The Dolly Parton Lyrics to Act Like a Fool
You make me act like a fool
You treat me mean and cold and cruel
You make me do things that I hate to do
Why do you make me act like a fool?
We are of course referring to the internet here. Today rumors of Dolly Parton’s death are running rampant. Who comes up with this shit? Apparently at a high school football game on friday it was announced “erroneously” that Dolly had died. Damn kids. Anyway, by today the rumor was widespread that she had died of congestive heart failure.
Her publicist had to scramble to declare her alive and kicking. Still, I bet for years after this people will truly believe that Dolly Parton died “a few years ago.”
The other night I was watching Hannah Montana, er, I mean, my daughter was watching Hannah Montana and she was on along with Vicki Lawrence. This morning, I logged onto my computer and saw that she was dead and I though, well that was spooky. Alas, the internet had once again made me its bitch. Luckily we have Dolly Parton Lyrics to help us through the Heartache.

The cast for Season 7 of Dancing with the Stars was announced this morning on ABC’s “Good Morning” with a few surprises. Mainly, reality TV celebutante Kim Kardashian — who had been rumored for days to be on the show — actually suffered an injury (she cut her foot on Sunday night, but it was not severe enough to keep her out of the competition.)
“I will be able to dance,” she proclaimed! Whew, wouldn’t want to disappoint the male viewership.
Here is the list:
Kim Kardashian, reality TV star
Cloris Leachman, Oscar-winning actress (wow, that’s a longer fall than Shirley Jones)
Maurice Greene, Olympic sprinter,
Lance Bass, former N’ Sync star
Rocco DiSpirito, TV chef
Warren Sapp, NFL star
Misty May-Treanor, Olympic beach volleyballer
Toni Braxton, Grammy award-winning R&B star
Cody Linley, that cute kid from “Hannah Montana” show
Ted McGinley, veteran actor (who has his own category on Jump the Shark)
Brooke Burke, actress/TV personality
Jeffrey Ross, celebrity hanger on not even famous enough for I love last night or the 30’s or whatever
Susan Lucci, “All My Children” star
Dancing with the Stars premieres at 8 p.m. Sept. 22 on ABC-TV, followed by a performance show on Sept. 23 and the first results show on Sept. 24. I won’t be watching this garbage of course, but for the benefit of my readers who enjoy such things I put this here.
My wife wants a hybrid electric vehicle. she wants a prius like my dad’s. I want one too but mostly because they are pretty cool. However, with gas about a gazillion dollars a gallon we would do well to have two of them though right now our Hondas get good milage and we have them both paid off. I would guess that the payment on two hybrids would be more than what we would save in gas.
Did you notice that gas prices are dropping? Almost 40 cents in the last month where I live. It’s bullshit though. We are supposed to feel grateful to pay 3.60/gallon just because it used to be $4. It was about .90/gallon ten years ago and inflation being 3% it should only be about 1.50/gallon now. Damn opec, damn hummers, damn greedy oil company assholes! If we all drove hybrid electric vehicle then gas prices would plummet which would mean people would start buying hummers again, blah blah blah. What we need is an electric hummer.
First Bernie Mac and now Isaac Hayes. It’s been a sad week for the entertainment industry. Isaac Hayes was the man. In Shaft Isaac Hayes wrote the soundtrack. Watch Yo Mouth. I’m talkin bout shaft here. I can dig it. Shaft was an awesome movie. Richard Roundtree nailed the role and Isaac Hayes’s song lent the perfect atmosphere to the movie.
More recently than Shaft Isaac Hayes was known for being chef on South Park. Chef was probably the most memorable character in the whole show besides Cartman. It’s too bad about the way he left though but while on the show he gave and he gave to the pop culture lexicon. Love Gravy!
Isaac Hayes’ funeral will take place in the city where Hayes first became a well known name, Memphis, Tennessee. On Monday morning and afternoon, Hayes will be laid to rest. Memorial services will officially be held in Cordova, Tennessee, from 11 AM to 2 PM. It will take place at Hope Presbyterian Church at 8500 Walnut Grove.
