On Being Famous, Break Ups
Katy Perry (OUT magazine’s ironic “OUT100” cover girl) must have made a new year’s resolution to “be more lesbian” because she broke up with boyfriend and Gym Class Heroes front-man Travis McCoy then kissed a girl in the audience at her New Year’s Eve show. Hmmmm, maybe she’s trying to prove us all wrong?

On his blog, Travis writes the best break-up verse of all time:
My friends always tell me how I’m lucky to possess
The best looking girl in the whole U.S.
But every time you scream, you blow your finesse
Tryin’ to dis the Profess-
Or twenty-four hours of acting sore
Sometimes I wish you’d come down with lockjaw
So I don’t have to take in the breakin’
You treat me like a burnt piece of bacon
Lesbian news travels fast. Monday, perezhilton.com posted a story that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson broke up. They wouldn’t be the first lesbian couple to break up and get back together in the same day.

However, within a few hours, the blog posted a retraction, quoting Lindsay’s squashing of the rumor, taken from her MySpace blog:
“RUMORS
little piece of TRUE information:
we did NOT break up!
access hollywood, extra, et, every tabloid, page six… AND every GOSSIP website. Get your stories straight please. It’s really annoying to have all of your friends emailing you saying, i saw, i read, etc… NOT TRUExoxox Lindsay”
Monday, Perez Hilton was on The View to promote his new book, “Red Carpet Suicide.”
Those of us dying to see what would happen between he and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, whom he refers to as “Elizabitch”, were sorely disappointed to learn that she couldn’t be there due to “a death in the family”. This might have been a blessing in disguise for Elisabeth as it would have been real ugly, hence the disappointment. I’m surprised at how rude Joy was to him… lighten up!
And I present to you, the first best video of 2009: Kathy Griffin saying “dicks” (big deal, right?) during Anderson Cooper’s live New Year’s Eve coverage. She truly is hilarious.

..”like a burnt piece of bacon”..
oops, I have to be .. back.. into the kitchen..
[Reply]
This post is truly glamorous & made me feel the awesome power of celebrity mythology. keep up the gay news!!
[Reply]
lesbians typically have to break up at least twice in order for it to be official. li-lo’s blogs are hi-LARIOUS.
[Reply]
“You treat me like a burnt piece of bacon”…
The art of using effective metaphors is clearly a dying one….
[Reply]
I loath Perez and find watching The View just exasperating!
I get the feeling Whoopie knows more about every subject than she is letting on … but she just can’t be bothered debating it.
Lindsay and Sam - public arguments are not a good look for us …
and I’d like to just ignore Katy Perry … but it is hard when gays are going out of their way to hire her for our own events - Ugh!
[Reply]
1) Anderson Cooper is awesome. He has a hilarious sense of humor. I’ve worked with him, and found him to be charming and extremely witty.
2) Katy Perry. I wouldn’t mind a kiss from her…. just some ‘friendly’ tongue, no homo stuff.
3) Lindsay and Samantha, old news. (Samantha, smoking is sooo nasty, yuk.)
Is it just me, or is Samantha getting skinnier every time I see her?
Note to Sam : Drink a protein shake girl !! Skinny is not hot…
4) The view… Elisabeth Hasselbeck is hot.
Joy, not so much.
5) Kathy Griffin, she makes me pee my thong….very funny girl.
6) Perez Hilton……get a life.
Hoping for a Kiss From Katy,
LBDL

