February 28, 2006 Volume 46 1. HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH Just thought I’d say that. No reason. Just kidding. This and every month, is the month black people celebrate being…black. Black culture is very diverse and to be appreciated year round. AISHA MUSIC AWARDS And The Winners Are... The Best Airbag - Sean Federline.
Best Botox Breakthrough - goes to Madonna
for proving a Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum face is not better than wrinkles. The Is He High And Is This Proof Award and the Does He Know His Mic Is Still On Award - goes to CNN's Wolf Blitzer for his shock and awe Hurricane Katrina coverage in uttering the proceeding words live on air, "Many of these people, almost all of them that we see are so poor and they are so black." Oh dear. The Worst Mix Tape Award - goes to Osama Bin Laden for his audio recording threats. Your lyrics/threats are non-negotiable and hard to dance to. The Most Tireless Publicist Award and the Publicist PMS Award - goes to Liz Rosenberg for her tireless efforts at lying/truthiness on Madonna's behalf, all while being completely ornery. Publicists should always remember, ornery rhymes with coronary. The Worst Break Up Award - goes to Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey (Whyyyy! Tell each other you're sorry and call it off). Best Break Up Award - goes to NBC and the show the "Book Of Daniel." Um, who's in charge of programming and more importantly, why? Best Boycott Award - goes to The AFA. The Best Accent Award - goes to Matthew McConaughey. The Worst Accent Award - goes to Madonna for butchering the British accent in ways people previously never thought possible. The Most Unusual Baby Name Award - goes to Apple Martin (daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and singer Chris Martin). As a poster on a message board said, and I'm paraphrasing here, you know when she goes to school the other kids are gonna stick an i on the end of her name and call her "Apple Martini." However, she's a pretty little girl, so she won't get teased much.
AWARDS SHOWS We know a good thing when we see it, right. But Hollywood likes to patronize everyone. Like we are too dumb to get or gauge great cinema and it is their job to tell us via heavily handing out awards to odd films that didn’t connect with the public, which is a crock. WHITE HOUSE NEWS
Vice President Dick Cheney There's an old Bob Marley song called "I Shot The Sheriff." Well, looks like Dick Cheney shot the sheriff too. Well, not quite. As most of you know, Vice President Cheney accidentally shot an attorney (all of you stop cheering at the words “shot an attorney”) Harry “50 Cent” Whittington.
Harry, like rapper 50 Cent, took 500 bullets and kept on ticking. Poor man, I saw his interview and he’s just glad to be alive (teasing again). It was later announced from the ER that Harry’s forthcoming album will be titled “Get Shot Or Die Trying” on his indie label Sue You Records. The AP reported Mr. Whittington, aged 77, is, “Sitting up in a chair, eating regular food, and he actually plans on doing some of his attorney work in his room." “Attorney work” - you know he’s writing up that lawsuit, don’t you. That’s probably what gave him the will to live. Dude probably fought off the white light just to come back and file the lawsuit. Just kidding. Thank God he survived. RANDOM STUFF What Were You Thinking!
And from the What-Were-You-Thinking file: “Thessaloniki, Greece - A Greek hiker found a 6,500-year-old gold pendant in a field and handed it over to authorities, an archaeologist said Thursday.” - Yahoo Ever heard of EBay. Really, do you know what the average rapper could do with that! Kidding. CELEBRITY Baby On Board Pt 2
Britney Spears: "Turn left here, son"
Britney Spears: "Slow down son, the speed limit is like,100 MPH." Let’s do a follow up, shall we.
The article turned out to be a little too prophetic. It was almost worth having to gag from quoting Page Six. Fast-forward a few short months and it's more baby and vehicle issues for Spears. Apparently this month, either the State of California lowered the driving age to 5 months or Spears’ 5 month old baby can drive or Britney was illegally driving with her son in her lap. Yup, it was the latter. Britney wouldn’t even prove me wrong in what I wrote a few months ago. Maybe I should have written get a car seat!
She released a statement that read she was
"terrified" by the "aggressive" paparazzi so she fled, but she doesn’t look
scared in the pics. She’s grinning and driving along.
Spears is so terrified of the paparazzi, she is seen here smiling. "At the point where she made the decision to drive with the baby in her lap, there was only one photographer and he wasn't even shooting," Kelly Davis, vice president of X17, told the BBC.” "George Spaly, who took the pictures, was not aggressive, nor did he pose any sort of threat to Britney or her baby. In fact, Britney and George have known each other for several years. She smiled and talked to George after arriving at the Starbuck's. Britney asked George not to take pictures of her and the baby at the Starbuck's and he agreed." "In fact, on this particular afternoon at 1 p.m., it was so quiet that another bodyguard following in a car behind Britney's left shortly after arriving at the Starbuck's. She had her right hand on the wheel and her other hand apparently holding her kid. That's when George started shooting. He kept a respectable distance. Britney just wasn't thinking." - BBC The Suspected Problem "It's quite possible that Britney and Kevin hadn't gotten to installing the child car seat in the back. Not that that's any sort of excuse.” - National Ledger "Most Americans Know To Put Their Children In Child Seats" "What many have feared has now been confirmed: at least 98% of all Americans are more intelligent than Britney Spears. As has been widely reported, new mom Britney, 24, was photographed driving her SUV with a look of bovine contentment on her face and 4 month-old son Sean in her lap. No safety device of any kind appears in the photo. Per the chart below, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration informs us that 98% of Americans have enough sense and regard for the law to secure their infants in child safety seats. – Cleveland.com “I love my baby more than anything, and as unfortunate an experience as this has been for me and my family, if it brings more attention to child safety then I fully support that." – Britney Spears Note to Britney: The rest of us already knew that. No awareness needed there. Some Journo Feedback: 1. “Britney Driven To Stupidity” – The Courier Mail 2. “All this bother has kind of put a dent into Britney's plans for the finale of her big comeback concerts - firing Sean Preston out of a cannon, through a tunnel of fire, over a cage of hungry lions and into a piranha-filled paddling pool.” - Heckler Spray 3. “Britney, Britney, Britney. What were you thinking? Oh, that's right, you weren't.” – The Times Republican 4. “I never expected her to win any mother of the year awards, but this is ridiculous.” - iVillage 5. “Britney Spears has demonstrated once again her ability to make bad decisions…Never one to accept responsibilities for her actions, Spears is blaming the paparazzi…While the bodyguard was in the coffee shop, Spears put Sean on her lap and then (cue scary music) the paparazzi came at the car...“I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger.” That’s right, Britney, keep telling yourself that the paparazzi forced you drive your car with your baby in an unsafe manner.” – The San Francisco Examiner 6. "Recent photos of Britney Spears driving with her infant son on her lap are troubling. And while Ms. Spears has acknowledged her mistake, her actions still send the wrong message to millions of her fans. No matter who you are, there's absolutely no excuse for this display - not instinct, not fear, not even reckless paparazzi. It's irresponsible to compromise the safety of a child for the sake of the moment," said Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta. – Associated Press. 