Long Time, No See

November 5, 2009 · 2 Comments

UntitledHey guys, if you’re still reading/checking in, I appreciate it. Sorry I’ve been totally MIA the past month. My real job’s been hectic and honestly, I’ve just felt unmotivated to post. Pretty fucking pathetic, huh?

Anyway, I just wanted to check back in and let you know the blog will likely be on hiatus for a while. In truth, I’m considering scrapping this one altogether and going in a different direction. Of course, when I do, I’ll let you know.

In the meantime, thanks for reading and please enjoy the many fine blogs I’ve linked to in my blog roll.

XOXO,

Dotty Z

I love Halloween so much. It’s my absolute favorite holiday. So just for fun, I decided to jump on eBay and look for my most favorite Halloween costume from childhood—Cheer Bear of the Care Bears. Yep, that’s your old pal Dotty Z up there, the tall one on the right. Sadly, when I did a search, this is one of the items that popped up: Keep reading →

This is a publicity shot for Lindsay Lohan’s leggings line. Unfortunately, it looks like an outtake from a yet-to-be-produced film about the life of the stripper Vince Neil married back in the ’80s. BAngieB, please come get your girl!

Grace Under Fire

October 7, 2009 · 4 Comments

OK, I normally cannot stand Nancy Grace. And admittedly, this round-table from The Insider is totally ridiculous. However, Nancy Grace busting Jon Gosselin’s ass on national television is fucking hilarious and awesome.

Hollywood, You Should Be Ashamed of Yourselves

October 1, 2009 · 4 Comments

For the past week, I’ve tried to understand why so many celebrities have lined up to support director Roman Polanski. Sure, he’s a talented artist who created Oscar-winning films. And yes, his wife and unborn child were brutally murdered 40 years ago by members of the Manson family. But here’s the thing: HE RAPED A 13-YEAR-OLD GIRL. I don’t give a fuck if he found the cure for cancer after he finished, this man needs to go to jail. Because not only did he drug and rape a child (and don’t give me that “consensual sex” bullshit, as no 13-year-old child can truly consent to sex with a grown man, especially after he’s plied her with qualudes and champagne), he skipped bail and fled the country. So, he’s an ADMITTED child rapist, and a fugitive, and we should feel sorry for him? He’s the victim? I’m sorry, maybe I’m not as enlightened as his fellow “artistes,” because in my mind, that doesn’t make you a victim. It makes you a predator, and a felon, who should serve his time.

Telling It Like It Is

September 28, 2009 · 1 Comment

alg_jon-gosselin_long.0.0.0x0.400x455I’ve expressed my disdain for Jon Gosselin and his class-less behavior here before, but Jezebel’s amazing Hortense hit the nail on the head about this douchebag, so I just thought I’d share.

Wow, could Dustin Diamond’s book cover look more homemade? It looks like something he put together with Microsoft Paint.

Anywho, Screech of Saved By The Bell fame has dropped his “tell-all” about his former castmates. Some of his revelations: Keep reading →

Destination Awesome

September 24, 2009 · 2 Comments

The new season of Destination Truth on SyFy is really bringing it. While I enjoyed the show before (mostly for the exotic locales and host Josh Gates’ smart-alecky personality), the crew rarely found much evidence of the things they investigated. Not so this season. They’ve bumped it up a notch, actually finding some really creepy evidence on some really creepy/remarkable places. Keep reading →

Mackenzie’s Secret

September 23, 2009 · 7 Comments

Mackenzie Phillips has a new memoir out today, High on Arrival, that documents her turbulent life and struggles with substance abuse. But the big bombshell, which she’ll discuss on Oprah today, is something that has me (and the rest of America) completely horrified and disgusted: she had sex with her father, musician John Phillips.
