Can you imagine being on trial like this and having to listen to the long announcement of each of your verdicts being read. WTF? Bitch, just send me a text!

A few thoughts: I find it unsettling how many people find it glorious that O.J. Simpson has been found guilty.

I am not saying that he's innocent and shouldn't go to jail right now, nor am I implying that he shouldn't have been sent to jail 13 years ago when his wife and her friend were murdered. But, what I am saying is that there's a strong mean-spiritedness that's surfacing now that O.J.'s in the middle of a delayed, ironic explosion of karma.

I have no problem with people saying justice was served and karma's a bitch; but I do find it disturbing that there's so much haha-ing going on. Laughing at the rock-bottom demise of someone else is much bigger than O.J. - he's just an example. Britney Spears is another example; when she was down and out, everyone found it all so hilarious. Second, unlike everyone who wants him to "rot" and get raped in jail, that's oblivious, wishful thinking. When I look in O.J.'s eyes, I see deep pain, sadness and defeat. I don't think he will last long in jail because A) he will be killed or B) he will kill himself. So everyone who hopes he'll spend decades upon decades rotting and getting anal may be sadly mistaken.

I wish his two kids all the best during this difficult time. They lost their mother and now they have lost their father.

As far as the facts go: O.J. was found guilty on 12 counts of kidnapping and robbery exactly 13 days after he was found not guilty for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. O.J. faces 15 years to life in prison and will be sentenced on December 5. An appeal is said to be in the works.

This was wonderful!

SNL brought up some important points in Sarah Palin and Joe Biden's responses. My very favorite Sarah Palin answer is where she mentions teenage marriage. Ooooohhhh! I don't wanna give too much away, though. And Queen Latifah made me lmao because I think she genuinely thought this shiz was funny and was trying to hide it. Perfection! :)

Beth Ostrosky is one lucky lady, she has wed my Howie. The happy couple said "I do" or "I want food" at Le Cirque restaurant in New York City on Friday night.

Downsizing from their original Hamptons mega-wedding, in March, Beth said they've revised their wedding plans so they can get friends together for a "very low-key" ceremony.

Kelly Ripa's husband, Mark Consuelos, officiated the ceremony. Guests included Barbara Walters, Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Joan Rivers, Donald Trump, John Stamos, Chevy Chase and co-host Robin Quivers. Billy Joel sang two songs and Chevy Chase had some kind of "raunchy" roast. Fun!

"Beth is the most beautiful bride I've ever seen," said Stern pal Dominic Barbara. (Ostrosky wore Marchesa.) "The vows were from each others' hearts. It was gentle and soft and beautiful. People were crying."

After 11 p.m., Joan Rivers walked out holding a bouquet of cream roses. "I danced with Howard," she said. "The wedding was fabulous, everyone had a great, great time."

Stern first announced the engagement on his Sirius Satellite radio show on Valentine's Day last year.

When he proposed, Stern presented Ostrosky with a 5.2 carat diamond ring. "I love you. You're everything to me," Stern said he told her. "I'm asking you to spend the rest of your life with me."

I really think these two, crazy kids are gonna make it work. Congrats!!! :)

Samantha isn't fat, that's a given, but her body is nowhere near being "good" either. She looks emaciated, frail, weak and incapable of menstruating. She has virtually no muscle, bulk or curves; she's all skin and bones.

Sam was pleasantly surprised that fans said she looks good in a bikini. That's only because all we've seen her in is jeans, long sleeve shirts, a hat and glasses. We were all more shocked that she has functioning legs and a waist more than pleased with her barely-there physique.

Sam weighed in on why she's so tiny,

"No gym – well, not in the last five years. All the credit goes to Mom and Dad and their genes!"

Uh, she also smokes like a fish, keeps long hours when she DJs and burns calories from riding Linds with a strap-on every other hour. She left out all the juicy stuff.

