Gossip Cheat Sheet: What The Eff?

Wowza, we thought last week was bad! This week just womped it! There have been all kinds of crazy flying around this week, and it’s only getting worse. At the rate we’re going, nervous for what’s to come next week. Cheating, drugs, trashing hotel rooms, you know, just another typical week in Hollywood.

Super 2-Hour TV Special

1. Charlie Sheen has lost it. Earlier this week, Charlie was hospitalized after being found in a trashed hotel room at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan. Reports suggest that it was a drug and alcohol related incident, but his reps maintain that he had an allergic reaction to a medication. And then there was the girl (prostitute? porn star?) hiding in the bathroom. She’s pressing charges against Charlie because he was acting like a looney-bird. Oh and did we mention that Denise and his kids were across the hall? Classy, Charlie.

I Got Your Back, Gabby Sidibe

Not too long ago, a woman by the name of Gabourey Sidibe graced us with her (incredibly talented) presence in Precious. Not too long after that, she was nominated for ‘Best Actress’ at the Oscars.   That is quite the achievement for a woman discovered minutes before being handed the script for Precious.

Beyond her insane ability to serenade America with her acting talents, the girl is a hoot.  You heard her on the Oscar red carpet mid-spin, “If fashion was porn this would be the money shot.”  Needless to say, I’m a Team Gabby all the way.

After deeply establishing my ‘You go girl’ attitude towards the new found Hollywood talent, (and after hearing Oprah’s amazing tribute to her) I felt angry and resentful when Sandra Bullock took home the ‘Best Actress’ trophy at the Academy Awards. OK, that’s putting it lightly. I stood up and screamed at the TV. Yes, I understand it was “Bullock’s year,” and yes, I’ve always loved Sandy, but it was like the Taylor Swift VMA situation all over again. I just wanted to jump through my TV and pull a Kanye: “Imma let you finish, Sandra, but we all know Gabby had the best performance of the year.” Read More »


Howard Stern on Idol? Really, FOX?

Over the last decade, reality TV has become infamous for showcasing average nobodies and spotlighting them in their 15 minutes of fame.  Most contestants go on their chosen show to make complete fools of themselves and are forgotten about a few months later when the next bisexual with over 1 million Myspace friends creates her own show looking for “love.”  However, we have always been able to rely on one reality show to produce stars that are extremely successful because they actually have talent.

You guessed it… American Idol.

From the very first season, American Idol was an instant hit.  Kelly Clarkson was the winner, and albums later, she is still a pop sensation.  By the start of season 2, Randy, Paula, and Simon became household names and it was impossible to escape references to these eccentric judges.   Each season the show attracted more and more viewers and had record breaking numbers of votes at each finale.  The economy may suck, the weather is more unpredictable than ever, but the one thing we could always count on as a society was the stability of American Idol.  We knew that no matter what, every Tuesday and Wednesday night, we could tune into FOX to hear Randy give shot-outs to his “dawgs” while Paula applauded each contestant for being unique and “making the song their own.”  And finally, we knew Simon would always be there to knock them right back down in his English accent with a black t-shirt from Baby Gap.

That is… until last season, when things started to change.  A fourth judge? America was reluctant.  Kara Dioguardi climbed on board as America was forced to accept the adjustment.  She was cute and seemed to know what she was talking about, so we gave her the OK.  As long as we still had the Simon and Ryan rivalry to look forward to, one extra judge would not cramp our Idol style.  Read More »


All I Want for Hanukkah is a Nice Jewish Boy

Almost as good as latkes. Mmmmm.

Put on your yarmulke, it’s time for Hanukkah! (Chanukkah? Hhannuukkka? I’ve heard there might be a silent “j” in there somewhere…)

Everyone’s favorite Maccabee-inspired, latke-flavored, menorah-lit, better-than-Christmas—yeah, I said it—holiday starts tonight at sundown. And even though I’m hoping to get a few specific gifts this year, there’s only one thing I really want to find wrapped in a giant box on Day Eight: a nice, Jewish boy. I don’t think it’s too much to ask; I go to school in New York City, for Moses’s sake.

But I’m not the only one who should be angling for some Semitic lovin’ this holiday season. Dating Jewish boys is the best, and everyone should do it. Why? Well, I’m glad you asked:

-  They’re funny. If you need proof, Wikipedia has 228 pages in its “Jewish comedians” category. Sure, a lot of them—Woody Allen, Al Franken, Howard Stern—aren’t exactly dreamboats. But Seth Rogen, Michael Showalter, Jon Stewart (real name: Jon Stuart Leibowitz), and plenty of other dudes are the whole package: Jewish, funny, and cute.

- Even if your Jewish guy doesn’t have a quick wit, he might have a Jew fro, which is probably hilarious enough to compensate.

-  Jewish dudes have so many neuroses that your quirks will seem tame and adorable by comparison. Read More »


My Virginity Is (Was) Worth WHAT!?

article-1113188-03070c5a000005dc-892_468×359.jpgLosing your virginity is an event that most of us anticipate so highly, we’re left feeling either disappointed in how it turned out or – if we’re lucky – it’s exactly as we imagined it would be. Whatever the case, and whether or not you’ve already lost your virginity, chances are it isn’t something you take very lightly.

One woman, however, takes the idea so lightly (or is so strapped for money), she’s decided to profit from it.

Natalie Dylan, a 22-year-old college graduate from San Diego, California, has decided to auction off her virginity for tuition money for grad school. She has agreed to make a one-night-only appearance at Nevada’s legal Bunny Ranch brothel with the lucky winner of the auction. When the story was first reported back in September on Howard Stern’s radio show, Dylan received bids of over $243,000. She claims that over 10,000 men have put in bids, recently reaching as high as 3.7 million dollars. (Editor’s Note: WTF? I gave that sh*t away for free!)

Although surprised at how far this has gone, she has said: “It’s shocking that men will pay so much for someone’s virginity, which isn’t even prized so highly anymore.” Or maybe it is. I mean, how many girls in their twenties are still holding onto that prized V-Card?

I just have to wonder why someone would be so willing to spend millions of dollars for a night of sex. Most guys I know are scared about taking a woman’s virginity.

What do you think? Is this entire situation weird, or is this girl one smart business woman?

Paying Your Bills With Sex: Life as a Legal Prostitue

natalie.jpghoward.jpgWith all this talk about Howard Stern helping to auction a college grad’s virginity off at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch (a legal brothel) in Nevada, we here at CC have got to talking about legal prostitution and how strange that life must be.

Natalie Dylan (not the girl’s real name) is a Sacramento State graduate currently seeking a way to pay off her student loans.  Naturally, the 22-year-old brunette thought that letting the highest bidder take her V-Card was the best way to score fast, tax-free cash. Somehow Stern is involved, and because he’s involved, everyone and their mother is buzzing about the morality of the issue.

But we’re not interested in whether God likes it if you let dudes pay you for sex.  We’re interested in what life must be like inside the Moonlight Bunny Ranch.  Do prostitutes really like their job?  Does it ever get…like…tiring?  Are they happy?  Damaged?  And what about the guys who go there?

A few years ago, 20/20 did a report on the Moonlight Ranch, and we were able to find a clip where a lot of the girls spoke about their future plans, and why they were legal prostitutes in the first place.  What’s interesting is that even though none of the women seem out and out unhappy, there’s a distinct hardness to everyone. I’m here because I have to be their eyes seem to be saying, I’m here and I’m fine.

Take a look at the video after the jump and let us know what you think.  What’s your opinion on legal prostitution…and about this whole Natalie Dylan issue? Read More »
