We all know how Jessica Cutler, Washingtons-o-fun, got a book deal for her quickie blog that detailed how she took cash and food for sex while cheating on her boyfriend. Now Cutler and a slew of other slutty bloggers are getting fat TV deals too.

Cutler’s story is going to be turned into a half hour series for HBO that will be produced by Sarah Jessica Parker. Given HBO’s record, it should unfortunately be a funny interpretation of her debauchery. Cutler, 27, is serving as a consultant on the project.

Fellow slutty blogger Stephanie Klein, 30, got a six figure two book deal, and will now bring her misadventures to NBC in the form of another half hour comedy. Klein responds to the inevitable comparisons to Carrie Bradshaw:

One of Klein’s tales involves a 2004 hookup with a guy she met in a bar. When they were about to have sex he complained about being out of Astroglide and tried to use Pam cooking spray as a lube substitute. In order to read the rest of the story, which probably involves burning genitals, you have to buy her memoir.

Brooke Parkhurst, 26, of the uniquely named “Belle in the Big Apple” blog, is finishing up her first novel based on her success getting rich old men to want to fuck her:

At least she has some dignity. Parkhurst is now shopping around for a TV deal.

Sluttly single women are the new reality TV.

Nicole Richie’s foul language in front of an 11 year-old boy while filming “The Simple Life” angered a family and forced producers to discard footage :

Fox’s earlier seasons of The Simple Life were “soft-scripted” in that Richie and Hilton were told what to do and coached to behave outrageously. Richie seems perfectly capable of swearing in front of kids, but this incident was no doubt influenced by The Simple Life producers.

Before I saw these pictures, I was not aware that Larry Hagman was still alive. (Apologies to Hagman’s family and friends.) Other surprises included Bernie Kopell, the doctor from The Love Boat, Adam West, Batman, and Jerry Mathers, the Beaver. Julie Newmar, Tina Yothers, Monty Hall, Loretta Swift and William Shatner were also in attendance.

Julie Newmar, the original catwoman, is 73 and she looks fabulous without being over-preserved. Linda Gray has also aged semi-naturally. Mary Tyler Moore, on the other hand, needs to break up with her surgeon.

25 year-old Didi Knoblauch, who made it into the top ten of Germany’s Idol on a technicality when one of the other finalists had to leave, recently admitted to being a woman trapped in a man’s body. Didi, who was born Diana Knoblauch, told Germany’s Bild that he felt like a boy from a young age. (Article is in German)

Didi, whose over-the-top out-of-tune performances and arrogant personality made him an unlikely Idol star, inexplicably lasted until the Top 5. He swayed and swaggered on stage in an attempt to overcompensate for his lack of masculinity. When told by one of the judge that a performance was poor, he snapped back that at least he was a better singer than the judge.

Didi, aka Diana, had surgery at a cost of 2,200 Euro two years ago to remove his breasts. He is considering cosmetic surgery that will create a penis out of skin taken from the forearm, but the operation is out of reach at more than 50,000 Euro.

In the interview with Bild, Knoblauch, whose last name means “Garlic” in his native German, said that he was dumped by his girlfriend 9 months ago and is not over it. He also said that the women who date him are not looking for “Long John Silver,” they fall in love with him as a person. He also claims to be a favorite of his girlfriends’ mothers.

We wish all transsexuals a happy and productive life in a body that they’re comfortable with. There’s nothing wrong with that and society should be more accepting. Didi is just an idiot and will remain so regardless of the gender he chooses.

Here is Didi’s official website, and here he is with some thrilled fans. Two more pictures after the jump

Last night’s winner of Germany’s Idol is smoking hot 23 year-old rocker, Tobias Regner. He was the most down to earth and talented of the finalists and we were rooting for him. He has performed in a band for years and was comfortable and natural on stage.

A romance between two of the top four finalists skewed voting and screwed singer Nevio Passaro (linked site has automatic music) out of a chance at the top two. Passaro ocassionally sung in Italian and was more talented than clingly couple Mike Leon Grosch and Vanessa Jean Dedmon (linked site has automatic music). The producers played up Mike and Vanessa’s relationship in the Valentine’s episode and even had the two sing to each other when they were in the top three. Mike cried like a baby on stage after singing “You are so Beautiful” for Vanessa.

Nevio was voted out of the top four in an upset. Vanessa and Mike stayed on to keep singing boring 90s ballads, with Mike making it to the final. Mike was a wedding singer who favored Seal songs and had a gruff but strong voice. He was beaten by versatile rocker Tobias, who got 55% of the vote.

You can hear the song Tobias wrote and performed on the final on his website in English (linked site has automatic music) and there are more videos of cutie Tobias on YouTube.

Tobias is a talented, likable guy and we hope he makes it big around the world.

Tobias’ performance of Nickelback’s “How You Remind Me” two weeks ago is one of our favorites:

Matthew Perry showed up at the 2BFree after party in LA last night looking thin and cute.

Perry will be starring on a new series by West Wing creators on NBC this Fall, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The series will also star Amanda Peet:

It looks like his time at the gym has paid off and we hope Perry’s new show is a success.

Rue McClanahan and Betty White appeared at the William S. Paley television festival at the Museum of Television and Radio in LA. Bea Arthur was listed as a panel member at the event, but we cannot find pictures of her appearance. White and McClanahan are shown with series producer Marc Cherry above.

Bea Arthur is currently performing skits and singing in a one-woman show that fans say is fabulous.

Estelle Getty, who played Dorothy’s mother Sophia on the series, is still kicking. She is 82, the same age as Arthur.

The fourth season of The Golden Girls was released last month on DVD.

P. Diddy is producing a reality show called “Celebrity Cooking Showdown.” The show will premiere on April 17th, and the premise is familiar from “Dancing” and “Skating” with celebrities:

Wow, celebrities are going to sing on the show while they cook. Guess we can’t look forward to a “Singing with Celebrities” spin-off, since Diddy is trying to scoop up that idea too.

Here are pictures from a 3/15 photocall promotion featuring date a milf reality show star, Jerry Hall, and British TV chef Anthony Worrall Thompson.

I live in Switzerland. If you stay up a little later here on Friday or Saturday night (and in Germany and probably Italy and France) you can watch full frontal nudity and sex scenes on regular free TV that aren’t as explicit as regular porn, but are high in soft core value. You also don’t have to sit through a lot of bad plot like you’re subjected to on Cinemax.

That’s why I find it asanine that the FCC is fining CBS a whopping $3.6 million for a scene in Without a Trace that attempted to show a teen orgy - with no nudity whatsoever:

So get this - the FCC is fining CBS the most they’ve ever fined a network based on an idea they have of morality, without specific violations.

I saw an episode of Law and Order about a kiddie porn ring that showed a child and adult being videotaped. Under these vague guidelines, that episode would have warranted a fine.

The FCC has a new head, Kevin Martin, and this is his first ruling. The fucker spoke at the Jesse Helms center and admitted that the FCC is now trying to control television content. He’s a religious freak and is trying to dictate what you can watch. Write the FCC and tell them that they have to have specific rules as to what is allowed on TV, and that they cannot dictate content. It’s a scary precedent when they fine a show for a plot idea.
