Many of you have probably heard that Dunkin' Donuts pulled an ad featuring Rachael Ray because she looks "too Arab-y." Apparently, her scarf set the right-wing blogs a-buzzing who decided to wage war on my beloved Dunkin' until they pulled the ad. Bloodied and beaten, the purveyors of sweet fried bread that fuel my morning gave in, according to the Boston Globe:
The Canton-based company has abruptly canceled an ad in which the domestic diva wears a scarf that looks like a keffiyeh, a traditional headdress worn by Arab men. Some observers, including ultra-conservative Fox News commentator Michelle Malkin, were so incensed by the ad that there was even talk of a Dunkin’ Donuts boycott.
‘‘The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad,’’ Malkin yowls in her syndicated column.
‘‘Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant and not-so-ignorant fashion designers, celebrities, and left-wing icons.’’
Dunkin' Deeznuts issued the following statement after pulling the terror-inducing ad. (Holy shit, she's got a latte! Duck!):
Said the suits in a statement: ‘‘In a recent online ad, Rachael Ray is wearing a black-and-white silk scarf with a paisley design. It was selected by her stylist for the advertising shoot. Absolutely no symbolism was intended. However, given the possibility of misperception, we are no longer using the commercial.’’
The only jihad that scarf makes me want to commit is against my hangover - with sweet caffeine. And if that's not American, shit, I don't know what is. That said, I'll assume for their next commercial Rachael Ray, clad in the Stars and Stripes, will fire an AK at a Boston Creme - then dump scalding hot lattes on a gay wedding. Wow, I should work in advertising. I would sell stuff's face off.
Thanks to BK for the "hot tip." Get it? Hot? Like coffee. Comedy!

Bill Murray's wife of more than 10 years, Jennifer Murray, filed a complaint in court against the actor. She alleges he physically assaulted her and suffers from severe drug and alcohol addictions. She's citing the complaint as grounds for divorce and is also seeking to have their prenuptial agreement nullified because of Bill's abusive behavior. The Charleston Post and Courier reports:
According to the complaint, Jennifer Murray moved into a Sullivan's Island home in 2006 with the couple's four children due to her husband's "adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment."
Jennifer also provided details of the times Bill assaulted her, including an incident where he allegedly hit her in the face and then told her she was lucky he didn't kill her:
It was at the Sullivan's Island home, according to the complaint, that Murray allegedly abused his wife in November 2007. The six-page court filing says Murray "hit his wife in the face and then told her she was 'lucky he didn't kill her.' "
It's always awesome when jackass celebrity wife-beaters suddenly think they're nefarious super-villains: "Yeah, see, I could kill you and get away with it. So wise up, yeah." Let's take a moment to thank O.J. for this advance in domestic abuse. And by thank I mean hope he gets herpes. In the meantime, how big of an A-hole is Bill Murray? Assuming any of this turns out to be true, I'm leaning towards colossal.
UPDATE: TMZ has a statement from Bill Murray's lawyer: "Bill Murray is deeply saddened by the dissolution of his marriage to Jennifer. Mr. and Mrs. Murray remain loving parents, committed to the best interests of their children. Mr. Murray asks that the public respect his family's privacy at this difficult time." I'm not a lawyer, but shouldn't they have denied the allegations?

George Clooney has apparently decided to heed the advice of a mystery caller and kicked girlfriend Sarah Larson to the curb, according to a source for People:
Larson, 29, and Clooney, 47, made their public debut together at the Venice and Deauville film festivals last September. Later that month, the twosome were injured in a motorcycle accident.
Earlier this year, Larson accompanied Clooney to the Oscars – the first girlfriend ever to go with him to the event.
Sarah Larson is quite the party girl, but George Clooney is looking for someone that's more his style. And that style would be young, hot, adventurous and evaporates after exactly 87 rounds of intercourse. Unfortunately, Sarah not only stuck around way past 100 but had the audacity to suggest George should buy an ottoman. An ottoman? Why don't you just call his mother a whore while you're at it, lady? Sheesh. Some nerve...

