George W. Bush, the forty-third president of the United States of America, will put his thoughts to paper in a new memoir. The working title of the book is Decision Points, and the AP is reporting that it should be ready for publication sometime next year.
“I want people to understand the environment in which I was making decisions,” W. said over the phone to Associated Press reporters. “I want people to get a sense of how decisions were made, and I want people to understand the options that were placed before me.”
Bush famously coined the phrase “The Decider,” a title which he gave himself in defense of his War on Terror. Evidently, the book will explain to the public just what being The Decider means - in Bush’s mind, anyway. The memoir will explore a wide range of decisions, including his vice president selection of Dick Chaney.
No financial details on the book have been released.

Joaquin Phoenix: One Joke Over the Line?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Meltdowns, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
At fist, Joaquin Phoenix’s startling announcement, appearance and actions were shocking - suddenly and without warning he grew a bushy beard and said see ya to the industry that made him a star. Upon announcing he would no longer be acting, Phoenix stated that he would now be focusing on his music.
When the media and the fans actually heard him perform, suddenly Phoenix’s act started to become funny. He won laughter when he appeared on Letterman and became a winning Oscar joke thanks to Ben Stiller a few nights later. But now, many think Phoenix is taking things way, way too far.
Did it all just stop being funny?
During a performance at the LIV club in Miami, Phoenix recently jumped off stage to confront an audience member. Reportedly, the rapper/actor had to be dragged back on stage before he was escorted out. The camera crew that’s been almost constantly at the ex-actor’s side, led by Casey Affleck, was present. The same crew accompanied Phoenix to his now-infamous Letterman appearance.

Joaquin Phoenix Talks About His Look
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Joaquin Phoenix recently made the shocking announcement that he was leaving his film career behind and subsequently began growing a wild, untended beard and letting his brown locks hang long. He also seems to be launching a new career as a rapper.
The actor offered some insight into his new look in The Sun.
“It’s been important for me to just do something that’s extreme—that really separates me from that public Joaquin Phoenix persona,” he explained. His look certainly is extreme. But then the actor-turned-something else added, “Maybe I’m just lazy.”
Many have said the Phoenix career switch-up is all a hoax, part of some sort of promotional effort for a documentary which, it’s said, is being created by Casey Affleck and Phoenix. A lackluster performance given by Phoenix seems to confirm the rumors. By the way, the video of Phoenix falling off the stage is still being bandied about the Internet.

Sanjaya Malakar, the Author
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Television, Where Are They Now?,
During his time on American Idol’s sixth season, Sanjaya Malakar enjoyed a unique sort of fame. His biggest critics said he couldn’t sing a lick - but nothing could sway his fans from their die-hard devotion. He made waves with his changing hairdo and seemingly against-the-odds run on the show…but does Malakar have a few waves to make for the series yet?
“I realized that I had a story that no other past contestant has said,” Sanjaya Malakar recently told Access Hollywood.
The realization led him to pen the autobiographical Dancing To The Music In My Head, which will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the world of Idol, told from Malakar’s point of view. A companion CD of the same name will be released at the same time.

Former president George W. Bush was greeted in Texas on Tuesday by a party of his own. Well, maybe it wasn’t exactly a party - but it was definitely a large gathering of people.
As he was cheered by joyous onlookers, Bush announced to the crowd, “the presidency was a joyous experience, but as great as it was, nothing compares with Texas at sunset.” Not even vetoing bills?
Approximately 25,000 gathered to welcome he and Laura Bush back home. “Tonight, I have the privilege of saying six words that I have been waiting to say for a while: it is good to be home,” Bush cried.

Lindsay Lohan Wants More Opportunity
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Child Stars, Where Are They Now?,
“I want to do all the things that will make me feel fulfilled. But whenever I do those things, people think it’s a press stunt or something.” This was only one of many things Lindsay Lohan said to Lauren Hutton in her new piece with Interview Magazine. The cover shows Linds making a weird face, and the interview itself is supposed to offer a more intimate look at Lohan.
However, she spends most of her time complaining about the paps. “You know, my car accident that I got into, where I got my first charge, I wouldn’t have been speeding up like I was if I didn’t have people shoving cameras in my windows,” she explained.
So…why not just drop out of the biz entirely? In later comments, Lindsay offered a little insight into her own goals. “I wanted to be a movie star,” she admitted. “But, movie stars are not what they used to be.” Sister, you’re preachin’ to the choir on that one.
“I work just as hard as any other actress around my age,” Lindsay said, “but I just don’t get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.”

Nicole Richie’s Come a Long Way
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Weddings, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Two years ago, photos of a terribly emaciated Nicole Richie in a bikini traveled all over the Internet. The skinny star was ridiculed and reported upon for her bony, unhealthy appearance, very public friendship falling out and seemingly out-of-control ways.
Today, Richie looks like the perfect picture of a healthy, happy mother. Richie is often photographed with Harlow in tow and currently is looking fabulously filled-out and fashionable. It’s a wonder what a good thirty pounds will do for a girl.
Now, the star who once seemed to have no future at all is planning a wedding, and perhaps might add even more responsibility to her motherhood role. According to gossip, Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden might be thinking of adoption. “I’m definitely not against adopting,” Madden told AskMen.com recently. “I went to the Central African Republic and fell in love with the place. If I was going to adopt, it would probably be from there.”

Katie Holmes Speaks Out On Public “Misperception”
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Where Are They Now?,
In an upcoming issue of T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Katie Holmes talks about her life and, of course, her very famous husband. In the piece, Holmes says that her public image is nothing like the truth.
“There’s a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn’t have any control of her life,” Holmes says, “and that’s pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I’ve made choices in my life that have been very strong.”
