When Multi-Millionaire’s Act Like Ass-Hats
Ode to the Low-Rent POS
Actors, musicians, and athletes have been put on a pedestal since the beginning of time. Some are modest, humble, gracious, and so very thankful and polite to everyone that they meet. But those aren’t the ones who make the headlines. The headlines are for the Ass-Hats – the haughty low-rent turds who believe that they are better than the rest – the one’s who believe that it’s ALL about them, ALL of the time. Their egos are mammoth, their heads are swelled, yet the world continues to embrace their most egregious stupidity.
The beautiful people have been making jerks out of themselves for eons, and in recent days, they did not disappoint.
“If I could, I would take this (expletive) ball and shove it down your (expletive) throat. You better be (expletive) right! You don’t (expletive) know me!”
Ah…the sweet and loving words of tennis star Ms. Serena Williams, as she verbally abused and threatened an official during a match in this week’s US Open. Williams was called for a foot fault at a most crucial point in the match and launched a verbal tirade against a timid woman line judge who looked as if she thought Serena was about to get medieval on her ass. The official quickly ran to the dude in the lifeguard chair and the next thing you know, Williams is sent to the showers.
Australian tennis veteran Renae Stubbs said, “I don’t think people realize the amount of stress players are under.” What a bullshit comment, one that I personally took offense to. Can we imagine the stress the likes of Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Derek Jeter, and Eli Manning, have been under? All have acted like class acts and perfect gentlemen while performing on the biggest stage, at the highest levels humanly possibly. And of course US Open announcer John McEnroe, the biggest spoiled brat of them all, defended Williams, claiming that you can’t make a call of that nature in that situation. Johnny Mac may have been the biggest ass-hat of them all as he threw little-rich-boy temper tantrums during his hey day, and abused officials beyond reproach. The guy couldn’t stand losing and it turned my stomach to watch his infantile rants during high profile matches.
And now we turn to last night’s MTV Video Music awards where the ass-hattery was in high gear.
“Yo, Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyoncé has one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!”
Those were the poignant words of one Kanye West who grabbed the mic from Taylor Swift’s hands while she was about to give her heartfelt thanks to the audience, as she won the award for Best Female Performance. The young star looked in shock as West acted like what Sanford and Son’s Aunt Esther used to refer to as a “Fool’s idea of a fool.” I personally wish Esther was there to bitch-slap that ingrate upside the head as he so rudely made a bigger jackass of himself than Johnny Knoxville ever could.
“I was excited to be onstage because I just won the award. And then I was excited that Kanye West was onstage. Then, I wasn’t excited anymore,” Swift said, afterwards. Thankfully, Radio City Music Hall security escorted the boisterous West out of the building where he walked 7th Ave looking for a place that served some “fishsticks.” (South Park reference for those in the know.)
Low-rent multi-millionaires have forever been making a mockery of themselves for as long as I remember, yet we still attend their movies, listen to their music, and watch their ball games. Kid Rock likes to mix it up whenever he frequents his favorite Waffle House. Tommy Lee has been known to assault a person or two. Denis Rodman has performed 
his freak show antics. Melissa Rivers showed her obnoxious, spoiled little rich-bitch side on the Apprentice. Rosie O’donnell has waved her man-hands in irate disgust. Terrell Owns, is well, he’s Terrell Owens, dammit. And Britney Spears has so eloquently proven that you can take the hillbilly trash from the trailer, but…
They are world famous, have zillions of dollars, and they are better than all of us. Yes they are, so they think. In reality, they are low-rent personalities who live in a high-rent economic client. They think their shit don’t stink, they travel in posses, they love their bling, and they truly believe that they are ‘all that.’
Ass-hats, every last one of ‘em.
Peace, out.
Word.

Serena Williams: Okay, cursing out the judge was bad enough, but earlier in the match she receive a warning for destroying her tennis racket. I mean she literally bent the head in half. Maybe she was having a bad day, but come on.
Kanye West: Pink (yeah I know) said it best. The man’s a tool. she said he wouldn’t have done that if she’d been on the stage because he knows she would have decked him. It’s a shame no one came up and defended the young lady’s honor. That I would have paid to see.
Why in god’s name did you finish with those 2 god-awful photos???? I thought I was going to have to pluck my eyes out.
NFL officially got underway yesterday and no mention of the games?
