Paula Deen Has Diabetes — You Don’t Say!

Paula Deen Holding foodI wasn’t going to comment on this, but the story won’t seem to go away, so it’s worth mentioning. Paula Deen has based her career on unhealthy foods, and she’s currently being chastised for hiding her diabetes. First, if you didn’t know that Paula Deen’s recipes could cause diabetes from excessive sugar intake, then you’re pretty dumb. Second, all things are good in moderation, and no one forced you to eat her food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Furthermore, she’s no more responsible for diabetes than McDonalds is for heart attacks. Grow a brain, lose some weight, and start eating better.

Travis Barker’s Naked Pictures Surface — The Man is Blessed

I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m guilty of sexting pictures to significant others (or not so significant others — depending on how you look at it). But if those pictures ever made their way to the internet, I might say something like, “wow, who’s that super hot chick with the insanely flat stomach? Too bad it’s not me.” Unfortunately for Travis Barker, he’s covered in tattoos that don’t afford him the same ability to deny. I bet he didn’t think of that issue while getting inked. But before you feel sorry for the guy, I’d like to note that I’ve seen these pictures — and let’s just say he can’t claim damages for destroying his “reputation.”

Scarlett Johansson Has Naked Pictures — Uh Oh!

Have you ever had those moments where you look at yourself naked in the mirror and think, “damn — I’m really hot. Those squats are seriously paying off?” Well if you have — and you feel the need to text sexy photos to your flavor-of-the-month — be sure to leave your face out of the picture. Just ask Scarlett Johansson, who is the latest victim of phone hacking, after naked pictures of her were taken from her cell phone. Because I’m an exceptionally moral person, I will not provide a link to the pictures, but let’s just say whoever they were sent to probably enjoyed them greatly.

Russell Crowe’s Circumcision Tirade — Accused of Anti-Semitism

Russell Crowe received a lot of criticism over his anti-circumcision tweets, and some are even calling his statements anti-semitic. Of the “barbaric” ritual, Crowe said, “I love my Jewish friends, I love the apples and the honey and the funny little hats, but stop cutting your babies.” I’m not sure whether his stance on baby penis is the anti-semitic part or it’s the “little hats” remark. As a Jew, I tried hard to be offended by his comments, especially since us Jews take just about everything personally. No such luck though. I suppose the only thing that offended me is the idea that Russell Crowe didn’t ask women what they prefer, because that’s certainly the most important part of this equation. Crowe forgets that later in life, men are less concerned about the existence or non-existence of foreskin, and they are more concerned about getting laid. And if women had their choice, I think I know which they’d pick. Perhaps that’s just me though. Did I mention I’m a Jew?
