Celebrity Tidbits Friday July 20 2007
Here are the top headlines in brief for the past few days:
• Michael Vick has been indicted on dog-fighting charges. He is the superstar quarterback from the Atlanta Falcons. Vick was charged with competitive dogfighting and conducting the venture across state lines. The 19-page indictment alleged Vick was highly involved in the operation, alleging that he attended fights and paid off bets when his dogs lost. It said he also was involved in the executions of dogs that did not perform well.
• Merv Griffin is not well.He has been hospitalized for a recurrence of prostate cancer, a spokeswoman said Wednesday. He was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for cancer discovered during a routine examination a few weeks ago, said Marcia Newberger, spokeswoman for The Griffin Group/Merv Griffin Entertainment.Fill the rest of this missing phrase in an homage to The Wheel Of Fortune: H_ I_ DY_NG.
• The new Harry Potter book has been leaked onto the Internet. It is said that you can also download free music on this internet thing too. I actually have a copy of the OJ book too…..thank you NET. As per the Harry Potter series….my prediction is that Harry is going to be killed….then maybe resurrected in the future with a shiny stone, ring, or amulet. The author is worth over a billion dollars and keeps extending this satanic nerd series for the sake of selling out. Harry’s gonna die….don’t cry. The kid’s gonna turn into a 41 year old Dillon on a tv show like 90210.
• Lindsay Lohan is now wearing a alcohol-monitoring device. She is doing this to prove to the paparazzi that she ISN’T drinking. She loves the attention and is even wearing shorts to show everyone.
• The Emmy nominations were announced today. We will announce the winners when they come up, so dont get your panties in an uproar. All I can say is, is that Ugly Betty got nominated for 11 Emmies, proving that the Emmy judges are mentally retarded.
• Picking up a household chore can lead to a happier marriage. So can oral sex.
• A Florida man was convicted of murder for feeding an injured girl to crocodiles. In his defense, the girl was a whiner.
• China has recalled 392,000 coffeemakers. They want you to really start drinking tee.

• Oprah Winfrey is mourning the loss of her dog “Gracie.” Flags will be at half mast tomorrow. Hail Harpo!
• Heather Mills has rejected Paul McCartney’s $41 million divorce settlement. Looks like Paul is going to lose an arm AND A LEG on this deal.
• John Travolta plays a woman in “Hairspray.” He also did a gay porn in the late seventies….allegedly. No new news.
• “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” hits theaters this weekend. It just hit the discount rake at Walmart four minutes ago.
• Drew Carey might be the new host of “The Price Is Right.” They were concerned about Bob Barker’s sexcapades with the models?! Wait til the Playboy mansion hound dog gets in there. The lawsuits will be a regular occurrence, mark my words.
