Tale of a Wal-Mart Tutor
Wal-Mart heiress
Paige Laurie got rich off "Everyday Low Prices" — but she allegedly paid top dollar every day
to hire a fellow student to do her homework.
Laurie paid her former college roommate $20,000 to write papers and do out-of-class assignments for much of her academic career at the prestigious University of Southern California in Los Angeles, according to ABC's "20/20."
--Hey Paige! Call me!

Creepy Christmas
This sure gives you that fuzzy Christmas feeling:
Liza Minnelli's creepy ex-husband, David Gest, has surfaced in Memphis — with a host of Z-listers to spread the holiday cheer.
"David Gest's All-Star Holiday Extravaganza" boasts such talents as Lou Rawls, Dionne Warwick, Deborah Cox, Petula Clark, Gloria Gaynor, Jerry Butler, Israel's "Legendary" Topol, and astronaut Dr. Buzz Aldrin.
--I wasn't sure anything could be worse than the Nick and Jessica Christmas Special, but this might take the cake.

What I wish I could get in on is Oprah's favorite things episode. This year's show was on today and those folks made out like bandits.
She had an audience comprise entirely of teachers this time around, which I thought was a wonderful thing to do. Think we could convince her in a couple years to do one for attorneys?

Baby Got Back
Filming for a TV commercial was reportedly held up -
because J-Lo's bum was too big for her skimpy outfit.
The singer failed to squeeze into her sexy black leather costume for the new Pepsi commercial, reports the Daily Star. Frantic staff had to stitch an extra piece of leather onto the outfit to cover the star's curvy bottom, according to the paper.
A set insider said: "It was quite comical, really. There were all these people ready to get on with the work when we realized there was a problem. "Basically J-Lo's num was just too curvy for the outfit."

Getty has dementia
Estelle Getty, the actress who played the lovable and witty Sophia on "The Golden Girls," is suffering from dementia but is not on her deathbed.
Despite recent tabloid rumors that she is dying, Getty's former castmates set the record straight, saying she is "not near death...not near death at all." Betty White, Bea Arthur, and Rue McClanahan reunited in Beverly Hills for the DVD release of the popular show and were quick to express how much they missed Getty at the event.
--How sad. I'll admit it: I loved that show. I still catch some of the reruns on TV. I also liked her character in the movie Mannequin.

"The Golden Girls" was a great show. It was one of the few shows we could get on our three TV stations growing up! Glad to hear the DVD series is coming out...now maybe I won't be the only guy who has seen it (on second thought, how many guys are going to buy it?). Oh, and what would the world be like without Estelle Getty? She is the cutest little old "grandma" in Hollywood!

Dating advice from Dr. Ruth
Ticked you got picked for jury duty? Bet you didn't think of this:
Dr. Ruth Westheimer thinks people should know that jury duty has an upside that doesn't get talked about much: It's a great way to get a date. "Jury duty is good way to meet men and women, a partner," Westheimer said.
--You're right, Dr. Ruth. That never would have occurred to me.

Basketbrawl
Ok, so our very own Indiana Pacers are having
some anger management problems.
In response, ESPN highlighted some of the most notorious player-fan brawls in sports.
--I'm in absolutely no way condoning the deplorable behavior of the players of my favorite NBA team (although I think Wallace got off too easy). But, when you remember some of the events on this list, it puts Friday night in more perspective--not that it's right, but it's certainly not the worst brawl that has ever occurred.

Lawren, I completely agree. There is nothing commendable about what happened Friday night. However, I certainly do not think our Pacers' actions were deserving of the harshest punishment in NBA history. Honestly, Mr. Stern!? The worst part of it is that hopeful Pacers fans are severely punished for this incident, while the wrongdoing Detroit fans (who were most to blame Friday, in my opinion) suffer only something like a six game Wallace suspension. What??
Posted by: Matt at November 22, 2004 07:56 AM (eCp2V)

