Not many new juicy scandals this week, so of course the entertainment media is still beating the dead horse that is “K-Stew” “cheating” on “R-Patz” (I put it in quotation marks because who really knows how authentic a Hollywood relationship is?). It’s so bad that Kristen has even been fired from the Snow White and the Huntsman sequel (if there is a sequel), but the married director she cheated with? No, he’ll be back. Even though nobody knows who the fuck he is and he did far from an expert job on the first one, but Kristen cheated on someone famous which apparently is much worse…
Speaking of trumped up scandals, Joe Biden told voters that Mitt Romney would “put them in chains” economically if they voted him in, so of course Republicans have seized on this opportunity to say that Joe Biden is the worst man in the entire universe and, sniff, a big bad bully on poor ole Romney, and a lot of other horse shit crocodile tears. I know politics is nasty, I know this because I have heard the name “Karl Rove” before, but what’s even worse is when they pretend it’s not dirty…
Which seems to be the general theme of the Romney campaign. The guy is a textbook rich bully in that he only wants the blows to go one way, and the second Obama hammers him, he cries foul. Just this week he called the Obama campaign “full of hate,” which I think is a not so subtle cue to the racists out there that think Obama is the one who hates white people and they don’t have a problem…
Speaking of people who deny responsibility for their actions, there’s extremely big banker Jamie Dimon going into a profanity laced tirade in an interview about how the big banks didn’t cause the economic crisis, aren’t responsible for their own risky trades, and he finds it unbelievable that people would blame him. In other words: asshole of the century, and don’t be too surprised to see an editorial about it…
And speaking of delusional rich bastards that nobody tells the truth to…Asshole of the Week: Kelsey Grammar. He said on the Tonight Show that he was denied an Emmy nomination for Starz’s “Boss” because he’s a Republican and the Emmy voters didn’t want to nominate a Republican. I guess forgetting that he was nominated more than anyone in the 90’s for his portrayal of Frasier Crane and even then he was a pretty outspoken Republican. What Grammar doesn’t get is that it isn’t his politics that’s changed since then, it’s his overall image. Now he’s seen as a washed-up, philandering joke that forever tarred his image by having his wife star on The Real Housewives franchise and talk about their marriage and his cheating. Not to mention Boss being on Starz, almost no one having seen it, and him not being as good as he thinks in it—–it’s a performance of bellows but little depth. The only reason the Golden Globes gave it to him is because he was one of the most famous names in the race and they’re star fuckers who don’t actually watch the nominated shows.
