As for omarosa, she remains seriously detestable. I really hope, for her sake, because she must have some talent, that she was simply maintaining the act throughout the show, and has learned how she comes off. There's simply no way she can get away with the lying/misleading bullshit she did on the last project once she's in real life. It's like she thinks she can simply talk and bullshit her way out of any situation, so she doesn't make sure to get it right first. Pretty dangerous, especially when you can't do the talk in the end.

I think you're wrong. I think there are a lot of people like her out there. They get away with this crap because once they're found out, they're never fired and no one bad mouths a former employee anymore. So, they'll ask her to leave and she'll bounce from job to job doing this for as long as she can.

I've seen people do this. Among other things, I've seen them lie to a partner's face when the partner knows they're lying (and they knew the partner knew). The person left that firm for another firm, making more money. And she's probably in-house now.

I don't have much to say. I'm pissed that he got sent home before Diana, Jasmine, and John the Red, but I knew he would have to go sooner or later. I do hope it's not the last we see of him--he has a truly decent voice and great hobbit charisma. Wait--maybe he can be in the new Peter Jackson movie?

PS Ruben Studdard was just on Sesame Street singing the ABCs with Elmo. That's a sweet voice, still.

SPOILER






My condolenscenses. Yes I know this is misspelled. Fuck me. Anyway, if you just listened to him without watching him, a la the spookster, you woudl see there really wasnt much to him. He hsould do an album of goofy elvis impersonations and bring a show to vegas. seriously. cash in while he can. i think that would be fun. for othres, not me. THere is a big LDS pop invegas so its a good idea.

What did we learn last night in the shocking reveal? THat therea re more Hawaiians than Mormons. I dont know what to take from the inexplicable Diana not placing in the botton two. I thought that was a foregone conclusion. Glad I voted for John fifty times the other night like a fucking loser. My man lives on.

Thank god for reruns.

Reruns, schmeruns. You know you haven't watched more than the first 15 minutes or so of the original release. Assuming, of course, that you made it past the lead-in phone sex ads. There's still plenty of new viewing to be done.

15 minutes? He's good for five times per night? Wow.

Re that crazy woman who is your present Avatar (her name escapes me) have they figured out what the fuck is up with her and her fake kidnapping thing?

I think your sister is too emotional, insecure and co to bang someone right now. I dont like where this is heading. Send her a magic wand and send him some of sunny's boyfriend's coffeetable literature.

Concur. She already has a magic wand. She is in desperate need of attention to boost her self-esteem. Always has been, it's gotten her into bad relationships before.

I googled him, but nothing came up. Kind of surprising since he allegedly writes a financial column and appears on a cable financial show on a regular basis.

If nothing else, this may provide good FB fodder. I'll be sure and let everyone if any pee is exchanged this evening.

Now, WTF did Bill chose the Chicago project, other than because he's from Chicago? It strikes me as a complete morass. first off, he's on for a year, and it's at least a 3 year project. At best trump hires him to work another two years, at which point he needs to find a new job; worse, he's stuck moving it only partly forward. What's more, he's got to deal with construction. I can't imagine dealing with unions and regulators is easy. Sure, you have guys on the team to do it, but in the end, he's got to be the one paying off the zoning director and the union leaders to make sure the steel gets in on union trucks.

Happy to see the local guy make good -- Bill and I are about 1 to 2 degrees of separation on a number of fronts. Hear he's really a good, sharp guy. The NBC affiliate led the local news with him and the party his sister and friends had at Ditka's last night. Went on for like ten minutes, then interviewed the Donald.

You're right about the building... I can personally verify (hell, I can give up to the minute updates on it) that the site is not cleared and is currently still occupied by hundreds of workers putting out the Chicago Sun-Times on a daily basis. A friend there says they have been told where they will probably move to at least temporarily but not when...

Give us his name, we want to enter it into google to make sure it's spelled correctly. you might also try www.alltheweb.com or www.teoma.com they seem to turn up different stuff.

This article is enlightening for those of you who think a negative HIV test is worth something. The porn guy who is infected tested negative on Feb 25th and March 17th and positive on April 13th. They think he was infected prior to his March 17th negative test but that he didn't show up as positive until April 13th.

Have your sis call you after the date.

Better yet, have her call you during the date for a little blow-by-blow -- bad choice of words, I know -- update on the action.

The possibilities for unintentional comedy are off the charts.

Did you try his stage name Stephen St. Croix?

Two, why are you starting to do the parenthetical signoff? It is so 1999. Though preferable to the assterisk.

Here in flyover land, it still IS 1999. Just this very morning, the local radio station played that hot new Ricky Martin song, and the news just came in that JFK Jr died. Good thing we're getting a good start on that Y2K computer problem.

I was going to asterisk the second part of that, just because it's Friday, but I'm too lazy.

They are pretty reliable (caveat - statistics are irrelevant in the individual case, particularly if you are the .001%), but the tests don't register positive the immediately after one is infected - there is still some lag time. I would bet that the March 17th test wasn't a "false negative" in that the test malfunctioned, but instead there weren't enough antibodies in his system to trigger it yet.

This very situation is the reason the porn industry has been pretty good about rigorous, regular testing - if there's a problem you can catch it early, minimize others exposure as much as possible. With any luck, his viral load is was low enough that the likelihood of transmission is small.

Still - 45 different people in a month or two? Damn, did he get a lot of work or is that average?

And Vivid is idiotic for not joining the moratorium, condoms NWST.
