Biggest Loser: Shay Conspiracy? Shay-piracy?

Shay, the biggest Biggest Loser ever, was eliminated last night. I didn’t love Shay. Anytime something good happened to her (losing 17 lbs this week, setting a new record for women contestants) she was like, “Yeah, I did this! Go me! I am the best! I have character!” but anytime something not great happened (losing a challenge, hard gym workouts) she would blame others. “How can you do this to me? I am here for my life!?” So is everyone else Shay. Leave Rudy alone.

Anyway, arguably the best part of The Biggest Loser is the transformation at the end. And there was no transformation moment this week! As far as I can guess, that means Shay either lost a sh*t ton of weight since leaving or she gained a whole lot. Either way the show wants us to be shocked at the finale.

Whatever. Go Liz.

$100,000 Pyramid Query?

I was just watching $100,000 Pyramid (perhaps the greatest game show?) one of the six prelim categories was “Things You Find in a Motion Picture Studio.” The subsequent answers were:

A director,

Certainly!

An editor,

But of course!

And Rob Lowe

What? Was Rob Lowe that ubiquitous in the late 80s that his name and movie studio were synonymous? Literally, all the other answers were like “scripts” and “sets” and “fans”. And then Rob Lowe. The contestant guessed it right away!

Oh, and the celebrity was Stuart Pankin. Yes, THAT Stuart Pankin. He was plugging an upcoming appearance on the 80s John Ritter vehicle “Hooperman”.

Cougars! Sharon Stone! Linda Hogan! Paula Abdul! rraaarrrrrr!

According to yahoo news:

“VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) – Three cougars have been killed near the Western Canadian town Princeton, British Columbia, this month while apparently stalking human prey, police said on Tuesday.”

I’m shocked at this news. I did not even know these bitches hung out!

Maria Thayer – It’s Tamela “Tammi” Littlenut from Strangers with Candy

I was walking down the street the other day and who do I run into but Maria Thayer! You might not know her name, but you’d prob recognize her face. She’s funny and was very nice. She was listening to her Ipod and took out the earphones when I stopped her.

(Ed. note: Here’s a link to an interview she gave. I find her answers to be a little too precious for my tastes, but I’ll blame the interveiwer.)

See you in the hood Maria!

Man, that jury’s going to fall in love with you.

John Edwards Sex Tape?

Let’s play a quick game:

Which of the following people is rumored to have a sex tape?

A) Britney Spears

B) Megan Fox

C) John Edwards

(Although, to be fair, the first two probably have them too.)

Damn Gina! Johnny Depp leaves $4000!

Damn Gina!

Johnny Depp, international movie star and a bit of a creepy guy (Right? A little?) left a staggering $4000.00 tip at Chicago’s steakhouse Gibsons to, by all accounts, “delighted” waiter Mohammed A . Sekhani. No so delighted was the waiter who was smoking out back and missed his turn on rotation.

I like being snarky as much (or more so) than the next person, but there’s little to find fault with this story. Luckily I did find 2 things.

1) Mr. Depp rolled in at 11:30 pm and requested a private room for himself and some friends and the restaurant closes at midnight so that’s a little d*ck. You know the chefs and busboys etc had already cleaned the grill and were waiting to go home. I hope they got some of the 4K tip!

2) Did the waiter go running to the newspapers with this story? Did Depp’s publicist? How did we come to find this out? It’s a little suspicious.

Still, good job Johnny Depp! All eyes will be on you now as you order a coffee from Starbucks tomorrow or buy a hotdog on the street. (“Where’s my thousand?!?!”)
