I love hating on Tom Cruise

1. He’s annoying 2. His movies suck 3. He was in “Top Gun” 4. I’m increasingly convinced he’s more Jim Jones than Kool-Aid drinker. Freewinds‘ laborers decorated the boat with posters from Tom Cruise’s movies, and the entertainment was Cruise-themed. Paris continues, “The band did all the songs from his movies, except the one he [...]

Why are gays so gullible?

Accidentally caught a little bit of the Lady Gaga Thanksgiving special at a friend’s house tonight. Unplanned, but we couldn’t turn away. Especially when she shared her tale of bullying. Apparently Stefani Germanotta wasn’t allowed to sit at the popular table in the prep school cafeteria. Bravely, she soldiered on. She should be grateful. Everyone [...]

A Malcontent exclusive: J-Lo actually from Celebration, FLA

I’m beginning to wonder if Jennifer Lopez, who likes to remind everyone she’s the realest, most unassuming celebrity on the planet, has ever been to the Bronx. The commercial shows Lopez “driving a Fiat 500 Cabrio as she travels through the streets of Manhattan to the Bronx where she grew up,” according to a Fiat [...]

When forces of evil collide — only on FOX!

A flash mob reality show hosted by Howie Mandel? This can’t be happening.

Russell Simmons keeps pushing my buttons

Raging hypocrite Russell Simmons visited Occupy Boston today (probably signing up new stooges for his exploitative prepaid debit card) and proceeded to jump on the most obnoxious bandwagon of all. Had I been there I would’ve snatched that godforsaken Red Sox cap from Simmons’ bald dome and flushed it down his platinum gold toilet. Filed [...]

My eyes are bleeding

Tom Cruise plays an aging rock star in the oh-so-cleverly titled “Rock of Ages.” Turns out he really liked doing a musical. What a surprise.   Filed under: Film, Obnoxious celebrities, Scientology

What took her so long?

If you said 7 you win the “How Long Before Gloria Allred Capitalizes on the Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Scandal” contest. That’s not to say Allred’s client, who will speak out today on alleged sexual harassment at the hands of Cain, isn’t telling the truth. I’m just pointing out that her lawyer has been involved [...]

President Obama responds to Ben Stiller

Like a few other Hollywood notables, Ben Stiller isn’t thrilled with President Barack Obama these days. Talking politics with CNN’s Piers Morgan, the “Zoolander” actor said it’s “been frustrating to see that we haven’t gotten further than, I think we would have hoped, in the last few years.” … “I’m disappointed that we haven’t seen [...]

So much wrong in these Larry King tweets

kingsthingsLarry King Julianne will be seen in Rock of Ages w/Tom Cruise. She told me at dinner that Tom is incredible as an aging rock star. Did his own singing! 3 Nov » kingsthingsLarry King It was at Wolfgang Puck’s new restaurant. @RyanSeacrest & girlfriend @juliannehough my brother Marty & dear friend Kurt Rappaport were [...]

The year in Russell Simmons

Recently I volunteered how Russell Simmons struck me as a “big phony,” despite scant evidence. Just a gut feeling. Score one for my gut. Since then we’ve seen Simmons defend woman-beating thug Chris Brown and identify with Occupy Wall Street (even though he owns a house with a gold toilet and peddles pre-paid debit cards [...]

Apoloigizing for my hometown

Though technically created in a lab by Dick Clark, Ryan Seacrest’s birthplace is listed as Atlanta (Dunwoody, to be exact, but close enough). We’re sorry. Having done his part to make pop music and TV unbearable the carefully programmed carbon rod on Wednesday announced he is branching out to movies. The budding producer’s first film [...]

I hate to become part of the problem but …

The American public, with a sizable assist from the navel-gazing media, is responsible for the virus knows as Kim Kardashian. I hate to contribute to the debasing of the culture by even acknowledging its existence but I can’t let this comment, contained within a letter to its “fans” regarding the demise of her 72-day marriage, [...]

Further proof I don’t hate saying I told ya so

It appears Russell Simmons is an even bigger phony than I thought. The man had a solid gold toilet in his house for Chrissakes. He also peddles a pre-paid debit card that exploits the poor (Florida’s attorney general is investigating the hip hop mogul’s RushCard for making fraudulent claims and charging hidden fees). So it [...]

Actually, I don’t hate to say I told ya so

A new biography on the life of Walter Payton alleges that the NFL Hall of Famer numbed his maladies by robotically ingesting the painkiller Darvon during his playing days, was involved in extramarital dalliances and fell into a depressed state that included heavy self-medication after his NFL career ended in 1987. I interviewed Payton in [...]
