“So I say, ‘Live and let live. ‘That’s my motto: ‘Live and let live.’ Anyone who can’t go along with that, take him outside and shoot the motherf*cker. It’s a simple philosophy, but it’s always worked in our family.” – George Carlin view link

Greetings, darlings.

Such sad news.... George Carlin, one of the smartest, take-no-prisoners comedians this country ever produced, has gone to that great comedy gig in the sky. And in the spirit of his famous “filthy words” routine about the seven words you can’t say on TV, let’s all say, “Oh, F*CK!” together. Ok. I will be good now but I had to do that for George.

And if the above digression got your panties in wad, get over it and let’s get on with some more cheerful gossip.

Ellen DeGeneres, who won her fourth consecutive Daytime Emmy for talk show host Friday night and who has found her “ soul mate” love almost as many times as Elizabeth Taylor found husbands, is planning what she calls her “dream wedding “ with current ( and, I hope, permanent) love, Australian import Portia de Rossi . De Rossi is sporting a gorgeous ring from Ellen featuring loads of pink diamonds.

I haven’t heard the date that’s been set but the wedding list is going to be a WHOPPER. Even the gardener’s invited!

Remember who Diana Bianchi is, darlings? No? I’m so glad. She deserves to be forgotten as yet another bimbo du jour whose fleeting fame has petered out, so to speak.
She’s the young woman who, at 18, had sex with her boss who happened to be married to the always gorgeous and classy Christie Brinkley. And Brinkley kicked hubby Peter Cook out and to the curb when she found out about it.

Well, who knew? The divorce isn’t a done deal and is just now headed for trial (it begins July 2). And Bianchi is again savoring her upcoming 15 minutes of fame because she will probably have to testify.
Of course, she has a lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, who is blabbing to any reporter he can find that she doesn’t want publicity. Uh-huh. She’s just a “budding singer trying to keep her anonymity”. Oh, PUHLEAZE...

Christie, by the by, was just spotted in the Hamptons last Saturday night with her daughter , a REAL entertainer, Alexa Ray Joel, as she accepted a humanitarian award at the American Heart Association's annual gala.

Speaking of entertainers, Celine Dion did such an unseemly, make that “horrendous” cover of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" in a Vegas show SIX YEARS AGO, it has never been forgotten. Or forgiven. Her version of the rock classic has – ta da -- officially been voted the worst cover song of all time by a panel of experts from Total Guitar magazine. "Cover versions have never been bigger but the number one worst cover song – Celine Dion covering AC/DC – is sacrilege", wrote Total Guitar's editor Stephen Lawson.

This just in: the Governator is too hot, like most everyone else in California during a godawful heat wave. So Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called the National Guard to fight about 400 fires burning up Northern California and then took off for a break on the beach in Cancun, Mexico. And, despite earlier photos showing a paunch, I must say ol’ Arnold is back in tip top shape.

“Get me to the church on time!” may apply to brides and grooms but model Kate Moss didn’t seem interested in delaying a wedding last weekend. It wasn’t hers but Rolling Stone guitarist’s Ron Wood’s daughter’s wedding... Moss moseyed on in late, pausing for photogs outside, seemingly oblivious to the time she was supposed to arrive for the nuptials. Can you say “bad manners”? Sheesh.

Anyhoo, adorable sometimes model Leah Wood married her TV exec boyfriend of over a decade, Jack Macdonald at Southwark Cathedral in Central London. She wore a retro-ish cream satin dress with a six-foot train, and arrived – on time -- at the church in a maroon Rolls-Royce with her rocker papa. Guests included Rolling Stones Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (with wife Patti Hansen looking FABO in a super short ‘do).
Mick’s ex, model Jerry Hall, was there accompanied by the Jaggers’ youngest spawn, Gabriel.

You know one thing I always love about Jerry? She al
ways looks so sunny and downright happy! You GO, Jerry!!
You know who else always seems awfully happy and relaxed – that king of Playboy himself, Hugh Hefner.

Think it is all the babes he still supposedly beds at the infamous Playboy mansion? A new book just out, "Mr. Playboy: Hugh Hefner and the American Dream", says Hef has experimented with guys, too.

But is it true?

Hmmmm... sounds like it. Hefner issued this statement: "this is the most authoritative book ever written about me . . . It's all essentially true."
