Why I love my guy Dave (and SNL's homage to Iran's president)

I actually watched this interview two nights ago on Jack TV and couldn't stop from rolling down the aisle from sheer hysterical laughter. David Letterman is just relentless in his interview of hotel heiress Paris Hilton, pressing her to talk about her time in the slammer. (I didn't realize she was actually that dumb. All the while I thought it was just an act – something like Ruffa Mae Quinto does – pretending to be stupid and all but actually isn't? But just look at her empty eyes...there's no sign of intelligent life there! As sister Juneza says, Josh!)

Paris squirms from Dave's torture and he just doesn't care! Talk about interview technique – Dave shifts between patronizing her, to get her to talk some more, and then makes fun of her by asking her more questions about her jail time. Boy is she really sorry now to have promoted her new fragrance on Dave's show. All she could do was pout. Oh what fun!

Anyway, enjoy this clip.



OH, and here's a sweet one from the SNL guys spoofing president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who was recently in New York and had declared in a speech at the Columbia University last week: “In Iran, we don’t have homosexuals like in your country.” The music video stars that cuddly Andy Samberg, Fred Armisen, with major backup vocal from yummy Adam Levine of Maroon 5 (and no, he's not gay ok?) and a cameo by Jake Gyllenhaal (he of Brokeback Mountain and who btw, did a fabulous spoof of the Dreamgirls song "And I'm telling you..." on SNL just this year). Funny, aren't all these guys Jewish? Well, President Mahmoud does deny the Holocaust happened as well...nuts!

Monday bitching...Ruffa, the woman with 9 lives

I don't know how you guys are taking the weekend pronouncements of Ruffa Gutierrez, the latest Pinoy celebrity who has confessed to having been physically abused by one's spouse.

Normally, I feel sympathy towards women who have been abused and violated by their husbands, or men in general. But in Ruffa's case, I somehow find some of her statements almost unbelievable. (This woman, after all, was involved in the 1994 Manila Film Fest scam, along with her mother, the irrepressible Annabel Rama, brother Rocky, and that woman with the truly unforgettable name...Viveka Babajee.) I mean, being physically abused for 15 hours daw? Buhay pa sya? Then she says she was electrocuted by hubby Yilmaz Bektas while she was in the bathtub...again, buhay pa din sya? My God! This woman must have 9 lives, like a cat!

So the beatings began even before she and Yilmaz were married...so what possessed her to marry him? That's awfully stupid isn't it? I mean, all this time I thought she had some brains to go with her beauty...Baka nasilaw sa dami ng carats na binigay ni "lovee" anoh? Ayan, nainggit kasi ke Greta.

Btw, how come not one showbiz TV host has actually pinned down Ruffa and gotten a real honest answer on whether or not she was married to one Richard Daiola prior to Yilmaz? Who the hell is this guy and why, despite the massive resources of both GMA News and ABS-CBN/ANC News, he has yet to be unearthed. No one has secured even one photo of this mystery man.

Naku 'dong, bet you there's gonna be a Ruffa Gutierrez Story film out soon. Heh!
