Grazerheadmania Grips Local Charity Event
6:15AM Seth | Big ups to everyone who made it out to VH1 Classic Rock Autism Celebrity Bowl Off at Lucky Strike Lanes last night. You can browse a gallery of them here, a Malta Summit of Z-lister statesmen and royalty including Corey Feldman, Bachelorette dumpee Jesse Csincsak, and Gretchen Bonaduce and Tiffany—posing in the same photo. (Denis Leary couldn’t make it, but sent along a message saying that “knocking down pins with a big heavy ball is about as backwoods retarded as your stupid, lazy-arse kids.”) But it’s attendee Billy Morrison who most caught our eye, less for what we now know are his musical contributions to The Cult and Camp Freddy, but rather for channeling the unmistakable essence of a certain superproducer headshot worshipped ’round these parts like a Shroud of Defamer Turin. Click for your full, glorious view of what Grazerhead hath wrought. More »
Jenny McCarthy: ‘A Diet Of Cleavage And Veggies Cured My Son Of Autism!’
10:13AM Seth | While Rescue Me star and Miss Worcester second runner-up Dennis Leary may have rankled some with his book’s assessment of autism sufferers as being “dumb-arse kids,” “junior morons,” and “dumb, lazy, or both” (”Totally out of my book’s contest!” rebutted Leary), one true believer in the disorder—an outspoken activist, in fact—is Jenny McCarthy. Where she veers from her fellow crusaders is in her theory on its cause: She blames the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccination drained the life out of her young son Evan, and gave him autism. Now she’s raising even more eyebrows by claiming on the cover of the current Us Weekly that she “saved [her] son” through “a strict no wheat-and-dairy-free diet.” From usmagazine.com: More »

Matt Damon Makes A Convincing First Lady In New Awareness Ad
2:25AM Seth | Continuing with our ongoing Defamer Decides 2008 political coverage (splashy logo forthcoming just as soon as we figure out how to work out another Photoshop 30-day free trial), we now bring you this new ONE campaign TV spot featuring Hollywood’s most likable superstar and enviable nape-haver Matt Damon. The ad features the pedostache-free actor star soberly addressing the camera about their poverty-combating efforts. Fans should be warned, however, that the strange voices that soon emerge from Damon’s lips are not the result of any multiple-personality disorders, secret hormone treatments, or Satanic possessions.

Paris Hilton Brings African Orphans The Bikini Headshots They So Desperately Need
2:15AM Seth | While having yet to really deliver on her post-incarceration pledge to feed the hungry Darfricans of Rwandonia, Paris Hilton did finally manage to make it to the African subcontinent yesterday, accompanying boyfriend Benji Madden to Johannesburg as he toured with his band Good Charlotte. Once there, she refused to step foot out of her Range Rover caravan until handlers agreed to “show me some African orphans like the one Madonna bought or whatever,” at which point Hilton was whisked to the Jacaranda Children’s Home, where she signed a stack of photographs featuring the humanitarian star of The Hottie or the Nottie striking a seductive pose in a white bikini. (A gesture which only confused some of the younger children, who proceeded to gnaw on the headshot, assuming it was was some kind of flatbread ration.) More »
Drew Barrymore Feels So Much Better After Giving Those Starving African Children A Fraction Of Her ‘Music And Lyrics’ Salary
12:01PM Seth | It’s Oprah’s Big Give fever! YOU get to give! And YOU get to give! EVeryBOdy GETS to GIVE! To start the ball rolling, we offer documented Mac-enthusiast Drew Barrymore, who made a donation of $1 million of her personal fortune to an organization that feeds Kenyan children, written out on a giant, Price Is Right-style check and presented on The Oprah Winfrey Show today. It was a gesture of such heartfelt magnanimity that none other than Drew’s Charlie’s Angels co-star and bestest friend Cameron Diaz (secret, mutual nickname: Poo) called in to congratulate her on the gesture. Lucy Liu, meanwhile, waited patiently on Line 2; unfortunately, time restraints never allowed her to publicly state that she too was all for Barrymore’s decision to give $1 million to a very worthy cause.
