popbytes {when culture pops, i wipe it up...}

hey hey! funny man jimmy fallon stopped by the martha stewart show for a special episode (that aired today) dedicated to all things related to the word pot aka the pot show! except for the kind you smoke - although it was alluded to many times (i'm sure martha and jimmy have both taken a few tokes before - who hasn't?) jimmy even joked by bringing her a fresh plate of brownies - claiming he baked them at michael phelps' house - plus he brought ms. stewart a pot with a small plant that definitely bears a resemblance to marijuana (pictured below) ever since mr.fallon left saturday night live - he's been kind of keeping a low profile but that's all about to change when he takes over for conan o'brien on late night - his first episode airs march 2nd - i'm so going to have to tune in for that one (although 12:35am is pushing it on a weeknight) it will be great to see him back on television - he's super funny and pretty darn cute! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

PS martha stewart just got on the twitter train - now you can follow her!

On the brownies Jimmy made for Martha:
JF: I made you some special brownies. I was over at Michael Phelps house and we...
MS: These are really good!
JF: Apparently he [Michael Phelps] loves to cook. They're really good...I ate a half-a-pound backstage.

Jimmy on his new gig as host of "Late Night"
MS: Are you excited about your new job?
JF: I'm excited, I'm anxious, I'm nervous. I mean, there are big shoes to fill - Conan O'Brien, David Letterman.
MS: How can you be nervous? You've been on Saturday Night Live...do you write your own stuff.
JF: No, I have great writers that write my stuff. I barely even talk...I barely know English. I say everything phonetically - I'm like ABBA. Me and ABBA work the same way.
MS: You better have us laughing five nights a week. I'm an insomniac.
JF: 12:30 at night, my only competition is sleep.
MS: So if you're funny and really good, nobody's going to go to sleep.
JF: Exactly - I need to keep people awake, so I'm sending a Red Bull to everyone in America. I just need everyone's addresses.

During a special taping of "The Martha Stewart Show", Martha was joined in studio by the hilarious Jimmy Fallon. Airing Monday, February 23, the hour long episode is entirely dedicated to the world of pot, well, not that kind of pot - the hour has a totally tongue in cheek feel with Martha talking about her personal pot stash in the show open alongside a crawl of every word that includes POT. She and Jimmy cook his favorite Crock-POT chili; she visits with some POTbelly pigs and she chats with her favorite POTters, Guy and Ben Wolf, about how to create clayPOTS. And at the segment's end, Martha presents Jimmy with her own special POTted plant...

good evening! i just got back from an advanced screening of coraline which opens next week (february 6th) i highly recommend it - prepare to be blown away - the 3-D was truly spectacular! anyways right now i've got my darling joan rivers (age 75) who was recently on the martha stewart show - ms. rivers is a total comedic legend and is still as feisty & funny as ever - just the other night there was a hilarious interview with her featured on nightline (watch it here) she totally cracks me up and has been in the business for over fifty years - god bless her and all of her plastic surgery! when asked about her cosmetic procedures the other night - she said for her age she thinks she looks good - with what she started out with - i find that to be a true statement! below are some choice quotes from her time with ms. stewart - the banter between joan and martha was hysterical - i love her bit about amy winehouse - and i think it's so funny that martha assumes angelina jolie is crafty - i wonder if that's a word jennifer aniston might use to describe ms. jolie? popbytes over & out for tonight - thank heavens tomorrow is friday - xoxo

Joan on her plastic surgery:

MS: Now, I've read somewhere that you've only spent $80,000 on plastic surgery.
JR: Which sounds insane...
MS: No, it sounds too little.
JR: Oh, God...I love you!
MS: Too little - you look so great! I would have thought that one operation costs $80,000.
JR: I always say, better a new face coming out of an old car than an old face coming out of a new car! You can leave the car at the curb.

JR: Without Botox I'd have more lines on my face than Amy Winehouse's coffee table.
MS: She's not doing so well...
JR: She's a good girl.

Joan on the title of her book, Men Are Stupid...and They Like Big Boobs

MS: How did you come up with this title [Men Are Stupid...and They Like Big Boobs]?
JR: I was in college and I was dating Marilyn Monroe's lawyer's son, and they took me to a dinner party...
MS: With Marilyn Monroe?
JR: Yeah, and she was very shy so she picked the least threatening girl in the room, which was a college girl...and she sat next to me. She sat all night and talked to me, and she said, "Don't forget, men are stupid and like big boobs."

