“Blackberry cobbler”?

Either the kids have some crazy new slang I’m not familiar with or you need to see a urologist.

Charo is also a world-class flamenco guitarist.

And just for the sake of trivia she’s the first person to introduce _The Macarena_ to English speaking audiences (she was singing it in her nightclub act a year before it became a superhit). She’s also one of the few celebs to lie about her age and make herself older (something about morals charges that could conceivably have been filed when she was Xavier Cougat’s girlfriend [later wife] as a minor [he was a senior]).

Having waited on a large amount of celebrities (maybe as many as a thousand) in the past ten years (as a bartender), by far the strangest moment involved Seacrest.

IIRC, it was a comedy awards show and he was standing about four feet from my bar and _just glaring_ at me. I tried to ignore him, lowered my head for a few seconds, then look up again, and there he was – still glaring at me. I dropped head again, pretended to do something, look back up, he’s still there! Like he wanted to kick my ass (or was grinding big time from some coke).

He’s a little guy so I had to suppress laughter, but I have a theory on it. One of my better gay friends told me that before he realized he was gay he would have a violent nature toward other males, guys he recognized later to be attracted to. I don’t consider myself super-attractive, but I used to get hit on quite a bit, especially around then (baldness and cellulite have put an end to that). I think either Seacrest himself might be a little confused where he fits in or is suppressing it. That said, I’m far from a pundit on this matter. Just a theory.

FWIW, he was an excellent radio personality here I thought, and I consider that a talent.

You see, it’s fun to pick on people, sometimes. I’m not the Hollywood-gossippy type by any means, but if he is, that’s fine.

My favorite barb in this battle was by David Spade. On his show on Comedy Central, he showed a picture of Seacrest and Teri Hatcher kissing. Spade says “Wait a second…Teri Hatcher is a dude?”

Makes me giggle every time I hear it because it’s just so damned cold and is two birds with one stone.

Gold.  
And I don’t really know who ryan seacrest is. But Terri Hatcher scares me.

Interesting theory. I’ve gotten wasted before and wanted to batter a few guys in my time. Does that mean I am secretly gay? Perhaps he was just pissed you didn’t get his drink order. Seems odd for him to want to kick your arse for no apparent reason.

There you go.

I also read (Biggest Secrets) she legally changed her age to 10 years younger. Ah, who can forget the wonderful Merv Griffin appearances. Merv had some cool guests, when you think about it.

Including, according to the rumor mill, Ryan Seacrest. If by “guest” you mean “alleged boytoy who exchanged sexual favors for career boosts. Allegedly.”

You’re telling me. He never came up and ordered, just stood back five feet away, glaring. Remember the part where I mentioned it was the strangest moment – or were you so enraged you forgot? :dubious:

If by enraged you mean that I was too busy noticing your chiseled good looks, then yes.

Please shot her, then.

I ask you in the name of several million Spanish women who remember that the song is a marching soldier’s song with lyrics appropiate _only_ to all-male, we-need-to-show-we’re-macho-while-walking-in-step settings. Songs about sex with goats are more popular with Spanish women than that thing.
