Starting today, I will providing you with special exclusive featurettes on the PCM blog in addition to my usual snarky celeb-news postings.
The weekly themes will be (drum roll, please)
Manic Monday: Celebrity mishaps, snafus, and other boneheaded moves. Let's all feel schadenfreude as Paris Hilton crashes her car, Lindsey Lohan passes out in a bar, and Mary-Kate Olsen tries to vomit the one sesame seed she ate for breakfast five years ago.
New Music Tuesday: Sure, Apple will give you their weekly e-mails of the new music that you just can't live without...and so will I! I'll make it a point to focus on indie bands and singer-songwriters, though I'll certainly review mainstream albums if I have enough to say about them (oh, who am I kidding...OF COURSE I will!)
Whip it out Wednesday: Ladies: are you tired of the gynophobic, open-mouthed booty shots of all the female "celebrities" looking for their fifteen minutes of fame? Yeah, me too. Behold, the answer to all your problems: beefcake shots of all your favorite male celebs! The muscles! The smiles! The five o'clock shadows! The baby oil! Hang on to your hair products and your husbands, girls...
The Weekender Thursdays: Looking for something to do this weekend? Wanna go see a new movie, a new play, meet your favorite celebrity? Look no further than The Weekender Thursdays.
Flashback Fridays: Oh, the memories...the stuff you remember, the stuff you don't, and the stuff you'd like to forget.
Non Sequitor Saturdays: Non sequitor is Latin for "it does not follow." Basically, anything goes.
And on the seventh day, I will rest...
UPDATE: If I do post on Sunday, I'll call it the "Sunday Special," something you won't see on any other blog, in any other form, at any other time. Maybe a photo essay on a live show. Maybe a rumination on a show I've never seen before. Maybe a thought on some reality show or another. We'll see together. :-)
Jenny McCarthy is blasting actress Amanda Peet after she said in this month's Cookie magazine that parents who choose not to vaccinate their children are "parasites."
Even after Amanda apologized for her comments, Jenny is still vigorously defending the autism community. In Spectrum magazine's October/November issue, Jenny says Amanda "has a lot of balls to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side. I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong. Until she walks in our shoes, she has no idea."
After her son was diagnosed with autism, Jenny gained worldwide media attention fighting against what she deems to be unsafe vaccines. She will appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday, October 3. Amanda Peet recently agreed to be a spokesperson for Every Child By Two (ECBT), an organization that raises awareness of the importance of getting children fully immunized by the time they are two years old.
As first reported by MomLogic, the national autism advocacy group Autism United is calling for a boycott of all of Amanda Peet's movies (BG's note: Were these ever big money-makers to begin with?). "We want to send a clear message to her," says Executive Director John Gilmore. "Our community will not support the continued misinformation that is funneled into the media by organizations like ECBT and the American Academy of Pediatrics. We are not against vaccines, rather we are for safe vaccines. Until they understand that, we won't back down. Ms. Peet's comments are deplorable and an apology will not suffice. We applaud Jenny McCarthy's continued efforts and for speaking up for our community."