Joan on Priscilla Presley:

JR: Poor Priscilla Presley!
MS: What happened to Priscilla Presley?
JR: She looks like she's in the witness protection program. You don't recognize her and she admits that.
MS: You look wonderful.

Joan on Angelina Jolie:

MS: I have a room with 10 sewing machines.
JR: Seriously? You should send that to Angelina Jolie - she can put the kids to work.
MS: Angelina, I bet she has a sewing machine. I bet she's very crafty.

good evening! before i head down to the roxy on sunset blvd to catch little jackie in concert - i simply had to post this picture for two reasons...the first being i adore martha stewart (i have no clue why but i like her) the second is i seriously LOVE hot dogs (especially when loaded up with lots of sauerkraut and mustard) in fact i had a couple at lunch today! ms. stewart got a special delivery on her daytime talk show earlier today - a 15-foot long hot dog modeled after the world's largest hot dog, which was actually 197 feet in length before it was consumed - my gosh - that was one huge wiener (they should have went the extra three feet to make it an even 200!) popbytes over & out for now...xoxo

for those of you who don't think length matters, i disagree - especially when it comes to wieners. there's just never enough bites in a hot dog - martha stewart

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.

hey kids! even though ms. bette midler has been busy slamming britney spears she also made time to stop by and visit with martha stewart this past friday where she helped ms. stewart whip up some holiday fun and also sang a personalized version of jingle bells dedicated to martha (the lyrics are posted below) plus ms. midler was also promoting her new holiday album out now called cool yule! bette is a total legend and one of my favorite people along with ms. stewart - i just had to post about their holiday cheer here!

jeez louise - i still can't believe xmas is just one week from today - my the time is flying and i still have a little bit of shopping to do! thank heavens there's one more weekend for all us procrastinators - i know there's plenty of people like me who love to push things off to the last minute - oh good times! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

hey boys & girls! you know with thanksgiving right around the corner that martha stewart is well into her preparations! on her show today russell crowe stopped by to lend ms. stewart a hand - he appeared calm & collected - even his hair was on the soft side! yesterday i caught martha prepping her delicious side dishes with the legendary ms. joan collins who just like mr. crowe appeared with her softer side showing! maybe martha brings that out in people? popbytes over & out for now - xxoo!

Martha and Russell while whisking eggs for the stuffing:
Russell: "I'll just whisk them, I won't fertilize them."
Martha: "You know how many women would love that."
[LAUGHTER FROM THE AUDIENCE]
Russell: "There is only one bloke in your audience -- he's the only guy who didn't laugh at that joke. Perhaps you can explain it to him later."

Russell, on being a romantic (which they spoke about during a lesson on sweeping):
Martha: "You have to take something home to your wife in Australia."
Russell: "I'm not taking her a broom. I'm going to get her some jewelry -- but thanks for the tip, Martha."
Martha: "Well how about some knowledge, how to sweep."
Russell: "You mean sweep her off her feet Martha. You have to do that continually Martha -- Every two weeks at least."

On the November 9th edition of "The Martha Stewart Show" Oscar Winner Russell Crowe hand-delivered some special Australian wine; spoke about his experience as a short order cook and chatted about his mom's career as a chef on TV, while whipping up turkey & stuffing from Martha's Official Thanksgiving Menu.

UPDATE i didn't even realize they were making peanut butter & jelly sandwiches - it sure looked like blood to me! anyways check out tmz for more of the story...yes i should be paying attention more but either way licking fingers probably isn't the most sanitary thing - blood or no blood!

good morning! so last night i was watching the late show with david letterman who had martha stewart as his guest - they were making some sandwiches together when dave sliced/cut his finger - martha didn't skip a beat and just put his finger in her mouth and sucked off the blood - gosh i hope she didn't pull that trick in prison! mr. letterman and the audience were both taken back a bit - too funny! i had to snap some shots of the incident below...you can check out more of ms. stewart's antics when the 2nd season of her show martha starts today! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

PS the musical guest last night was justin timberlake who rocked along with timbaland with a hot 'sexyback' performance - so cute that JT!

martha stewart is offering a little friendly advice to her one time pal donald trump - i totally agree with martha - trump firing carolyn kepcher was a huge mistake - even bigger was replacing her on his reality show with daughter ivanka - nepotism always sucks! (yet runs wildly rampant in hollywood) the apprentice has been on a steady decline and i think the next season will fall even further (to shake things up the 6th round will take place here in los angeles - i doubt that will help) anyways check out what martha had to say below...and of course donald had to fire right back! i still stand by martha's 'apprentice' - i loved it - especially her letter writing at the end! popbytes over & out for now - xxoo!