7. “Does anyone remember the 37-year-old mother of two who allowed her children (ages 3 and 9) and their 8-year-old friend to ride in the trunk of her car? She pulled down the back seat so she could see them as she was driving a distance of less than a mile. During her trial, Lucas said she complied with the childish request because she wanted to be "a cool mom. "So stupid. Speaking of stupid ... Spears was photographed earlier this month driving her SUV with her infant son on her lap. Spears got off with only a lecture from Transportation Secretary Norm Mineta (delivered indirectly). Lucas was convicted of three counts of child endangerment. She also was cited for reckless driving, negligence and driving without a license.” – Seattle Post Intelligencer 9. “This one tops the list of "best excuses”…Spears called it "maternal instinct" when she held her baby on her lap while driving away from photographers instead of putting the child in its car seat - as the law requires. Perhaps Britney will woo her fans with a new album - "Maternal Instinct" - which will show the picture of her baby sitting on her lap as she sped away to her manager's office with this great idea for a new CD. Of all the lame excuses... What mother would bother to care about some guy with a camera over the safety of her child, especially Britney Spears, who after all this time is used to being photographed? – AXcess News Her fan numbers are starting to dwindle, as they are looking elsewhere thanks to Spears bizarre conduct over the last year. Her lying then half-hearted denial didn’t help either. Many people on different sites read by millions posted their opinions and across the board it was anger:
1. Sadly the baby would have had no chance in the event of an accident, trapped between an air-bag, and an air-head! - Graham, Hampshire, uk 2. "I was terrified they would put us in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way." - Hmm yes, cameras are far more dangerous than a crash in a speeding car, I agree Britney! As if. - Lorna Jackson, Bath, UK 3. Seems to me stardom and responsibility don’t necessarily go hand in hand. Stars - especially if fame hits in their teens, get used to having everything their way, and don’t understand that the rules that govern the rest of us just may also apply to them. - Vicky, Bexhill 4. How foolish and stupid. But she is once again making headlines. As the old saying goes "all publicity is good publicity". - John Sivorn, Piegut-Pluviers, France 5. I'm sure this won't get too much publicity. Now if it had been her dog on her lap...- Martyn James Fraser, Liverpool 6. If she was so terrified of journalists, why didn't she shut the window? Unbelievable and irresponsible. - Dawn, Liverpool 7. When I am driving down the highway I sometimes wonder which driver of an oncoming car (approaching me at 70 MPH) has a dog in his or her lap. You just can't escape idiots. - Tom, Magnolia, Texas USA 8. I wonder, if there had been an accident, who Miss Spears would have blamed? - Helen Dickinson, Deddington, Oxfordshire 9. I think Britney was using the paparazzi as an excuse to cover up her stupidity for driving with her baby on her lap! No one ever ever should remove a child from a car seat! - Margaret, London, Canada 10. For someone who makes a show of putting on a "good show" for the cameras, it's strange Britney suddenly felt threatened by the shutter bugs. For all we know, this photo was taken by chance, not as a result of being descended upon my camera. - Paula, London, England 11. I think Britney once again shows that she's not one for much though. If her instinct was the safety of her baby, putting it in the position of greatest risk (between her and the steering wheel), shows that she has very poor instincts. Also, from the published photos she appears very relaxed and certainly doesn't show the raw panic she describes in her statement. I think she's using the paparazzi as an excuse for her sheer stupidity. - Dave, Washington, DC 12. She's a celebrity! She knows the paparazzi will be there. And she loves every minute of it! She gets no sympathy from me. - Susan M., Lincoln, NE, USA 13. This is Britney Spears! Come on! Are we surprised at her stupidity? - Donia Erickson, Mont Belvieu, Texas; USA 14. She clearly was not too worried-her window was open and she seemed fairly calm. Come on Britney-we all know you made a mistake-just admit it. - Angela, london 15. Also, if she is trying to protect her child, why is she not wearing her seatbelt? - Irene, USA 16. Given all the money Britney has in the bank, it's too bad she couldn't buy a carseat and safely strap her son in. - Kim, Virginia 17. She has a bodyguard with her and she's "scared" of the paparazzi? The window is even open. Seems to me like it was just a silly, indulgent act by Britney who probably has no idea about the laws in this state for child safety. She should wise up fast, silly girl. - Alison, California, USA Feedback posted by iVillage users: 18. Um...if she waited for her bodyguard to get back in the car before she sped away, didn't she have time to put the rugrat back in his carseat? Posted by Amy on February 07 at 10:29am 19. I too think that social services should be called on her but maybe they say "hey we can see what she does all day we don't have to do any thing" but if it were any one else, you know we would get in big trouble I agree she is a WACK JOB Posted by pos on February 07 at 10:44am 20. No excuses. No song, no cigarette, no world tour would bring Baby Sean back if she got into an accident. She signed up for this life style, so use the brain...if she's so worried about exposing him to this life, get out of the lime light! Stars have been doing it for decades. Posted by Marie on February 07 at 10:50am 21. As much as I appreciate your comments, I think what Britney has done IS real wrong. Think about it - there are people in the world that love her and watch her and do as she does. What kind of example is she setting by neglecting the well-being of her child? And what kind of example would DCFS set if they do nothing about it? It's a sad world when, if you wear skimpy clothes and dance around, you can do whatever you want with your child with no consequences. Posted by Mary N on February 07 at 10:59am 22. i agree with everyone else if that was us we would be charged and thrown in jail. but because its brittany its ok? no there needs to be only one set of rules celebrity or not. as for the rest of the wrong that is happening, i am just as disgraced about that but that should be left in the hands of social services and more people should be speaking up. look at all the children who get put back in their parents care only to be hurt or even hospitalized because of them? come on if the parent is a threat to the child remove them until they are no longer a threat. Posted by shannon on February 07 at 11:03am 23. just looked at the pictures and it looks like shes laughing. She is a moron. agree that babies should always be in car seats. Posted by Michelle on February 07 at 12:27pm 24. There is NO REASON, NO EXCUSE, to NOT have your child in a carseat!!! Even my 7 yr old nephew knows that! And to not be wearing a seatbelt herself, she must want her ignorant husband to get all of her money. Posted by Jo on February 07 at 01:06pm 25. Oh yes, I'm sure Kevin would've know better....after all he should be the father of the year, ditching his pregnant girlfriend to get it on with Britney and her money. Posted by Amy on February 07 at 02:05pm 26. Britney Coo Coo Spears you need serious counseling for real. Posted by none ya business on February 07 at 02:32pm
"With Brit's track record she probably dropped SPF in the bushes. - Jen | 02.23.06 - 6:50 pm | # Poor pitiful Britney" Family Planning SPF, I take it, is short for her child's name Sean Preston Federline. SPF is also short for Sun Protection Factor (sunscreen). While Britney Spears initials are B.S. Does this family not think of what their initials will be before they settle on first names. Baby Can’t Doo-Doo In Peace “Britney Spears Rushes Baby Sean To Hospital…Over him taking a dump... Poor old Britney Spears was left looking a red faced after she rushed her baby Sean Preston to hospital only to discover he was trying to take a dump!" However, a worried Britney and her bodyguard were embarrassed after nurses informed them that he was just trying to fill his nappy (diaper). Surely the baby must have had a poo of some kind during the first four months of his life?…” -Entertainmentwise Britney Spears Gets A Nanny
Britney Spears: "So that's how you feed him! Oops, you shouldn't have fed him yet. They say it's not good to drink and drive. Now who's gonna drive us home!"