Is it just me? I find Kathy Griffin grating and annoying. That last shot at AC seemed to me to be rude, but mostly degrading. I may be in a minority here, but I think jabs like that are passive-aggressive humorless digs with a huge amount of insecurity behind them.
[Reply]
Whoopi to Joy: “I would do you right here.” I’m thinking I need to wear blue more often…..
When all the rumors were flying that Paris was going to be in season six of TLW I was hoping they were actually talking about Perez…..boy toy is looking healthy these days….
Katy Perry knows where the money is…..don’t ever say lesbians don’t have influence….. Katy has some serious lesbian bookings this coming year…..hey, when in Rome….
Kathy - is she a peep?
Samantha needs to just say no!
Thanks, Amy - I admit I am a subscriber to People magazine - and a spoiler watching broad….
Good stuff,
Tex
[Reply]
eesh Katy Perry makes me sick! Is it true she’s playing at Dinah?? She’s the worst thing to happen to lesbians since the mullet or fannypack…thanks for turning WHO WE ARE/OUR LIVES into a spring break fantasy.
[Reply]
Omg, did you hear AC’s little “OH HONEY…” quip-slip to Kathy? Thounded very thwishy to me. Bwaaaaaaaaahaaaaahaaaaa!
[Reply]
mmmm hmmmm!
[Reply]
sure is. AND she’s headlining. i really want to go to spy on her and see how many girls she makes out with. is that creepy?
[Reply]
” …since the mullet or fannypack.”
And the wallet chain.
[Reply]
Can we all just pretend this latest “I Kissed a Girl” song doesn’t exist? Roll back the clock 15 years and every time we hear it or think about it sing Jill Sobule’s instead? That would make me happy. I’m over all this Katy Perry stuff and would prefer we never talk about her again.
[Reply]
Speaking of Dinah, is anyone going to the Dinah Shore weekend thing in April? I’ve never been and wondered what it was like. Do tell.
-Angie
[Reply]
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! =)
[Reply]
she cracks me up,
and actually i think she was talking to the producers of the show who were giving her shit via her ear piece. but it was directed to AC as well.
[Reply]
Oh, man, I LOVE Kathy Griffin. So, yes, it’s just you, LB (teasing, just teasing!).
[Reply]
she put me off a little when I first saw her, but now I love her. she cracks me up. I loved it when she said to AC, “It’s SUCH a pleasure for you to be here with me Anderson.” lol
I like sassy and irreverent humor.
[Reply]
I’d ask Kathy for a date….
[Reply]
Wow. It must be just me.
[Reply]
I think she is intermittently hilarious and an ass hat.
[Reply]
Because I was trying to be a grownup this New Year’s (for once) I was home with friends and watching CNN. She was not
aiming that jibe at AC. She was responding to some hecklers that were booing the stage and I thought it was fucking hilarious!
But yes, she can be an acquired taste . . .
[Reply]
Decidedly creepy!
My little brother referred to the notorious KP tune as “that lesbian song” not too long ago, eliciting from me what may be the most perfect Angry Lesbian Rant I have yet to produce. Truly. I amazed even myself.
[Reply]
and people say we have no sense of humor!
[Reply]
oooh i’ve had a few of those rants. a few thousand.
[Reply]
Damn! And we missed it. Is there any chance it was caught on film? I have a feeling you’re hot when you’re hot.
PS: Easy CT, I just want to watch.
[Reply]
Perez on The L Word? That would be a dream. I could see him being Alice’s BFF or her co-host on some show (like that View rip-off she hosted last season). Was that a permanent gig or she was a guest host? I forget.
What does “a peep” mean?
[Reply]
Perez Hilton would be hilarious as a friend of Alice’s. Hadn’t thought of that one, good call.
If by ‘peep’ you mean is she gay? No, Kathy’s straight, but the gay boys love her probably because she says whatever’s on her mind without any filters and she’s very gay friendly. Some of us gay girls love her too for the same reasons.
[Reply]
Tex…….. aren’t ‘peeps’ those marshmallow, pastel colored chickens that the Easter Bunny brings to little kids in their Easter baskets??
LBPeepsLover
xxoo
[Reply]
peep - slang for people… I subscribe to Peep magazine; synonym for anyone the same as you… Amy, Grace, Julia, and Kelly are peeps
If I remember correctly, Alice tried out for the job, but we never heard whether she got the gig or not? Another one of those Alice loose ends…..like her signing the nondisclosure agreement/statement to go to THE party and then posting the video outing the NBA player….sorry, that’s the liability geek in me coming through….
“That would be a dream.” Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking
[Reply]
Awww I was hoping I was one of your peeps.
[Reply]
tex-
gotcha. sorry i’m a dork. i knew that meaning, but didn’t know if had some other meaning in the gay world that i didn’t know about. ha. but no, she’s a straighty, but a major fag hag. love her.
[Reply]
I think she was being heckled by someone in Times Square. Of course, knowing Kathy there might have been no hecklers at all and she would have pretended there were for the sake of a joke. Love her!
[Reply]
Gah! I have been horrified by Peeps candy since I was like, five. It persists!
[Reply]
Peeps…..scary…….just like cats!!!!
[Reply]
Is there actually food in those chicks?
They scare me a bit……
[Reply]
hahaha! LongBeach I almost did the exact same thing with the marshmallow peeps! lol Great minds think alike.
xoxo - PK
[Reply]
obviously, i love her. maybe you are taking her too seriously? i didn’t think she was talking to AC, but even if she was, he knew she was joking and thought it was funny. i wouldn’t be surprised if they are friends.
[Reply]
That’s just because she’d let you have the cleavage.
[Reply]
OK ladies, enough with the peeps. You are mulling up Alice flashbacks.
Alice: Peeper! Peeper! My peeper wants….
I’m going to have this in my head all night.
[Reply]
Super Peeps, PK!
[Reply]
and clowns Kelakey…
don’t forget clowns!!!
Hee,Hee.
[Reply]
Humor is like artwork, we all have different tastes. It’s not the person, it’s the form of humor. I don’t care for that form of humor. I don’t like Thomas Kinkade paintings either and some people love them.
[Reply]
What would I do without you Itty…..I forgot the clowns…..I’ve been working to hard!! LOL!!!
How are you?
[Reply]
Agreed on all counts. She is a fabulous pretender/jokester! =)
[Reply]
I’m doing great!
How’s it going with you??
Miss seeing you around the threads…
don’t work too hard…
save some energy to ‘play’…
like I really need to tell you that.
[Reply]
Are you kidding Kelakey?
Little squishy, pastel colored chickens terrify you?
Oh, come on now….don’t be afraid.
Talk to Dr.LongBeach, it’ll be okay.
Just between you & I…. what’s up with the fear issues?
Cats, squishy peeps, clowns, …. what else?
Used tires? Pencils? Cans of soup?….. Popeye?
Hey K, check this out if you wanna see something that’ll scar(e) you !