 George Clooney and his girlfriend Sarah Larson have split up after a year of dating, a source says.
The actor’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, would only say: “We do not comment on George’s personal life.”
The pair initially met in Las Vegas nearly four years ago, when Larson, a onetime Fear Factor winner, was a cocktail server at The Whiskey Bar. But it wasn’t until the pair met for the second time in June 2007 in Las Vegas that sparks flew.
Larson, 29, and Clooney, 47, made their public debut together at the Venice and Deauville film festivals last September. Later that month, the twosome were injured in a motorcycle accident.
Earlier this year, Larson accompanied Clooney to the Oscars – the first girlfriend ever to go with him to the event.
Though there was speculation that Clooney would end his longtime bachelorhood, in March the actor shot down rumors of an engagement.
Next up for Clooney is the Coen brothers movie Burn After Reading, co-starring Brad Pitt, due out in September.

While this comes as a shock to absolutely no one, Ashlee and Pete Wentz finally confirmed they have a bun in the oven last night on their website FriendsOrEnemies.com:
"While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."
- Pete and Ashlee Wentz
This news confirms that their asshat video about making a baby was, in fact, a sad indicator of the future. Super duper. I'm overjoyed for their unborn fetus. Go ahead and take a good look at your father, kid. I believe there's a technical term for your situation. What was it again? Oh, right: UNBELIEVABLY FUCKED. Best of luck to you, Baby Wentz.

Sarah Jessica Parker and the girls dazzled New York last night at the premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie. And by dazzled I mean these broads look ridiculous. For a show that's about fashion you'd figure they'd at least look somewhat hot and not like my high school prom if everyone was 40. All that said, I present to you, for your mocking pleasure, the lovable characters of Sex and the City: HorseFace, Slutty Cougar, The One Who Used to Be Hot Five Years Ago and Does it Matter?
Enjoy!

Apparently, Amy Winehouse will open her door and autograph random objects for children. In this case, a copy of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for the GameCube. Awesome. So not only are this kid's parents stupid enough to let him near Impetigo Face, but they won't even spring for a Wii. When he grows a third arm after this encounter, they'll be sorry. In the meantime, tell me that's not a precious face. It practically screams "Mummy, I can feel me eyes burning!" Which, coincidentally, is what happened moments later. Ha ha! Kids are hilarious.

 Newly married Ashlee Simpson is changing her name to Ashlee Wentz in honor of her husband, Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz.
“I think that that’s something that a woman should do when they’re marrying a man,” she said. “It’s a tradition that I think is a great tradition.”
The singer, whose May 17 wedding featured an Alice in Wonderland-themed reception, says that privately she’ll go by Ashlee Wentz and professionally she’ll be Ashlee Simpson-Wentz.
Pete Wentz says he left the name change decision to his wife. “These decisions with Ashlee and her name are all completely up to Ashlee,” Wentz says. “I want her to do these kinds of things the way she wants to do them.”
Still, he admits, he was flattered. “Oh man, I was like upgrade me! You know what I’m saying? The Wentz family, our Christmas card just got upgraded!” he says. “It feels insane. It feels unreal.”

The Kim Kardashian buttpad issue has resulted in tons of e-mail. One in particular is from a reader who allegedly works in the modeling industry and says that padded underwear is not uncommon. So, pretty much, we've all been drooling over foam panties. I, honestly, don't have a problem with that. Here's what Izzy has to say:
She's 5'3 with 39-40 inch hips, she's NOT fat, has a small waist and Huge curves specifically on her breast and butt. All natural? I don't think so. I do some modeling and I know side angles can do wonders for your butt but this girl has implants and I've seen many here in Miami. It's almost as common as getting your boobs done, they also sell padded underwear with silicone inserts who want to go even larger.
She wears fake lashes and heavy makeup,so she strikes me as the type of person who's very much into her physical appearance. So my honest opinion is that she's had work done to her top and bottom but in all fairness a lot of people get plastic surgery,if it makes them happy, go for it.
Reading between the lines and pulling from my own ass(!), Kim Kardashian's butt is more or less a philosophical issue. If you want it to be a sign of her girth, then peace be with you. If you want it to be the zenith of ass awesomeness, then peace be with you and, also, don't touch anything on my desk. In fact, here's some hand sanitizer. You go now.
