Is Anderson Cooper the next Oprah? He launches his daytime talk show by showing off his body while getting a spray tan with Snooki. What explains his endless hunger for attention? Apparently money cannot fill the hole created by this neediness. (Thanks, Christophe).

Madonna absolutely loathes hydrangeas
But why?! (Thanks Christophe).
Indiana senator hooks up with 20 year old guy from Craigslist

Gleaming wedding ring notwithstanding, are all Republican senators gay unless proven otherwise. Phillip Hinkle, an Indian Republican state senator, met a 20 year old guy on Craigslist, and committed some form of sexual assault. Bravo to the victim’s older sister who defended him. (Thanks Christophe in Paris for keeping us up to date).
Glitter Attack on Newt!
Nice move! (via Christophe)
All hail the Inseminator

Why would Arnold Schwarzenegger and the lion-like Maria Shriver (Kennedy) divorce after 20 years of marriage, and just months after his 8 years as governor of California? They seemed the perfect attention-starved power couple: he had money and an office, she had the name and media savvy. Isn’t that enough?
Christophe provides the Inseminator title and LA Times story exposing the Inseminator’s recently acknowledged ten year old child with a 20 year veteran of the household staff.
As the Japanese say, that’s “no0 guudo” (ノー・グウッド).
I wonder if those French just made this up to distract from the high profile Socialist politician IMF chief arrested for rape in his $3,000 per night suite. I am ready for all female political corps! More cougars, less violence, no?!
Current Japan PM’s wife offers him tough love

The last PM’s wife claimed to have traveled to Venus and to feed daily by eating the sun with her husband. Current Prime Minister’s wife Kan Nobuko wife said that if she lived her life again, she would not choose the life she had already lived. And her reports of tough love suggest that their daily life is full of volatile policy and personal conflicts.
From the BBC News (via tipster Christophe):
The prime minister’s wife said she supported him by giving him such a tough time at home, and that he preferred going to parliament for question time.
“My husband sometimes says to me: ‘I really hate going to the Diet because everyone is so mean and critical, but it’s a lot easier being subjected to this criticism at the Diet than fighting at home with you’,” she said.
“That’s a way to get him out of the house and go to the Diet, so maybe that’s the way I can support him.”
These would be unimaginable words spoken by the Stepfordly obedient and adoring wives of United States presidents. Is this a sign of freedom and power, or something else entirely?
Unmentioned in this new story is the role that Ms Kan reportedly played rehabilitating her husband’s political image after a sexual harassment scandal in the 1990s. Others credit her outspokenness to the powerless of Japanese women, whose statements do not carry much importance no matter how incendiary.
Oh, and apparently she wear very elegant kimonos and speaks in a vulgar manner. I will try to learn more about Ms Kan.
(Don’t worry, Kathryn, there’ll be more Nakano yankii hotties soon after this political detour).
You need to get off Facebook
Thanks, Christophe, for sending me this video. I love its paper-based story telling, emo model, and setting in downtown Seoul.
Showgirls, reimagined as Black Swan art movie
A mash-up of the art film Black Swan and the Showgirls trailer. Very funny. Thanks, Christophe!
“This video worked. I don’t want to have sex with either them.”
Major yucks. I can’t agree more with YouTube commenter magog1138, quoted in this blog post title. Thanks, I guess, to Christophe, for bringing this nasty video of Bristol Palin and “The Situation” talking about safe sex and (failed) abstinence.
George Takei says, “You are a douchebag”
Thanks, Christophe, for the link to this video. George Takei is awesome!
