Hello Ladies!

I thought it would be fun to remark on some of the latest headlines – they are so entertaining. You can’t make this stuff up!

REMARKABLE WOMEN EAT WEENIES

eat that weenie!!

 

What’s the 4th of July without a hot dog? I myself made a chicken apple sausage but it’s close enough to a hot dog if you ask me. And I did the traditional bun and hot dog and catsup. It was delicious! Meanwhile, over in New York…

The annual Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog eating competition is something I would love to go to some year. I think it would be hilarious. Winning again this year for the 5th time in a row is Joey Chestnut (sounds like a mob name to me). And they added a women’s division this year, with a special pink champion’s belt courtesy of Pepto-Bismol (how apropos). Joey consumed 62 Hot Dogs and Buns in 10 minutes and Sonya Thomas (aka The Black Widow) took the title in the Woman’s Division with 40 hot dogs and buns. She’s a scrawny little thing. Why didn’t I get her metabolism?!

It is befitting to have the competition at Coney Island. The first dog was sold there around 1870 by German butcher Charles Feltman. His competitive, Polish-born employee, Nathan Handwerker, opened his own Coney Island business, Nathan’s Famous in 1916. It is still there. God Bless America!

According to local lore, immigrant men started the competition after arguing about who was most American, settling their dispute by trying to out-eat each other. Irishman Jim Mullen won with 13 dogs

ATTENTION ALL SINGLE LADIES -

OH MY!

 

GREEN LANTERN STAR RYAN REYNOLDS IS OFFICIALLY ON THE MARKET AGAIN. HIS DIVORCE IS FINAL. Too bad I’m married. Sigh. Yum.  – Yes, I am kidding. He is HOT but he’s an actor and there are many of them. I think my hubby is the hottest REAL guy around. At dinner the other night, we were fawning all over Ryan Reynolds, talking about how cute he is, etc. My husband chimed in ”Yeah, well that’s his job to be hot. I could be that hot too if that was my job.” Of course, my husband was being sarcastic but he has a point. Actors spend thousands of dollars and hours to look and keep looking hot. They have a posse of professionals to help them – trainer, private chef, paparazzi, etc. Still, he’s pretty hot. Remember him in The Proposal? When he came out with just a skimpy towel from the shower?….. Okay, I’ll stop now.

WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS–

My friend was at the uber-chic hotspot of the moment Jeff Beacher’s Madhouse at The Roosevelt Hotel the other night. She was there on a Wednesday, the ONLY night to go when all the celebs go. Leonardo was there. Tobey Maguire was there. So were a bunch of other celebs. And my friend said Paris Hilton was there looking beyond tragic. She looked like she was in her 40s and wearing some long flowy dress with a tube top bodice and some sparkly headband around her head. I am not sure why this trend is hot now, or was EVER hot but I find it pretty annoying. It was pretty lame back in the Olivia Newton-John “Let’s Get Physical” days (I admit I fell into this trend trap and no, I will not share photos), but to reincarnate this head-tastrophy, well, it’s unforgiveable I say. Anyhoo, Paris looked scary and I feel bad for the girl because she just doesn’t know any better and well, I worked with her once and she is actually very nice and I could not believe how with it she was. This is no dumb girl.

I love Olivia! The headband not so much

 

THE APPLE DOESN’T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE –

The daughter of “Hustler” honcho Larry Flynt, who works as the VP of his company, is being sued for sexual harassment by a guy who claims she manhandled him. – Sorry but I find this pretty funny. No, sexual harassment is not funny and don’t go all ape shit on me. I just find the whole statement ironic and well, people who deal with smut magazines are just that – smutty. So to think you’re not gonna get some seedy behavior while working for a smut magazine….well, I mean Come On!

THE BIEBS BOMBS

Note to magazine editors: Think twice before booking Justin Bieber. Vanity Fair‘s February Bieber cover is on track to become the worst-selling issue for the Condé Nast monthly in 12 years and one of the top three worst sellers for the magazine since Graydon Carter took over as editor-in-chief in 1992. (Poor Biebs. It is so tough being so cool. And worrying about your hair so much. And trying to get through puberty without people noticing. I thought he was kinda cool for 5 seconds but he truly lost me when he came out with his perfume for women – yikes!).

SOIL IT ALL SARAH

Once a trainwreck, always a trainwreck!

Publishers have rejected a children’s book by Sarah Ferguson about a tree that survived the 9/11 attacks because of fears Americans will find it offensive. (ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK GOD SOMEONE HAS SOME SENSE OF DECORUM. I AM SO DISGUSTED AND OVER SARAH FERGUSON.CAN WE START A BOYCOTT PLEASE??)
