They offered me the office, offered me the shop. They said I'd better take anything they'd got. Do you wanna make tea at the CBC? Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?

The star pin got it’s 15 minutes of fame in Flare or SHE did and the pin was just beemed down for the ride ?
“My Starfleet pin got its 15 mins in Flare mag! I wear that thing everywhere, it’s how I communicate w/ my mom.”
It’s good to see that’s she’s going back to her “Captain Lights” schtick because we all know it was sooooooooooo successful last time ’round!
It must be embarrassing to her and Jian that all of this publicity isn’t helping album sales.
Jian mocking a Canuckistani Twitterer :
He’s Canadian when he needs employment & funding for his company & client. But lest we get the wrong idea and think that he’s just an average unhyphenated Canadian, he’ll constantly remind us that he is also British, Iranian or Persian (depending on how exotic a mood he’s in), among many other wonderful things that makes him so special and unique.
Does Lights feel jealous or threatened by the whole Jian/Kelly affair? She’s kind of quiet on Twitter. What if Jian moves away to New York?
I think he has almost the entire summer off from Q so he’ll be spending a little time with Lights on the Lillith Fair tour (but only when it reaches destinations like New York or LA) and he also likes to do his usual trip to Hollywood & claim that he’s attending important business meetings with industry executives & then there’s Europe & Kelly in New York & The Hamptons (which he was begging to go to in an interview)…
Don’t forget the obligatory trip to London, his BIRTHPLACE, in case you didn’t know. No mere Canadian, our Jian.
And there’s also the obligatory “getting recognized all over the globe wherever I go” story. Wasn’t there one in the Hello magazine article where he said that he was in some remote part of Europe (possibly the mountains of Albania) and people were hounding him for autographs?
Oh no here we go……
Jian rejects a woman who makes a kind, sweet gesture…but a woman like Kelly who humiliates him and his client on Twitter? He’s in love! As long as the night ends at MTV.
Tweet from Kelly Cutrone: I am hosting 12 eight year olds for a sleepover – I slept 3 hours flew in from Toronto and have to wake up at 6am to pancakes and a pink limo – message think before you fall in love!
Jian is missing out on a sleepover! Awww…Kelly is in love. She’d better not write in bubblewriting.
They both think that being obsessive is cute or funny. Not! It’s just unhealthy.
Especially at Jian’s age. When he was belittling the “bubble writing woman” he sounded so immature and tacky for a man in his 40’s.
And for a man who has been belittled for his appearance, you would think he would have a little more tolerance and compassion.
What she did was a kind, sweet little gesture and he turned it into “I’m repulsed by this person – she’s an idiot!”.
It’s funny. Jian will overlook Lights’ obsession with light-sabers and ray-guns, but bubble-writing is a “dealbreaker”?
I’m starting to think … is Jian truly addicted to pistachios or is that code for something else ?
Did he become addicted to pistachios to better relate to Lights and her alleged addictions ?
If Jian ever has a hear attack or stroke (and he’s in the right age bracket) Lights is screwed.
Even if she just took classes in pottery or cooking or something! Jeez girl, your heading for a nervous breakdown.
Here’s the weird thing. Lights is a big girl now. 23 years old. She’s in Toronto. She should be going out to see bands, hanging out, collaborating, schmoozing, etc. Instead she stays in watching cartoons? Yeah, that’s healthy….
She doesn’t seem to have any friends here either. All of her friends are Jian’s friends or industry people. That’s gotta suck.
Maybe Jian discourages her from having her own friends? Fills her head with a lot of crap about people outside his circle, like they can’t be trusted, they’re bad and they just want to use her – things that a cult leader would say.
That’s interesting. It seemed at his birthday party, he didn’t have any old friends, family, etc. “outside” the circle. Paranoid much?
He seems more interested in having people like Kelly Cutrone at his birthday rather than real friends and family. Family in particular doesn’t seem to be very important to him, other than giving him something to mention in interviews.
Here’s the irony: the people INSIDE her circle are using her.
…..and no one more so than Jian
Her life in Toronto doesn’t seem much different from her stalker’s life
http://twitter.com/chosenhorse2 …….except that he at least gets out of his house every day and goes to the animal shelter.
All of her friends are virtual “friends”: on Twitter or World of Warcraft. And of course there’s the “Lights Army”. I’m thinking most of her friends are underage, so they can’t hang out at the pub for a pint.
And she probably thinks that it’s beneath her to hang out with non-showbiz people. She’s likely picked up that snobbery from Jian by now.
And some of the songs were co-written!
Not surprising. She can’t seem to do anything without someone’s help : Jian, Kelly, Owl City, FACTOR, Radio Starmaker Fund…..
add VideoFact to that list.
