"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Did you see him snark on Star Jones "It was a blessing that the tsunami didn't strike until I left the area!"

That was beautiful. I couldn't believe the clips they were showing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

From Sky Showbiz (UK):

**************

Poor old Jennifer Lopez, life really is a tad tough and she has oodles of dreadful things to moan about - most notably the fact that she wants to be called Jennifer and NOT J.Lo.

The singer/actress has revealed that she wants everyone to just drop the whole J.Lo thing because that's not who she is, actually.

"I'm not J.Lo, she's not a real person. She was just a bit of fun that got really crazy. I've never been anyone but Jennifer," she said.

According to the World Entertainment News Network, Ms Lopez wants to bury the reputation associated with J.Lo and just be known as Jennifer - i.e. Jenny won't do either.

Despite producing a song entitled Jenny From The Block, the star is adament that it's Jennifer from now on - well, that is until Jennifer proves to contain too many syllables to fit in a tune.

The Lopez lady is so keen to communicate this new naming demand that she almost called her latest album, Call Me Jennifer, however she dropped the catchy title in favour of Rebirth, as she explains:

"I was going to call the album 'Call Me Jennifer' because that would be my way of saying goodbye to the whole J.Lo thing. But 'Rebirth' is perfect because it means so much more."

Jennifer now joins the elite list of name-changing stars such as her ex, P. Diddy who used to be known as Puff Daddy and Brian McFadden who opted for a slight spelling change from the Bryan of Westlife that he was.

Plus there's Courteney Cox who reverted to this after a brief dalliance as Courteney Cox Arquette until she presumably decided that including her husband's name made signing autographs quite a lengthy process and then there's Liz (Elizabeth if you please) Hurley who gets very shirty about being called Liz by those who are not her buddies.

She should talk to the Olsen Twins about that preferred name crap. Be happy people talk about you or call you anything. You hear that Marky Mark. and I'm looking at you too Ricky Schroeder.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

One should be grateful to have a Funky Bunch. I don't have a Funky Bunch. I've worked my whole life, I pay my taxes, I abide the law. And yet, no Funky Bunch. Some are truly blessed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If Mr. Wahlberg still has a funky bunch, I do not want to know about it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm not J.Lo, she's not a real person.

And Hillbillies want to be called Sons of the South, but it ain't gonna happen. t /Dr. Hibbard

I'll also point out thet the FREAKING lable of her clothing line is J.LO by Jennifer Lopez. Yeah, she is really distancing herself from that nickname.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

By the way, BF was at press days at the LA Car Show yesterday and got to say hi to Q and Ish from "Pimp My Ride," who he said seemed genuinely pleased a 40-year-old guy knew who they were and told them he was a fan, and also seemed to be as nice as they do on the show.

He also saw Jeff Probst and Julie!Former Survivor. He almost didn't recognize Jeff in non-safari gear.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

As long as they don't want to be called Connie, I have no problem with public people who want to change their names.
