slagging and slamming are not cool

It cannot be stressed often enough it seems: hold your tongue, folks! Especially when you are daring to lambaste celebrities... doubly so if you are a fellow celebrity... and that goes a hundred-fold if thy target is deceased and nearly deified by the masses that revere the latter's memory!
Karl Lagerfeld sounds off on Lady Di 07/02/2006 12:00:00 AM
NEW YORK (KP International) Noted fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's looselips may land him in hot water after recently slagging off the late Princess Diana.

In a New York magazine, the 67-year-old said of Diana, "She was pretty and she was sweet, but she was stupid.

The eccentric fashionista seems to prefer Prince Charles' current squeeze, Camilla Parker Bowles. "She is the life of the party! She's sparkling, she's witty. She's ready for everything..." Lagerfeld blurted.

What else is Lagerfeld whining about these days? People touching him: "In the whole world, there is nowhere I can go. In Japan, they touch me. I have Japanese women pinch my ass, so now I must say, 'You can have the photo, but please don't touch me.
Tommy Lee slags Kid Rock... then gets beat up
10/02/2006 12:00:00 AM
DETROIT (KP International) The word on the street is that rocker Tommy Lee got roughed up last Saturday night (February 4) while in Detroit, for dissing hometown hero Kid Rock.

While attending Eminem's Shady Records party that night, the 43-year-old Motley Crue drummer was reportedly "talking trash all day about Kid," said a source.
Em's entourage seemed to have had enough of the trash talk and apparently threw a few jabs at Lee.

The tattooed rocker's failure to show up at Eminem's penthouse, where he was apparently scheduled to DJ that night, has since fuelled the rumours.
A Sex Pistol slams Green Day 10/02/2006 12:00:00 AM
(KP International) - John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), frontman of the influential '70s British punk band the Sex Pistols, has sneered at the idea of Green Day being called punk.

"Don't try and tell me Green Day are punk," said Rotten recently. "They're not; they're plonk and they're bandwagoning on something they didnt come up with themselves. I think they are phony.

The punk legend, whose brazen band's defiance of censorship and authority defined a generation, seems to think that Green Day, who just won a Grammy for Record of the Year for their hit "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," "didn't earn their wings... and if they were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do.
No, it cannot be stressed enough that when you have nothing nice to say - don't say anything! Unless, of course, the people you are diminishing really had it coming...! ;)
