Oprah & Obama: "Ordinary" Blacks?

Monday, 5 May 2008 9:09 A GMT+01
Few black Americans have occupied the rarified status of Oprah Winfrey and Barack Obama, two "racially transcendent" blacks whom white admirers find appealing and admirable. But the pedestals the "Double-O's" are perched on are increasingly shaky.

Sending Up Celebrity Culture [Great Photos!]

Thursday, 24 April 2008 8:55 A GMT+01
...Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie having anal sex, Tom Cruise sneaking a look at David Beckham's crotch at a urinal, Paul McCartney about to whack Heather Mills with a wooden leg, and Simon Cowell in the gym suggestively positioned below a bodybuilder.

"Dancing with the Stars" or "The Botox Horror Show"

Monday, 21 April 2008 9:07 A GMT+01
We're supposed to be watching "Dancing With the Stars" to see whether professional athletics or Broadway provides a better foundation for dance. But we're too preoccupied wondering if Priscilla Presley has had the first successful head transplant.

Madonna: Well Past Her Use-By Date

Tuesday, 15 April 2008 8:35 A GMT+01
Remember, this is a woman with so much time on her hands that she can spend four hours a day working out. I know I'm fat, but I have to say that if I spent four hours a day working out, I'd want to look a damn sight hotter than Madonna does.

Can Chronic Insomnia Kill [Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith...]?

Tuesday, 1 April 2008 6:32 P GMT+01
Heath Ledger was described by his ex, Michelle Williams, as having a mind "turning, turning, turning." That might explain the variety of benzodiazepines he took that night -- Valium, Zanax and Restoril. All are effective at quieting a whirring mind.

Cocaine with Kate Moss

Sunday, 30 March 2008 9:46 A GMT+01
As the white powder induces a sudden rush to her brain, she rocks back in her seat and laughs hysterically. The coke is kicking in. Again, she leans forward and again sniffs into a tightly rolled-up £5 note, hoovering up every last grain of cocaine.

Dalai Lama: The Brand Name for Celebrity Buddhism

Friday, 28 March 2008 9:38 A GMT+01
The Hollywood image of Tibet as a Shangri-La guarantees that there is little real understanding of the Tibetan situation amongst the wider population. It's seen as a cultural relic - mystical, unchanging and desirable in an ‘ever changing’ world.

Entertainment News: "Barack Obama" - This Year's Blockbuster

Monday, 24 March 2008 10:12 A GMT+01
The Obama media blitz following his 'race' speech is a carbon copy of Tom Cruise's or Denzel Washington's pre-movie release talk show rounds. We take a look at some of the remarkable parallels between presidential campaigning and movie marketing.

Pop Culture: Our National Obsession with Celebrity Gossip

Friday, 21 March 2008 9:25 A GMT+01
Remembering Britney in her Pepsi commercials - brightly smiling, happy, and safe - was where we were then. Where she is now - overwhelmed, unsure of her privacy or her place in the world - is where we all are, as a generation and as a country.

Heather Mills: Milking Paul McCartney

Thursday, 20 March 2008 11:21 A GMT+01
Greedy fantasist Heather Mills' mind-boggling list of demands totaled a whopping $250 million, according to the explosive court judgment. What she finally got was just under $50 million - $34,000 for every day of her four-year marriage.

Pop Culture: The Tyra Banks Show

Thursday, 20 March 2008 9:27 A GMT+01
Tyra doesn't give the people what they want, she gives them what she wants. The coincidence is that the subjects that command Tyra's interest most, celebrity, fashion and scandal, also happen to be those that her audience finds most fascinating.

Lost Generation Obama

Wednesday, 19 March 2008 9:44 A GMT+01
Generation Obama "is a grass-roots movement led by young activists with a simple goal: electing Barack Obama the next president." And this remarkable conceit: The “next great generation” of Americans can appropriately be called “Generation Obama.”

Is Ellen Page [Juno] a Lesbian? She Doesn't Give a Fuck [Hilarious SNL Video]

Tuesday, 4 March 2008 12:34 P GMT+01
"Saturday Night Live" highlight was a sketch alluding to the zeitgeist currently surrounding Ellen Page: the tongue-wagging about her sexuality. I mean, come on already, is she? You know, Lebanese! She certainly dresses like a, you know, tomboy.

