Talk about stupid celebrities.

Who makes you scream, "What were you thinking?" Does Matthew Perry have a drug problem or an eating disorder? Has Whitney fried her brains? Is Angelina Jolie a nutcase, an attention hound, or both? And what in the hell has been up with Kirstie Alley's hair for the last three years?

I'm the dumbass who always believes what the PR people say. "Oh, he had a stomach virus. No, the flu. One or the other. Poor Matthew Perry!"

Whitney is just a freak. I think she's stayed with Bobby Brown so long only because she'd just hate to admit everyone was right about him.

Angelina Jolie is both an attention hound and a nutcase. More an attention hound, though. "Oooh, look at me! I'm bad! Look at me! Look at me!"

Kirstie Alley lost any respect I might have had for her (admittedly, not much) when she left Parker Stevenson for that dorky little boy.

Two words: Celine Dion.

She's evil.

She wasn't always. I can remember when she was a fun happy pop star. Before she started singing in English. Before she became the Soundtrack Queen. After that, there was the huge wedding in Montreal, where she wore an ostentatious head dress thingy that was woven into her hair. When she removed it, it took chunks of her hair out. Then there was Titanic. Then she dropped so much weight that rumours of an eating disorder popped up. And a second wedding in Vegas-- to the same guy (Her manager, who's known her since she was 12). Then fertility treatments (I think that she could have saved herself the money and just EATEN! Now wonder she couldn't conceive!) Now she's breeding. Aaak.

Also, what's up with Jim carrey? Does anyone really think he's funny?

ANGELINA AND BILLY BOB. If you have not read the article then please buy/borrow/peruse for free US magazine right now. I can't believe there are two people over the age of 16 who can say those things, knowing that they will be published (and referred back to for eternity), without pissing themselves. Even if he/she believes in his/her heart that every word is true why would anyone (in their right mind) offer up that kind of private information for public consumption?

The trouble with these people is, the more they deny their obvious problems, the less we believe them.

And now we're hearing that Michael Jackson has had every single one of the mirrors in his house removed, because he's going through "an identity crisis". Honey, the rest of us could've told you that years ago. Try getting rid of the bleach instead. Skin disease my ass.

I still haven't made my mind up about Angelina Jolie. She's either an attention seeking, limelight-hogging freak or completely stark raving mad. I'm leaning towards the freak, though. I have no desire to see Angelina as mad enough to be cool.

I think Matthew Perry needs some privacy. I think he's gay and living in the closet and its turning his PR people into freaks about other things. Would totally ruin his "Friends" image for him to be, in fact, gay. I think the whole girl friend he's still friends with is completely bogus. So I think he has both a drug problem AND an eating disorder.

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NO MATTER WHAT, WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE BOY HAS PROBLEMS A VERY GOOD THERAPIST MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP HIM WITH!

He, however, needs to stand behind Angelina Jolie. I think she's stark raving mad. That wasn't acting in "GI", that was reality. Those comments about her sex life, their love, and everything else, just flat out, unequivocally insane. And its her saying this crap, not her people because you couldn't make up shit that weird - ask Matthew Perry's folks. Angelina is proof that truth is better than fiction. (if only my site was up, I'd add a link. Started not to put that, but it is sooooo true.)

Whitney. Again...

Why can't these people say, yes, you are right, I need help. Finally, something celebrity has done for me - pointed out the blantantly obvious and gotten me some much needed (and deserved) help. Instead of being poster children for how I can screw up my life, they can be examples of how to get your shit together when people try to help you.

Frankly, I'm sick of them all.

Curious, anyone else share my opinion that Matthew Perry is gay and covering up is creating some of his problems???? Or maybe that's too gossipy for here. Personally, I think it would have been cool had one of the "Friends" been gay - other than Carol. Don't mean to offend anyone if I do....

About Jim Carrey--

Yes, not only do I think he's super funny, I think he's no less than a comic genius. We'll see what people say when I'm old. :)

-- Anonymous, June 20, 2000


I think Angelina is a total lunatic. I think it's quite possible that she's doing all this for the attention.

