Morgan Freeman in "Serious" Condition After Car Accident

Memphis station WMC-TV reports that, according to Williams,

Freeman's 1997 Nissan Maxima was heading eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 when the car went off the edge of the road and overturned several times before coming to a stop.

Once emergency crews â€" using the jaws of life â€" removed Freeman and the passenger, both were airlifted from the accident scene to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, where a spokesperson says Freeman is currently in serious condition.

"All I can say is one word: His condition is 'serious,' " says Kathy Stringer, the hospital rep. She had no information on the other passenger.

Gawd, I hope he's okay. TMZ is reporting that Morgan may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Freeman has broken several ribs and injured his knee.

Sending good vibes to Morgan and his passenger.

The Whole 'I'm Famous Now' Thing is Working For Lo Bosworth

Lauren Conrad butt pics

Although I heart Lo, let's be real, she's not exactly gorgeous. In fact, she has a hint of manliness to her mug and her eyes are gorgeous, but they're so light, bitch looks a lil possessed.

But, as you can see: she's tamed her gorgeous locks, a ponytail does her right, she's rocking white heels, another move worthy of two finger snaps and one long fart, ... in summary, she's looking great! All Lo needs to do now is wear more makeup and start dating a hot, sexy piece of man candy. She's on her way, me thinks.

Here's Granny Conrad and Lo at a Teen Choice Awards pre-party.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are NOT Getting Married

Jake Gyllenhaal Reese Witherspoon walking

The Daily Mail has reported that the actor, 27, "is telling everyone they are getting married at Christmas" after he proposed "several times" and "she finally said yes."

However, Jakey Pooh's rep said, "The Daily Mail reports are false."

But just because Reese isn't dress shopping right now, that doesn't mean the twosome isn't serious. Jake has moved into Reese's $5 million L.A. home a while ago. They've been dating for more than a year now, and they recently had a European vacation with Reese's kids, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4. Reese's friend said,

"It was Jake's idea," adding that the two are "trying out what it means to coexist as a family.

"Reese was willing to try it because Jake had assured her he is 100 percent committed for the long haul."

It's hard for me to let my undercover lover, Jakey Pooh, go, but I think Reese is great for him. You can tell she knows how to treat her man right. I taught her exactly what Jake likes, and, so far, it's working out for her.

Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt Pictures

The Brangelina babies are absolutely gorgeous, and People's issue goes on sale today. When the actual 19 pages of pics get leaked online, I won't be posting them here. With the exception of a Kristin Cavallari fan site, People magazine is the only publication that has threatened to sue my ass repeatedly over pictures.

They paid $14 million for this shiz. If I post the pics, I'm afraid I'll hear the doorbell, walk to my door, and be gunned down by some dude in an expensive Italian suit, chewing bubble yum gum while listening to Celine Dion on his iPod. Yeah, it'll go down just like that and I'm not gonna risk it.

I can't wait until the twins get older so we can recognize some of their features. This baby pic shit is effing stupid! I say more parents should keep their babies under wraps long enough for us to actually see what they look like - just like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes did. By the time the public finally saw Suri Cruise on the cover of Vanity Fair, she was fugly as hell, but at least you could tell that she looked like a little Asian boy with unruly hair.

I can't wait to find out what Vivienne and Knox look like. Congrats to Brangelina for accepting People and Hello magazine's ridiculous paychecks for the pics! :)

people, hello

Nikki Blonsky Arrested for Beating Down Top Model Contestant at the Airport

Nikki Blonsky, the chunky as hell chick from Hairspray, had a glorious airport beat down.

The best part about this shocking, violent incident is that Nikki beat down America's Next Top Model contestant, Bianca Golden, in a Caribbean airport. Nikki's family was saving five seats that they placed their luggage on. Like assholes, yes, I'm the pot calling the kettle black, Bianca's family felt entitled to those seats. Chaos ensued. The beatdown began.

Nikki's father injured Golden's mother so badly that she was airlifted to Miami to have her injuries treated.

Nikki was charged with actual bodily harm and her father, Carl, was charged with grievous bodily harm. Carl is still in jail for allegedly beating the crap out of Bianca's mom. One of Bianca's family members even bit Nikki's foot. Don't feel too bad, though, you know Nikki was sitting on everyone and farting. Nikki left the airport in a neck brace and Nikki and Golden have both been released on bail.

Who do I have to give a blumpkin to in order to see this footage? And don't airports have cameras for security purposes? This footage must get leaked!!