Eagles spanked the Panthers after a slow start. McNabb looked good right up til he got hurt. Kolb needs to be cut.
Giants beat the Redskins. Always a good game.
Saints pounded Detroit. A continuation of last year.
And Zman, here’s one I can’t believe you missed: beer flavored ice cream http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/32840382#32840382
September 14th, 2009 at 1:05 am
Come on, Lou. I mentioned the great T.O., didn’t I?
September 14th, 2009 at 1:20 am
I think I’d like to see Serena “take this (expletive) ball and shove it down your (expletive) throat”, when it comes to TO.
September 14th, 2009 at 2:47 am
lou, we can only hope…
and where be the boobies you polack boob?
September 14th, 2009 at 3:01 am
They’re in that bald-headed bitches sweat shirt, you horn-bag.
September 14th, 2009 at 3:24 am
I got one for you. The Papa John’s founder, who offered a $250,000 reward to locate the camaro he owned as a teenager. Yeah, it’s kind of a kick-ass car, but a quarter of a million (not including the price he paid to buy it from the current owner)? Gimme a break.
September 14th, 2009 at 3:25 am
Here for you MaduroMan…and JUST because it was your birthday saturday and I think Zman should have made a special effort for you…

Happy belated birthday Rich ! xxxx
September 14th, 2009 at 3:32 am
Zman loves Kanye West. Don’t let him try to fool you. I was watching football last night, not some stupid awards show, so I missed Zman’s heart throbs’ faux pas. Darn.
September 14th, 2009 at 3:43 am
I think that pic of Rosie has MM all steamy under the collar…
September 14th, 2009 at 3:44 am
Good Afternoon from the west coast, Zman! you forgot to… add… Career Politicians and Philanders from your list!
September 14th, 2009 at 3:49 am
I just want some sexy boobies in this friggin’ blog, not highly compensated boobs. Is that too much to ask?
September 14th, 2009 at 3:51 am
VERY true, M60, but I think that’s a blog all to itself. Talk about a group that believes that they are above the law and better than everyone else. Come on, Zman, no flaming Ted Kennedy since he can’t defend himself.
September 14th, 2009 at 4:07 am
I think we need a blog on the virtues of NFL cheerleaders. Who has the best looking out fits, who has the best looking girls. You know, a discussion about something important and relevant in life. Zman could post lots of photos of good looking wimens with bodacious tatas then.
September 14th, 2009 at 4:15 am
that would rule!!!!
September 14th, 2009 at 5:11 am
lucie, you are a naughty girl…… and i am glad.
that was the only b-day gift i got, btw….. and a lovely gift it was….
September 14th, 2009 at 5:58 am
Madman,
Happy belated birthday. Twenty nine again?
I know just the song for you if you have a way to get it. If not, I have it and can send it to you. It’s David Allan Coe’s “Titties and Beer.”
What more could you ask for except football, cigars, and grilled meat?
September 14th, 2009 at 6:36 am
What more could you ask for?
That is a loaded question!
September 14th, 2009 at 7:01 am
I didn’t see Serena’s reaction, but I want to. Sounds like great fun! I loved seeing McEnroe get all wound up. I was always LMAO @ his antics. Same with Nastasie or whatever his name was. People called him “Nasty”. I also enjoyed The Donald lashing out at Rosie Cow and whoever that hottie was that got into a feud with Rosie the Cow. I think it’s funny watching famous people lose their cool in public – the more public the funnier! Like that clip they play on Howard Stern all the time – I think it’s Chris Berman screaming, “We’ll do it live!” LMFAO! That shit’s just plain FUNNY!
Now… T.O.? That ain’t funny. Dennis Rodman wasn’t funny either, tho I don’t recall him gettin’ mad. He was just an ass. Barry Bonds was an ass too. Can’t stand any of those three. Rosie is a boob and is entertaining only because of how truly pathetic she is.
September 14th, 2009 at 9:12 am
Zman I feel your Pain ! Hang in there !!!
September 14th, 2009 at 9:58 am
“Career Politicians and Philanders from your list!”
Big-M60 isn’t that the same thing? I understand the psychology of power that leads to philandering politicians, but do any of them really think that they will get away with it? In today’s climate of cameras everywhere and tell all books no one who is famous is going to be able to keep any affair private.
