Now, we'll pause for a Busey break
In honor of completely insane actors, I've compiled this list of my fave Gary Busey quotes and acronyms.
1. "You know what 'DOUBT' stands for? It stands for `Debate On Understanding Bewildersome Thoughts.'"
2. “My dark side, my shadow, my lower companion is now in the back room blowing up balloons for kids' parties."
3. "You know what 'SOBER' stands for? It stands for `Son Of a Bitch, Everything`s Real!"
4. "When you get lost in your imaginatory vagueness, your foresight will become a nimble vagrant."
5. "You know what 'ROMANCE' stands for? It stands for `Relying On Magnificent And Necessary Compatible Energy.'"
6. "Your imagination is the hood ornament on your car of creativity."
7. "You know what 'FEAR' stands for? It stands for 'False Evidence Appearing Real.' It`s the darkroom where Satan develops his negatives."
8. "There has got to be more to life than being a really, really, ridiculously good actor."
Gary Busey would totally kick Charlie Sheen's ass in a fight.
You know it's true.
It was only a matter of time...

This crazy Sheen fiasco is, by far, the best scandal we've had in years. Thanks, Charlie! Love you, man.
Happy Birthday, Andy Gibb!
Andy!
I festooned my walls with your posters.
I lusted after your hairy, ever-medallioned chest and spandex-coated bulge.
Actually, that last part's not true. I was prepubescent during my Andy Gibb obsession, so I wasn't lusting after anyone, honey.
So, Andy, thanks for Shadow Dancing your way into my little heart. Happy birthday, my fantasy disco boyfriend.
... even though you're dead.
Yves Saint Laurent is Making Me Cry
I'm sitting here watching Yves Saint Laurent: His Life and Times for the umpteenth time. It's so damn inspiring. I admire the hell out of him. His speech positively floors me. He chooses every word carefully and perfectly. We should all be so aware.
These two YSL quotes are currently battling for Most Fabulous:
"The word 'elegance' is as outmoded as 'haute couture'. It's a seductive woman who dresses to appeal to men. The word 'seduction' has replaced the word 'elegance'. It's a certain way of living, not of dressing."
"We must never confuse elegance with snobbery."
Um... WTF?!?
Cow fart cans offer 'authentic smell of countryside'
Metro.com.uk - Tins filled with the air sucked out of an aging wooden stable, straw lined and filled with gas-producing cattle has become an instant hit after it went on sale in Germany.
Managers of the 'Countryside Air to Go' project say their clients are mainly country people who have moved to the city and want to be reminded of home.
The cans cost £5 a pop and can be ordered from the web site www.stallduft.de
One advert boasts: 'Simply put your nose to the tin and peel back the lid for the authentic smell of the country'.
Designer Daniela Dorrer from the village of Adlkofen in Bavaria in Germany said: 'We hope to make people who miss the countryside happy and remind them of home.
'We are planning other smells such as horse, straw, pigs and manure. But most people miss the smell of the cows in the country, not really surprising as much of the smell is from cows.'
Cows' farting and burping have even been accused of causing global warming problems.
Just one cow gives off enough harmful methane gas in a single day to fill around 400 litre bottles, which is really bad for the environment, say experts.

