Tangled: Nathaniel thinks it's no coincidence that cardboard cutouts of two notoriously closeted gay Hollywood stars from the remake of "Hairspray" were used at San Francisco Gay Pride. I think he's on to something (of course they needed stand-ins: Queen Latifah was too busy with the Dykes on Bikes crowd and god only knows which backroom John Travolta had wandered off to).

He Cannot Can Be Serious: Former tennis bad boy John McEnroe has finally put his famous temper to good use in a new commercial for PETA encouraging pet owners to spay or neuter their animals. (PETA via The PETA Files)
Reunion Tour: But does anyone even know who the Spice Girls are anymore? (And what is that android doing on the left???) (AP)
No Escape: Ex-Journey singer Steve Perry talks about the resurgence of his former band's 1981 hit "Don't Stop Believin'" -- which actually had become an iTunes bestseller when "Laguna Beach" used it a couple years ago and is now red-hot because of "The Sopranos" and "The Clintons." WARNING: don't count on a "real" Journey reunion. This bitterness runs way too deep; even Aamer Haleem would have no hope of reuniting this band. (Newsweek)
At Least She Lost Rod Stewart: Slim Fast has signed up model Rachel Hunter to be the spokesmodel for its new "Find Your Slim" campaign -- only she doesn't think she needs to lose weight (" I look very horsy when I get thin. It's not attractive:), has never had a Slim Fast shake and thinks it's "irrelevant" if she's being paid or not to endorse a product she knows nothing about. The only good thing about the interview is they ask her what she thought of Tyra Bankssaying she felt great at 161 pounds --and then immediately losing weight(!). (Newsweek)
Paris Hilton Superstar: It all makes sense now: She's an Aquarius. (NYT)
Make it Stop: President Bush, moving toward a constitutional showdown with Congress, asserted executive privilege Thursday and rejected lawmakers' demands for documents that could shed light on the firings of federal prosecutors. Is it 2009 yet? (AP)
Milan Dandies: On looking like a billion bucks. (NYT

But I don't get that from the linked article. If the paycheck were right, I'm sure we'd see a Journey with Steve Perry again...
It's after 2 a.m. and I just got back from attending my friend Larry's funeral in Fort Lauderdale. I hope to resume regular blogging...
