'24' Actress Explains the Limbaugh Kiss
Mary Lynn Rajskub has set the record straight; she did not willingly kiss Rush Limbaughs piggy mouth. Last year, photos of the 24 actress kissing Limbaugh full on the mouth surfaced on the Internet. Rajskubs fans were disgusted, wondering why such a normal, attractive girl would get that close to the illegal-drug using, conservative radio host. Well, Rajskub has the answer; she didnt kiss Limbaugh, he kissed her.
"Last summer, I was on a panel about terrorism that [he] was moderating," the blonde tells FHM. "He said hello to everyone and kissed me full on the lips. I was like, 'Oh, that was odd.' Then the picture was on the Internet and people thought I was going out with him. He's brilliant and hilarious, but I wouldn't say I wanted to get it on with him!"
She needs to quit lying about her attraction to Limbaugh. No girl can resist his pendulous man-boobs; just ask former girlfriend Daryl Kagan.
Slip of the Tongue
I considered live-blogging Gene Simmons' new reality show Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, but had second thoughts when I realized I'd have to actually watch the show for more than ten minutes. But then, despite myself, I got sucked in.
Gene Simmons is to being a rock star what being a rent-a-cop is to being an FBI agent. In interviews Simmons proudly claims he never took drugs or drank. He also admits to being more of a businessman than an artist when dealing with Kiss. Although his candor in admitting Kiss's shittiness is admirable, and his constant hustling of Kiss merchandise is nearly charming, he shows the soulless core of the machine in a way that's extremely unattractive. Rock 'n' Roll is one of the few businesses where booze addled fuckups thrive. Why did Simmons and his kabuki rock machine have to hone in that action?
Family Jewels, which follows the template of the Osbournes so closely you almost expect to hear "Crazy Train" between cut scenes, is Simmons' third reality show venture. Reportedly, through selling Kiss Kaskets (and the other 2000 Kiss licensed merchandized items) and tickets for endless reunion tours, Simmons is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Why he's wasting his time on reality T.V. gig, probably the lowest paying gig in television, is beyond me. Maybe he just needs the attention.
The show sorely lacks the screaming vicodin mojo of Ozzy and Sharon. The kids, while not as British trainwreck crazy as the junior Osbournes, are a lot better looking. Shanon Tweed is a fairly normal indulgent California soccer mom and keeps things as grounded as possible under the circumstances.
Simmons's 16-year-old son Nick has a band. Gene takes an interest, which frankly become very uncomfortable. Rock star' kids should steer clear of their parents' businesses. They should be cake makers or actuarial accountants or something.
Unfortunately, knowing the current state of Kiss, there's no hope for an Ace Frehley cameo. Which is too bad. His old school Bronx drunk shtick could have brought the show to another level.