[Reply]
Yep, among other things!
How you feeling, sweetheart?
[Reply]
Always energy to play…..;)
Miss hanging with my “peeps”
XO
[Reply]
Texy has had her tied up in the dumpster.
[Reply]
Nah, no hidden lesbionic meaning…..she can hang out with me. Come on, Kathy, hang out with me…..we’ll go where you’ve never gone before….curl that wig…..change that smurk to a permanent lesbian loving smile….
A+ loving,
Tex
[Reply]
Dr. LongBeach (that’s sexy)…..I may need to lay down and tell you all my fears…..;)
XO
[Reply]
Be afraid - very afraid. In the South, marshmallow Peeps are used for catfish bait - BIG CATFISH!
[Reply]
Would you like to stretch out on my “couch”, and talk ?? Or…… play with my stethoscope??

[Reply]
So, if we are what we eat…..do catfish taste like peeps?
They look kinda squishy.
Ewwwwwwww……….
[Reply]
Tex, you WOULD say this the day I’m making cajun style catfish for supper. Darn you!
And holy crap that’s a big fish!
[Reply]
Hahaha are they really Tex? I think you’re being goofy.
We have a book dedicated to peeps (I know I’m a big old library nerd, but trust me peeps are a cult favorite up here.)
[Reply]
Danm! I hand no idea they got that big! We thought we caught something rare when we pulled a foot long out of the reservoir. lol
[Reply]
Hi Lezbeth…
I wouldn’t mind living in one of Thomas Kincade’s country cottages, but… I don’t think I’d want to hang one of his paintings on the cottage wall.
Kinda weird, isn’t it.
[Reply]
I totally get it.
[Reply]
I feel the same way about some of his winter by the river/lake, no other abode in sight scenes.
Little house in big woods =
[Reply]
Good morning beautiful…….
The sun is shining, the ocean is glistening and Peacekitty is @ the park. It’s definately going to be a fabulous day !!
Enjoy your morning, afternoon and evening P/K…..

Live in Peace…
Love in Abundance…

[Reply]
i’m so glad you commented on that-it’s so funny to me. i like the lockjaw bit.
[Reply]
If it wasn’t so bloody funny I think I would be crying…into my burnt piece of bacon (I mean seriously, WTF???)
[Reply]
Hey Julia, I love fish (go figure) but everytime I’ve tried catfish I think they taste like muddy water. Is farm-raised any better?
[Reply]
Oh, Jules, cook that fish! I know how they’re raised and caught, and I still love catfish. Anyway, the farm raised fish you’re going to cook are fed catfish food - pellets of goodness.
That pic I found of the catfish - that’s actually not as big as I’ve seen in person. I saw a 98 pound fish in a lake in east Texas. A long time fisherman caught it - got it back to his boat dock - secured it there with a rope for all the gawkers to see. He killed the fish and attempted to filet it (yuks on many levels). The meat was inedible - too tough and tasted terrible. Poor fish….
Enjoy the Cajun cat,
Tex
[Reply]
Hello to you my sweet little poptart.
[Reply]
Awww, come on you two - ya’ll are sweeter than the Peeps - this dripping sugar is too much for me this morning, uh, afternoon!!!
Have a great day, ladies - going to go out into the sunshine myself today - get well with the rays…..
Love ya’ll,
Tex
[Reply]
For you P/K………..

