More From the Sheethouse!
TRASHY TABLOID BS:
• LAST WEEK Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie confessed that she had finally ‘taken a new lover’, and now “Daily Star” believes it has uncovered who it is – none other than her “Alexander” co-star Jared Leto. He’s the hunky actor who was engaged to Cameron Diaz before she started dating Justin Timberlake. (In Hollywood, they collect ‘em and trade ‘em like sports cards.)
• Oh to be rich! “Daily Dish” reports that Hollywood’s golden couple Brad Pitt & Jennifer Aniston recently flew in British TV chef Jamie Oliver & his wife Jools for a visit to their LA home with one stipulation – Jamie had to cook dinner for them. The couples have reportedly become good friends. (Bad idea – one should never fraternize with the help.)
• “Star” says that stunning 19-year-old “Lost in Translation” actress Scarlett Johansson has become Hollywood’s hottest item of late. She’s now reportedly favored to play screen legends Elizabeth Taylor and Lana Turner in separate bio-pics about their lives. (We’ll wait to get on the bandwagon until after she’s made at least – two movies.)
• According to “News of the World”, Britney Spears still wears a gold wedding band because she’s still in love with ex-husband Jason Alexander (even after 55 long hours or marriage). Under the headline ‘Prick Me Baby One More Time’, the tab says she recently had an LA tattoo artist engrave a flowery Japanese motif, quote, “in a place where only Jason will see it”. And while the needle man was doing the work, she revealed that she & Jason will be together “no matter what”. (So young, so dumb.)
• If you believe “National Enquirer”, Siegfried has walked out on Roy, fleeing to Cuba after he cracked under the strain of caring for his paralyzed partner. The walkout came just as Roy was beginning to remember some of the events surrounding his OCTOBER on-stage mauling by a tiger. (“It’s coming back to me now, Sieggie. Did I not hear you teasing the cat?”)
• Guess who may be back together? “In Touch” magazine reports that actress Nicole Kidman & rocker Lenny Kravitz were spotted out together LAST WEEK at a club in Miami’s Little Havana, holding hands and carrying on as if everything was normal. (Poor little rich girl … so wealthy, so lonely.)
• And UK’s “Sun” tab quotes Madonna’s old pal Janice Dickinson as saying the singer had stinky armpits when they went clubbing back in the ‘80s. Quote: “It was no holiday dancing next to Madonna back then.” (“What It Smells Like For A Girl”)
“WEEKLY WORLD NEWS” HEADLINES:
• “Flamingo Fairy Hits Yards All Over US!”
• “Archaeologists Find Middle Earth in New Jersey Swamp!”
• “Princess Diana Is Alive!”
• “500-Pound Opera Singer Gores Tenor with Horned Hat!”
• “Man’s Kidney Stone Is $1 Million Diamond!”
TAKE TWO & CALL ME IN THE MORNING:
Pioneering research at the UK’s Princess of Wales Hospital shows that sterile maggots can heal wounds faster than conventional medicine, and now the government has given the treatment it’s endorsement. British doctors may now prescribe a pot of maggots for treatment of wounds, thereby avoiding lengthy hospital stays. (I don’t think it works – I was fine before I heard about it and now I feel sick! Oh you don’t eat ‘em, you just put them ON the wound?)

MALE & FEMALE COMPATIBILITY RULES:
1. She’s right.
2. He’s really thinking about nothing. Really.

BIG FAT JOE AMISH TEEN:
More than 50 members of US Congress are asking the UPN network to drop plans for a reality TV series featuring Amish teens in the big city. The idea is to set the teens up in Los Angeles and see what happens. While they grow up intensely sheltered by religious beliefs, Amish teens often date, drink, drive cars and move away from home during the period of ‘rumspringa’, a Pennsylvania Dutch term that means ‘running around’. Most, however, eventually return to the faith. CBS/UPN chairman Les Moonves claims, “To have people who don’t have TV walk down Rodeo Drive and be freaked out by what they see, I think will be interesting television.” (With tacky premises like “Man v Beast” and “The Little Groom”, are reality programs turning into the modern version of old time circus freak shows?)

ANOTHER REASON TO BUY BULK:
More and more consumers are said to be experiencing ‘packaging rage’, frustration with trying to open products due to safety caps, vacuum-sealed bags, etc. Is it a result of poor packaging or an aging population? A recent UK survey found that fully 71% of people over 50 had actually injured themselves while trying to get into a grocery product. But even younger consumers have trouble with packaging – shrink-wrap on CDs being an obvious example. (Ask listeners for examples of bad packaging [pain killers, potato chips] and innovative good packaging [individual fruit cocktails with a ring-pull lid, honey in a bottle with a twist nozzle].)
