			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12932" src="http://thelaughingstork.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/jessejames-sandy.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="391" />With Sandra Bullock pulling out of her London premiere and <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20352494,00.html" target="_blank"><em>People</em></a> reporting that she&#8217;d moved out of their home days ago, this comes as no surprise:  Jesse James has issued an apology &#8212; and tacit admission to the infidelity allegations &#8212; to his wife Sandra Bullock and his three children, taking full responsibility for his f*ck-up.</p>
<p><span id="more-12931"></span>Oh, Jesse.</p>
<p>In a statement provided to <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20352642,00.html" target="_blank"><em>People</em>,</a> the &#8220;<a href="http://thelaughingstork.com/2010/03/say-it-aint-so-jesse-james-accused-of-affair-with-tattoo-model/">Vanilla Gorilla</a>&#8221; says:</p>
<p>&#8220;The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.</p>
<p>There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It&#8217;s because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way.</p>
<p>&#8220;This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them.  I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me.&#8221;</p>
<p>There.  All better now!</p>

<p>If this is true, color me a little devastated:  A tattoo model, clearly envious of the attention lavished on Tiger Woods&#8217; mistresses, has revealed that she has been having an 11-month affair with Mr. Sandra Bullock, Jesse James.</p>
<p><span id="more-12899"></span>Oh, Jesse.</p>
<p>Among the <a href="http://www.intouchweekly.com/2010/03/in_touch_exclusive_interviewsa.php" target="_blank">excruciatingly intimate details shared by Michelle &#8220;Bombshell&#8221; McGee</a> (her given name, I&#8217;m sure):</p>
<ul>
<li>Jesse &#8220;gave Michelle the impression&#8221; that he and Sandra were separated.</li>
<li>For weeks, while Sandra was in Atlanta shooting <em>The Blind Side</em>, Michelle and Jesse  had sex at least once a week.</li>
<li>Michelle called Jesse, who didn’t wear underwear or condoms &#8212; SMART! &#8212; by a special pet name, Vanilla Gorilla, because he was so “well-endowed.”</li>
<li>In case you missed that:  VANILLA GORILLA!</li>
<li>Michelle met Jesse after she sent West Coast Choppers a Facebook friend request because she hoped to snag a modeling gig there.  Jesse personally responded, inviting her to hang out at his place, which led to, um, &#8220;hanging out&#8221; on the couch.</li>
<li>When Michelle asked him, ‘What’s going on with you and Sandra?’” Jesse was allegedly evasive. “He said, ‘She doesn’t live here. She has a house in Austin. She is filming, and I can’t talk about it.’”</li>
</ul>
<p>Oh, Jesse.</p>
<p>The most recent development:  Sandra <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20352311,00.html" target="_blank">has pulled out of the London premiere</a> of <em>The Blind Side</em>.  Translation:  Jesse is likely in deep doo-doo.</p>
<p>Poor Sandra.</p>
<p>Well, I can understand why Jesse would stray.  It&#8217;s not like he&#8217;s married to a beautiful, smart, talented, successful, gracious wom &#8212; oh, wait.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FUN CHALLENGE OF THE DAY</span>:  Find a way to casually work &#8220;Vanilla Gorilla&#8221; into conversation!</p>

<p><span id="more-12872"></span>&#8220;Rob and I are so excited it&#8217;s stupid,&#8221; Kaitlin says in a statement. &#8220;The last couple years have been pretty amazing for us and just when we thought things couldn&#8217;t get any better, the greatest little thing in the world happened! We&#8217;re totally beside ourselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>That is one of the most genuine-sounding publicity statements I&#8217;ve ever read.  Well-done, Kaitlin and Rob.  Well-done, indeed.</p>
<p>Master Publicity Statement Writers Kaitlin, 34, and Rob, 32, got hitched in 2008 in a place where it really IS always sunny:  Malibu.</p>
<p><em>It&#8217;s Always Sunny</em>, which Rob created and executive produces, will return for its sixth season in September.   (Sixth?!)  Meanwhile, Kaitlin most recently appeared in the cheesy-looking movie <em>Leap Year</em> as the best friend of Amy Adams.</p>
<p>Congrats, you crazy kids!  (P.S.  I am <em>so</em> glad you don&#8217;t play the brother-sister duo.  That would creep me out for no good reason.)</p>

<p>On <em>The View </em>yesterday,  Barbara Walters said she had talked to Rielle that morning.</p>
<p>&#8220;She  was in tears when she called,&#8221; said Barbara, &#8220;and said that when she  saw the pictures in <em>GQ</em> she screamed for two hours.  She said  she found the <a href="http://www.gq.com/news-politics/politics/201004/rielle-hunter-john-edwards-exclusive-slideshow#slide=1" target="_blank">photographs</a> repulsive.</p>
<p>So Barbara asked the obvious question:  If that was the case, then why did she pose for them?</p>
<p>&#8220;She said she  trusted Mark Seliger, whom she said is a brillant photographer and  quote, &#8216;I went with the flow,&#8217;&#8221; recounted Barbara.</p>
<p>Barbara added that Rielle &#8220;thought that having one of those photos was okay and would be  sexy and that there were others that were just beautiful headshots, but  that <em>GQ</em> picked photos to hit one note.&#8221;</p>
<p>Awwww.  She must feel so BETRAYED!  Poor thing.</p>

