Grooch | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 08:52 am     Cowell's 'plop idol' protest Simon Cowell has come out against plans to build sewage works on countryside where he walks his pet poodle Prancy. Cowell is fighting the water company which is planning the work near his mother Julie's home in Ovingdean, East Sussex. In a letter to Southern Water he describes himself as a "temporary resident" of Ovingdean and warns he will use his "strong connections" to prevent it being built. He writes: "I cannot believe you are even considering putting a centre in such a prominent area, especially next door to the historical Roedean School. "As you may or may not be aware, I do have my own television programme (Pop Idol) being shown here and the States and I have very strong connections with both national and local newspapers and if necessary would be prepared to voice my concern to the media over this matter." Chairman of the Campaign for Ovingdean Against Sewage Treatment (Coast), Robert Mojab said: "Simon, like others, likes to use it to walk his dog when he comes home. The prospect of walking it next to a sewage farm does not please him too much." A Southern Water spokeswoman said: "We have received a letter from Simon. It was among 2,000 responses as part of a public consultation process we held into eight shortlisted sites to serve Brighton and Hove." Link |
Tabbyking | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 09:10 am     wait, his pet poodle, prancy, poops and pees in the area, but it shouldn't be a sewage area?! i dislike it intensely when 'celebrities' bring up their 'connections' to protest something. i would have a lot more respect for his letter had he just written it without throwing in his pop (poop) resume. i like the 'temporary resident' line, too. he probably visits his mom on the obligatory holidays, so prancy is probably--in all practicality--pooping and peeing only part-time on that property. |

Wcv63 | Thursday, February 27, 2003 - 08:08 pm     Prancy the pet poodle? I wonder if Prancy is one of those little yippy toys or a standard. Either way it sounds like an unusually cutesy pet for snarky Mr. Cowell. |

Car54 | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 12:57 am     From RealityTVWorld: Well apparently those Family Feud parody commercials with the original "Anerican Idol" finalists weren't bad enough... FOX today announced that Steven Cojocaru, West Coast Style Editor for People Magazine and style correspondent for the Today Show and Access Hollywood, will team up with "American Idol 2" sponsor Old Navy to give the finalists a new look for an in-show segment to air Tuesday, March 18 (8:00-10:00 PM ET Live/PT Tape Delayed) on FOX. Cojocaru will lend his fashion expertise to the "American Idol 2" finalists as they are styled in Old Navy's hottest spring looks, including Old Navy Boot-Cut denim. Cojocaru’s “Behind the Seams” column, which reports on behind-the-scenes Hollywood fashion dish, has been a part of People Magazine’s "Stylewatch” section since 2000. Before joining People in 1994 as a reporter, Cojocaru was a freelance writer with a syndicated style column. He has just published his first book, “Red Carpet Diaries: Confessions of a Glamour Boy.” Makeover |
Fruitbat | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 02:58 am     Ruben in Old Navy clothes? Now this is something to make me sit up and pay attention. The Marine already wears them.  |
Car54 | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 03:08 am     LOL! I was hoping Cojo would help Trenyce. I don't think they carry plus sizes at Old Navy. Not sure tho. |
Jenhavins | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 02:24 pm     The crew in Old Navy garb with Steven (who I can't stand). This may have been posted already. Why is Ruben so mad? Link |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 02:50 pm     Steven may be getting a bit too close to certain parts that Ruben holds near and dear?? I notice that tonight we have another two hour show, partly taken up with report on Kelly, shilling for the movie and undoubtedly the CD, and while I adore Kelly, it still seems like just another in a whole pile of product placements. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 02:52 pm     Steve looks like a Christy McNichol wannabe.. but with more makeup |
Jenhavins | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 02:53 pm     LOL Sea...you might be right about that! I also adore Kelly, but the album and the movie coming out about the same time is a bit much. The movie looks very very very cheesy. I hope I am wrong. |
Jenhavins | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 02:56 pm     Ya know, he does look like Kristy. And what is up with the overkill on lip gloss. Could you imagine that running up to you and wanting to kiss and give you a hug? Eeeeeek. I also think he has a huge crush on Matt Lauer. |
Yuhuru | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 03:04 pm     Ruben's shirt doesn't say "Old Navy" |
Walker | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 03:47 pm     yall are too mean..he he |
Jbean | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 04:44 pm     i am just so excited that kelly is making an appearance that i don't really care what it's for. she will definitely overshadow the constestants tonight imho. |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 04:45 pm     You'll see.. Ruben plans to sing.. "Don't Stand So Close to Me".. soon.. to Steven |
Car54 | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 04:54 pm     Whoa...we are all wide...what happened? |
Moderator | Tuesday, March 18, 2003 - 05:42 pm     Fixed link to get page back to normal width. (M) |
Jenhavins | Wednesday, March 19, 2003 - 05:53 am     Thanks for fixing link. I didn't mean to make it all wide up in here! I am not very computer literate. |
Essence | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 06:58 am     I got this from over at Survivorblows... Lisapooh 1963 desperate attention postings DAW Level: "Herbal Healing Drugs Endorser" 03-26-03, 09:30 AM (EST) 12. "RE: Country Rock Week " A local radio station wasa interviewing Kristin Holt this morning on my way to work. She said Josh was PISSED that Corey got to sing "Drift Away" because it wasn't country. She said that he said he should sing Alanis's Uninvited and add a fiddle to it. She also said Corey, Reuben and somebody else share a room and that there's one bigger bed in it which everyone obviously thought Reuben should get but Corey was pissed about that too. She said that several of the girls didn't practice that much this week because they were more concerned with what they were going to wear and how their hair looked. Also said Kim C. and JD Adams are an item now and that she has a "shrine" to him in her room. And she said that the judges all hear the performances at dress rehersal so they can have some time to think about what they are gonna say. Then she said that she didn't know why they didn't have better comments then. OK - she's catty and smug and I like that. I'll listen next week to see what she says. |
Conejo | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:22 am     Thanks for the info Essence! Who is Kristin Holt! (name sounds familiar) Who is JD Adams? |
Essence | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:28 am     Kristin was a contestant last year on AI. She is the one that did the tour of the house (last week) that the contestants are staying in. JD was in the top 32 this year. I think he performed in the first group of 8. |
Conejo | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 07:56 am     Thanks Essence! I thought that name sounded familiar. I got a telephone call when they were touring the house - so I missed it (I knew I shouldn't have answered it). |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, March 26, 2003 - 08:13 am     Thanks Essence! Drudge Report has a link to an article about the possibility of Joshua going to war: http://www.calendarlive.com/tv/cl-war-braxton26mar26,0,7536388.story?coll=cl-home-more-channels |
