Special NEW YEAR'S Message from...

... Dude's NUGGET FOR TODAY.

THE YEAR 2009…
All said, the year finally comes to an end. And although things may not have been perfect, there is a lot to be thankful for. If we insist that we have absolutely nothing at all, then the privilege to be alive (and reading this nugget) is a winner anytime.

Your brother isn’t in some foreign government’s custody for an attempted act of terrorism. Your mother isn’t the first lady of your country, and she surely isn’t dying from cancer.
You may not be president, and thankfully so. Who knows if you would be lying ill in some Arabian hospital wailing in pains from a strange illness? Your bank account doesn’t end the year with the much desired figures you had anticipated, but hey, you’re not being kidnapped just because rumor went out on how rich you accountant says you are. So maybe you had a few ups and downs during the year: he refused to propose marriage but instead ran away like the chicken you always said he was; or maybe she left you heartbroken and said the marriage “simply wasn’t working”; or perhaps you got fired from the job and still haven’t found another. Our nugget sympathizes. But if we’d only stop for a moment, listen to the news or the rumors making the rounds about others, and actually put ourselves in their shoes we’ll realize that 2009 hasn’t nearly been half-bad. Maybe not great, but then if the year was all we hoped it would be, we’d have nothing to look forward to in 2010. A heart of gratitude and steadfast optimism is the perfect formula with which to end this year’s equation.

So our nugget is thankful for a lot: Your readership and occasional comments, your criticisms and the kindness of spreading an interesting article to others to read. Today, our nugget says “THANK YOU”.
Thank you for an opportunity to make you spend a moment or two in thought, and for the conversations there from. In the same vein, we must find a way to be thankful for everything we’ve encountered during the year gone past, the bad and not pleasant ones inclusive. And then later today, when we herald a new year 2010, we must raise our hats and click our glasses to the birth of a future filled with promise.

Regards,
Dude 'O'

p.s: Wishing you a most memorable year 2010. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks Dude 'O' / Resident nice guy... And a happy New Year to you too! 'Here's hoping 2010 brings forth Scandals upon Scandalous Splits! Get it? It's an 'S' thing...

Just saying! '2010? Bring it.

Who's the new Chris Brown on the H-Block?

It's only Charlie Sheen! Just as the rest of us normal folk were gettin' down with the Turkey, the Two & A Half Men star was arrested Christmas day. Reason?

He (allegedly) threatened to 'cut up' his current
wifey Brooke Mueller with a knifey (Hey... that rhymes) His ex Denise Richards must be sreaming all the Told ya sos' she can muster! Still doesn't change the fact she's a Ho.

Actor Charlie Sheen arrested for domestic violence in Aspen, Colorado

That above mug shot is a keeper but moving on... In the 911 call released yesterday, a woman (Brooke) can be heard crying and she later on revealed that Sheen told her:
"You better be in fear. If you tell anybody, I'll kill you. Your mother's money means nothing. I have ex-police I can hire who know how to get the job done and they won't leave any trace."
The Po-Po Report also quotes Brooke saying Charlie straddled her on a bed (and not in the sexy way) with one hand holding a knife and the other grabbing her neck. Deep shitz!

So far, Sheen denies all charges and retorts that Brooke's just a drunk, lying Biyatch. Or words to the effect... We paraphrase you see?! Anyhoo, Violence is NEVER the answer no matter what. Unless? NO, NO MATTER WHAT!


Update: The fight happened because Brooke (kinda drunkenly we think) told Charlie she was divorcing him and taking their Twin kids too. 'On Christmas Day? Cold as Ice... ALWAYS wait until after Boxing Day (when the prezzies are securely received) THEN do / say whatevs!

Any New Year's Resolution(s) planned?

Dude's NUGGET FOR TODAY.

JUST BEFORE THE PARTY…
It’s in this time of the year we hear people talk about their New Year resolutions. If you care to amuse yourself for a bit, ask a few friends what it is they intend to do differently in the coming year. The lists are often interesting. Interesting because if you know the person who’s making these resolutions deeply, we often find that they’re in no place to actually walk the talk!