Britney Spears: "I wonder if there's a Starbucks in this mall, so I can get something for my son to drink."
Britney Spears: "Kevin would love that marij... uh, I mean tree. Wonder if I can get it through customs."
Nanny: "Slow down, you're
going too fast and he's sliding out of the stroller!" Britney Still In the Kabbalah Cult
Britney Spears: "This Kabbalah string is cutting off my circulation." Britney is still in the Kabbalah cult, and much like Madonna, it's not working for her. She's being slammed all over the internet for her antics, her fan base is dwindling, her husband was photographed reportedly smoking weed, her husband was photographed with his arm around another woman and on another occasion this month, "hitting on Jessica Simpson." Oh yea, the red strings work, alright -cough- at jinxing cult members.
Feedback from the internet: 1. No! I don't want them to break up! There's too much comedy and entertainment with them together. I see she's wearing one of those Kaballah bracelets ::: rolls eyes ::: Well, at least this way SPF will have a playmate when his parents are in and out of rehab. LA | Homepage | 02.23.06 - 6:53 pm | 2. Britney looks more pregnant ever day... I hope that she leaves that scum bag of a husband for good, since those pictures of him came out yesterday with that chic. How embarrassing for her. Oh well. It's her own fault. kupkake | 02.23.06 - 7:23 pm
(pics from Popsugar) 3. all that misery she brought on herself. i have no sympathy for her whatsover..she must have THE LOWEST SELF ESTEEM to want to stay married to that ...... She knows deep down kevin is just using her and yet is not ready to admit it, go forward with the divorce and live a life away from him…but he will ALWAYS be in her life, cos of sean, he will be in her life forrreverrr!kevin is the rash that will never go away. she wants to keep her pretend family together and that screams out low self worth. poor sean..its not his fault who his parents are. - flower 4. WT*! How does Britney allows this leech to act like this and not kick his lazy *** out for good?!! What is this???!! Plus, she’s thinner than Brits too! Fab-girl February 22, 2006 at 7:59 pm 5. She doesn’t actually look like brit to me. are k-fed’s 15 minutes up yet? Gracie February 22, 2006 at 8:07 pm 6. He’s already getting 1/2 hr. like Paris Ho-lton.What’s wrong with Britney’s self-esteem? Fab-girl February 22, 2006 at 8:10 pm 7. Stoned and left with the wrong blond. Valeri February 22, 2006 at 8:15 pm 8. Even if my husband were too smart to cheat, and knew he was being photographed everywhere, I would still be a little more than ****** off to see these photos if I were Britney. I know that we all rag on her for being a mess and making bad decisions for herself, but if I ever saw pictures like these of my boyfriend, famous or not, cheating or not, I would flip my lid. I’m not a jealous girlfriend by nature, but there are just some things you don’t do with other women, and being photographed in a position like this is one of them. If I were Britney and came face to face with that girl, honey would be cleaning her teeth up off the pavement of that parking lot, that much is for sure!!! andrea February 22, 2006 at 8:45 pm 9. Yeah, the way they are holding each other is totally inappropriate for a married man. Me and my guy friends don’t hold each other like that when we’re walking down the street. K-Fed is such a loser. For real. We all know guys like him, don’t we? And we avoid them like the plague…can’t imagine WHAT Britney was thinking when she married this fool. Skye February 22, 2006 at 9:23 pm 10. They HAVE to be smashed on something. he looks like he is holding her up. her outfit makes me feel unwell. Hopefully he will run off with her and leave Brit alone. PrincessPixie February 22, 2006 at 9:32 pm 11. I would love it if he ran off with her!!! but then again she probably doesn’t have money he can spend so i doubt it, This the part of Brits life that makes her look like a complete idiot. For once she should take lessons from Christina, at least her husband works and bought her ring himself. lola_k February 23, 2006 at 5:12 am 12. Hanging out with
K-Fed to get some press???? okay, I don’t think I have to explain what is wrong
with that. 13.

Britney Spears On TV Show "Will And Grace"
Britney Spears knocking off Jessica Simpson's look via hair extensions Public Feedback: 1. Jessica Simpson called and she wants her look back! Jo | February 24, 2006 06:17 PM 2. is she trying to look like jessica simpson or something? nat | February 24, 2006 07:30 PM 3. Even in photos you
can tell how bad an actress she is. ~Katie~ | February 23, 2006 09:05 PM
4. “Britney Spears, who no one likes, is shooting scenes for Will & Grace, which no one watches.” - Egotastic
“NBC says Spears story was premature. Britney Spears` announced stint on NBC`s 'Will & Grace' as a chef in a feature called 'Cruci-fixin`s' has ruffled some feathers at the Peacock Network. The Mississippi-based American Family Association was not amused, E! Online reported Saturday. The conservative group responded swiftly, calling for an NBC boycott. 'NBC is clearly mocking the Christian faith,' the group`s founder, Donald Wildmon, posted on the AFA Web site. 'They clearly have hostility toward the Christian faith, They absolutely will not treat Jews or Muslims in this manner ... .' NBC responded by saying the initial release contained 'erroneous information ... mistakenly included' in the Spears` announcement…The episode has not been written yet…'the reference to `Cruci-fixin`s` will not be in the show and the storyline will not contain a Christian characterization at all.' - United Press International "Britney Spears (Was) In Hospital" "We're told Spears complained of stomach cramps.
