A Quick Sunday Gossip Session Since Political Animals Is On!

Dish has her priorities: Sigourney Weaver, but I'll mention today's highlights:

Ex-porn star Jenna Jameson supports Mitt Romney. Hmmmm. And she drove her car into a telephone pole recently. Coincidence? Oh well, life would be dull if everyone thought the way you did. I'm related to someone in the Tea Party and I love him to pieces.

Kristen Stewart is supposedly bereft over losing Robert Pattinson. Dish can't take this broken romance seriously. They are so young! When I got dumped by the French waiter, I didn't shower for days either. Um. Maybe that's why he dumped me (by not calling but I kept showing up at the bar and he kept taking my money then slept with my friend but I'm not bitter).

People is so right about Matthew Perry, that he shouldn't do comedy anymore. He is positively EXCELLENT on The Good Wife and it's time for him to transition to drama. MP is a talent. I want him to succeed. He will succeed in TV drama and then...when he turns 50, he will shock the world by doing an amazing film. I see it.

Radaronline reports that Brigitte Nielsen got drunk and passed out in an L.A. park. We've all been there, haven't we, Dishreaders? I don't know why this Brigitte downward spiral saddens me, maybe because we share birthday, maybe because I enjoyed her freakish connection to Flavor Flav on The Surreal Life and her European air. She was a great beauty and I hope she picks herself up and moves on.

Natalie Portman is married. I don't care. My Black Swan love for her is over. Over, you hear me? I'm back to being jealous hating her. What does she do that's so great? Everything

I'm also over Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte and his bitchy way of stealing medals from our favorite doobie smoker Michael Phelps. Plus, Lochte's mom basically called her son a man-whore and he himself admitted he liked Blake Lively. I'm really bored. Team Gabby Douglas all the way.

Scandal Is the New Smash!

I have another guilty pleasure, along with crappy Smash. I never intended to watch Scandal since Shonda Rhimes creation Grey Anatomy bores me with its implausible plots. Scandal is even worse! Kerry Washington plays this crabby situation fixer who trusts her gut and banters with her crew like an Aaron Sorkin script. She's all about the riot act. Oh and one more thing, she has this tormented relaysh with THE FREAKING PRESIDENT!!! Everyone's heard of Olivia because she's so kickass, though has no fun in her personality, which makes her kinda one-note. You can tell she's good at her job because her delivery is so deadpan. I wish I could stop watching it. I just can't get enough of White House scandals and Tony Goldwyn is well-cast, though reminds me of prep school headmaster.

Then I caught up with The Good Wife and it seems Matthew Perry will be on for a while. Alan Cumming let his gelled shock of dark hair fall boyishly over his face while in bed with Parker Posey. Adorbs!

A source came forward to tell me that Person of Interest films in a certain hood often and they always leave behind the biggest pile of sh*t behind. My source has complained with the city. Other shows are so much cleaner and respectful.

A Really Long Weekend...

It's been a rough couple of days due to what I thought might be strep but what could be the common cold. Instead of getting rest, Dish hasn't been able to sleep. So what else is new?

What does one due during the ill moments? Pick up Jennifer Egan's Look at Me, love it and since it's too literary to keep my attention for more than five minutes, I turn back to TV!

What's on my mind: NJ Governor Christie just vetoed the gay marriage bill, making him incredibly behind the times. Doesn't he realize how powerful the gay community is? You don't want to mess with women either. The birth control issue is coming around at a perfect time and Obama puts himself more firmly on the side of women (though I'd still choose Hillary!) than the Republicans. This race is his to lose.

Yesterday I attended Whitney Houston's funeral via TMZ. It was lovely, both happy and somber, with a chill-inducing choir to bring her home. The big controversy occurred when Bobby Brown's entourage was turned away and he left. This is frustrating on both sides. Why can't an obviously grieving man honor his ex-wife? And on the other hand, why the hell couldn't he show up by himself?

Because illness forced me into research, I looked up the reality show Bobby and Whitney did. It was called Being Bobby Brown, when Whitney was always the bigger star. Says a lot.

Let me end on a nice note: Matthew Perry will join the cast of The Good Wife. Thank goodness. I've been very bored by this season. Will and Alicia together put me to sleep.

Everyone Is Eating...

...and no one is being a crazy trainwreck. Dish and Chandler Bing share very similar feelings re: Thanksgiving, though today, on this day of delicious turkey slaughter when I mostly care about the stuffing, I feel lucky for having such a wonderful family, especially the Dishmama who cooked us a fabulous meal. She is a goddess.
