Set phasers on…roast

August 9, 2006 /

So you thought last year’s Comedy Central roast of pneumatic blonde Pamela Anderson was, ahem, a bust?

Never fear. The network has announced its next target, and the intended roastee should afford the roasters plenty of material beyond the basic, lowest-common-denominator body-part jokes that dominated last year’s event.

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to roast…William Shatner.

No, seriously: Prepare to roast him yourself. The network is soliciting roast videos from the public…so get that digital camera ready, and do your worst.

He can take it. He’s Captain Kirk. Not to mention he’s also…Denny Crane!

The show will air Sunday, August 20.

Paris Hilton: Celibate nymphomaniac…or pathological liar?

August 8, 2006 /

In a quote that is certain to keep her phone from ringing for the next several months, Paris Hilton claims to have only ever had sex with two men in her life, and has pledged to remain celibate for an entire year:

Hilton, 25, says, “I’m not having sex for a year. I’ve decided. … I’ll kiss, but nothing else.”

For that matter, the star reveals that she’s only ever had sex with two men in her entire life. “The reason so many of my relationships don’t work is guys are like, ‘Hey what’s going on? It’s been like four months and I’m only getting a kiss here,’ ” she says.

When it comes to chastity, says Hilton, “I feel good about it. I like the way guys go crazy when they can’t have sex with you.”

Yeah, we’re pretty sure the guys dig that, too…

So, you be the judge: In making these outrageous statements, is Paris:

a) Lying through her teeth, in a belated attempt to clean up her reputation;
b) Indulging in an ill-advised bout of optimism, selective memory loss and/or wishful thinking; or
c) Demonstrating her confusion between the words “celibate” and “celebrate,” and failing to clarify that she only ever has sex with two men at the same time…in which case her phone will in fact begin ringing off the hook.

Rob Schneider puts the kibosh on “Deuce Bigalow, Biblical Gigolo”

August 8, 2006 /

Aligning himself firmly with the anti-Mel-Gibson camp, former Saturday Night Live star Rob Schneider has taken out a full-page ad in “Variety” condemning Gibson for his anti-Semitic comments and pledging never to work with Gibson in the future, even if Gibson were to “offer [him] the lead role in ‘Passion of the Christ 2.’”

Of course, Schneider’s comments presuppose that Gibson ever had any intention of working with him on any movie projects of any kind at any point in the future…which seems an iffy prospect at best, given their respective resumes.

In fact, when informed of Schneider’s printed attack in “Variety,” Gibson responded, “Rob who?”

“No, I mean he’s like a really friendly, non-anti-Semitic pit bull”

August 7, 2006 /

“Road House” and “Dirty Dancing” star Patrick Swayze has leapt to the aid of embattled DUI sugar-tit fetishist Mel Gibson, calling him a “wonderful human being” who simply did something stupid:

Swayze, 53, downplayed his friend’s drunken outburst, telling GMTV that “people say stupid things when they happen to have a few, and especially if you don’t drink any more, or have limited your drinking for a long time and all of a sudden you decide to have one too many with the boys – you are stupid.”

Swayze, who is starring in the West End production of “Guys and Dolls,” said the incident certainly would not end Gibson’s career.

“When you are a pit bull, and you love what you do and you are going to continue to grow, that talent will find its way out,” Swayze said.

Following the subsequent outrage from the American Pit Bull Owners Association, who decried Swayze’s unnecessary and unwarranted denigration of their favorite breed of dog, Swayze retracted his comments and reached out to the pit-bull-owning community for forgiveness.

Naveen Andrews enjoys his summer “break”

August 3, 2006 /

Oops, he did it again: “Lost” star Naveen Andrews, apparently not entirely clear on the definition of a monogamous relationship, was caught on film in Manhattan Beach performing mouth-to-mouth on an unidentified blonde woman who was not his longtime girlfriend Barbara Hershey (and who was also not, for the record, in any danger of drowning).

This is not the first such indiscretion for Andrews, who made headlines back in January for fathering a child during a brief period when he and Hershey had been “on a break.”

Here’s hoping Hershey wasn’t paying too much attention during those torture scenes last season…or Naveen (whose rep insists “Naveen and Barbara are still together”) may have a rather uncomfortable homecoming in his future.
