Do the Beckhams Need a Bailout?

trix — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:32:00 GMT

You know the economy is bad when David Beckham can get fired form one of his very lucrative endorsements contracts.

Did you know that he had the Pepsi contract for 10 years? I didn't.

That's a lot of money.

But the money train from Pepsi stops here and now. The company spokesperson said, “We wish David well with the many projects he is pursuing and look forward to the possibility of partnering together with him again someday.”

Well, all's well that ends well I guess. He has plenty of money coming in from a zillion places so this is just a drop in a bucket.

Sarah Palin Disney Movie: Head of Skate

Whit Honea — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 22:11:00 GMT

Matt Damon got it started. He said something along the lines of Sarah Palin running for vice-president was like a bad Disney movie which made me love him a little bit less because everyone knows there is no such thing as a bad Disney movie (possible exceptions include anything with The Rock or direct-to-video).

The good people at CollegeHumor thought that Damon was on to something. One thing led to another and now Head of Skate is just an Iger nod from a November release.

Here is the trailer. I feel an Oscar.

Holy high-sticking, America!

Todd Palin Subpoenaed!

Whit Honea — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 22:16:00 GMT

After much speculation regarding the probe being conducted by the Alaska State Judiciary Committee Todd Palin will be questioned.

The potential First Dude, husband of GOP Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin and father of 5, is, according to People, "to be subpoenaed in the state investigation into whether his wife possibly abused the power of her office to have her former brother-in-law fired from his job."

Never a dull moment in the GOP!

Barbara Walters Wants Sherri Shepherd Off The View

Karen — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 15:52:00 GMT

Sherri Shepherd has been getting on Barbara Walters last nerve.

From The National Enquirer:

“Barbara has had it with her,” said the source. “Barbara was shocked that Sherri would say she needs to be ’saved’. She’s dumbfounded by the stupid things that keep coming out of Sherri’s mouth…

Barbara has been saying that Sherri’s a “loose cannon,” added the source. “And after hearing what she said to a Christian magazine, word came back from Barbara that she wants to boot her off the show.

“Barbara thinks Sherri has become far worse of a problem than Star Jones and Rosie’s O’Donnell when they were on the show - and that’s saying a lot!”

While Barbara is ready to see Sherri move on from “The View,” insiders say it’s unlikely there will be a dramatic firing.“Barbara may first give her a chance to shape up before shipping her out…

“And if Barbara does let Sherri go, expect a fun farewell with the whole gang saying only nice things about Sherri in public.”

I hate that show. All the crosstalk between them gives me a headache. They're like a bunch of baby birds in a nest - lots of squacking, bird brains.

Liar Liar: Chef Robert Irvine Fired From Food Network

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 01:25:00 GMT

Robert Irvine has cooked his last soufflé as host of the popular Food Network show Dinner: Impossible. Irvine was fired after it was discovered that he embellished (that's fancy talk for 'lied') several items on his resume, most notably that he had worked on Princess Diana's wedding cake.

Irvine had made the claim in his book Mission: Cook. “It was an English fruitcake that weighed over 360 pounds...I worked on these elaborate side panels, which told the history of the royal Windsor and Spencer families - in icing!”

But that's not all. Irvine also claimed he was a knight who owned a castle in Scotland, had cooked for presidents and royalty and was friends with Prince Charles - all stories that Irvine has admitted he made up to "impress wealthy Americans."

Looks like his next show might be, Mission: Find a Job.