By all means, our nugget encourages us to go into the New Year with new ambitions. But often time, the reason why we forget what we had set as a resolution for the New Year as early as in the month of February, is that we often set the wrong resolutions, and when we set the right resolutions, we set them wrongly.
The desire to quit smoking might be a noble one for the New Year, but if we have just the words “in the new year, I’ll quit smoking” as the resolution on our minds, then we haven’t quite got it right. Our resolutions should have a reason attached, a mouth-watering goal that serves as a reward for the resolution. And better still, the resolution should be one that outlasts the year in focus. So, if the aforementioned resolution was “in the new year, I’ll quit smoking because I want to live a longer, healthier life and possibly be an example for others in 10 years” then we’d have a good resolution to get us doing the work. And this should apply to all resolutions: losing weight so we look better, feel healthier and turn others green with envy for years to come; getting an added degree so our resume is stronger for the new job we want and hopefully secure a better future for our children unborn; a closer walk with the Supreme being so we make it to heaven when our years on earth are spent.

Whatever you resolve to do in the New Year, be sure to plan to do it well and big.
We should have every intention to see those resolutions through. A helpful tip would be committing them to paper, that way we have a clearly defined, constant reminder. Today, our nugget prepares for the New Year’s party, but not until we’ve set our resolutions right!

Regards,
Dude 'O'

Did someone say P-A-R-T-Y? 'So there!

OUR resolution for '10 is to be a lot kinder to --how to say this 'Kindly'-- Big-boned Celebs (that let themselves go) as well as not try to judge those that end up splitting up with their better halves on account of them cheating and/or wanting to.

Yeah Riiiiiight!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hope everyone is as stuffed as we are... Enjoy the leftovers today (and tomorrow)

Is Natalie Portman dating Chris Hemsworth?

Rumor is since they were cast for the soon-to-be-released adaptation of comic book Thor, Natalie and Star Trek's Chris have been doing some Side-Eye flirting and may even be dating. Aw, Hawt & Cute couple alert?!

The Los Angeles Premiere Of Star Trek

Uh... N-O says her publicist (Sniff) but one can hope.
Well why ever not... He is super dreamy with that Aussie, stare-deep-into-my-eyes gorge face and adorable Nat isn't too bad herself!

'Fingers crossed for this to be more than a rumor! There's becoming a distinct lack of hot, young Celeb couples these days.

'Actress Susan Sarandon and her partner of 23 years, actor Tim Robbins, have announced that they separated over the summer, No further comments will be made.'
Huh? K, since its the Season to be Jolly an' all, we'll let a detailed explanation slide (for now) but in '10, serious questions about this split have to be raised as follows;
  1. How the eff have they kept that quiet for over 6 months? Since Summer?
  2. Was/Is there someone else i.e. a third homewrecking party involved?
  3. Why after a gazillion (Hollywood years BTW) did they not stick together?
  4. When's her next 'big' movie coming out?
  5. More's the point... When is HIS next big thing due to be released? It's been a while Timothy!

Random: Let's ALL care for the world!

Dude's NUGGET FOR TODAY.

THE MEETING IN COPENHAGEN .
Our nugget isn’t one to be left behind and so we’ll lend our voice to the now “politically fashionable” climate change discourse. And should in case we haven’t been following up on the international news, then here’s our chance. All the talk on climate change might seem to be none of our business and we might find adding the words “global warming” into our conversations a bit boring. But unless we realize that the issue of global warming is as pressing as our child’s trust fund for university education, then we’re in trouble.

Wherever you are, there’s one thing about our weather that we share in common: the weather isn’t the same today as it was around this time 5 years ago! There’s constantly a story on the news about an ice storm, or a flood or drought in some part of the world.
The result is untold hardships for those in those locations. The snowstorm in parts of Europe means some single mother won’t make it out to work, and she won’t get paid. The floods in South America means a man will probably lose all he’s ever worked for, and he’ll stand by and watch as years of memory is washed away by raging mud. The drought in Africa means many will go hungry. However we choose to look at it, there’s more to the weather report than the boring talk. Thankfully, by the strength of our numbers, we can make a difference. Turning the light switch off when leaving the room, keeping the tap closed while brushing, walking to the shop down the corner instead of driving are a few examples of good ways to make a difference. A bit inconveniencing at first, but we get used to it with time.