Lindsay Lohan Responds to L.A. Chief William Bratton Saying she's "Gone Gay"

L.A. Police Chief William Bratton had a video conference where he said Lindsay Lohan has "gone gay." Lindsay Lohan fires back, not denying or confirming her sexual preference.

Lindsay said,

"Police chiefs shouldn't get involved in everyone else's business when it comes to their personal life. It's inappropriate."

I would have had much more to say than two sentences, but Linds probably just wanted to say something quick so she could get back to fingering Samantha.

Are Lesbian Relationships Actually "Cute" or Are They Just Labeled As Such?

The other day I asked whatcha think about lesbian couples consistently being labeled as "cute."

Here's an excerpt from my post:

Why is everyone all just like, 'Awwww, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are SO cute. They're just SO cute together!' AND, people are all like, 'Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi are adorable! They're so cute!'

I've said it too. BUT, when I saw these pics today on a site with the caption that, "Lindsay and Samantha are so cute!" it kind of pissed me off. Why is a relationship with two females always referred to as cute?! Gay male relationships are usually referred to as 'hot' or a 'good couple' but not simply 'cute.'

I think Mr. Gyllenhaal's explanation was the best, so I'm only gonna post his response.

I see what you are saying. First off, I don't know why anyone thinks Samantha Ronson is cute. She is so far from cute and therefore her relationships are anything but cute.

Second, I think people say that kind of stuff because woman are usually feminine and gentle so the word cute is synonymous with that. I have never really thought about it though. Maybe you are making a mole hill into a mountain Joy. Either way I loves you!!

I couldn't have said it better myself, literally. Samantha Ronson is anything but cute, and that's kind of why I initially wondered, what's so "cute" about her relationship?! I do think that women and "cute" tend to be synonymous. Very well said, Mr. Gyllenhaal. And making mountains out of mole hills is what I do best. It's why I can't keep a man for longer than a few months, which is great. Out with the old, in with the new.

I'm gonna make a conscious effort to stop calling every lesbian couple "cute." I find it demeaning for some reason. When two mature, female adults are banging, especially if one of 'em ain't cute, there's nothing "cute" about it. Now hot gay couples on the other hand ... they're cute. Heh.

*** On a sidenote - I've blogged for 2 sites the past 2 days, drove out of town yesterday, (I'm just home for the weekend before I go back to spend time with my dad in the hospital. He had a few health scares this week, too, so please feel free to keep the prayers a' comin'), went to a hilarious comedy show late last night and I'm so excited to be at my place for the next few days so I can hit the gym. I've kept all my weight off that I lost for Europe even though I've been eating junk. The gym is the business; the results do come. And yep, I'm fine after the earthquake. I wasn't near where it hit at the time. In summary, I'm exhausted, so there's no chance in hell I'm doing links today. I worked hard posting a ton of stories this past week. I think that's a good trade off for no links today or yesterday.

Have a great weekend, all!

Maybe Beyonce and Jay-Z Are Onto Something?

Beyonce and Jay-Z date

Beyonce walks behind Jay-Z

When I saw these pics, I was gonna write about 'How Does Beyonce Do It?' Meaning, how does she allow Jay-Z to walk ahead of her and never show any affection when they're out in public? Then I thought about it... Beyonce and Jay-Z are good friends with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin - they are known for never being seen together on purpose. So, maybe they're onto something. Maybe taking a hands-off approach in public could actually be a turn on because then they get to make up for it behind closed doors?

Beyonce's a better woman than I am because, when you're in love, PDA is the best. I don't know how she does it. I lied. I guess I am going with the, 'I dunno how the heffa does it?' stance.

B's lookin' gorgeous in white!!

Because He's Hot: Dave Annable

Do I even need to give a reason why this guy is hawt? Just look at his face! Dave's so adorable, boyish and damn hot.I didn't know what Dave's name was either. I had do 'the Google.' Dave plays Justin Walker on ABC's "Brothers & Sisters" - an adult version of "Party of Five." I LOVE this show so much!

Now back to Dave. He's gorgeous because he's not really gorgeous, which is my favorite kind of gorgeous. He has a boy next door look that's enduring and he also has a major lisp, which usually sounds funny, but when I hear it on him, it just makes me wanna eff him more. I can just hear him hissing, 'Can we have sssssssseexx tonight?' Yes, baby!Dave's reportedly a big lover of sports. After moving to NYC, he booked a national Starburst commercial two months later, played Brittany Murphy's college boyfriend in Little Black Book and now he plays one of my fave characters on "Brothers & Sisters," Sumthin' tells me we'll be seeing much more of Dave in the future. I don't mind.
