Hairdresser Alert™:Richard Chamberlain dumps male lover

Publication: Globe
Date: 3 May 2010

The Globe and the Examiner are still fighting it out for the Hey Old Timer gossip market this week. The Globe's entry also gives us a Hairdresser Alert™ as the tells us that hunky heartthrob Richard Chamberlain has dumped his gay lover. According to Wikipedia, that would be Martin Rabbett, who has been Chamberlain's partner since the mid 1970's.

Mr. Chamberlain came out of the closet in 2003. It was every bit as surprising as Ricky Martin's announcement this year.

Mystery Alert!Who is really in Michael Jackson's crypt?

Publication: Weekly World News
Date: 3 May 2010

Even when I can't use their headlines, I always look forward to the Weekly World News blurb on the cover of the Sun every week. This week, they ask the question "Who is really in Michael Jackson's crypt?" My first guess would be Michael Jackson, but that just seems too easy.


Mystery solved!

Mystery Alert!Dixie Carter's Death Mystery

Publication: National Examiner
Date: 3 May 2010

Tonight, we get all Scooby-Doo and Miss Marple on your butts, as the tabloids present us with mysteries from beyond the grave! The Examiner tells us that there is a mystery surrounding Dixie Carter's death.

Well, it's a good thing Angela Lansbury is still around, because I have a pretty good idea who can solve it.

She fought the law alert™:Heather Locklear's hit-and-run drama

Publication: TMZ online
Date: 21 Apr. 2010

The headline sounds very bad. The story itself is not quite as sensational. And once again, TMZ scoops the supermarket rags and does some REAL reporting. I don't read their website often, but I am always impressed with the clear writing, multiple sources and actual documents. It's like the version we got of the crime reporter back in those film noir movies and these guys are really doing their jobs well.

Heather Locklear hit a traffic sign at 4:00 in the morning and drove off. Her lawyer's position is the "who you gonna call?" defense and the cops have no interest in charging her. She is on probation for a DUI few years.

In other words, Heather Locklear is like a good looking Dick Cheney. Anyone with a brain can figure both of them did something stupid after too much sauce, but actual proof that stands up in a court of law is lacking. And of course, in Ms. Locklear's case, no one is picking buckshot out of his face after the incident.
I want to thank my pal Matthew Kruk for first sending me the link to this story.


Not Long 4 This World Alert:Kiefer Sutherland drunk at a strip club

Publications: Star, Globe
Date: 3 May 2010

Fresh trash on Thursday! Both the Star and the Globe paid for a picture of the topless Kiefer Sutherland leaving a strip club. The Globe put in the headline "Booze is killing Kiefer", so I add him to the Not Long 4 This World list. The Star's headline is "Kiefer hits rock bottom".

In years gone by, Kiefer was a regular in the tabloids, but this is the first mention he gets in 2010, and the year is almost one third over.

Just for the record, I think the photographer that snapped this picture did all the hard work and real reporting, while the people writing the headlines are taking money under false pretenses of being journalists.

Being mean to Miss Loretta Lynn.



The bunny says it all.

Man Slut Alert:Justin Timberlake betrays Jessica Biel


Publication: Us Weekly
Date: 26 Apr. 2010

Here's the last trash of the tabloid week, clearing the deck for fresh trash tomorrow.

According to Us Weekly, Justin Timberlake is splitting his valuable time between Jessica Biel and Cameron Diaz. Remember that just a month ago, he was linked to a stripper, so he definitely has some serious time management skillz.

The editors of this supermarket rag add the extra detail that he loves being fought over.

And here I just thought he liked to have sex with as many women as possible.