If for nothing else, it’s in vogue to care for our environment. We may not fully understand how our turning a single light switch off affects the weather but it does. And so today, we’ll make an effort to find a few life style changes that are environmentally friendly: plant a tree or recycle your wastes. And who knows, we just might have lovely weather today!


Regards,
Dude 'O'

This is a serious Topic we all have to take note of so 'off to plant a tree (or 10) ...

BTW, Does recycling our designer gear count towards helping the enviro? Just asking!

RIP Brittany Murphy!

Actress Brittany Murphy has died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 32. 'So close to Christmas... May her soul rest in Peace!

R.I.P Brittany Murphy!

Her family released this statement:
"The sudden loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy. She was our daughter, our wife, our love and a shining star. We ask you to respect our privacy at this time."
'Too sad!!!

She’s consulting a divorce attorney already?!

Say what? She ain't playing!

It does not look too promising for Tiger Woods... because his pissed wife Elin Woods --although in light of recent events, me thinks she prefers to be called 'Elin Nordegren' now but digressing-- is in talks with Celeb divorce lawyer Sorrell Thorpe and is seeking possible divorce representation.

Archival Images of Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods' Wife!

Having ‘repped people like Nicole Kidman, Britney (of course) and Nicolas Cage; her 'sorta maybe' new Lawyer guy sure knows his way around a court (or 2) so... Tiger is soooo gonna get served!

As the year runs out, there's no doubt who's won the "IDIOT OF THE YEAR" award. Now to present him with the award... and Divorce papers... his poor wife ELIN. Even if she was a total cow and 'frigid' wife, NO ONE deserves this public (& private) relationship humiliation!

Just saying!!!

One of the ‘chosen ones’ is named!

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen’s baby, arguably a hottie of the future (if Mummy & Daddy are anything to go by) has been officially named Benjamin Brady. He ain’t no Benjamin Button in the looks department if you know what we mean!

"The Model As Muse: Embodying Fashion" Costume Institute Gala - Arrivals

Kinda expected a Latin & American flavour to the name... Like a "Pedro James" or a "Juan Charles" but whatevs. Our VERY select community of gorgeousness has a new member!

All hail one of the special gene-pool products of all time! Sorry to the other Celeb babies, this one is bound to ‘bring the heat’... Watch out Levi McConaughey, a hotter male baby is on the scene.

New Rihanna!



The 'edgy' Clothes?! Oh our eyes... Speechless!

Now there may be a 6 year-old Love child involved?

OMGeeee! The story keeps getting worse as days go by.

One of Tiger Woods' alleged mistresses, some 'lady' by the name of Theresa Rogers, --what number is she again? 1001?-- is allegedly negotiating a $3 million hush-money deal because she believes Tiger's the father to her 6 year-old daughter.

Accenture Drops Tiger Woods From Advertising Campaigns, Signs Still Remain

Oh Lordy!
Who else ALSO wants some one-on-one with stupido Tiger to ask him WTF is up with his extreme & marriage-destructive Sexual appetite?

RadarOnline is quoting sources close to 49 year-old Theresa saying (with the blessing & knowledge of her infertile husband) she was actively trying to have Tiger's baby. Calculating couple! Um, so she was 44 at the time? Seriously Dude WTF?

The saving grace to this story (yep there is one) is the girl looks Caucasian and the 2 reportedly had their 5 year affair before he legally married wife Elin in '04. They did continue sleeping with each other even after he married BTW but that's just small details!

Hang on... 5 long years? And SHE was married at the time? And the affair ended in early '04? And the child is 6 years old? '04 + 6 years = Ergo...

Hmmm... 'Moving on, let's just leave this confusing one in the capable (and desperate) hands of Gloria Allred, Celeb lawyer extraordinaire! She has already arranged some hush millions for another mistress so she's good at this. He is soooo gonna lose money from ALL ends!

Lastly Tiger, What...? Why...?? When...???

7 Days to Christmas!

Dude's NUGGET FOR TODAY.

I’M HELPING OUT SANTA AND HIS ELVES!
Many businesses may be rounding up their activities at this time of the year, and while many of us are preparing steadily and relishing the thought of a well deserved vacation, the case isn’t the same everywhere. At this time of the year, I would never trade my peace for a place as an Elf on the North Pole. I can only imagine the rush and chaos. Impossible lists tossed aside in April, are now being carefully re-examined and hurriedly packaged. And Christmas is just a few days away.

