Bye Bye LA

Filed under: Etc.

dennisquaid1.jpg

Dennis Quaid told TV's Extra that his family's leaving LA and heading to Texas. For good!

Dennis Quaid and fam will be settling in his wife's hometown of Austin, a city we dearly love. Great choice!

The Houston native said, "The train is going down the tracks…We have a lot of family there and we have a really nice plot of land…We have 30 or 40 friends and family members within two miles of us…It's kind of a no-brainer."

Family first!

      I live in Austin too! Wonder if I will see him or his wife. I've only been here two years, but have yet to see a celebrity…probably wouldn't recognize one if I did. LOL

      Good for them. After their close call with their infants, I'm sure the lure of Hollywood, LA is long gone. Yeah, he's still a hunk. He'll be like Paul Newman or Charlton Heston, handsome even as an old man. God bless him. Still love Inner Space with Martin Short.

      Hey everyone!! Perez didn't get on to his blog till now because he thought that EVERYONE was sooo against him about dissing Lily Allen. So he thought….Hmmm…I think I'll punish everyone and leave them all up in the air. Make them wait for some juicy gossip. THEN THEY'LL LOVE ME AGAIN!!! THERE ARE OTHER GOSSIP WEBSITES/BLOGS. Not JUST his!!!!

      hell of a lot better than L.A.! What a shit-hole filled with fake people or gangs. He can have a mansion in Austin for the price of a shack in the hood in L.A. I remember watching Housewives of Orange County and laughing because my house was bigger… HAAHAA :D You pay millions to live in an average size home in Texas.

      That's funny, because Austinites do not "dearly love" you, Perez. So stay in LA. you're a loser whose 15 minutes is almost up, judging by your spectacular performance at Hot Topic.

      Done any Jonas drooling lately yuo fat freak? Did Lily Allen roost your fat ass so hard it still hurts, fugly scream queen?

      WTF? Potato head Mario is bullying other potato head? ¡WEIRD!

      Done any gay bashing lateley fat ass? Are you madly jealous of gay couples who have everything you never will have, namely; GOOD LOOKS, SEX, AND A GOOD NORMAL RELATIONSHIP?
      Go back to drooling over the Jonas kids and let that furry litte rat you call a dog hump your leg. That is the closest you will ever come to "making out", you ugly fat freak.

      Re: Cindy – Cindy, you're such an idiot! Did you not read about Perez being in Toronto, Canada?!? Who in the hell would blog all day when they're out and about in Toronto?!? And as far as the Lily Allen beef is concerned, Perez isn't the only one who is talking mess about her (TMZ is doing an equally fine job). Take Perez's subliminal advice: You can't just talk about it, sometimes you have to be about it! GET A LIFE AND ENJOY THE DAY!

      She just tought the fat bizarro queen Mario, who likes to call himself "Perez Hilton" a thing or two about how to play his own rotten stinky game. He has been constantly bullying her for a couple of years and she just fired back. That fat freak Mario suddenly had a rude awakening… LMAO.

      Typical Hollywood blowhard. They always make a big deal about leaving LA, but they are always quiet when they slither back a few years later.

      At least this fool is a little different. Usually they make a fuss about leaving "cultureless" LA for NY.

      Re: www.IdiotInside.com – again, another idiot. first off, like i said before, Bush isn't from Texas. Look it up on wikipedia. second of all, austin is NOT like the rest of Texas. This city is supposed to triple in size in the next 10 years, and a majority of the people who live here are from San Francisco, NYC, Chicago, and other major cities who got sick of the crap in those places and decided to move here, where it's very progressive, eco-friendly, and beautiful. Dell, IBM, and other large technology icons deal here. Many famous actors, writers, and directors decided to move here and many, MANY major hollywood films have been filmed here and are still filming here as we speak.

      It's dumbasses like you, who relies on stereotypes and lazy incorrect information, that is still fueling the majority of ignorance here in the u.s.

      Austin definitely rocks!! Austin and Galveston Island are not what most people consider a typical Texas town. They are both unique in different ways. I am sure he, his wife and kids will be so glad to live near family and friends and away from the phoniness of Hollyweird. Maybe he and Robert Rodriquez can make a movie together.

      I just heard a report that the couple has made over $2M in the last 2 years - I suggest that all of us that don't care for the couple we boycott them - that means - don't click on articles about them, Don't comment on them - Put them on Ignore. If they are advertising a produce write and tell the marketing department of that product that you are going to stop using it as long as they are advertising this product. I think we should start with US Magazine and Taco Bell as far as the boycott goes.

      If we hurt the companies in their pockets - then Speidi will go AWAY

      Re: HTown – not once did i knock the rest of texas. a majority of my family is from houston. i don't like all the factories and crap in houston and a majority of the rest of the state. great, knock people like me instead of the people that think the south is a bunch of hicks and everyone here is a republican. that's great, do it on a public blog too, they LOVE that.

      p.s. i lived near new orleans for a few years, was there during katrina. people in houston had crime WAYYYY before katrina. way to show some compassion for your fellow southerns. you sound like all those people from up north that thought katrina was a godsend. if anything, you're the BIOTCH!

      And the personal attack presuming a girl is menstruating due to being offended by someone else's ignorance - top notch! Another original creation. I'm SURE that one hasn't been around since the beginning of human existence. Bravo.

      75

      Yes, indeed, it's a no-brainer. I did the same thing in 2003, left L.A. for Austin, and it's the best move I've ever made. L.A. is overly expensive, overly crowded and always cold after sunset. Austin is cheap, warm, super laid back, really friendly, quiet, fun and just plain special. In addition, Texas is conservative so no state income tax and far fewer insanities courtesy of the left.

      In Austin, hospitals aren't forced to hire unqualified retards to fill quota requirements as they do in California meaning that, in Austin, hospital workers are competent enough to properly identify medicine lables and administer proper dosages to infants unlike the non-English-speaking illegal street people who work in the hospitals in California.

      That would be Dennis MINUS his 16 year old son, who will continue to live with ex in LA. Now he'll see even less of him.

      And how nice for the kid to hear it was a 'no-brainer' for his dad to move away from him for the sake of two babies and his plastic new wife, who can't tell the difference between LA and Austin. Way to go Dennis! You're a worse dad than I imagined!

      i've lived in austin all of my 32 yrs & i'm hoping he keeps his ass in hollyweird. something you might not know about the quaidster but he & the mrs have been known to do the nasty in the bathroom of a well known restaurant/bar in austin. in fact it had a sign hanging over the door that said the dennis & kimberly quaid memorial bathroom. damn disgusting.
      also it is well known he has a girlfriend here and has for several years. he was seeing her before he married his trophy wife and was still seeing her last year. she lived on my street but moved earlier this year to another part of town.
