The Metrosexual Tom Sawyer, Andre 3000, hit up Kalologie beauty and skincare shop in Hollyweird recently. TMZ caught the Black Tom Sawyer on video. Click here to watch.

Usher also hits up the same spot for his face cream and beauty products. Don’t Andre 3000 and Usher both look like “face cream” dudes?

Here’s a courtroom shot of 60’s producer Phil Spector, who is currently on trial for murder. I’m really at a loss for words after seeing this. I mean, what jury can take a man seriously who has the feathered and teased white afro with the wispy bang cascading down his forehead? Then he has the nerve to have a combed out sideburn, as if he needed another strand of hair on his head. They oughta give him twenty to life with no hope for parole just for walking in the justice center looking like this!! Go ahead and lock this mad scientist up and throw away all keys! Case dismissed.

Jerry Falwell, the preacher man who corralled the religious right into a force to be reckoned with and founded the Moral Majority, died today after being found unconscious in his office at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He was 73. The university’s executive vice president, Ron Godwin, said Falwell was found unresponsive around 10:45 this morning and taken to Lynchburg General Hospital where “CPR efforts were unsuccessful.” Godwin said he was not sure what caused the collapse, but said Falwell “has a history of heart challenges.” (More at LA Times)

A 12-year-old girl and her grandparents are suing the Chicago Board of Education as well as a substitute teacher and the principal at Ashburn Community Elementary School after the girl was “traumatized” when the teacher screened the movie Brokeback Mountain to her 8th-grade class. “It is very important to me that my children not be exposed to this,” said the girl’s grandpa, whose suit seeks $500,000, claiming his granddaughter required psychological treatment and counseling brought on by seeing the homosexual cowboys. “This was the last straw,” he said. “I feel the lawsuit was necessary because of the warning I had already given them on the literature they were giving out to children to read. I told them it was against our faith.” The teacher, who didn’t have signed permission slips from parents allowing their kids to see the R-rated movie, was said to have closed the classroom door, saying, “What happens in Ms Buford’s class stays in Ms Buford’s class.” Of course, anyone reading about the goings-on at Pure in Las Vegas, knows that catchy axiom is bogus. Frankly, we think the sub didn’t have a lesson plan that day and had just got her NetFlix in the mail that morning and…well, two birds with one stone. (Source)

I don’t watch “The Bachelor” on ABC and haven’t for some time, but I got a pretty juicy e-mail today from a guy who says he works in the media industry and knows bachelor Andy and his best friend “Gatsby.” I guess The Bachelor acts like a general doofus on the show, using over-the-top language and trying to come off as a Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure type. He’s not, according to this source, and is actually a very intelligent strategic guy who is well known by his friends for pulling stunts like this.

What’s more is that in last night’s episode he brought a “friend” he called Gatsby on to the show to help him decide between the final two women. The source says that Gatsby is an entrepreneur and triathelete named Mitch Thrower. He founded the La Jolla Holding group, which runs Triathelete magazine and active.com. He is also a lecturer at The University of San Diego in the MBA program.

When this guy watched The Bachelor for the first time last night, he was floored to see his old friends taking the decision to choose a mate so seriously, and knowing these two conniving womanizers, he says they were surely laughing behind the scenes.

Andy and “Gatsby” aka Mitch are probably going to come out and admit this prank to the world once the Bachelor has wrapped, the source speculates, and he thinks that they’ll publish a book and make some money off the experience:

Since I have not followed the course of the season I cannot verify how “Andy” has handled himself in the rest of the season, but from what I saw, he is almost mocking the show.

He used the words awesome and amazing and incredible almost every other word. The Andrew I knew was extremely well spoken and very strategic. He would not speak with this cadence.

So when the producers of ABC send his friend over to help him make “the most difficult decision of his life”, I saw the flash to his best friend who called himself “Gatsby”

I laughed hysterically because the only Gatsby is that of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s book, and this Gatsby on the Bachelor is none other than my old buddy Mr. Mitch Thrower of the La Jolla Holding group and active.com and a lecturer at University of San Diego for the MBA program.

I used to hang with Mitch in my triatholon day about 5 years ago back when we ran in the same LA/ Sand Diego athletes circle. Mitch and I did some business together, and I happened to know that the Great Gatsby is his favorite litearary character.

Mitch is a total smooth talker, and can appear very earnest, but he is the slickest charmer one would ever meet. What I knew of the bachelor who they call “andy” on the show is that he was a mini mitch in training. These are the kind of guys that get off on pulling the wool over people’s eyes in very subtle ways.

