Tori Spelling engaged again!

[Jara sang]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Tori Spelling is engaged, just months after separating from her first husband, People and Us Weekly magazines reported Tuesday. Actor Dean McDermott, who has been dating the former "Beverly Hills, 90210" star for several months, proposed Christmas Eve in Toronto.



"We're so incredibly happy and in love. We cannot wait to start our lives together," the couple said in a joint statement to People. Us Weekly first reported the engagement.



Calls by The Associated Press to Spelling's publicist Tuesday weren't immediately returned. Spelling, 32, and McDermott, 39, met earlier this year while working on the TV movie "Mind Over Murder."



In October, actor-writer Charlie Shanian filed for divorce from Spelling, a little more than a year after they were married. McDermott filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Mary Jo Eustace, in September. They have one child together.



Spelling's father is television producer Aaron Spelling.

1. Maybe if they got married in N.O. we could finally get some press

:sarcasm:

Brilliant! I'll drink a Guinness to that... :beer:

20. Please,

just leave the limburger cheeseheads at home.

[ChickMagic]

2. Excellent juxtaposition!

Well done. :applause:

Trivia: Aaron Spelling was a cheerleader at SMU when my dad went there.

3. Nice Work!

but the junk news and gossip shit sells. I was at the store and saw a mag w/ Jennifer
Anniston on the cover ..... "Jen gets her life back together." I was like "Tom doesn't
give a shit."

19. Nice to see other people talk back to those mags in the checkout stand

"Like I care?!" is one of my favorite lines.

4. Fabulous Post!

5. I get your point but reality is still reality

Im one of those folks who doesnt give a shit about movie stars and their antics. To me who they marry divorce, screw around on is as interesting as the antics as the jones family who lives three counties over. I just don't care.

But some people do and thats why the media reports on it.

But the media also reports on far more important matters such as what you have pictured. Certainly Katrina and its victims garnered far more news than the antics of Tory Spelling. Unless of course you took those photos yourself, those are from the media.

Ok, so I guess Im not sure what your point is, now that I think about it.

(on edit: It is a good contrast though between poor and rich america, and perhaps thats what you wanted us to think about)

6. That is complete bull shit.

People are "told" by the media what they want and what they are supposed to care about. Even a month straight of Katrina news coverage doesn't compare with how much "face time" Tori Spelling has gotten over the years, if you choose to look at it in those terms.

8. Well I agree that Tori spelling has been walking around a long time

Alot longer certainly than Katrina has been in the common vocabulary.

But really, I don't recall 24x7 Tori Spelling coverage this summer.

If it did, I would have thrown my TV out the window.


But yes...sadly people ARE told what to care about by the media.

22. If there were onlyt 3 networks, I could see a mention or two

of celebrity news, but there are HUNDREDS of channels, and tons of them devoted, supposedly, to ONLY entertainment and fluff.. The cross pollination of channels all owned by the same corporation is what the problem is.

How many times have we seen "shows" where they pretend to be news-oriented, yet the only interview other paid commentators of the same news "family"?

7. Wait, I can't find Tori in ANY of these pics...

What a jip! lol. Excellent way to call attention to how the MSM distracts the people and what they are trying to distract us FROM!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

10. And here I was getting all worked up....

I was going to demand to know why this thread wasn't in the lounge.

my bad. :)

[kliljedahl]

9. I was about to give you some shit about your post

until I saw what you had done. Very nice job, thanks for a jolt of reality. K&R

11. The Spellings Benefit Greatly from Bush's Tax Cuts

Think about Bush's tax cuts.

Dividends tax cuts (The Spellings must have a lot. They can easily buy stocks that pay out dividends enough to surpass most people's entire annual salary.)

Estate tax cuts (Tori will be able to inherit ALL of that "Charlie's Angels-Beverly Hills 90210-Melrose Place-Charmed-Love Boat-Dynasty" residual money, completely tax free.)

How much taxes will they take from your check this week?

12. I rarely nominate threads, but I voted for this one.

Sad as it is to say, I am cracking up here, actualy laughing out loud as I write this. As sad as the New Orleans situation is, your post and the work you did in it is hilarious. Absolutely superlative!

[YOY]

13. Talk about bitter sweet laughter

Great post. Reminds me of my reaction every time I see news about Paris Hilton, Tom Cruise, or Madonna... Grunting 'who the fuck cares?' and changing the chanel.

[RobertSeattle]

14. Kudos

Another useless story about someone who has no real impact on any of our lives, nor ever will.

[walldude]

15. Boy, I was gonna let you have it for posting this in GD

till I opened the thread. Brilliant. :toast:

16. When I saw this headline in "greatest", I knew it would be just that.

Powerful stuff.

It reminds me of the old "Onion" headline sometime after 9/11. It went something like "Americans Once Again Obsessed With Useless Crap".

The corporate media showed some signs of life when Katrina first hit, but too many have gone back to the old whoring ways.

I fear that the media's lack of hard coverage on the Gulf Coast has convinced folks all is goinmg well.

All is not well. Thousands are still unaccounted for, and the woes continue on from there.

21. Scary when the "fake news" is right on the money.

[Karenina]

17. Yup.

:kick:

[tavalon]

18. Got me!

I was pissed that something with that title made it onto the greatest page. Teach me to assume, eh?:silly:

23. Yes, and "Bo Battles Carrie on Charts"

"Idol" Rerun: Bo Battles Carrie on Charts

By David Jenison Thu Dec 22, 6:32 PM ET

Nothing quite captures the holiday spirit like American Idol stars fighting for stocking-stuffer supremacy.



And once again Bo Bice's strong showing was no match for the force that is Carrie Underwood. The country songbird, who beat the country rocker on the fourth American Idol last spring, proved her supremacy in record sales.



For the week ended Sunday, Bice's debut album The Real Thing sold 227,000 first-week copies to land at number four, according to Nielsen SoundScan. By comparison, Underwood's Some Hearts, which moved 315,000 copies in its opening five weeks ago, sold 271,000 last week to jump to number two.



Underwood and Bice previously released dueling CD-single versions of "Inside Your Heaven" a week apart last June. While both singers topped the singles chart in their respective weeks, Underwood sold slightly more first-week copies; to date, her single's outsold Bice's 444,000 to 331,000.

24. This is the best picture I've ever seen of Bush.

Sums him up perfectly. The man is terrified. look how much lower he is ducking under that wire. He is actually cowering.
