good morning everyone - it's friday! below i've got funny lady joan rivers (looking more and more like 'the joker' - her smile has been frozen in time) who stopped by martha stewart's daytime talk show yesterday (some of their quips are posted below) where the two ladies had fun playing with matzo - coating it in chocolate & nuts! i know most people find joan to be the most annoying lady alive but she has done so much work over the years (yes that kind of work too...) and she's had her share of ups and downs but joan is a total trooper & a great comedian (plus she turns 75 in june) i wish we'd see her back on the red carpet with her daughter melissa rivers - it was always way awkward & uncomfortable yet i loved watching celebrities squirm when they were forced to deal with her! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
on matzo and aging:
jr: can i just say - every time i see matzo it reminds me of my chest. flat and brown spots.
ms: joan! i don't know when women start to make fun of themselves...i wouldn't talk about that stuff ever!
jr: but your body's in better shape. you were a model, bitch.
on her upcoming trip to china:
ms: why are you going to china?
jr: again, a mistake. olivia newton-john called me and she said, 'this is for breast cancer, would you like to walk the great wall?'...i thought she said 'walk the great mall,' and i said, 'you got it!'
ms: did you learn any chinese?
jr: yes, i learned one phrase - 'i am single. are you?' i also think it's important to learn, 'where is gucci?'
on her love for sweets:
ms: you like sweets?
jr: look at my ass.
on the chocolate matzo:
jr: moses would have loved this!
on her matzo house:
ms: are they [the audience] laughing at your gingerbread roof?
jr: yes! they're laughing and i'm not even naked!
ms: i've made one side of my little roof, and it's very neat and perfect.
jr: and i've done mine free form. i think of myself as a modern artist.

good morning! yesterday domestic diva martha stewart celebrated her 500th episode (suck on that donald trump) of her daytime talk show the martha stewart show and on hand to help her celebrate was late night funny guy conan o'brien (who helped her make glittered ham & eggs!) along with bill clinton who stopped by (with a hot purple/pink tie!) again to give an update on the clinton global initiative and mycommitment.org which since its launch last year has seen over 90,000 visitors and 1,000 commitments bringing in over $900,000 to help those less fortunate! below are a few pics from the show along with a few quips between martha and conan - here's to another 500 episodes of martha! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo! (doesn't it seem like ages ago when martha was locked up?!?)
martha talking about conan's late night show:
ms: all of you know that conan is on in the new york area at 12:30 a.m., so you have to stay up really late to watch.
co'b: yes, this appearance today is a chance for my parents to see me on television, they watch martha; they are not watching my show at 12:30 at night.
ms: you've done 2600 shows!
co'b: in fifteen years we've ('late night with conan o'brien') done 2600 shows, eleven of them quite good.
martha and conan commenting on the abundance of candy on-set:
ms: 3,000 pounds of candy have been displayed on our set since the first show!
co'b: you're like a dealer. you're pushing this stuff pretty hard!

good evening! today 'desperate housewife' eva longoria dropped in on martha stewart's daytime talkshow - to help promote her new flick over her dead body (out today) which looks like one of the worst movies ever (that sucks having to do press for it - however she did sign on to star in it!) although it does look better than the hottie or the nottie (starring paris hilton) since it's super bowl weekend - the ladies whipped up eva's infamous guacamole recipe (posted below) which is quite simple - i'm not a fan of the green dip yet this actually does sound tasty - but i've never really been into avocado (nor is my bird max - avocado is like poison for parrots - they can't have it!) anyways tonight i'm just chilling out and catching up on some of my backed up tivo recorded shows! popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo!

