Old Friends Are The Best Friends...

Hey, All! Hope everyone is doing well. It was Lissy's birthday yesterday.

Happy Birthday to my Bestie....Looking great for 29. Again. LOL!My girl Toni Marie's birthday was also yesterday...Happy birthday, Girlie!Today is The Material Girl's birthday...

Happy birthday, Madonna! Loves her!Next up, on a sad note...I attended a funeral yesterday. My ex-boyfriend W's father passed away. So sad...I remember him as such a nice man.

Anyway, since I am good friends with W & his brother M, I went. I met my girl Susan at a Starbucks before the service, and I really had to pee, so I grabbed the first spot I saw...well, ok, not the FIRST spot, because the first spot was parallel parking, and I can't parallel park, but you get the idea. So I am sitting with her, drinking coffee and for some reason, I reached up and was playing with the neckline of my dress. Thank G*d I did, because I felt the label...my dress was on BACKWARDS! I had already been to the hairdresser and driven for two hours to get to Delray. With my dress on backwards.

As Alissa would say..."Are you kidding me?" I was so mortified that I didn't even say anything to Susan...I just took my happy self to the restroom and changed my dress. Then, as we walk towards my car, Susan turns to me with a perplexed look and says "You're handicapped?" I'm like "No...why?" She points to my car, which is clearly parked in a handicapped spot. I'm like WTF, did they put that sign up while I was in the Starbucks, because it was so not there when I parked. Then I checked for a ticket...Huge sigh of relief...NO TICKET! Hooray for me. Then we make our way to the church, where we have to park in dirt. In case you were wondering...stiletto heels and dirt don't mix well. At all. I almost ate sh*t walking across the parking lot. Yikes! The church was packed. With NO air circulation. It made me sweat just looking at the men in their suits & ties.

Poor guys. It was a very nice service. VERY long, but very nice. We said hello to W as we left the church {{Big hugs}}...Susan: "I don't remember him being so good looking."Me: "I do."Susan: "He's hot."Me: "Uh-huh."The cutest thing was when his little brother saw me and made a beeline for me and gave me a big hug. I can't even believe that A.) he remembered me & 2.) he recognized me. Even though W said "You look the same. Except your lips are bigger."Me: "You're very kind to say that, but unfortunately, everything is bigger."W: "I'm not exactly slim anymore myself."(He always was smooth...sigh.)

Susan & I did not go to the cemetary, we elected to go grab some alcoholic beverages instead...we figured that's for family. So, W asked us to meet him back at the house after the burial, which we did. I'm going to make the understatement of the universe right now and say that we got a lukewarm reception from the girls that were there. As in, if looks could kill, you'd be attending my funeral right now. Uncomfortable, Party of two...your table is ready. Whatevs.

Needless to say, we didn't stay for very long. But, it was great to see W...he looks the same. And M...he is my boy...I that kid. Always have, always will. Then I had to drive home while it was raining sideways. Good times, my friends, good times. But I made it home in one piece. Have a great week, Peeps!

So You Think You Had A Bad Day?!?

Let me tell you about my day yesterday.

I took my little Tao to the groomer...he was overdue. On the way there, he took a nice big s**t. In my Mercedes. On the passenger seat. Deeeeeee-scusting! Then, the groomer called me a few hours later and said "Your dog is being terrible. He won't let us give him a bath. He was screaming and biting when we tried to put him in the tub." Um, okay... so I went to pick him up and brought him back to my office. We were all teasing him, telling him he was such a bad boy, blah, blah, blah. All of a sudden, I noticed that his left eye was filled with blood. As in, the entire white of his eye was red. And it was swollen. It looked like his eye was going to pop out. So gross. I ran him over to his vet, and she sent us up to a doggie opthamologist. He said that Tao essentially bruised his eye, so there shouldn't be any lasting damage.