This is not Spears' first problem with stomach cramps. Last September, she went
to a Santa Monica hospital complaining of the same ailment." - TMZ Spears Planning A
"I haven't seen anybody out there who has had a performance where I'm like: 'That's awesome.' It's been boring. I used to listen to blues music and all that stuff. I would like to try to have more influences of that sound. Not that I'm going to be like Tina Turner, but you never know." – Britney Spears Britney Spears and Tina Turner in the same sentence? Something tells me, Tina Turner knock off or not, her career will never be the same again. People do not see her the same anymore after her poor choices over the last year and a half. Madonna Continues To Steer Britney In The Wrong Direction
Madonna is reportedly advising Britney on making a comeback. In my humble opinion, Madonna is gonna be the downfall of that girl. That is where this is headed. The Cult News web site thought it inappropriate as well that Madonna mentor her, seeing as how she's already steered her in the wrong direction getting her involved in the sick Kabbalah cult in the first place. The fruits of it are wreaking havoc on her life. Both Madonna and Britney are now firmly in the same boat - bad marriages, bad music, bad press and bad images. Read the internet and not the spin their PR people put out every week via neurotically faxing and emailing press outlets stories for placement in the papers, and you'll find how the public truly feels.
Mariah Carey @ the 2006 Grammys They suggested, " "...Isn’t all this just a bit presumptuous? Should Madonna be dispensing advice to anyone given her own current problems? After all she is reportedly coming to California largely because her own five-year marriage is in meltdown. And many have observed that the aging icon has become a bit too obsessed with both exercise and diet. Rather than face the fact that no one can stop the clock Madonna who is pushing 50 exercises three hours daily and observes a diet that has left here looking more like a victim of malnutrition than an example for Britney to follow. As for career advice Britney might be better off calling comeback queen Mariah Carey. The curvaceous singer hasn’t suffered from her healthy intake of food, as the three Grammy awards she took home recently demonstrate." - Cult News Federline Fed Up
Can you say forced smiles I won’t mention the name of Britney Spears husband's debut single on here, as the title seems vulgar in Portuguese, therefore I’ll just call his song a name that sounds like it, potpourri. Federline is fed up with the press and the
backlash he has experienced. However,
Spears and Beyonce Slammed "Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Blasted by Body Shop Founder for “Pimp Culture” – Body Shop founder Anita Roddick has criticised pop stars such as Britney Spears and Beyoncé for glorifying a “pimp and whore” culture through their sexually suggestive performances and lyrics. “A lot of people seem to think it’s cool to be a pimp or a whore,” she told London’s Evening Standard. “It’s not cool. The reality is dark and evil and appalling and unregulated.” – Lifesite.net You should not aspire to be like these women. While they can find forgiveness in God if they change, He will nonetheless hold them accountable for the appalling example they set for impressionable audiences. When your legacy is, through your work and actions, teaching little girls to dress like prostitutes and that they have to be overtly (publicly) sexual to be accepted – you have made a massively negative contribution to this world. It is not commendable at all. CELEBRITY Paris Hilton Robbed, Dissed and Slapped…With A Restraining Order
Another follow up, this one on last month’s Sound Off article. Another celebrity, and Kabbalah cult member having a rough month, is Paris Hilton. She was rightfully slapped with a restraining order for harassment, stalking and making terroristic threats. In her depo she was disrespectful to Mexicans, stating she is afraid of them (what’s she doing, seeing how many groups of people she can slur in one year?). If you ask me, it’s Mexicans who should be afraid of her (you know, with her threatening innocent people’s lives, wanting to take out contracts on innocent people and let’s not forget her singing). I teased her publicist in the Column last month and it was affirmed in that his denials turned out to be wrong like I wrote. “Paris Hilton lost a harassment case against her in Los Angeles on Tuesday, when a public-relations consultant was granted a restraining order against her. Brian Quintana claims Hilton threatened to put a hit out on him after he told her boyfriend (and his client) Stavros Niarchos that she might have an STD, when Star magazine contacted him regarding the possibility. "I wanted him to be aware that she might have herpes, to make sure he didn't catch anything," Quintana testified. Hilton threatened him, he said, but he initially dismissed it as venting. "She said, 'If this gets out, you're a ----ing dead man,' " he said. Quintana testified that he didn't take it seriously until he started getting threatening phone calls from Hilton, in which he claims she said, "I'm going to put a contract out on you." "A, she's got the resources to pull something like this off and B, she's a drug addict," Quintana told the court.” - MTV “A judge yesterday slapped a restraining order on Paris Hilton….Quintata reportedly once told Stavros that he should ditch Paris and get back with the Olsen girl, thus incurring the manic wrath of Paris Hilton, and all the pushing and stuff.” - Heckler spray Don’t you feel sorry for her publicist at this point. -Aisha hands bottle of antacid to Paris’ publicist, “Here, have some pepto. You earned it”- “In court documents, Quintana alleged that Hilton "has a drug and alcohol problem, some rather shady associates and is known for erratic behavior." He claimed he felt he was in "imminent danger" from the celebutante's wrath. Last month, Hilton's rep, Elliot Mintz, denied the validity of Quintana's accusations. "I can assure you that when all of the facts are revealed in this matter, they will show that the victim is, in fact, Paris Hilton," he told the Associated Press. As it turns out, the legal system took a different view on the situation, siding with Quintana against his nemesis. - Yahoo News From the Los Angeles Times: After Hilton threatened him, he began getting calls from anonymous men saying he's "a dead man," Quintana said. He called Hilton "a physical and abusive person." Quintana said he hopes his police report will lead to criminal charges. "I'm going to sleep better at night knowing that she or her henchmen can't come after me," Brian Quintana said after leaving the courtroom. "Usually, it's the celeb that needs protection." Not in the Kabbalah cult, dear. They are some of the most nefarious, depraved celebrity cult members in existence, who are a danger to the public and have shown it through their actions. Paris robbed and extorted Paris was robbed, among the contents, a videotape of her nastily using the N-word behind the backs of two black men who had approached her at a party to pitch a business venture to her. She referred to them as “Dirty N*****s.” She later paid a reported “$20,000 a month” to stop a copy of the tape from being released. Paris The Racist