The fact that ABC let him on as Gatsby shows they did not do any fact checking,a nd they are completely and my guess, blissfully unaware that “Andy” is playing up this character on the show.

ITs the kind of frat boy like situation where they will all go back and laugh about the stunt they pulled off on America. Seeing Mitch portray himself on camera as Gatsby, I could see the repartee between him and Andy, and knowing them the way I do, it was clear that they were despearately trying not to keep straight faces.

So I guess the original story in my opinion would be that Gatsby is a fake, and they are making a mockery of ABC who did not know his name was Gatsby.

I have seen a couple reality show talent contracts, and if you are not the main star you just have to fill out a waiver etc.. and depending on the situation you can get a minimum appearance fee etc..

My guess is that Andrew and Mitch concocted for Gatsby to come on for free, that way they would not have to verify his employment information etc.. and my guess is that they did not pay for Mitch to come on (he is an extremely wealthy guy and he is often in Hawaii training for the Ironman. He also publishes a triathele’s magazine, is an author and runs the european division of active.com, along with being a venture capitalist and playboy) so they would not have thought to verify his name and information…

I am also venturing to guess that they had Mitch come on as Gatsby as an inside joke to their family and friends so that Andrew can look like he has the upper hand on the situation, and in case there was any embarassment they show that they outsmarted ABC. Mitch loves the Hollywood world, and he would think there was a way to use the visibility from teh show to promote a book for Andy etc… and my guess is that he would be his backer. That part is only a guess.

He goes on to say that it looked like these guys were just barely holding back the laughs, and that they’re “two of the most self-absorbed womanizers I have ever known.”

By Mitch Thrower coming on the bachelor as Andrew’s “ANdy’s” longtime best friend and them calling him Gatsby would put ABC in a bad position no matter which way you look at it. And”Gatsby” aka Mitch Thrower, was one of the major features in last night’s show. They did not show any backstory on Gatsby and “Andy”, but they had them hanging out in Hawaii talking in the hotel back and forth about the serious decision about which girl to chose… Andy’s amazing awesome feelings for these three “Incredible” women… it seemed like they were holding the laughs back to me because I have hung out with these two in social settings. Mitch can act with the best of them, but he is a businessman and Iron Man. Both of these guys in real life are two of the most self-absorbed womanizers I have ever known.

It’s probably true that “Gatsby” is this guy Mitch Thrower. I found his blog, and he’s got an entry about the Triathelete Bachelor Andy. He also has a profile up on Zaadz.com, and it says Mitch Thrower aka Gatsby.

At first I wasn’t sure I would run this story, because who watches this show anymore? A few days ago I had a link to spoilers to the show on Celebslam.com. They wrote “2001 called. It wants one of its popular TV shows back.”

If these guys pulled the wool over on producers eyes and are going to write a tell-all on it, at least it will drum up some interest in this tired old franchise. Let me know if you watch this show and have any insight into the situation.

Mitch Thrower aka “Gatsby”

Sarah Harding,the super well known singer or actress or something from the UK, recently said that rehab is for pussies. The constantly drunk Brit salutes drinking, drugs and never ever quitting.

Heart = stolen.

Sarah Harding says ‘only pussies go to rehab’. The hard-partying, heavy-drinking, Girls Aloud singer has said she admires Oasis’ Liam Gallagher for his wild ways but hates celebrities who check into rehab.

Sarah told Britain’s Glamour magazine: “Only pussies go to rehab. I’m a bit of a geezer-bird, but I don’t drink pints.” (source)

Honestly. I have no idea what she’s saying. I thought people only talked like that in Guy Ritchie movies. I guess all people form the UK are cheeky bastards and have names like Soap or Turkish or Bricktop or Gorgeous George and feed people to pigs and have horrible, horrible dental hygiene. I’ve posted about Sarah Harding before, so that’s the only reason this article caught my eye. That, and the fact that she’s a complete drunken slag, what likes to down P’s by the Q, likes to gally with a proper mincer, and doesn’t mind roustin’ up a little Barney b’fore her Christmas soup goes kosher, arse first, eh? Oi.

Breasts, Hotties, Sarah Harding

Bitch needs a strong dose of ack right.

Kelly Clarkson has predicted who the next bigger winner will be on American Idol. Sort of.

“I think Jordin [Sparks],” she said during an interview on Sirius satellite radio. “I like Blake Lewis; he’s interesting. He’s new, something different, and I think he did really good with the Bon Jovi song, but I think either Blake or Jordin.”

There you have it, people.
