Do Tiger, Jesse Suffer from The Madonna/Whore Complex?
ARE TIGER WOODS AND JESSE JAMES afflicted with the Madonna/Whore complex?
As the marital dramas play out between Tiger and wife Elin Nordegren, and James and Sandra Bullock, similarities between the couples suggest that both men might have psychological problems being intimate with the women they love.
In the simplest language, men who suffer from the Madonna/whore complex are sexually incapable of sexually loving their “good” wives due to their underlying belief that sex is debasing. To meet their sexual needs, these men pursue the "whore"’ with whom, once they have sex, is never good enough for marriage.
"In the mind of the sufferer, love and sex cannot be mixed…" according to Wikipedia. "He will reserve sexuality for "bad" or "dirty" women, and will not develop "normal" feelings of love in these sexual relationships.

DIRTY SEXXY MONEY
Sext Messages: Dirty Coin In The New Realm
THE INTERNET WAS A STICKY WIDGET this week with spillage from affairs of the rich and famous gone bad. Now it's official: Sexting is the new coin in the realm.
Notorious porn star and Tiger sex toy Joslyn James went Rambo and launched an Internet archive documenting sext messages Eldridge sent her. The texts include the most intimate language imaginable between whore and the world's most famous john. James appears to hold nothing back from a prying public: To wit: "I want you to beg for my cock. Kiss you all over to convince me to let you have it in your mouth." There's much more for those interested.
Then Sandra Bullock's creepy husband is exposed as slimy two-timer when tattoo model Michelle McGee tells In Touch that she's had a year-long affair with the reality TV star. The tabloid releases a press release touting Jesse James' text messages to McGee, which so far pale compared to Tiger's dirty talk.
Reports surface that McGee received $30,000 for her story and texts.
Perhaps not coincidentally, in a 2009 online study entitled, "Sexting…Is It All About Power?" carried out by RealPsychology.com, researchers concluded that "as a whole, sexters were more likely to strive for power and control than non-sexters."
And sexters with high "power profile" scores had "a strong desire for power, and may often take control in an abrasive or aggressive manner," according to the site.
The week's events bolster those claims.

Good Bye, Lacey Brown
IDOL JUDGES GOT THEIR "WOW'' FACTOR WHEN KE$HA PERFORMED HER HIT Blah Blah Blah backed by TV boxheads.
But you're here to find out which of yesterday's mediocre performers is going home. And the lucky person to escape this sinking ship is Lacey Brown, a pastor's daughter from Texas who sings Brandi Carlile's The Story as her swan song.
Lacey loses out to Paige and Tim, who get to stay another week trying to prove that they're entitled to the crown.
The judges' could have saved Lacey but none thought she was worthy. "It was unanimous, and unfortunately, no, we won't be using it," Cowell said flatly.
One more week down before the next Idol is crowned.
So far, who's your favorite? Who are you betting to win it all?

Read My Lipstick: "This Is Stupid"
OH, THE LENGTHS WOMEN WILL GO TO PROVOKE FOREPLAY.
A California company sells lipstick that purportedly changes color when the wearer's feeling randy.
The Mood Swing Emotionally Activated Lip Gloss goes for $18.50 a tube and is sold with a color chart so would-be paramours can gauge the best moment to make their play. Natch.
I can't figure out who'd buy this other than girls who are really, really unsure of themselves. Or, in the alternative best case scenario, those who like to play bedroom guessing games with their beaus.
"This is the ultimate date ice-breaker," Dating Expert Lorraine Adams told the U.K.'s Sun, who acknowledges, "Using it every day could get embarrassing. Would you really want the man on the bus to know if you'e turned on?"

Big Mike singing Miss You is the first up, delivering a lively if not great performance.

