So we're the only people here at this backpackers in Victoria Falls, and we'd like to go and see this wonder of the world, but we've run into a problem. Well two problems. Two very big problems.The thing is, we were kinda stupid. Before we left Botswana, we failed to get the two essentials you just cannot get in Zimbabwe. Cash. And gas. Fuck. We had just enough gas to get us back to Botswana and fill up, but we really had no money. The thing is, Zimbabwe's currency is absolutely whack, depreciating in value at a rate of ...

Fenton Bailey is still in the Arab Emirates and sending reports: For the past week Dubai has been shrouded in a strange hot fog, like something out of a Stephen King novel. While it's tempting to blame all the construction for the perma haze, the official explanation is that it's dust from neighboring Iraq. Now that the dust is settling, it's getting really really really hot. ...

I figure some of you want to know about how the wedding went down yesterday. But you gotta wait, for my version at least, because I'm writing about it for the "L.A. Weekly." It's just not a real marriage if you can't figure out a way to make money off of it.Meanwhile, e_ticket posted some pics of us from yesterday. And I know that the Reverend Xtreem Aaron took a few while we were waiting for AAA to come rescue us late yesterday afternoon. Post-post-wedding, on our way to e_tic's brother's house (for use of his pool), one ...

I was a pretty big fan of George Carlin, the man was usually witty and able to cut right to the heart of a matter. While he was best at angry, cynical sarcasm, he also showed a skill with language that let him also sneak in some additional snark (see his appearance on Coundown where he called it — and I’m paraphrasing — the best fifty minutes of news on cable TV, subtle insulting the last part of the show that usually focuses on some celebrity gossip). Early this morning I was working on an AfterElton post and the news came ...

Okay, episode two of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List started off kinda rough, but without fail she pulled it all together and it was comedy gold.At about 2:40 is when this clip REALY takes off. You HAVE to watch her confessionals. At 4:10 it is PURE brilliance! I laughed till I cried.I'm still trying to figure out what's up with Tom's eyes (SHUT UP! I KNOW) but I'm super excited about this week's episode where she goes to Australia (as hostess of Air New Zealand's FIRST EVER 'Pink' Flight) for Sydney's Gay Mardi Gras! Here's a little ...

So we've arrived in Zimbabwe from Botswana. The drive was quite long, but we are looking forward to seeing Victoria Falls. We are staying at a backpacker here, and not surprisingly, there aren't many other people here at the moment. Tourism in this country has greatly diminished as political strife continues to rise. More on that later. But for now... it's funny to note that when we got here, the staff told us that we should absolutely not leave the premises at night. No, it's not the fear of crime we should worry about, but the possibility of meeting ...

Sunny Anderson is one of the newest additions to the Food Network family. Her current show “Cooking For Real” is in it’s first season and she is already branching out to a 2nd show - “How’d That Get on My Plate”. Her style is very much like the “sunny” disposition of another Food Network star, Rachael Ray. On other Food Network news, it appears that Alton Brown with his famed show “Good Eats” will focus more on sustainability and being “green” in future episodes of Good Eats. He still is commentator on Iron Chef America and has ...

there's more bad news coming in about my beloved amy winehouse - her father mitch winehouse announced that his daughter is suffering from emphysema and could be confined to a wheelchair while using an oxygen mask if she doesn't quit doing drugs - he said to think this could be my beautiful 24-year-old daughter's life is preposterous. but if drugs mean more to her than breathing properly, then so be it. but the doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her. he also warned ...

After hobnobbing at the Versace summer fashion show during Milan Fashion Week on Saturday with the likes of Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson, Dominic Cooper, Tom Ford, Rupert Everett, Anna Wintour, Jay Fielden, and Donatella Versace and her daughter Allegra, 300 meat pie Gerard Butler was seen the next day seated next to Wintour in the front row at the Dolce & Gabbana show, wearing a tie he probably had planned to accessorize with the suit he wore the day before until one of his people advised him against it.

Despite Apple's attempts at banning adult content from all official iPhone applications, users are on the verge of creating and distributing iPhone porn applications that will make blogger Jason Swifter's dream a thing of reality: "I wish there was an application that allowed you to undress people by dragging your fingers across the screen and literally dragging it off."  See why porn purveyors feel the iPhone as a dream come true. MICHAEL IAN BLACK: HELP ME DEFEAT DAVID SEDARISIn a desperate attempt to dismantle that "mo-fo David Sedaris's lock on all things 'best-selling,'" Michael Ian Black is putting ...
