John Stamos is having whatever Paula Abdul had...

Live on MSNBC Smackdown

trANNy Coulter was on Hardball last night twirling her bleached-out split ends while spewing her nonsensical, superficial diatribe when out of nowhere, Elizabeth Edwards jumped into the ring and hit her with a double handspring back elbow smash.



Here's more of the interview:

I was so disgusted by her “I’d rather have their civilians die than our civilians die” that I decided to turn the tv off shortly thereafter and watch the rest on my dvr after work today. Then this morning Joe Scarborough (yes, I watch morning joe on msnbc) mentioned the Elizabeth Edwards' call and I felt like Celebrity Hijinx should start their morning off with a little Ann Coulter hate/ass kicking. She leaves the glasses on so we can't see her glowing devil eyes.

Rosie Still Making Waves

It's nearly been a month since RoRo left The View, and she's still be able to both stay in the spotlight and create controversy. I think she's wonderfully open, aggressively argumentative sometimes, but mostly a pretty cool lady.

Well, this time, Rosie is in the news for stirin up some controversy. Rosie went and posted a picture of her daughter, Vivi, on her blog. In this picture, the ADORABLE child is wearing a strap with plastic bullets.

Here is what some of her "fans" had to say about it:

Neelie: That is a horrible picture of Vivi!!

Karlaro: I agree with you on mostly everything. But somehow I found the picture of Vivi disturbing. I don't even let my children play with anything similar to that. It's just a comment. But oh well!!!!!

David: that picture is gross! I am disturbed...leaving your site for a clearing of my mind as to what you are up to!Keep reading for more Rosie readers revolting. Yeah, I have the alliteration in me!

Rosie finally responded today on PEOPLE.com - here's what they had to say:

O'Donnell also addresses the issue in her Ask Ro section. One reader wonders, "Ammunition belts like that aren't sold at toys r us. What would prompt her even [to] want to do that without a little help from you? SAD!"

Replies O'Donnell: "buycostumes.com."

Indeed, a search of the site turns up the $6.99 Bandolier Bullet Belt Deluxe, described as "A great accent for your military or cowboy costume!" One caveat: "These are costume accessory bullets intended for decorative purposes only. (These are NOT real.)"

Questionable Quotes: Germany Doesn't Like Nazis or the Scientology "cult" or Tom Cruise

Defense Ministry spokesman Harald Kammerbauer said the film makers "will not be allowed to film at German military sites if Count Stauffenberg is played by Tom Cruise, who has publicly professed to being a member of the Scientology cult."

"In general, the Bundeswehr (German military) has a special interest in the serious and authentic portrayal of the events of July 20, 1944 and Stauffenberg's person," Kammerbauer said. Stauffenberg had been deeply opposed to the Nazis' treatment of the Jews and planted a briefcase bomb under a table near Hitler in his "Wolf's Lair" headquarters on July 20, 1944. The film, slated for a 2008 release, will be directed by Bryan Singer and co-star Kenneth Branagh. It is called "Valkyrie" after Operation Valkyrie, the plot's codename. In a statement, Wagner said von Stauffenberg is characterized as a "heroic and principled figure." "We believe it (the film) will go a long way toward reminding the world that even within the ranks of the German military, there was real resistance to the Nazi regime," she said. [source]

Mood Music: J-New and Her Band of Favorites


I love that picture. There's something dramatic about the wind in her hair and the elaborate dress she's wearing. She's Joanna Newsom, and she's quite possibly my favorite musician on the planet. That said, I know there are those who will disagree with my enthusiasm for Joanna, and to them I say, go f*ck yourself. I'm too old to care about the music you listen to, so shut up about mine. :-)

Anyhoodle, has everyone reading been to Pitchfork before? For those of you who haven't, please click the hyperlink above and check that shit out. If you're like me and you love learning about new music, you need to head over there now and click around. Pitchfork often interviews really great artists, and they do this thing called Guest List, where each week, they ask one of their favorite artists to fill them in on what they've been up to lately: "which tracks they can't stop spinning, what books they can't put down, and what new bands they've caught on tour."

