I HEART YOU AWARD SHOWS
Tonight is the Emmy's, I believe they are my thridish favorite award show. I seriously love preshow extravaganzas though I am way behind as I just started watching the preshow a few minutes ago. I used to watch for hours , starting around noon. I need to get back into that. Those were good times. I just love random celebrity banter and super crazy questions asked in fancy gowns. I don't like that JOan Rivers is not on tv anymore and just on the web. I also find it funny that Ryan Seacrest is doing red carpet duty even though he is the host. He is quite the overachiever!

Do check out my most recent post where Sally Fields was conveniently silenced due to her anti-war speech.
james - 09/16/07 21:57
Joan RIvers isn't doing it live anymore?

That is bad news for her daughters career.
lilho - 09/16/07 19:09

I Don't Like Perez Hilton
There I said it! Everyone always assumes I love it cuz it is my kinda thing. But I find him annoying and irritating. He is ugly and stupid. He thinks he is cool but he is not. I really don't like him. I don't find him entertaining/interesting or funny. I think his 15 minutes should be just about over (though I think they really are cuz you never hear about him as much anymore and now he is on that celebrity rapping show which really says HAS BEEN!) anywho. I don't like him, i've said it and i feel much better about it now.
tinypliny - 09/26/07 00:45
Ah. Perez is a bloke. I thought Perez was the younger sister.
hodown - 09/14/07 09:34
In terms of people I like trent of pink is the new blog better, but perez does get some good dirt on people (but yeah as a person he's not very nice). Speaking of front page of the Post today- OJ may have robbed a Casino in Vegas?!?
anne - 09/14/07 09:27
i hate him,and always skip entries that have to do with the crap he does...but I do enjoy his constant stream of celebrity gossip updates. TMZ is probaly my 2nd favorite but I hated them for a while when all they talked about was Lane Garrison.
lilho - 09/13/07 23:55
lol. thats ok, i still love you. and him.

Craziest Day/ The PoPo tackled grandma
So today was a super crazy day at my store. The morning starts off normal enough and then we get a call in for a prescription for Tramadol from a particular doctor who the pharmacist knew does not write prescriptions for tramadol. Also , there was a girl who used to phone in fake prescriptions using that doctor and we got her and i think she got arrested or what not like a year or two ago. Anyway, so we call the doctor and she told us their is a warrant out for the girl's arrest and to call this other number. So we do and so then our store is swarming wihtundercover federal marshalls. I am the only person who knows what the girl looks like first hand (the marshalls have a picture) so I need to ID her. so they are there for hours waiting and eventual we see her. Bonnie tries to take her time with her to make sure they notice and then the one ocmes up and arrests her WHEN...

...We HEAR an older woman screaming stop beating me, your hurting me, I'l doo whatever it takes etc etc from the ocugh and cold aisle. Only to see one of our regular customers , alike 70 year old woman, handcuffed and on the ground scremaing. She is the other girl's grandma and had come in the store with her. Whenthe cop said they needed to ask her some questions I guess she just started screaming and fell to the ground. there were many pepole there to wtiness that that did indeed happen and that she started fighting the cop....so her screaming for like an hour while their our cops swarming needless to say made other customers ask a lot of questions. The funny part is eveyrone said like "oh were they stealing " and we were just like prolly. SO I wonder if now eveyrone thinks we have a super strong anti-theft program.......

....so besides the screaming granmda who we never are really sure if she is involved or not, I guess today some people who are tyring to unionize the store came in today and my managaer told them to leave and then they got in a big fight, and one of the mioan cashiers quit...

...and we filled a super controlled narcotic for the wrong person, who got it and took it home and then the md called us wondering what happened...

...and I got fired/quit/relaized it doesn't fit in my scheudle to be a trainer for Rite Aid.......

...ok this story doesn't sound so crazy typed out but it really was like real crazyness in the store...

....oh i forgot the lady is claiming police burtlaity so like all the witnesses had to give statmetns and what not.

...oh and the topper, while all tihs was going down ALL THE BIGWIGS from the corporation happen to be in the store today. So it was real good, haha. I thin kthe loss prevention district guy may have accussed one of the US Marhsalls of stealing because they were loitering aroudn so long. This is the same guy who accused me of stealing cookies when I used to take them for Medicare Seminars to give to the seniors. I don't like him....anywho that was my crazy day

...oh and on the way to school tonigth I almost ran over the crazy kid from a previous journal I belive that treid to take both me and e;beast home in a rally weird crazy way
metalpeter - 09/13/07 20:05
That is crazy. Hopefully you might get unemployment but if your not sure if you quit or got fired it might be a tough case. I don't really remember the story about that guy. But I can see why he would want to take (e:beast) home. Maybe he is bi or maybe he thought you two were a couple back then and wanted a group who knows, but good thing you didn't hit him that would make a bad crazy day even worse.
fellyconnelly - 09/12/07 15:23
holy crap mike.... pleast tell me which one it is that you work at so that i can be sure to avoid it!!!

