  • I thought they were already engaged?? Did I miss something??

    US Weekly is so full of crap most of the time. And Noelle, the female who runs that blog, has a huge superiority complex.

    If the rumors are true, I am sure they will be very happy together! Yay for them!

  • There seems to be this need to force this relationship no matter in truth there's been nothing.....NOTHING that would give anyone an honest impression that there's a true lovematch here. It's all been in the minds of those who can't accept JA without a guy. It's also about some wanting JA to say to BP "there, I got some too!" Sorry folks, but its so truth that if she hadn't been married to Brad Pitt, no one would care that she was with Vince, not with Vince, had a puppy, not have a puppy, had a Goddess Circle to lean on, NOT have a Goddess Circle to lean on. I don't believe that she and VV are together, and I don't think they ever truly WERE together and I've got a feeling that before the summers over, all rumors will be put to rest, and VV-JA will finally be proven to be nothingmore than wishful thinking on the part of those who can't let go of The Golden Couple fantasy and let Jennifer Aniston live her life.

  • do you honestly think he could do any better than jen anniston?
    i mean the guy is ugly as crap
    im surprised that he could even do that good
    guess it goes to show looks arent everything, although i never found him funny either

  • Vince is a hottie, but th fact that Joe Francis is a good friend of theirs really makes them look like assholes. I wouldn't admit I was friends with him. They'd be much better off befriending a real pimp with class, Hugh Hefner.

    By Anonymous, on 10:47 AM  

  • Hey, at least Vince isn't a bore. Sorry, but JA seems needy, high maintence, selfcentered "even when it looks like she's being selfless" and just tiring. I just don't think they're as compatable, or into each other "like that" as some want them to be.

  • Aniston is possibly the most excruciatingly boring actress in Hollywood; it's nothing short of miraculous that she became a star. The only reason she still is is Brad Pitt -- without him, she would just be another sitcom has-been, which she can't accept.

    And no matter how much PR she does, she comes across as needy, complaining, demanding, selfish, and constantly playing the victim card.

    I've never believed that she was angry at Brad for getting together with Angie. I think she is angry at him for getting over her -- she wanted him to mope after her, and he didn't. He got on with his life, and left Jen high and dry.

    He treats her with far more kindness and love than most people treat their exes, but still like an ex. So now she makes a lot of ridiculous demands, like that it was insensitive of him not to notify her that Angie was pregnant. Uh, they're no longer married, and he has no obligation (morally or legally) to keep her up to date on his life now.

    And the whole relationship feels very forced -- I get the vibe that Aniston desperately wants to one-up her ex. He got together with the hottest woman alive, so she tried to hook up with someone too.

  • Joe Francis has completely "come on" to the hollywood scene. did you see who all attended his VIP birthday party? I wonder how many of the hollywood a-listers realize just exactly what they are associating with.

    Oh and he's complete scum. He has no soul and he will die lonely and miserable.

    Other than losing all respect for JA and VV for being friends with that rapist, i don't think Jen comes off being so needy and insecure. I read the "infamous" vanity fair article for the first time this week.

    Anything that she actually says is completely nice and normal. She says she's heartbroken about getting divorced. She says she's having a hard time dealing with it. And she speaks very highly of Brad. The tone of the article comes from the VF writer! The VF writer is the one discussing the timing of Brad's relationship with AJ and the one pointing out the obvious.

    Geesh people. And I love everyone that thinks they know "why" she's with Vince. Hell, like any of us know "why" she's with vv or engaged to vv ('she just wants to one up Brad, etc').

    I say lets discuss both of them and gossip about them and leave the other one out of it! I can't stand to think that IDLYITW might become another Just Jared where all the psychopaths get together and say things like "I love BAMZS, Brad and Angelina forever." and then post it 27 times on a post about JA's new dog.

  • Yeah, I am with all those who have lost respect for anyone associated with Joe Francis. It is mind blowing how Aniston is still offered movie roles. The woman has no talent other than to play Rachel.

    By Anonymous, on 1:13 PM  

  • I thought they had broken up...you know she doesn't have to marry Vince to get back at Brad for hooking up with Angie...it's really unnecessary and immature...

    By Anonymous, on 1:24 PM  

  • I liked Jen in The Good Girl. That movie would not have been as enjoyable without her in it. I think she has talent but she just needs to choose roles where she can exercise it.

    And yeah, Joe Francis needs to die.

