I had such high hopes
Fresh green grass and crystal dreams
Who gets the boobies?

Today's Star Sighting
As Dish was exiting Camper on Prince Street, Catalina Sandino Moreno was entering with innocuous dude. She wore a hoodie and dark blue denim jeans. No eye contact and she should be thankful since we would have shown her the totally funkola boots we just got. And asked her if she really had to swallow and poop bags of heroin in Maria Full of Grace. Gross!
Good Morning, Star Shine
We started reading Shine, Star Jones Reynold’s self improvement testimony and her tips on how to be your best and shine. Mostly, we wanted to snicker, but then realized twenty pages in that this desire wasn’t exactly woman-empowering. She may have annoyed people, married a gay man, or whatever, but she has had quite a life. Why do we have to like or hate these people? Dish doesn’t think Star is harming the planet, so we wish her well on her personal journey.
Who knows what these celebs do? The fact could be that they aren’t as interesting as their PR machines would like us to think. Tons of people file for divorce, have babies or lavish weddings, deliver racial slurs, marry the obviously wrong mate, get fat, get skinny, cheat, follow crazy religions and exude nothingness. I’m sure if we were famous, our romantic woes, spirituality or eating habits would hold no end of fascination. But for now it makes our friends’ and family’s eyes glaze over, n'est-ce pas?

Whores Rule: Reason #1 why Queer As Folk, Sex and the City and The L Word are the same show
Dish's favorite characters on Queer As Folk, Sex and the City and The L Word are the whores of the show. They are outlandish, always speak the truth and don't care what others think. Eventually, they see the light of monogamy (well, except for Shane at the end of Season #3) but until then, they have the most fun.
On Sex and the City, Kim Catrall's Samantha dazzled us with the swing, "funky spunk", a brief affair with Sonia Braga, time with a modelizer and countless delivery men. She threw water on loud trannies, lied her way into an exclusive club and was the only character who really lived up to the show's title. Then they gave her breast cancer, but by then, she'd settled with the hot younger guy.
Gale Harold filled the role of Brian Kinney on Queer As Folk. He filled counless other roles, over and over again in his beautiful Pittsburg loft. With the ever-present condom in hand, he was the show's staunchest advocate for safe sex. And he wore the best clothes. They gave him testicular cancer, too, and then syphillis as extra punishment for his wicked ways. In the last season, he finally says, "I love you" to his much younger sort-of boyfriend, but only after a bomb went off that almost killed the little tyke. Still, it was intense.
Lastly and not leastly, is the butch Shane of The L Word played by Katherine Moennig. Any man or woman should find her sexy as she struts, wears interesting hairstyles and lures sweet naked young things into posh California pools. She wound up in a monogamous relationship with a feisty Mexican but left her at the altar because "that's just who she was." You can't tie a person like Shane down. Well, you can but eventually she'll leave you. Stay tuned for what happens in Season 4. I kinda hope she goes back to Roseanna Arquette. We like it when Roseanna gets work.
Next up is Reason #2 for why these three shows are the same: There's Always an Uptight One--Charlotte, Dana and Ted.

Shocking Shoplifting
The following masked bandit made his way through Petco, shoveling large amounts of beef jerky into his Gucci bag. When led away in cuffs, the thief asked the press to keep his identity a secret as long as possible, at least until trial date. But we did get this photo.

Star Sighting
Yesterday, we were on our way to see Daniel Craig in Casino Royale--stepfather unwilling accomplice--and saw Sam Mendes on 8th Avenue, between 22nd and 23rd. We witnessed proof of his existence years ago post-American Beauty and pre-marriage to Kate Winslet and forgot to write down the details. Luckily, we didn't gawk this time. Besides, we're prettier.