hey hey! before i head back home to the land of no internet access - i wanted to post a bit about this past week's martha stewart show which had both hottie patrick dempsey and funny man andy samberg on as guests - mr. dempsey is just way too adorable for words (i'd run off with him in a heartbeat) and mr. samberg is hilarious - ms. stewart even asked him about his emmy award winning SNL sketch dick in a box that he worked on with justin timberlake (and still cracks me up nearly a year later - my pal candace and i are always like 'step 1...cut a hole in a box...step 2...') anyways check out some pictures & choice quotes below! gosh maybe when i walk back home my internet will be magically back on! (i doubt it but it's ok for this blogger to have hope - i suppose i can at least play video games!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
ms: you're only the second sexiest man in america. how does it feel?
pd: i've been second for three years in a row, so at least i'm consistent.
ms: what did you do you wrong?
pd: i don't know. i need to work out more.
ms: well, matt damon's (sexiest man in america) not so buff.
ms: anything you can tell us about what coming up for 'grey's anatomy'?
pd: there's a nurse now that's come into the picture and i think that relationship will develop.
ms: [to the audience] too bad ladies - he's going to be taken soon!
ms: is it true that your wife cuts your hair?
pd: she does. we met in a salon - she's a make-up artist. if i get my haircut by anyone else, she's knows immediately.
ms: it's a big break to get on saturday night live. isn't it?
as: yeah, it's not bad.
ms: i had to go to jail to get an invitation!
ms: are you making the stuffing this year? which would you hate more, wet or dry [stuffing]?
as: oh man, that's a loaded question. i think that too dry is worse than too wet just as a rule, right?
as: what is cheese cloth?
ms: oh, no. you need some cooking lessons!
as: i've never baked a pie before. do you need me to make mac & cheese?
ms: so what about "'little richard' in a box"? what kind of song is that? what were you making fun of?
as: we weren't so much making fun of as we were paying homage to early 90s r&b. justin timberlake hosted and obviously he's got the pipes.
ms: oh, he does! and you won an emmy.
as: i did. now i only need like 15 or 16 more to tie you.

good evening! oh how appropriate that on the 5th season premiere of nip/tuck (yes i'm mr. broken record) that i'm posting about rosie o'donnell who will be reprising her guest role from the 4th season as 'dawn budge' - one of the best celebrity guest star characters ever - i can't wait to see what her character will be up to this season - and more importantly will she sleep with 'dr. troy' again? (played by the delicious julian mcmahon) anyways ms. o'donnell stopped by martha stewart's daytime talk show to celebrate halloween - rosie was dressed as 'queen elizabeth' (pictured below along w/ some quotes) while martha went with a more simple greek goddess outfit! (by the end of the episode which airs tomorrow (oct 31st) she goes from goddess to glampire!) ms. o'donnell's appearance on martha's show also marks her first television appearance since leaving the view and all that drama behind her! i so miss those crazy days - i haven't watched that show once since rosie left - like i've said before i'm not always her biggest fan - but you have to admit she for sure always kept things interesting & buzzworthy! popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo!
martha and rosie on rosie's queen elizabeth costume:
ms: who made this pearl studded, jewel encrusted gorgeous dress?
rd: martha, i threw it together last night! i can hardly walk. i don't know how queens do this. and by that, i mean gay men too.
rosie on her former executive producer/martha's current executive producer, bernie young:
ms: look at bernie all dressed up!
rd: i would like to say that it does feel mildly annoying that for six years when he was the executive producer on my show, he never once dressed up for halloween!
ms: you know, you could give him lashes. you are the queen.
rd: that's right! and i shall do it during the commercial break.
rosie on working with martha on 'the martha stewart show':
ms: we asked rosie to join us here, but she wanted too much money.
rd: you could have got me for the view rate.
ms: who knows, we may revisit it.
rd: we'll revisit it, because frankly, i'm unemployed martha stewart.
rosie on her greatest weakness during the holiday season:
rd: for a mother of four, from halloween to thanksgiving, it is a living hell in my home.
ms: everybody's bouncing off the wall?
rd: no - mommy is in bed; trying to go to sleep; thinking: there is an almond joy one flight down. i go through those kid's candy bags like you can't believe.
rosie and martha on global warming:
rd: what do you think of global warming?
ms: i think it's a real problem.
rd: me too. you know how i know it's a real big problem? last week, my kids were in the pool - in october in new york.