  • Joe Francis (born April 1, 1973) is the founder of Mantra Entertainment, which produces the Girls Gone Wild and Guys Gone Wild DVD series. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 1995 with a double major in Business Administration and Film & Television Production. He founded Mantra at the age of 24, which produces mostly adult films. He has appeared on Howard Stern's radio show in 2002 and again in 2003, and has also appeared on The Man Show, Dr. Phil and The Tyra Banks Show.

    According to a Radar Magazine article, Francis was videotaped in sexually humiliating positions involving a dildo, allegedly while held at gunpoint; he was then subsequently blackmailed. The tape or a copy of it was recovered by the LAPD for use in the criminal trial of his assailant, Darnell Riley. On 7th February 2006[1], Riley pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years and eight months in Corcoran State Prison.

    On July 24, 2006, Joe Francis was interviewed on The Adam Carolla Show, and stated that he was in fact kidnapped, held at gunpoint, and later blackmailed for the tape. He did say that rumors of him performing sexual acts on camera were untrue, and he went on to state that he was only forced to say "something like" "I'm a homosexual." on the camera.

    In the Radar Magazine article, Riley's attorney, Ronald Richards said of Joe Francis "He preys on underage girls and exploits them for profit, and I have proof of that". The magazine said this charge came from an incident in Panama City Beach, Florida, during spring break 2003, when the parents of a 16-year-old girl claimed that their daughter and a friend had been coerced by Francis and his entourage into appearing topless on videotape. After soaping each other up in the shower of Francis’s motel room, they said they were encouraged to lie about their ages on camera. Briefly jailed for these charges, Francis was released on $165,000 bond and initially faced 71 separate counts, including racketeering, drug trafficking, and child pornography, and his private jet was confiscated. The trafficking charges have been dismissed, but the others are pending. At a July 27th 2006 hearing this judge threw out some key evidence in this case[2], however Francis still has 42 charges against him, some of which include racketeering, prostitution, and conspiring to promote sexual performance of a child.

    In March 2004, a Texas college student claimed that Francis had drugged her in his hotel room in Miami, and although she could not remember the incident clearly, she had then been raped. Francis responded by claiming that the sex had been consensual and that the woman had stayed to order lunch from room service the next day. The investigation was dropped, and Francis in turn filed suit against the woman for $25,000,036 — the $36 representing the cost of the lunch.

    In August 2006, a potentially explosive article in the Sunday magazine of the L.A. Times follows Joe Francis across the country. Reporter Claire Hoffman witnesses what appears to be illegal activities (such as supplying alcohol to minors Jannel Szyszka and Kaitlyn Bultema.) She interviews a young woman about an alleged rape in the Girls Gone Wild bus. The reporter is herself roughed up, insulted and threatened by Francis.

  • Aniston sucks. I could waste a lot of time rehashing all of the reasons she sucks, but for the sake of brevity....


    ANISTON SUCKS

    By dAVE, on 4:04 PM  

  • okay, 3:56, here's the money shot you're looking for. if you're reading comments, you already know that joe francis is the founder of girls gone wild, and you also have some background on him.

    following, i quote from claire hoffman's sunday la times piece on him (we've known he's an asshole dirtbag for a long time, but the times piece illustrates quite plainly HOW filthy he actually is):

    "Szyszka tells me later that as she was spinning around the strip pole that night, Francis appeared, grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him. "You are so going on the bus later," she recalls Francis saying. "I was like, 'Um, OK.' I was shocked. I was like, 'Whoa—Joe's, like, trying to talk to me, like out of all the girls in here.'" Francis invited her back to the VIP area to do shots with him, she says, and she said yes.

    Szyszka says the more shots she drank, the cloudier her judgment became. She says she agreed to join Francis and his crew on the "Girls Gone Wild" bus. "I thought 'Girls Gone Wild' was like flashing, and I thought I would flash them and be done. And so when I'm walking to the bus, that's all I'm thinking is going to happen."

    At first she felt comfortable, she says. Inebriated and excited, she says she was led to the back of the bus, to a small bedroom. The double bed, with its neatly folded iridescent purple sheets, takes up most of the room. A flat-screen TV faces the bed, and cabinets are filled with remote controls, lubricants, condoms, sex toys in plastic bags, baby oil, a DVD called "How to be a Player" and a clipboard full of waivers for girls to sign. A small bathroom is off to the side, with a half-sized shower with faux marble tiling, and on the floor of the shower is a crate holding cheap and fruity-flavored rum, whiskey, tequila and Kool-Aid.

