tila's house is haunted and she got possessed

for some reason i watched the tmz tv show last night. well, who should be trotting down the road, but a newly blonde tila tequila. she actually looked well put together making me think she had an appointment or something.

so, the tmz person asked tila if she was all right because they'd heard she'd tried to kill herself. tila says, no she didn't even as she shows them some "scars" on her arm (more like healed over scabs). she says she got possessed "like the exorcist" because her house is haunted. she was pretty cheerful about the whole thing.

tila then got into an elevator and went on her merry way smiling and waving.

hilariously, harvey said he wondered what britney spears thinks when she sees stuff like this because "of all of the crazy people in hollywood, she got stuck with a conservatorship." and there are, for sure, nuttier people than britney roaming the hollywood area.

i suppose it's both a blessing and a curse for britney that she got placed under conservatorship because her father wanted to help her (save her life and her $) and this was the route he took. now, i'm not sure if she STILL needs to be under the conservatorship and i have noticed it is costing her a lot of money... so i definitely sympathize with her desire to break free of it.

jamie spears has admitted that he did things wrong when britney was growing up and he regrets not helping her more when she was younger. whatever his faults (and i am sure he has plenty, many of which would be in the past when he was a raging alcoholic), i do believe he sincerely want britney to be ALIVE. i think her whole family wants that. and it's not like her father is just kicking back somewhere, he is living with britney and making sure she is all right. he makes sure she eats real food, not just doritos and dr. pepper. i don't know if he is the absolute BEST person for that job, but it looks like he was the only person who wanted to take it.

as far as tila and her exorcist house.. something strange is going on with her because sometimes she seems to actually believe these crazy stories she tells. i don't remember her being like that before casey died. she seemed more like the average hollywood person working the stroll, trying to get her face out there and makes some money. but since casey died, tila has been having these injuries coupled with very grandiose stories about what happened. hopefully, this is some strange online roleplaying thing she's doing...

simon monjack, history of heart problems

i recently read that simon monjack had been scheduled for bypass surgery. he'd been putting it off (against doctor's advice, most likely) because he was in the middle of planning some sort of event related to the brittany murphy charity he'd wanted to start. so, by itself, perhaps simon's death is not that suspicious.

however, the fact remains the same house has seen: a woman in her mid-twenties have what appeared to be a mental breakdown, a middle-aged woman diagnosed with cancer, a woman in her early thirties die of pneumonia, and a man in his late thirties die of a possible heart attack. of course, there is evidence of at least some drug use among these people, still.. it seems a little odd considering how quickly it all happened. especially since both deaths occurred at the house despite the fact 911 was called for them.

some people have mentioned that this kind of thing is much more common among drug addicts than regular people. i have to say that i don't know that much about that... but, i don't know that i've heard about this much happening in the same location before. however, i also don't know of any particular chemical the house could be leaking that would cause this variety of symtoms. whatever the case, maybe sharon murphy should consider a vacation away from that place just to see if her condition so happens to improve.

ice-t is in the movie breakin'

i watched the movie breakin' this morning. there's some scenes at an underground street dancing club where dancers (or groups or dancers, what have you) vie for supremacy. who should be there providing musicial inspiration, but ice-t. i think this movie is from 1984.

i should've watched this movie a long time ago. first, it's somewhat entertaining. second, there has been a number of different comedies reference this movie. third, it provides a nice retrospective on some of the dance-inspired fashions on the 80s.

remember capezios? i think they still make these, actually, as i'm pretty sure they're just dance shoes. i had a pair of capezios in the 80s. i am not a dancer. my roommate in college studied dancing and she dancy clothes, so she stuck with the capezios way longer than i did. (i will say they are comfortable shoes) although, she didn't fully indulge in some of the things that were more trendy. i do think she wore her hair in a ponytail for our entire freshman year though (she wasn't my roommate yet, but we were dorm neighbors). haha anyway, no one cares about me and the wayback machine..

