Noriko Sakai is in More Trouble and You Still Don't Know Her

It's nice to see that Japan is no different than the U.S. in that their pop stars go from extremely popular to drugged out losers. Noriko Sakai is the latest example according to Reuters:

A Japanese singer-actress famous in Asia for her sweet, girl-next-door image was given a suspended jail sentence on Monday for using illegal stimulants in the latest celebrity drugs case in Japan.

The court handed down an 18-month jail term, suspended for three years, to 38-year-old Noriko Sakai, who shot to fame in the late 1980s with pop songs and later turned to acting.

So why am I writing about Japanese pop star news? Because American pop stars are being severe letdowns recently by staying under control and not doing anything retarded. Fortunately, I think I have one Japanese reader who accidentally found this site while searching for hentai, so he's probably very pleased with this story right now.

NFL Great Lawrence Taylor Gets Arrested

If you know anything about American football, then you know who Lawrence Taylor is. Alternatively, if you know anything about Dancing with the Stars, you probably know who Lawrence Taylor is...because, for some reason, former NFL players just love dancing on that show. But anyway, Lawrence was arrested according to TMZ:

He was one of the fastest linebackers of all time ... but NFL Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was arrested Sunday night after cops say he booked it from the scene of an accident.

Taylor, who recently competed on "Dancing with the Stars," was arrested in Dade County, Florida at 9:57 PM for "leaving scene of an accident/property damage."

Taylor was brought to a local police station, where he was booked, smiled for a mug shot, and was eventually released on $500 bond.

$500 bond? That's like 46 cents to the normal person, so this wasn't much of an arrest for Lawrence. In fact, I don't even know why I'm writing about this. Maybe he'll do something more newsworthy like kill someone or at least rob a casino. Let's hope so.

Katrina Bowden: Don't Forget the Name

If you've ever seen 30 Rock, then you've probably seen Katrina Bowden make an appearance, mostly to make fun of Tina Fey for something other than her scar. That would just be mean. But anyway, I am pretty confident you'll see her in a lot more stuff soon because she's extraordinarily attractive. Definitely not because she's a good actress because she kinda sucks, but that's never mattered before, so whatever.

Trashy McTrashenstein is Still Walking Around

Here's Britney Spears looking like an angry mother of 2 storming into the welfare center to demand her check. She happens to be followed by some guy who clearly wishes he was a secret service agent but is settling for Britney's personal bodyguard. He should probably be content because shielding someone from camera flashes is a little easier than bullets. That's what I heard anyway.

Kristin Cavallari at the Breeder's Cup Winner's Circle

I have no idea what the Breeder's Cup Winner's Circle is, but I'm going to guess it has to do with horses and not breeding with Kristin Cavallari. At least I hope not or else I'm really sorry I decided to stay here in my underwear all day long instead of attending. Speaking of that, it's exactly what I'm going to do for the next 3 days, so have a good weekend.

Rihanna Says Chris Brown had No Soul in his Eyes - Huh?

Rihanna's interview with ABC's Good Morning America about the beating she took from ex-boyfriend Chris Brown sure is revealing some interesting stuff:

Rihanna on Friday described the horror she felt as her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown was biting and punching her during a violent argument in February, saying she saw "no soul in his eyes."

"There was no person when I looked at him," the 21-year-old singer recalled during the second installment of an interview airing on ABC's "Good Morning America." "He had no soul in his eyes. Just blank."

In fairness to Chris, I don't think I've ever seen a soul in anyone's eyes. Can you even see a soul? I always thought it was like an invisible spirit that followed you around, not like a kidney or a lung. Rihanna and I just disagree on everything. It's so frustrating.

Elton John is Gonna Live

If you're a big fan of Elton John, and we all are, you'll be happy to know he didn't die. He seems to have recovered from his infections and other things that try to kill people according to Reuters:

British singer Elton John left hospital on Thursday after being treated for a serious case of e-coli bacterial infection and influenza that forced him to cancel a string of concerts, his representative said on Thursday.

Spokesman Gary Farrow said the pop star known for hits including "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and "Rocket Man" was "fine", and he planned to join singer/songwriter Billy Joel on stage on November 14.

Let this be a stark reminder that Elton John will die. So will Bruce Springstein and Richard Simmons and Peyton Manning. The only person who has an outside shot of living forever is John Madden, but that isn't looking too good either. We'll see.
