Headlines (Scroll down for complete stories):
1. Sarah Jessica Parker's Conservative Clothing Line With the number of delinquent and/or jailed female pop stars on the rise, somebody had to start urging young women to quit dressing like trollops. Well, Sarah Jessica Parker has.
Story Continues Below
The former "Sex and the City" actress is now an unofficial spokesperson for a return to modesty. Parker has launched a new clothing line, and she is taking the opportunity to encourage folks to cover up. The affordable female fashion line consists of exclusively conservative attire. Parker's new "Bitten" fashions are available at Steve & Barry's. "There's not going to be any inappropriate midriff showing, regardless of your age. I really don't care for it," Parker passionately proclaimed to the Female First Web site. "I feel like, as a culture, we have seen enough damage done by it. It's provocative in a way that I just don't feel comfortable with," she added.
It turns out that Parker's new line of apparel is a bargain in more ways than one. The cost of the clothing has been held down; this despite the fact that in order to create attire that reflects the desired class and refinement, more fabric is needed. And just think, if celebrities actually clean up their outfits and their acts, taxpayers' jail bills may go down. 2. Rosie O'Donnell on 'The View': 'I Really Didn't Fit' Now that Rosie O'Donnell has exited "The View," she has posted a video on her Web site to explain it all to her fans. O'Donnell says that she felt like "the foster kid" on the show. "I was really just like the foster kid for a year. I came and we considered adoption," she says. "But I really didn't fit into the family, and then it was time for the foster kid to go back home." O'Donnell claims that she tried to get along with Elisabeth Hasselbeck but just couldn't make friends with the co-host. "I never tried harder to be friends with someone than I did with her from the get go, but I don't think we ended up there, anywhere close," O'Donnell remarks.
Following up a juvenile act with a juvenile response, Rosie gives a nod of approval to her chief writer, Janette Barber, who was caught drawing a moustache on a photo of Hasselbeck and was then allegedly escorted out of the studio. "Janette, I love ya," O'Donnell says. "It was only one photo, people, and it was a magazine cutout." The former daytime TV talk-show host also tries to soften her previous statements but can't restrain herself from flinging insults at our servicemen and women and the U.S. as a whole. "I don't defend the mullahs. I defend the innocent civilians living in Iraq who had nothing to do with attacking the United States and who are dying in unprecedented numbers because of the occupation by the U.S. forces," says O'Donnell. "So I am against us being a bully, the U.S." O'Donnell indicates that Hasselbeck had telephoned the comedian's domestic partner, Kelli Carpenter. "She called, and Kelli and her spoke for a long time," O'Donnell says. "And I haven't spoken to her, and I probably won't, and I think it's just as well. And I wrote her an e-mail, and she wrote me back. And there you have it." Though her contract was not up until June 20, O'Donnell quit after co-host Hasselbeck stood up to her bullying. Rumor is that Bravo star Kathy Griffin and actress Whoopi Goldberg are being considered to replace O'Donnell. 3. Hollywood Fundraiser For Hipper Hillary Brett Ratner just completed a cameo appearance on HBO's hit show "Entourage."
The show features a hip, hard partying group of guys who would likely feel at home with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. However, their comfort level with Hillary Clinton may be a different story. After a successful Obama fundraising outing, which was held at trendy Hollywood nightspot Boulevard 3 and drew the likes of Jessica Biel and Taye Diggs, Hillary apparently wants a piece of the young celebrity action, too. Ratner's mansion in the hills will be the venue for a lower cost affair for Hillary, which is planned to appeal to a more casual crowd. For $250 per person, $500 for the after-party inclusion, and $1,000 for the bonus VIP reception treatment, you can hear Hillary at a house that at various times was inhabited by Ingrid Bergman, Kim Novak, and James Caan. Ratner tells Variety that the event will be "fun" and draw a crowd that may be turned off by the sort of "stuffy, kind of uptight" events fundraisers usually are. "What is exciting is I think a lot of people are going to come and hear Hillary speak that normally wouldn't go to a political fundraiser," Ratner said. "That is what is exciting about the way we are doing it. The list [of attendees] is a very interesting list." On the committee roster for Hillary's event are Christina Aguilera, Penelope Cruz, Heather Graham, Eva Longoria, Jeremy Piven, and Mike Myers. Before Hillary shows up at Ratner's fund fest, she'll seek the serious money at a more mature affair co-hosted by Dem stalwarts Steven Spielberg and Haim Saban.
Coincidentally, on the very same night just down the road a ways at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a fundraiser will be held for former New York mayor and current Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani. 4. Ben Affleck's Raunchy Rant Ben Affleck recently went into a tawdry tirade while appearing on a cable talk show. The actor, who, by the way, is seen by many in the Democratic Party as a future political candidate, was a panelist on "Real Time with Bill Maher," HBO's political answer to "The Jerry Springer Show." In response to a question about Democrats "caving in on this Iraq spending bill," Affleck said, "These f***ing people. You know what it is? Democrats, this is the f***ing problem with them." He then referred to the Dems' actions with respect to funding the war as "this f***ing giveaway." "The Democrats live in fear of basically, you know, being called cowards. Of looking soft on military. Of looking like p**sies, basically. We're afraid that somebody's going to call us a p**sy," Affleck said. "Out of a fear of being criticized, they sacrificed their core political beliefs. And they wonder why people call them f***ing weak," he added. In response to Affleck's allegations, Nancy Pelosi has challenged him to a cage match. 5. Paul Newman's Nuclear Power Plant Plug In a contrary move to many of his greenie Hollywood friends, Paul Newman has taken a public stand in favor of a nuclear power plant. Cool Hand Nuke had some words of praise for the Indian Point nuclear power facility, which is located in the New York suburbs. Evidently, the actor-entrepreneur sees the nuclear power facility as an important part of the region's energy future. Through a statement issued by an industry group, he said, "What I saw exceeded my expectations." "No Army or Navy base I've ever visited has been more armored, and I couldn't walk 30 feet inside the plant without swiping my key card to go through another security checkpoint," Newman explained. He playfully pointed out that the spent fuel rods are safely stored "in a pool that, in my younger days, I could jump across." Interestingly, Newman once debated the legendary Charlton Heston on the subject of an activist proposed nuclear freeze. At the time, the activist movement in the country sought to halt all new production of nuclear arms. It generated quite a bit of publicity and media discussion, but unfortunately the attention and discourse took place in the U.S., not the USSR, and if successful would have culminated in a unilateral freeze.