Cotty, I too love seeing famous people lose their cool in public. They usually get so riled up that they start speaking gibberish. They show just how really stupid they are.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:46 am
Then there was the Christian Bale thingy.
September 14th, 2009 at 6:24 pm
So far, Zman has been able to keep his affair with Richard Simmons private.
September 14th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Taking thread gay is the Garfiend way.
September 14th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
I don’t watch tennis (who does?). I don’t watch MTV (who does? Unless you are 14).
I just don’t pay much attention to celebs.
However, I find it funny, all the news programs doing stories on people and the outpouring of anger. Uh, let’s see, unemployment is awful, the economy sucks, our political system is about to go socialist and so on. No wonder everyone is angry.
Richard Simmons? *shudder*
September 14th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
I think the media makes more of certain issues than anyone else; for example, last night’s MNF (Pats v Bills) — the commentators were making a big deal out of T.O.’s not getting the ball at all in the first half (or was it first quarter? I can’t remember).
That simply feeds into the Celebs god-like personality.
And damned if I wasn’t pissed when Buffalo fumbled the ball with only 45 seconds left in the game . . . .
September 15th, 2009 at 1:25 am
Ya mean Buffalose? What a horrifying choke job. Made us Giants fans kind of forget all about Herm Edwards if for only a few minutes.
September 15th, 2009 at 2:37 am
rl, rodney carrington has a version he does that is great.
how about them raiders, huh? again the manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
and zman, when are you going to do a blog on the important stuff in life?
booze, broads. man foods and football. at stanley cup time you can add hockey to it…
September 15th, 2009 at 2:48 am
Maybe a column on what each of us would like in his man cave; besides Lucie, of course.
I think Lucie’s idea of the perfect man cave would have a bunch of men to pleasure her and cater to her every whim, and maybe a few good cigars. Of course, except for the cigars, that’s probably every woman’s idea of the perfect man cave.
September 15th, 2009 at 3:46 am
mmmmmm…. add a nice cigar cabinet to this and it is prettymuch my idea of a perfect Lucie’s cave.

You know, that bald headed shot of Spears makes me nauseous every time I see it.
September 15th, 2009 at 6:19 am
I watch tennis! But only Wimbledon, honestly. And then only the semis and the finals, men and women. I *MIGHT* watch some doubles, but I’m likely to bail unless it’s really good.
Venus is pretty easy on the eyes. And Serena’s got the highbeams on. An’ then there’s the gutteral grunting – by the women, I mean.
Golf is the unwatchable sport. Hard to believe that “sport” has it’s own channel! The Golf Channel is right in between the Paint Drying Channel and the Watch Grass Grow Channel.
September 15th, 2009 at 6:43 am
lucie, didn’t see a full bar or bookshelves full of good quality books. NOT coloring books, zman, or titty magazines, the clasics, bound in leather. need some 1950’s pin up art on the walls, maybe a Packer’s jersey or 2, high speed internet hook up lockable door and NO DAMN PHONE!
a huge ass humidor is a given
September 16th, 2009 at 12:28 am
How about classic titty magazines, bound in leather (Hmmm bound in leather, eh), a fully stocked bar, a couple of fully stocked floor-to-ceiling humidors, NO Packers Jerseys on the walls, a nice kitchenette for snack preparation, a pantry, a Fridge and a Kegerator, a big-ass HD TV w/surround sound system, about 3 rows of stadium seating, a smoking alcove with leather chairs and a good vent system, and maybe a few Hooters girls for waitresses.
September 16th, 2009 at 4:50 am
don’t want a kitchenette, you can have a woman can bring in any sna, uhm snack you need. no Packer jersey is a deal breaker.
other than bringing in food, ALL women but lucie would be barred from entering.
September 16th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
No Hooters girls or Playboy bunnies? You gotta have exceptions for entertainment.
I suppose a Bart Starr jersey would be okay, as long as there was a Unitas jersey, too.
By kitchenette, I just meant a microwave and fridge. Ya gotta have ice!
