If you like jokes about gays, Asians, Project Runway and lots and lots of sex then you would have had a blast with us seeing Margaret Cho in Chicago this weekend. She’s not coming to too many more places but we highly encourage you to go see her if she’s coming anywhere remotely near you (we’re talking to you Anchorage!). We were slightly hesitant to see her this time around, as her last outing, Assassin was a bit political and preachy. But we’re happy to report that girl is back to her old form and is quite possibly dirtier than ever.

We really can’t repeat most of her jokes here….well we could but we’d probably butcher them and make them a lot less funny (plus Lori’s mom reads this site sometimes - Hi Jane!). In lieu of that we take no responsibility for things we find on you tube. And hmm, hmm, what’s this? Oh it just happens to be a little song Cho ended the show with. Enjoy!

Scrabulous on Facebook!

I wonder if Kate Winslet is on Facebook and if she’d consider a game of Scrabulous with me?

Some of you may know that your Trash Talkers also used to write a blog called Watching 30 Rock about our favorite TV show and our favorite TV actress and writer, Tina Fey. We had to give that blog up, but that doesn’t mean we don’t care about that news anymore. And so when we saw this info on E! we got really excited:

Dreams really do come true, and don’t let anyone tell you differently!

Just two weeks ago, while discussing some dream casting options for her NBC comedy 30 Rock, Tina Fey told reporters, “I still want Oprah to play my best friend…and I don’t know what I need to do to make that happen.”

Well, as of today, it might happen. Chicagoland sources who were at the taping of The Oprah Show starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for Baby Mama just wrote in to tell us this fantastic news:

According to members of the live audience, during a commercial break, Oprah said she had heard Tina wanted to be her best friend and asked whether Tina meant in real life or on the show. When Tina said “both!” Oprah said, “Have your people call my people.”

Oprah then said that she was “definitely interested” and would love to appear on the show, to which Tina gestured to the people in the audience, to the effect of “You heard it!”

Personally I think Oprah would make an excellent guest star on 30 Rock. She did so on the famous “Puppy Episode” of Ellen DeGeneres’ sitcom, playing Ellen’s therapist when she came out. And if she played Liz Lemon’s (Tina Fey’s character) that would be really cool. And if she played Liz’s best friend Oprah Winfrey then that would be freakin’ awesome. Go for it, Oprah!

At Trashy Celebs we’re not all about gossip, we love ourselves some baseball as well. While our two home teams (the Orioles and Cardinals) may suck big time this year, we were still excited to watch MLB’s opening night on ESPN yesterday. I was even more proud of my old city when the fans audibly booed President George Bush as he took the field to throw out the first pitch. (It starts at about thirty seconds in). Go Nationals!

I don’t watch The Bad Girls Club on Oxygen, but after seeing this I might have to start. This. is. brilliant.

Made of Awesome!

So the Trash Talkers have not yet had the chance to watch this years Grammy broadcast (safely stored in the DVR for now) because we had tickets last night to see the Queen of Trash Talk, Kathy Griffin.

The show was fabulous, and not only did we laugh our trash talkin’ asses off, we also got to see a couple of drunk girls tossed out of the show for trying to out trash talk Kathy F’n Griffin. Nice try stupid drunk girls. Also, the pre-show warm up music featured songs by Clay Aiken, Paul Abdul, and Britney Spears, so we knew exactly who she was probably going to talk about during her show. (And she did not let us down, comparing a certain over exposed part of Britney Spears’ anatomy with a chow tongue. Yes, she went there.) In fact, it is now my dream to someday have Kathy Griffin guest write a post for this blog. I’m not delusional, I know it will never happen, but even a Trash Talkin’ girl has dreams!

But I have to say, I wonder if even Kathy Griffin would go here:

I mean, oh my! Oh my! What happened to Aretha Franklin? What happened? Why doesn’t anybody do anything? Because, frankly, I am worried about her. She is freaking brilliant, she has a voice like nobody’s business and she can sing anything. I still remember when she performed “Nessun Dorma” at the 1998 Grammy Awards show; it totally gave me chills.

And now I am afraid all I can see is an unhealthy Aretha wearing a very ill-advised bright yellow dress with spaghetti straps. I mean, look at the picture. I’m afraid Cyndi Lauper is going to fall face first into Aretha’s chest and not be found for days. Days, people! Even with that warning flare of a hairstyle! I feel really bad even saying anything at all about it …. like I am going to end up in R&B Hell listening to Peabo Bryson or Jodeci forever. So, okay, I am not making fun of Aretha Franklin. I won’t do it. But I am worried about her … and I do think she should fire her damn stylist.