Incidentally, On Reality TV...
ON BRAVO'S WATCH WHAT HAPPENS, we found out that NeNe Leakes thinks Kim is gay for payday. And she and Jill insist that Big Poppa is still very much in the picture.
THE OH-SO-LONELY Countess LuAnn has been palling around with a much younger boyfriend and acting badly at parties. She's also sharing her etiquette tips over at OK magazine.
SOME RANDOM GUY NAMED GEORGE PAGE is suing Bravo for airing clips of him speed-dating Sheree. You can see a clip of the date on TMZ. Does he really think anyone has any real interest in that clip? Does he? Really?
STILL NEED PROOF THAT these women weren't friends before the show? An interview with Lynne Curtin on Show Tracker.
AND GREAT NEWS AT Entertainment Weekly.com. Bravo announces the return of The Fashion Show and Tabitha's Salon Takeover along with 5 new shows including a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Also in development is a reality show that follows So You Think You Can Dance choreographer Mia Michaels. So awesome.

Rielle Hunter: The Crazy At The Center Of A Storm
FOUR YEARS AFTER SHE HAD HIM AT HELLO, GQ delivers a revealing interview with the crazy at the center of John Edwards' storm.
Rielle Hunter, who turns 46 March 20th, invites a reporter over for a sleepover, confides details of her deceitful two-year sexual liaison with a presidential candidate who's wife has cancer, poses seductively on the resulting love child's twin bed with Kermit, Dora, Barney and a hoot owl, then cries "repulsive" when the pictures go meta.
The media had a field day Monday mocking Hunter's witless blunder. The Boston Herald snaps "Really Rielle? Get Your Pants On!" while Wonkette cracks, "RIELLE HUNTER IS NOW SAD! Jesus, did she think they'd Photoshop some pants onto her?"

A HOT WAX MESS
Bad Gay Glam Rock: A RuPaul's Drag Race Recap
RAVEN LAMENTS THE LOSS OF MORGAN BUT WHAT SHE REALLY FEELS IS, hey, one mo ho down. Tyra's thinking about the bad blood that still runs between her and Tatty when Ru's She-Mail announces a rock and roll night.
Ru enters the workroom in black cycle gear. The mini-challenge: styling a wig into rock chick hair in 30 minutes. Tatty's worried and Juju wants to win her first challenge. Lots of teasing and gluing and 29 minutes later we see the most horrible creations known to man in hair. Tyra, who seems to know nothing before the advent of Beyoncé, calls hers Sasha Fierce. Sigh. And Raven rocks a rocker mom. Tatty says her girl got completely trashed and her wig definitely is. Ru says Sahara's is too subtle, and Pandora's is Mustang Sally.
Jessica used some green hair and says hers is modeled on Jem. Ah, no.
Juju begins her story by telling Ru her girl was shopping for deli meats when Ru stops her and asks when she lost control of her wig. And the winner: Pandora with her less ugly hot mess, I guess.
For the main challenge the he-ladies will transform themselves into hot rocker chicks using their own drag. Ru commands them to take it up to 11.

Same Backstabbing, Different Coast: New York Housewives Return
THE NEW SEASON OF THE NEW YORK HOUSEWIVES BEGINS WHERE THEIR O.C. SISTERS LEFT OFF -- with a girls trip gone bad.
Ramona rents a yacht and invited all her girlfiends out. Alex, Jill and LuAnn attend and Alex is shocked at Ramona's warm welcome after all the shit talking she does about her. Everyone's having drinks and fun when LuAnn brings up a remark she overhead from Mario. It seems he called her "Countless." Which really is kinda true since she now is Count less. Since it really isn't the time or place for it Ramona goes off and accuses her of being rude and wanting to ruin her outing. Jill jumps in, Ramona feels attacked and flees to go cry and hang out inside with her other "real" girlfriends. The trip ends with hugs and champagne but hurt feelings remain.
From her reaction, Bethenny told Jill the worst thing she's ever heard: "You need to get a hobby."

Gay Fantasia On Ice: Johnny Weir Proposes Touring Show With Lady GaGa
THE FANTASTIC MR. FOXY Johnny Weir doesn't need no stinkin' Stars on Ice gig. That's for little girls and sparkly boy-wannabes. The fabulous Johnny's got bigger dreams: His own touring ice show with the Lady Gah!
Just days after reports hit the web that Weir was denied a spot on the U.S.'s only figure skating tour because he wasn't "family friendly," Johnny confirmed to Access Hollywood that the rumors were true.
"It is for real. I've never been invited to do Star on Ice before," Johnny told Billy Bush. "It's disappointing that I can't perform for my American fans…
all because I'm not 'family friendly' enough."