Brandon Davis, pictured with actress Mischa Barton, said of Hilton: "She was forever using the 'N-word.' I told her not to use it. It was offensive. But she just laughed. She is a racist, plus an idiot. Every black person she referred to was a 'n-----. She uses the word all the time. And I've known her all her life. It's 'n-----' this and 'n-----' that. She's a disgrace. She IS a racist! She puts down Jews and other minorities, too. And I'm Jewish. I found it depressing. The Hilton sisters think they are better than everyone else. Paris and Nicky get off on making fun of people and putting them down. That's all these girls do. They think it makes them look and feel better. They make fun of everything. I've known Paris almost since I was born. I finally had enough of her attitude six months ago and I finished with her." Paris Robbed Again
Paris didn’t pay her storage bill and her stuff
was sold at bargain basement prices: “Meanwhile, Hilton may be considering shelling out a sizable chunk of cash to reacquire a slew of her possessions, including journals, photos and videotapes, which fell into the hands of Phoenix-based porn broker David Hans Schmidt after the bill on her Los Angeles storage unit went unpaid. Schmidt has said he plans to auction off the items for $20 million but would consider offering Hilton a "small discount" if she felt inclined to bid on her belongings. Hilton's rep said last week that she hadn't ruled out buying back the items but that the $20 million price tag was "irrational." – E! Robert Redford Slams Paris
Actor Robert Redford "To the outside world, it's a big fat market where you have people like Paris Hilton going to parties. Now, she doesn't have anything to do with anything. I think the festival is close to being out of control," Sundance Festival's Founder (Robert Redford) told Newsweek. – Yahoo News Mischa Barton Slams Paris
Actress Mischa Barton [pic courtesy of Tony Barson/Wire Image] "Add Mischa Barton to the list of others, including Nicole Richie, Shannon Doherty and socialite Zeta Graff, who are feuding with Paris Hilton. When asked about Paris this week she said, ""Paris isn't my rival. I met her one or two times and she's making out there's this big rivalry between us and there so isn't. She seems to hate everyone around her age who is more successful. Silly b****. I tuned into the Brits because I like to know what's going on in British music and I saw her and I was like 'what?' She was coming out with all this ridiculous stuff like 'I love London because whatever'. Paahleese." And when it comes to the issue of boyfriends, Mischa claims that Paris definitely does not have a "hands-off policy" when it came to other people's men. "She does steal people's boyfriends!" – Film Fodder Frank Lampard's Fiancée Slams Paris
Soccer Player Frank Lampard Speaking of that…I wrote about Frank Lampard two months ago. Apparently Paris tried to hit on him in the presence of his pregnant girlfriend this month. Just class (ok, no). “Paris Hilton makes a new enemy - Paris Hilton apparently has got Chelsea and England footballer Frank Lampard in her sights: she has pursued him on two different occasions, including last week’s Brit awards, making sure he had her mobile number - which has angered Frank’s fiancée no end. Elen Rives, the mother of Frank’s six-month old daughter, has slammed Paris’s actions. According to the Mirror, Elen fumed: “Frank obviously only has eyes for me. He’s a family man and is completely devoted to me and Luna. This Paris Hilton might be used to getting what she wants, but this is one man she can’t have. She might have millions but she’s no match for me.” - Femaletastic Unkind acts such as these have come to identify Paris to the general public as a cruel, mischievous, troublesome, home wrecking deviant. As a general rule, through her promiscuous conduct, a woman shouldn’t gain classification as her own form of an STD. Pink vs. Paris More on the Paris Backlash... Pink made a video with its centerpiece dissing Paris Hilton. Hilton retorted that Pink was "Using her to make a comeback." Pink retorted, "Spell it. Spell Comeback."
Ever since Pink made said video slamming Paris and people she viewed as her friends, actresses have spoken up, publicly distancing themselves from her (Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen Twins). While I've got nothing against the Olsen Twins or Lohan, Lindsay seemed to be influenced by Paris, who she hung out with (change in appearance and attitude). Lindsay Lohan (another Kabbalah cult member) featured in the video, is a smart girl (how did you get involved with those cult people) and a good actress. I was impressed with her years ago as a child actress in "The Parent Trap" (“It Takes Two”) where she played twins so well that you'd think it was twin actresses playing the parts. But it seems like ever since she started hanging out with Paris Hilton and that crowd, she started playing up the shallow factor, much like her character in “Mean Girls,” and it has hurt her name. She is a talented girl. She has a great natural hair color that gave her a unique look (says Aisha hypocritically). You’re not an idiot. Don’t diminish who you are trying to hang with Paris Hilton, who is as lost as can be.
PETA Slams Paris
Paris Hilton covered in powder…just not the kind she is used to. PETA is mad at Paris, who they deem a person who

Rajeevnath, who was searching for a suitable actress to play Mother Teresa in his film on the Nobel Peace laureate, has decided to ask American actress Paris Hilton to play the Saint.” Sify "My agents in California have contacted Paris Hilton." – Rajeevnath God should strike the director of this film and his film sets with lightening for dishonoring the memory of Mother Teresa in attempting to cast Paris Hilton as her. A woman lives a virtuous life and devotes her years to helping the infirmed and the poor – and you attempt to cast a porn star to play her? CELEBRITY Gay Investigator Digging For Dirt On Tom Cruise

Donald Trump and Martha Stewart have been fighting over her recently cancelled spin off of his show "The Apprentice." Aww, don’t fight. You are two of the brightest entrepreneurs in the world. Now, let’s all hold hands and sing Negro spirituals. Just kidding. The Donald: "Martha Stewart: The Apprentice was a mistake for everybody — especially NBC.” The Martha: "Having two `Apprentices' was as unfair to him as it was unfair to me," she told Newsweek. "But Donald really wanted to stay on." The Donald: "Your performance was terrible in that the show lacked mood, temperament and just about everything a show needs for success," he wrote. "I knew it would fail as soon as I first saw it — and your low ratings bore me out." "Essentially, you made this firing up just as you made up your sell order of ImClone," said Trump, who claimed NBC did not intend to fire him on Stewart's show. The Martha: "The letter is so mean-spirited and reckless that I almost can't believe my longtime friend Donald Trump wrote it," she stated. "I am very proud of the work we did with Mark Burnett Productions and Mr. Trump, who was an executive producer, on `The Apprentice: Martha Stewart.' Many young entrepreneurs learned so much from the show and enjoyed it. The Donald: Trump fired back on CNBC's "The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch," saying repeatedly that he is upset because he was "her number one advocate...and what does she do? She blames me for her show's failure." "Of course the letter was mean spirited, but I think what she did was mean spirited." QUASI JOURNALISM Lloyd Grove
Two of the gossip columnists I wrote about –
