Perez Hilton called 2007 “the year of the Hollywood Girls Gone Wild.” Perez managed to stuff himself into a sturdy leather vest and doled out his top 5 celebrity train wrecks on CBS’s Early Show. Here is the video. I can’t find this list on his website, so here it is with his quotes.
Perez Hilton’s top 5 celebrity train wrecks of 2007
Britney Spears - “She began the year in-style passing out at a club. Shortly after that, went to rehab, left rehab, shaved her head, attacked the paparazzi, went back to rehab, had custody issues with Kevin Federline. I’m only half way through the year and I’m already exhausted.”
Jamie Lynn Spears - “Something is seriously wrong with that family. I blame the mother. The fact that she announced the pregnancy, sold the story to O.K. Magazine for a million dollar. She was 16, but you know what? I do give her credit for making the tough decision and keeping the baby.”
Lindsay Lohan - “Lindsay Lohan was arrested more than once in 2007, was in rehab more than once in 2007. Hopefully 2008 we’ll see her out of jail, out of rehab, but I’m not so sure.”
Amy Winehouse - “The mother wrote a very public, open letter to her daughter, and the father has as well spoken to the media pretty much saying ‘our daughter is a drug addict.’”
Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie - “They both went to jail this year. They both had issues, but they’re both making strides to be better in 2008. Nicole is going to be a mom. Her baby is due any minute, and Paris is acting and doing this, that, and the other.”
TIME didn’t provide the total number of views, but you can see that #10 on their own list was more viral than the two above it. Why is # 8 and #9 even on the list? WALK IT OUT has more views.
Heather is going to die when she finds out her desk at work may have the cooties. I used her desk all week while she was gone. Heather uses those sanitizing gells and keeps her space clean to protect herself from cooties, so… yeah. I called in to warn the office that they should wipe down her desk before letting anyone use it after the doctor told me last night that I have community associated MRSA on my left forearm. See for yourself.
Staph and MRSA can also cause illness in persons outside of hospitals and healthcare facilities. MRSA infections that are acquired by persons who have not been recently (within the past year) hospitalized or had a medical procedure (such as dialysis, surgery, catheters) are know as CA-MRSA infections. Staph or MRSA infections in the community are usually manifested as skin infections, such as pimples and boils, and occur in otherwise healthy people.

Y’all, my blog turns 8 years old today! When it first started back in 1999, I was manually entering and archiving my entries like a fool until hearing about Movabletype. I used that for a while and then started using WordPress in 2006.
This site has meant so much to me. It’s been the source of so many wonderful opportunities over the past decade including introducing me to life long friends. Here is to another great year!
I believe in personal resolutions. Goals give the future a terrain for sure footing. They help you work toward something instead of reacting bitterly from an innertube in the wake of other people’s effort. Resolutions help you see yourself in other people’s success instead of seeing yourself in self-defeating loosers. Goals make friends, and they make even more enemies.
Doctor Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, told worshippers at Canterbury Cathedral in south-east England, that humanity needed to protect the world created by God.
People should treat each other and nature with “reverence”, the Church of England leader said.
“More and more (is) clearly required of us as we grow in awareness of how fragile is the balance of species and environments in the world and just how our greed distorts it.
“When we threaten the balance of things, we don’t just put our material survival at risk; more profoundly we put our spiritual sensitivity at risk — the possibility of being opened up to endless wonder by the world around us.” [Archbishop of Canterbury warns greed could wreck the Earth - AFP - 12-25-07]