If you are a loyal reader, you know that Tao is not having it when he's at the doctor's office, so they had to sedate him (with an I.V.) and stitch his eye in the corner so that he would be able to close it. They had to shave half of his face, and he pretty much has a black eye. Oh, and a purple ace bandage around his foot where the I.V. was. And an E-collar. And, he's shaved. Poor little Peanut! Suffice it to say we won't be calling him the prettier one for a little while...Tai Tai is probably loving it! When I went to pay the $620.00 bill, I asked the receptionist "So, what happens if people don't have the money to pay?" (She looks me up and down, pausing on my Gucci purse and sunglasses, and sighs as if to say "WTF do you care?") "Their dogs go blind." Wow. Wow! Holy coldness, Batman! No payment plan? Dayum!
Ok, let's move onto Hollyweird, shall we?
So...I've been reading tons of stuff on the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna debacle. Everyone is trying to figure out why he beat her up, and rumors are running like wildfire across the net. One rumor has him flipping out on her because she gave him herpes. Where did she get herpes? Well, according to the rumormill, from Jay Z. Um, wouldn't Beyonce have a problem with that?!? Also, lots of reports that she's way needy and clingy. Not a reason to beat her a**, though! There's also a rumor that he broke her jaw. Yikes...hope that one's not true!
From starmagazine.com: Hours before his alleged violent outburst, Chris Brown seemed detached from his girlfriend Rihanna at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy bash on Feb. 7 in Beverly Hills. And during the party Chris turned his attention to sexy British songbird Leona Lewis, says an insider. “At one point, Rihanna caught Chris flirting with Leona,” says a source. “They were carrying on and laughing, and Rihanna saw Chris with his hand on the small of Leona’s back. It may have been innocent, but that set Rihanna off.”
Bossip.com just received the real story of Chris Brown and Rihanna’s fight from a highly placed source in the Chris Brown legal camp:
"They were in the car leaving the Clive Davis party. While Chris was driving, he got a phone call from a young lady. Our source tells us that Rihanna knew that Chris had been messing around with this particular girl and she has, as of late, been the reason for many of their heated arguments. Rihanna got a glimpse of the phone, saw the name and number and immediately recognized who it was. She went ballistic and began to “beat the sh*t” out of Chris (while driving). She was so uncontrollable, that Chris began to fight back in self defense, which ensued the fight. Rihanna’s rage stemmed from Chris’ questionable fidelity in the last few months."
Take this with a grain of salt (rimming a Margarita glass...LOL) because it is from his people.
Update on Usher's wife: Reports say she was rushed into intensive care on Friday, after a medical emergency during a liposuction operation in Brazil. She supposedly suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest as she was being anesthetized for the cosmetic surgery. Where there not enough plastic surgeons to choose from in L.A.? Seriously? Stooo-pid!
If you've been hearing reports that DJ Khaled was involved in a high speed chase with the LAPD, it's not true...he's in Miami.
Jessica Simpson should be sending thank you notes to Chris Brown and RiRi because no one gives a s**t about her getting fat anymore! Oh, and Michael Phelps' pot smoking...so yesterday! From usmagazine.com: Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight will soon take off their scrubs for good, their Grey's Anatomy costar James Pickens Jr. (a.k.a. Grey's Dr. Richard Webber) confirms. They are smart, because that show is actively jumping the shark.
We haven't even talked about the freak show that is the mother of the octuplets. Doesn't she look like she's had a LOT of plastic surgery? What's up with her face? Ewwww! Did we the taxpayers pay for that the same way we are going to have to support her and her 14 kids?? Ridiculous! And...why the f**k does Congress care if A Rod took steroids? Don't they have bigger fish to fry, like oh, I don't know...our collapsing economy or the war that we are in?!? And, last but not least, I want to wish a very to my friend Christie...her bday is tomorrow...29 again! Ok, I'm going to go try to sleep because I was up all night with my little guy.

"Tony and I both laughed at that," Jessica said during Wednesday's interview. "We got a chuckle out of it... I know it's not [true] — I looked at his call log." BTW, total CU Next Tuesday move by Jess wearing the tee above-Carrie's a vegetarian! Not FUN-EEEEE!

Liar, liar...Pants on fire!! John Edwards is a douchebag. Why do these f***ers always lie when they KNOW that they are busted? Cheat on your wife, that's her problem. Lie to our country...that's OUR problem. DUM-DUM!
From usmagazine.com: Former Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards has admitted to a long-rumored extramarital affair with filmmaker Rielle Hunter, 44, but denies that he is the father of her baby daughter.
Edwards, 55, made the admission during an interview with ABC's Nightline that aired Friday night. Watch the video above.
The former North Carolina senator – who has been married to wife Elizabeth since 1977 – says he was not in love with Hunter.
Edwards also issued a statement (below) about the affair on Friday afternoon.
Edwards says in the interview that he has not taken a paternity test to prove he is not the father of Hunter's daughter because he claims the affair ended before she was conceived.
A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child.
Edwards has three children with Elizabeth, who has an incurable form of cancer.
Edwards tells ABC News that the affair began in 2006, when Elizabeth's cancer was in remission and after Hunter was hired to produce films for his presidential campaign. They had met at a NYC bar.
The National Enquirer first reported the affair last fall. Edwards steadfastly denied the accusation at the time.
The Enquirer spotted Edwards visiting Hunter and the baby at the Beverly Hills Hilton last month.
Edwards confirmed the meeting to Nightline and said his wife did not know about it.
He's a hottie, huh? All you Phelps Phans will be happy to know that The U.S. swimmer smashed his own world record, comfortably winning the 400 metres individual medley gold medal in four minutes 03.84 seconds.
This is the first of a potential record-breaking eight gold medals at the Olympics for Phelps. It was Phelps's seventh career Olympic gold medal and ninth overall as he chases down Mark Spitz's 36-year-old record of seven golds at one Games.
From people.com: Soul music pioneer Isaac Hayes – whose 1971 "Theme from Shaft" won the Oscar and Grammys & who was a voice on "South Park"– died Sunday in Memphis, where he lived. He was 65. A releative discovered an unresponsive Hayes near an exercise machine in their home at midday, and Hayes was pronounced dead at 2:10 p.m. when he arrived at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office tells PEOPLE.
Not to make light of the situation, but you see?!? Proof that exercise can indeed kill you! I knew it.
Bernie Mack passed away from complications of pneumonia on Saturday. He was only 50 years old. How come people still die from pneumonia anyway? So sad! They say bad things come in 3s-who's next? Or can we consider Morgan Freeman's accident the 3rd thing? It's weird...3 famous black men, right?

Am I the only one who thinks she looks FREAKISHLY like Elvis?!? She's 40 & pregnant with twins. I think she looks damn good in this pic...taken for Marie Claire magazine in response to the tabloids talking about how fat she was. Good for her!