Last week they featured Joanna Newsom, and here's what she had to say:

Favorite Songs of the Past Year:
Lindsey Buckingham: "Shut Us Down"I love him.
Meg Baird: "The Waltz of the Tennis Players"It's a gorgeous cover of a gorgeous Fraser and Debolt song. I love her voice so much.
Macromantics: "Moments in Movement"The whole record is amazing, but my favorite song is the title track. Either that or "Apple Crumble". My sister and I drove around doing errands yesterday and hollering along to, like, every third word on this album. That's all we could manage 'cos Romy, the singer, goes so fast.
Bill Callahan: "Taken"A gorgeous B-side from the "Diamond Dancer" single.
Alasdair Roberts: "Firewater (Library of Aethers)"Perfect.
Ned Collete: "Blame"
Sinead O'Connor: "Jah Nuh Dead"
Bonnie "Prince" Billy: "Strange Form of Life"

Favorite Older Songs at the Moment:
The Zombies: "This Will Be Our Year"
Harry Nilsson: "Gotta Get Up"Junior Murvin: "Roots Train"

One Needling Blind Vice

Some people love Fake-à-la Ferocity...the rest live to hate her. This do-it-all diva, known to dabble in everything from fab sex to fabber shoes, has her hand in purty much everything these days. Endorsements. Charitable endeavors. Entertainment projects. You name it. And all the wowin' while, Fake-à-la manages to look super-duper delish in the process. Well, she used to, at least.

Lately, F2's once enviable bod has changed for the worse. And her hunky man isn't the only person concerned about the once divinely gifted babe. Nope, now a very few inside Industry types are also concerned 'bout our gal Fakey. See, F.F. has enjoyed a fairly good reputation in the media and rags...until recently. She's known for being accessible, candid and honest. How very friggin' heretical here in lip-cemented T-town! Apparently, Ms. Ef's hiding one helluva secret. And I'm the bitch to fill ya in on what, exactly, it is that has those select few Hollywood movers 'n' shakers so shaking in their Prada wear, regarding Fakey. She's got what's known as...a heroin habit.

Well, she's hardly the first dame in this drug-infested enclave to fall down that slippery alley, right? It's just, uh, so damn rich to find this out, knowing how utterly benevolent our do-goodin' broad happens to be as of late. Gosh, wonder how long before everyone finds out what's really behind Fake-à-la's rapidly withering figure? It'll be "Paris who?" should that happen, trust. It ain't: Jessica Biel, Kelly Ripa or Kiera Knightley It probably is: Angelina Jolie? She used to do heroin in her younger years. She's super skinny. It would be a huge scandal. She used to be sexy. She's into charitable endeavors and entertainment projects. She has a hunky man. Her mother just passed away which is a huge stressor. ...if the needle fits.

Pimp My Baby

Larry Birkhead is shakin' his money maker in OK! Magazine this month. He says: "She also gets what she wants exactly like her mom always did as soon as she'd pout." Fabulous - so she gets a duffel bag full or drugs with her morning bottle? ?! Hopefully Dannilynn doesn't maintain her infantile behavior through adulthood like her mom. If she does, at least we know Daddy will be her drug runner.

RoRo: The Gayest Star is Born

Admit it or not, The View does make for some good television. Honestly, I think it was great to have Rosie O'Donnell on the show because it gave that asswipe Hasselhoof a platform to get her dumb opinion out there. She has every right to prove herself retarded, and before Rosie, I think she was just too shy.

Regardless, everyone's asking who's going to replace Rosie, and some folks are saying that it might be a man. GASP! There are two in the running:

  1. Mario Cantone
  2. Ross Mathews

Now, Mario Cantone is like a friend of the show, and he's funny sometimes, but mostly he's annoying. Just not my cup of tea. This other guy though, Ross Mathews, is fucking hijinx! Check him out. I assume you'll love him or hate him. Either way, he has my vote!

Questionable Quotes: Note to 50 Cent - Next Time It Might Be Beneficial To Attack Someone A Little Less Influential

50 Cent doesn’t like Oprah. OOOOOoohhh….a rapper doesn’t like someone. Shocking. I’m sure Oprah(the richest African American of the 20th century, the most philanthropic African American of all time, the world's only black billionaire for three straight years and according to more than one appraisal, the world's most powerful woman) hasn’t slept since she heard the news that the crack-dealer-turned-bulletproof-vest-wearing/bullet-hole-laden rapper isn’t her #1 fan. First Fiddy accused Oprah of catering to “older white women.” Since that wasn’t particularly hateful, he called her an Oreo. In case you’re haven’t been studying your racial slur handbook recently - it means white on the inside, black on the outside. Now he’s bashing her again with:

"She doesn't ever say anything that anybody from the ghetto is gonna ID with. Take a poll. You go out and find me some young black women who ID with Oprah...She can escape the fact that she's black because she's a billionaire."