Sorry I reject YOU
I absolutely hate when people's checks or credit cards are denied. I always try to pass it off like it is some computer glitch and not because they have 10,000 credit cards that are all maxed out and they try them all. It's so crazy I'll be like oh this crad isn't going through, "i don't know why it must be a mistake, you should call your bank" and then they just hand me card after card....after card until one goes through. Ok those people aren't so bad. But the people who get so embarassed I feel so bad. I try to make it as cool as possible but if you know me whenever I am trying to make something better by pretenidng it is nohting i end up making everything seem like a bigger deal like somehow I wll end up saying like :"your credit card was prolly stolen, your identity is slipping out of your hands as we speak, you should call your senator, they have prolly invaded your house laready and gotten your security code and safe deposit box".

Anyway moral of the story is I hate telling peopole their credit cards/chekcs are rejected...(or do I secretly love it) either way try and make sure your bills are good whne you come into my store...aight!
fellyconnelly - 09/11/07 09:42
very true. very uncomfortable.
ladycroft - 09/11/07 04:07
hahhahaha. that was my favorite part of working at hollywood...when it was that returning asshole customer....

but you know, just sometimes it IS the actual bank that's down and it rejects debit cards. i had that happen at dinner (tiwce). then i asked the server if people really could wash dishes for their meal like in the movies :)
vincent - 09/10/07 23:32
All this while I just thought that it was the degenerate gamblers @ the casino that had this problem.

Britney's Not Coming Back
So I have been waiting my whole life for the Spears performance tonight at the VMA's. I felt like a really great energetic wonderful performance would signal her big comback. Or a little sadistically something crazy like i don't know her kids hanigng from crucifixes from the cieling, or her taking all her clothes off or like running off the stage crying. Either way I figured it would be good and as the eternally hopefully Britney fan I really was hoping it would be great!

I really really want her to comeback but what do we get...a lackluster song with an even more lackluster performance. She barely danced, they surrounded her by like 10000 side performers so you barely even saw her and she did like nothing good. It seemed like she was phoning it in and didn't really mean it. I thought she would give us a performance that reminded us all why we loved her but instead she gave me nothing. It makes me fear but worst fears that maybe she is never coming back. Maybe she really is gone for good : (

And then it got really sad when Sarah SIlverman made fun of her. Like so unnecessary, Britney clearly humiliates herself enough, the jokes are unnecessary and just mean (though the one about how she had accomplished everything she ever would in her likfe at 25 was kinda funny) but really it just felt sad!

P.S. The VMA's are really quite not good in general. Way too much of like 1 seocnd clips from a million different places and the host lady puts me right to sleep. IS she even literate?Ok i'm done for now..bakc to the VMA's , maybe Britney will pull out some crazy show stopper still.
metalpeter - 09/10/07 18:40
The thing with Britney is she could have been amazing and no one would have noticed cause her dancers and people on the polls where on. I think she will be back she will tighten it up as they say and get back into it. Sarah Silvermen is brutual but ya gotta like her anyways. In terms of the performances I think they did give that party vibe and that was cool, I guess online you can see all of the complete ones. I did see an add for (yes they still should play more videos) what may be the best dating/love show ever if that is your thing. It stars the young and sexy Tila Tequila she invites 16 stright guys and 16 lesbians that should get pretty interesting (she is bi herself).
hodown - 09/10/07 12:18
Holy crap was I sad watching Britt Britt. I was totally waiting for this amazing dance number, I mean all we ever see is her chowing down after leaving the dance studio. I thought "heck she must really be dancing her butt off to be eating so much taco bell". Yeah I was wrong, so wrong. As I was watching it I thought "I am watching the demise of Brit". I guess thats how elvis fans must have felt. Now and and Elvis fans have something in common which I never thought Id be able to say.
southernyankee - 09/10/07 11:56
I was soooo embarrass for her that I had to look away! She looked cracked out high or drunk! So sad : ( So very Sad
lauren - 09/10/07 11:07
Ah, Britney was terrible! Me and Felly had to look it up and check to make sure that it was real and live. So sad. And perhaps even sadder was when Justin finished the show with the best performance of ever (except maybe Chris Brown) proving himself to still be fully in the game while Britney is so sadly not, despite her ability to gain the opening act.
ladycroft - 09/10/07 03:18
sorry mike. accept the inevitable.
lilho - 09/09/07 23:29
i totally agree with you there, they sick and so does b. what was woth her nasty ass hair? she didnt even fucking dance and she didnt do the thing with the mirrors that she was supposed to with chris angel or whoever. she might as well just quit now. move to some island and just be done.
