Why do celebrities get so mad when photographers harass them? You’d think they would just stop for 30 seconds and let them take pictures. My guess is that paparazzi may make more money by taking unflattering photos of celebrities and so they say things that make them react in negative ways, because as we all know, ugly sells.
This week actor Hugh Grant (who’s no stranger to scandals) got arrested for attacking a photographer when he kicked and threw his tupperware at him. If someone makes you mad enough at them that you have to throw your lunch box at them, you know they might have gone too far. Just WHAT happened here anyways to make Hugh Grant spaz out in such a flamboyant manner?
Our in-house nightclub performer Sal-E joins us to talk about all the celebrity missteps, happenings and phenomena that’s taking place this week. Okay, so I know that Rosie leaving the view isn’t such big news, but how about physicist Stephen Hawking riding the “vomit comet” a plane that flies in a roller coaster path in order to simulate the effects of zero gravity. Or how about the whole fiasco with Richard Gere and India’s intolerant government? It’s not what you think.
Sal-E is just DROOLING for a pair of these upside down shoes.

April 27, 2007 at 01:30oy, Sal-E and his crazy costumes!
Those shoes are so crazy, no one can hang upside down for more that 15 minutes, you would black out because of blood pressure in the head. But it would be good to work out while you ride the train.
Stephen Hawking is such an attention whore, he would do anything to get his name on the papers! Besides, if you want to go to outer space, you need to train like crazy, and he’s not really the trainning kind…
I think paparazzi following you anywhere must be fun for a day, but after a while, it must be nerver wrecking! But if you want to be famous without the paparazzi part of it, DON’T lunch at the Ivy, DON’T live in Hollywood, DON’T go clubbing to Hollywood Blvrd, it’s that easy!
I’m dying to see that body exhibition (no pun intended) It’s goes on some kind of world tour, just like Madonna, so it will come to México soon, I hope I can go see it (to México City, 4 hours away from here, Querétaro)
The show that makes even crippled geniuses and stolen fetuses funny! (I’m going to hell now!)

April 27, 2007 at 11:23I guess you have to hold on to the straps of the boots, otherwise it looks
like you would slip right out of them.

Love Ya!

April 27, 2007 at 13:36The Body Worlds has been here in Dallas for quite some time. We saw it right before New Years. I have to say it was incredible. I spent nearly a month afterwards thinking about it, whether or not it was art or science or fetish.
Body Worlds Dallas it ends May 28th here..see it for yourself…go look at the va jay jay in the glass case…

April 27, 2007 at 15:17Sal-E is talking about the Mission Space ride where they put you a 4 seater box and all it’s really doing is spinning around in a circle at various speeds to emulate G-force and what it would feel like to blast off. I liked it, it was at Epcot…but yes I think two or three kids have died on it so far….but it was usually because they werent tall enough to ride the ride. Thanks for the shout out Fausto! If anyone’s coming to Orlando for Gay Days 2007 let me know!
Maia says:
April 27, 2007 at 15:18Fausto & Marc, can I put in a request for a dramatic reading of the bullshit that went down on the floor of the Illinois house of representatives last week, over the trans rights bill? (Sponsored by Sara Feigenholtz, who put in a great turn on the FOF a while ago!) I couldn’t believe it when I read it… such ignorant hate speech going on in our state congress. But it must be true, I read it in the Free Press! Anyway, your story about the LA Times reporter whose hairdresser asked him if he would still like football (as if! he is a SPORTS writer… sheez) reminded me of it.
Fausto Fernós says:
April 27, 2007 at 20:41Maia do you have a link to the transcript? I can’t find it anywhere. That would be so HAWT.
Alec says:
April 27, 2007 at 22:48Yeah - Mission Space has two version now - one w/ and one w/o the centrifugal effect (that’s apparently relatively new).
Did it with and glad I did - not sure I’d repeat
The ‘Soaring’ ride was much more interesting.
Mac says:
April 28, 2007 at 10:30Really they have two versions now? That’s crazy. But they were getting all sorts of bad PR about the two deaths. I dunno I went on it and I didn’t feel bad at all, and I’m pretty prone to motion sickness.

Joost, are you Dutch? If so, then yes, twitter suicide would not be interesting to you since assisted suicide is so common in the Netherlands.
