STUFF FROM ALL OVER

James Purefoy isn’t very subtle – Brit actor James Purefoy (who you might remember as the Prince from "A Knights Tale" but probably not) says he’s not gay but isn’t ruling out the idea of sex with a man.  Purefoy says:

"Anyone who went to an English [private] school in the 1970s will have had some kind of a gay experience.  You bang 500 adolescent hormonal boys together at exactly the time when they're exploring their sexuality, and don't be surprised if some shenanigan comes out of it."

Um, yeah, I went to a private all-boy boarding school too and man, I can barely count all the times we sat around blowing each other.  Oh, wait, yes, I can.  Turns out it was zero.  It's not like we were on a god damn spaceship James.  Just come out of the closet dude.  You're not foolin anyone.   More Oprah is on the way –  Oprah Winfrey has sold a pair of reality shows to ABC.   Winfrey will appear in at least one of the shows, but may not actually host either one.  The first show is called "Oprah Winfrey's The Big Give" and it “follows a group of 10 people who will be handed money and resources — and then challenged to find dramatic and emotional ways to use the coin to help others”.  One contestant will be eliminated a week and the winner will get his or her wildest wish granted.  The second show is called "Your Money or Your Life".   Each episode will focus on a different family facing a crisis, when an angel named Oprah swoops in and saves them with “a total money and life makeover”.  Variety says:

Winfrey decided to get into the reality business herself after years of watching others "borrow" ideas from her show.  "Everybody and their brother would call us asking for tapes of our shows, and we'd send out the tapes," Rakieten said. "The next thing you know, just about every reality show that had a soul would have a kernel of daytime television in it."  Indeed, one of ABC's biggest reality shows — "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" — is the sort of pay-it-back fare that one could easily imagine existing as an episode of "Oprah."

Oh really.  Is that how it works.  So now Oprah deserves credit for ideas she didn't even have because maybe she would have done that some day.  God I hate this bitch.  But apparently I'm alone.  "Oh yeah, this is incredibly exciting," said Thompson Edis, a mechanic in Baton Rouge.  "These new shows should fill the five minutes a day my wife’s not watching Oprahs daytime show or Oprahs cable show or reading Oprahs books or Oprahs magazines or trying to fag me up with some insane psychic ramblings she heard about in the Oprah chat room."
