This week's blind vice. Hash Bilk makes me laugh. He makes me cry. And it turns out Hash makes himself laugh. And cry. And maybe even get the munchies and devour whole bags of potato chips. After all, that's what many folks do when they get stoned. Getting stoned is nothing mega, I know. As one bigwig agent chick blabbed to me earlier this week, "Everyone loves [certain sweetie-poo star]. She's just a sweet, nice pothead." I, for one, contest this statement and point to a certain hemp-hyper as Captain Ganja of Malibu, but alas, we're digressing. And I'm not even stoned! Anyway, here's when firing up the joint does become big news: when you do it at the office. And that's exactly what H.B., a major exec and talent, is doing. He even had a special ventilated-office annex built. You know, a smoky little hideaway where he can puff and giggle all he wants without some evil, aspiring CEO sniffing him out. Smart, Hash, I just hope you're careful about who you bring in that room with ya. It makes sense to me that Mr. B. likes to smoke up on the company turf. I mean, his movies can be daring. Why should it be any surprise that he is, too? And he's so talented that I've often wondered what's the secret to his success. But who knew the secret would smell like patchouli? Not me, for one. ..and it is not Tom Cruise, Steven Spielberg, or Mel Gibson.

Two votes for Tarantino. His eyes always look as if they are rolling about in his head, and he has this habit of giggling like a schoolboy.

Glitter jailed for abusing girls Former British rock star Gary Glitter has been jailed for three years after a Vietnamese court found him guilty of sexually abusing two young girls. The court found that Glitter, real name Paul Gadd, had molested the girls, aged 11 and 12, at his home in the resort town of Vung Tau, southern Vietnam. The 61-year-old, who insisted he was innocent, said the "unbelievable" verdict was part of a "conspiracy". In addition to the prison sentence, Glitter has been ordered to pay 5m Vietnamese dong (£180/$315) to his victims' families. During the two-day trial, most of which was held behind closed doors, he was said to have committed a series of "lewd" acts while the girls were at his beach house in Vung Tau. Sentencing Glitter, Judge Hoang Thanh Tung said: "His lewd acts have compromised the dignity of the Vietnamese people, law and common sense, and therefore it is necessary to punish him." The judge later told reporters he believed Glitter understood he had "a sickness".

I don't know if Emma Thompson has had any surgery or if it's just her haircut/hair color, but she looks so terrific today on Oprah. Especially when compared to clips they showed of her from a few years ago.

Does anyone else remember her wonderful performance in Henry V as the French princess? All she spoke was French in which she is fluent. That was the first time I had ever seen her. I didn't know who she was, but I was smitten with her and have never been disappointed in anything she has done.

OK I don't know what Paris has been smoking but whatever it is, I think we all want some!!!: Paris Hilton: Someone needs to sit the socie celeb down and give her a lesson on the business facts of life. According to the UK's FemaleFirst, Hilton thinks she is as good an actress as Charlize Theron, who won the Best Actress Oscar for Monster. She was quoted as saying, "My acting coach told me I have a similar style of acting to her, so we may end up vying for the same parts." Hilton must have misunderstood. I can believe he said that she can be a monster at times, but a Theron ... not in my lifetime. LINK

Not really Hollywood at all but... Bjorn Borg to auction off Wimbledon trophies link Swedish tennis great Bjorn Borg will auction off his five Wimbledon trophies and two of his rackets to achieve "financial security," an auction house said Friday. Borg, the only player to win five consecutive Wimbledon titles, will put his trophies on the block at the Bonhams auction house in London on June 21. The trophies, which will be sold together, are expected to fetch between $350,000 and $525,000, Bonhams said. [...] "Obviously, it is not easy to part with the trophies that symbolize all the tremendous effort, both physically and emotionally, that it took to win Wimbledon on five occasions," he said in a statement. "However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me."

How sad that Bjorn has to auction off his Wimbledon trophies! But boy if I had an extra $500,000 lying around I'd snap one up ... it's a part of tennis history!!

Maybe Bjorn had a penchant for cocaine and hookers after he got out of tennis. It's sad, but then the rational side of me wonders why he isn't charging some rich kids in Florida to coach them in tennis. Isn't that what almost every elite athlete ends up doing after retiring?

I don't think it was cocaine or hookers but Bjorn retired awfully early, I think there was some alimony or palimony situation and tennis players made a pittance then compared to what they make now. It is really sad. I'd wish that some tennis players WITH resources could buy them and possibly put them at the Tennis Hall of Fame, if they didn't give them back to Borg.

I came across an interview Bjorn Borg did with a Swedish newspaper yesterday. He thinks it's funny that there are rumors circulating that he is broke, because, according to him, his business has never been better. Evidently his clothing line is going really well and he continues to open more stores. In regard to selling his trophies he said that he's won so much in his life and holding on to every little piece is getting to be too much. He figures if somebody really wants the trophies he will sell them, if not he will keep them. He is planning on giving some of the proceeds to charity (if they sell) By the way, Borg is currently on vacation in Dubai with his wife, their son, and her two children from a previous marriage LINK PS. It's in Swedish...
