So Mervyn’s is finally fucking off. Man I’d be really fucking bummed if this was 1987 and I was going back to school shopping with my cheap-ass mom looking for husky-sized Levi’s and Reebok’s. But hey, its 2008 and no one gives a fuck about Mervyn’s because all the po’ folks go to Wal-Mart and anyone with a hint of dignity goes anywhere else.

Though Katy Perry is stacking ultimate fame via her #1 single “I Kissed A Girl” (remember the time Jill Sobule already wrote that song? I DO!) her fundamentalist Christian parents are not amused:

Instead of getting praised, the daughter of evangelical Christian preachers is deemed “shameful and disgraceful” with the lyrics of the song that promotes “sin”.

Speaking to DailyMail.co.uk, Perry’s mom, Mary Hudson said, “I hate the song. It clearly promotes homosexuality and its message is shameful and disgusting.” She added that this is no longer a secret, saying, “Katy knows how I feel. We are a very outspoken family and she knows how disappointed her father and I are. I can’t even listen to that song. The first time I heard it I was in total shock. When it comes on the radio I bow my head and pray.”

Her parents of course, long for the days when Katy Perry was Katy Hudson, Christian pop singer and girlfriend of Relient K frontman Matt Thiessen. But man, look at her scans! Just give her a few years and then she can repent, get born again, shit out a bunch of kids and live off the residuals for the rest of her damn life, the true American Christian way!

Actor Christian Bale, star of the recent Batman franchise, was detained in London today after a reported altercation with his mother and sister. He has been released on bail. Reportedly this had something to do with a longstanding family dispute. Dain thinks Bale’s mom wouldn’t let him sleep in his bat cape.

From The Telegraph:

Sources said that Bale was accused of lashing out at his family members - pushing one of them - in an argument over a long-running family dispute.

Bale was arrested when he attended Belgravia police station in London today after his mother and sister had reported him to police.

He left the back of the station in a blacked out silver Mercedes people carrier and sped past the awaiting paparazzi and heavy security.

Bale gave a statement to detectives of his version of events in what was described by police sources as an allegation of a “minor” common assault.

The 34-year-old was bailed until September and will be allowed to fly back to his home in America.