Grove who I called “Screech” and “Rainman” and Victoria Newton who I called
“Elvira” have both put up new pics this month. You know, for gossip columnists
who degrade, insult and horribly disparage people all the time for not meeting
your pathetic ideals, you both sure take it personal when it’s done to you. Granted, their new pics look a little less spooky, however on the inside, you both have hearts the devil would be proud of. While Newton’s pic has been thoroughly air-brushed, ala her partner in crime, literally, Madonna, who won a popular web column’s “Airbrushing Award” made up in her honor, Grove took the manly approach. What’s with the prominent, scene stealing Mount Rushmore zit on your face. Take some of the money that the Daily News pays you to libel and defame people and buy some zit remover. Or was that a beauty mark –cough- a mole. Lloyd Lurking Around My Space Lloyd Grove reported on the underage activity of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s kids on the popular young person’s web site myspace.com Lloyd, what are you doing lurking around Myspace. Someone Clobbered Madonna's Book Illustrator I read an excerpt on another site that linked a story where Grove reported on Madonna’s illustrator of her Copyright, Right To Privacy and Right to Publicity infringing book, The English Roses. It seems said illustrator got the doo-doo kicked out of him. For the record, I was in Miami at the time of the beating. I had nothing to do with it: "Three thugs brutally beat and kicked Madonna's children's book illustrator Jeffrey Fulvimari after he left the Chelsea nightspot Crobar early Sunday morning. "I don't even remember anyone attacking me," the 43-year-old Fulvimari, the artist for Madonna's "The English Roses," told Lowdown yesterday from St. Vincent's Hospital, where he was being treated for skull fractures. "All of the sudden I was down, then people were asking me questions and I was being pqt in an ambulance." "I think these guys thought we were cutting them in line," said Paredes, who suffered a dislocated shoulder. "I went to get in the car, and when I turned around I saw three big guys beating Jeffrey up really bad. I went and said, 'Stop! Stop!' and they just took me over right away and they beat me up. It happened so fast." The cops are looking for the unidentified miscreants, and Fulvimari needs reconstructive surgery on his left eye socket. "I'm lucky I don't have brain damage or hearing damage," he said from his hospital bed. Follow up - Madonna was "shocked" and "devastated" yesterday by Lowdown's exclusive about the vicious attack on her children's book illustrator Jeffrey Fulvimari — which left the artist in the hospital with multiple skull fractures, including a broken eye socket. "She was very devastated at the news," Madge's spokeswoman, Liz Rosenberg, told me yesterday after speaking with the 47-year-old pop diva. "It was shocking news. She's very fond of Jeffrey … and she will be reaching out to be him." Oh, you know what that means. She’ll tie a Kabbalah red string around his eye socket before surgery, much to the doctor’s annoyance. QUASI JOURNALISM Roger Friedman The ever incorrect Roger Friedman of FoxNews.com, was wrong again. You make it so easy Roger. You really do. On February 9 , 2006, he insisted in his column, "The fact that Mariah’s voice and fashion were as good as you can get. Believe me, she sold more copies of her “Mimi” album last night to put it back in next week’s top 5." One week later, the album didn't make the top 5 as he predicted (nothing against Mariah - this is about Roger). A dismayed Roger wrote, on February 14, 2006: " On February 14, 2006 Roger asserted in his column without knowing how to read the Hits Daily Double Charts early estimates, "If “hits” is correct, the big winner from last week is still … Barry Manilow. On February 15, 2006, he wrote in his column, "The No. 1 album of the week is Jack Johnson’s soundtrack to the 'Curious George' movie. Go figure." Note to Roger - Don't post the Hits Chart as final until the little graphic at the top of the page says "final." And even then, Billboard's numbers aren't always the same based on what they get from Soundscan, which was manipulated by Jay Z on one occasion the public knows of, therefore it is corruptible. Another incident featuring Roger taking his foot out of his mouth: O Two weeks later, he’s flip flopping again:
Interestingly, Jackson’s signature appears on the form changing attorneys, dated Feb. 21, 2003, which is odd since he’s been abroad since a one-day appearance in the U.S. on Nov. 23, 2005. Otherwise, Mesereau would only have seen Jackson in person at his own deposition in London last September at the Dorchester Hotel. Ever heard of FedEx. Lawyers commonly overnight documents to clients, they sign it and put it back in the little pouch that the FedEx man takes back.

Judge Marcia Cooke An alleged terrorist has been shown more legal courtesy and dignity than me by Judge Marcia Cooke, who I wrote about in the last Sound Off Column (the judge presiding over the Copyright Infringement and Human Rights violation lawsuit I filed that's on appeal). Unbelievable. Judge Marcia Cooke throws out a case, with the center defendant being from her alma mater, citing a legally deficient premise, and not reading the 300 plus pages of evidence, including banking evidence showing identity theft that occurred originating with the Defendants via hacking, and is calling the government "inflexible" in the Padilla case. You do realize that throwing out a case without reading the evidence, based on your presumption that pop stars don’t break the law, is a violation of the Judicial Cannons and grounds for impeachment. I have the documents stating when she got the case (that's now on appeal), and when she dismissed it, and it is not the human norm for a person, let alone a judge with other cases, to read over 500 pages of documents and review several compact discs of additional comparative data evidence showing guilt, in less than two working days, while managing other cases like Padilla, and several others. A dead giveaway that she didn't read it. I'm sure that's what the forefathers of this country envisioned when they structured the nation - hasty, rude, smug federally appointed judges that don't look at evidence and throw out serious human rights cases without reading the evidence, in favor of rulings that state on paper that pop stars don't break the law (especially ones that come from said judge's alma mater). It was written she said the Defendant, alleged terrorist Jose Padilla, "had always been respectful" therefore he should have all his rights. Oh I get it, when the media is present in a Court room, that's when people are all of a sudden entitled to their rights with her presiding as judge. From the Miami Herald: ''No one is to be handcuffed in court. I don't want to run a prison" "At some point, people have to be able to write, take notes" - Marcia Cooke
Stone Slams Madonna