Wait a second…”Escape the fact that she’s black?” What is he talking about? Didn’t she just build a school for girls in Africa? Maybe Fiddy should sign up. Poor thing. I think Fiddy's starting to get a little confused in the head. Must be lead poisoning.

YOUR 15 MINUTES: Happy Father’s Day

Carey Whitlow was taking a trip to the store and realized he forgot his cell phone. When he went back into the house, his 3 year-old daughter climbed on top of his truck. He drove for almost 5 miles, unaware his toddler daughter was hanging off the top of his camper. You know his Whitesnake tape was too loud. She eventually let go, fell off the truck and then got up and started running after the truck. A passing motorist saw her fall. Carey still had no idea that the daughter just fell off the top of the moving truck when his wife called saying their daughter was missing. They were reunited in her hospital room. The daughter is doing well. The parents should be fired. [source]

YOUR YouTube FIX: Give Me Your Car Title and I'll Make You Look Rich for A Day

I've been watching Judge Mathis on DVR and ususally I fast-forward through the commercials but there's one I always stop on - CashPoint. CashPoint is a car title loan company. The moral of the commercial is always "have your broke ass take out a loan on your cheap ass car and blow the money." I mean really...you don't go from broke to tuxedo in .2 seconds. This place is probably loan default heaven.

I Feel Old

The other day I ran across this boy on myspace - I used to babysit him when he was like 7. He's graduated, smokes weed, has a girlfriend and dropped out of college. I immeditately called my spa to find out how much it would be to have my forehead botoxed. $240. Not bad. This morning I saw this recent picture of Pee Wee Herman (right). He needs to retire Pee Wee because he's looking like the Playhouse is about to become a Retirement Home. Insert really annoying laugh here. Ok, time to go back to my personal crisis.
Then vs. Now

One Effed-Up Blind Vice

Now, I’ve heard of studios having it in their stars’ contracts (or, at least, agreed to under the proverbial slutty table) for them to hook up off camera, just to drive the rag-addicted ones into a ticket-buying frenzy, but did you ever think such plotting poop-heads would ask their leads to...bust up? Nope, nor did I. I’m such a romantic fool, ya might say, never thought that one would go down. But go dirty-down, it did. Well, at least it’s supposed to, when Virginal Vexed finally goes public with the fact that she’s broken up with her gorgeous and multitalented guy, Bi Cepps. Oh, how damn twisted is this town, already? Don’t answer that. Instead, read on:

Prom Night Naughtiness is expected to pack 'em in, certainly in the teeny-pimply crowd, that’s fer sure. The soon-to-be released flick is—how shall I put this?—a groundbreaking hotbed of entertaining yet importantly cheesy effects and moods. Typical kinda pic that’ll make audiences scream yet feel like they’ve left actually learning something, ya know? Like Courteney Cox taught us in Scream 3 that all us journos are evil, right?

Regardless, Ms. Vee thinks her man is pretty demonic, has for some time now. Could that be why everybody she’s worked with on her past films wants to boil the potty-mouthed witch in oil, with Joan Rivers' excised body parts for proper seasoning? But that’s not the point, which is simply that, conveniently for Virgy, Prom’s distributor requested that V. and her man, Bi, break up shortly after the film’s release, just to ensure that much more mindless lapping from the more gossipy movie fans. This is not a joke. It ain't:Jessica Alba/Cash Warren; Vanessa Minillo/Nick Lachey; Naiomi Watts/Liev Schriber. HMMM...Who's virginial these days, seriously? I don't think Hilary Duff has a boyfriend.

I Vote "OMG is like Lindsay Lohan like ok like" as Britney Spears' New Album Title

I don't know if Britney Spears' website was hacked, she thinks she has a sense of humor or she's still in the midst of a breakdown. The site starts off with a quote "You'll Never See it My Way, Because You're Not Me." Poetic. Then she wants her fans to help name her new album. The options are:

  1. OMG is like Lindsay Lohan like Ok like
  2. What if the Joke is on you
  3. Down boy
  4. Integrity
  5. Dignity
You have to pay to vote. Meanwhile, her mom is talking to the tabs: "Everything is going to be good," Lynne Spears tells the magazine. "Everything is going to be really good. I can see her life picking up and it's just going to hold great things for her." "Britney Jean Spears is the sweetest and the most sensitive and loving of all my children," says Spears. "She's just figuring things out." So Brian and Jamie Lynn are just petulant, invulnerable, hateful little creatures. I mean, they don't even show their private parts in public.