Oscars Celebrate Culture of Spectacle

Wednesday, 27 February 2008 9:41 A GMT+01
Now we need more than God. Along comes the cavalry aka the entertainment industry. What better way to keep the masses somatized than to give them the lowest common denominator? It's not quite bread and circuses. More like shopping and spectacle.

Paul Krugman: Obama Supporters - Venomous Snake-Oil Sales People

Tuesday, 12 February 2008 9:42 A GMT+01
Most of the venom I see is coming from supporters of Obama, who want their hero or nobody. I?m not the first to point out that the Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality. We?ve already had that from the Bush Regime.

Obama: New Age Pitchman

Monday, 11 February 2008 9:44 A GMT+01
Obamaphilia has gotten creepy. Had the two canvassers who came to my door on Sunday taken Ecstasy or were just fantasizing about an Obama presidency? I thought they were going to hug me. Scarlett Johansson called me twice, asking me to vote for him.

Heath Ledger: An Overnight Cliché

Friday, 25 January 2008 1:08 A GMT+01
They're already calling him the next James Dean. They said the same about River Phoenix, when he collapsed from a drug overdose in 1993, even though Dean died in a car crash. The glamour of beauty and self-destruction turned them into tragic heroes.

Sarkozy's French Farce: Also Starring Carla Bruni As High-Class Hooker

Tuesday, 15 January 2008 10:31 A GMT+01
Man trap, serial heart-wrecker, rocker arm candy, photogenic cipher, arrogant heiress, polling gimmick - the woman who may become the first lady of France has been called a lot of things lately. No one has thought of calling her a good catch.

Men Aging Badly: Robert Redford & Co. Look Like Old Lesbians

Wednesday, 9 January 2008 10:03 A GMT+01
Not all men over 40 look like George Clooney. In fact, some middle-aged men, especially those who start experimenting with different styles, begin to look, well, frankly, rather like old lesbians. Or at least, let?s say, like middle-aged lesbians.

Britney Spears Blow-Out: Mental Illness Becomes a Spectator Sport

Tuesday, 8 January 2008 9:52 A GMT+01
From top to rock bottom, from Bournemouth to Beverly Hills, we've all become voyeurs, gawpers. That's the distressing bit. A deluded 26-year-old has lost her bearings and her two small children. And we're queuing up for a peek and a snigger.

Celebrity Worship: Jesus Christ! [Marketing a Pop Icon]

Monday, 31 December 2007 10:11 A GMT+01
Jesus now has his own clothing line. Kids everywhere are sporting his 'hip' image on T-shirts, proclaiming “Jesus is my Homeboy too”. If that's not enough to show how much you like Jesus, you can also order the mug, bumper sticker, or dog tag.

Just Released: Brangelina & the Superbaby [Dispatches]

Wednesday, 19 December 2007 9:36 A GMT+01
So according to Forbes magazine, who have weighed up all the babies in the world and decided that the baby supremo, the czar baby, the baby of all babies is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's superbaby Shiloh PittJolie or JoliePitt, or whatever.

Paris Hilton Promotes Champagne in a Can! [Dispatches]

Monday, 17 December 2007 8:58 A GMT+01
There's something exquisitely perfect about Paris selling champagne in a can. It's the combination of privilege and trash. Add to that a gold spray-painted Hilton writhing on a cracked, post-apocalyptic Earth. It's the signifier of the week, folks.

Oprah & Obama: The Black & Brown Minstrel Show

Sunday, 16 December 2007 10:37 A GMT+01
Oprah Winfrey – a certified genius of self-salesmanship – and the faux progressive, fraudulent anti-war candidate Barack Obama wowed crowds in South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire in a mega-media celebration of celebrity, itself.

Jodie Foster Finally Comes Out [Dispatches]

Thursday, 13 December 2007 10:29 A GMT+01
So now we know. Jodie Foster's partner of at least 15 years is a woman. Just like Jodie. That's right, folks: Jodie Foster is a lesbian. This startling piece of news is akin to the shock revelation that Rudolph the Reindeer has a very shiny nose.