WHATEVER 'IT' IS
How Do You Define S E X?
SO THIS COLUMN IS ABOUT SEX, RIGHT? Seems simple enough.
But really, what IS sex?
Of course, there is the umbrella of "sex," under which everything sexual in nature resides. But when you say you "had sex with someone," what does that mean?
Before some heady examination, one may think it's as simple as the baseball paradigm of bases, ending with, naturally, p-in-vahgee intercourse. This is much too basic, much too trite, and -- as I've found in various conversations -- has meanings that are incredibly skewed from person to person.
I personally have always thought that first base was making out, second was HJs, third was BJs, and when you reached home plate -- intercourse -- you were able to say you'd "had sex" with someone.
Of course, it is NEVER that simple. The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, named after the vaunted sexologist Alfred C., asked 204 men and 282 women their definition of the term "had sex."

LIFE IMITATES PRODUCT
Lady Gaga Blurs Life & Art For Sake Of The Sale
IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLOT:
Lady Gack goes to L.A. Airport for an international flight wearing a tulle veil and dark shades and refuses to remove them for security, prompting a full body search and provoking bondage fantasies for her fans.
And it all happens just in time for the release of her new video!
Telephone, featuring Beyoncé, made its web debut Thursday, prompting Gaga's little monsters to slobber and wet their panties.
The video depicts Lady G being tossed into a prison cell and stripped searched by two butch prison guards. But she's not incarcerated for too long before Honey B shows up, bails her out and steers the Pussy Wagon on a murderous road trip.
The 9:22 video is cliche wrapped in camp shrouded in homage to 70s Blackspoitation, made-for-TV lesbian prison flicks, feminist outlaws Thelma & Louise and Quentin Tarantino.
"I told you she didn't have a dick,'' says one jailer after tossing Gags in a cell and strip searching her. "Too bad,'' says a second.
And with those quips, Gaga responds to the wags who've taken to publicly groping her privates with their tongues looking for a penis. But is it mere coincidence or something more when, seven minutes in, the refrain I don't want to talk anymore increasingly begins to sound like "I don't want to tuck anymore?"

SURPRISE ENDING
American Idol Pours On The Heartbreak
BOO AND BOO HOO!
Americans' sent home four performers last night and it's night's like these that makes you think the vote is rigged.
First to go is Katelyn Epperly. I was happy to see her go since she hasn't wowed me this year. Apparently the judges are looking for people with "wow" factors and Katelyn doesn't have it.
Then Todrick Hall gets the boot. I thought he did a great job and he moved the audience. But I guess he didn't "wow" America and wasn't memorable enough to get votes.
Then Alex "Mullet" Lambert gets cut -- but still not the one he needs!

O.C.'s Real Housewives' Leftovers Leave Bitter Aftertaste
AS IF WE HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH, BRAVO SERVES UP ANOTHER DOSE OF BATHOS WITH BACK-TO-BACK "Reunion" shows of the O.C.'s Housewives. Didn't the season just end?
Of course, we can never see enough squabbling between husband and wife (Tamra and Simon), mother and daughter (Lynne and Alexa), friend and spouse (Vicki and Simon). So we get to see it all again!!
And there's never enough time to illustrate how slippery slimey Slade Smiley actually is. (Try saying that five times!)
We discover that Gretchenis singing now as well as producing a makeup line. I heard a little bit of her song. Meh. She brought Vicki's jaw to the ground when she tells us she bought Jo's music catalog. Yes, Jo of Jo and Slime. Of course, I'm sure she was urged on by Slime; how else would she know it was available?

Looking Askance At The Hairy Eyeballs Dissing Mo'Nique's Unshaved Legs
LEAVE US ALONE!
Who are we? We're women who don't shave our legs. And -- surprise -- we're even happy!
We have boyfriends and husbands and even win Oscars.
It's kinda funny that Mo'Nique keeps having to defend her hairiness to the world. I guess she, like me, grew up without that stigma. We're about the same skin color, and her legs are much hairier than mine, but I'll stand with girlfriend any day.
I remember that it took years for Nair to have a black chick in one of its commercials. The models were still all white in the '80s.
When I was young, I never thought that Nair was for me or anyone I knew.

