MONDAY, FEBRUARY 23 We’ll admit it: At first we were
INFURIATED by the absence of Hollyweird hottie George Clooney from last night’s Academy Awards—that is until we learned that he
was too busy stepping out of our dreams and into our nethers by
orchestrating the greatest meet-up in the history of hunkiness: this
morning’s get-together with President Barack Obama! Move over,
Octomom—we got pregnant just from reading the headline!
Seriously… can you imagine? The world’s two most gorgeous and
powerful men… in the same oval office?? It’s a perfect storm of
HOT! In one fell swoop, Clooney and Obama have transformed the
White House from the ovary-shriveling UN-sexiest place on earth to the
Office of Homeland Chicka-wow-chicka-wow-chicka-chicka-wow-WOW! Hmmm?
What’s that? You’d like to know why Georgie was meeting with Obama? OH!
Of course… let’s see… according to CNN, George was meeting with
Barack to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Sudan’s Darfur
region, and—BREAKING NEWS FROM THE ONE DAY AT A TIME NEWS
DESK—We interrupt this story about George Clooney to bring
you another, more pressing story about George Clooney. According to
People magazine, the gorgeous George will be returning to ER on March 12 for one final episode! EEEEEEEEE! (Oh, and
apparently his former co-star/skank Julianna Margulies will be
returning as well. SNORE!) “If you’re a fan of ER, you won’t
want to miss this one!” gushed producer John Wells. There is no
word at this point whether or not Clooney will be removing his shirt,
or his pants. THIS HAS BEEN BREAKING NEWS FROM THE ONE DAY AT A TIME
NEWS DESK. WE NOW RETURN YOU TO THE PREVIOUS GEORGE CLOONEY STORY,
ALREADY IN PROGRESS. …tied up, and licking strawberry jam off our
breasts. Anyway, enough about Darfur. Leaving the White House, George
took time to comment on how fucking thrilled we all are that his former
character “Dr. Ross” will be returning to ER. “It should be
fun,” he said. Did you hear that? Did you? Oh, sweet Jesus, he’s
dreamy!!

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24 Speaking of President Barack Obama, did
you catch tonight’s “Address to Congress”? HEART FLUTTER! He was
so poised and handsome and smart and the only way it could have been
improved is if he’d been flanked by identical George Clooneys.
(Shirtless, of course.) Unfortunately—and
unsurprisingly—the mood was completely ruined by those uggo
Republicans, and in particular Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal who followed Obama’s inspiring speech with the absolutely terrible GOP
response. Now, we’re sorry—but what do the Republicans see in
this nerd? He looks like the guy from our high school’s AV department
that we laughed at when he asked us to prom. We mean, C’MON! Even his
own party hated him! “Some conservative needs to start a campaign to
fire whoever wrote this cheesy response and coached him to talk
like this,” opined conservative columnist Amanda Carpenter. In
Jindal’s defense, he was forced to follow one of the great orators of
our time—and he wasn’t flanked by two shirtless George Clooneys.
GOP, please make a note of it.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25 Today Octomom Nadya Suleman was
offered $1 million and a year’s worth of health insurance to act
in a porno. Our Hubby Kip has also offered his services to help
name this movie, coming up with a disturbingly long list of titles
including, Octojuicy, Eight Hot Dogs in an Airplane
Hangar, and Slutmom Millionaire.
MEANWHILE… Have they discovered OctoDAD? Denis
Beaudoin tells TMZ that he had been in a three-year relationship
with Suleman, and she had lied about having cancer in order to “obtain
his seed.” Whether true or not, no one has the right to call sperm
“seed.” Ga-ross! Why don’t they make a law against that?!

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26 Remember Britney Spears’ scumbaggy
ex-boy toy Adnan Ghalib? He’s been arrested for
attempting to run over a process server who was trying to deliver a
restraining order obtained by Brit’s father. The soul-patched d-bag has
since been charged with assault with a deadly weapon, hit and
run, and battery—which means, if convicted (and if there is a
god), Ghalib could serve up to seven years in prison. (Just
curious: Can prisoners take out a restraining order against their
douchebaggy cell mates?)

FRIDAY, FEBURARY 27 Love Slumdog Millionaire? Then
you’ll hate this one: “FROM SLUMDOG TO SLAPDOG,” shouts the UK’s
Daily Mail. “Child actor beaten by father for refusing to leave
shack.” In the most joy-killing story of the year, the Mail reports that 10-year-old Azharuddin Ismail, who played
Slumdog‘s main character as a child, “received a beating”
from his father outside of the family home in a Mumbai slum. “The
ugly scene lasted no more than 30 seconds after [the father] Ismail,
who is infected with TB, was restrained by neighbors,” the story
went on, getting even more depressing. “The child’s mother, who is
blind in one eye, had also begged Ismail, 45, to stop the
physical punishment.” And the Oscar for the world’s biggest asshole
goes to….

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28 “I remind myself every day that I am lucky,”
Jennifer Aniston gushed to Elle. “Look what people are
really living through. There’s no comparison. I am happy.” Jen, we’re
so glad to hear that! Usually, middle-aged actresses with
horsey-faces who’ve had their sex symbol husbands stolen away tend to
have exactly the opposite attitu—UPDATE! “Jennifer
Aniston and Owen Wilson have been forced to eat dog
biscuits on live TV,” reports digitalspy.com. While promoting dog flick
Marley & Me on the German television show Wetten,
Dass…? [Yes, really.—Ann], Aniston and Wilson
reportedly lost a bet with the show’s host—and in Germany, that
apparently means you have to eat dog biscuits. Aniston, after calling
them a “little dry,” stomped her hoof and noted that she would need at
least three buckets of oats and a carrot to get the taste out of
her mouth.

SUNDAY, MARCH 1 Dweebs across the globe can suck it, says charming
30-year-old actor Matthew Goode! “I think the fanboys aren’t
particularly happy,” Goode told The Sun about the mixed reaction
to his role as one of Watchmen‘s gazillion lead characters. “But
if fanboys still hate the film after going and seeing it, they can all
line up and suck my dick.” The silver-tongued thesp continued,
“I don’t give a fuck. I’m having a child and that’s more important to
me—so I don’t give a fuck. Grow a dick.” MEANWHILE, IN THE
FUTURE…. 57-year-old Matthew Goode will come home to his
one-bedroom apartment, exhausted from yet another comic book convention
where he desperately sold his autograph to smirking fanboys. “If
one more overweight man-child asks me to record their voicemail message
with ‘Leave a message or not, I don’t give a fuck, grow a dick,’ I am
so done with the con circuit,” he’ll say. “Besides, me and
Mark Hamill have this new pilot we’re gonna pitch around
town….”
