Levi Gets Snubbed By Modeling Industry

Josh loposer — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 16:00:00 GMT

What's Levi Johnston's career strategy -- beyond doing interviews about how he knocked up Sarah Palin's daughter? One of his vague aspirations is apparently to profit from his 15 minutes by becoming a model. So far, it looks like the modeling industry's taking a pass.

According to a CBS Early Show report, Levi's self-proclaimed career prospects go something like this: “He says that he will be an electrician like everyone else in his family, or maybe all this publicity will lead to a modeling or acting gig, which he is open to.”

While I could kinda see Levi doing some modeling work for the Bass Pro Shop catalog, it's hard to imagine him supporting himself and his baby Tripp with his acting skillz.

Of course, when Vanity Fair heard about Levi's opportunistic and quasi-ridiculous plan, they couldn't help themselves. They decided to contact some of top modeling agencies to see if they were interested in working with the infamous baby daddy.

Click Models
“We didn’t reach out to him. I guess he’s interested, but we weren’t,” said Stephanie Grill, director of Click’s men’s board.

DNA Model Management
“No one has reached out to him. He’s a good-looking guy, but not really a model type. No one would see him on the runway. He was ill-at-ease on Tyra Banks and I can’t see that changing drastically,” said Fred Howard of DNA public relations.

Ford Models
“No one in the Men’s Division has reached out. It wasn’t even brought up. I know every time I saw him during the elections, I never thought, ‘He should be a male model.’ It would be doubtful,” said Jesse Simon of the Ford men’s board, in New York.

BREAKING NEWS: Howard K. Stern Arrested in Anna Nicole Drug Case

sweatpantsmom — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:05:00 GMT

Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer and companion, reportedly turned himself in to authorities last night. Along with two other doctors, he'll be arrested and charged with allegedly conspiring to furnish drugs to Smith prior to her death in 2007. The complaint alleges that Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, 40, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, 61, and Stern, 40, provided drugs to Smith between June 5, 2004, and January 26, 2007. According to the complaint, Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, 40, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, 61, and Stern, 40, provided drugs to Smith between June 5, 2004, and January 26, 2007.

Smith died on Feb. 8, 2007 after she was found unresponsive in her hotel room at the Hard Rock casino in Hollywood, Florida. The coroner's office ruled that Smith died of "combined drug intoxication" with the sleeping medication chloral hydrate as the "major component," although no illegal drugs were found in her system. Smith's death came less than five months after the death of her son Daniel, who died while visiting his mother in the hospital after the birth of his half-sister Dannielynn.

According to US magazine, the charges are as follows:

Kapoor and Stern were charged with one count of unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 9, 2004, and Sept. 22, 2006. Eroshevich and Stern were charged with unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance between June 5, 2004, and Jan. 26, 2007.

Kapoor and Eroshevich each was charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." Each also was charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address.

Kapoor and Stern were charged with one count of "prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict." Eroshevich was charged with the same crime in a separate count. Bail was recommended at $20,000 for each.

Stern and Smith exchanged wedding vows in a commitment ceremony on Sept. 28, 2006 on a catamaran off the coast of the Bahamas. They reportedly chose to live there to avoid a paternity test of Smith's daughter, Dannielynn. Smith's former lover Larry Birkhead was later proven to be Dannielynn's father and was awarded custody.

I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but thank goodness little Dannielynn lives with Birkhead - who knew he'd be the better father in this whole twisted scenario? I always thought Stern was somehow responsible for Anna Nicole's death, and have a feeling he had something to do with the death of Smith's son, Daniel, whose death was attributed to an overdose of methadone and escitalopram. It was never determined how he came into possession of the drugs.

High-Five Inauguration - The Video

Whit Honea — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:06:00 GMT

Apparently the comic geniuses at Funny or Die have been featuring a series of "High-Five" videos that remind me a little too much of a sketch from Seattle's improv group (whose troupe name I forget) called "High-Fiving White Guys."

It doesn't make it any less funny. In this latest video, "High-Five Inauguration" the two high-fivers run around Washington and do their thing amid a sea of humanity overflowing with celebrities, politicians, pundits and the like.

I'm trying really hard to tie this in with celebrity parenting so bear with me. The video features FameCrawler favorite Jack Black and famous ~~grand~~father Larry King. I'm guessing a lot of the people are parents, which leads to the question: Where are the children? Don't kids need high-fives? Aren't they the future? Hopefully these celebrities will be able to take what they've learned in this video and pass it on to their offspring, and maybe, just maybe, the world will be a better place.

Naaaailed it!

