Aren't feys cute when they're mad? They've even got high-pro homos pitching in...like Dan Savage and Army Maupy!
Happy Friday!
What is sadder – the death of Judith Barsi or her trashy grave? You be the judge.You might remember little Judith from her inimitable child performances in such films as Jaws: The Revenge and All Dogs Go To Heaven not to mention television’s Punky Brewster and Cagney & Lacey. But Judith’s life and budding acting career were both cut short when her father brutally murdered this concrete angel in 1988. Jozsef Barsi shot ten-year-old Judith and her mother Maria Barsi and then doused their bodies with gasoline and set the Barsi house on fire before shooting himself in the Barsi garage.
Although Judith was a beloved actress, tragically, she was buried with her mother in an umarked grave in a Los Angeles cemetery. But almost twenty years after her murder, fans stepped in to honor Judith with a trashy grave:
In June 2004, a fund was set up to get headstones for their graves. Judith's marker was placed on August 23, 2004 while one for her mother was placed on January 28, 2005. Future donations will go toward donating Beanie Babies to hospitalized children. Judith's marker reads "Our Concrete Angel - Yep Yep Yep" in reference to a popular song and her character Ducky's catchphrase from The Land Before Time. Her mother's marker reads "The wind beneath JEB's (Judith's initials) wings - Yep Yep Yep."Rest in peace, Judith!
Oprah's trampled fan, one "Orit Greenberg" claims she was trampled to death during a 2006 taping of the Oprah show, during which Oprah and her gay friend Nate Berkus failed to properly control their audience of insane admirers.
In her suit, Greenberg says that she, along with an "excess number of patrons," were gathered in a waiting room before the show. She claims audience members were then told to enter the studio and sit "where they wanted," causing a stampede. She says was pushed down a flight of stairs as the rabid fans "rushed the gate" while pushing and shoving one another.
This is not the first time the increasingly embattled hostess and her gay friend Nate Berkus have had to outrun the long arm of the law! In fact, you might remember that Oprah's last brush with a tort introduced her and the world to weight loss coach and "America's Pastor" Mr. Phil McGraw-- whom she met during a traumatic stay in Texas during that period when she was being sued by the world famous Bonanza Steakhouse Chain! Well let's just hope that Mr. Phil stays out of this one.
Now, as most of our loyal readers know, we here at FeyFriends have a firm, unwavering anti-tort-reform stance. After all-- what if Orit Greenberg had been carrying a cup of hot coffee during this incident?! As you can see, it's a slippery slope when hot coffee and followers of Ms. Winfrey are concerned! However, despite my strong pro-tort position, I do hope that the judge in this case (and surely Oprah's lawyers are hoping for the totally sympathetic-seeming Judge Hatchett!) will go easy on the legendary daytime queen of gab! Martha Stewart is one thing, but it just wouldn't be right to see Oprah Winfrey, talk show hostess and star of Alice Walker's THE COLOR PURPLE, behind bars!!!
Disgusted by former political wife Dina Matos McGreevey's insult-slinging whirlwind media tour last week, a former aide has now revealed that he engaged in many "three-way sex romps" before and during the McGreevey marriage!!! Driver Teddy Pedersen told the newspapers this weekend that he detailed the sexy menage-a-troises in a sworn deposition that will likely be used in the divorce
trial."It's frustrating to hear her call Gov. Spitzer a hypocrite while she's out there being as dishonest as anyone could be about her own life," said Pedersen, 29. "She's framed herself as a victim - yet she was a willing participant. She had complete control over what happened in her relationship. She was there, she knew what was happening, she made the moves. We all did. It's disgusting to watch her play the victim card."
Well, well, well.
In other faggy puppet news – the Canadian superstar corporate crooner FEIST! has just announced that she will be using puppets in her next video. She’s joining forces with the ultra-Canadian Old Trout Puppet Workshop - the team that created puppets for the klassic film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.Apparently Feist has always been a huge puppet lover...
this isn't Feist's first time working with puppets. The Grammy-nominated chanteuse once toured with Peaches as Bitch Lap Lap, a leotard-wearing rapper with a sock puppet.Who knew Feist had such a wild side?
Oh la la! Have you been dreaming of a hot night of amorous action with whorish superstars such as Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer "Jenny From the Block" Lopez, or Jessica Simpson? Right: WHO HASN'T?! And guess what? Now your dreams can come true, kinda, because RADAR has alerted me to a line of truly cunning celebrity look-alike inflatable sex dolls! All of the spicy ladies above are represented, along with some sexy, unexpected wildcards like Desperate Housewife EVA LONGORIA. (Strangely UNrepresented is a Britney doll. How can they not have Britney? I don't understand.)
The J-HO doll, pictured at right, is clearly the hottest. I can certainly see the J-Lo resemblance-- who else but Jenny would wear yellow eyeshadow on her NOSE?-- but really I like this doll because she also bears an uncanny likeness to Liza Minelli. WILKOMMEN AND BIENVENUE! The J-Ho doll comes equipped with the star's signature fat ass, which you can view for yourself after the button pressy thingy. If you work in an office with inflatable co-workers, don't click, because they might find this offensive.
No need to dirty your beautiful mind with tacky, blinking MYSPACE crap anymore! Courtney Love has jumped that sinking ship (or maybe it triggered an epileptic seizure?) and moved her famous blog over to TUMBLR.
