Adventures in Procrastination: We might have … [Diversions]

Aug 4, 2008 Author: celebrat | Filed under: celebrat

Adventures in Procrastination: We might have found just the thing to make these long, early August weekdays tolerable: the Parallel Universe Film Guide, a sort-of comprehensive database of movies bearing uncanny likenesses to classics and not-so-classics cataloged by IMDB. We're stunned to find new favorites like 1972's The Lovablest Mafia Family in the World, the 1985 culture clash Suddenly Amish, the award-winning drama My Wild Irish Invalid and the unfinished silent classic The Night Jerker among many others, all neatly cross-referenced by star, director and even memorable quotes. If you can browse the PUFG and manage to get any more work done today, then you're just not paying attention. [PUFG via Snobsite]

Celebrity Hospitalization Week continues here at Defamer with some distressing news from the sweat-soaked-leotard world of So You Think You Can Dance. No sooner did we note that Fox had picked up another season of the series—a reality competition seeking America's Top Krumping Ballroom Cha Cha Champion—comes news that two of the final four contestants were hospitalized for failing to keep up with the grueling demands of the show's whip-cracking, belegwarmered creator, Nigel Lythgoe. From People.com:

Two dancers in the Top 4 of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance collapsed at rehearsals Saturday and had to be rushed by ambulance to nearby Cedars Sinai Hospital–just days before the reality series season finale.

“Two went in [Saturday] and so there was no more rehearsals, and today [Sunday] all the rehearsals were called off,” ballroom expert and SYTYCD judge Mary Murphy confirmed to PEOPLE at Fox’s 2008 Teen Choice Awards in L.A. on Sunday. “The kids are completely dehydrated – two of them. I’m sure they’re doing a lot of blood work to see if there’s anything else.”

Our hearts and prayers go out to these hard-working young hoofers, for whom winning would mean just about everything—in Twitch's case, perhaps even allowing the talented hip-hop dancer inside a Broadway theater, instead of just spinning around on a piece of cardboard outside one, as Lythgoe once so aptly put it. We'd hate to see their desperate need to board the Hot Tamale Train result in a one-way ticket on the Danced-To-Death Express.

After "going gay" for Samantha Ronson, is there anything left in the tabloid till for cinema alumna Lindsay Lohan? According to the ever-reliable UK fishwrap News of the World, there is: in a bid to retake the headlines stolen by little sister Ali, Lindsay and her sapphic sweetheart Sam are planning to get hitched (an anniversary present that somehow eluded our suggestions). Says the excitable Rav Singh:

I can reveal that Lindsay will come out and declare her eternal love for sweetheart SAM RONSON at a private ceremony in LA later this year.

I'm told the smitten pair will exchange vows to stay together for LIFE.

Lindsay's mum Dina has told pals that she wants to "welcome Sam into the family" with a lavish do, including drinks and canapes for Li-Lo's pals and relatives.

The 22-year-old Freaky Friday star has been shopping for a white mini-dress for the occasion —and I hear she's chosen a very bridal-looking one by Chanel.

And crop-haired DJ Sam, 30, has joked that she'll wear a black groom-style suit complete with a TOP HAT.

As excited as we are about a "lavish do" that promises to include drinks AND canapes, forgive us for sounding skeptical about a wedding to cap off a relationship that hasn't yet been publicly confirmed. Still, there's at least one upside to the potential ceremony: with all of their paparazzi in tow, the new Ms-and-Ms. Ronson could save a bundle on wedding photography.
