4:26PM Jess McGuire | Sometimes I think Kanye West is a bit wrong in the brain. He’s a quotable chap, to be sure. His response on his blog about looking rather old and grey on the cover of Vibe Magazine was hilarious – “I’M ALL DOWN WITH BEINGS IN MY 30′S BUT DAAAAAAAAMN!!!! THIS IS SOME BENJAMIN BUTTON’S SHIT!” But other times he sounds like someone a bit touched in the head who happens to be missing that incredibly important ability to realise when it’s a good time to shut the hell up.
Here’s an example – he recently did a stint on VH1 Storytellers, and perhaps rather wisely they’ve decided to cut out a few of his more moronic comments.
A little later, West asked the crowd, “Can’t we give Chris a break? … I know I make mistakes in life.” He was referring to R&B singer Chris Brown, who was arrested on the night of the Grammys on suspicion of beating his girlfriend Rihanna.

Friday Fun Time: Watch O.J. Get A Minimum Of 15 Years
4:10AM Seth | As a special end-of-the-week treat for you, we have this video of If I Did It author O.J. Simpson being sentenced in the Armed Sports-Memorabilia-Recovering Trial of the Century. Watch, as Judge Jackie Glass—whose name is temporarily on loan from the Museum of Blaxsploitation Cinema in Las Vegas, NV—first takes an especially delicious sip from a drinking straw before delivering the news. (”So, Mr. Simpson, the court has found as follows: Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrp. Slurrrrrp. Slrrrrr. Sl. Slll. Sl. OK, where was I? Oh right, your sentence…”) A little later you might notice Simpson glance down, perhaps to read the “YOU’RE FUCKED. SORRY!” note his lawyer had just scribbled on a legal pad. [CNN] More »
Grazerhead Simpsonfied!
8:13AM Seth | None other than Museum of Hollywood Jerks inductee Brian Grazer stopped by The Simpsons again last night. We can hardly wait for his take on Everyone Poops. We smell Oscar! Sean Penn was so jazzed about getting in James Franco’s pants, he just had to text his ex-wife about it. It’s your 2008 O.J. Simpson Conviction Keepsake Mugshot. Ah, that’s better: Recession Blocker allows you to read your favourite online news sources free of all those downer-inducing economic-apocalypse buzzwords. Unfortunately, it does little to repel vampire hamsters and their similarly lethal friends. More »Disappointed O.J. Simpson Prepares Appeal, Deletes Acquittal Party Evite
7:00AM STV | So that does it. There will be no white Bronco to whisk O.J. Simpson homeward, no Cochranesque rhymes to grease a trail out the courtroom door. The Juice is cold and freshly squeezed, convicted late Friday on a dozen charges including armed robbery, assault and kidnapping with a deadly weapon. All told, Simpson faces life in prison for his role in the forcible theft of sports collectibles from a Las Vegas hotel room in Sept. 2007 (he’s likelier to get seven to 10 years when sentenced Dec. 5), and while Simpson Murder Trial alums ranging from Fred Goldman to Marcia Clark are all but popping champagne corks at word of his date with the slammer, the all-white jury that convicted him insisted over the weekend that justice is blind — if not necessarily deaf.

‘People’ Unveils Massive Cover Archive Online, All We See Are Fabio’s Pecs And John Travolta’s Quads
4:20AM Molly Friedman | It took them long enough, but People has finally seized the magical capabilities of the world wide web and uploaded each and every cover in its almost 45-year history online. And while we hand-picked a few of our favourites, from a very Dirk Diggler-looking John Travolta in 1983 to the sad black and white sight of Jennifer Aniston’s misty eyes looking up as Brad Pitt placed the wedding ring on her finger in 2000, we also featured a few after the jump that are slightly more disturbing. “Judge Judy Disrobed,” and Brooke Shields doing her whole kiddie porn thing back in the 70s, for example. Plus, a very special throwback to a time when the world wondered whether Britney was looking “too sexy too soon” … way back in 2000! More »
O.J. Simpson Free After Violating The ‘Don’t Be A Psychotic Bullying Asshole’ Stipulation Of His Bail Terms
3:27AM Seth | Celebrity wife-killer O.J. Simpson spent the last five days in jail, the result of having left threatening, profanity-laced messages for the co-defendants in his Vegas hotel room armed shit-reclamation case. Clark County Judge Jackie Glass was not amused: More »
O.J. Simpson: That Lonely Guy Who’ll Talk To Anyone On A Plane
6:30AM Defamer Hollywood | “He knows in his heart he is totally innocent of these charges and believes in the jury system,” O.J. Simpson attorney Yale Galanter said yesterday upon learning his client would stand trial for the now-infamous shit-recovery armed ambush of two sports memorabilia dealers in a third-rate Las Vegas hotel room. And while we have no doubt Galanter is at this very moment frantically scribbling down and crossing out potential catchphrases on a legal pad (”If the gun don’t load, it can’t explode!”), Simpson is clinging to the sunny side of life, even chatting up his fellow Delta passengers on a recent flight of Las Vegas to Fort Lauderdale. Reports a Page Six source: “[S]uddenly, the boisterous voice of a man aroused me from my almost-sleep. It was OJ Simpson, and he was sitting right behind me. He was beyond chatty, to the point of being manic. He would talk to anyone that listened to him.” Categories/Tags: Captive Audiences, Celeb Jurisprudence, OJ Simpson More »
Short Ends: Catching Up With Some Amply Endowed Celebrities
6:45AM Defamer Hollywood | Either Adam Sandler’s next movie is about the Geico Caveman they call Hung Like Woolly Mammoth, or we have a whole new appreciation for the actor. Either way, he has our attention. “My mum and I stopped at a church during a road trip we were making from our home in Mexico. When we went inside, I prayed for the miracle I wanted to happen. I put my hands in holy water and said: ‘Please God, give me some breasts’. And he gave me them!” Yes he did, Salma. Yes he did. What feature is Renée Zellweger most proud of? Her unflappable sanity in the face of massive movie stardom. Just check out the screws on that girl – not a loose one in the bunch! David Letterman is reaching into his deep pockets to take care of his staff of stagehands, cameramen, and blank cue card holders. Looks like O.J. Simpson will be going to trial on “on kidnapping, armed robbery and other charges,” where he could face a life sentence with no parole in a prison full of amply endowed inmates. More »
Shoot Em Up
6:15AM Defamer Hollywood | One of O.J.’s Las Vegas henchmen took a plea bargain, and made the following statement: “O.J. said ‘Hey, just bring some firearms. He said … ‘we won’t have to use ‘em, but … just to look tough, you know, so that these people know that, you know, we’re here for business.”‘ That constitutes conspiracy under Nevada law, making it look less and less likely that Simpson will walk away from this a free man – but when have we heard that one before?