hey hey! tonight i've got martha stewart riding a stallion that stopped by her daytime talk show yesterday ( the world famous lipizzaner stallions) i know it's not the most exciting thing ever but however i did get a kick out of the 'present' the horse left behind for ms. stewart (not that she has to clean it or anything like that) i have a huge love for horses - they are fascinating creatures - i'd love to own one (or two) someday! (special shout out to my pal christienne) i need to check out some horseback riding options in town - i believe there are stables up beachwood canyon where you can ride a horse around parts of griffith park - i need to check that out! although with my luck i'd be falling off and breaking my leg or some crap like that! same thing goes with skiing - if you can believe it - i've never skied once - i would totally kill myself - no thank you! for more of martha's in-studio horse visit - there's video over on the huffington post
anyways i'll try and find something good to post in the morning - right now the site is having some growing pains - i don't know what direction to take popbytes in - does anybody have suggestions of what you'd like to see more (or less) of? i just feel like it needs something new - like maybe another daily feature? more pictures? or maybe the best idea is to start doing a weekly video update featuring myself and all my many pets! (there's still one pet i have yet to post about - i really need to tell you all about him!) no worries i'll figure it out for sure - so please bear with me! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo! (oh my gosh - what i thought might be a lame post turned out to be semi-therapeutic for myself - woo hoo - we certainly don't need me coming unglued at the seams!)

hey hey! it's the end of the work week - and although i'd love to relax a bit - i actually need to get ready to leave for chicago early sunday morning (my flight is at 6:30am - meaning i need to leave like around 4:30am...yikes!) i'm heading to the adobe max conference which will basically be a bunch of photoshop geeks - myself included! i'm stoked to get out of town for a few days (and nab a little deep dish pizza) but i always get stressed when i leave popbytes home base! no worries - i'll still post - just a little lighter than normal!
i'm going to have to make sure i catch the desperate housewives premiere on sunday night over on ABC...speaking of premieres - who watched ugly betty last night?!? oh my goodness - i completely lost my mind at the end (although thinking back there were hints to what actually happened to 'santos') i was having so much fun watching the episode ( judith light fucking rocks!) that when we saw 'hilda' alone - i cried my eyes out! (i'm so emotional to begin with and that simply sent me over the edge) the 2nd season premiere did not disappoint - gosh i'm not kidding at all when i tell you it's like the best show on TV!
for tonight i've got jennifer garner (aka mrs. ben affleck) on martha stewart (a few quotes are posted below including one on how she likes to get paid...) her latest film the kingdom opens today and i'd really like to go & see it - seeing ms. garner back in action will totally remind me of her alias days - gosh that was a great show! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
PS i'm grooving to the latest jennifer lopez album brave which leaked onto the net today - and damn - girlfriend made a really fun album! i can't wait to see her when she comes to los angeles on oct 19th!
jennifer on movies vs. broadway:
ms: would you rather do a play, now that you're into the rehearsals or a movie?
jg: i would like to do a play, but get paid like a movie.
jennifer on the set of her movie:
jg: we were in arizona. we did the thing where you open the egg and it fries on the asphalt...like right there…and that's kind of what happened to our brains.
jennifer on cooking:
ms: i want you to stick around and cook with us.
jg: duh! why do you think i came?
jennifer on the ingredients:
ms: now, do you know what a rutabaga is?
jg: yes, martha. it's a pinkish...no! i'm thinking of rhubarb. i don't know what a rutabaga is!

good evening! yes i know just last night i did a martha stewart megapost but lindsay lohan recently dropped by to help ms. stewart make some cream puffs (and promote her new movie) at least her mother dina lohan was nowhere in sight - you know dina so wants to be rosie o'donnell's replacement on 'the view' more than anything - keep dreamin' lady! i have mixed feelings on lindsay but damn her mom irritates me to no end! i love how martha said that ms. lohan was working up a sweat and lindsay wasn't even on the dancefloor - she should've added - or doing lines of coke in the bathroom - ha! lohan's appearance airs tomorrow (friday - woo hoo!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
PS i do adore both jane fonda & felicity huffman but that georgia rule flick looks terribly painful - i have no desire at all to go and see it...