As Isaac Hayes’ funeral is being set up, the Hayes family has set up areas where fans and well wishers can pay their respects. The Hayes family has asked that donations be sent to the Stax Music Academy in Memphis, in lue of flowers. Hayes had been a tireless supporter of the Stax Music Academy and Stax Records in life.
With the funeral in place and donations set up, one last mystery in the Isaac Hayes death saga is the cause of death. Hayes was found unconscious at his home lying next to his treadmill, and died an hour after being taken to the hospital. Now, although an autopsy is not yet complete, doctors are ready to say that Hayes died of a stroke.
The news has not been made official yet by a medical examiner or by the Memphis health department. However, Hayes’ family physician, Dr. David Kraus, was reported to have filed paperwork that lists Hayes’ death as being caused by a stroke. All that Hayes’ relatives had to say on the subject was that Hayes was under a doctor’s care before his death.
Shelly Malil, see playing Haziz in The 40 Year Old Virgin, was arrested yesterday in San Diego allegedly for stabbing his ex girlfriend over 20 times.
Malil appeared in The 40 Year Old Virgin as well as numerous television roles over the past 13 years. He appeared in an episode of my favorite show Scrubs for about 10 seconds as a bartender who thinks Turk is Indian.
Malil showed up at to his ex girlfriend’s home in San Marcos where an altercation between the couple took place. The unidentified woman was stabbed an estimated 20 times. Sadly her children were at home at the time of the attack.
Neighbors heard the woman screaming and called police and an ambulance. The woman was reportedly taken to an area hospital where she was listed in critical condition with multiple stab wounds and cuts to her face.
Malil’s family members worked with police investigators to capture the fleeing actor, who boarded a train and reportedly headed to meet with his lawyer. He was apprehended and removed from the train at Oceanside depot on Monday evening after agreeing to surrender. He is being held in the San Mateo Sheriff’s Department jail.
According to TMZ.com the woman’s name is Kendra Bebee.
George Lucas just can’t quit. Not that I am complaining of course. Not about this anyway. It’s just, well he knows dammn well that I can’t help but watch and yet he has interest in even fufilling my expectations. And so here comes Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Meh.
I was never a full on Star Wars fanboy. My brother was though the doctors assure us he is fully recovered. However, I have always liked the original trilogy. I had been looking forward to the new trilogy ever since I had first heard the rumors ten years before the Phantom Menace came out. And then of course came Jar Jar. Attack of the Clones wasn’t bad and Revenge of the Sith came close to redeeming him but they could have just done Revenge of the Sith and everything would have been groovy.
Is there anything in this post that hasn’t already been said in the last ten years though? Probably not. And now here comes The Clone Wars to the big screen. i think its funny that only Christoper Lee and Sam “Motherfucking Snakes” Jackson were asked to voice their characters while Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman either have better things to do or George Lucas is done with them. Natalie Portman may actually be famous enough that she is too expensive though and also her one asset, her hotness, would not do much good in voice over.
I’ll probably rent this when it comes out on DVD at Christmas. I like to take advantage of a good sale.
Does the world need another Ben Stiller movie? Whether we need one or not we have been given Tropic Thunder. It’s a war movie co-starring Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. in blackface. This sounds like the premise of a skit on SNL, not a good one either.
Let’s take each of these points in turn, first, Ben Stiller. This buy never met a pile of crap he didn’t feel like turning into a movie. I very rarely enjoy any movie he is associated with though I think Dodgeball is a guilty pleasure but please don’t ever tell anyone. Tropic Thunder just looks stupid though.
Jack Black, isn’t his 15 minutes up yet? I hated Tenacious D back in 2001 and I still don’t like it. I don’t really like his movies. Actually, I liked him in the Jackal but only because he had the courtesy to die painfully. Putting him in a Ben Stiller movie is an obvious move though.
Robert Downey Jr in blackface? What? Is the minstrel show making a comeback? The concept is ridiculous. But apparently you have to be fearless to make movies in hollywood today. Oh wait, did I say fearless? I meant an overrated hack. The sad part is that I actually like Robert Downey in some of his stuff but He will not get me to watch Tropic Thunder.
i think the concept of this movie is just stupid. I’m not a big fan of comedies in the first place and this one is no exception. I only hope it will die a quick death at the box office but since it has such a powerhouse of stars it probably will be in the top five at the box office this coming weekend. Thats just the way it goes.
