To: over-rated flash in the pan, Miley Cyrus
From: the Debbie Gibson preferring Dirk Mancuso
Mind if I pull up a chair at the pity party your camp is throwing for you over the latest “photo scandal” that seems to rock the Hannah Montan empire every week or so?
Now granted I’m not all Hollywood savvy and shit, but maybe – MAYBE — these little crises could be avoided if you quit taking stupid pics of yourself. Oh, I know it seems all fun and precious and stuff, but trust me when I say that anyone with a lick of common sense will regret until their dying day fucking up an (inexplicably) burdgeoning career just because they felt the need to act out some flirty teenage drama shit. Don’t believe me? Give Lindsay Lohan a call.
I actually think those lame-brain pics from your phone are more damaging than that damn Annie Leibovitz photo that had everyone abuzz. All those people made a stink over a pic they call “racy,” “provactive,” and “overtly sexual” which frankly, if you ask me (and face it, if you want to know what’s racy, provocative, and overtly sexual — ask a gay man) wasn’t any of those things. It sure as hell wasn’t flattering, either. And claiming your parents were negligent to allow it to be taken in the first place — whatever.
If they want to talk about child negligence, let’s start that name your folks hung on you: Miley. Oh, I’m sure there’s some wonderfully pseudo-touching story about how they arrived at it, but when it’s all said and done it’s still a stupid name. Yet I don’t hear anyone grousing about that. That’s because they’re the same hypocrites that hung names like Destiny Rose, MaJayla Latrina, and Cade Rockne on their own crib lizards. (And I will NOT be shocked when Destiny, MaJayla, and Cade grace a DATELINE SPECIAL: WHEN KIDS KILL THEIR PARENTS.)
Oh, I know the opinions of a 42-year-old gay man is of little interest to a cocky teenage multi-millionairess but trust me when I say I don’t think you’d make the first cut on AMERICAN IDOL. Or even a callback for the late, lamented PASSIONS. There are tons of people out there with way more talent than you — you just got lucky.
Now be grateful and ride the gravy train to the end of the line with a little class.

Keesha is jealous of you because YOU are prettier than her?
Bwa-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Stop it — you’re killing me.

You know, a satisfied customer tells 3 people…and an unsatisfied one tells 300.
Or however many people read his blog.

Okay, so it’s on like a bon-bon (or whatever the kids say these days).
September 8th.
Mailbag Monday.
Send your questions, queeries, comments, and concerns to dirk.mancuso@gmail.com. Then look for the response, as well as your name (and link to your blog if you have one) to be immortalized on this piece of shit. All questions will be answered but send them early since I am apparently going to be riding on the good graces of friends to use their computers until mine finally arrives.





This is going to kill you Dirk: Miley Cyrus’ real name is Destiny Hope Cyrus. I saw her dad on TV and he said she got the name miley ’cause she was always s-miling?
Was this Best Buy who fucked up your order? It sounds like Circuit City.
That’s the cats meow, Dirk, for bringing Mailbag Monday back. Now let me see what to ask? Have you heard the one about heavy rocks and how much God can lift? How about another Dear Lola? I got lots of quetions for her.

“Now be grateful and ride the gravy train to the end of the line with a little class.”
And invest well–don’t forget to invest well! Because your earning potential will exponentially decrease when your trouty-pouty lips start to sag, and you begin looking less like a young Lesley-Anne Down and more like Alfred Hitchcock.
(And I think the “Miley” might have come about because Daddio couldn’t spell.)

Doesnt help unless you tell us the NAME of the place you ordered from. I’ve ordered from J&R in NYC and TigerDirect.com without any problem. You may have a problem if your credit card billing address isnt the same as the shipping address (if its your first time).

Wasn’t Miley/Hannah’s birth name Destiny Rose? And there’s supposedly a cute story about why they nicknamed her Miley (who has now legally changed her name to same). As for April, I about fell outta my chair last night when April said she’s prettier than Keesha! And wasn’t Ollie’s face priceless? I could tell he was thinking—’prettier than Keesha? Oh shut up and you’ll continue to get laid!’
Will be watching the live feeds this week to see who has the guts to try to suck up to Miz Renny!

Oh, yeah—Mailbag Monday question
When you get that illusive computer from heretofore unnamed vendor, will you put up pics of your new apartment, futon and all?

Mailbag Monday, eh? Okay – you asked for it.

Miley’s SISTER’s name is NOAH.
WTF?
But what can you expect from the mulleted wonder?

Perhaps NOAH stands for “Numb All Over the Head.”
But no…no, I don’t think Billy Ray would have the presence of mind to arrange that kind of acronym.

And anyway, the “over” and “all” would be in the wrong order, wouldn’t they? Hmmmm…that makes the name more of a mystery…unless maybe they plan to send her away in a boat.