martha on lindsay's "party girl" lifestyle -
martha: who does all your shopping? i mean you're so busy, you're out every night, clubbing.
lindsay: apparently.
martha: you're a worker and a party girl too. i'm not upset about that - the party girl part i like. i go out every night! well they [the paparazzi] say i do.
lindsay on who she looks up to and listens to -
martha: is there anyone that can tell you, 'you're not going out tonight'?
lindsay: jane [fonda].
martha: well, you don't live with her!
lindsay: i know, but we talk all the time.
lindsay on working out -
martha: do you work out?
lindsay: i do kickboxing but i haven't done anything since i've been in town.
martha: excuses! excuses! excuses! party girls make excuses!
martha on lindsay cooking -
martha: she's [lindsay] working up a sweat! this is so great, and it's not even on the dance floor!
lindsay on dessert -
martha: how many of these [cream puffs] could you eat? do you eat? you know what i mean - do you eat dessert?
lindsay: yes! i love dessert. i have the biggest sweet tooth.
i love my martha stewart and oh my word i'd love to know what she thinks about paris hilton heading to the slammer (i won't ask for anything else all year long - i just want to see this happen!) gosh martha totally should have paris on the show for shits & giggles! (if martha did her time in prison and managed to handle herself quite well - then paris can grin & bear it!) recently ms. stewart had 'heroes' hayden panettiere, funny man jamie kennedy and a pregnant keri russell on her daytime talk show! below are pics & choice quotes from each guest - i too was thinking martha's fern was looking a little like something else like mr. kennedy thought! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
on being asked about whether she has started to feel indestructible in real life, based on her 'heroes' character -
hayden: oh, no, i've been made well aware that i am no where near indestructible. it is pretty fun (on 'heroes') when you get to be battered and bruised and then heal yourself again.
on being asked if she gets freaked out by her scenes on 'heroes' -
hayden: not when you realize how fake it is, and you're covered in it all day long… i think the freakiest thing about seeing my character is the sound effects they put in afterwards, which totally creep me out!
jamie kennedy on the suspicious appearance of martha's plants/ferns -
jamie: you know martha, that plant looks a little like something illegal.
martha: (laughs) those happen to be ferns.
jamie: that's a fern? oh, okay, that's what you call it now.
jamie on his "green thumb" -
martha: have you ever worked in the garden?
jamie: um, i walked through home depot once. it was a good time.
keri on how the movie helped prepare her for her real-life pregnancy -
martha: so, did the movie help you at all prepare for motherhood?
keri: not exactly, i mean having a pillow in your wardrobe is a little different than what's going on here (points to stomach)
martha: when are you due?
keri: very soon, i mean it could happen on this show!
when asked if she knew if it is a boy or girl -
keri: we're being surprised…this is my first (child)

so what's a girl to do when she's pregnant with her ex-boyfriend's baby who happens to be a super hot & successful football player who is now with a supermodel who used to date a hot hollywood actor? (hello drama!) well of course you run straight to martha stewart! that's exactly what actress bridget moynahan did when she taped an appearance on martha's show which airs this monday!
girlfriend has a ton of drama at the moment while being preggers with her ex tom brady's baby who is now dating gisele bundchen - oh good times! below is a bit of dialogue from the upcoming show - i don't really have an opinion on ms. moynahan except her last name is a complete bitch to spell and i fucking can't stand that stupid ass sappy show six degrees which is coming back to ABC - and only god ( and now maybe lindsay lohan) know why! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
ms: now wouldn't you (to the audience) like to look like that (while
pregnant- referring to bridget)? what month are you in?
bm: i'm almost five months. this week (it will be) five months.
ms: five months pregnant! are you excited about being a mom?
bm: i am. i'm a little nervous cause i haven't done it before, but you know i have little nephews and its always nice to spend time with them
especially around the holidays.
