Emmy Awards went last Sunday. Some highlights: Breaking Bad was a big winner, the show finally, fittingly, landed the award for Best Drama Series. Netflix show House of Cards made a bit of history, becoming the first online show to win an Emmy. And, missed it myself, but I hear Neil Patrick Harris deserves and award for thankfully making the Emmys watchable!
Kurt Cobain’s mom has put the family home up for sale. Included in the deal will be family photos, Kurt’s old mattress –yeah, cause you really want that-- and other items. Assessed for 67 thousand dollars, the house is listed for 500 thousand dollars. Money grab much? Kurt’s Mom is also open to the idea of making it into a museum. Really?!…It’ll have that used mattress and all…but ask yourself lady, are you sure Cobain-land, has the same panache as Elvis’s Graceland?, just sayin’
A man in Colombia recently almost had his junk amputated after he overdosed on Viagra, trying to impress his new girlfriend. The man was aroused for several days, during which his ‘little Columbian’: developed an infection…he fractured it (I don’t even wanna know how)…and it got gangrene; ouch! Surgeons had to operate to keep the gangrene from spreading, fortunately, they didn’t have to chop it off…
Lesson learned, if you want to impress your girlfriend, stick to buying her flowers!
Fans of late night TV one for you. NBC is planning a mini-series about Johnny Carson's life. Following NBC tradition, I hear once they cast the title role they plan to go back on their word and give it to Jay Leno.
And here’s the new Best Job Ever: NASA is hiring “Pillownauts”. You can get paid over 5 thousand dollars a month to spend your days in bed to measure the effects of microgravity on the body. The Pillownauts will be allowed to play video games, watch DVDs and read books. Painful irony, you are out busting your ass everyday, and, the laziest person you know has a better chance of landing a job at NASA then you do

These Are The Things I Think About -- Sept9th-22nd
TV and Movie actor Sir Patrick Stewart got married last weekend. It is his 3rd marriage; I hear instead of “I Do”, Patrick told the minister “Make It So Number 1”…My desk neighbour at work, Jimmy, --check him out HERE-- had a better one: When asking her to marry him, Patrick pulled out the ring, got down on one knee and said “engage”...that's gold!!
For 70 million dollars you can buy Wayne Newton’s old house. You get a lot for the 70 million, the property includes a car museum, horse stables, and, an airplane hangar that fits a jumbo jet!…Betting the builder who got the contract for those jobs said Danke Schoen to Wayne for the cash.
Too weird to make up. Sharon Osbourne claims she had a fling with Jay Leno. This years ago after meeting at a club in the 70's...Hmmm, a flashy story about Jay Leno, that’s real a chin scratcher.
Clint Eastwood is pulling a Shania Twain, the ole spouse swaperoony*. Clint and his wife are separating, and word is Clint has now hooked up with the ex-wife of the man his wife is hooked up with…He wasn’t very romantic though, saying ‘Are you feeling lucky, dumped”…to her right before asking her out the first time.
Harrison Ford will be getting a lifetime achievement award at the Hollywood Film Awards next month. No word on if he’s going with a date, or Solo -Zing!
The Ed Sullivan theatre will likely be ramped up with security Monday. Home of the Late Show with David Letterman. Former US president Bill Clinton will be on the show. Between Dave and Bill, those interns better have some security guards themselves!
Finally, a man in Germany’s Beer Belly lived up to it's name. He kept getting drunk, just by eating. And superdrunk too, blowing alcohol levels of .37. Turns out he had a yeast build up in his stomach. Everything he ate got fermented, getting him hammered. Talk about a cheap date!
-Gilmore
--Oh P.S. *-Incase no one has yet laid claim, I’m calling “swaperooney” as an official Gilmore invented word...You're welcome, use it at will.
P.S.S.-- We are now just 93 days until Christmas. Get this, Bad Religion is coming out with an album of holiday music. Simply called 'Christmas Songs', they’ll be covering traditional holiday classics. Like this one:

These Are The Things I Think About -- Aug19th-Sept8th
End of summer vacation time has been on my docket as of late. Let’s catch up! Here’s what’s been going on lately:
Betty White is going being recognized for her longevity. Guinness Book of World Records say Betty is now the title holder of “Longest TV Career for a Female Entertainer”. Betty started in radio in 1939. Wonder if Larry King hired her.
Paul Giamatti is set to star in a new Television show. Titled Hoke. He’ll play the title character, a police detective on the streets in Miami during the 80s. Will Crocket and Tubbs make an appearance?..tune in to find out!
Lots of superhero info & rumours as of late. The Man of Steel, Superman sequel; Confirmed, Ben Affleck will play Batman in the movie. Rumour was Bryan Cranston will play Lex Luthor, however this is looking like BS. And, word is Detroit has been chosen as the filming location for the movie…Sadly this choice will likely save producers money on gun shot sound effects and condemned building settings.
Happy birthday to Google. Founded in a garage in 1998, the search engine turned 15 this past Wednesday. Don’t believe me?, Google it!
If you don’t mind tweeting your phone number, you might get a celebrity phone call. Tweet Aaron Paul, who plays Jesse on “Breaking Bad” your number and he might randomly call you. Tweet me anytime too @GenuineGilmore just don’t expect a phone call*.
And next time yo go shopping, watch for Bruce Willis. Your latest Bruce Willis fact: he likes to shop at Costco. Says he cannot resist a good bargain…Costco, the only place you can get 48 Yippie Kay Yays for the price of 10 anywhere else!

--Oh P.S. *-Unless you want me talking to you on a phone like this:
…This was my hotel room discovery while on vacation.