    Footage from that night shows a close-up of Szyszka's driver's license, proving she's not a minor. The camera then captures Szyszka lying on the bed. Her nails are chipped, her eyes coated with makeup. Following a camerman's instructions, she shows her breasts and says, "Girls Gone Wild." She seems shy but willing. She smiles. The unseen cameraman asks her to take off her shirt, her skirt, then her underwear. She sprawls on the bed, her legs open. At his suggestion, she masturbates with a dildo, saying repeatedly that it hurts but also feels good. Francis enters the room at certain points and you hear his voice, low and flirtatious, telling her, "You are so adorable." When she says she's a virgin, he responds: "Great. You won't be after my cameraman gets done with you."

    When I talk to Szyszka seven days later, she says she "didn't quite realize" she was being filmed. "But I didn't care because I was drunk and who cares?" Then she adds: "It didn't feel good to me at all, but I was totally faking it because I was on 'Girls Gone Wild.'"

    Eventually, Szyszka says, Francis told the cameraman to leave and pushed her back on the bed, undid his jeans and climbed on top of her. "I told him it hurt, and he kept doing it. And I keep telling him it hurts. I said, 'No' twice in the beginning, and during I started saying, 'Oh, my god, it hurts.' I kept telling him it hurt, but he kept going, and he said he was sorry but kissed me so I wouldn't keep talking."

    Afterward, she says, Francis cleaned them both off with a paper towel and told her to get dressed. Then, she says, he opened the door and told the cameraman to come back, saying, "She's not a virgin anymore."

    Szyszka says Francis told her that what happened had to stay between them. She says she agreed, and they walked to the front of the bus. Szyszka remembers that one of the crew returned her driver's license. Another asked if she wanted to hang out on the bus. She declined, she says, but asked for three pairs of "booty short" underwear that Francis had promised her for appearing on camera. "They gave me a weird look like that was too much," Szyszka recalls. "They were, like, 'Three of them?' and I was, like, 'Yeah, three.'"

    Within days, Szyszka says, she told her father, who was angry about what she said had happened but kept quiet at her request. A month after the incident, she says, she told her sister and mother.

    She's confused, she admits, about what happened. She feels guilty, she says, for getting herself into the situation in the first place. She says she never would have undressed for the cameras if she hadn't been completely drunk. And she is adamant that she said "no" to Francis. She says she's haunted by that night.

    "I feel like it was planned," she says. "Sometimes I'm driving along, and I think about it and all of a sudden feel weird."

    Six weeks after that night outside Chicago, when I call Francis on his cellphone and ask him about the incident, he says he doesn't remember Szyszka and that he didn't have sex with anyone that night. He seems to lose control, repeatedly referring to me by a crude word for female genitalia. "If you print that, I will [expletive] sue the [expletive] out of you. If you print that, baby, you just put the nail in your own coffin," he tells me. "You are a [expletive expletive]. You decided to blast me . . . You are a [expletive] bitch . . . I will get my last laugh on you. I will get you." He then refers me to Burke, his lawyer.

    In an e-mail, Burke says Francis and Szyszka did have sex—consensual sex—and that neither Francis nor anyone affiliated with "Girls Gone Wild" gave her any alcohol. "Neither Mr. Francis nor any of the GGW staff in or around the bus recall Ms. Szyszka making any complaint or comment about Mr. Francis. In fact, Ms. Szyszka was in good spirits after the encounter, and numerous witnesses have stated that she danced with her friends outside the bus for nearly two hours afterward," Burke writes. He adds: "Though Mr. Francis cannot speak to Ms. Szyszka's discomfort during the encounter, other news stories have commented that Mr. Francis is reputedly well-endowed."

    if one has time to refresh idlyitw a thousand times while at work, one probably has time to read a one-page article in the los angeles times. and frankly, if the motivation is to seem like one is working rather than fucking off, it's probably better to have newslinks in one's history than gossip sites.

  • s- Well this is the site for that certainly, I just wish we could keep it to saying nasty things about celebs.

    I am a teacher so I always encourage people to ask questions. It is how people learn. I get really bothered and react when students mock others for asking what they consider to be a "stupid" question. There is a nice way to offer assistance. We have all asked questions to learn at some point in our lives and where would we all be if someone mocked us everytime?

    Although I think the internet is great I find that since anyone can post on it it is usually a good idea to go through 3 or 4 articles about a topic before using any of the information as fact. Often students confuse fact with opinion.

    Yes I am lazy but only when it comes to looking up information on celebrities that I don't consider to be all that important. I am working and would rather focus most of my attention on that.

    Are you and I OK now?

EVERYTHING you say can and will be used against you. You know what? Posting anonymously has nothing to do with not having balls you little bitch. Having balls means I will say something to you when you start bully blogging somebody else especially when you are not perfect. I don't need a name or a user profile to do that. You are a hypocrite. I would never create a stupid user profile like you did. It is just giving people ammunition and honestly I fell asleep about halfway through your user profile.