She Did It Again

Britney Spears achieved a lady-part-exposing trifecta this week while hitting the clubs. Such a magical sight.

Xtina Aguilera Preggars!

Honest to Pete, bitches be pregnant all the time. Every time I turn around, someone else has got a bun in the oven, and now rumor has it that Christina Aguilera is preggars. So, is being pregnant the new black?

Celebrity Baby Blog writes, "We have been hesitant to post, especially after a rumor earlier this year was wholeheartedly dismissed by her publicist, but we now hear from two reliable sources that Christina Aguilera, 26, really is pregnant."

Last week, Christina and her husband Jordan Bratman were seen leaving Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, then popped up again at the Maternal Fetal Medicine Association in NYC on Thursday. Christina has also been taking pains to hide her stomach behind a notebook and large scarves and sweaters. But then again, we all know that girl can accessorize to DEATH.

Perhaps even more telling, Christina's usually quick-to-deny rep instead issued a statement saying,

"I cannot confirm."
Another source said,

"Christina is totally pregnant. We've known for weeks. She's about 10 weeks."
If the time line is true, this would give Christina an early January due date.

SHIT! Mr. Wizard Died!

Mood Music: Paris' Jail Theme

Tuesday, June 12, 2007

Couture du Jour: Opposite Game

Question: What's completely hideous and is the opposite of a tankini. Answer: Uma Thurman's bathing suit.
Seriously, what is that thing? I know she has kids and all but Christ, there's no excuse for that...

Paris Hilton Is Not Dead

...you can all sleep well tonight. CNN, ABC and Yahoo were victimized by bogus reports of Paris Hilton's death in jail. She was not stabbed multiple times with a shank. She did not hang herself with a bed sheet. She was not beaten by the warden.

According to Barbara Walters (coincidentally the first person I'd call if I was ever sentenced to jail) Paris is spending her time in jail having a spiritual awakening. She claims she used to "act dumb" and "that act is no longer cute." Seriously? She's serious? She thinks God has given her a new chance by throwing her ass in jail. It took a trip of jail to make God care - forget about the sex tapes, n-words, Exposed websites, herpes rumors, breakups, makeups, breakups, vagina flashings, nip slips, million dollar lawsuits, DUI arrest, car accident, car accident, car accident, drug rumors, etc... I would believe all of this "playing dumb" stuff if she didn't drop out of high school to dance on tables wearing nothing but a pair of underwear and a cut off shirt that said "Got Blow." Seriously, she's a 26 year-old dropout - that's one loooooong act and unfortunately I have to stay until the end of the play. I have no choice really.

While Paris is finding "god" (which is probably just prison slang for coke), her parents are supposedly trying to earn some $$$ by shopping the idea of a "Get Out Of Jail Party" for Paris
to the top Las Vegas clubs, including Pure, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and the Palms. A source told PageSix and Paris' dad was originally asking for a $50,000 cash fee to be paid, as well as accommodations and flights. Pure and Hard Rock said 'no' flat out, but George Maloof, who owns the Palms, didn't say yes or no. He happens to be friends with Paris. Nothing says "spiritual awakening after a DUI" like a party in Vegas...execpt maybe Lindsay Lohan leaving rehab to celebrate her 21st birthday in Vegas. Or maybe this all just sounds like "what a bunch of crackheads." [source]

Celebrity Clone: Superhero vs. Villain

Maupin's Masterpiece

Those who don't read Armistead Maupin may have no idea who Michael Tolliver is, but those who do may be thrilled that a new story in the saga of "Mouse" has arrived on bookstore shelves.

The celebrated Tales of the City author is back with another volume called Michael Tolliver Lives.

Maupin told the San Francisco Chronicle, which originally serialized the Tales series beginning way back in 1976, that he was initially scared of his approach: "I was nervous that people following the series might be thrown off by a first-person novel that has all the characters treated equally."

He says that the main themes of the book deal with getting older:

"I wanted to illuminate the process of growing older as a gay man, and make it easier for people who think life is over. Gay men who are growing old are incredibly lucky to be here....if I'd known that 63 was going to feel this good, I would have been a lot more cheerful along the way. Age is the last closet you come out of in the gay world. There are such gloomy visions of gay men aging. But if you worship beauty above all else, if you worship sex above all else, you're in trouble. If you're not working on your heart every second, you are going to have a very sad old age."

