With that being said (no really, it is trash night on my street) here are some recent celebrity headlines that I found amusing.

Franklin angry at Beyonce Knowles

The big talk the day after the Grammy's was Aretha Franklin getting upset after Beyonce introduced Tina Turner as the Queen of Soul.

Franklin said,"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Knowles. However, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy."

Of course Tina did not mind what Beyonce said as she came out and did what she does best, put on a great performance. I have the upmost respect for Aretha but I'm of the belief that Beyonce got caught up in the excitement of performing with her idol who by the way is a legend in her own right.

PS: Franklin stepping one someone's toes? Talk about some scary shit.

Nicolas Cage Sues Kathleen Turner Over Dog-napping Tale

Seems the Ghost Rider is none to happy with ole' Serial Mom trashing him in her upcoming book - Send Yourself Roses: Thoughts on My Life, Love, and Leading Roles. Kathleen reveals that Nic Cage stole a Chihuahua and was arrested twice for drunk-driving while working on  Peggy Sue got Married. Anything involving Cage bores me to no end and what I want to read about are the sordid details of her affair with Michael Douglas. Or not.

Jack Nicholson's #1 pickup line

"Jack told Heart FM DJ Harriet Scott: "You walk up to someone you like and you're feeling relaxed, they think, 'Oh, here comes the shark' and you say to them, 'When did you get pregnant?

"You will have somebody off balance after that particular line."

The 70-year-old star insists he still has no desire to settle down and is on the look out for as many women as he can possibly get.

He said: "It's not just one romance, you want a lot more."

There it is fellas, from the man who has slept with more women than the Lakers score on the court in one season. Of course my favorite Nicholson revelation was a recent interview for Parade magazine. He talks about how Angelica Huston showed up on one of his movie sets and proceeded to kick his ass - she had just found out that a model he was dating got pregnant.

Randy Quaid's Seattle fiasco costs him future stage roles

While Dennis is busy with the upcoming G.I. Joe movie Randy is having the time of his life in Seattle getting fired from the play "Lone Star Love". Seems his antics have caused him to get banned from the Actors Equity Association.

1. During performances, he smacked a fellow actor on the back of the head.
2. Quaid warned another actor that if he made direct eye contact with the star, he would lose his job.
3. Quaid's "sexually inappropriate" comments included referring to an actress' "gynecological instruments."

If he keeps this up the chances of a sequel to The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle getting made will never happen. DON'T F@#K THIS UP RANDY.

Other ramblings/notes

  • Is Hollywood Elsewhere morphing into the Huffington Post?
  • Where does Perez Hilton fit in the gene pool?
  • If you have cable tomorrow night on Turner Classic Movies is a must see. Besides a Streisand double feature (Funny Girl, Hello Dolly) you have an opportunity to see one of the greatest musicals of all time, My Fair Lady.
