Who would've thought it'd come to this? Yes, I know the gas prices are skyrocketing and closing in on $4.00 a gallon almost everywhere across Hawaii, but oh my goodness! I never thought people would sink to this.
In today's Advertiser, I read that people are starting to steal gas from cars and trucks. First copper wire, now gasoline? It's almost as if the world is slowly regressing instead of progressing.

Celeb Alert - Kala'i Miller
Today I saw Kala'i Miller at Jamba Juice on Ward. The place is always packed in the mornings so I didn't think anything of it. Then, I heard a voice that sounded familiar. I turned to my right and there he was, like an angel sent down from heaven. Well, not really. But he was sitting on my right talking to another guy. I was 98% sure it was him, and my suspicions were confirmed when a guy walked in and said, "Eh Kala'i, long time no see."
Wow, a real live, walking-talking celeb! My friend Lan (and probably Joc for that matter although I know she has a distinct dislike for the guy) would trip! Anyway, I looked around to see if anyone else in the place was trying to surpress a giddy giggle and a not-so-subtle smile. Nope. Nada. I'm not sure if it was because people hadn't had their Strawberry Toppers to wake them up yet or if it was because it's been almost 10 years since Baywatch Hawaii and no one gives a damn about him anymore. I mean, at least Jason Momoa is on some Sci-Fi channel series right?
Initial impressions of the real-life Kala'i:
1) Shorter than I thought he'd be
2) Very tan - none of that spray-on stuff for this guy
3) Spoke and acted like every other local guy
4) Apparently his real name/alter ego is "Dan" because that's what the girls behind the counter called out for his order.

Paps News Briefs
Media Savvy Lady
MSNBC.com is touting Jessica Alba's wedding as one of the best PR strategies in her career. By getting married to her boyfriend Cash Warren on the heels of the Ashlee Simpson/Pete Wentz nuptuals (May 19 to Ashlee's May 17), Alba was able to avoid much of the hoopla that normally surrounds Hollywood weddings. As usual, she does everything with such class.
Perlman Less than a Gem
Guess the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync were right to quit their manager, Lou Perlman. More sleezy than a greasy Antonio Banderas, Perlman bilked individual investors and banks out of $300 million. I guess he had to move on to bigger fish once his boys left him.
Another Nanny Debacle?
Dylan McDermott has filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years. Think it might be a Rob Lowe nanny debacle? He does have two children . . . .
Free Katie! Free Katie!
Oh, sorry. Guess I'm fighting a losing battle on this one huh? It does not appear likely that Katie Homes will ever be released from the mighty grasp of Tom Cruise. But, he did let his girl go for a brief minute to perform in Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" on Broadway. Good thing she's a actress and has a good imagination. She can pretend she's a free woman.
Actress Turned Singer?
Scarlett Johansson is the latest celeb to try her had at singing. Her debut album, "Anywhere I Lay My Head," seems to have bombed with the critics. Pesonally, I've gotta agree it sucks as well. Her voice seems overly synthesized . . . to cover a no-talent, wannabe singer's voice perhaps? Listen for yourself and you be the judge.
