Eonline posted up some of the first pics of Chaz Bono (formerly Chastity Bono) after his transition.

While Chaz, the only son of Sonny Bono and Cher, hasn’t disclosed whether he’s surgically transitioned yet, pics seem to indicate that Chaz is living as a male full time now. Chaz announced early in June that he was going to have gender reassignment surgery to become physically male.

E also reports that there were no takers on the reality show Chaz and Cher pitched about the transition.

I thought perhaps I was the only one who found this commercial to be in horrendous taste, but apparently Gawker did, too.

David Spade, whose buddy films and general camaraderie with SNL castmate Chris Farley arguably carried the show through the mid to late 90s, doesn’t seem to be doing much these days. But he still has time to trot out the memory of Farley in a really sad and creepy way in a DirecTV commercial. Spade does a bit interspliced with Farley’s “fat guy in a little coat” performance in Tommy Boy. I caught this spot during last night’s Yankees game and was really, really surprised that it was allowed to happen. It even seemed crass to hear Spade refer to Farley as “tons of fun,” insulting a dead man out of the context of the film from over a decade ago.

Granted, the Spade/Farley stuff from the 90s hasn’t aged well, but it cracked me up when the two dominated SNL and this commercial definitely sours future watchings of Tommy Boy for me. Sad. (And shameless.)

The Libertines, the band fronted by Carl Barat and Pete Doherty and famously torn apart by Doherty’s fondness for heroin and crack, will finally reform, according to Contact Music.

The band, which was wildly popular in the early part of the 2000s, was featured as frequently in gossip columns as in music press for Doherty’s near-constant scandals, with bouts in rehab and jail and a contentious relationship with Kate Moss. (She was in Doherty’s company when she was filmed snorting coke in a recording studio in 2005.) The relationship between Barat and Doherty degraded throughout 2004 and by the end of that year, Barat had dissolved the band rather than continuing on without Doherty. Doherty has since played with his band Babyshambles, while Barat has been involved with band Dirty Pretty Things.

Although Barat said earlier this month that he was too busy to reunite with the Libertines, it has been reported that the band will be reforming in 2010.

A comment made by comedian David Cross at a stand-up gig this week has been widely re-posted across the blogosphere due to an outrageous claim he made about snorting coke at the White House Correspondents’ Association, about 40 feet away from the President.

Cross wrapped up a set Wednesday night with the controversial brag, apparently part of an ongoing competition with a friend. Cross “got to go because (his) girlfriend is a fancy Hollywood actress,” and he decided to use the opportunity to get the upper hand over a friend who’d done blow in the now-defunct DEA museum on a trip there with Cross. Cross said:

“But it’s crazy and there’s security, Secret Service is standing there,” said Cross. “I’ve got photos of all this. … I’m there and the president is right here and with all these people at the table” Cross snorted some coke, he said. “Maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!”

Cross said he texted his friend to say, “No way you can ever top that.”

Cross could very well be joking, but it hasn’t stopped many right-wing blogs from blaming the incident on Obama. No comment from girlfriend Amber Tamblyn (of the squeaky-clean chick flick series Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants) on the veracity of her fella’s story.

Comedian, actor, and radio-TV personality Soupy Sales has died of a “series of ailments” in New York at the age of 83.

Born in Franklinton, North Carolina, Soupy Sales served in the Navy in the final years of World War 2, before studying journalism at college and starting his career on radio, then later television.

Soupy Sales was best known in the United States for his long-running local and network children’s television show, Lunch with Soupy Sales. A series of comedy sketches ending with Sales receiving a pie in the face became his trademark.

From 1968 to 1975, he was a panelist on What’s My Line? and appeared on several other TV game shows. During the 1980s Sales hosted a show on WNBC-AM in New York City.

He is survived by his wife, two sons and four grandchildren.
