Curse of the Squares
Bunny sent us this Separated at Birth observation… Joan Rivers and Madame! (the drag queen puppet, from Waylon and Madame that was on Hollywood Squares and had a short lived sitcom in the 70-80′s, and appears once in a while as a character on The Simpsons.) Bunny notes that both Joan and Madame were regulars on the Squares, and suggests “Maybe there is something evil about the center square!”…

Joan is also a member of the over pinched nose club.

Summer is here!
Memorial Day weekend sounds the bell for summer fun and WE’RE READY! hope you have a killer weekend and some fun out there. we leave you with one of Tien’s fabulous shots of Shea Stadium (a lifetime summer mecca for us.) Tien knows the Mets and Shea like nobody’s business…

bright eyes
cuz we love Coner and we love The Majority Report - here’s a cute photo of Conor Oberst, “Bright Eyes”, talking to Janeane Garofalo about his single “When the President Talks to God” on the show this week…

Peepers
our best friend’s dog, the ultra fashionable Peepers Saint Marie. Buddy’s not much into big dogs, but by default, she is his best friend. Peepers also goes by Mimi, Murray, Tommy Raisins, and Jimmy (this is why Buddy is sometimes known as Tiny Tommy and Little Jimmy – here’s a photo of them side by side.)

craptastic ride

Howard Stern’s limo is being sold on Ebay by his chauffer “Ronnie the Limo Driver” with a $125,000 reserve. the Ebay ad says… “The fully loaded 2004 Cadillac Escalade stretch limousine has been put up for auction because it’s time for Howard to move on to another vehicle.”

we sensed this wasn’t the whole story so we searched Howard Stern’s site and found the real dirt on why the limo is being sold… excerps from arguments about the limo from the site…

Howard said he really doesn’t like the limo Ronnie got him… he should have never trusted Ronnie’s taste… Howard hates how big the car is and how high off the ground it is… the seat in the back he uses is so uncomfortable. He said it’s small and it’s like a hard bench seat which he keeps sliding off. He was trying to read the paper and eventually just sat on the floor of the car because it was more comfortable. He said the worst part about the car is getting in and getting out of it. Howard said he has to sit on his ass and scoot his way out, which is really annoying.

what a sweet ride! congratulations Ronnie, you’re the Captain Craptastic of limo’s!

neckface begins!
love Spinach Dip and check his site often, but it took our friend Tale of Two Cities to point us to SD’s fat scoop on this awesome new tag by Neckface. it’s so cool we had to jump on TOTC’s wagon and join in and “share this instant classic Neckface tag just off the Williamsburg Bridge”…

Courtney and the Bean
the best part of the Idol finale was seeing Courtney and Francis Bean attending. during Courtney’s wild days it seemed all Francis wanted was to get her mommy back. it’s nice to see them together and happy.

Update: Josef sent us this from MTV…

“I’m rooting for Bo. I like his style, I like his vibe and I like that he rocks,” Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, said outside the Kodak Theatre with her mother at her side. “I’ve never watched it,” Love said. “The word ‘mainstream’ comes to mind.”

and our boy Chucky sent us this… “dude, how much does Bean look like Kurt!?” so we whipped this image up. thanks for Chucky!