Actually, quite frankly i HOPE she's doing it for the attention.

Matthew Perry is so damn cute that i've never given a whole lot of thought as to the rumors that he's got an eating disorder/drug addiction/secret homosexual life. I'm too busy wiping drool off my chin.

Whitney. Ugh, it just upsets me too much. It's sort of like Pamela Anderson Lee. Tommy abuses her (wasn't it while she was pregnant?), she has a young child, and so she goes back to him?! Oh Jesus...

Um, i do think Jim Carrey is funny.

But man, someone get Celine Dion off the magazines. I cringe every time i go to Nickels for breakfast (a diner type place with kick-ass breakfasts and specials where your second plate is five cents, etc, for you Americans who are wondering what i'm talking about...). You see, Nickels is partially owned by Celine, and so there are pictures of her, every few songs are hers (ugh) and even the screensavers on each computer terminal for the cashes are of her.

Blagh.

I personally think Jim Carrey is SO funny. His characters are SO believeable that I forget he's ACTING! He has captured the essence of the people he portrays to a science! He's GREAT! IMHO

Hey, speaking of Celine Dion, has anyone else seen those weird vitamin commercials she's in? (At least I think that's her...) I just started seeing them recently--they show Celine, apparently first thing after waking up in the morning, taking some sort of alka-seltzer- like vitamin that dissolves in water while talking about how great it is.

The really weird thing is that the commercial looks like it was shot for about $500, and I've never heard of the brand being advertised. Isn't Celine supposed to be a big star? What is she doing in this commercial?

Well, as somebody on alt.gossip.celebrities said about Whitney Houston, if you're going to have a sham marriage to hide behind, make it a GOOD sham marriage. This nonsense with Bobby Brown is unbelievable.

The clock has begun ticking on Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas too -- when you start reading puff items about how happy they are and how much her family just LOOOOVES him, you know it's over.

So was that old story about Whitney, Jodie, and Kelly McGillis true? It was all over UCLA when I was there.

Why do I just not think it would be that big a deal if Matthew Perry were gay? Am I way too innocent for Hollywood?

-- Anonymous, June 20, 2000


I've heard the Whitney, Jodie, and Kelly story many times. All this means, of course, is that it's a good story. :) The woman I've heard most often identified as Whitney's longtime girlfriend recently left her, which has been a big sign to people that she's in serious hurt.

Strangely, despite the fact I think everyone in Hollywood is gay (just ask Darin -- it makes him crazy), I don't think Matthew Perry is gay. Matt Le Blanc however -- *definitely.*

Here's some stupid musical celebrities, borrowed from Q Magazine's "When Rock Stars Go Crazy" (May 2000 issue). Quite a few are British-specific, but here are some that most of us should be able to get nonetheless, in ascending order of foolishness (i.e. the Beatles came in at 100 on the list, Jacko at 1).

The people who make me scream "What were you thinking?" the loudest are those leading men who get their first big money and then leave their wives -- who usually have been working to support the men's career for years. Not only is it a big betrayal, it has elements of financial swindle. I don't keep up with celebrity gossip much, but I understand Jim Carrey busted up his marriage as soon as he got his advance for "Mask." If true, shame on him. I hope the judge gives her everything he's got.

Matt Perry went to high school with my boyfirend. I can tell you pretty concretely that he isn't gay. I mean, anything is possible, but based on what I know of him, he likes girls.

-- Anonymous, June 21, 2000

Okay - I'll suspend my idea that Matt is gay and that's causing all his problems. sandeep mital? I could float his email address to one of those forums that talks about him all the time. That'll keep him from posting potty mouth words on the Xeney forum for awhile :-)

Maybe your boyfriend can talk him into getting a shrink! Really, gay or not, the boy obviously has issues. (Though relative to Ms. Jolie, he's a mecca of mental health.)

P.S. Anyone else feel like they are reliving a part of "Notting Hill"? I think I now regret saying that.

