¡viva la graham!

heidi fleiss announced yesterday that she plans to open a male brothel in nevada. the former hollywood madam is currently looking for male prostitutes for her new venture, dubbed ‘heidi’s stud farm.’

an hour with the man-meat of your choice will cost about $250 an hour, plus tip (which fleiss says is much less than her lady whores used to make back in the good ol’ days). the brothel claims to cater to women, though it remains to be seen whether or not they will turn away male clients.

fleiss boasted, “i am going to have the sexiest men on earth.” if you think you’ve got what it takes (the primary requirements include a chiseled body and a lack of self-respect), this could be an amazing opportunity. applicants beware! there’s no telling what you’ll have to do for the boss to land this job.

after quickly glancing at the cover of lucky magazine the other day, i thought to myself, “wow, katey sagal looks great!” after a closer look i realized it wasn’t her… it was actually anne hathaway.

after further consideration, i decided there was a little something extra in anne’s new look. here i show you my own hypothesis of its’ origins. peg bundy plus a brunette ashlee simpson. do you see it?

isn’t it just so sweet when b-list celebrities find love? (or lust at first sight. or, most likely, the possibility of career advancement)…

i know what you might be thinking. who the fuck are these two!? i wish i could say i didn’t know. on the left we have one of the guys from that hideous mtv show laguna beach. you’ll never guess his name… talan! hmmm, i wonder if it’s a stage name. the lucky lady on the right is none other than kimberly stewart, spawn of 60s sex-god (according to my mom, that is) rod stewart.

earlier this week, the freshly-minted couple announced their wedding plans - after two whole weeks of dating. best of luck!

some good news for my favorite pint-sized pop princess. kylie minogue, who was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, has been deemed strong enough to travel home to her native australia for the holidays (she has been receiving treatment in france). her sister, dannii, confirmed the rumors, saying kylie is “getting stronger ever day. we’re all looking forward to christmas.”

i’m very pleased to hear this, as we haven’t heard much about kylie as of late. it’s nice to see that the horrible gossip about her being very ill is far from the truth.

what a lovely bit of christmas cheer! with this and the recent holiday lights ceremonies around the globe (including london), i’m suddenly very excited about the imminence of my favorite time of year.

i saw a repeat of mind of mencia last night, one from a few months ago - but still very funny. in it, they interviewed people on the street about the appropriate usage of the “n” word. it was just the sort of politically incorrect comedy that has been sparse since chappelle show went on an indefinite hiatus.

the best bit is when carlos mencia brings out a chart representing a sliding scale of blackness. it’s hard to see each face, as it is shown fleetingly, but closer to the black side we have don cheadle. as we get closer to white, there’s denzel washington, then mike tyson, michael jordan and will smith. whiter still we see halle berry followed by vin diesel, which brings us to the whitest of the black… michael jackson, of course!

you can watch the video of the sketch here. you’ll be surprised by some of the random reactions mencia receives from his interviewees. one african-american woman would even use the “n” word (in the positive sense) to describe bryant gumbel… seriously!

madonna is undoubtedly celebrating tonight. her new single, “hung up,” went straight in at number one in britain today. in the u.s., the track (the lead single from her forthcoming album confessions on a dance floor) tops the billboard club airplay chart (surprise!), but has barely cracked the top 20 on the pop chart.

with her latest u.k. success, it seems madonna may be an english rose after all. even with that silly accent!

why are celebrities so delusional? mariah thinks she can act, pamela thinks she can sing, and now nicole richie thinks she can be an author. what is the world coming to?

her new novel, the truth about diamonds, is surely already a laughing stock, as the excerpt is so ridiculous is makes jackie collins look like kurt vonnegut. my favorite part? the novel claims to be about the daughter of a rock star (”rock royalty” is the way she put it, i believe), which makes me think- does nicole think her dad, lionel, falls into that category? talk about delusional.

(via best week ever)

no shit! she’s the featured “vocalist” on “when you’re gone,” a re-worked bryan adams song (yes, the man who brought you “summer of ‘69″ and “run to you”). previously, former sporty spice girl melanie c sang the female part. that version was a massive success in europe in 1998 but failed to take off in the u.s.

so can pam sing? it’s not great, unsurprisingly (you can hear a stream of the song at adams’ site)… but anyone can sound okay with a little creative engineering in the studio! right, britney? i guess we’ll see whether or not the track catches on this time around… in the meantime, where’s the video?

some guy with a webcam called tim decided to film himself singing along to madonna’s “hung up.” the results fail to live up to madge’s high standards, but tim is still a charmer.

some things have to be seen to be believed. this is one of those things. and it might just be the funniest thing i have ever seen.

today cnn’s ubiquitous anderson cooper co-hosted live!, stepping in for an absent regis, and there was something different going on between him and kelly. she wasn’t flirting like she usually does, though she was still having plenty of fun. it was almost like she was preoccupied… she must have been trying to think of a hot gay friend to set up with mr. cooper.

i’ve always had a soft spot for her, and i’m not really sure why. maybe i was just sensing that she’d be totally down with going to a drag show.