As big a fan as I am of the Pacers, Ron Artest reacted in a way that was far too human.
If you or I got doused with a beer at a bar, we might react the same way. Of course, those actions come with severe consequences: the main one being arrested.
We needed Artest to step up and set an example and he didn't.
I don't pin the entire situation on him. I blame: players, fans, security...equally.
I have lots more to say about it (as do you), so I'll just shut up now.

it was artest's fault. wallace did nothing more than push him. the six games he got was actually pretty harsh for pushing someone in an NBA game if you look back at precedent. there is NO precedent for what artest, oneil and jackson did. going into the stands to punch fans cannot be excused in any way because someone threw a cup at you. stuff is thrown at players all the time and NO team has ever reacted the way the pacers did. it was sad and disgusting. the argument that artest and co were just protecting themselves is laughable. artest was hit by a cup. he then went into the stands for retribution NOT to protect himself. oneil and jackson were punching people as "payback" NOT to protect themselves. if you watch the tape there is no way to disagree. example....watch as oneil completely cheapshots a fan when he isn't looking while he is on the ground. sad. they should be in jail.

Funny how you, an unnamed person, doesn't mention the inexcusable behavior of the fans and their role in all this.
Funny how you, an unnamed person, ignores Ben Wallace's insistence on starting a fight (twice).
Funny how you, an unnamed person, plays off the fans' behavior as somehow irrelevant.
Funny how you, an unnamed person, fail to recognize that fans have no business being on the floor.
Funny how you, an unnamed person, misses the point entirely.
I don't for one second excuse the behavior of the Pacers. Nor do I excuse, for one second, the behavior of the fans.
Funny how you, an unnamed person, is so willing to incarcerate Pacers without doing the same to the fans who were sucker-punching Fred Jones and Ron Artest.
You can't have it both ways.
They ALL are to blame.
End of story.

I completely agree, Kevin. Even further, funny how the unnamed person fails to acknowledge that Wallace ALSO went into the stands. Six games is certainly NOT too harsh for him, especially considering what others received. All are to blame, but solely blaming the Pacers players is inexcusable in itself and being ignorant of the facts.
Posted by: Matt at November 22, 2004 12:01 PM (axSUe)

the Pacers were clearly the most to blame. don't you find it interesting that the vast majority of people outside of indianapolis, disinterested folks, fans of neither the pacers nor the pistons agree that the pacers were to blame FAR more than anyone else? the NBA feels that way as well. Kevin, your points are laughable. so what that fans went on the floor....so that means that thug players get to attack them? so what someone threw a cup at artest.....sure that is uncalled for but it doesn't give anyone the right to take out revenge on that person. take off the pacer-homer glasses and see this for what it was.....a couple of should-be-criminals throwing wild haymakers for NO OTHER PURPOSE but to exact their own form of retribution.

Oh, dear, Jvirus....you suffer from the same "it's one's fault, or the other" delusion. Such a small cage.
Go back and read what I said: "We needed Artest to step up and set an example and he didn't."
In case you missed my point, I'll spell it out for you: I THINK HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED IN THE SUSPENSION!
Nevertheless, that does not EVER EVER EVER EVER excuse fans who feel the purchase of a ticket entitles them to throw things or go onto the court.
Everything happened fast and, at several points, this could have been avoided. Ron Artest should not have gone into the stands. I can't say that more freakin' clearly.
Even if he didn't, I'd be bitching about the fans behavior.
I've been very vocal about ALL combatants acting poorly. Not once did I wear "homer" glasses, as you accuse.
And I especially love how everybody's saying either Artest was defending himself or the players were acting like thugs.
The players AND the fans were wrong. I've said that over and over and over and over. It is you, Jvirus, who so chooses to be selective in what you see and read, not me.
See, unlike you, I can clearly see that there is plenty of blame to go around. Unlike you, I do not just casually brush off the fans' behavior as simpl "uncalled for."
And yes, if fans get on the floor -- or the field -- and are uninvited, you get what you've got coming to you. No, that does not excuse what Artest or Jackson did. Not for one second and I would never suggest that. But look at what happened in Chicago last year, when two "fans" attacked a coach. You cross that line and you get clocked, you deserve it for being an idiot. Getting attacked in the stands...no.
I'm sorry for you and that small cage in which you so proudly choose to live.

