What the HELL is Jennifer Aniston doing with John Mayer?! He's been with more celebrities than Larry King and he's no good for her!! It has to be just a fling, right? Just tell me they're both in Miami at the same time, it's just a thing of convenience, right? Between Vince Vaughn and this guy - what is going through her mind?!
Damn she needs to call me.

- This is kind of...interesting. -- lyn, 05/ 6/08 11:17am
From a blogger who saw Stripped:
Dear Eddie Izzard,
Editing wikipedia....waiting for your mac to update itself and then noticing no freaking difference afterwards....realizing that NO ONE has ever read the iTunes agreement all the way through....This is comedy. Your opinion on issues such as politics & religion, while they may be comedy, they are just that: your opinion. Did I pay money so that you could ridicule things I believe in, such as God & creationism? Did I pay $60 after ticketbastard charges so that YOU could try and convince me of your unresearched opinions? Well, I guess I DO have to give you slight credit. You did offer a disclaimer where you said that you did most of your research through the "telly." Greeeeat. Since I don't watch TV hardly at ALL, this makes ME think that you 1) have a lot of time on your hands, and 2) don't bother doing much else than watching TV...and....generating a comedy routine from it. Seriously?
I'd seen your DVDs...listened to your CDs...and you were genuinely FUNNY....when you spoke about pop culture or generic history, even American history! Prehistoric history and God: not really topics that I enjoy being preached to about. Oh, excuse me....you wouldn't agree with the word "preaching," would you? For someone who uses the "golden rule" as their life's philosophy, you sure don't take it seriously. Would YOU like it if I put down YOUR views? Hmm. Think on that one for a hot minute.
Not to mention the acoustics in the place SUCKED. I guess DAR Constitution Hall is better for music acts than for comedians. And I guess old school Eddie Izzard is the stuff I'm going to stick to, if I ever really feel like listening to you again. You just...weren't funny. (even though people were, surprisingly, laughing) Just...not....funny. Tell jokes, not opinions, and maybe I'll give you another chance. But not likely.
God has a sense of humor, but no one likes being made mocked.

- From what I've seen of Eddie's recent material, he's opinionated for sure, but he isn't demeaning or rude. If you can't stand to have your faith questioned, are you sure it's faith? And are you sure you want to pay to see someone who questions EVERYTHING as their act? She has only herself to blame for her bad time, I think. Sense of humor is so personal, tho'. I agree with Jimmy Carr that it's like sexual orientation - you can't help liking what you like and not liking what you don't (NT) -- annette, 05/ 6/08 3:26pm
- Everyone's sense of humor is different depending on their mood, and what they may have going on in their lives at the moment. Sometimes what's funny to me one day, isn't as funny the next. Or the exact opposite~what isn't funny one day, will crack me up a few days later when i think about it. Maybe she went to see Eddie on a off day?.... (NT) -- Ellie, 05/ 6/08 6:18pm

Izzard new Who?
Eddie Izzard apparently wants to be the new Doctor Who.
There have been countless rumours about when the current Time Lord David Tennant will be stepping down, and the cross-dressing comedian is keen to step into his shoes according to the Daily Express.
Eddie said: "I would accept the part if it was offered to me."
Speaking at a TV event in Los Angeles he added: "I think David is doing a great job in the role. He may become even more popular than Tom Baker, who I thought was the best ever Doctor.
"Tom actually put my name forward for the part when the BBC brought the show back four years ago."
Tom said at the time: "Eddie would bring an alien quality to the part. He is so mysterious and strange and seems like he has a lot of secrets", but the part went to Christopher Eccelston.
Eddie, 46, is currently enjoying huge success state-side starring in award-winning drama The Riches.

- SERIAL MURDERS -- Liz, 04/25/08 12:03pm
I hated to post on top of Lyn but just had to share. I don't know if you remember our discussion a couple of years ago about all the college age young men who were found dead floating in rivers, and their deaths were simply chalked up to drunkeness. There was an alternative theory that these death weren't accidental drownings and were in fact serial murders. We had a University of Minnesota student who was found floating in the Mississippi, and the police said just drunkeness and accidental drowning. The parents hired a team of their own experts and were able to prove murder. The police have since apologized and claim they actually have suspects. On our local tv station last night, they brought forward the story of two retired New York detectives who have taken on all these deaths as an investigation. There are 40 deaths of young men between Minnesota and New York where the bodies were found in rivers, the victims were all good students and caucasian, and their deaths were all ruled accidental. These detectives believe they can now prove they are all murders, and that the killers are using the same MO to murder these young men and are leaving a telltale clue where all the bodies went in the water. You're not going to believe what the clue is: it's a smily face! They had multiple photographs of the smily faces where the bodies went in the water! They clame the suspects are using a cube truck to kidnap the victims, drive them around town and torture them, and then kill them and put them in the water and leave a smily face behind. It was pretty convincing. They also believe they can name perpetrators. It was just chilling to watch. The serial nature of the killings is something I've suspected all along. If you go into google and type in KSTP tv minnesota, you should be able to read the story yourself.

"But later that night, an insider reveals that Tom and Katie invited their A-list pals, including David and Victoria Beckham, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Eva Longoria Parker, and Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy to a second celebration. 'The catering bill for the two parties cost Tom more than $45,000,' reveals the insider, who adds that Tom asked his friend, celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, to cater the events.

HERE'S an interesting article giving a nice historical background of the German Officers behind "Valkyrie". But this part is the best:
"Needless to say, there has been much anticipation over this film, especially since the lead role went to Tom Cruise, who has never quite got the knack of acting. Like Jeremy Irons, he seems to believe that completely different characters require little or no change in performance, but is mysteriously still making films nonetheless. (Cruise at least has the excuse of being a Scientologist to explain his success… what’s Jeremy Irons’s?)."

Did anyone watch the Comedy Central telethon for Autism yesterday night? I didn't think it was that great. The "roast" for Adam Sandler was kind of stupid - but I loved the fact that they didn't get the bleeping right and you could here him say "f**king assh**e" a couple of times, also when Suzie Essman was going off on Larry David you could hear her curse a couple of times too.
I love Jon Stewart but I just didn't think it was a great 2 hours, it could have been better. It seemed like they threw it together pretty quickly, they were all reading off cue cards most of the time. Will Ferrell as Bush was pretty funny. And whoever was doing Hilary Clinton was funny too, I thought it was Rachel Dratch but I wasn't sure.
Rosie's stand-up was slightly funny, but she honestly didn't seem to have worked that hard on it. Even Maroon 5's song was a lame version. And did we really need to see Kevin James with Blueman face?
And at no time during the show did they say how much money they had raised. I wonder if the donations weren't what they expected, Jon Stewart was pretty much begging for money at the end. He got a few people in the audience to give thousands of dollars, though.
If Eddie were there he would've given his all for 5 minutes!
