We beg of you not to see this movie, no matter who divine Emmanuelle Chrirqui looks here … this Clay Aiken news is impossible to believe and has to be a PR stunt … America’s house prices are falling even faster than during the Great Depression … seem to be a lot of Spelling Bee fans here, but sorry, we’ll have nothing on that farce except a link in the media news and notes post later … we’ll have the Lost recap up next (OMG!!), and later talk movies …

“Officiating in the NBA has been quite bad this postseason.”
After the ‘06 finals, I just have a tough time taking a sentence like that seriously. NBA has been pro wrestling for the last 3 years; absolutely nothing would surprise me at this point.

Bill Murray on weed and booze???? no way….
May 30th, 2008 at 8:13 AM
The next season of Entourage can’t get here soon enough.

The Spelling Bee is a farce? What’s wrong with some homeschooled nerds getting their fifteen minutes?

A little surprised that an SNL alum’s drug of choice is weed and not booger sugar.
If you had asked me how old Murray was by looking at his picture, I would have said he’s easily into his mid-60s (he’s 57). He does look old for his age.

nada – i’d sooner watch if it were on PBS

Very classless 3 by Sasha at the end of the game, leave it to a tissue soft euro. Bill Murray is the man, and you can’t be addicted to weed, you can just like it very very much.

@TBL- how did you watch those games in Orlando? i would of loved to be able to see that
May 30th, 2008 at 8:44 AM
irish, they’re airing pre-draft stuff on NBA TV

Re: those lesbians.
One of them was/is/will be on that Tila Tequila lesbian dating show, so there’s a chance this is a PR stunt on her part.

you mean there are people who are not hooked on weed and booze? Unlucky bastards!
May 30th, 2008 at 8:55 AM

Bill Murray’s appearance on Letterman to promote Darjeerling Limited last year has reached immortal status on my DVR. Absolutely the funniest interview on Letterman I’ve ever seen.

Just when you thought Bill Murray couldn’t get any cooler… I always respect celebs who stick to the oldies-but-goodies when it comes to vices: Opium would have also been acceptable.
Also, never trust a disgruntled spouse’s diagnosis of their soon-to-be ex.

@Nick: Was. She got eliminated.
But I don’t think anyone’s watching this season, despite the fact that the girls (like this one in particular) are MUCH hotter than last year.

Just for the record:
Bill Murray on weed and booze >>>>> Bill Murray not on weed and booze.
Divorce her Bill.

Did anybody else see this month’s GQ spread of Emmanuelle Chriqui ?
Click the slideshow. Take the ride… I can’t stand Euntorage, but jesus that chick is hot.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:16 AM
Euntorage > Entourage… in that version Turtle and E are eunuchs who can’t spell.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:17 AM
@clown- did you have anything to do with that Cocaine Jesus being found in Laredo Texas? someone made up a statue of Jesus using 3 keys of cocaine
May 30th, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Turtle and E are eunuchs who can't spell.How’s that any different from the actual version?
May 30th, 2008 at 9:20 AM
@August: Thank you muchly.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:25 AM
ahhh Nick P, I lob it up there and you go Big Puma on it. Well played.
May 30th, 2008 at 9:31 AM
@WCT – There’s nothing wrong with Pacman going to skrip clubs. He’s just being rebellion.
May 30th, 2008 at 10:39 AM
Oh, for the love of…
You know, I am this close to walking away from you people.
Seriously.
