insert “where no man has gone before” joke here

HeyDidYaKnow Star Trek Space Sailor George Takai is no longer Sulu… i mean solo.  Sorry fetishists.  He has married his longtime partner of 21 years Brad Altman at the Japanese American National Museum by a Buddhist priest.  In more pressing news, the European Stock exchanges have fallen more than 4% with the news that Lehman Brothers filed chapter 11 Bankruptcy before the American markets even opened, which are expected to fare even worse.  The Lehman Brothers, one of the five (that’s right, just five) Investment Banks in the US had over $640 Billion worth of assets.  Merril Lynch is also having it’s own troubles, and soon might be bought out by Bank of America.

would it be redundant here to say black is slimming?

HeyDidYaKnow that everybody’s favorite (VERY) little celebu-vamps, the Olsen Twins, are inciting complaints from their neighbors.  It sounds like their hard partying ways are not making them any friends.  Their neighbors are referring to them as “disruptive, intrusive, and totally disrespectful.”   And for a little lighter fare from the film world, some movie trivia: the top 5 highest grossing “G” rated movies of all time are owned by Disney; Finding Nemo, The Lion King, Monsters Inc, Toy Story 2, Cars.

HeyDIdYaKnow everybody’s favorite blue collar “drunk sweat” comedian, Ron White, has been arrested for Marijuana possession.  I wonder what he craves when he gets the munchies… ‘tater salad?  In honor of the ‘”tater salad”, here are some Marijuana statistics: it is the largest cash crop in California; 75% of drug related criminal charges are related to Marijuana; 69 Million Americans over the age of 12 have tried Marijuana at least once.

HeyDidYaKnow fade-sportin’ “fad” boy from ’90s pop group Color Me Badd, Bryan Adams (no, not the Canadian, the Oklahomo), has apparently misunderstands the phrase “fighting your way back into the limelight”.  He was recently arrested for striking a woman in a restaurant in Oklahoma; witnesses noted he also screamed “I’m a kill you”.  Seriously.  “I’m a kill you”.  In fact, this is just one case of a terrible trend across America.  What’s truly frightening is that 1 out of every 4 women in America will be/have been the recipient of domestic abuse.

obviously not the only thing daddy’s money has put in her mouth…

HeyDidYaKnow Brooke Hogan has been sharing her keen political insight with the world AGAIN!  We thought it couldn’t get worse after her first comment.  But it only gets worse this time, dropping some jewels on us like: “Who’s that?” when asked what she thought of Sarah Palin.  “I’m voting for God because he’s in the party of freedom, dude”. Wow.  It’s a shame that steroids don’t cause sterility… sigh.  But Brooke Hogan isn’t the only one that doesn’t know what’s going on in the world.  Heard that the government has been pressed to take over Fanne and Freddie Mae Mortgage giants?  A wholly unprecedented move in scale in America.  However, what is most shocking is how China is involved.  They have $24 BILLION invested in the mortgage giants.  That means that the Chinese Government owns a significant portion of our national debt.  Now that’s scary.

HeyDidYaKnow that 80’s teen (pseudo)icon, Mackenzie Phillips, just checked herself into rehab… One Day At A Time (sorry, but we had to).  This comes after one week after she was arrested in an airport for posession of heroine.  Speaking of drugs, last year over 1,377 lbs of heroine was confiscated by the DEA.  Click on the reference link to see the other crazy drug statistics.

HeyDidYaKnow smart, sassy, sophisticated sex-aholic David Duchovny recently checked himself into Sex Rehab.  Looks like the ole’ Red Shoe Diaries star believes in method acting.   And in international news, US Pakistan relations are tensing as their impending election inches nearer.  After an attack on Pakistan/Afghan border villages, which are well known terrorist havens, some civilians were killed in the action and the Pakistan government is blaming US and Nato forces; both are denying involvement.  Not sexy at all.

Update: Hey Did Ya Know that apparently there is no word our li’l Duch-ovney wasn’t participating in any infidelity.  The guy just loved him some porn… spank you very much.

HeyDidYaKnow the definition of a stereotype is either: a) a plate cast from a printing surface OR; b) something conforming to a fixed or general pattern; especially : a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment.

Update: Hey DId Ya Know there are two celebrities we are going to pay special attention to, Eddie Murphy because he is singlehandedly destroying his legacy and Heidi Montag because we should have never known who this woman is in the first place. Now be sure to tell us what you think of her new music video Overdosin’. And no, we didn’t fake this video like we did this pic, this is actually her being a serious artist.

Update II:  Now, this fabulous hack has an even newer single out, listen, but do so carefully as there is a chance while her siren song blares your house will be surrouned by a pack of horny wolves… click here to check it out.
