Kourtney KARDASHIAN and Kristin CAVALLARI out to CELEBRATE SISTER Kim's OUSTER from DANCING WITH THE STARS!
Kim Kardashian got the boot last night. I saw one of the comments said that she was horrible. We learned the other day ole KIMMY likes a little girl on girl action and was sleeping with Paris and Nicole Richie and others. I wonder if Kristin and Kourt got a little thing going too!

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Back in late August Your Mama floated a (not very) blind item about a best friend battling gossip glossy favorite spending some of her not very hard earned reality show money on a new house in the hills above Hollywood. As many of y'all guessed correctly, the new home owner is none other than Audrina Patridge, dark haired gurl from The Hills, not the blond one who wants to be a fashion dee-ziner, but the one who aspires to be a mo-dell and ack-turuss. Yes, well, good luck with that baby gurl...Anyhoo, we know that many of you don't care nuthin' about those cat fighting kitties from The Hills and if we're telling the truth–and we always do–Your Mama does not either. In fact we've never even bothered to watch the damn program. However, the cast members' comings and goings have become inescapable for all us gossip glossy junkies who are forced to read about Heidi and Lauren and Audrina in between stories about real stars like Brad Pitt, Halle Berry and British singing sensation Robbie Williams...who Your Mama also hears is buying a new house. But more on that later.It's certainly no secret that Miss Patridge bought a new house. Oh no. As is typical with the publicity seeking lasses from The Hills, she's been yakking it up with all the paps and gossip glossies about how she felt like a guest living in the, uhm, guest house of Lauren's house in West Hollywood and how she needed more space for her clothes and accessories. Isn't that nice how her pee-pole have trained her to be so diplomatic? Most reports say that former BFFs Audrina and Lauren can't stand the sight of each other, but for all Your Mama knows, the whole hate each other thing could be made up for their stoopid show. Who knows? Who cares?According to our source Lucy Spillerguts and confirmed with property records, Miss Patridge paid $1,290,000 for her newly constructed "Spanish Villa" on Bryn Mawr Drive that includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a gore-may kitchen with a window shoved up into the ceiling and more tile floors than in all of Spain itself.What is most interesting to Your Mama about Miss Patridge's purchase is that as far as we can tell (from the listing information we saved all those weeks ago), the house was last listed at $1,199,000 which means that according to our beloved and bejeweled abacus the reality show personality paid more than the asking price for her new house with it's built-in microwave oven and resort like entertainer's patio. More! That, children, just isn't happening that much anymore.There's really no point in discussing the rather bland and beige day-core seen in the photographs because that is clearly the work of Staging Lady in a Pink Toyota. And not some of her best work either. Your Mama hopes Miss Partridge has the good sense to hire one of her nice gay decorator friends to get up in there and work it out. The first thing Your Mama would suggest is to go out and buy some damn rugs to cover up some of that beige tile that has been laid down, seemingly, throughout the entire house. Who does that? Why? The builder couldn't have mixed it up with some nice dark floors in the living and dining rooms? Pleeze.At least the place has some pretty nice views over looking the glittery lights of Los Angeles.
Property records also reveal that Miss Patridge's new next door neighbor is How I Met Your Mother actor Josh Radnor who paid 1.1 million clams for his house in June of 2007 for his 1926 Spanish style house with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.Now then, let's move on and hope none of these other folks from The Hills bother to buy a house because Your Mama ain't got nuthin' left to say about them.
Living in Atlanta it is hard to believe anyone would pay over a million dollars for a 3 bedroom. In Atlanta, the same thing would be a max 400K. Looks like it has really good view though.
LAUREN CONRAD out in LA on September 30, 2008!
I like it when she wears just jeans and a button down - Cute.
Whitney PORT out SHOPPING in the BIG APPLE!
Wearing the skirt from her own collection. Did she get lip injections now? Looks like it. I don't love this look. I guess it edgy but.....
REAL TALK - Presidential ELECTION!
Maybe you have been following the talk of a bailout on Capital Hill the last week or so, if you haven't, what you have missed is the usual, the status quo, democrats blaming republicans, the republicans blaming the democrats and nothing getting accomplished which has become the New America.
More than ever, we as a society, feel the need to label ourselves a democrat or a republican and more than ever we feel the need to bash the other side and no matter what defend our side. But what has been lost is America.
Listen, I have been guilty too to some extent. I lean toward the republicans almost exclusively though I did vote both terms for Bill Clinton. The reality is though the republicans no longer represent my beliefs and neither do the democrats. As a business person, my number one issue consistently is taxes. But I also realize we have let the national deficit balloon and that is the fault of George Bush, the republicans and the democrats, it is all their faults and it is our fault too. It is our fault because even with an insane deficit, many of you want more, free healthcare, I want tax cuts, gays want marriage, etc.
Here's the reality, much like we have credit card limits, the american credit card is maxed out, And we all better get on the same page on this one. We need to be cutting spending drastically and we need in all honesty to begin to raise taxes to increase revenues to pay down this deficit. In all honesty, that means no government healthcare, strategic social security and medicare as they are the two biggest programs, programs that will begin to run worse and worse deficits. What does that mean? It means more people are retiring and drawing social security and medicare than the revenues from you and I, the working people, are coming in. Thats a problem.
Do the Kennedys or the Bushes really need social security? I think not. Does Bill Gates one day need to recieve social security? Warren Buffett? Of course not.
How do we accomplish paying down this national debt. I believe we need a small national sales tax 1 or 2% on all goods and services, with the clear understanding that the funds are used for one purpose, to pay down the national debt. Not for schools, not for roads, nothing but the national debt. And once the debt is payed down, the tax is removed.
And you might say well thats not fair to the very poor. It is. The wealthy you are, face it, the more you consume.
What will this do? This will significantly strengthen the dollar. This will allow your dollar to go much further in the goods you purchase.
It will also make are far less prone to negative foreign influence.
Do I want to pay another tax? NO. But will I in this case, absolutly.
The country needs drastic reforms to social security where everyone does not recieve it. Same with medicare. Am I happy that I pay all this money into a program and recieve no benefits - Yes. But I also realize their are some people that need it to live or they would be homeless.
We need to set a timetable to hand Iraq back to Iraq. Or if they ask us to stay any longer, than we should be recieving a benefit from that such as cheap oil. I don't care if the Iraqi's make a profit, but Iraq should be selling us our oil needs at a steep discount to market. I believe $60 to $70 a barrell is fair. They make a profit. Our gas and fuel costs drop atleast 25%.
We also need to all get on the same page on energy. Hybrids are an answer. Oil is going to continue to be part of the answer. We also need compressed natural gas vehicles and infrastructure. The more options their are, the lower the overall demand for each will be and the lower cost you and I will pay.
My point to this post, we all need stop think only about the amerIca needs and get back to thinking about America. We need to demand the excesses be cleaned up, the waste, the useless programs - every government budget needs to be cut, we need to get more effective. That combined with a national sales tax aimed only at paying down the debt, will begin to put this country back on track.
If you have credit card debt, you really need to get it under control and start paying it down and adjust your spending level. You'll be much happier in both the short and long term. If you have a car loan, you really need to look at downsizing next time and getting something you can pay cash for. Eliminate the debt. Get back to living within your means. It will be better for you and the country.
