it comes in pints?

I never, ever thought I could muster words of praise for a crap rag like US Weekly until now. Well, except for the fact that they could have just halted coverage without announcing it so that we all had to bear yet ANOTHER useless Skanky McHotel headline.

But seriously, when a magazine like that - whose bread and butter are jag-offs like Le Skank - decide they're not going to run stories about It anymore, it's probably the most drastic example of celebrity fatigue truly settling over an entire country we will ever witness in our lifetimes.

"P***s fatigue"?

Is that like "p**is envy"?

I'd shout "Huzzah!", but I gave up on almost all weekly magazines years ago, especially on US Weekly. The best I can must is a yawn.

Props to Julie for making me snicker this early in the morning!!!

I don't know whether to agree with Emily that there is some sort of cancellation effect to run a story that they're not running a story about Rodentface, or to tell Ricki that THIS is the real apocalypse--that such a rag wouldn't jump all over the story. *shudder*

Julie - I've NEVER been envious of the city of Pa**s. ;)

Me neither. Never wanted to see either P***s, as a matter of fact.
Ya gotta admit, tho, 'Fly, that the vision of a snotty Frenchman (ala Monty Python) is eerily similar to a snotty Pa**s crying, "Mommy! Make it stop!" or whatever she whined as she was led out of the courtroom.

(curtsy to Kate P) :-)

Julie,
I believe her exact words were "Mommy, you were supposed to pay off the Sheriff so this wouldn't happen!"

Or something like that.

Eh, I'm gonna be cynical here.

US is doing this to get publicity. They know this is going to be ALL OVER the news channels (that's some weird recursivity - almost Hasselhoff-recursion-grade recusivity - news channels reporting more about a gossip rag that's refusing to report about the main thing the news channels have been reporting on for weeks).

It's a PR move.

I'd be willing to bet she's back in next week.

(And I'm wondering: what happened to her alleged jailhouse conversion?)

Ricki,
I read an article a couple of days ago that basically argued that this whole thing was a PR move on the part of Paris because she's broke and living off of credit and her parents and knew she'd be able to cash in on the teary-eyed interviews post-incarceration. Talk about cynical. I don't know if it's true, but I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised.

The NY Post did one of its best covers this week concerning P*** H*****: V-D Day! P**** liberated, bimbos rejoice. It was so good that posted the picture at my place. I'm even trying to get a paper copy to laminate.

p.g., did it have a big photo of a skank tongue-kissing a sailor? That would be the only thing that would make it even funnier.

the best part of that picture with paris was that the band in the background was my grandfather's Jose Morand and his Orchestra... I haven't seent he paper yet, nor do I have a copy but if by chance someone gets a copy and feels like sending it via email to tungpo8@aol.com I would be forever greatful. Sad that m grandfather who was a world famous musician but led a quiet life accomplished so much but will be remembered most recently for being in the background of the PARIS HILTON doctored up photo...