First up Whaa!
Thanks Dr. King for being a brilliant, fearless purveyor of what’s right and just because we needed the day off yesterday to recoup from a ridiculously disappointing Sunday of football. But we should have seen this coming years ago. The all-knowing soothsayer, Eddie Murphy did try and warn us of Brett Favre and the Packer’s inevitable loss in his 1988 film Coming to America. Yes Prince Akeem of Zamunda told us what time it was and no one had even asked.

I don’t remember doing it but I must have spent a good deal of my childhood watching this movie because I swear I can quote it more than Some Kind of Wonderful and Dirty Dancing combined.

Back to topic at hand, unfortunately Eddie “Donkey” Murphy did have the gift of future predictions when it came to his recent marriage to Tracey Edmonds. The couple split just two weeks after their non-legally binding wedding ceremony in Bora Bora. People Magazine quotes a source as saying that Eddie was chewing Tracey out at their wedding in front of guests and that it was embarrassing for everyone to witness. “Eddie’s mother felt Tracey was a gold digger, (but she ain’t messing with no broke, broke) says the friend - and Tracey’s mother felt Eddie wasn’t “good enough” for her daughter.”

Also quoteth People, “The mothers didn’t even want to sit next to each other - even to eat - and it led to both sides of the family squaring off.” Oh, that’s harsh. Lori and I have it easy because not only were our moms in a dance troupe together, we can’t get legally married! Wha-whaaaaa.

Now onto a quick Opps

It’s sad when young actors pass away. It’s even sadder when E! News spells a young actor’s name wrong who’s passed away. Good Job E!

If there’s one thing we don’t talk enough about on Trashy Celebs it’s music. No, I’m not talking about the actions of musicians like when Britney drops her kids on cement while shotgunning a beer and showing her cooter, I’m talking about actual music. Take Tori Amos for instance. I’ve been a Tori fan since freshman year of college. She’s kind of a hometown girl makes good since she’s kind of from Baltimore…Ok, Silver Spring, MD but she did live in Baltimore for awhile. And you must admit she is super hot.

Well maybe not so much during that Y Kant Tori Read fiasco

but after she realized she wasn’t in a Whitesnake video, babe-city. I even remember wanting to be the piano stool she gyrates on while playing the piano years before I realized I was gay…ok, I was pretty sure I was gay at that point but it sounds better the other way.

Anyway, I wasn’t into her past couple efforts the way I was into an Under the Pink or Little Earthquakes but I have heard some of her new album American Doll Posse and I really dig it. I’ll let this serve as a reminder to myself to buy that off of iTunes.

And Tori is still fierce and crazy. Check out this youtube video from her San Diego concert a couple nights ago. The best part comes at around 2:25 when she goes apeshit on a couple of girls in the front row. Apparently they kept getting up during her songs and Ms. Tori was having none of that.

If you don’t want to watch the video she actually stops in the middle of her song Code Red looks at the girls and says “Get the fuck out of my show! It’s a privilege to sit in the front row and I reserve those seats for people who appreciate music, get the fuck out!” You go Tori! I’m guessing you’ve lost a couple of fans but you don’t want those types anyway.

Since there’s just not a whole lot going on in the world of celeb gossip, it’s time for a couple of pimped out videos. First up is a scene from Tuesday’s A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila. If you’re not watching this show you are missing out my friends. Tila Tequila is famous for being famous a’la showing some flesh on myspace thus getting an MTV reality show. On A Shot at Love, contestants battle it out for Tila’s attention. The catch is Tila declared she’s “a bisexual” thus half the contestants are male and half are female. Even from the beginning I spotted two or three actual lesbians on the female team and somehow one of the three finalist is one of said Lesbos.

Anyway on Tuesday’s show, Tila went to visit the remaining contestant’s families and preformed a lap dance for cute and dykey Dani’s grandma. See it and believe it.

My cousin, who is also a fan of bad reality television told me over thanksgiving dinner that she is also a fan of this show. So now I don’t feel so bad watching it since she just got into Phi Beta Kappa national honor society. My tastes are now validated, thanks Tova!

Also in our internet travels of the day we discovered this amazing new video from Snoop Dogg. It’s like the videos for Little Red Corvette and I Ran So Far Away had a gang bang with 1983 and the Japanese chairman of Iron Chef. Hot!

Excuse me, I’m now in the mood to make whoopie so I must be leaving this post prematurely.