Director Oliver Stone “Stone Slams Madonna's Evita Performance -Controversial film-maker OLIVER STONE has dismissed MADONNA's performance in 1996 musical EVITA as inadequate, because she could only play the historical figure like a "hooker"...The thing about Eva Peron was that she was a hooker and a saint. Madonna could do the hooker but not the saint." – Contact Music You know what this means. She’s gonna call him up and try to get him to retract what he publicly said, and replace it with something nice about her -cough- fragile, lunatic ego, to the press, for her publicists to fax in their weekly round of PR stories, to send to publications who don’t care about real news, opting to write articles on the idiocies of daily celebrity life. You know, anything to keep her name in the papers, when the public has grown tired of her, evidenced by postings all over the internet. It’s amazing, the Paris Hilton libel case regarding a fabricated, defaming item that was deliberately placed in the the New York Post (Page Six), and a recently placed Madonna/Liz Rosenberg item in said paper (Page Six again) reveal the Post will print anything a celebrity and or their publicist tells them to - even if it is an item derived from illegally obtained material. “Madonna's Faux Pas” "Madonna's faux pas- New York: Pop superstar Madonna has annoyed some Britons by saying they are "kind of allergic to the idea of god. Newsweek.com reports that others are taking the comment as further evidence that her marriage to Guy Ritchie is in trouble. Madonna denied rumours that she forced her husband to accept Kabbalah and said: "Ritchie studies Kabbalah, but probably not as enthusiastically as I do. He does it in his own way. He is into more of the intellectual side of it than I am. I would say he believes in god. Maybe he always did, but Brits are kind of allergic to the idea of god." "A close Kabbalah watcher said: "Madonna is to the Kabbalah Centre what Tom Cruise is to Scientology, its number one booster and cash contributor." He added, "The scenario goes something like this: if a current or would-be significant other does not demonstrate an interest in the group and its teachings, committed students have been warned that this may mean that they are not 'spiritually right' or a 'good match' for them." - Contact Music “Allergic to the idea of god” is either ignorance or wishful thinking on her part. Maybe in the small celebrity set she moves with, as celebrities think they are god, but census facts show there are many Christians in Britain. Here are the numbers for the United Kingdom: With a population of 58,091,000 the breakdown is as follows: Anglican - 27 million Therefore, in the United Kingdom that’s 27 million Anglicans + 9 Million Roman Catholics + 800,000 Presbyterians + 760,000 Methodists which = 37,560,000 million Christians. That means Christians comprise 65% of the United Kingdom’s population. Therefore, next time crack open a book before you crack open your big mouth. Then you won’t have to take your foot out of it so often. For the likes of culturally ignorant Madonna, that’s where that “God Save The Queen” thing comes from. God Save the Queen and God bless the United Kingdom. "Act your age, Madge" From the London Times: “ My son, for example, is 13, and finds her bewildering. I was watching him watching her contortions on MTV recently and asked what he thought. “She’s old, isn’t she,” was the unflattering reply.” And in a related story... Can you say, hernia? “ Has Madonna gyrated her way to a hernia?” - Daily Mail “Madonna gyrates to a hernia. With all those limb-twisting gyrations - and at the age of 47 - some might say it was an injury waiting to happen…when she was discharged a few hours later, she was 'pale and had no appetite'. British hernia specialists say patients should feel fine within hours of the operation…she went to the Kaballah Centre in Los Angeles…She didn't eat anything and did not lead the prayers after dinner, as she usually does when she comes…she was unusually quiet.' - this is London “LOS ANGELES - Madonna may have gyrated like a 20-year-old at the Grammy Awards, but her body felt the brunt of it later. Following last week's high-octane performance, Madonna had hernia surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.” - San Jose Mercury News Could there be something else wrong. Considering her appearance of late, it would be natural to think that. Well, one thing’s for sure, between the horse throwing her, rumors of her husband cheating on her, a supermodel that makes Madonna look like puppy chow hitting on him publicly in papers, the lackluster under performing album, getting upstaged at the Grammys by Mariah winning 3 awards and delivering a great performance and the hernia, at least the Kabbalah red string to ward off evil and trouble is working, right (not!). Can you say refund. "MADONNA needs to stop exercising so much and twisting herself into contortions. The 47-year-old mother-of-two went from the Grammys to Cedars Sinai hospital in L.A. last week for hernia surgery, sources say. Afterward, she appeared "pale and had no appetite." At the L.A. Kabbalah Center Friday night, spies said Madge "didn't eat anything...and did not lead the prayer after dinner, as she usually does when she comes. She was unusually quiet." Worse, hubby Guy Ritchie was not at her side. A rep for Madonna said, "I have no information." – NY Post Public Feedback on the internet:

3. She does a three minute act when she opens the fridge door and the light comes on. She's going through the 'look at me. I can still move at 47 phase' or a 'mid-life crisis' as we mere mortals call it.- Martyn James Fraser, Liverpool 4. Yes Madonna is great, but I think she is overdoing it. Women should have a little bit of flesh in their body. At her age, she should take things easy as the side effect of persistent exercise could lead to unexpected damage to her wellbeing.- Mary Agbaje, London, UK 5. Let's face it, she is not 30 anymore, if that was my mother I would deny who she was, unluckily for her children they can't do that. Yes she is a great singer but she needs to realise that she's nearly 50 and it is so not a good look for someone of her age to do what she is doing, she's had a great life she should now take it easy, she will always no doubt be queen of pop but enough is enough.- Kaz, Essex 6. I go to yoga class and lots of people in their 40's and 50's are wrapping thier legs behind their neck like Madonna I dont know what all the full is about.

5. Madonna ripped off a TV commercial for her song "Sky Fits Heaven" which is on her "Ray of Light" album. This is the same album she was sued for willfully stealing the song "Frozen" from a unknown Belgian songwriter and for separately ripping off the video for "Ray of Light" from a director, which brought another lawsuit against her. Well, the album contained more rip offs (as do all her albums). From E- Those with a keen recollection of television advertising will notice the introductory lyrics to the 1998 song "Sky Fits Heaven"--credited on Ray of Light to Madonna and longtime collaborator Patrick Leonard--are similar to what poet Max Blagg recited for a 1993 Gap clothing commercial. Here, look for yourself: Madonna's song: Max Blagg's poem: Meanwhile, the New York Daily News ran a story about the matter Thursday, reportedly getting Madonna's record-label publicist at Warner Bros. to admit the singer paid Blagg in lieu of reprinting the album's liner notes and crediting him. How pathetic, she ripped off the poetry from a Gap commercial - then paid the poet off to get him to shut up about it. What is that, like the 50th rip off. Every single album she has put out has contained copyright infringing material. She is a fraud. Unequivocally the most unoriginal, uncreative person ever in the industry. 6.
Coincidentally, she did an interview with an
Hungarian paper, and due to the translation, the name of the book was fittingly BLIKK: OK, here's a question from left space.