Tom, the same thing can be said about women.

I never really liked Mariah Carey, but I did appreciate her voice. But, when she left her husband and all of a sudden started appearing on the cover of every magazine, skin everywhere, talking about her "new look" and her "new attitude", the whole thing made me want to vomit.

mis, I sooo agree... Mariah Carey....*gag* I can't stand how full of herself she is...expecially when that new video came out where she spends 90% of it bent over so you can see down her shirt. Not what I want to see. Oh well, she's obviously proud of her new implants... And on another note...who thinks the Britney Spears implants stories are true? Why do all celebrities have to go get implants as soon as their first big cheque comes in? (well, the females anyway, lol)

I think the Britney implant deal is true - either that or she had one HELL of a growth spurt.

I put up a picture that i found elsewhere on the net with a before and after shot. Pardon the pimp-age, but you can see it here: Implants or no?

As an aside, on that same page i have an mp3 of a parody of "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" called "Make My Boobies One More Size". Fairly amusing.

I looked at the before and after pics of Brittney. I think the boobs could be God-given. She looks heavier all the way around in the second pic, and her face has filled out a bit, as well. She looks 15 in the first pic and 18 in the second.

IMHO, I think they're real.

Whoever said that Matthew Perry clearly isn't gay because in high school he dated a bunch of chicks?

I might have agreed with you once. But I just went to my five-year high school reunion, and one of my good friends showed up with his boyfriend in tow. This guy was someone *I* had a crush on for awhile -- he was a real ladies' man, dated tons of chicks. I was quite surprised to discover that his orientation had either 1) changed or 2) been effectively masked all those years.

I agree with Sara - Britney's boobies could very well be very real. I haven't paid much attention to Britney developing her chest overtime (or not) - I haven't paid much attention to Britney AT ALL, to be more precise - but considering my own daughter, who had a big growth spurt and went from nothing to ample in under six months, I'd say it's definitely a possibility.

Angelina? She's just another publicity whore. We should at least be thankful that she's only drawing attention to herself and her hubby. Remember Melissa Etheridge and David Crosby? That affair still manages to rile me like nothing else, even though it happened six months ago. I mean, c'mon! Using your own children, all of two and four years old, to boost your publicity? That's just sick, plain and simple. IMHO, Melissa has lost ALL her credibility - and she had a lot of it as far as I was concerned. I admired her songwriting, I respected her public profile and I adored her voice. Not anymore. The voice is still more or less the same, but the significance of her music and lyrics has been washed away by a tidal wave of Too Much Information.

Uhh, sorry about that. I believe I've ranted about this before....

Oh, one more thing - what's that about Kirstie Alley? You mean she's still alive?

Ummm. That's not what I said. I agree with you, that in some cases that might be the case, but it isn't here. To the best of my knowledge, which is fairly extensive, he isn't gay.

Beth, in answer to your 6/23/00 question for this thread, I thought Mary-Kate and Ashley looked normal on that site. It was, I admit, the sort of normal that makes me want to sneak up behind them (and their parents or backers or whatever) and hit them with a sock full of sand, but normal nonetheless. Perhaps it is the natural, sock-full-of-sand reaction to them that is making you think that they look skanky.

-- Anonymous, June 23, 2000

Well, it's that nude lipcolor/dark liner Pamela Anderson look that gets to me, I think. That look when added to the choker? Pure porn star.

Very skanky. Although I do like the sock fulla sand idea.

Can we at least all agree that Matt Perry has gotten fat? I haven't watched Friends for a few (three?) years, saw a few minutes the other day, and I have to say that time has not been kind to that cast. They should file a toxic workplace claim against the studio, or something.

-- Anonymous, June 23, 2000

I don't think Matt Perry is fat - its that all the other cast members are so anorexic that a normal sized person looks out of place. It looks like Courtney Cox Arquette tips the scales at 79#; so of course Perry looks overweight.

Speaking of annoying.... Can we have David Arquette put down?