On Courtney's new blog, she hopes to show the world that
"I am fully capable of spelling and grammar and stuff, and maybe a little OUTSPOKEN, but hardly crazy. So NO, I don’t type those things after cutting my fingertips with an Exacto blade. And NO, I’m not bipolar, despite what you read at TMZ. (Harvey Levin can eat my farts!)"
...and she slept here! That's right, the pilot episode of Ann Jillian's classic sitcom "Jennifer Slept Here" is finally available online! "Jennifer Slept Here" tells the story of a young boy (probz gay) who moves into an old mansion in Los Angeles with his parents, only to discover it is still inhabited by the ghost of its former owner...movie-star Jennifer Barrow, played by a pert, twinklingly vivacious Ann Jillian. And only HE can see her!
As a fey it's pretty easy to relate to the metaphor for adopting a classic-movie starlet as an imaginary friend, but beyond that I have absolutely no idea what t.f. the show was getting at, or how it hoped to wring stories from its retardo premise. I'm just glad it's finally back.
(For parts 2 and 3, go here and here)
Wayland Flowers must be turning over in his gayve! Just look at these SHAMELESS IMPOSTERS above: puppeteer Joe Kovacs and some two-bit diva fraud with the gall to call herself "Madame". This money-grubbing 'resurrection' of the Madame cash-cow, perpetrated by the Estate of Wayland Flowers (i.e., backstabberess supreme Marlena Shell, Flowers' former agent) has gone largely unreported. Where is the OUTRAGE?
If your stomach can handle it, I point you towards this footage of Fake Wayland and Fake Madame yukking it up on some gay-ass talk show.
A gay show called "The Ointment?" Pardon me while I go VOM. But the best (meaning WORST) part? Joe's lips...moving! Clearly, he is no Wayland!
As a lifelong admirer of Wayland Flowers and his sublime creation, Madame (host of "Solid Gold," protagonist of the immortal sitcom classic "Madame's Place", and lead actress of perhaps the greatest film of all time, "Madame in Manhattan") I find this travesty to be simply unforgivable.
I had the tiniest bit of a crush on this Raul Esparza fellow from his small recurring role on "Pushing Daisies", as Olive Snook's unrequited suitor Alfredo Aldirisio, but when I stumbled upon his brilliant performance as Bobby, the lead character in Sondheim's notoriously difficult-but-amazing "Company," on PBS one night it escalated into a full-blown obsession.I don't know what it is about him. Maybe it's the fact that he's openly at least sorta maybe gay? Maybe it has something to do with the character he played...In "Company", chronic bachelor Bobby struggles with issues of fidelity and commitment while going through one-night stands like Kleenex, so he's intriguingly slippery and unattainable. Also, "Bobby" is just a real hot name. (Come to think, so is "Raul".)
In the end, I think the reason I think he's hot is...BECAUSE HE'S HOT. He looks like my old favorite Gerard Butler (or "Buttzla" to those in the know) but less muscley and a bit doughier.
Which means he meets all my criteria for perfection: hot + approachable/attainable. Sigh.
I put up a clip of him performing a song from "Company" after the button pressy thingy.
OK, it’s not really “just in”; she’s had it since 2007. But guess what? She’s a poet!
This, from an entry dated March 2, 2008:
Beauty the sunset, its a still yet a moving emotional painting, the flag, the trees and the invisible wind, sits and waves in front, in front of my breathless heart, covered, covered the entire world, so much feelings, so much unspoken sweet sadness, so much beauty. I am sad with tears in my eyes can not stop, why am I such an emotional person and feels so much?She also talks about her harrowing experience of being slapped on the wrists for stealing two magazines and a package of AAA batteries from an LAX gift shop: an “innocent mistake.” Cut her some slack. She was dealing with "the huge problem of breaking up,” according to E! Online. “Wrong boyfriend.”
Navigating that, and a fit of poetic melancholy, who wouldn't engage in a little petty theft!
FEY ALERT: SUZANNE SUGARBAKER NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
Television star, beauty queen, COMPULSIVE HOARDER and interior designer/businesswoman, Suzanne Sugarbaker-- aka Dixie Carter Delta Burke-- needs your help! Entertainment Tonight reports that the TV legend is out of the mental hospital (where she was alarmed to learn that there weren't any mirrors!!!) and, as usual, she's feeling a little blue. So television's Mary Hart is sponsoring a special emergency Suzanne Sugarbaker E-Mail Relief drive, where we the fans can send the STAR our special e-letters of support.
Come on, Feyfriends! Who among us hasn't felt a little EXHAUSTED from time to time? Who among us hasn't needed/wanted to be rescued from a dangerous Xanax-and-Diet-Coke binge by television's MAJOR DAD? And most importantly: who among us hasn't spent many smiling hours glued to DESIGNING WOMEN on the Lifetime Network? (My favorite episode is the one where Suzanne loses her extravagant jewels IN the salad bar.)
Well now we can finally pay back the woman who brought us all that love and laughter. Let's all flap our wings together and send our special wishes to Ms. Potts! To participate in Mary Hart's e-mail drive, click HERE. I know you can do it!!
According to CNN:
“The 23-year-old prince holds the rank of cornet—equivalent to a second lieutenant—and serves as a forward air controller with a group called Joint Tactical Air Control, or JTAC.”Hot!