The only magazine I haven’t seen jian/lights in is CycleCanada, and that’s only because they don’t ride motorcycles….yet….
& Lights is in Flare magazine, where she mentions that she would like to open her own studio. Guess those who can: DO – those who can’t: PRODUCE.
It took her 22 years to write an album’s worth of material; she doesn’t need her own studio.
Luckily, Jian doesn’t have to write his memoirs because we have all heard the story of his life AD NAUSEUM.
Exactly. All of his interviews look like a copy/paste of the same interview. How many f@cking times does he need to tell the world that he loves pistachios?
the dirty secret is out! jian/lights aren’t very interesting people!
http://www.nuvomagazine.com/
Jian’s monthly magazine profile/article….Notice that since he and Kelly became “friends”, he has been in one magazine after another ad nauseum?
Here’s a tweet from Lights this afternoon. I wonder why she was wound up and needed to ‘wind down’? Pissed off about Kelly trying to steal her man last night?
Sounds like she was hittin’ the coke (not the soft drink) early today…
Lights/Jian are overexposed. Too many magazines, shows, etc. There is nothing special about them anymore. Ubiquity. Boredom.
Kelly’s twitter silence is even more interesting. Maybe she’s lost some credibility in New York with all of her schoolgirl antics.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she loses at least one client (Wonderboy Entertainment Inc.) as a result of her recent behaviour.
Well, if she worked for me, I wouldn’t have much trust in her understanding the impact of her tweets. She looked like an idiot. She’s old enough to know better. You’d be fired, Kelly.
Still recovering from all that pistachio love.
It’s weird that Lights hasn’t tweeted anything about Jian’s Bday party last night. Trouble in paradise?
Why doesn’t Rick Mercer host any awards shows?
Jian has a monopoly on award shows. I’m not sure why.
Maybe Jian works cheaper than everyone else? Maybe he’ll just do it for food?
Do they pay him in pistachios?
Another night, another award show to host….
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
He must watch thousands of awards get handed out every year with the number of award shows that he host. How is it possible that he never gets one himself? Doesn’t he work in the Arts too? Burn.
Did Jian ignore Kelly at his party like he does on Twitter?
Well…she is a woman over 40…..so probably.
And LIGHTS was there to steal the spotlight.
He shouldn’t be so sad about getting older, maybe the store on Sheppard that he buys his pistachios from offers senoir discounts ?
With that kid pic of Jian and how they’re all dressed in black – it looks more like a funeral than a Bday party. Maybe they were mourning the loss of “young Jian” as he moves closer to senior citizen age?
One can only hope…it’s time he evolved.
Maybe his love of pistachios is the reason why his teeth are so f#cked up!
Just sayin’..
Jian drives from The Peanut Factory to north of Sheppard to buy pistachios? Why doesn’t he just go to the Regent Park Supermarket right on the corner of his street?
He could even jet over to Kensington Market on a bike or down to St. Lawrence market for pistachios…but our Jian isn’t much of an environmentalist.
Was Kelly the most famous person at the party?
If Kelly didn’t go, would that hair stylist guy have been the most famous person there?
LIGHTS was the most famous person there, but there aren’t any pictures of her because she didn’t want to upstage anyone. Wonder how she feels about her man pushing 50?
http://www.jian.ca/uploads/mon_june_8_to_star.jpg
Here are one of the many pistachio articles.
“I exercise my domestic rights,” he says. “Sometimes I cook Indian food or quasi-Persian food, which is Persian food made badly. I’ll do rice and stew and put it in Tupperware.”
He kids about it on air, but he really is nuts about pistachios.
“I buy my pistachios in bulk now,” Ghomeshi says. “No more small packages. I get them north of Sheppard and they are imported from Iran; Iranian pistachios taste better.
“When my relatives go to Iran, they bring back big containers. All Iranians have celebrations of pistachios.”
The creepiest, weirdest, saddest thing about that party was that picture of Jian as a kid. It bizarre that Jian would bring a picture of himself 30-40 years ago to his birthday party for people to look at. We know he’s fixated on youth but that’s just disturbing.
Maybe he brought the picture to explain to people that is still how he sees himself. Which is why he dates young women. But his phobia of aging is ageist. The next 30 years of his life ain’t gonna be fun if doesn’t get over it.
What’s weird is that of all the fabulous, famous celebrities, musicians, poets, dancers, writers Jian has interviewed, he ends up hanging out with Kelly (who probably went to the party passing out business cards.)
What’s even more sad is that this is one of the last few birthdays before Jian hits 50. And he’s still searching for fame.
That is what Jian (& every narcissist) wants most as a birthday present: attention. Which is what Kelly gave him (no matter how desperately weird it looks…).
Is THIS how the fab-u-lous people party? Taking pictures of each other & tweeting about it? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz………….