September 17th, 2009 at 12:30 am
OK…in all seriousness, here how I’d love to turn the garage into (but will NEVER happen since myhusband wants the garage to put the cars in… for the 9 months of winter… *heavy sigh*) but if I could, I’d have this :
Wood paneling on the walls, hiding the wires for the plasma tv and the audio system. A full wall of shelves with old and new National Geographic, various cigar magazines, some nice porn and good books. A couple sheleves of old Archie’s, Tintin’s, Astérix, Snoopy, Calvin & Hobbs and Mafalda are a given. A small fridge packed with beer and very aged cheddar, wine, scotch and nuts. A big ashtrey. A large cabinet humidor, leather seats large and solid, a big coconut’s fiber carpet on the floor, the two remotes, a dimer for the lights, a reading lamp, a big ass thing to put my feet on, and yes, a lockable door ! And wi-fi !
September 17th, 2009 at 1:41 am
I’ve got almost all of that! Except there’s drywall, not wood paneling, and the wires show, and no books, magazines or comics unless I bring one in. And the fridge is full-sized. And the cabinet humidor is actually a cooler, and there’s only one leather seat, but it’s a genuine La-Z-Boy recliner, and the floor is bare concrete. But there’s wi-fi and a laptop and a 47″ LCD TV and my coffee roaster and a stereo w/ a subwoofer and a DVD player… And air conditioning!
September 17th, 2009 at 1:56 am
lucie you and i can share the same one, but the chairs would have to be big and solid for uhm…..recreational use.
i’d have to add some restraints in case some naughty girl showed up and needed to be punished……
and a shower, need a shower in it too….maybe a cot…..hmmmm, if i’m ever single again the whole house would be that way, but would need a french maid to tidy up for me. lucie, do you know where i could get a french maid that’s a little kinky?
September 17th, 2009 at 5:29 am
Lucie,
If you need a big ass thing to put your feet on, I’m sure Zman’s ample stomach could serve the purpose quite well.
September 17th, 2009 at 11:01 pm
Or his big fat noggin, if she doesn’t mind putting her feet up on something that’s covered in what looks to be wild horse hair.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:34 am
Finally, some good football games this weekend, especially college. No more of LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, etc. playing NE Southwestern Louisiana Tech, or the like.
At last a reason to hole up in the man cave with some cold beverages, a TV, and a few snacks and good cigars! Hooters girls optional at extra cost.
September 18th, 2009 at 1:59 am
And both New York teams have big divisional games this Sunday.
LET’S GO, GIANTS!!!!
BEAT THE COW WHORES!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 3:04 am
Amen to that Fiend!
September 18th, 2009 at 3:16 am
My buddies are arriving at 7am on Sunday with a scheduled 7:30 departure time.
The tailgating shall commence immediately upon entering the Meadowlands: jumbo shrimp, steak and sauted onions, fried potatoes on the grill, cigars all morning and into the afternoon as well as liquid libations, and then. . . .
The Game.
Afterwards, we shall tailgate even futher with burgers and dogs, a soda, and another smoke, allowing the parking lot to empty before we make the journey home.
I just hope that a win will add to what shall ultimately be one friggin’ awsome day.
September 18th, 2009 at 6:24 am
Happy weekend to all. May all your teams win, and may your tails be well gated.
September 20th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Holy crap!
My JETS creamed the Patriots!!!
I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, heard so much noise in that stadium as I heard this Sunday.
September 20th, 2009 at 10:40 pm
huh, never thought about it before, but I guess my whole apartment is really a man-cave… I don’t have a big ass TV, but I’ve got leather furniture (my arm chair is a big leather CLOUD!) huge selection of cigars, and guns on the wall!
and the Packers game was a good watch yesterday even though they lost: early in the game, the Bengals’ receiver tripped over his own shadow and dropped the ball on one play; Packers got their turnover that they needed to tie the game, but ran out of time with only about 15 yards to goal; and “Ochocinco” might have gotten his Lambeu Leap, but he got flipped off on camera while up there.
September 20th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
and that “Rosie Jeremy” photo is making me ILL!
September 20th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
The Texans silenced the Titans on the road, after the Titans gave the Steelers all they wanted, losing in overtime a week ago Thursday!
And to top it all off, the Giants beat the cowturds in front of a record 105,000 people in the unveiling of Jerry (Hick) Jones’ brand new stadium!!!

634 days since the Lions last won a football game.
When is the new blog topic for this week going up???
September 21st, 2009 at 12:54 am
sometime before Autumn gets here?

When you are in the corner and have no cash to go out from that point, you would have to receive the mortgage loans. Just because that should aid you for sure. I take car loan every time I need and feel myself fine just because of this.