Maupin lives with his partner Christopher Turner who is 27 years his junior. The age difference is a fact that doesn't phase Maupin in the least, he told afterElton last August:

"I think [aging is] the central issue of our generation. There are a lot of people out there who are trying to figure out how to be good old gay people — how to do it well, how to be the best you can for your age. In my case that has to do with trying to be the best version of 62 I can imagine. Not to try and recreate something I felt I had 30 years ago. Interestingly enough, my partner, Christopher, runs a personals website for men over 40. I actually met him on the site. I saw this handsome 34-year-old there that made my heart beat faster. I bumped into him in the street a few months later and asked him for a date."

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom declared Tuesday "Michael Tolliver Day" in San Francisco.

Tales of the City may be one of the best stories ever written. If you don't know, GET TO THE LIBRARY AND READ IT. Changes lives.

Lindsay Lohan's Bodyguard Tells All - Quits Job After Coked-Up Lindsay Attacks Gun-Wielding Beverly Hills Drug Dealer – Apparently Job too Dangerous

The crazed world of cokehead Lindsay Lohan is blown wide open by the burly bodyguard who quit looking after her... because it was too DANGEROUS. Lee Weaver has told of his two years of hell with the stroppy starlet as the News of the World reveals yet more worrying pictures of Lindsay — this time wasted in her squalid bedroom. Weaver, 48, tells how the 20-year-old Mean Girls star:

  • ATTACKED a gun-wielding cocaine dealer for ripping her off.
  • SNORTED line after line with Simple Life star Nicole Richie in a TEN-HOUR binge.
  • SLASHED her wrists with knives, sobbing that she "didn't belong on this planet".
  • ENJOYED frenzied lesbian romps with scores of girls she picked up at parties — and even made a play for chart star Mariah Carey.
  • Here's the fun story:
  • "I have looked after some of the wildest stars in Hollywood — but never anyone as out of control as Lindsay is," says Lee, 48. "She had a total death wish and took more drugs and drank more than anyone I've met. "I lost count of the times I thought she was overdosing and had to carry her out of parties. Every morning I'd breathe a sigh of relief she was still alive." Lee spoke out after seeing our pictures of drunken Lindsay last week, pretending to cut a pal's throat with a kitchen knife. But any weapon — even a gun — doesn't faze her if she's gagging for cocaine. "In April she asked me to take her to her dealer in Beverly Hills. I knew if I refused she'd go alone — so I took her.

    "He was waiting for her in some bushes. Suddenly she started screaming and punching him for selling her short. "He pulled a gun. I got out and he threatened to shoot me unless I got her to back off — but she kept hitting him. Luckily he got distracted and I punched him down. "I dragged Lindsay into the car and drove off but she was screaming at me to go back. It was like Pulp Fiction. I knew then she was just too dangerous to be around." Lee reveals how he often drove Lindsay to join her pal Nicole Richie, 24, for cocaine binges. "Nobody was as wild as Lindsay," he says. "But Nicole came close. Sometimes Paris Hilton would be there but the most I saw her do was drink and strip.

    "One night Lindsay and Nicole were making trip after trip to the bathroom — she wouldn't snort in front of me because she knew I'd get mad. "But the more wasted they got the less she cared. In the end they carried in a mirror from the bedroom, laid it on the coffee table and emptied a mountain of coke onto it. They went at the stuff with straws, hoovering it all up then piling more on. "I tried to tell Lindsay to stop but she just told me it was cool. After ten hours I'd had enough and threatened to throw the mirror out of the window. I had to carry her out to the car." But that was no surprise — Lee had been carrying her home since first night he began working for her. His first job was to take her to a party in Beverly Hills. "She'd been snorting all night," he recalls. "As soon as they walked into the party she was snorting more. She got on the coffee table and danced, flinging her dress above her head, her eyes rolling about all over the place. "I told the guy providing the drugs to stop and he just said, ‘No way, Lindsay will go berserk'. Then she started screaming at people and swinging her fists around at anyone near her. "At the start of the night she seemed such a fun-loving, angelic girl but under the influence of drugs she was psychotic. It was 10.30am the next day by the time I carried her to bed."