Donald is out of control, by the time he's finished, he will have fired everyone around him and there will be nobody left. Poor Donald will be sitting there on his little pedestal all by himself. He needs to be careful! Martha Stewart

Martha will always be upset with me because her version of The Apprentice was a complete failure and my version remains a tremendous success. Despite that, I still love Martha! Donald Trump

hey kids - check out the pic below of martha stewart on her daytime show with guest sharon stone - i guess now that BI2 bombed - we can expect sharon to be more 'domestic'...if that is even a word you could ever apply to her? but damn with her hair pulled back like that so darned tight - she is looking like an alien - which below is how she claims she feels...oh good times with our wacky sharon! rock on people - check you all laters - popbytes over & out...xxoo!

Audience Member: My friends and I were wondering how you stay in such great shape?

Sharon Stone: I get asked this so much, I feel like an alien. First of all, you don’t eat cake like this all the time…It’s a balance kind of a thing. You have a maximum limit of weight you let yourself gain and once you do, you knock it off.

Martha Stewart: Do you weigh yourself everyday?

Sharon Stone: I don’t ever weigh myself. I just know from my pants and how they fit. Like I have the favorite pair of jeans, I have the skinny jeans and the fat jeans - but when the fat jeans get tight, it’s over!

nobody puts my martha stewart in the corner - i am shocked at donald trump - he wrote a letter to ms. stewart about her shortcomings on her version of the apprentice - what a loser - he is so out of control & out of line! when i first read the letter over on tabloid whore i almost thought it wasn't real but indeed it is very real! i actually really enjoyed martha's apprentice version and donald trump should go fly a kite with - i can't believe someone would write a letter so publicly like this - i am simply shocked - i can't say it enough!

below find a copy of the letter & martha's response - what a major asshole trump is - he is just a big ol' meanie with very bad hair - plus he just lost any chance of me watching season 5 of his apprenctice that premieres right after the olympics - i hope nobody watches it and donald can realize it's just overkill that brought your stupid ratings down - you suck hardcore donald!

martha we love you - don't let this asshole bring you down...popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!

Dear Martha,

It's about time you started taking responsibility for your failed version of The Apprentice. Your performance was terrible in that the show lacked mood, temperament and just about everything else a show needs for success. I knew it would fail as soon as I first saw it – and your low ratings bore me out. Between your daughter, with her one word statements, your letter writing and, most importantly, your totally unconvincing demeanor, it never had a chance – much as your daytime show is not exactly setting records. Despite this, I did nothing but positively promote you. Your only response to your failed show was that, "I thought that I was supposed to fire Donald Trump!" You knew this was not true – NBC would never fire me when The Apprentice was, for a good period of time, the #1 show on television and my recent finale, where I hired Randal, was the #2 show for the week, easily beating the competing finale of Amazing Race and others. Even Mark Burnett said, "Thank God that didn't happen," when asked about firing Donald Trump. Essentially, you made this firing up just as you made up your sell order of ImClone. The only difference is – that was more obvious. Putting your show on the air was a mistake for everybody – especially NBC.

In any event, my great loyalty to you has gone totally unappreciated.

Sincerely,
Donald J. Trump

PS Be careful or I will do a syndicated daytime show, perhaps called The Boardroom, and further destroy the meager ratings you already have!

Martha Stewart's response -
The letter is so mean-spirited and reckless that I almost can’t believe my long-time friend Donald Trump wrote it. I am very proud of the work we did with Mark Burnett Productions and Mr. Trump, who was an executive producer, on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. Many young entrepreneurs learned so much from the show and enjoyed it. Many families sat their children down weekly to watch it. We are even more pleased with our excellent daytime show Martha – syndicated by NBC Universal – which has just been nominated for six daytime Emmys (including best show and best host), was touted by The New York Times as one of the best shows on television, and has been embraced by our wonderful audience throughout the country.