Didn’t he mention pistachios in a magazine article ? Can someone find it … something about going to someone’s cottage and he will bring the pistachios ? So lame anyways.
His whole party seems to be really weird with Kelly there and all the build up with ‘The Situation” and Snooki and then this MTV appearance and the kiddy photos of himself and him being comprised of mostly pistachios and douche.
Weird & sad…I know truck drivers who have more fun. Is this what fame gets you?
I have eaten bday pistachios all day. I have set a new record for eating pistachios. My body is now 64% comprised of pistachios. (about 5 hours ago by @jianghomeshi)
Yeah, jian. & you’ll probably shit a bar of halvah tomorrow. Grow up.
Would someone please explain why Kelly Cutrone is so popular? It is beyond comprehension!
Why is it all so hideously depressing?
Jian and Kelly make a really good mid-life crisis tag team.
Jian & Kelly obviously never tire of the fame game….Jian leaves his own Bday party at 11pm to got to MTV with Kelly to try to get his face on TV….narcissism never sleeps….
Now they are at MTV Canada. OMG are they gonna be on TV??
http://tweetphoto.com/26431738
Kelly doesn’t look like she’s enjoying herself….Maybe she’s all partied out….Partying with Paris Hilton and Snooki and “The Situation” can wear a bitch out….
Maybe Kelly is wearing those glasses to hide her emotions ?
Someone should tell Kelly, if you have to cry go outside !
Paul Venoit and Jian Ghomeshi = middle aged men with kids hairstyles
Nice shades Kel. It must be really sunny inside tonight…..
You mean besides Lights?
@peoplesrev and @venoit looking sexy.
@jianghomeshi
SO Debra Goldblatt is there, and Paul Venoit… PR flaks and hairdressers, looking at baby pictures.
I sure hope someone brought the cocaine?
Well, this was the tweet that accompanied the photo –
He still has the same haircut that he had as a kid!
EEP! What the hell is wrong with her? Is this party at The Peanut Factory? Jian has pictures of himself as a kid on display at his house? EEP!
It’s sad that the only pictures of kids he has in his house are pictures of himself (& also a little weird).
Kelly proclaims her love for Jian while looking at a childhood photos of him. So weird !
Here’s another one:
http://tweetphoto.com/26417333
Is he making them worship at the shrine of Ghomeshi at this party?
Why is Jian still tweeting? Shouldn’t he be picking out a man scarf to wear to his Bday party or something?
I see the similarities.
“Jian Scissorhands”
Johnny Depp doesn’t pay people to tweet about him.
Jian, isn’t it a sign of old age when you lose touch with reality?
Johnny Depp doesn’t lie about his age either.
ps – special thx to Johnny Depp who shares same bday but graciously remains a few years older than me each June 9th. Kind. I rely on that. (about an hour ago by @jianghomeshi)
Is Jian subtly comparing himself to Johnny Depp? Mr. Depp is a beautiful, humble, reclusive, intelligent actor who is committed to one woman with whom he has children. No comparison. And he’s not that much older. Is Jian pretending to be a young man again. Oh, the arrogance.
Who knew a tweet could be pathetic, embarrassing & arrogant, all at the same time?
Now it’s back down again. Jian’s got to get those tweets in while he can….
Guess who’s one of the first ones back on Twitter as service has been (at least momentarily) restored :
LMAO! Anyone who uses Twitter as their primary method of communication is an idiot. Pick up the damn phone, Kelly. Reach out and touch someone. There’s your REALITY, baby.
EEP! It’s Jian’s big day & Twitter is Failing Large! Kelly must be going out of her mind being stuck in Hogtown with no Twitter!

His opening monologue is where he displays his talent : being able to read something written by the Q staff. Retard Jian was calling it an “essay” until a Tea Maker told him it was a “monologue” not an “essay”.
Strange that he promotes his opening monologue, the lamest part of the show. Nobody gives a shit what he thinks, it’s all about the guests. The opening monologue is just the self-indulgent tripe people have to listen to while waiting for an interesting person to show up. The show would be as popular or more with a better host.
Good heavens! Daniel Lanois (a former Q guest) has been injured & Jian HAS NOT tweeted about it yet!
Finally! The requisite tweet:
Sending our dear musical treasure Daneil Lanois best wishes on the air this morn for a full & speedy recovery. (27 minutes ago by @jianghomeshi)
…but he didn’t spell Daniel’s name correctly…ouch…
Always a good laugh to watch immoral people trying to look moral. So phony…
Mr. Government Subsidy is now talking like an indignant fiscal conservative. Is this another brilliant Kelly Cutrone Public Relations/Marketing strategy?
