ll come up, size you up and get the hell out. I’ll do it as a favor for you because you’re so worried that Britney is going to perform and you’re not’ . . . . I did it as a serious f***ing favor because she is so competitive with Britney . . . . I didn’t get a thank-you call or anything. She cried the day of the awards. She didn’t even show up for the f***ing rehearsal. I’m sitting in the hotel room with my managers the day of the rehearsals and she ain’t coming. She’s fixing her hair. So I storm into her room, going, “What the F*** are you doing?” She goes, ‘Calm down.’ I go, ‘No, F*** you I ain’t f***ing doing this damn song.’ So she starts crying hysterically, freaking out. I go, ‘OK, I’ll f***ing do it.’ I did her a f***ing favor, and all I got was a bunch of sh** from my fans were like, ‘What the F*** did you do that for?’ Afterward she was on MTV going ‘The worst thing that happened to me in 2000 was Fred Durst called me so many times I had to stop answering my phone.’ That’s bullsh*t, man. F***ing bullsh*t.” Fred Durst tells Playboy Magazine about his experience performing with Christina Aguilera at the MTV Video Music Awards at the height of the Britney Spears/Chrstina aguilera rivalry.