Chris Rock: Sarah Palin's A Hockey-Mom Version Of Kim Kardashian

HerBadMother — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 22:21:00 GMT

Chris Rock was on Larry King recently, and managed to summarize almost perfectly the problem with Sarah Palin, without referring to any of her unfortunate opinions on abortion or gay marriage or her decision to put her pregnant daughter Bristol on the hustings: he compared her to Kim Kardashian.

Watching Sarah Palin 'perform' - in interviews and photo-opps - is discomfiting, he suggested, because you really just expect her to do better. "It's like watching Kim Kardashian on Dancing With The Stars. All that ass and she can't shake it."

(The Kardashian comment comes at the very end of the clip)

"All that ass she can't shake it." I want that on a t-shirt.

Lionel Richie: I Survived Nicole

trix — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 17:03:00 GMT

As it turns out the stars are just like us, only they have more money.

Lionel Richie recently talked about the trials of raising a tabloid celebrity and he had this to say, "Forget about surviving 40 years in the music business, just surviving 27 years of Nicole Richie has been a struggle-and-a-half, I want to tell you. I stand here as a survivor, I want you to know, for all the parents out there."

They all seem to be doing relatively well now, there have been no arrests, no mug shots and no jail time in almost a year.

Did you know that Lionel Richie is hugely popular in the Arab world? He doesn't know why either.

GQ Presents the Most Whipped Husbands in the WORLD!

Whit Honea — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:34:00 GMT

GQ has compiled a list of men that have been subjected to the proverbial "p" whipping by their bossy and/or powerful women. Many of them are fathers as well. I think there is a big difference between being a dotting dad and wuss, I hope GQ took that into consideration.

That said, here's the list:

25. Mark Consuelos, wife Kelly Ripa
24. Rudolph Giuliani, wife Judy
23. Larry King, wife Shawn Southwick
22. Michael Douglas, wife Catherine Zeta-Jones
21. Seal, wife Heidi Klum
20. Kevin Smith (the Clerks director), wife Jennifer Schwalbach
19. Sergay Brin (34-year-old Google wunderkind), wife Anne Wojcicki
18. Ben Stiller, wife Christine Taylor
17. Gerald Levin (the former CEO of Time Warner), wife Laurie Perlman
16. Jack Welch (the former General Electric chair-man and CEO), wife Suzy Wetlaufer
15. Tim Burton, wife Helena Bonham Carter
14. Keith Urban, wife Nicole Kidman
13. Elton John, husband David Furnish
12. John Edwards, former presidential candidate, wife Elizabeth
11. Woody Allen, wife Soon-Yi Previn
10. Ashton Kutcher, wife Demi Moore -he's top 5 for sure
9. Howard Stern, wife Beth Ostrosky
8. Rupert Murdoch (Aussie billionaire), wife Wendi Deng
7. Kurt Warner (quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals), wife Brenda
6. Marc Anthony, wife Jennifer Lopez -shouldn't he be higher?
5. Josh Kelly, wife Katherine Heigl
4. Bill Gates, wife Melinda
3. Eminem, wife Kimberly
2. Doug Christie, wife Jackie
1. Guy Ritchie, wife Madonna

There is a slideshow at GQ that explains why each man made the list. It's pretty funny, at least it seems like it is, my wife wouldn't let me read it.

Jon Stewart on Larry King

Whit Honea — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:35:00 GMT

I just spend time I couldn't afford watching the entire video(s) of Larry King interviewing Jon Stewart. It's fantastic. If you like the first one you should just follow the video response links at YouTube for the continuation of the interview.

I think Michelle stays so fit by sending me a dozen emails per day. I know it keeps me in shape.

Here's a clip of her talking babies and blogs on Larry King. Sadly, no chicken or waffles in this clip.

David Beckham is Spicy, Let's Call Him "Ab Spice"

Whit Honea — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 19:20:00 GMT

Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, went on Larry King the other night and said all the things that she's said before about the "band" and the fact that she and David have no desire to become Scientologists, yada, yada, yada.

The main thing that came out of the interview was that she referred to her husband as a "Spice Boy." WTF? How's that feel, Becks?

Man, if my wife went on national television and called me something emasculating like that I would be all, "Whoa! My freakin' wife is on national television! Sweet!" and then I'd be yelling at the kids to find the remote so I can hit record on the TiVo, but when she got home I would be like, "Hey, why you gotta call me a pussy on TV?"

So anyway, Ab Spice? You like it?

Posh: Denial Ain't Just A River In Egypt

HerBadMother — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 23:02:00 GMT

Victoria Beckham told Larry King on Monday night that she is not pregnant. Also, she told him that hubby David is "very loyal," which must be a very loosely interpreted term in the Beckham household, seeing as he's admitted to at least one extra-marital affair (with former nanny Rebecca Loos). So, is dear Posh just big on denial, or is she really not pregnant, and really convinced of her husband's eternal fidelity, and really, you know, a totally authentic, totally real chick with actual singing talent and real boobs?

