Kris Humphries may be back on the court, but the reception was less than welcoming for his first game back. Gee, you mean a sham wedding to the most useless person on the planet wasn’t the popularity booster you thought it would be? Color me surprised. Says OK! Magazine,
Although he’s been off the court for a while thanks to the lockout, he’s been on screen front and center on Kourtney & Kim Take New York.
During the Nets game last night against the New York Knicks, the former Mr. Kim Kardashian dealt with an uproar from the fans when he entered the game in the second quarter.
E! News pointed out the play-by-play announcers even made comments about the boo birds. “Kris Humphries coming into the game, just signing a new deal. There’s a… the boos from the fans. He’s one of the most famous players in the NBA now, it has nothing to do with basketball but obviously with his marriage and quick divorce to Kim Kardashian. You feel bad for the young man. He’s gonna, no doubt, hear all sorts of taunts and stuff throughout the season.”
Even after a few plays on the court, a second commentator said, “The crowd is still in a frenzy.” Announcers were “shocked at the treatment he’s getting.”
You feel bad for him all you want. I prefer to point and laugh. It’s that kind of ability to kick people when they’re down that got me where I am today. That is, alone and making fun of other people from the anonymity of a computer.
Miranda Kerr for Victoria’s Secret, because if I wanted to see pictures of Kris, I might as well look at the evolutionary chart.
In a story that warmed my cold black heart, reality whore Kim Kardashian was loudly booed while being introduced at her 31st birthday party at Marquee Nightclub in Vegas on Saturday. Hollywood Life says:
Unfortunately, the crowd did not love her celebration, as she was booed after she was introduced! Khloe tried to calm the crowd down, but unfortunately when she took the mic the rowdy crowd got even LOUDER! Poor Kim!
This was Kim’s second big celebration of her birthday, taking place the day after she seemed to have fun out in New York City.
Well, who among us hasn’t been booed on their birthday? Who hasn’t felt the sting of hot sauce down the front of their pants during an impromptu birthday-spanking-turned-atomic-wedgie on their special day? I personally can’t remember a birthday where I didn’t end up with bruised kidneys and hog-tied with jumper cables. She should stop being so damn sensitive all the time.
Amy Winehouse decided to go ahead and cancel the next two dates on her European tour after being booed off the stage in Serbia yesterday because she was too goddamn drunk to remember the words to her songs. The Daily Mail says:
The troubled star gave one of the worst shows of her career as she delivered barely recognisable versions of her hits.
Winehouse was booed and looked intoxicated as she stumbled around the stage.
A representative for the singer said that upcoming festival dates in Istanbul on Monday and in Athens on Wednesday would be cancelled following the Belgrade show.
Fans were also angry as may had paid about $60 a ticket, which is a lot of money in a country where the average salary is about $443 a month.
Of course the fans were disappointed. They live in Serbia. Their entire life is disappointing. Spending nearly fifteen percent of an entire month’s wages to watch Amy Winehouse stagger around a stage for an hour is really the last of their worries. They’re the only European country to ever have been bombed by NATO, for chrissakes.

The director of Brad Pitt’s new movie The Tree of Life didn’t even show to the film’s premiere in Cannes today, so it’s no surprise to hear that it was booed like The Situation at a Donald Trump roast. The Daily Mail says:
Brad Pitt’s art house movie The Tree of Life was greeted to a harsh chorus of boos, hisses and reluctant applause when it was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival.
The picture’s director Terrence Malick didn’t even bother to turn up at the press conference following a screening that started at 8:30 a.m.
I’d wager that Malick’s not showing had less to do with the quality of the film and more to do with the fact that Brad Pitt was dressed like the Good Humor Man’s retarded pimp cousin. Sex industry ice cream men are naturally repellant to the art-house industry. Everybody knows that.
Stop number two on Charlie Sheen’s Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option tour had its share of empty seats and audience heckling and booing, but it came nowhere near being the disaster that was his first stop in Detroit, a fiasco so colossally inept and rife with jackassery that it can only be spoken of in degrees of donkey ball suckitude. Us Magazine says:
Sheen’s opening act — a comedian who was quickly booed — [was followed by] a montage of violent film clips and a live rendition of the National Anthem as sung by two porn stars.
Sheen emerged with his famous “goddesses” (who made out onstage), and quickly burned his Two a Half Men bowling shirt.
Donning a Detroit Tigers baseball jersey stamped “Warlock” on the back, Sheen rambled about his “bleeding napalm heart” and slammed “feeble nabobs” and “bankrupt carnivals.”
Restless, the audience began booing; some yelled “You suck!” [and] began departing the Fox Theater.
Sheen attempted to read a letter from one of the goddesses to [the remaining audience members] and told one fan to “shut the fuck up.”
Oh, wait. It gets better, if you can believe it:
Sheen finally stormed off the stage for good after less than an hour of his disastrous show. Rapper Simon Rexx performed a rap as the crowd continued to disperse.
Ah, Simon Rexx. The man you turn to when Rico Suave has better things to do. Charlie Sheen could have shat himself onstage while sucking his thumb and crying and it still would have been less embarrassing than rapping with Simon Rexx.
Whitney Houston continued her Crash & Burn World Tour last night at London’s O2, disappointing nearly 20,000 fans by not even bothering to attempt the high notes in most of her signature songs. The Daily Mail says
Houston admitted to the crowd that she couldn’t hit the high notes and even abandoned The Greatest Love Of All after only a couple of verses, [saying]: ‘She don’t want to come, my soprano friend. Sometimes the old girl sings, but not tonight. I want to do it, but she doesn’t want to. … She’s getting a little … temperamental, even.’
She struggled further with another of her classic songs, cutting short I Will Always Love You, and paused and panted for breath between songs.
Fans were still unhappy, with some even demanding their money back.
Remember those old “this is your brain on drugs” commercials with the egg in the frying pan? Well, they could do one for “this is your voice on drugs,” only instead of a frying pan, they’d just show the footage of sweaty Whitney Houston in a Rick James wig screeching like a barn owl caught in a hairnet made of live wires. Any questions?
Thousands booed Madonna at a concert in Bucharest this week when she turned her get-in-your-cage-and-dance-monkey performance into a pulpit from which to preach her personal beliefs. Yahoo News says
At first, fans politely applauded — and the cheers gave way to jeers.
“It has been brought to my attention … that there is a lot of discrimination against Romanies and Gypsies in general in Eastern Europe,” she said. “It made me feel very sad. We don’t believe in discrimination … we believe in freedom and equal rights for everyone.”
Thousands booed and jeered her.
“I jeered her because it seemed false what she was telling us. What business does she have telling us these things?” said Ionut Dinu, 23.
