Mel Gibson Vs. the Jews - Part 2

The middle east conflict has a new face. His name is Mel Gibson.

Or it could be that two years after the much controversial Passion of the Christ film, Gibson finally made public how he feels about his worst critics -- the Jews.

The 50-year-old Oscar winning actor/director has been apprehended by police for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in Malibu, and blamed the Jews for starting world wars.

Celebrity stalkerati siteTMZ reported that the devout Catholic celebrity shouted anti-Jewish slurs and boasted that he "owned Malibu."

His alleged exact words were: "F….. Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." He then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?" Thus, completely eroding any plans he may have of becoming a representative to the United Nations.

However the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s woud not confirm this story.

As expected, no matter how it’s true or not, the Jewish community who already hate him for making Passion of the Christ was quick to pound on this "anti-semitic" sentiments.

Of course, we also expected Gibson to apologize for his behavior once he gets sober. In a well-written statement he said he is ashamed of his actions and says sorry for "despicable" statements he made during the arrest and for his "horrific relapse", after battling alcoholism all his adult life.

So now we find out that Gibson is a drunk all along. And given his claim he hasn’t been sober for the last 20 or so years.

But this apology was not enough to console the offended Jews because, well, he didn’t exactly say "sorry Jews.." And as Centerblue says:

"Given previous suspicions of his anti-Semitic views and his overly harsh depiction of Jews in The Passion of the Christ, I find his apology hard to believe–and find it more likely that he was revealing the truth of his feelings under the influence of alcohol."

Maybe he hasn’t forgiven the Jews either for his failed attempt to collect at the Oscars anew when Passion was snubbed in the major awards.

Things heat up as our unreliable sources tell us Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has invited Gibson to break bread with him and Hugo Chavez. After all, didn’t his father also said the Holocaust was mostly a work of fiction?

Well he can forget about Steven Spielberg sending him a card on Christmas!

Baby Shiloh In Wax

Those money-hungry clickers haven't succeeded in cornering the celebrity global family inside their Malibu home, so they opted for the next best thing.

A silicone doll of Baby Brangelina (a.k.a. Shiloh Nouvelle Jolie-Pitt) was presented to the press, including the paparazzis, at Madame Tussauds in New York. Cashing in on the public's humongous fascination with Brad and Angelina's "chosen one", the museum unveiled the wax figures of the family. Surrounded by African furry beasts in what look like its own Safari version of the Nativity.

The figure, complete with her mother’s “signature pouty lips and delicate features,” displayed in an “African-themed nursery,” where it will rest “peacefully” in a woven basket, according to the museum’s description.

The museum also said that Shiloh is the first infant to be immortalized in wax -- take that Jesus! Madame Tussands general manager Janine DiGioacchino justified this by adding that Shiloh is already an iconic figure in world popular culture, a very significant feat for an 8-week-old.

Baby Shiloh wax was sculpted based on her first pictures published by People Magazine. Therefore it's not true that the artists were made to bring myhrr, gold and frankincense so they can be allowed to see the babe in her multimillion not-really-humble abode.

And to honor Shiloh's parents who are totally committed to giving away their children's inheritance to charity, visitors can have their photos taken with the famous wax family, and $1 from each photo visitors buy will be donated to UNICEF.

It's not cheap to see the Shiloh, too. A ticket to take a peek at what the museum calls "the world's most famous baby" costs about $30.

And so the paparazzis who have tried and failed to get near the real Shiloh feasted on the wax doll, while it's still free, and endlessly snapped their cameras with passionate vengeance.

Great Big Wars in Little Places...

The middle east is at war again.

A region ravaged by thousands of years of fighting over land and religion is now in the middle of another cross-border conflict.

Israel fights hostilities started by Palestinian and Lebanese militants when Isareli soldiers were captured. Militants were negotiating prisoner swap. But Israel being tired of getting bullied, maybe, decided to attack instead. Trigerring open war.

These militants were formed as a reaction to European Jews occupying Arab land to establish their own state. Therefore, this war has been going on for many decades now.

But it's not a war of the Jewish and Arab people nowadays. Just the bickering of politicians from both sides who refuse to sit down and map out lasting solutions.

Arab leaders in Saudi Arabia, Egypt & Jordan are sitting lame ducks. The US refuse to barter with both sides for ceasefire. How could they when they are fast-tracking shipment of bombs to Israel, which are being used to pound Lebanon into shreds.

Syria and Iran decided not to do anything, like use their influence on Hezbollah so it will release the captured soldiers that may put a stop to the conflict. No they won't do anything until US and the world community directly talk to them and not just treat them as some irritants on the quest for peace and democracy.

Oh, and while they scramble to find a quick solution to this crisis, Iraq's insurgents continue to rise and push the nation into civil war.

Meanwhile innocent civilians die by the minute from all sides of the conflict. Many of them children. Simply because their leaders foolishly refuse to make a compromise.

Kofi Annan recently said in a Larry King interview:

"There are moments of frustrations and sadness. But much more desperation...on how we turn against each other. On how we create weapons that kill human lives..."

The UN Secretary-General is the most rational player in the Middle East and other world issues. Too bad no one is listening to him.