What was your book "Slut" about? 7. From E - "Madonna ripped off the idea [of charging her coworkers for swearing] from Loretta Young's TV show way back in the '50s. Supposedly, Robert Mitchum was a guest star one week and got tired of putting in a quarter each time he swore, so he reportedly said: "Here's 20 bucks, Loretta, now *** off!" There is nothing original about this woman. She watches other people’s works, makes minor alterations, and lies to the public that it is hers. Madonna Maybe Sued For Trademark Infringement In Stealing Semtex® Name Never one to come up with anything original, Madonna boasted this week that she registered a name called "Semtex Girls." Never mind it is already the trademark name for a dangerous plastic explosive used by terrorists - and considering she was bragging about being worst than a terrorist - coupled with the fact she is a member of a sick cult, is there something people need to know. Cult members + terrorism + Semtex = trouble. "Prague - The Czech manufacturer of the plastic explosive Semtex may sue pop star Madonna for trademark infringement, a company spokesman told the CTK news agency Tuesday. According to British news reports, the US singer recently started a London-based company called Semtex Girls Ltd. But Semtex is the trademark name owned by Explosia, a maker of industrial and demolition explosives. Company spokesman Ladislav Lehky said Madonna does not have permission to use the name, which he said is worth 130 million koruna (5.4 million dollars). He said Explosia would 'take the relevant steps because the trademark is protected.' In an interview with ABC-TV last autumn, Madonna said she has three assistants whom she calls 'Semtex Girls.' But the purpose of her new company reportedly remains a mystery. Semtex is an infamous terrorist weapon. It was used by the Irish Republican Army and in the bombing of a Pan Am passenger jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988. The Czech beverage maker sells a power drink named Semtex with Explosia's permission. - Monsters and Critics. It should be noted that 1.) she was sued in Miami for trademark infringement before by a comapny 2.) she is a lunatic 3.) cult members and Semtex are not a good mix.

Madonna has contributed, albeit in an embarrassing way, to a potential change in the way the industry does business in Britain: Britain's Musicians Union is appealing to singers and promoters to come clean about whether they are lip-synching when they perform. The union has recommended a lip-synching logo be flashed up on the screen when performers are singing on television and also for tickets and concert posters to reveal whether the show is performed live or not. The union launched its campaign Feb. 2 on BBC TV's The Culture Show, whose audience voted 71 per cent in favour of the union's stance. The issue came to a head in 2004 when Elton John made disparaging remarks about Madonna's shows, saying she cheated her fans by miming her songs. John made the comment while collecting a songwriting award: "Anyone who lip-synchs in public on stage when you pay 75 pounds to see them should be shot." – CBC February 3, 2006 Madonna Nicknamed "The Corpse" By Music Fans Younger music audiences wouldn't call her these names if she acted in a manner befitting her age.

the Grammys to another venue where she will be interviewed by Ellen DeGeneres in
front of a limited audience at 5:15pm. Ellen herself will then be escorted to
the Grammys in time to introduce Paul McCartney onstage at 6:00pm. . . . Good
excuse too avoid the humiliation of seeing and dealing with the triumph of Queen
Mariah! 5. Yes, because
Madonna want's to perform and leave before Mariah wins everything! by

7. Boy, first hanging
from disco balls in purple plastic outfits and now an old hag pushing 50 doing
"Pimp My Ride"? Can she make anymore of a fool of herself?? I cannot wait for
the corpse to make a fool of herself with the video. Sounds by RPL on Wednesday,

8. Oh, I just saw the
video and it's amazing! First Madonna rolls out of a club in her electric wheel
chair. Then, she rolls in her wheel chair to her van (the one Pimp My Ride made
for her) and is lifted into it with the lift they put on it. And then she
arrives at a roller skating rink and the corpse spins her wheel chair around in
circles and even bounces her wheel chair up and down! haha...can't wait to see
how the corpse puts on a freak show by aurora_borealis on Wednesday, February 08

9. another pathetic
attempt at being young. too bad the corpse will never realize she can never be
back to her glory day, just flops and horrendous videos now. es, and once again,
her pathetic attempt will be futile, so sorry for the hag by aurora_borealis on

10. I hope the corpse
Hagdonna doesn't start off the show with a leotard with her ***checks hanging
out, pale as a corpse, saggy from being used, singing Eurotrash that is copied
from the likes of Kylie Minogue. They don't need everyone vomiting in their rows
at the start of the most important night in music (which corpse fans say it
doesn't matter), the Grammy's.
Edgar Bronfman jr. CEO of Warner "we steal" Music. Edgar Bronfman jr - The profit eliminator. The employee firer. The budget killer. The music stealer. The Business Online web site referred to him as “Hollywood mogul wannabe Edgar Bronfman Jr.” An article on the Washington Post's Slate web site titled "Overrated father, misunderstood son" wrote of his tenure at Seagram's and Universal as as: "Edgar Bronfman Jr. (Youthful Folly), meanwhile, has been busy running Seagram--the Bronfman-managed liquor conglomerate--into the ground. Three years ago, he liquidated Seagram's $9 billion stake in DuPont to buy the entertainment giant MCA (now Universal). April has been a horrific month for Universal. Three of its top executives were sacked last week. It has released flop after flop. DuPont stock, on the other hand, has more than doubled in value since Edgar Jr. sold Seagram's DuPont interest: This has cost Seagram's shareholders more than $9 billion.)" Fast forward a few years to his current tenure at Warner Music and it's the same thing once again - people getting fired by the truckload, shady business deals and flop after flop after flop. A few current news clippings: 1. "REIF COHEN GIVES WMG GRIEF: Warner Music took some hits yesterday from Wall Street analysts after posting Q1 results that were spun every which way in the media…" "The assessment of Jessica Reif Cohen was more damning still. The Merrill Lynch media guru reiterated her “sell” rating, assessing the valuation as “stretched.” “Given significant uncertainties regarding future growth,” Reif Cohen wrote, “the possibility WMG is experiencing peak margins and potential underinvestment in new artists, the stock should trade at a significant discount to diversified media, in our view.” (2/15a) – Hits Daily Double 2. "ELIOT ON EDGAR'S BACK: WMG also revealed this morning that it received another subpoena from NY Attorney General Eliot Spitzer as part of his ongoing probe into download pricing." (2/14a) – Hits Daily 3. "Warner Music hits a flat note - Shares in the group fell 1.8 per cent in New York to $US20.43, after news that underlying revenues were flat in the three months to December 31, and fell 4 per cent to $US1.04 billion ($1.4 billion) after the impact of currency translation." – The Australian News 4. "Warner music quarterly revenues miss - "If you're bullish on WarnerMusic you'll be pleased about the profits and digital sales. But the bears are winning out after the company missed analyst revenue expectations," said Banc of America analyst Eric Handler. Warner Music's shares were down 41 cents, or 2 per cent, at $US20.39 in afternoon trade on the New York Stock Exchange." - Stuff 5. "Warner Music Group Corp.'s earnings surged | ||||||||||
