Poor Catatonic Katie.... last night when Tiny Tom told her they were going to the Met, she misunderstood and thought he said he was taking her to watch the Mets...so she dressed in their team colors:
I mean how else can you explain the bright orange gown and neon BLUE shoes she wore to the "Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" Costume Institute Gala at the Met?
Holy Carp Batman...
Rumor has it that the International Crack Whore Society is about to kick Amy Winehouse out for behavior that embarrasses even them:
It’s been reported that Amy Winehouse has stopped working on a demo for the theme song of the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.
This is perhaps because of the recent assault scandal in which Amy Winehouse has been involved. Her producer, Mark Ronson, says that they’ve been working on it, but due to her “recent erratic behavior,” this “Rehab” singer may have lost the job.
Winehouse’s rep says that that’s not the case; rather, the problem is directly between Ronson and Winehouse: clashing ideas of how the song should be. “She has always made her own decisions about her music. Needless to say, this is part of the process between artist and producer and we're sure they will continue to make great music together,” the rep added.
While this may certainly be true, Ronson told the press, referring back to Winehouse’s latest media attention: “I’m not sure she’s ready to work on music yet.”
The pictures above were taken this weekend. Yes, Amy thinks that wearing a tattered bra to a backyard barbecue is great fashion. Between the emaciated arms, bloated belly, the bald patch on the back of her head and whatever the frig that is on her forehead Amy looks like death warmed over (barely) This picture just makes me itch all over.... yich... Amy is circling the drain in the dead pool and unless drastic measures are taken will not live to enjoy this summer.
After two fugs in a row we need some beauty for proper yin yang... and they don't come much prettier, both inside and out, than Vanessa Williams.
Nearly 25 years after leaving Syracuse University, Vanessa Williams will get her bachelor of fine arts degree this weekend.
The 45-year-old actress-singer, who stars in ABC's "Ugly Betty," will also deliver the convocation address Saturday to graduates of Syracuse's College of Visual and Performing Arts.
Williams attended Syracuse's drama department as a musical theater major from 1981-1983. She earned the remaining credits for her degree through industry experience and performances on stage and screen.
In 1983, Williams became the first black Miss America. She surrendered the title in July 1984 after Penthouse magazine published nude, sexually explicit photographs of her taken several years earlier.
Over her career, Williams has sold more than 4 million albums, won critical praise for her performances on Broadway, made dozens of TV appearances and starred in several movies.
She has won a Tony, received two NAACP Image Awards and nine Grammy nominations.
In 1996, Williams received the George Arents Pioneer Medal, the university's most prestigious alumni award.
Ever see something so bizarre that you just can't friggin' stop watching it? The Diva is not sure what is more disturbing...this video or the fact that one of her readers sent her the link to this video. Some of you guys are just too twisted for color TV Clairee!...and that is what I love most about you'all
Some background information: la Pequeña is Chilean, he is a little person and he is a drag queen. Yes. A Chilean little person drag queen. Try and wrap your brain around that concept. Have your brains oozed out of your left ear yet? No? Well watch this clip and be prepared to sop up the gray matter that pours from your auricle...
What you say? Aging Disco Diva, this made my legs buckle a bit, caused a bit of tinnitus, but nothing leaked from my head openings....OK... you double dog dared the Diva.... take this:
Are you begging for mercy yet? I can see you crawling across the floor but you are still attempting to stand up before the knockout bell....Ok... you are making me bring out the big (little?) guns. Here is La Pequeña once again...doing another Amy impersonation:
Now ponder this...had it not been for technology you would have lived your life not having seen these. Thank you Al Gore!
Ooh, baby (Ooh, baby) It's making me crazy (It's making me crazy) Everytime I look around Everytime I look around (Everytime I look around) Everytime I look around It's in my face
This morning as I nibbled daintily on my cholesterol clogging pastries and serenely sipped my double-strength espresso I stumbled upon the latest Amy Winehouse news: She has the creeping crud on her face and it is highly contagious.
The singer has been diagnosed with impetigo, her spokesman confirms to PEOPLE.
It's a bacterial skin infection that causes pimple-like lumps – and is "is highly contagious, and scratching or touching the sores is likely to spread the infection to other parts of the body as well as to other people," according to the Mayo Clinic's Web site. As for how the singer's feeling, "She's fine," a pal tells PEOPLE. "She's not hiding away. She's never been one to care what people think."
That is almost enough to take a Disco Diva off her feed... Yuck, whatta visual.
Unfortunately Amy's creeping face crud story brought back some nasty flashbacks from my diva-in-training days.
It was the last month of school, during my senior year, and we had just finished a particularly brutal track practice and I was in agony. My blisters had blisters and I was literally dragging my polyester clad butt from the locker room down the hall to the door that led outside. My best friend, who was also on the track team, and I had taken off our track shoes and peeled off our socks (and half of our skin) and were walking barefoot down the hall when our very, very crabby and pre-PC school janitor (they were called janitors back then) spied us crawling down the hall and yelled:
"Hey, what in the hell is wrong with you girls? Put your gawd damn shoes back on before you catch African Crotch Disease!"
