It was shot for $25,000 in six days. Its male star was a film-crew member shoved in front of the camera as a last-minute replacement. Its director readily conceded it was not even a good movie.

Yet "Deep Throat" was a cultural phenomenon with theatrical grosses estimated at $600 million -- according to some sources, anyway -- and it became an emblem of decadence for anti-pornography crusaders and the namesake for an informer who helped bring down a president.

"Inside Deep Throat," a documentary that premiered at last month's Sundance Film Festival, examines the legacy of the 1972 flick, a forerunner of today's hardcore adult-entertainment industry and a touchstone for obscenity laws.

Produced by Brian Grazer, whose films include "Apollo 13" and "A Beautiful Mind," "Inside Deep Throat" opened theatrically in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and five other cities Friday. It will open in other cities across the country later in the month.

1 Always happy to spread smut information. I thought about giving this to the guys at G2, but your blog seemed a better fit for such 'deep' and 'far-reaching' material. The puns on this could go 'all-night-long' and 'fill' an awfully 'large' space.

Britney Spears says her dogs are better than Paris Hilton's pet Tinkerbell.

Britney claims her three chihuahuas - Bit Bit, Lacy Loo and Lucky - are far better turned out than Tinkerbell.

According to Britney's website she said:"My dogs are stylin' and profilin. Von Dutch just sent them the coolest little clothes. My dogs are so much cuter than Tinkerbell"

The stars are rarely seen without their dogs reports the Evening Standard. Britney's dog Bit Bit wore a diamond-studded collar to the Billboard Music Awards in December. Tinkerbell and Paris, meanwhile, sported matching outfits on reality TV show, The Simple Life.

--It's a battle of the bitches. (And I mean the dogs AND their owners).

Kanye West has a beef with Dick Clark. West won three Grammys on Sunday, including best rap album for "The College Dropout." But he lost the new artist trophy to Maroon 5, the same award he lost to country singer Gretchen Wilson at the Clark-produced American Music Awards in November. West complained bitterly about that defeat, but later apologized to Wilson. He also lost in his other two AMA categories.

Backstage Sunday, the Chicago rapper was still ticked off. "I do not apologize to Dick Clark or the AMAs because you should not have had me perform and have me nominated for so many awards but not have an award," he said. "I'm one of those guys that's like all new artists, `Oh, I just believe that everything is on the up-and-up' and now I see with some of those other awards shows that it's not."

West was the most nominated Grammy contender with 10 nods. He also won best rap song for "Jesus Walks" and shared best R&B song for writing "You Don't Know My Name" with Alicia Keys and Harold Lilly.

--Way to be a gracious loser, Kanye. Get over yourself.

1 okay, i don't know this guy...i have never heard his music...but he has come off as THE BIGGEST *SSHOLE known to mankind. NICE WORK, BUDDY! Jack*ss.

Posted by: Kelly P. at February 15, 2005 08:55 AM (4adEQ)

2 you have never heard of him? how can you say that if you dont know just what Kanye is?? if a white performer was acting like Kanye..yall would call him JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE or something..a black man who knows he is the ish...knows that he is good: he is an asshole? If you cant be your own best promoter then who can? We have been ripped for off and overlooked for so long..Kanye better stand up for his damnself. Black ppl dont need to stay in their place...do ya thing Kanye..Elvis was a man just like any other..did some of the same crap..now everyone see elvis at the local maket! FACE IT FOLKS!! GET OVER IT /end of black history rant lol

3 Wow. Umm . . . come again? I am white. I love hip hop music. There, those are my two qualifying statements. That being said, I think Kanye West is a cry-baby. Only one person can win an award, and all nominees are truly deserving. Aside from Leonardo Dicaprio crying about not being nominated for an Oscar for his role in "Titanic" (oh and guess what, he's white, and I think he's a cry-baby too for that episode), it's very childish to complain about not winning an award you are nominated for, yet we see this repeatedly with rappers - recall a certain someone charging the stage a few years ago? I sure do. Kanye has style and he writes good rhymes. That doesn't give him the right to bitch and complain and accuse Dick Clark of "keeping a brotha down" . . . END OF FRUSTRATED-WITH-BLACK-HISTORY-RANT-RANT!

4 i do agree that complaining is not showing a person's best side...but the media keeps reporting Kanye..not anyone else like this. so he gets the asshole labels? things will never be equal...hence my whole squaw about it. Call it all around...if it was elton john and billy joel...would we be still talking about this??? i doubt it..hell, it wouldnt even make a byline.

Posted by: Ru at February 15, 2005 04:10 PM (W0T6P)

5 it's all a big conspiracy...don't you know that all of us white folk just sit around all day and figure out how we can screw over black people?

Posted by: Shillelagh at February 15, 2005 05:12 PM (lrCbr)

6 Okay, how do you know I am not Black?? I could be Black and just not listen to hip hop music -it is possible! But, no, Ru, I am not...and that has absolutely nothing to do with it. I just have a huge problem with the "I was nominated a lot so I should automatically win" idea...it just seems completely ridiculous...I don't care if you are red, black, white, or green...it is a selfish, whiny, poor-sport kind of statement to make.

