Sues'day!

Man breasts Metcalfe gets even more annoying





The human ken doll otherwise known as Jesse Metcalfe took it upon himself to insult the entire male population of Britain whilst stroking his own ego...

According to Contactmusic: "JESSE METCALFE has lambasted the male population of Britain for their lazy habits and poor looks. The DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star, currently dating GIRLS ALOUD singer NADINE COYLE, thinks American men look better because they are active. And Metcalfe is sure Northern Irish Nadine appreciates the work he puts into maintaining his impressive physique. Metcalfe says, "British guys don't work out. You've got to get the cardio in: I run on the treadmill, play basketball, go hiking. You (should) watch what you eat."

First off, I'm pretty sure the only "dating" Jesse is doing comprises being spanked in a pool of pudding by a Dutch bodybulider named Grendel.

Secondly, British guys might not work out as much, but they also don't have to wear overnight support bras to hold the strain of their gelatinous breasts, or have eyebrows that look like they were drawn on by a visually-impared 7 year old with a magic marker.

Cambodia: Here I Come!

I'm on my way to Cambodia and I won't be back until the 31st... Just in time for the never-ending Sports Festival practice, also known around here as the second term of the Japanese junior high school year. Unfortunately, I'm going to miss some prime matsuri time (festival season), but at least I made it to Gion Matsuri this year, even if it did rain everyday! Here's a few more images from the archives...

Actually, the rain was a good thing. Yay for Japanese umbrellas!

This little White Herron Dancer was interviewed after performing at Yasaka Shrine, but she wasn't the only one. A Gaijin's (foreigner's ) impressions of Gion Matsuri, tonight at 5! Thats what makes the news in a country with a comparatively low crime rate (^_<)

Goodbye LA! Hello LO!

So..yeah..I thought that abbreviating London to LO would make it feel
slightly more exciting and guess what...it doesn't.

I'm leaving la la land for about 6 months to finish up with school and
make preparations to come back for good..

But don't worry..Britboy in LA will carry on as usual, just give me a
few days to adjust to the jet lag and the lack of celebrities that I
will see while going for my morning coffee..

Thanks to everyone who made my first full year in the states so
enjoyable..you all know who you are! Especially Crystal the hypoglycemic
cheerleader!!!

Also, the photo is supposed to be a photo of the plane but since its
dark it probably just looks like a collection of lights...so amuse
yourself and join the dots into a whale...or a ladle..or Paris Hilton's
ass..whatever you feel like...and my posts will be back before you know
it!

Thanks again everyone, bye bye USA!

Destination Cambodia: 4 Days and counting!

Could it be?

Is that Angelina Jolie? Sadly,no. It's only me (although the resemblence is startling). I've always been a bit of a tree- hugger, but I think this sudden outburst of affection was the due to the realization that I had finally found a place where I could live out my childhood dream of being Indiana Jones. Angkor Thom, Cambodia.

The Enquirer takes it too far!

The latest issue of The National Enquirer blares the headline "Cruise
Baby disfigured"..only when you look closer does it say that Tom is
angry at claims that his baby is disfigured.

Even for me this is taking it too far...the baby's parents might be
freaks but to sell magazines by saying that a child might be disfigured
is pretty low.

They should have gone with the headline "Cruise baby is the child of L
Ron Hubbard" or "Cruise baby spotted in alien craft" I would have bought
that! Hell even go with "Cruise baby is flying rainbow turkey"...I would
have bought that too! But then I'm not all that discerning...

Rachel Bilson makes people look like giant fat trolls




Here is Rachel Bilson in Hollywood last night at the premiere of her new movie "The Last Kiss"

She is so perfect and diminutive that she makes everyone look like blimpy sideshow freaks in comparison



Freak.



Freaks.



Freaks.



Freak.



Freak.

The moral of the story is...never stand next to Rachel Bilson, unless you want to be pelted with garbage and hauled off to the circus.

Rachel McAdams feeds gloves to homeless people




Rachel McAdams makes about $10 million dollars per movie, so going by Hollywood law she should be a bitch who demands a carriage made out of ocelot fur to drive her wherever she wants to go...

But instead she rides the bus!!! I love her!





Even though we all know McAdams is ridiculously nice, this is taking it a bit far for my taste..if I ever earned enough money to never have to take the bus again I never would...who wants to sit next to a guy who is mumbling to himself and eating a pair of woolen gloves?

I wish I was joking..but that has actually happened to me..

Knowing Rachel McAdams though she would stop the bus and buy him a pair of $500 Prada gloves to munch on...she's just that kind of girl.

Nicole Beckham




Nicole Richie continues to gain some weight and muscle..is it just me or is she starting to merge into Victoria Beckham?...and only in Nicole Richie's case could that be considered a step in the right direction.

The Flower Procession: Gion Matsuri

Maiko from Miyagawa-cho being pulled through Kyoto by young men from their neighborhood.
I'm sure you're all sick of seeing pictures from Gion Matsuri, but I just can't help myself! I'll try to write more later...Until then just enjoy the view from here (^_<)

Young women carrying their hanagasa, straw hats covered with fake paper flowers, seek shelter beneath their umbrellas.

The fall of Lohan has begun!




I realise that my blog is slowly becoming the Lindsay Lohan show but what can i do? Interesting things keep happening! Her life is like a soap...perhaps Days of Our Lohan?

First her mother added fuel to the fire by responding to the letter sent to her by James G. Robinson by stating "Maybe [Robinson] has personal issues with whomever, and it came out with my child. I don't know him. I can't judge him. I don't think it was a smart thing to do to a young girl." and even better "She will win an Academy Award for this picture. ... Justice!" Um, I think not...

Now it has come to light that Lindsay has been dropped by her record label Island Records after she failed to promote her music in the UK.

A source told the Sun newspaper "The single was a huge flop over here because Lindsay couldn't be bothered to promote it," "In the end they didn't even bother releasing the album in Britain. She didn't bother to come over to the UK to do interviews or make TV appearances to help sell the album. Island have now decided not to do another one with her."

Wow! This has been a rough week for the Lohan but unfortunately that is what happens when you begin to think that you are so famous that you don't need to work hard any more!

There is really no justifiable reason for me to use a picture of Lohan in a bikini for this post....except that her record company is Island records...and lots of islands are hot...so people wear bikinis...yeah...thats why...