Those anorexic bitches aren't WOMEN in the least bit. What the hell ever happened to the 1950's pin up girls, where a women had titts and ass, and a bundle of curves. Since when were eating disorders considered cool for hollywood. Wake up audience, Calista Flockhart ain't cute. How does she stand up?

-- Anonymous, June 24, 2000

I don't know why a celebrity would have a boob job and then deny it. It seems more acceptable in the current cultural climate than it ever has been in the past. Well, maybe it's cause she's only 18...but I can't think of any other good reason.

-- Anonymous, June 24, 2000

Matt Perry: Damned if I know, but he doesn't strike me as being particularly stupid like some celebs...I always drooled over Hugh Grant until the hooker thing- now I think "He went to Oxford? What?"

Whitney: Ok, you've become a really stupid drugged-up kook with a nasty husband, who loses it at every performance. Brillyunt!

Angelina: I like her craziness usually, but marrying Billy Bob's just scary. Fifth wife, he beat up on at least one of the exes...no wonder she er, runs the risk of dying during sex :P

Mariah's the most annoying dumb celeb to me lately. I used to like her when she was fairly quiet, friendly, wore sexy but tasteful clothes, and I thought she had a brain. Ok, so her marriage sucked big time and it's good she got out, but afterwards she became a total stupid skank. I can't stand seeing shots of her (barely covered) crotch up her WAY short dress, tits aflying, underwear shots...blech. Tacky. Bimbo.

sorry, folks, but I think Angelina Jolie is majorly cool and sexy and she's in most of my fantasies... The knives, the bisexuality, the incest thing with her brother, those legs and lips and eyes-- she's *my* fantasy girl. I can be appalled at her marrying Billy Bob, but since he's my age, what can I say (well, my current inamorata *is* five years younger than Angelina...)except...envy.

and i far prefer slender girls... it's not that Courtney Cox is just thin, it's that she's thirty-six. She's doing that sunken/bony thing that some women get as they decay.

what i do dislike is any celebrity who "finds what's really important" and repudiates his/her old life of debauchery.

Angelina Jolie isn't a nut case, she has personality which is more than can be said about some stars! and I think most stars try and be attention seeking, shes just going about it differently, but hey who cares she is a talented actress and at the end of the day thats all that matters!

I think Matt Perry is looking a lot healthier since the days he went all Skeletor on us. Which is pretty ironic I suppose, seeing he's apparently still on the painkillers. Have you heard that they actually pass them around as 'snacks' at Hollywood parties? Someone send me an invite.

As for Britney, she is the ultimate goddess of style. I don't really believe in her boob rumours, I bet it was just some big PR story so people would just talk about her and take notice. I guess it worked. The same with the Christina 'We hate each other' thing, which I think has benefitted the pair of them. I bet they're best friends in reality.

Oh and I'm rapidly losing all respect for Madonna. She's supposed to be the epitomy of 'cool'. Ooookay. She holds the illusion of coolness by continuosly latching herself on to 'cool'. In truth she is an old woman desperately trying to cling to her youth by praising and sheeping everything the youth of today regard as great. Madge, let go and grow.

I HATE MARIAH CAREY, SHE IS A CABBAGE.

Talking of Carey, Jim Carey is just insane. We only laugh at him because most of us wouldn't have the nerve to act like he acts. Which I suppose is a good thing.

Celine Dion looks as if she was created by some freak Sesame Street experiment.

And on a lighter note, can I please say how much I appreciate Sarah Michelle Gellar. She truly is the 'Chosen One'.

Lastly, sorry for my rambling, I can't afford therapy.

I dont see why people can't leave celebs alone. The reason that they're so "thin" is that they have to be to get jobs. Its unfortunate, but its true. The reason they seem to take pills is because they have so much pressure on them, they work ridiculous hours and have to do a lot of work for which they get injured from ie stunts. the media builds them up to be invincible when in actual fact, theyre just human beings like everyone else. as for being gay, it is an industry where more people are gay than any other profession, but that doesnt mean everyone is gay. it shouldnt matter if they are anyway, its their private business.
