Pavillions Supermarket in West Hollywood

Pavillions in West Hollywood is a pretty supermarket, but everything is priced too high. Then, they place stickers all over everything to make you think you're not paying too much. And self-checkout is lame like most others - keeps asking for an attendant whenever you ring liquor. My brain hurts.

Corey Haim Dead

Sad news out of Los Angeles where Actor Corey Haim has died. This is tragic, as it appears he was really on the road to recovery from years of drug abuse. Unfortunately, it seems the damage was already done. He was recently sick with "flu-like" symptoms and was staying at his mother's apartment when, last night, he simply collapsed.  He later died at a hospital in Burbank, CA. There are reports of prescription bottles being found.  It appears he may have suffered an accidental overdose, which would be both ironic and tragic. RIP cutie patootie.

Sean Hayes Finally Comes Out... Sort of..

According to the latest issue of The Advocate, our beloved Sean Hayes of "Will & Grace" fame has finally opened the closet door.  Now, he seems to have stuck out his toe to test the waters.  Maybe a leg.  But he doesn't come out and say, YUPPERS, I'm gay.

He tells the Advocate, “I feel like I’ve contributed monumentally to the success of the gay movement in America, and if anyone wants to argue that, I’m open to it,” he says. “What more do you want me to do? Do you want me to stand on a float? And then what? It’s never enough.”

Hmmm... kind of disappointing.  He even says that he was never "in..." So that's why he never quite says... he's out. Oh well, Sean, we'll take what we can get.

Douchebag Update: California State Sen. Roy Ashburn Admits He's Gay After Arrest

Okay, I reported just a few days ago that California State Sen. Roy Ashburn was arrested early last week on charges of drunken driving after leaving a gay nightclub in Sacramento. So now he has come out of the closet. Yes, he's admitted FINALLY that he's gay.

We should be happy whenever someone comes out of the closet. The problem here? This STAUNCH republican senator has a anti-gay voting record. Nonetheless, on a conservative radio talk show today, Ashburn admitted, "I'm gay." Then, he went on to say, "Those are the words that have been so difficult for me for so long."

Yeah, but apparently it wasn't difficult for him to utter the words NO-NO-NO-NO whenever legislation came up for voting that would protect gay rights, legalize gay marriage, etc. etc.  So although I'm happy whenever anyone faces the truth head on and comes clean, thus joining the ranks of fellow gays - this DOUCHEBAG can return from whence he came. Senator Ashburn, we don't want your hypocritical, lying ass. Oh and he defended his anti-gay voting, citing that it was in line with the majority views of his district.

Another conservative who is DIVORCED.  A father of four. Anti-gay. A liar. Coward. Hypocrite. BUT...
when asked about his Christian faith and going forward living an openly gay life, Ashburn was vague
.
"I would ask people to pray for me. My faith is very clear and very firm," he said. Yeah, kind of like that guy's ass you were busted with after leaving the gay bar... when you were arrested for DRUNK DRIVING.

He is also quoted as saying, "I pray to God that I can find peace, and I want to go back to work in the Senate and work hard for the people who sent me to the legislature."  But the best news that came out of all of this is that he said he will not run for Congress, as previously planned.

I SAY RED ROVER-RED ROVER SEND HIM BACK OVER to the straights. We don't need you, Senator. We don't want you, Senator. And Senator, you're no Harvey Milk.

Worst Oscars Ever

Oh that was just dreadful. The worst Academy Awards show ever. From the hosts (Martin and Baldwin) to the sets, the numbers... Awkwardness. It just plain SUCKED!

Whoopie Goldberg is One Big Leaking Bladder

She's been onstage. Starred in loads of films. Has a regular gig on The View. A celebrity in her own right. And now Whoopie Goldberg is touting the "leaking bladder" for women. Yes, she is doing commercials for Poise, which is basically a thin diaper for women who unintentionally leak urine. It's such a refreshing change to see Whoopie in this role. Just when you thought she was all washed up... Whoopie is now dry... uh... except for the soaking wet cotten job between her legs. Jeez, Louize...

American Idol On Last Leg

I never thought American Idol was great.  The concept was interesting.  Sometimes I watch, sometimes I don't.  After all these years on TV, there are probably really only a couple of "Idols" that have made a mark in music. Daughtry and ... what's her name? See what I mean?  All that work. All that judging. All these years... and that's what we get? Unforgettable, mediocre talent. It seems to me the traditional way of "discovering talent" is the proven method - not that the industry gets it right all the time. There are SO many bands that should have made it... but have not.

But now American Idol has just turned into the most horrific lineup of "talent". Out of all the cities the judges have visited and the THOUSANDS of contestants... this is what you came up with??? Really??? It's just dreadful - cracking voices, pitchy, unprofessional, untrained...

Simon Cowell is checking out. Paula already did. Ellen Degeneres wouldn't know a good singer, if they came up and licked her. But she'd probably say they were great. And now it's time for me to tune out. Bye-bye Idol... bye-bye...
