Manolo says, No, no, Paris Hilton. This is Halloween, when you are supposed to dress the opposite of how you really are.
But, special props for getting Don King as your date.
Manolo says, featuring the highest Bollywood production values and the most amusing lyrics you will ever see.
PLUMCAKE: You know an outfit is bad when your first thought is, “Is Jodie Foster doing a line for the softer side of Sears?”
SPIRIT FINGERS: There’s a site where you can submit these sort of pics. I think it’s called womenwhodresslikeoldanchormen.blogspot.com
MANOLO: Somewhere, Sappho is weeping.
Manolo says, remember this, from ten years ago?
Why did you finally decide to change your name to Deborah?
When I called myself Debbie initially, it was because everyone else was uncomfortable calling me Deborah. So I went, “Well, let me make everyone feel comfortable.” But I didn’t feel comfortable because anyone who’s ever known me has always called me Deborah. It’s kind of where I feel I’ve reached my limit and I want to say, ‘You know what? My name is Deborah.” I just feel it’s more representative of what I’m doing now, and the whole thing that goes along with getting older, being more comfortable with yourself.
Apparently the name ‘Deborah’ is more representative of women who look like they have careers performing show tunes on board discount cruise ships.
Manolo says, the mostly benign Hollywood lunatic, Shirley MacLaine, has revealed that leprechaun-like Ohio Congressman, and 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has received instructions from his UFO mothership.
Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has seen a UFO, writes Shirley MacLaine in her new book, “Sage-Ing While Age-Ing.”
Kucinich, she writes on page143-144 of the book, “had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there. Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. It hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn’t comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind.”

MacLaine is a well-known believer of UFOs and reincarnation. And she’s been close to Kucinich for decades. MacLaine is the godmother of Kucinich’s daughter and attended Kucinich’s 2005 Cleveland wedding to third wife, Elizabeth, who’s often campaigning by his side.
Well, who hasn’t seen the rose-smelling UFO while staying at Shirley MacLaine’s house?
Manolo says, the Manolo, who spends part of each year living in the ‘Bu, watched with distress yesterday as the Malibu Canyon Fire crept perilously close to his summer place.
Happily for the Manolo, disaster was averted. Sadly, this was not the case for the owners of the Malibu’s famous Kashan Castle, which was burned to the ground by the fast moving fire. Disastrously, the castle was said to be in escrow, with the final walk through to be conducted this Wednesday.
Malibu Castle, which perished in today’s fire, was actually in Escrow and set to have the final walk-through on Wednesday.
The deal was expected to close this Friday, and while the final selling price can’t be confirmed, it had an asking price of $17 million.
This is especially bad news for celebrity realtor, Scotty Brown, one of the stars of Bravo TV’s reality show, Million Dollar Listing, who had the listing on this very expensive piece of property.
Described by selling agent Scotty Brown as a “real entertainer’s paradise for the truly unique”, The Castle in Malibu sits on its own private knoll, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. There are six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, garaging for eight cars and a pool.
The Manolo is especially sorry to hear this, as he once spent the very pleasant afternoon chatting amiably with Scotty, whom he found to be the perfect example of the hail-fellow-well-met.
P.S. More about the Castle Kashan from the Real Estalker Blog
Manolo says, once again, America’s dimmest rock star, Kid Rock, has had the brush with the law.
Police said Ritchie [Kid Rock] was finishing up a post-show meal at a Waffle House on Buford Highway about 5:15 a.m. Sunday when a customer recognized a woman in his entourage and began exchanging words with her.
Ritchie joined in the altercation, which soon escalated into a physical fight between the rocker and the man, Harlem DeJon Akins, 39.
Soon, five other men in his entourage — including the guitarist and the bass player in his band, Twisted Brown Trucker — jumped into the fray, and the fight spilled from inside the restaurant into the parking lot, said police spokeswoman Mekka Parish.
When the brawl ended, Ritchie and his group got into their tour bus and left the scene. An officer pulled the bus over at Buford Highway and Lenox Road, and all five men were booked into jail on the misdemeanor battery charge.
Few phrases in the English language are as indicative of the depressing condition of modern pop culture as the words “Kid Rock and his entourage at the Waffle House”.
Manolo says, Left: Donatella Versace.
Right: What she would look like without the plastic surgery
PLUMCAKE: Just like the commercial says, “Double your pleather, double your fun.”
SPIRIT FINGERS: Bootsy refers to it as P-Leather, a squeakier soundin’, more synthetic feelin’ version of P-Funk.
MANOLO: What the outfit really needs is the walking stick, one with the giant, 900-carat cubic zirconium knob on the end.
PLUMCAKE: Fun fact: prior July 4, 1960 Bootsy’s entire outfit only had 48 stars.
Manolo says, and in today’s news comes this report about the budding philanthropist, Paris Hilton.
Next month, she flies to Africa with the children’s charity Playing for Good for a five-day humanitarian mission visiting schools and health-care clinics.
The socialite, currently in Toronto shooting a film called “Repo! The Genetic Opera!” in which she plays an heiress addicted to plastic surgery, admits she is worried about the trip.
“I’m scared, yeah. I’ve heard it’s really dangerous,” she tells Newsweek.
“I’ve never been on a trip like this before.”
Unsurprisingly, the visit will be filmed.
“I love having everything documented,” says Hilton, who hopes to turn the footage for a reality show called The Philanthropist that will also feature other celebrities.
The philanthropic celebrity reality show? Pure genius!
Nothing says, “selfless charity” quite like going to Africa with your new best friends, Flavor Flav, Ron Jeremy, and that crazy chick from Survivor.
Manolo says, for Pete Doherty this sort of thing usually takes place entirely in his head.
Manolo says, Sir Richard Branson grabs his thinking parts after the promotional stunt goes awry.
The 57-year-old had planned to plummet from the top of the Palms Casino Hotel, Las Vegas, in a harness to promote Virgin America, a new airline offering domestic flights in the US.
But as he took a running jump from the roof, where he was attached to a cable, the stunt backfired.
Instead of gliding smoothly to the ground, he had a rather more bumpy ride as he tried to pull airline tickets out of his pocket and scatter them among the onlookers on the ground.
But then the stunt turns into a bum deal when Branson crashes into the wall and his trousers split, forcing him to cover his modesty with his hand
Sir Richard smashed his bottom twice into the building and, as the colour drained from his face, clearly began to realise something was amiss - or rather, missing - from his person.
Clamping his hands to his seatless trousers, he landed and made a hasty exit.