Wow! You're smokin' on the upcoming cover of W magazine posing with fake lover Gerard Butler. I'm praying you two got sweaty and did the nasty right in front of photographer Steven Klein, the same snapper who recorded Mr. and Mrs. Smith playing dress up back in 2005. That way he can bear witness to the world, vouch that you've got a bit of your own sexual fire, even if ex-beau John Mayer didn't coin a term for you.
Girlfriend, I'm gonna give it to you straight: It's time to jump on the stick and start making baby. You just celebrated your 41st, and yeah, you've got lots of green. But even with all of LaLaLand's magic, you can't turn ovaries into fangirls and have them swoon at your command.

VIVA LA BETTY!
Fans Win! Betty White To Host SNL!
BETTY! BETTY! BETTY!
It's all over but the shoutin': Betty White confirmed to People that she will indeed guest host NBC's Saturday night comedy staple. "I don't know why or how," she says of the grassroots campaign for her to get the gig, "but it's been wonderful."
Chalk a win up for the Internets, who ignited a groundswell of support on Facebook for the comedy maven to appear on the show. The idea was borne after White appeared in a Snickers commercial that aired during the Super Bowl.
When I first visited the page, the number of supporters was 10,000. Then 331,000. Then 400,000. And just minutes ago, the number was just shy of 485,000.
Internet chatter says that because White is 88-year-old, other SNL ladies of comedy Molly Shannon, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler could shoulder some of the load, but Lorne Michaels has denied that claim.

Meet Arthur Kade, Aspiring Most-Hated Man In America
SINCE I HAIL FROM PHILLY, PART OF MY BLOGGING GIG IS TO SCRUTINIZE EVERY 30-something dark-haired, sharp-nosed douchebag I come across hoping to land a sighting of Arthur Kade.
Well, it hasn't happened yet and I don't think I could stomach it if it did. If you don't know Kade, he's a wannabe nominated by Gawker as "Douchebag of the Decade." He lost -- to Joe Francis of the Girls Gone Wild franchise, unquestionably a bigger douche.
But Arthur's still striving. Here's a little piece by Philly filmmaker Aymar Jean Christian that is highly amusing and a great take on the Kade phenom. Done documentary style with commentary from Philly editors, the short film showcases Kade in all his awesome obnoxious famewhoreness, proving once and for all that Kade is a legend in his own mind. Enjoy.

Standout of the night: Inglourious Basterds star Diane Kruger looking beguiling in a cream and black ruffled gown. I don't care what the Fugly girls say, she gets my vote.
Rachel McAdams shimmers in muted blue and violet sleeveless gown with flowing skirt. Her lack of jewelry punctuated her and the gown's beauty.
Meryl Streep looks stately in a simple white gown. Queen Latifa looked a long way from Newark, N.J. in a stunning satin mauve dress that had one baubled silver sleeve.
Kathryn Bigelow looked like a winner in a sleek gray silver gown dress. And Kate Winslet as usual gets high marks for her shimmering silver gown and eyepopping bling.
And so now I crown them winners of the red carpet!

WIPE OUT
The Riddle Of The Dinosaurs Solved 65 Million Years Later, Maybe
IT'S OFFICIAL: AN ASTEROID REALLY DID LEAD TO THE DEMISE OF DINOSAURS and possibly created the conditions that allowed humans to evolve.
After a 20 year review of literature, a team of international scientists has concluded that a massive asteroid that hit Mexico triggered a calamity that decimated Earth's living creatures.
"These terrifying events led to darkness and a global winter, resulting in the extinction of more than 70 percent of known species,'' wrote Dr. Penny Barton, who coauthored the review. "The tiny shrew-like mammals which were around at that time proved better adapted to survival than the cumbersome dinosaurs, and the removal of these dominant animals paved the way for the radiation of the mammals and eventual emergence of humans on Earth."

In their limo, Tamra and Simon continue to argue about Vicki's influence on their marriage. He still insists that Vicki's changed Tamra and Tamra still insists she hasn't. He thinks Tamra's not treating him with respect. The talk then turns to their lack of money, uh oh, a bad detour. It ends when she calls him an asshole, says fuck you and asks for a divorce.
