Dick Cavett on Sarah Palin

Perennial favorite, Dick Cavett, makes some striking observations about Alaska's attention seeking whore come Governor...
Excerpt:
Now something has gone wrong with all three television sets. They will only get Sarah Palin.
I can play a kind of Alaskan roulette. Any random channel clicked on by the remote brings up that eager face, with its continuing assaults on the English Lang.
There she is with Larry and Matt and just about everyone else but Dr. Phil (so far). If she is not yet on “Judge Judy,” I suspect it can’t be for lack of trying.
What have we done to deserve this, this media blitz that the astute Andrea Mitchell has labeled “The Victory Tour”?

The Daily Britney Roundup +

As usual, there's a 'possum trough full of Britney stories, so let's just round 'em up in one quick white trash post; it's less painful that way.

It was reported that Brit was looking to sue the photographer that sold pictures of her and the boys to OK! Magazine for a reported $1 million; Brit's camp claims the photographer, Dani Brubaker, did not have the right to make them public. MSNBC's The Scoop claims this ain't so. Apparently, Britney was in on it. A source told them that Britney loves it and doesn't plan to sue. “She’s a savvy fox. The week she loses her kids, these pictures that were taken months ago suddenly show up. It’s brilliant. She knew what was going to happen (with that custody hearing) and how she’d fight back.”

Britney is also hosting a party next month in Beverly Hills. She will host the Scandinavian Style Mansion reports People magazine. The guy that founded the event confirmed that Britney will be doing it. He said, "I am beyond excited because the experience she gave everyone in December was amazing. She absolutely made my event."

Dr. Phil has apologized for making any statements about Brit Brit. He said, "Was it helpful to the situation? Regrettably, no; it was not and I have to acknowledge that. I definitely think if I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't make any statement at all. Period."

Finally: Brit's assistant, Carla, has been sent packing and apparently looking to tell-all. Carla was there during the breakdown and through a lot of juicy moments.

Whoo Hoo! Something to read after I re-read and re-re-read Andrew Morton's Tom Cruise Bio...(Pauly Shore should totally play Tom Cruise in the fictional movie account of the biography).
