Elizabeth: “I met John-John when he was still as Senator, but to be honest, I was so high on X that all I recall from the evening was his inviting me over to ‘the other America,’ where, if memory serves, he was going to dress me up like a naughty asian housekeeper and spank me ‘deliciously’ with a vacuum cleaner cord. Which, that’s okay in the other America, even if

Peter Fonda comments on folk legend Bob Dylan’s tepid “endorsement” of Barack Obama
Fonda: “One time, Hopper and I were scouting locations in Yuma, and this young, sundrenched chick in a tattered Hopi poncho shuffles up to us and is like, ‘hey, man. Can you maybe spare some change?’ “– And Hopper, without missing a beat, looks her in the eye and says, ‘No. But what I can offer you is some hope.” Totally deadpan. Then, after a beat, ‘ –On the other

Shannon Elizabeth comments on "white privilege" as it obtains in feminist circles
Elizabeth: “One time, while explaining to Marlon Wayans and Method Man why it wasn’t cool for them to pin me down and smear my breasts with Coconut milk and Aveeno, I had what we sisters like to call an epiphany — namely, that I was being unfair to my Black brothers, holding back the fruits of my white privilege from the victim class like that, even if I was doing

Shannon Elizabeth comments on Captain Ed’s decision to shut down Captain’s Quarters in favor of a spot on Michelle Malkin’s Hot Air
Elizabeth: “I don’t have the foggiest idea who this Captain Ed guy is, to be honest — but if he owns a really nice boat and can score us some X, I’d be willing to give him a shot. ” — Speaking of which, Ted Turner once told me that the salt air had so plumped my nipples that he feared the pressure would force them to go spinning off

Peter Fonda comments on President Ahmanihoweveritsspelled's visit to Columbia University
Fonda: “There was a time in the late 60s when Morningside Heights was like, a total hotbed of political activity — a place where the Black Power movement met up with cultural aestheticians, avant garde artists, young intellectuals, and far east gurus, to form a kind of intense porridge of love, idealism, and militant activism. “Which never really amounted to much politically, in retrospect — but at the time, that’s

Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the WaPo story touting an unnamed official’s leaking of a “strikingly negative” draft progress report on the surge strategy
Garrett: “I once had an unsourced leak myself, but a doctor at the clinic on Sunset was able to treat it with an aggressive regimen of hot compresses and ciprofloxacin. “It wasn’t until much later that I found out who gave me the damn thing — and I can almost guarantee you she knew what she was doing, having never really gotten over the one time she came off the

Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the University of Cardiff study showing that women in their 40s are more likely to binge drink than their younger counterparts
Garrett: “Well, I guess I could speculate about why this might be — depression over aging, the pressures of work, loneliness — but, hell, why bother, man? “Bottom line? That’s just more late night tail for me. And what makes it doubly cool is that, if you make sure you get all tweaked out on X before hitting the loveshack, all that slurring and stumbling around makes it seem like

Shannon Elizabeth comments on Michael Moore's controversial new documentary on the state of health care, Sicko
Elizabeth: “Actually, I haven’t seen it yet — though for the record, I can’t see myself disliking a movie that demands the government foot the bill for those insanely expensive henna infusion treatments I use to keep my nipples shiny and plump like laquered raspberry gumdrops.* ” — Speaking of which, have I ever told you about the time Bill Richardson showed up at my house in a matador jacket

Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on the deepening of the Rosie O'Donnell / Elisabeth Hasselback falling out
Garrett: “It’s unfortunate, but in this business — the entertainment business, I mean, not drug rehab — these kinds of messy divorces happen sometimes. To give you just one example, Susanna Hoffs, whom I once considered a good friend, still won’t talk to me — all because I got zoomed on Special K at a Bangles concert in like, ’87, and afterwards supposedly spent a few minutes crawling around backstage
Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on Oprah Winfrey’s tireless support for Barack Obama
Garrett: “This might have nothing to do with the question, I admit, but — from my perspective — I’d explain it this way: if a building were on fire, and it came down to my having to save either, say, Kirk Cameron, or Spider Pedro, the guy who scores me my rock, Cameron would be a Left Behind potato crisp. “Harsh, I know. But deep down, a person has to