SCORING
Mostly A’s:
The Vanguard: Always on the cutting edge. Your strong aesthetic sense causes you to gravitate toward the sleek, lavish and unusual. Quality over quantity. Don’t get precocious, now. Remember your roots! You were an IKEA fan before Design Within Reach came along. Don’t act like you weren’t, either. Now go find something new and gorgeous to share with the rest of us. It’s your job, Vanguard. Get moving!
Mostly B’s:
The Classic: Timeless chic. Your refined sense of style and impeccable social graces make you a favorite on guest lists everywhere. Urbane? Yes! Snobby? Never. Don’t get too set in your ways, Classic. Everyone--from young children to drag queens--admires you, but you must not alienate your fans. Consider attending that van Burren gig in Ibiza. You’d likely have a scandalously fantastic time!
Mostly C’s:
The Parvenu: Work it, fashionista. If it’s hot, you rock it. You’re fun-loving, laid-back and have a keen attention to detail. You have a tendency toward superficiality, so try this daily mantra: Less Hilton, more Lagerfeld. Remember this: Expensive clothes signal that the wearer is likely financially successful, but not necessarily chic or fashionable. Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and be a pioneer. Now that’s hot.
Mostly D’s:
The Abberant: Fabulous at its most eccentric. You’re cerebral, elegant and genteel. You are a high-risk candidate for pretentiousness. In order to combat this, you would be wise to periodically eat a corn dog, watch a Lil’ Wayne video or do something equally pedestrian. Without you, the Parvenu has no one to gossip about. Make us proud and go do something fantastically weird and/or creative.
How did you score, dahling? Certain you could relate to nearly all the categories, because you’re fabulous in EVERY way. Chin-chin!

Happy 100th, Jean Harlow!
...even though you're dead.
I simply can't help myself. Deal with it, dahling.
Fact: The term "blonde bombshell" was originally used to describe Jean Harlow.
Aha!!!
I've been racking my brain for days over something quite ridiculous, but potentially accurate. OK, so, watching that Galliano rant on YouTube gave me the distinct feeling that I'd seen something like it before.
It just came to me: The Burke Dennings character from The Exorcist. Remember? He was the director of Chris MacNeil's Georgetown movie shoot. He shows up at her house party, gets super-obnoxious drunk and launches into a drunken verbal assault on the elderly house manager, Karl.
The dialogue:
Burke Dennings: Tell me, was it public relations you did for the Gestapo or community relations? Karl: I'm Swiss! Burke Dennings: Oh, of course. And you never went bowling with Goebbels before either, I suppose? Nazi bastard. Cunting Hun! Bloody damn butchering Nazi pig!
So, ya' follow me here? I could be way off, but I'll let you be the judge. Sure, the Jew is the one hurling the insults this time, but it's the drunk/big nose/Nazi thing that causes me to call similarity. Whaddya think?
John Galliano = Burke Dennings... sort of.

Unkle Karl "Furious" with Galliano
Karl Lagerfeld, Chanel's chief designer, isn't remotely pleased with John Galliano, according to WWD.
“I’m furious, if you want to know. I’m furious that it could happen, because the question is no longer even whether he really said it. The image has gone around the world. It’s a horrible image for fashion, because they think that every designer and everything in fashion is like this,” Lagerfeld said. “This is what makes me crazy in that story."
“The thing is, we are a business world where, especially today, with the Internet, one has to be more careful than ever, especially if you are a publicly known person. You cannot go in the street and be drunk — there are things you cannot do,” he continued. “I’m furious with him because of the harm he did to LVMH and [chairman and ceo] Bernard Arnault, who is a friend, and who supported him more than he supported any other designer in his group, because Dior is his favorite label. It’s as if he had his child hurt.”
Reports are surfacing that Galliano is headed to Arizona rehab center, The Meadows, whose celeb client list includes Donatella Versace, Elton John and Tiger Woods. According to the Addiction Resource Guide, the cost for a 35-day Meadows stay is $33,500.
Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Oh, that didn't come out right. 'Gone, but not forgotten' just sounds so sappy. Sheesh. Ummm... Thanks for all the fabby-boo-babulous books, Ted. There. Done.

Dior Fires Galliano
Dior officially fired John Galliano today.
"I condemn most firmly the statements made by John Galliano, which are a total contradiction with the essential values that have always been defended by the House of Christian Dior," Dior's president and chief executive, Sidney Toledano, said in a statement.
The house first suspended Galliano last week after two women told police that he hurled anti-Semitic slurs at them, which the designer vehemently denied. Then this week, a video from 2010 surfaced, showing Galliano making anti-Semitic remarks to two other women, saying, "People like you ought to be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be f***ing gassed. I love Hitler."
Here's the footage of the 2010 rant.