<p><span id="more-12653"></span>&#8220;I&#8217;m really excited. I&#8217;m happy. I can&#8217;t wait to be a dad,&#8221; A.C. Slater tells PEOPLE.</p>
<p>Mario, 36, and actress Courtney Mazza, 28, met in 2008 when the cheesy <em>Extra</em> host starred in A <em>Chorus Line</em> on Broadway.  As you may remember, Mario was once married to Doritos hottie Ali Landry, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,636482,00.html" target="_blank">who divorced his cheating behind after only two weeks</a>, then he romanced <em>Dancing with the Stars</em> partner Karina Smirnoff, <a href="http://www.ivillage.com/karina-smirnoff-talks-about-mario-lopezs-cheating-0/1-a-28119" target="_blank">who broke up with his cheating behind after two years of dating</a>.</p>
<p>Stellar relationship history aside, Mario claims he&#8217;s totally ready to be a daddy.</p>
<p>&#8220;I grew up in a large family,&#8221; Mario says.  &#8220;I&#8217;m fired up!  I don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re having.  I&#8217;m going to wait to see [the baby's gender] so it will be a surprise.&#8221;</p>
<p>He should totally entertain the kid by reciting old <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096694/quotes" target="_blank"><em>Saved by the Bell </em>dialogue</a>:</p>
<p>JESSIE:  You macho pig.<br />
SLATER:  Oink oink, baby.</p>
<p>Like Shakespeare.  Only deeper.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-12645" src="http://thelaughingstork.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/demi-rumer.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="350" />Here&#8217;s a heartwarming family tale:  Demi Moore recently gave daughter Rumer Willis a pole-dancing lesson at a party at the Chateau Marmont hotel in Hollywood.</p>
<p><span id="more-12644"></span>Yes, naturally, there was a pole at the bash, and &#8220;Demi thought it would be fun to show everyone she still has what it takes,” a partygoer tells <a href="http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/2010/03/demi-and-rumer.html" target="_blank"><em>Life &amp; Style</em></a>. “Demi even spun around the pole upside down. It was incredible.”</p>
<p>Then it was Rumer’s turn, as stepdad Ashton Kutcher looked on &#8212; not creepy at all! &#8212; and Jennifer Aniston and Leonardo DiCaprio also gathered &#8217;round.</p>
<p>“It was strange, but Demi encouraged Rumer to join her,” says the partygoer.  “Everyone was cheering, and Leo gave Ashton a high-five.  Ashton put his arms around both Demi and Rumer and looked like the proudest man in the room.”</p>
<p>Awwwww.  A proud papa!</p>
<p>Giving your daughter public pole-dancing lessons:  unusual.  Willingly reminding everyone that you starred in <em>Striptease</em>:  SHOCKING.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12623 aligncenter" src="http://thelaughingstork.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Tangled.jpg" alt="" width="580" height="305" /></p>
<p>Apparently, Disney executives were surprised that boys didn&#8217;t want to see &#8220;The Princess and the Frog&#8221; (which didn&#8217;t rake in the bucks the studio expected) because it&#8217;s about, you know, a PRINCESS &#8212; so <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ct-disney9-2010mar09,0,7034175.story" target="_blank">they have vowed not to repeat that mistake</a> with its next animated film, &#8220;Rapunzel&#8221; by giving the movie a less gender-specific title:  &#8220;Tangled.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brothers_Grimm" target="_blank"><span id="more-12622"></span>The Brothers Grimm</a> are surely rolling over in their graves.</p>
<p>The studio&#8217;s marketing campaign will also target young lads, amping up the role of the dashing Errol Flynn-styled male lead to share the spotlight with the <em>real</em> star of the flick, Rapunzel herself.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In our film, the infamous bandit Flynn Rider meets his match in the girl with the 70 feet of magical golden hair,&#8221; wrote the film&#8217;s producer, Roy Conli, on Disney Animation&#8217;s Facebook page. &#8220;We&#8217;re having a lot of fun pairing Flynn, who&#8217;s seen it all, with Rapunzel, who&#8217;s been locked away in a tower for 18 years.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Flynn Rider, of course, is nowhere to be found in the original &#8220;Rapunzel&#8221; story.</p>
<p>After being locked up for 18 years, I can&#8217;t imagine why she&#8217;d even waste precious time on a strange dude with questionable chin scruff when there is TWITTER to discover.</p>
