Allow me to reiterate for the record that, of course, no civilized person EVER accepts hospitality for the food, and therefore, of course, what food is served is entirely irrelevant, regardless of dietary restrictions, religion, or dire life-threatening allergy. Everyone is there for the conversation, of course, and will eat what might be provided, or not, and if they are or will be hungry and know they can't eat just about anything that happens to be put in front of them they always eat before going out.

That said, it is easy to get a caterer to throw in a few vegetarian main courses.

Yeah, right.
That Ben chose a night with a pack of skank strippers over a night with the most celebrated and admired ass in the business I think would be enough to tick off JLo. What the fuck does he want, a thank-you note from her?

Anyway, she shouldn't have any trouble scoring herself a more docile man-ho.

She claimed yesterday she was misquoted, but declined to say which part.

It was entertaining enough to watch, but there's more substance in a Coors Light ad. The subjects are young, rich, apparently parentless* and reasonably attactive, but that's it. They haven't done anything! No achievements in the popular culture (a couple photo spreads and Paris' couple of minor screen credits don't count), the arts, business (ooh, Nicky designed a handbag). Even their controversial behavior is bush league. A catfight with Shannen Doherty? Who hasn't had one of those?

I was most disappointed by the relative lack of footage (they kept repeating the same visuals over and over), particularly caught-in-the-act sleaze. Maybe that's a tipoff that it was, um, a little too soon to be broadcasting a 'True Hollywood Story' about these people?

P (I'm just sayin') D

* yeah I know they have parents, maybe I'm just envious that I didn't get to party all night when I was 12.
Just wait until the Green Acres-esque reality show with Paris.

---- Coming SOOON!!

We did a cocktail party not dinner, but made sure we had several vegetarian/non-pork hors d'oeuvres (sp?) options at standing stations and via servers, and told our special-diet guests in advance what they would be so they knew what to look for. Everyone was well-fed, no problems.

Justin. He had the inside track on trivia about those voted off and Allison from having banged both Allison and Dana. And from having had an occasional weird frat boy wrestling and splashing relationship with David.

P.S. Looks like everyone here was wrong and the three exes decided they couldn't trust Dana, unless you buy her whole, I asked them to vote me off thing. I think that Jun is a bigger threat than anyone at this point; she seems very manipulative away from the others but seems to have mostly avoided everyone's wrath.

I like the way that they just pretend that Scott never even happened. No mention of him at all, ever.

My experience with vegetarian choices has, to date, been horrible. Just because I am vegetarian does not mean that I want tofu, black beans and grilled mushrooms. You would be amazed at the reactions I get when I say "just bring me what everyone else is having but without the meat/fish." Anyway, I would hate to fill up on food and not be light on my feet when the table dancing begins. I even intend to buy a new beer coozie for the event (my "24 hours in a day, 24 beers in case -- coincidence?" coozie is starting to look a little shabby).

Endive and frisee salad with a honey/red wine vinagrette and a goat cheese crostini

Surf n' turf deally: Filet mignon with roquefort and halibut filet with beure blanc

Red velvet cake.

FYI: The Mushroom Asparagus soup was subtle, the Tomato Basil was less so.

Help me out here gang, which one would you go with?
Please tell us that you have made a decision regarding your soup. PLEASE!! The pig has been poked.

I have been told by GFs that spending the night partying with strippers creates a presumption - rebuttable, of course - that you had sex with the stripper(s). I am not sure what the standard of proof is to rebut the presumption, but I have never met it.

According to the ainews.com website, porn starlet Mary Carey has been gathering signatures to get her name on the ballot in the CA recall election.

You can read the story here

(spree: no nudity here, but it is an adult industry news website, so be careful about clicking at work, blah blah blah)

"The 22-year-old blonde said her electoral platform would include taxing breast implants to generate revenue and hiring porn stars to help negotiate better wholesale electricity prices in the energy-strapped state.

She also wants to create a "Porno for Pistols" program under which gun owners would be urged to swap their weapons for X-rated movies in a bid to reduce violence in the freewheeling golden state."

She also wants to make lap dances tax-deductible. A platform we can all, um, get behind.

This sort of suggests that, in the future, after this mess is over, California really might like to redraft its recall statute.

What the hell happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? Unless there is dried spooge, saliva, lube or spermicide on your nethers (or face) (absent an indication of an unnaturally thorough and recent scrubbing) or a photograph with valid date/time stamp showing actual sexual activity then you should not be suspected or questioned. Absent the indicia of cheating that I have listed above, Ben the Fucking Moron should call them all liars and deny that he was even in Canada at the time.

Penis in stew turn her a veggie

August 07, 2003 09:03 IST

A Pretoria hospital cleaner has told a high court in the South African capital that she became a vegetarian overnight after she found a piece of penis in her stew.

Sixty-year-old Sophie Matala, an employee at the Pretoria Medforum Hospital, related her story to the court in her damages claim of 2.5 million Rands against the hospital.

She said that her ordeal started on May 11, 1999 when she sat down for lunch at the hospital canteen and ordered her favourite plate of goulash and began to take a few bites of the meat.

Matala said she found the meat slippery and could not cut it with a knife. She then placed it in her mouth but the meat was so tough that she could not bite it.

She then took the meat out of her mouth and inspected it with her colleagues. To her horror she found that it was a piece of penis. But she could not find out whether it was human or animal.

Matala was so traumatised that she vomitted for the rest of the day and from that day was put-off by meat. She had since become a vegetarian.

Claiming damages, she alleged the hospital was responsible for the food at the canteen.

The judge, however, turned down her application, as she had not submitted it within the stipulated time of three years.