Alright, folks. Time for a "gamer's" perspective on this!
First of all, I want an answer from David Stern as to why Rasheed Wallace did not receive so much as a 1-game suspension for "leaving the bench" during the incident. Reggie Miller, Chauncey Billups, Derrick Coleman and Elden Campbell all received 1-game suspensions for "leaving the bench" during the initial altercation. According to the NBA rule, merely leaving the bench, even to break up a fight or prevent one from happening, results in a 1-game suspension. If you watch the tape, clearly the named individuals did so. Reggie did nothing more than try to separate Artest from the rest of the action, even holding him down on the scorer's table at one point - not forcibly. HOWEVER, not only did Rasheed Wallace (let's not confuse him with Ben) leave the bench, but he actually went into the stands during the fight, yet no suspension for him. Not even a mention of it. This simple mistake on Stern's part shows inconsistency with the punishments handed down.
I agree that Artest should be suspended from the league for the entire season. And yes, Mr. JVirus, or Mr. No Name, I am a Pacers fan, raised in Indiana. Also, I can't help but think Jackson deserved the worst of them all. Sadly, I can't help but think Stern punished Artest partly - however small - for his reputation around the league.
Rest assured, the fans of Detroit who were directly involved will see criminal charges filed against them. Hopefully this list includes the initial beer thrower, the two men wearing Pistons jerseys / hats who actually ran onto the floor, the LARGE man who grabbed Anthony Johnson from behind and punched the back of his head for doing nothing but trying to break up the fight, the 2 men who grabbed Artest while he was in the stands, and anyone else identifiable on videotape.
One thing's for sure, the overall winner in this event will be the plaintiff's attorneys who were lucky enough (cynically speaking, of course) to get their hands in the pot. If the Palace officials were not familiar with the term "negligence" before, they are now, bet on it!

Modest Pitt was invited by James Lipton to review his film career and discuss his acting methods on the Bravo program, when his blockbuster Troy came out this summer. According to American gossip site Pagesix.Com, Pitt said that he didn't have a "sufficient body of work".
--I gotta say this earns major points for him in my book. It seems as though he truly cares about the craft of acting, and less about the notariety that goes along with it.

Maybe he just didn't want to have his ass kissed by that suck-up, James Lipton.
Not to mentiong....HE HAD JENNIFER FREAKING LOPEZ ON THAT SHOW!
That, alone, tells me this show is no longer about "the craft."

The J.Lo and Ben Affleck series were an absolute blow to Lipton's credibility. I did agree with Drew Barrymore as a selection, contrary to most others. She's had quite a career dating back to "E.T."

Wow, for some reason, readin' all of this got me to wonderin' if Drew Barrymore and Brad Pitt had ever done a picture together. It turns out they have and it is one I have yet to see. I'll now have to look for it.

Fashion News
The Bushes want Badgley:
The Bush women are giving up the provincial look for glitz. First Lady Laura Bush and daughters Barbara and Jenna — who wore inaugural gowns designed by Texan Michael Faircloth and family friend Lela Rose four years ago — want to wear Badgley Mischka to the January inaugural.
--Excellent choice, in my opinion.

Who's the Sexiest of them all?
Jude Law is the sexiest man alive? PLEASE! I strongly disagree with this decision.
I personally think he's creepy looking, and his role in The Road to Perdition affirmed that for me.
As for People's other choices: Orlando Bloom (not really), Jake Gyllenhaal (if you like guys that look 10 years old), Usher (don't like his ears, but he oozes sexy), Colin Farrell (too dirty for my taste, but sexy), Brad Pitt (when he's not too hairy, he's perfect--a la Ocean's 11), Matt Damon (not bad), Ben Affleck (eh, he's ok), Bruce Willis (definitely) and Johnny Depp (not if he was the last man alive). Hello? Where is Colin Firth? Where is Clooney?
Us Weekly named Jesse Metcalfe, who plays Eva Longoria's on-screen gardener on "Desperate Housewives," as the sexiest man on television. (Can't disagree there).

what the hell is wrong with People mag. George Clooney is the sexiest man alive hands down and he'sn ot even on the list!?!?! Brad's pretty hot too. I need them to both be clean-shaven as they were in Ocean's Eleven. Can't wait for 12. Okay, now I'm rambling!