Snake Tales

Was it last week or two weeks ago when doctors in Idaho oprated on a 12-foot Burmese python after it swallowed an electric blanket.

Because of that, the snake survived.

Now this news in Germany where a snake owner will be charged with animal abuse for sending 1.5m (5ft) albino python snake to a buyer through the postal mail!

A few months ago, a snake was also found peeking through an opening of our ceiling. We immediately called the Wildlife protection people to capture the crawlie for us. They told us it looked like the snake was someone's pet who escaped. They can tell from its "well groomed" scales.

The Wildlife guys took the snake with them to the snactuary where it will be taken care of.

Animal Planet must be really doing a really good job at sending its messages across. People today understand that they shouldn't wack the teh first snake they see, there are agencies to call to rescue them. Because apparently snakes are scared of us as much as we are of them.

Now I think I like snakes. I just don't want to be around them...

Meet Mimi Miyagi...Ex-Porn Star Running For Nevada Gov

If Melody Damayo could have her way, Nevada will be singing She Bangs, She Bangs while she runs its daily stately affairs.

Damayo is best known to adult video subscribers as Mimi Miyagi, whose long list of movie credits include Deep Throat 6, She's the Boss, Oriental Lust and (here's my favorite) China Vagina. She insists on us that her desire to run Nevada's top office is not a stunt or a joke, but the consequence of a passion for politics.

The now retired Filipina-American porn actress who officially declared her candidacy to run for governor of Nevada in May this year as a Republican was painting the town red to show everyone that she can work the room like a real politician.

Mimi partied last week in guise of a fundraiser for her candidacy. Among her guests was a never-before-seen mix of local Republican Party stalwarts, her adult industry pals and several bargoers just there for the regular karaoke night at a Vegas club.

Old habits being hard to break, Mimi offered lap dances to entertain her soon-to-be constituents.

If you're curious enough about Mimi Miyagi's non-political background, here's a short profile we gathered:

"Born Melody Damayo in Davao City in the Phillipines, she moved to Los Angeles at 17, bringing nothing with her but a thousand dollars and a dream. Now 33, she calls herself a pioneer for Asians in the adult film industry. She quit porn with the 2003 film "Happy Ending" and now is taking acting roles in independent films. She also continues to support herself as an exotic dancer."

Surprisingly for some, Mimi is getting support not just from pervs or the adult film industry. She's running under the GOP banner, those old farts who want to turn America into the United States for Jesus! Amusingly enough, political inquisitor, Wonkette, was quick to to give her its official endorsement:

"Neither of us is related to her (although she is Filipino-American, like one of us). Nor are we familiar with Damayo’s cinematic oeuvre. But do we really need any more reason to endorse her? She’s a fucking PORN STAR. Running for GOVERNOR OF NEVADA. As a REPUBLICAN. ‘Nuff said."

If she gets elected you can be sure that strippers all over Nevada will find their voice to demand for protection against abusive club owners and mean cops.

"I have nothing left to hide," she said, "My slogan is, 'I'm bare and honest at all times.'"

So Nevada, vote for Mimi as Governor!

George Bush Talks 'Shit ' At The G8 Summit

George Bush was caught talking with his mouth full during the G8 summit.

Probably irritated with Tony Blair for disturbing his meal, and you know how he feels about mixing politics with food as demonstrated during his pork preoccupation in Germany, Bush expressed his frustration at UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's diplomatic approach on the current middle east conflict.

Or as the US President mouthfully referred to as "this shit":

Bush: What about Kofi Annan? I don't like the sequence of it. His attitude is basically cease-fire and everything else happens.

Blair: I think the thing that is really difficult is you can't stop this unless you get this international presence agreed.

Bush: See the irony is what they need to do is get Syria to get Hezbollah to stop doing this shit and it's over...I feel like telling Kofi to get on the phone with Assad and make something happen. We're not blaming Israel and we're not blaming the Lebanese government.

I tell you, if this is how the most powerful nation in the world deals with every crisis, we will find ourselves in the middle of World Wars 3 and 4 combined and eating soil green in no time. Better call your contractor and start building bomb shelters in your backyard.

When asked for comments, White House officials advised the media to "take the president's words as they are". Because even his staff is running out of way to put a good spin on their boss' distressing behavior, maybe.

First talking with another world leader while munching on a butter roll like he's eating at Popeye's or something. Then saying "shit" in an open mic for all the Jesus-loving kids to hear.

Finally, channeling his anger at Syria and Hezbollah by dumping the blame on Kofi. Not on the US failure to establish talking terms with the two countries he has bullied (Syria & Iran) but whose cooperations he now need to end the bombings.

Poor Kofi. What did he ever do to this boy to earn his wrath? Oh yeah, he told Georgie that invading Iraq was a bad, bad thing.

[BTW, major media outlets did not release the complete transcript of that conversation, but bloggers sure got hold of the full deal.]

Superman Returns. So?

I will admit that I got excited about this movie after seeing the preview. Not to metion that it's a Bryan Singer-helmed flick. That boy-man genius who gave us the critically acclaimed The Usual Suspects, and the 2 X-Men movies.

Kevin Spacey was onboard, Indy chick Parker Posey, too. And the critics sent out a well lauded review.

So what could go wrong, right?