I like Victoria Beckham, I really do, deep down in that perverse core of me that likes hard, ambitious girls in spiky heels, but I don't believe a word that comes out of her mouth. So, not pregnant? Maybe not. But that new bleach-free hair-do and the trips to baby stores and the mid-concert proclamations of Spice mates all argue otherwise. (And? When Perez insists that a rumor is not true - as he did with J-Lo's preggo rumors, and is doing now with the Posh rumors - I assume the opposite to be true.) So, for the moment - Larry King and Perez Hilton, Posh-whores both, notwithstanding - I'm sticking with the story that there's a fourth Beckham on the way. And that those boobs are fake.

When Bees Attack! Jerry Seinfeld Gets All Up In Larry King's Hive

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 10:05:00 GMT

Poor Jerry Seinfeld. First his wife is accused of being a plagiarizing carrot-masher, and now Larry King mistakenly asks whether Seinfeld left his hit show or was cancelled. As you'll see, Jerry is apparently a little, uh, stung by this.

Perhaps a bit testy these days because of CookbookGate and also the tepid critical reaction to his Bee Movie, Seinfeld overreacts just a tiiny bit (ya think?) before King desperately cuts to a commercial.

Watch the video of Jerry going all Soup Nazi on Larry's ass!

Donald Trump Slams George Clooney and Angelina Jolie

Karen — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 17:07:00 GMT

Jolie and Clooney may hate each other, but now they are lumped into the "Not Hot" category by the most gorgeous man on earth, Donald Trump. I love this guy. I mean, not only is he the hottest guy I've ever seen, he has the uncanny ability to say whatever he wants in public and he's still a beautiful person, inside and out. Trump told Larry King:

"One of the perceptions I had of George Clooney was he was this big, strong guy. And he was very little when I met him."

He adds of Jolie, "Angelina Jolie is sort of amazing because everyone thinks she's like this great beauty. And I'm not saying she's an unattractive woman, but she's not beauty, by any stretch of the imagination.

"I really understand beauty. And I will tell you, she's not -- I do own Miss Universe. I do own Miss USA. I mean I own a lot of different things. I do understand beauty, and she's not."

He is so right. I mean, look at him. He really knows beauty, as he says. I just want to run my fingers through his hair and kiss him long and hard on the mouth. I want to suck his plump earlobes and whisper hot dirty thoughts into his ear. He's so hot that mere thoughts of him send me into overdrive.

Gordon Ramsay Continues To Convince Me He's an Asshole

Whit Honea — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 15:48:00 GMT

Chef Gordon Ramsay admits that he's not a hands-on dad. That's unfortunate, but understandable. The guy works hard, what with the cooking and the TV and the loud, loud cursing. He doesn't have the luxury of his other famous friends like the Beckhams that just sit on a bench and plan tours, respectively, for a living. He's getting his hands dirty. Nothing wrong with that.

The part that annoys me is that instead of doing what any normal person would do and at least pretend that they wished they could spend more time with their children, he wears his absentee parent label like some sort of badge. Shouldn't time away from your kids be a negative side-effect and not something to be proud of?

He recently told Larry King that "The time I have with the family is little. But it's quality. I've never been one to be home, I've never been a hands-on dad. I'm not ashamed to admit it, but you can't run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4.30 and bath and change nappies."

He goes on to say that he has often neglected his children Megan, twins Jack and Holly, and Matilda, and that he's not ashamed of it. I know, I already mentioned he isn't ashamed, but I wanted to make sure everyone caught that. Who goes on TV and says they're glad they neglect their children? Even Britney pretends to care about the kids.

Thinking Nicole Richie Will Be a Great Mom is Contagious, Just Ask Paris and Cisco

Whit Honea — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 18:03:00 GMT

If I were Nicole Richie I don't think I would want my friends vouching for me. First Cisco Adler drops some bombs on us, and now Paris Hilton is telling People magazine that Nicole is "...really happy. I just got off the phone with her. She's so excited. I know she's going to be the best mom ever."

That's like putting Lindsay Lohan down as a reference on an application.

The funny thing about Paris telling People her opinions, which, granted, are much more apropos than Adler's, seeing as how the two girls are actually longtime friends, is that it follows Adler doing the same thing to the same magazine just days prior.

I wonder if they hatched their stab at attention while doing this? I'm sure it's not what it looks like, Paris doesn't do stuff like that, but that Adler, man, the dude's got balls.