Just commenting on those listed: Jude. uh huh. He's hot. Orlando Bloom? Only in Lord of the Rings. Jake Gyllenhaal? Who? Usher? Talk about someone who looks 10! Colin Farrall is hot hot hot hot hot. Brad? Sure. Matt Damon? Absolutely, positively. Ben? Cute. Definitely cute. Sexy? I don't know. Bruce? 5 years ago. JD? If you don't want him, I'll have him.

I think Jude is fantastically gorgeous. He's more of a 'pretty boy', so I guess you have to like that look. If you're into Clooney, then I can see why Jude is not your thing. Regardless, i give the pick a big "YES!"

What! I'm not on the list again :-( Sean Connery made it on at age 59 so I still have a few years to work on it.
Jude Law???? I guess People wanted someone 'different' this time. Might I suggest Pierce Brosnan as an alternative to Clooney lovers.

Lawren, this might just ruin our friendship. Jude Law is SOOOOOOOOO Hot! I have been saying it for years, (since Talented Mr. Ripley) and now everyone else agrees. And the fact that you found him so creepy in Road to Perdition is a testament to his acting skills (with a little assist from makeup). Look at those eyes!
Clooney has already been named before, hasn't he? It will get pretty boring to have the same guy again and again.

Ok, have to confess here too. Does anyone else feel REALLY bad for thinking Scott Peterson is hot also?
Posted by: chuck at November 18, 2004 09:21 AM (vX43J)

Okay, chuck...as soon as I saw the cover...my brain put the "sexiest man" title with Scott Peterson!!!!! I do think he is...and I feel EXCEEDINGLY BAD FOR IT! And where the hell IS Colin Firth???? 'Kay, I love Jude Law and Johnny Depp...but I can't see the Orlando Bloom thing -Viggo Mortensen - yes. And certainly not Bruce Willis...ick...he hasn't been hot since "Moonlighting"! AGAIN - where is Colin Firth??????????

Gee, with all the Colin Firth references, everyone probably already knew that was MY post...as I am a bit obsessive about him...but just in case...that last post was mine. duh.

Personally, I think Star Jones is the sexiest man alive...but that's just me.

I'm not big on Jude Law. Which makes this entire year a bit unfortunate for me. As for the true sexiest men out there...I think talent plays such a huge role. Which is why I still adore Steve Malkmus and have such a burgeoning crush on Ted Leo. Strict hottness-wise though, I'll go with non-machinist Christian Bale, and Michael Vartan.

Thassall.

I am impressed with the list this year. Not all personally work for me, but I still see why they are on the list.
What I completely disagree with is the comment about Bruce Willis not beening hot since Moonlighting!

I've had quite a thing for Bruce Willis for quite a long time.

Gropin' with Sharon
Sharon Osbourne says she invited Robbie Williams to her home in Los Angeles,
so she could grope him.
When asked if her eldest daughter Aimee was dating Robbie she said: "No, I am. How gorgeous is he? You just want to touch him all over." She added: "I just invite him over to give him a good squeeze.
"He is gorgeous, isn't he? His bottom feels good, don't you just want to touch his little willy?"
--So subtle, Sharon.

Designer Sweet Treat
Dylan Lauren, daughter of Ralph Lauren, has created truffles that look more Britney than Godiva. Her new Spectrum Truffles (nine in total) are bright and colorful and come in flavors like apple pie, key lime pie, strawberry and marshmallow.
Since opening her store, Dylan’s Candy Bar, in 2001, Dylan has provided a sanctuary for sweet celebration. The store includes Wonka-worthy spectacles like a candy spa line, an ice cream and dessert café, and a candy party room, where you’re free to eat as many Spectrum Truffles as your inner child desires. There’s also a 12-foot tall chocolate bunny and a tree made of lollipops.
The truffles go for $20 and you can purchase them online here.
