What's Weirder? (Utterly Random Edition)

14319__tori_lLet’s play "What’s Weirder?"

A. The Sopranos‘ Joe Gannascoli, a.k.a "Gay Vito," claiming to come out with his own line of pool sticks (to refresh your memory, Vito was raped and beaten to death with one this past season).
B. Is R. Kelly finally returning to his epic "Trapped in the Closet" saga of music videos? Looks like it, according to this casting call.
C. Tori Spelling (pictured) has agreed to write her memoirs while filming an Oxygen reality show where she and her husband run a bed and breakfast.

(See Gilbert’s answer after the jump.)

Clearly, clearly A. Tori Spelling writing her memoir? Status quo fora celebrity of even a B-list stature, no? We’ll give her points for thereality show, though, that’s sort of a great idea. Classy even, whichis something we rarely call reality TV. As for R. Kelly potentiallyfilming more chapters of "Trapped in the Closet," we’re all in favor ofthat too. Hopefully it’s not a case of diminishing returns, however.Because if it’s not as good as this, we don’t want to see it, R.

But A? Come on, Joe. We thought you were cool. We thought you wereprogressive. But marketing a line of pool cues based on a show propthat was used to violently sodomize and kill a gay character byhomophobic mobsters? That’s totally not cool and a very, very cynicalway of trying to cash in. We can only hopethat he was kidding. Which would still not be funny.

    I’m totally in agreement. However, I’d like to submit that truly unfortunate photo of Tori Spelling as option D.

  • nathan

    Who would actually be interested in reading a book about Tori Spelling? What could possibly be interesting in those pages?

  • brandonk

    How do you market pool cues based on a prop that was used to kill somebody. It seems the group of potential buyers would be pretty small, anyway.

  • Can I Get A What What

    Tori Spelling

    What is up with Tori Spelling’s face? Is it age, bad surgery or both?

  • Ep Sato

    “This is the brand to kill gay mobsters” seems like an odd selling point for people purchasing a pool cue. On the other hand, according to the movies, good fights always break out in the pool hall.
    MAYBE the reason people don’t fight in poolhalls as often as they do on TV is that they are are afreaid they don’t have the right kind of fighting prop fopr when things go down. Who wants to get stuck in a fistfight with an “off the rack” affair when you can break the “Vito” brand pool cue over some heads instead?
    Vito brand of “fighting pool cues”, no fellon accused of assault should get there without one.
    Okay, A wins in my book.

    Option A is definitely the weirdest and by far the most offensive. I can’t believe this jerk would try to capitilize on a visceral depiction of what some might consider a hate crime to make a buck. I thought he was open-minded and progressive as well, but this clearly shows he isn’t.

    Is that picture for real? She looks like a man in drag (really bad drag…) When will this girl realize that her only claim to fame is her very wealthy father? She’s a bad actress and totally non-interesting….

  • Liza

    EEEWWWW! Pregnancy just doesn’t agree with Tori Spelling. She looks bad!

  • Adrienne

    Bad picture…just bad…bad!

  • Stephanie Travitsky

    That is an awful picture of Tori Spellhack and you can tell that she had a nose job too.

  • t3hdow

    Good god, Tori looks ugly as sin in that photo.

  • Jim

    Aww…why are people still so down on Tori? I know, I know. She only got her big role because Dad was the producer. But she has actually made some interesting choices since then. She was fantastic in Trick and The House of Yes. I would argue that So noTORIous was the most underrated show of the year. She has a fantastic sense of humor about herself and her notoriety. And how can we forget the role she played to utter perfection–Screech’s girlfriend Violet on Saved by the Bell? But okay, yes, that’s a truly horrifying picture of her. Regardless, I love me some Tori.

  • Juju

    Next time she gets in the motherly way, she should break every camera in the house. I can’t believe she went on television.