7 Well, I was gonna say that Kanye's hot and I really like "Jesus Walks", it's quite clever and a nice change of pace from usual rap topics. But, these observations clearly don't fit with this little back-and-forth y'all got goin' on over here

Posted by: Kelly at February 15, 2005 09:32 PM (ADPUC)

8 kanye showed just what a little bitch he is, but big and rich should have got the new artist award - they're gonna change everything

Posted by: cowboy at February 22, 2005 10:12 PM (CtGV6)

9 Kanye West is perhaps the second best producer of rap today behind Dr. Dre. Big and Rich are one hit wonders and Maroon 5 is not going to be around as long as Kanye. Kanye complained, but why can't you complain? He felt he was the best and said it. Kanye thought he was just being used for his popularity to bring more viewers to the AMA's because frankly the AMA's are not huge. Kanye West was the best new artist, period.

10 It's amazing what people cry about. Jesus Walks could have been a great testament to people, WHITE or BLACK, but instead people will just remember that he continues to play the race card. Pathetic.

The four members of Swedish pop sensations ABBA have reunited for the first time in 19 years.

Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog sent fans "crazy" by attending the premiere of the musical Mamma Mia at the Cirkus Theatre in Stockholm, Sweden on Saturday - igniting hopes the group will reform.

It was a particular shock, because Faltskog had snubbed previous opportunities to reunite with her former bandmates. A fan says, "It was absolute mayhem. No one was sure whether all four members would come but when Agnetha turned up, everyone went crazy." But a source insists a full reunion is unlikely: "All four of them were in the auditorium but unfortunately they failed to assemble for a photograph on stage. Only Benny and Bjorn got up there to take a bow. Both Agnetha and Anni-Frid remained firmly in their seats."

Lohan's a doll:

Teen queen Lindsay Lohan will soon join the ranks of Hollywood's plastic people, literally. The Mattel toy company is making a mini version of the stylish redhead as part of their line of dolls called "My Scene," according to USA Today.

The new imitation of the popular 'Mean Girls' star even comes red carpet ready, dressed in a fur-trimmed coat and heels. The Lohan inspired doll is scheduled to make its debut in New York at the American International Toy Fair, which begins on Sunday. It will reportedly hit store shelves this June.

Hurley says: "No shit."

Elizabeth Hurley is battling with local businessmen determined to expand a compost factory near her $4.75 million English country home.

The 39-year-old Estee Lauder model has joined a campaign to block the expansion of the manure-making plant which is situated just two miles from her rural retreat in Gloucestershire, England - because of the heavy stench.

Quenington Parish Council's Paul Lilly says, "Liz will do anything she can to help us. It has already started to make a difference."

Keanu Reeves made quite a night of it after the Baftas - even if it didn't go exactly to plan.

The Matrix star got so drunk at dinner after the awards that he failed to make it across the road to the post-Baftas bash at Isis nightclub.

A spy says: "Keanu was knocking back the booze in the Wolsey restaurant. He was having a great time." In fact, he was having such a laugh he stayed until the place shut.

He then headed for the nearest cab to take him to the Miramax party at the Sanderson Hotel.

Hip Hop Ho Tells All:

Usher, Jay-Z, Chris Rock, Ja Rule, Ice-T, Vin Diesel and other stars of hip-hop and movies who have had run-ins with Karinne Steffans may want to call their lawyers and spin doctors.

Steffans, the legendary hip-hop groupie/video vixen/wannabe actress who goes by the nickname "Superhead," just signed a "lucrative" deal with HarperCollins' imprint Amistad books to "tell all — and we mean all," said a publishing insider.

The source added, "The memoir is being described as a tell-all, but also a cautionary tale for young women who think that life in the entertainment world is all roses and no thorns. There is juicy dish on a number of multi-platinum and box-office blockbuster celebrities, including never before revealed tidbits about Karinne's escapades with some of hip-hop and Hollywood's leading men."

Steffans will detail a "five-day sex romp with a hugely successful, raspy-voiced rapper-actor not long after her arrival in L.A. in 2000; her much cherished time spent with actor Ice-T, whom she considers a mentor and credits with rescuing her and her son from an abusive relationship; and her last days as the ultimate party girl, living it up in Miami on New Year's Eve with the likes of Xzibit and Sean 'Puffy' Combs."

She had back-to-back court appearances in two separate cases in Los Angeles, first pleading no contest to attacking a woman with a whisky bottle. In the second, Ms Love, 40, pleaded guilty to possessing a forged prescription and painkiller oxycodone.

She must also do 100 hours community service, have drug treatment, attend Narcotics Anonymous and pay a fine.

Cheech and Chong may have joked about marijuana in their movies, but the comedians say they didn't touch the stuff when the cameras were rolling.

"We tried one time and we wasted so much film," said Tommy Chong, recalling a scene in "Up in Smoke." "We were in the car waiting for the cue, you know. And the camera's rolling and we're sitting there, you know, and neither one of us heard the cue."

Chong said he isn't ashamed of introducing millions of Vietnam-era kids to marijuana. "When you think of how many kids died drinking alcohol, I feel I've saved millions of lives," he said.

--Is anyone really buying this?

I had the Grammy Awards on last night while I was doing things around my condo. So, I can't really comment on a lot of the show because I wasn't paying much attention.

I did, however, catch Marc Anthony and wife J Lo's performance. And, um, J Lo should leave the singing up to her husband. He has a far superior voice. Was it me, or was she totally off key? Oh, and what the heck was she wearing during the performance? It was too Barbara Eden-"I Dream of J Lo" for me.