Shortly after we began to add up the math, and question this “Santa” whose activities didn’t always make sense to us by age 7, we found that the man behind the costume wasn’t always unfamiliar. We might have been disappointed but eventually appreciated the effort as time went by. The thought of a gift is forever a delight. But at Christmas, the excitement is at fever pitch. As we age, we never openly admit that we secretly long for a Christmas surprise. We hope this will be the Christmas when we have our lover propose marriage. We dream of waking up on that Christmas morning and finding a car with a ribbon waiting outside our front doors. We’re often disappointed, but we’ll still have those same (or vaguely similar) wishes next Christmas. Why don’t we give up on Christmas? A part of the reason is that even though we don’t have all we hoped for this year, a human trait is persistence – bouncing back over and over. But wishing for never-ending-love or a dream car might be a bit far fetched, at least for an Elf and his old boss. We could make our requests more manageable and doable. Like wishing for the lover’s company and a fun time instead of marriage, or for strength of body and mind instead of a car!

All said, we can help out the busy bees on the North Pole. Granting a wish or giving a gift would make someone’s Christmas. We may give excuses from the economy to time and convenience, but Santa probably has arthritis! Today, we could try going out of our way to make someone’s Christmas a truly Merry Christmas! Who knows, yours might be merry as well.


Regards,
Dude 'O'

p.s.: Wishing you and your family a truly MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Awwww!!!

Still we won't say no to the car wrapped in a ribbon...
(FYI Family) but the marriage proposal is maybe a NO (for now at least) Just look at what's happened to Tiger's "Til death do us part"! Happy Hols' Dude 'O' :)

Miley's 9-year old sis + Akon's 'Smack that' = Disturbing

Awkwaaaaaard! Smack WHAT exactly child? We blame the parents & Miley.

Is that Madonna looking...

Good for her, seems her dating / borderline molesting 22-year old BF Jesus Luz sure is agreeing with her (not to mention her glowing skin) Now only if those scary arms would follow suit... then will it be a win, win!

Quickie: Crime against Makeup 101!

In case you are wondering what's that white stuff on Nicole Kidman's face... Rest easy it isn't that sort of 'white powder' her boo Keith Urban used to abuse & went to rehab for. Aw come on, you KNOW which one we meant!

It's only really badly applied Make-up.
Someone's , aka one (or 2 or 3) of her minions, getting fired!

Poor thing... and we thought her ex Tom (Cruise) dumping her ass for Penelope Cruz was humiliating enough. Ground opening & swallowing moment!

Jessica & Tiger? Oh please say it ain't so?!

Rumors are swirling that Jessica Simpson ALSO may have hooked up with Tiger Woods. Translation: She too may have been one of his "hos' in one"! 'Just gonna go out on a limb and call this story total B.S.

Jessica Simpson Shines And Dines With Ken Paves!

In its recent copy, STAR Mag (Yep, mere mention of THAT lying publication already should cast doubts on this) claims when Jessica and Tiger met at a golf tourney thingy during the summer, he "liked what he saw" and pursued her. It also reports she "decided to have fun with Tiger whether it bothered Tony or not". Yeah riiiiight.

Moving on, Jessicacacaca has since been shouting all the 'Hell Naha' she can, posting on her Twitter:
"can't believe that I'm on the cover of star magazine with Tiger Woods, what a JOKE! "The Shocking Inside Story" is (insert drumroll) A LIE!"

Don't worry Jess,we got this! Simply put, this story is soooo false because firstly, Jess was chubby-fat at the time. 'Remember the horizontal stripes NO NO fiasco? Exactly, even horny devil Tiger wouldn't have gone there !

Secondly, she was too busy still trying to hold on to/solve her relationship problems with then BF Tony Romo... Between her juggling that as well as scoffing down anything edible in sight, she CAN'T have had time to do 'stuff' with the ever busy Lover-twit, Tiger. 'Nuff said!

You're welcome Jess... we always got your (albeit still kinda fleshy) back! BTW, smart move with the poncho look in the above pic, 'hides all sins.

Totes Random: Who's YOUR BFF?