As tired as we were we still had to laugh...AFRICAN CROTCH DISEASE? WTF was that? What happens if you catch it, do your naughty bits get all hot and steamy? Do you suddenly sprout crotch vines? Do jungle sounds emanate from your panties? It became the diagnosis for everything that ailed us: Developed a cough? African Crotch. Got a big zit on your nose? African Crotch. Pulled a hamstring? African Crotch.
Yucka, yucka, yucka... until the week before graduation when I noticed that what had started out as a tiny pimple on my check, close to my ear, was growing larger and nastier by the hour. I slathered on industrial strength zit cream every five minutes but that just made it worse. I managed to hide the growing nastiness by pulling my hair over my face (very 1970s--no one thought anything of it) until my mother, in disgust bellowed "How many times do I have to tell you to get your hair off of your face, how can anyone see you if....." and as she flicked my hair back she saw my shame: Yes, I had not heeded the janitor's warning and now had a rampant case of African Crotch Disease... for the whole world to see. Literally keeping me at arm's length, she dragged me to the doctor's office where I could feel every eye on my face and could almost hear people whispering "OMG, look at her---she has African Crotch Disease! I bet she was walking barefoot and caught it. Dear God, why didn't anyone warn her?"
Our family doctor took one look, turned off the overhead lights, and shined a black light on my face crud. My mind spazed with the thought that I was going to end up in a medical journal "Girl with Rare African Crotch Disease found on Long Island"
Sheyat, why hadn't I kept my damn shoes on after practice that day?
The doctor gave a laugh (What a callous bass-tard! If it is fatal will he roll around on the ground in mirth? )
"That's quite a well-developed ring worm she's got there!"
I had ring worm? Not African Crotch Disease?
Turns out that picking up stray kittens and rubbing them on your face is just as stupid as walking down the hall of your high school barefoot.
My friends of course, did not buy the ringworm diagnosis, and I became known as the girl with African Crotch Disease...and oh yeah, my graduation pictures were f'n lovely, with huge bandages on the side of my face.
Wildcat News
The Wildcat women had a great weekend, smacking the Mizzery Tiggers around 81-52:
Shalee Lehning matched her career high with 21 points, and No. 21 Kansas State moved into a first-place tie in the Big 12 with an 81-52 win over Missouri on Saturday.
The Wildcats, picked to finish eighth by the league's coaches in the preseason poll, are tied with Baylor, which lost at Texas A&M earlier in the day.
A win at Kansas on Wednesday would give the Wildcats at least a share of their second-ever Big 12 title.
The victory gave Kansas State (20-8, 12-3) its fifth 20-win season in the last six years.
Lehning also had 11 rebounds for her sixth double-double of the season, made all seven shot attempts and was 7-for-8 from the foul line.
Kansas State senior Kimberly Dietz scored 19 points and was 5-of-12 from 3-point range in her final home game. Marlies Gipson and Ashley Sweat each added 13 points.
The Wildcat men played this weekend too. How did they do, you ask? The Wildcat women had a great weekend, smacking the Mizzery Tiggers around 81-52...
In what is an unprecedented move, the Big 12 announced today that it is changing the name of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week Award to the Michael Beasley Award and it has gone ahead and named Michael as the recipient for the remainder of the season....
Much like the Super Bowl commercials, the 2008 Grammys were... blah. Miley Cyrus looked like a two bit hooker (Call me old fashioned but I never encouraged/allowed my 15 year old daughter to go out looking like a 23 year old lady of the evening) Anyway....here are my official 2008 Grammy best moments---
Amy looking and sounding good:
Damn, what a voice....we all pray she does not go the Janis Joplin Route...
Dear Lord....please, please let me look as good now as Tina Turner does at age 68. Sheyat...she looks better than I did at age 38:
I was not much of a Kanye West fan until last night.... what an amazing performance, Here is his tribute to his late mom, Donda:
The Aging Disco Diva's favorite cawfee tawk bud, The Aging Bingo Princess, loves, loves, loves her "Joshie" Groban. Just the thought of Josh makes her all warm and fuzzy.... flipping her bingo chips and flashing her dauber. I had never heard of Josh (which rendered the Bingo Princess speechless but she quickly remedied this deficit in my knowledge base) So this is for you Bingo Princess:
The queen of soul still has some awesome pipes. The Aging Disco Diva bows to the Supreme Diva of the Universe:
The latest news out of Hollywood is that the writer's strike might be over, which is good news. I am going through Ugly Betty and Pushing Daisy withdrawals and I need a fix of new episodes NOW.
Is the Aging Disco Diva the only person left on the planet that is not in rehab/hospital/clinic? Is there are party going on in these places that I was not invited to? It would not appear to be much fun (well, not counting the Lindsey Lohan sex in the rehab toilet hijinks ) but with the exception of Britney, it seems everyone wants to be getting those monkeys off their back. Do you think it is mere coincidence that everyone is flocking to rehab during the writers strike? Hmmmmmmm
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right...here I am, stuck in the middle with you...