[Reply]
Okay, I can answer that one - yes, farm-raised are better - that’s what you’re buying in the grocery store…..but don’t get me started on how they raise the fish……. hehehehehe
In a feisty mood today,
Tex
Note: those really big catfish that people catch are not usually eaten - they seriously taste like mud and all other things found at the bottom of rivers - catfish are bottom dwellers….
[Reply]
Southerners use their ingenuity when finding bait. Why, I’ve been known to use the red wasp nest itself when running low on the grubs. And yes, it works - catfish love wasp nests too. Peeps have actually been used - why, look at ‘em. They look like a gigantic fish bait! What’s really bad about it is that the water doesn’t change them much…..bait of choice for catfish is a concoction call “blood bait”. You should smell that…..and LB, yes, every creature is what they eat!
Craving fried catfish,
Tex
[Reply]
Speaking of Alcie….I was flipping through channels last night and landed on Showtime’s Season 3 L-word repeats and it was the scene where Alice is talking about her “vampire girlfriend with the insatiable appetite.” Aside from the fact I despise season 3 and wish it never happened…I have to admit I thought it was cool that they paid homage to the lesbian/vampire fantasy. Seems like that motif comes up again in season 6.
[Reply]
LMAO…….. Hi Tex !!
Have a great time outside, the weather is just awesome today. The weather guys are saying that by this weekend, it should be around 75° in here in So. California….. does life get any better??
Takin’ my dog to the beach,
LBDL
xxoo
[Reply]
Now, ladies…..
[Reply]
Riddle me this Tex,
Have they ever found any of those Mafia guys in the belly of a big old cat fish ?? Cement shoes, and all……….
[Reply]
Hummmm….. I’ve been told that I’m a “bottom dweller”.
Butt, that’s a whole different story !!
Yikes.
[Reply]
Answer for below riddle…..
Catfish may be dumb, but they’re smart enough to know not to get involved……
and speaking of other stories - I mistakingly threw something away yesterday, and Kelakey did some dumpster-diving for me to retrieve it…..the process of the successful attempt had me literally wetting myself I was laughing so hard…..
[Reply]
For Tex, below again
She went dumpster diving for you! Definitely coupling.
[Reply]
Oh please stop you two. It’s 25 degrees and snowing here….and i have to move in it this weekned.
I want to move to Texas or California.
[Reply]
Uh oh, I was afraid of that Tex…..
[Reply]
I would think peeps would make better bobbers. Don’t they float?
[Reply]
Don’t worry, LB, I’ve never known of a woman turning into a gigantic vajayjay!!!!!
and how do you make the smiley face’s mouth and brows move?
[Reply]
For Tex below
There are those who start out that way.
Vaginal Rejuvenation, anyone?
[Reply]
**Tex…I’m answering up here !!**
I won’t say anything about the gigantic ________ .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, let me see if I can explain the smiley face thingy……
To ‘animate’ the smiley face, do this :
Instead of typing in the eyes and smile, which will create the smiley…. do this (of course I can’t do it, or you will only see an animated smiley) heee heee….
Type this, please ignore the brackets [ : ] [ lol ] [ : ]
OR
You might want to checkout Grace’s tech blog. The one with the emoticons. I believe that it is also explained there…….

What is it with lesbians and vampires anyway?
[Reply]
Doesn’t do a damn thing for me on a sexual level, but I thought it was pretty funny when she had Alice “hanging out’.
[Reply]
I don’t know but I have to admit the thought of a seductive, beautiful lesbian vampire sinking her teeth into my neck certainly does it for me.
[Reply]
Perfect for a pastelly motel room in a forested tourist area. It would go well with a mauve and forest green polyester bedspread, don’t you think? :o)
[Reply]
Great! I’m up to jello and toast and made it through a whole day at work. I’m giddy in the glow of life away for PG. And going to bed very soon. lol
So, you got the gal dumpster diving now. Are you trying to make her sick too? I know misery loves company butt… Seriously, though; That’s a friend!
Hope you’re both doing well and enjoying the sunshine.
Tae
[Reply]
Whoopie really has been almost a non-entity the last couple of times I’ve seen the show. Pretty disappointing considering how she started off. But when she does get fired up…
[Reply]
Fishing lines have weights - you know that
Yo, LB, look! I made a laughing smiley face! Thanks
[Reply]
**Tex, I’m up here !!**
Most Excellent…
[Reply]
Really Tex? Are they by any chance called stinkers? As in hook, line, and stinker? Or, nothin’ beats being bracketed by a couple of stinkers.
You two are too cute!
[Reply]
i actually like burnt bacon…
[Reply]
lol—I was going to say the same thing. Back when I ate bacon I always asked the cook to burn it for me.
[Reply]
