As ex-executive chief in charge of operations for the burning flames of hellfire, Helen's access to eternal contracts is legendary. She is the world's foremost double-agent war-correspondent from hell - to Hollywood - and back again. Her opinions do not necessarily reflect those of this or any other publication.

 

Hello, and welcome to a brand new year of 

WHO’S GOING TO HELL THIS WEEK?

January 7, 2002

Lots of Oscar contenders and big blockbusters opening this week, huh? Like Hollywood, Satan releases his best stuff near the end of the year, so don't expect any big surprises this week, just a lot of little ones.
- Helen -

10. Something went horribly wrong with Satan's plan for film critic Jeffrey Lyons to steal an airplane and crash it into film critic Gene Shalit

9. George W. Bush said "NOT over my dead body will they raise taxes" when he really meant "OVER my dead body will they raise taxes."  Osama bin Laden replied "Dead or alive, makes no difference to me."

8. Despite the capture of Taliban spokesmodel Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, Whoopi Goldberg is still hosting the Oscars this year.

7. Houston is the fattest city in the United States. Israel captures a ship full of weaponry intended to arm the Palestinians. Connect the dots. 

6. Afghans with grudges have figured out that American bombs are effective against personal enemies as well as the Taliban. Tribal leaders are requesting airstrikes against rival tribes and CNN.

5. Why are starving Afghani villagers reduced to eating grass? How else could  bootleg "Lord of the Rings" videotapes already be available In Jalalabad?

4. Which member of The Backstreet Boys is the reincarnation of Napoleon's doctor's goldfish? Hint: he's got a thing for handcuffs.

3. Nike cancelled a $10 million ad campaign calling their new sneakers "the bomb."

2. "It's really too bad Yves Saint Laurent is retiring," says Adolf Hitler from the 4th level of hell. "He totally changed the way I look at the pantsuit."

And the number one people going to hell this week?

1. Anybody still going to http://sites.netscape.net/gossipfromhell/ when I'm now at http://mywebpage.netscape.com/gossipfromhell/.

Personal to Netscape: You guys are going to pay.
Personal to Mephistopheles: Remember that favor you owe me?

QUOTES FROM HELL

"If I cut my finger, we're talking a paper cut, this is tragedy. I'll go to Mount Sinai, I'll have a team of big surgeons look at it, I'll worry all night, I'll take Tylenol. Comedy is if YOU walk into an open sewer and die. What do I care?"
- Mel Brooks -

"There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do and nothing else to pursue."
- Yamamota (The Book of the Samurai) -

"I have forced myself to contradict myself in order to avoid conforming to my own taste."
- Marcel Duchamp -

"Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly."
- Lotus Weinstock -

"If the murder of twelve innocent people can help save one human life, it will have been worth it."
-Dr. Necessiter from the Steve Martin comedy, "The Man with Two Brains" (1983)-

"Resolutions? Eat fewer Cheeseburgers."
- George W. Bush -

EASIEST REWRITE FROM HELL

"Mullah Omar is on the Run"
-Headline at NYT-

In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway Taliban dream
At night we ride through Kandahar in suicide machines
Sprung from caves out on highway Osh-Horog,
making friends with a camel and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
Cause Mullah's like us, baby we were born to run

DUH!

15 Iranian intellectuals accused of undermining the country's government say they are not being given a fair trial.

The official recount comes to less than 3,000 deaths at the WTCs but George W. Bush says it doesn't matter, he's still president.

PICTURE OF ANN COULTER FROM HELL

COUNTRY SONG FROM HELL

I Can't Tell the Difference

I'm the loneliest Taliban ever there was
Every day I just do what a Taliban does
Like I sit here and read from the scriptures and then 
I just sit here and read from the scriptures again

     I'm a loner, an accident waiting to happen.
     A rebel. A poet. A man out of time.
     Cause life is so strange that I can't tell the difference 
     between a religion and organized crime

    You can be bold and courageous and find yourself 
     up to your elbows in camels and grime
     When life is so strange that you can't tell the difference 
     between a religion and organized crime

I hear them saying that they're going to sentence me
If not for treason then something related
The rest of my life I will spend in a prison
alone with my charges so vastly inflated

     I want a lifestyle where everything matters
     between the ridiculous and the sublime
     Cause life is so strange that I can't tell the difference
     between a religion and organized crime

     My life is a wreck. I feel so fictitious
     A character out of a nursery rhyme
     Cause life is so strange that I can't tell the difference 
     between a religion and organized crime

Once I was leading the life of a terrorist
Studying radioactive decay
Now I just sit on a rock and do nothing
With all my friends at Guantanamo Bay

     I know I was bad and I know I was good
     and I know my opinions are not worth a dime
     But life is so strange that I can't tell the difference 
     between a religion and organized crime

     Life is so strange that I can't tell the difference
     between a religion and organized crime

SITES FROM HELL

From the Media Research Center, The Fourteenth Annual Awards for the Year's Worst Reporting

Harry Shearer's "Le Show" has two Best of the Year episodes, pre-9/11 and post-9/11.

Before 911, Rudy Giuliani was a total putz.

It's hard to believe but in 1990 Lyndon LaRouche came up with a mid-east peace plan that would actually work. Digging a canal from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea would revitalize the area. Mandatory reading.

Check out this list of Bush administration appointees who owned stock in Enron.

What? You're not Kid Rock? So what? You're still invited to Groupie Central.

So you think you know what religion you are? Not till you use the Belief System Selector.

It took a lot of balls to put this site together. Celebrity balls, that is.

The ending of every movie, spoiled forever.

For one brief shining moment of musical Camelot, everything ever recorded was available in one place. Now Napster is asking the US government to let it happen again with mandatory licensing.

One day after linkydinky mentioned my site, I got 3,470 hits, which is 5 more than normal. Way to go, guys!