My opening monologue tmrw will be about the $1.9 million Fake Lake. Paid for by us! Bestest idea. Ever. (35 minutes ago by @jianghomeshi)
Employees of Crown Corporations who live in glass houses & who benefit from FACTOR, shouldn’t throw stones. You have no moral highground to stand on, sir.
Perfect! The next guest on “Q”!
Tweet from Kelly to Jian :

I alway wondered why dyslexic was such a hard word to spell. Don’t those people have enough problems as it is ?
He’ll start claiming that he’s 34 and also dyslexic.
I wonder when Wednesday hits if Jian will announce his age ? Like, a tweet saying, Confirmed: Today I’m 43. Or, has he already been lying and turning back the hands of time ?
Maybe the plan is to hook Jian up with “Snooki”…and have Jian punch her in the face….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHBTzHowR-s
One can only hope. Seriously, it’s getting weird that a 23-year-old Canadian woman isn’t dating anybody & has no boyfriend at all (except George & Jian on the side, of course). Especially because all of her songs are about relationships!
Is Lights going to have to date “The Situation” for publicisty now ? Is that what that plan is that has been cooked up by Kelly and Jian ?
The Go-Gos first big hit didn’t come until a few years after Jian was 13.
Yikes! Lights’ consoled herself with cartoons on the weekend. What happened to that warrior-queen-loving-swords-&-guns chick? Go cry outside!
Lights’ metaphors are almost as bad as her music.
For someone so proud to be brown, Jian loves himself some white women.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7rGNcBt4BE
Romeo & Juliet & Kelly…..
If Lights were a dude it would have went more like “Love is to a human as the inside of a VAGINA is to a PRICK”
Is she losing her man? Is Captain Lights’ human heart broken? Is her Light dimming?
“Deep Thoughts”, by Lights Poxleitner….
There has to be a reason why she’s rubbing it in his face and zinging him with a Bday shout out when it wasn’t his birthday. Maybe it has something to do with that “Birthday Giant” remark. Maybe Jian is making a big deal about his Bday and she’s amused by it and thinks “Who do you think you are, buddy? You’re a pretender. I’m the real thing. I’m chilling with Hollywood celebs while you’re watching a hockey game on TV.”
Is Jian trying to make Kelly jealous with Belinda?
Belinda Carlisle joins me this morn for feature chat on Q w/ candid new memoir, “Lips Unsealed.” (if you had told me this when I was 13…) (about 3 hours ago by @jianghomeshi)
isn’t Jian emotionally still 13? Eeep!
It may be Cutthroat’s way of warning Jian: be nice to me or I’ll let all these american celebrities know what an a***hole you are to me & your show will be OVER!
I bet Jian wishes he were chillin’ at the MTV awards and then Kelly has to go and throw it in his face. Or, Kelly knows Jian wishes he WAS the situation.
I’m so confused. Cutthroat is playing severe mind games with Jiji.
Man, she’s cruel. She posts a picture of herself with “The Situation” and adds at the end (on Twitlonger) “Hey @jianghomeshi haPpy bday” (Jian’s Bday isn’t until Wednesday) :
” http://tweetphoto.com/26034006 Situation & I opposite ends of the spectrum of Italian Americans good nite from LA!! Hey @jianghomeshi haPpy bday”
Jian only did 2 tweets tonight. The last one was at the end of the first period and he basically just gave the score of the game and then he was gone.
Kelly, meanwhile did 30 tweets (no joke) throughout the show! Dropping names left & right : Tom Cruise, Betty White, Jessica Alba, Samuel Jackson, Mark Wahlberg, Sandra (Bullock), Katy Perry, Kristen Stewart, Jessica Biel, JLO, Diddy, Snoop Dog….
Needless to say, Jian probably cried himself to sleep.
Kelly is doing a great job mentally terrorizing Jian in so many ways right now.
jian must be dying inside that he isn’t at the mtv awards with all those american celebrities
Hawks/Flyers – first period complete. # of Chicago goals: 3. # of Philly goals: 0. # of shots of Vince Vaughn in crowd: 7. (50 minutes ago by @jianghomeshi)
# of Jian’s celebrity name-dropping tweets to date: countless
It’s actually kinda cool that Kelly has ruined Twitter and an awards show for Jian. Those are 2 of his favourite things. And on Wednesday she’s gonna ruin his birthday too. When you look at it that way, she’s really not that bad. She deserves some kind of Supercunt medal.
I wonder if Kelly is going to blow the lid off of Jian’s & Lights’ relationship?
it seems Kelly has ruined twitter for Lights too…hmmm…..
Jian has finally come out of hiding now that Kelly is busy sitting in the audience at the MTV Movie Awards :
What narcissism! Kelly makes Jian’s birthday party all about her! Eeep!
Could Kelly be accused of sexually harrassing Jian?