Dude's NUGGET FOR TODAY.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.
Having a best friend was okay through elementary school but by the time we got to high school, we had one mostly out of necessity. Thereafter, the concept of “best friend” became controversial. Generally, we describe a “best friend” as the one special friend whose friendship towers above all others, who knows our deepest and darkest secrets, and still loves us nonetheless.

As we grow older, we find the concept of best-friendship a bit childish. The thought of publicly acknowledging that another person knows us so well that they have a hold on our emotions is one we’d very often rather deny. Maybe for fear of betrayal, or because we just don’t think we’re the clingy type. However, the inner craving for special and committed attention never goes away with time. And so today, we commonly hear people refer to their spouses as “my best friend”. We hear siblings refer to each other as same, and so too with a parent-child relationship. While it is admirable that we can have friendship with family members, there is no questioning that a family member is first and foremost a family member! A friend is best kept as just a friend, or perhaps a very close one. For clarification, we may ask “why do I need to have a best friend?”, the answer is simple. We probably don’t “need” to have a single friend who means more to us than all others, but it would pay-off quite handsomely if we had someone with whom we could freely share our highs and lows, and know in our hearts that the feeling was mutual.

If we don’t already have a name, a moment in thought will help us clarify that. Who’s the one person (that we aren’t directly related to) that we feel the most comfortable with in the whole world? Who would we rather be stuck with on a deserted island, and totally not get bored? Who loves us the way we are, and understands why we are that way? A name should pop up right about now. A nugget mission is accomplished!

Kate splits Up with Alex!

No, no, no. Not THAT Kate (Price) & Alex (Reid aka English cagefighting Tranny) silly. Their love is forever... Like Duh!

We mean the --and 'using these two words grudgingly-- more famous and classier US version, Kate Hudson & Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez, have split up. Kaput... Ovah! 'Never saw that coming riiiight? NOT!

'Nine' New York Premiere

Taking her mummy Goldie Hawn as her plus 1 to the premiere of her latest flick "Nine", Kate put on a brave face amidst claims SHE was the dumpee not the dumper.

A 'source' (aka Alex's friend) blabbed to US Mag saying:
"[Hudson] wanted more camera time each and every game. She would always want to be styled before games and she'd insist on front-row seats.

It was a turnoff to have a girlfriend who always wanted to be on camera.
Alex wanted someone who was more interested in building a long-term relationship than just building their profile."
Dayuuuum... Diss! Her people, on the other hand, dispute this claim saying she felt smothered and wanted out. Ya, great save/diss-comeback Dumbos!

Now which one of these 2 promiscious hos' is one to believe? 'Calling dibs on A-Rod... Kate does emit the 'always wanting to be on camera' aura. 'Explains why she feels the constant need to star in pretty bad zzzzzzzing flicks annually (or is that monthly)

Dude's NUGGET FOR TODAY.

YOGA!
If only we’d agree to try it out, we’ll find that it’s not nearly half as bad as we’d ordinarily think, and no, it’s not that expensive either. A first-time yoga session might be extremely stressful or extremely refreshing; often depending on how sore our bodies are at the day’s end. The discovery of strange muscles and the mind-exercises we’re compelled to do in each yoga session is best experienced. Originally from Hindu, Judaism and Buddhist traditions, the art of yoga has become so popular that even quacks are able to succeed in this art form.

On a mental note, yoga tries to help clear our minds, and fill us with positive thoughts. In the process, we may find spiritual communication and healing there-from. Lest our nugget leaves us worried today, yours truly isn’t in anyway advocating yoga for all. On the contrary, we needn’t go as far as experimenting with ancient traditions in the quest for peace, refreshing or solace. A moment or two in simple prayer to our maker can make all the difference and prove to be much more effective. Better still, prayer is inexpensive and all too efficient. In the bustle of day-to-day activity, we often fail to make out time for sober reflection on our walk with our maker. For those who believe in the unseen, we may take advantage of His invisible nature and put him on the back burner of our lives’ affairs. We find it easier to share our troubles with a friend than to commit them to God in prayer. Many would rather pay to see a shrink or a psychic than to actually supplicate on their own.

