Dylan's Malibu neighbors sing outhouse blues

Bob Dylan's neighbors are upset that he has a portable outhouse on his property because the smell wafts through the neighborhood on ocean breezes.

Sheesh... these people should live in the country for awhile near a farm.

Perhaps Dylan's doing this on purpose....

Playing dress up

The creator of "Mad Men" has a son who has become a kind of fashion guru - no small feat in a place like Los Angeles. Here in NC, though, wearing a top hat, a fez or an ascot might get you a bloddy nose in second grade.

Be sure to view the slideshow.

Carrie Fisher, blogger

Carrie Fisher is now a blogger.

This woman is funny - be sure to read her post about the party she hosted for "Milk" (Paris Hilton showed up, but no one would confess to bringing her as a guest.)

Joaquin Pheonix - yes, it's a hoax

As we suspected, Joaquin Phoenix's recent "meltdown", where he gave up acting to pursue rap, is a hoax as part of a fake documentary he's working on.

Is it just me, or does Phoenix look like Ringo Starr with that scruffy beard?

Mickey Rourke on WWE?

Mickey Rourke, who received kudos for his work in the film "The Wrestler", has told "Access Hollywood" that he's signing up for an appearance during Wrestlemania; he'll go up against Chris Jericho.

Publicity stunt? Mickey Rourke weirdness? Has he Punk'd us?

(And, btw, why is such an item at Wired, anyway? What does that have to do with technology?)

Carrie Fisher, Star Wars princess and walking nutcake

Carrie Fisher talks about her new book, Wishful Drinking. Eccentric isn't quite the word to describe her. Some of the topics in the interview:

*Her former husband who left her for another man
*being told to quit acid by Cary Grant
*shock therapy? "Loved it!"

I'm just so...special....

A research at San Diego State University has concluded that today's young people are self-centered and narcissistic. The researchers have seen a steady rise since 1982 on a standardized test, the Narcissistic Personality Inventory.

And we wonder why young people, spending hours on MySpace and YouTube uploading the most mundane little details of their lives, are so fascinated with idea of celebrity ...

Brittney and Anna Nicole - why should we care?

According to CNN, the troubled star was seen at a tattoo parlor shaving her head. A crowd gathered and pandemonium broke out.

Along with all of the coverage of the troubled (and still dead) Anna Nicole, I'm becoming convinced that Americans's lives must be really fucked up - if they're following the escapades of a trailer park trash nut that couldn't sing her way out of a paper bag and a buxom golddigger with the intellectual capacity of a peanut as a way to feel better about their own existence, then life must be pretty sad.

A friend gave me the first season of Anna Nicole's reality show on DVD for Christmas a few years back. I could only make it through a couple of episodes before outright nausea set in. In the episode I saw, she was looking for a new house and crawled under a table to retreive something she dropped. She promptly got stuck under the table and required assistance from the crew of the show to get out from under it.

Can any homo sapiens be that dumb?

Is this really what we're watching on television these days?

Condi Rice, catwoman

Further proof, seen at CNN's website this morning, that Condi Rice is psychotic - her body language gives it away. She's always snapped by photographers with an expression that says "I'm going to laser beam you with my eyes" or "I'm going to rip your balls off."

Great image for the State Department to show diplomacy to the rest of the world, eh?