The only thing I knew about Michael Phelps before tonight was that he is a swimmer. There is that At&T commercial with the girl who is just a little too into Michael Phelps and the problem with the number of bars in the little Podunk town she just moved to. Anyway, now I get the bit about how much he likes Chinese Food.
I just saw him win the gold in the 400 meter individual medly (that’s swimming for those of you who know less about swimming than I do which is not much). It was cool to watch the medal ceremony. Then the sound system screwed up the beginning and the end of the national anthem, but no one seemed to mind much.
I guess USA, USA, USA!
My wife was a swimmer when she was younger. She thinks it’s funny that now men opt to wear leggings or even a full body suit rather than the more traditional speedo. I guess this is easier than shaving your entire body every other day. But she says it makes it hard to tell the men from the women when all you see on tv is them from the shoulders up. It is actually, and i’ve mixed it up once or twice and didnt’ realize till later that I was watching men instead of women or vice versa.
So, go Michael Phelps, gold medal for the Us of A. Here’s to a bunch more where that one came from.
I was stunned when I just read that Bernie Mac was dead. He was only 50 years old. Hell, my dad is only 52. He died of pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital. That’s unreal that anyone could die from pneumonia in 2008. I had heard a couple days ago that he was sick but didn’t think anything about it. Too many people die too young.
I won’t lie, I was not an enormous fan off Bernie Mac. I did like his work in Ocean’s 11 though, I like that movie. I didn’t not know much about his stand up though I did see the Kings of Comedy a few years ago and thought it was pretty funny. I respect that he was some guy out there just trying to make a living for 20 years when all of a sudden he had the success he had been pursuing his entire life. It’s like Rodney Dangerfield who sold alluminum siding for 20 years before trying comdey.
Like I said, he died too young. I hope I live past 50, I’ve got a lot of other people in my life hoping I do to. Tim Russert was only 58, John Ritter was 55, Heath Ledger was 28, Kurt Cobain was 27, Tupac Shakur was 25, James Dean was 23. The list goes on. Bernie Mac will be missed.
It’s that time again, time for the summer Olympics. Yee haw. I haven’t actually been excited about them since i was 13 years old. It was an exciting time, i didn’t have a mortgage, I was about to start the eighth grade, and I was pumped. I spent two weeks glued to the tv that summer watching the Barcelona Games. At the time I was dreaming about being an olympic decathalete. I’m not sure what gave me the idea that this was something I wanted to pursue, I’m certainly no where near that now. The closest I ever got was the eighth grade track team and lets just say it did not give me encouragement to pursue that dream. I almost went out for the cross country team in the fall but though better of it after almost getting heat stroke running the 1600 meter at a track meet.
Nowadays I am not that excited about the olympics, either winter or summer. It no longer holds the same appeal to me. When I was 13, there was the decathalon dream but there was also the 16 year old gymnasts. At 30, they don’t have quite the same appeal. I have a mortgage, a wife, and a kid, 16 year old over achievers are not my thing (16 year olds in general are not my thing, just to clarify).
The olympics this year are in Beijing China, which is about 12 hours ahead of eastern time. So I guess they must have had the olympics opening ceremony live several hours ago. Or maybe good morning america or whatever, I think its actually NBC, is showingg it not live. I’m not interested enough to check. I don’t get why the IOC has the olympics in countries with the appaling human rights record as china. Of course, they have them in the states every decade or so and we are not exactly walking on water these days.
Olympic mortgage seems to be a popular name for mortgage companies. I guess because this is because of the hopes and dreams that they olympics represent. Or at least what they represented before the US lobbied to allow professional athletes to compete and then it mostly became about the US racking up the gold medals. I guess to many people it still is a dream. You spend your whole life workingng towards the goal off getting to the olympics and then when you get there, it must be magical. So my countrie’s politics aside, for the individual, they still represent hope.
