Former teen idol Leif Garrett comments on Paramount Pictures’ decision to end its 14-year relationship with Tom Cruise over his increasingly outspoken proselytizing for Scientology

Garrett:  “I’m not much into the Scientology myself, but I did once cut a half-dozen Paxils with a line of Flake, and I gotta admit, for a few moments there, that shit had me believing in space aliens, too.

“Not only that, but it cost less than joining the Church, and there were no funny hats involved—unless you count waking up on Mulholland with a passed out Adrian Zmed sitting on your face. 

“Though that was pretty clearly just a coincidence.”*

    Speaking of coincidence:  Zmed ended his relationship with Garrett for his proctologizing.

    Hey, I knew Hollywierd was chock-full of crazed, drug-addled assholes, but man

    Oh – does this mean “Trapped in the Closet” is back in the South Park rotation?

    SB: saying

    crazy talk

  3. McGehee says:

    This is the second time Adrian Zmed’s name has crossed my attention in the last couple of days.

    He was in attendance at Comedy Central’s William Shatner roast. Jason Alexander said they would have let him participate in the roast but they needed celebrities.

    Then he turned around and described the roasters as “a veritable Who’s That of comedy.”

    Except for Shatner’s rebuttal that was pretty much the highlight of the evening.

    Yes, I believe it does.

    Adieu, Monsieur Cruise. Bon voyage.

    waking up on Mulholland with a passed out Adrian Zmed sitting on your face.

    Ah, now that is a vivid image of an asshat.

    God I hope so.  If anyone hasn’t seen that episode yet, you need to make sure you see it.  Tape it.  Tivo it.  Whatever you need to do.

    Laughed so hard I messed myself.

    It is, it was on a while back. 

    That episode has many lessons to teach us, most importantly, never use John Travolta to get someone out of the closet.

    R Kelly isn’t too helpful, either:

    “aaand then I pull out my guuu-uun…”

    <screams>

    “Oh, God, there he goes with the gun again.”

    Katie, I know a place you can rebound. Everything will be just fine, girlfriend.

  10. Sticky B says:

    Leif’s OK, but I miss Shannon Elizabeth’s nipples. I really, really do.

  11. Shannon says:

    Hah. As if I would let someone known only as “Sticky B” anywhere near my nipples!

    Dream on, loser.