At the risk of sounding like the Sunday school teacher, it is important to note that prayer changes things. And if it doesn’t, well we loose nothing by spending a minute or two mumbling a few words in the quietness of our hearts. Today, our nugget will ask us to say a simple prayer, for whatever we please. At the very least, we would have spoken with our maker, and kept the yoga experience for another day!

Lets all say a Prayer... Don't forger to pray for Tiger Woods y'all :)

Rihanna + G.Q cover = WTF is she thinking?

In case you were wondering, Rihanna is still acting like she's lost her Damn demure (mostly Fashion related) mind Post-The Chris Brown beatdown. She's no longer a 'Victim of Abuse', she's now a 'Fashion Victim'. Just saying... SAY NO TO VIOLENCE!

Here she is kinda topless on the G.Q cover. R-rated indeed!

Her mother (and Jay Z) must be so proud?! FYI: splitsup.com and Beyonce are not impressed.

A quick Britney & Lindsay Update!

Is the world about to end earlier than the predicted 2012 date? Only asking because 2 of our fav trainwreck starlets, Britney Spears & Lindsay Lohan, are still acting normal (ish) with no sign of a 5150 Involuntary psychiatric hold in sight. For now at least!

Britney Spears Returns To Los Angeles For Her Birthday & Her Man!

Lindsay Lohan Shows Her Love For Mr. Claus

Brit is still in love with her BF/agent Jason (soon-to-be Mr Spears no.3) and touring. Plus she has maintained an aesthetically pleasing weight level! Who else is Victory dancing?

Lindsay on the other hand is... Well she's... So no one knows exactly Who/What she's doing these days (not even her Momanager knows) but the good news is she is not in a Ward/Rehab.


Um... not quite sure if this news is a "Yay" or "Yawn"?! Who are we kidding, bring on the d-r-a-m-a. The smart money is on Lindsay to start showing early signs of waning from the straight & narrow road leading to sanity!

Side bar: 'Sup with the rumored hookup she allegedly had with
Jessica Alba's husband, Cash Warren, anyways? Raaaandom!

Sooooo loving Britney's glasses in the pic BTW. So Clark Kent-like!

Oh Tiger, Tiger, Tiger!

That's it. Just felt the need to make today an "Oh Tiger Woods Day"!

Tiger Woods announces he will take an indefinite break from golf

BTW, I spy with my little eye somethi' beginning with 'M'... and no it isn't the large amount of MONEY Tiger's wife Elin Nordegren is going to get.

TMZ is reporting some MOVING activity at the Woods residence. Also earlier on, poor Elin was spotted having lunch with their kids. 'Will give updates about any latest developments!

Uh Oh? In our experience, once a scorned woman has stopped her wailing tears and moved into the phase of being able to eat... Be afraid... VERY AFRAID

Still no sign of 'Cheetah' --sorry-- 'Tiger' but with a face (and battered image) like his, Who can blame the Douche for hiding?!

Let's all reflect on the year as it ends...

...Dude's NUGGET FOR TODAY.

WHAT BETTER DAY THAN TODAY?
As the command performance we call a year comes to an end, it is only expected and all too appropriate that we spend ample time reflecting on the days gone by. While many will find that the months past have not brought forth all of the promise we had hoped at the start of the year and while we may find quite a few disappointments here and there, if we strive at a little honesty, we will find a few pleasant experiences worth the memory.

It is ever so tempting to give up on a brighter tomorrow. We find it convenient to stop dreaming big. We think to ourselves that in this year in which we gave our all to chasing our dreams, and to making a better today of our yesterdays, all that we may have to show for the massive effort is the same old job without a promotion, a spouse who’s unhappiness has only grown in the past few months or a bank account that has deflated in spite of our sleepless nights at work. While positive thinking can be tiring, we must understand that negativity and a lack of faith in ourselves is as brutal a killer as the man in the movies.

As we count our gains and losses from the year, we must not forget that today is all we truly have. With that in mind, we must be grateful for the all that is our portion. For indeed all that we’ve encountered in the past year has been fashioned out to make of today a glorious one. We must live in the now, realizing that in truth today is the best day of our lives. Why? It is in today that we can do all the good, correct all the wrong and plant the seeds of a pleasant tomorrow. And so when the year is reviewed, we mustn’t forget that a highlight has been TODAY!!!