Well, the Aging Disco Diva is thankful that coffee, chocolate and caviar are not considered dangerous substances...or I would be in deep doodoo!
The Aging Disco Diva is really dragging her polyester clad butt today. I hate it when I am feeling less than great but not quite sick enough to justify lying in bed all day. The espresso transfusions are just not kicking in and I am so tired. Time to cue up the Beatles:
I'm so tired, I haven't slept a wink I'm so tired, my mind is on the blink I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink No,no,no.
I usually don’t watch the Jimmy Kimmel Show during the school year but I was up late last night and had the TV on in the background while getting caught up on some paperwork. It was his anniversary show and Sarah Silverman (his girlfriend) was a guest…Sarah is definitely an acquired taste, but this skit was actually really funny and Matt Damon was hysterical. Jimmy has had a running gag for years where at the end of his show he says something to the effect that “I want to extend my apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time so we can’t bring him on”
Sam I am?
Sam Lufti appears to be something that crawled out from under a rock and he is working hard on upholding that image. Sam and Britney’s family are fighting over treatment and access to Britney while she is in a psych ward. Sam found the time yesterday to play nasty with Britney’s mom through the press. He passed on the following nuggets of wisdom with Access Hollywood via TEXT…yes, in a text message…
“No. Her mother is not someone who cares about her daughter, she's only concerned with herself. Sad but true. She was too busy getting a manicure to come over yesterday, despite her daughters (sic) pleas. Sad, very sad,"
Blender Magazine Editor, Michael Gross, shares these tidbits about Sam: "What we do know is that this man has a history of very violent temper, of emotional extortion, of blackmail, of using secrets against people in order to embarrass them and control them," Gross said. There are at least three restraining orders that we are aware of. Two were filed by a former neighbor and associate. The third was filed by a man named Danny. He and Sam had a long-term friendship before things turned dark.
Michael Gross interviewed Danny and heard some disturbing stories.
"Sam would then go into violent rages against Danny when he felt like Danny was not being loyal to him," Gross said. "He would use the confessions that Danny had made and say, ‘If you don't fly right I will tell everybody!’ In the end he did e-mail naked pictures of Danny to all his family and friends and then be began to make all sorts of violent threats against Danny's family saying that he hoped his sister would be raped to death.
"Britney is also probably in a situation where she has a lot of secrets that could be really good fire for blackmail if somebody wanted to use it against her," Gross added.
The latest news is that Britney's mom and dad are going to court to ask that they be named as conservators over Britney. Lutfi says he is "appalled and disgusted" that the parents have gone to court, adding that "Britney is in control of her assets and her business manager is in control of her assets." Lutfi says his lawyers are discussing his legal options...um yeah.... she is in control of nothing, including her bowels, and you (Sam) are in control of her assets?? And that is a good thing?? Yikes. He's a friggin' nut bar too if he thinks he has a greasy leg to stand on legally.
Update/Breaking News:
A conservatorship was granted over Britney Spears and placed in the hands of her dad Jamie Spears and Andrew Wallet a lawyer, just moments ago in a downtown Los Angeles courtroom. Lynne and Jamie Spears, the parents of the pop singer entered a Los Angeles courtroom earlier today to ask the probate court to establish a conservatorship for Britney. Commissioner Reva Goetz sat on the bench. Both parents came down the hall shortly before noon, flanked by half a dozen people, among them several attorneys. Jamie and Lynne appeared visibly upset with red eyes, giving the appearance that they had been crying.
And it is also being reported that the judge issued a restraining order against Sam, ordering him to stay the hell away from Britney.
Actress Eva Mendes is getting "professional support" for some "personal issues," her rep said Friday on the heels of a report saying she's in rehab battling a substance abuse problem.
'Grey's Anatomy' star Justin Chambers (yummy) reportedly checked into a psychiatric ward at a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this week for help with exhaustion and a sleeping disorder. He has five children…which begs the question…when will his poor wife (pictured above) get a chance to go to the hospital to get some rest too?
Sean Young has entered rehabilitation for alcohol abuse following a weekend outburst in which she was heckling from the audience at the Directors Guild of America awards. Sean has always been a card or two short of a full deck so I am sure liquor does not help at all.
Poor Amy Whitehouse has managed to combine both rehab and hospitalization. She had to be transported to a hospital from the rehab clinic and put on an IV drip because she is suffering from dehydration due to constant vomiting while going through detox. You want to steer kids away from taking drugs? Don’t make those inane public service announcements featuring celebs who are probably loaded as they are being filmed. Show celebs going through withdrawals, puking up their toenails. I am serious---ten minutes of a glamorous movie star or rock star on their hands and knees, face stuck in a toilet, puking and crying in agony will show kids what this sheyat is all about.
