Hollywood is shocked that Lauren Hutton is criticizing how Sex and the City portrayed women. She said:
“It’s written by guys, who happen to be gay, who are sluts. That’s what I think.
“Let’s face it most men are sluts. That’s what testosterone is supposed to do. As a hunter, if you stayed alive after 30, nature wanted your genes out there. Women were just trying to get the best sperm to make a masterpiece.
“You have a bunch a guys who are sluts, writing for women and telling them they are supposed to act like this.”
Hutton’s remarks reminded me of an article that Ann Coulter wrote for George Magazine when Sex and the City first aired. The article is available in her book, How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must). Coulter wrote:
Do you actually know girls who talk about sex using the d-word and c-word to describe specific body parts? No you don’t. You know gay men who do… Girls talking the way the do on Sex and the City is about as realistic as George Bush playing a gangsta rapper, talking about “ho’s’ and bitches.”
I enjoy the show and I’ll eventually see the movie. I’ve always that it was remarkable that after several years of watching the Sex and the City characters (or “three hookers and their mom”) through their failed hook-ups and relationships, in the end they all became happy once they got the guy and settled down into more traditional roles. Even gay writers want their fairy tale ending.
(Kudos to me for not making the obvious “fairy” joke!)

Via TMZ:
TMZ has learned that Duane “Dog” Chapman will be back in business and back on the air on A&E. Woof!
A network official confirms to TMZ that the show is going back into production, but they’ve not yet set a premiere date. As of now, they’re gearing up — big time — in Hawaii and production will begin ASAP. Makeup artists and camera crews have been hired, and houses and cars have been rented, all for the return of the show.
A&E had suspended production on “Dog the Bounty Hunter” indefinitely after a recording surfaced featuring Chapman making racial slurs. Chapman immediately began a tour of forgiveness, working with CORE and other groups to promote racial equality. We’re told network execs were “very pleased” with Dog’s attempt to make amends and his reaching out to members of the African American community.
A&E isn’t just making this decision out of the goodness of their hearts either. The show was insanely popular for the network, here and internationally — airing in over 20 countries.
Gratuitous picture of LOTUS and Dog at the CORE Dinner:

I was just flipping around and all of the 24-hour news stations seem to be focused on Britney Spears. So, I just thought I’d take this opportunity to tell everyone that this is a Britney-Free Zone.
K, thanks.

This woman (I refuse to call her a mother) gave her sister $80 so she could take her 12-year-old son to see a prostitute. But the money was only to see the prostitute’s breasts, not for the entire meal. It gets better… the prostitute denies sex happened because she was in the house smoking crack. Judging by the video of the alleged prostitute, she’s also guilty of price gouging.
(PS — I can’t figure out how to embed a video. I’m a lover, not a blogger.)