    I am seriously shocked that you have a kid. When he asks you questions do you refer him to Google and tell him that in 2006 you shouldn't have to point that out to him? Why don't you go pay attention to the little guy instead of fighting with people on this website? Time better spent wouldn't you agree?

    Hey, thanks so much for all that great info you provided on your user profile.

    Can I offer up an unbiased opinion here? I think you brought this all on to yourself. When you first insulted that person asking about Joe Francis did you walk around your little house with a self-satisfied smirk on your face because you made somebody feel stupid or inferior? Did that make you feel good? Did you give yourself a big pat on the back? I am so sick of people like you on here. Always in the attack position. Then you get angry when people stick up for the person you originally attacked and start bitching at them.
    Attack the celebrities not other people on here unless they legitimately have said something worth an argument. Can't we just have intelligent debates? Don't criticize people for not knowing who Joe Francis is or what a pearl necklace is. Be nice, answer the question and move on.

    no, you don't. but it would give your argument more merit. and standing up for someone else is admirable, but it loses its strength when you toss rocks out from behind a tree. which is sort of the real life equivalent of what you're doing here.

    as for the rest:

    1. as far as referring my son to google when he asks a question (ooh, I bet you were proud of that zinger!) - no, not usually. although one time when he asked me a question about ancient egypt, and i answered it, and he wanted to learn more because he found the topic interesting, in addition to pulling out several books i have on the subject, i taught him how to look things up online. of course, now he pretty much uses google only for cheat codes. he IS 13, after all. i'm lucky he was interested in research for even five minutes.

    2. the tired 'shouldn't you be spending time with your kid instead of fighting online' "insult" is entirely played out. especially when the person writing it a) apparently has kids of her own and b) is doing the same thing i am. try again, grasshopper. i've given you far more ammunition than that, so use it well and i might respect you more.

    3. i've been hit below the belt before, and I encourage you to not delude yourself into thinking that’s what you’ve done here. it's ironic, you accusing me of kindergarten insults, when the best you've been able to do so far is isolate a few words in my user profile, tell me i'm boring, call me a "little bitch", and insinuate that i'm a bad mother. it's kind of cute, how mean you think you're being.

    anon 11:41, my house isn't small, you know, since you brought it up. Now, to your point: i did answer the pearl necklace question, and i answered it rather succinctly, i thought. i also answered the joe francis question, but although i wryly remarked that i hoped my c/v wasn't too long to read, it doesn't appear that said person took great offense to it. my little fight here has been with the hero who decided to step in and defend the honor of someone who clearly didn't need defending.

    so while i didn't 'feel good about' and 'pat myself on the back' over making someone feel inferior (which was neither my intention nor an accomplishment - i'll thank you to not confuse me with the anons who posted at the same time as i did in response to the same questions in entirely nastier tones), i DID sort of have fun fighting with anon 10:22. self-righteous, indignant sorts are the very best kind. and besides, repeated insulting of fucksticks like lindsay lohan and jennifer aniston is like shooting fish in a barrel, and gets wearisome, so if some moron wants to pick a fight with me and use me as a scapegoat for half a dozen far nastier comments, i’m okay with that.

  • 5:30: a few minutes between getting home from work and heading out to my kickboxing class. i type 110 words per minute and have a fairly firm grasp of the english language. it's not hard. (see, for instance, this only took me about half a minute. i am a winner at life!)

  • 5:30, I guess you're one of those semiliterate people who struggle to form an entire sentence without misspelling major words.

    This post has taken approximately ten seconds of my day. Ciao.

  • Scamps- Joe doesn't like women. Apparently so. He seems textbook sociopath, sorta more interesting in a
    case study way than for any 'work' he has done. That said, his work exists b/c there is a market for it.

    Although the article about him was long, it was worth reading. Cautionary tale for
    young women not just in his sphere but anywhere. Keep your guard up there are people who can prey on poor decisions everywhere..

  • What Ho: You are right, the comments section was closed last fall. I don't know the reason, but they closed it shortly after some crazed Brangelina fan posted a terrorist threat in arabic because he/she disagreed with some poster that didn't like Jolie.

    You can find it the August 2005 archives under comments on an blog about Jolie with Zahara talking about missing Brad. This is actually my first time back on this site since then -- snarking is one thing, but praying that Bin Laden bombs America again because you don't like Jolie is another thing entirely!

    Also, it appears that the crazy spammer that PerezHilton ended up outing was playing on this site at that time as well. Very annoying.