How long is this sketch going to be? I can not wait! Tina Fey is gonna kill it with her Sarah Palin debate answers. :)

Saturday Night Live has royal plans for a possible vice presidential debate sketch: they've booked Queen Latifah to play moderator Gwen Ifill.

"If we do a VP debate sketch, Queen Latifah is lined up to play Gwen Ifill."

Ifill moderated Thursday's vice presidential debate between Governor Sarah Palin and Senator Joseph Biden.

Because the SNL lineup is not finalized until shortly before airtime, it's still possible a VP debate sketch will not go live.

In addition to Latifah's possible appearance, Saturday night's SNL will feature host Anne Hathaway and musical guest The Killers.

First of all, haters gon hate. Although applicable in our everyday lives, the accuracy of that simple statement can not be disputed when it comes to politics and public figures.

Joe Biden has dozens of national debates and nearly three decades in politics on his resume. Sarah has mayor, governor and lipstick-wearing hockey mom on hers. The debate was a David v. Goliath matchup.

Of course, Biden owned it. How could he not! But unlike her Katie Couric pause-heavy, ditsy, cutesy interviews, Sarah Palin did a much better job answering questions. Granted, she didn't answer A LOT of questions, constantly mentioned energy, said "maverick" in almost every sentence, and mispronounced "nuclear" as "nucular," she still pulled through considering her lack of knowledge and experience.

Can you imagine trying to cram decades of facts related to voting records, foreign policies, economics and everything else I can't remember right now into your brain within a few days?!

Sarah did phenomenally well considering the circumstances. I'd like to see anyone who says otherwise sweating under the spotlight in a United States Vice Presidential debate!

This is one time the haters need to stop hating. Her performance was sharp. She keeps her cool while under pressure.

Hilary Clinton also agrees with me. :)

"I think she's very good. I always thought she would do well," Clinton said. "It's amazing. She's been thrust into the national spotlight with very little preparation. All things considered, you saw a very composed and effective debater last night."

Sarah's views are unique, to say the least. She's fiercely pro-life, says global warming isn't manmade, knows shit about deregulation, opposes gay marriage, wants us to stay in Iraq for God knows how long, will leave 5 million more people without insurance, and overall, the woman doesn't really know shit. But she is trying, and I commend her at least for that.

Vote for whomever for Mr. President, or at minimum, please show your gorgeous face at the polls and vote on important propositions. Your votes are crucial and they do make a difference.

I'm Firecracker, and I approve of this message. :)

Beyonce always records many more songs than she releases. And you know she's gonna have a bunch of drama "Ring the Alarm" like tracks on her new disc, but she'll claim the songs have shit to do with her while saying that this is her most personal album. Say whatever you need to to keep people spending, babe. I would too. Beyonce lets everyone know what's up on her official site.

"I have recorded over 70 songs and have created a sound that reveals all of me. I am in a different place right now and I wanted people to see the many sides of me."

Knowles will likely pare down her bounty of songs for the album, though she has not yet confirmed a title or track listing for the set. She did announce that the disc will be preceded by two singles, "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies," which be released on Oct. 7.

"I have worked on this album for close to one year. I have taken the time so I can create my sound. Something that says who I am at this stage in my life. I have poured my heart and soul into it. It is my baby. It is the most time I have spent on any project since my first records as a member of Destiny's Child.

"The music is upbeat for the dance, fun side and it is reflective, passionate and serious for the personal side," Knowles writes. "I have taken risks here. I am not afraid and my music will explain it all."

Beyonce needs to STFU! Remember when she released some shitty song she recorded as a little girl, promising fans that they would get to know the 'real' her if they purchased that trash so they could hear her crap song?

"When I was 10, I recorded a song called ‘632-5792′ â€" a phone number. It's a little embarrassing but it's cute. There's a recording of that song on the phone exclusively for my fans. I wanted to make sure people got a feel for who I really am. It's only through this phone that you can get this close to my life."

She thinks she farts cotton candy and shits roses. Haha. Not funny, but I'm keepin it.