back to the movie... so this chick is waitressing at the type of place that seems only to exist in the movies... (imagine mel's diner california-style) and she's also taking a very exclusive dance class (cuz they tend to be economical). she is friends with this gay black guy and he is friends with some "street dancers". he takes her to watch his friends and, long story short, they make the dance group a trio rather than a duo and convince people of the legitmacy of the style.

given that type of dancing has pretty well taken over at this point (variations of it) on shows like america's best dance crew, so you think you can dance, and step it up and dance.... i suppose it makes a good point. one of the characters "turbo" does a dance with a broom that's pretty cool. the dance "crew" we're concerned with are known by real names and street names: tony/turbo, orlando/ozone, kelly/special k. INTERESTING NAME, kelly. haha

here's the weird thing about dance... it seems to be kind of a difficult way to make a living. if you study, say, ballet... this is a very competitive art and look at someone like mary carey. she studied from a very early age until her injury at 19 and now all of those years of ballet have done what for her? i suppose if she hadn't gone into porn she could have been a ballet teacher (i know they offered her such a job on the first sober house, but even in california i would think most parents would think twice before getting mary carey to teach their young children). for less formal types of dance, it seems some people do make a successful career about it.... but, i'm not sure of all the opportunities they may or may not have. there doesn't seem to be nearly enough jobs to warrant the HUGE numbers of people who go through dance classes, especially since some of the so-called dance classes are more interested in $$$ than in talent.

it seems like a lot of the people we see dancing (unless we seek out dance somehow) are in videos, so it's people like britney spears. is britney the best dancer ever? or is the whole package (looks, singing, figure, permissive parents who allowed her to be marketed as a sex symbol when she was underage, etc.) that makes her successful? (not taking away from whatever dancing talent she may have... i am just saying, it's not JUST her dancing).

speaking of dancing... bad segue... i have a showtime preview and TWILIGHT is coming on in half a hour. oh, you know i gots to see that. expect a rant. love shampoo

oh well, of course news

first, the dvd rental boxes are busily pulling brittany murphy's movie posters that show her "dead" in a bathtub. but, it will take at least ten days (why?), so everyone will get to look.

despite reports that brittany "collapsed in the shower" that is not what her husband says happened. her mother found her in the bathroom unconscious. so her husband placed her in the shower and ran water on her in an attempt to revive her.

she was just laying on the floor when they found her. running water on her caused her to throw up everything she'd eaten, so it's a good guess that nausea may be what prompted her to go into the bathroom.

according to reports, brittany last ate the night before. for the food to still be in her upper stomach... this means her body wasn't working properly the night before. it's sad this wasn't recognized.

of course, there is still the possibility that something outside of brittany's control happened to her. I hope not, but I can understand why people would say this.

one thing a lot of people have noticed is that finding pretty pictures of brittany is difficult. by "pretty" I mean a nice photo that is not from a movie and also isn't from a weirdly-themed photoshoot. so, a lot of people are using red carpet photos.

all of brittany's photoshoots seem to be very screwed up... there is the eyes wide shut one, the one in the leather mask, the one where she has a whisk in her pocket (seriously), and lots where we see her panties even though she looks like she's unhappy to be showing them. it's sad... she was so pretty... there should be hundreds of wonderful pictures of her.

in any case, brittany's funeral will be christmas eve. the hollywood haunted tour van has already been spotted driving past her house (by tmz).

meanwhile, britney spears will continue to be controlled by her father. she's been ordered to pay him and a whole gang of lawyers a lot of money. I thought britney's spending habits were part of why she had to have someone riding herd on her?

so, I suppose we have at least another year before we see the pink wig. brit brit is probably counting the days...

some people are shocked that frances cobain may have been exposed to some form of domestic violence. this is partly due to the custody arrangements, but there's also a restraining order... still, all you really have to know is this involves courtney love.

that nutcase from westboro baptist church has embarrassed christians by declaring that god "hates" lady gaga. he (the preacher) calls her "a prancing hussy."

now, how would he know what god thinks? and why would god "hate" lady gaga? that's silly.

but "prancing hussy" is probably accurate enough. and it's a bit catchy. song idea, lady gaga?