    And when she wasn't snorting coke, she was snogging GIRLS. "She used boys for drugs and girls for thrills," says Lee. "I lost count of the women she took back to her hotel room from clubs. "I even saw her try to grope Mariah Carey's bottom and boobs one night as they danced. One time I went to look for her in a club bathroom and found her in the corner French-kissing a girl." When she wasn't snogging them she was just as likely to attack them. One night, paranoid Lindsay went for blonde actress Jessica Simpson in a club. Lee says: "Jessica was sat with her pals and Lindsay became convinced she was shooting her dirty looks. "She jumped over the table and dived at Jessica pulling her hair out. I had to pull her off her."

    As Lindsay spiralled more and more out of control she started to self-harm, cutting her wrists with a knife. "One night I looked at her hands and wrists and noticed they had bright red wounds all over them," says Lee. "She tried to tell me she had fallen but when I looked her in the eyes and demanded to know the truth she just broke down. "She told me, ‘I don't belong on this planet any more'. She said she cut herself because she did not think life was worth living. "The pictures in your paper of her fooling with knives show how disturbing her behavior is." So do today's pictures taken of her partying in her messy booze-littered room, half-dressed, looking painfully thin and spaced out. They emerge just weeks after Lindsay went into rehab for the second time in six months after crashing her Mercedes into a tree.

    Lee — who earned £1,500 a week as her bodyguard — is now writing his memoirs about the years he spent minding stars, including Kim Basinger, Brad Pitt, Eddie Murphy, Pamela Anderson, Jamie Foxx and Hollywood's most infamous drug addict Robert Downey Jr. But the minder, who also tells of his adventures on his website leetweaver.com, says Lindsay was the biggest handful of all of them. "I'd never even heard of her when I was asked to do the job. She was only 18 but guarding her was a nightmare and the stress it put me under was unbearable. "I would pray every night she wouldn't kill herself on my watch. "I desperately hope she stops doing drugs but I fear that will only happen when either she kills someone else with her reckless ways — or kills herself."

    What a mess.

    YOUR 15 MINUTES: Ms. Butts the Toilet Paper Caper

    "They said they seem to go through a lot of toilet paper at the courthouse," said Police Chief Lon Walker. Police said one of the employees caught Suzanne Marie Butts, of Marshalltown, Iowa, taking the two-ply from the women's bathroom and called police. The courthouse parking lot attendant said he knew about toilet paper going missing. "I've heard they call it the toilet paper caper," said parking lot attendant Gene Seim. Police said they caught up with Butts outside the courthouse Friday, and she was hiding the toilet paper in her shirt. Butts told NewsChannel 8 that it was the first time she had stolen toilet paper and that her attorney said not talk. The courthouse workers told police they suspected something was up. "She's facing three years incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper," Walker said. "Normally, that would be a simple misdemeanor," Walker said. Police said that on Friday, Butts was arrested on charges of stealing $30 from a family member.That makes four theft charges against her. A judge will decide what punishment fits this crime.

    Quote It!

    Questionable Quotes: That Giant Thing With Her Face

    Holly and Hef are sooooo in love. It was love at first sight. Well, not really according to a new (rather scathing) article in Elle Magazine:Hefner alludes in passing to the fact that Holly, who wasn't his instant type the way Kendra was, set her sights on him rather than the reverse: "She found me and she loved me." He goes on to explain that she doesn't look the same as when he first met her, that she "became beautiful," helped by "a little thing she had done to her nose."

    You don't say. She has to be pissed...I bet pillows and silk pajamas (and maybe a fist) were flying at the mansion. I think he was being nice. I would've said "she became better looking after Ty Pennington and his Extreme Team came in and remodeled her whole face." Great, now I have a Backstreet Boys song stuck in my head. Anyway, according to PageSix, Hef praised the author of the article.

    YOUR 15 MINUTES: MySpace and Murder

    Eeeeeeeveryone has a MySpace these days, darling, everyone. Last year, someone uncovered the creepy MySpace profile of Tom Stephens aka "The Bishop", a suspect in the murders of five women in England. Now someone has uncovered the possible MySpace of Edwin Hall, the 26 year-old man accused of kidnapping 18-year-old Kelsey Smith at a Target and killing her. Only the name "Jack," which Hall is known by to neighbors, is used on the MySpace page, and the picture posted strongly resembles the 26-year-old who is married with a 4 year-old son. The person on the MySpace page also uses the same age and location as Hall, and a person with the same name as his wife, Aletha, has a page linked to "Jack's." ...and apparently he likes to eat small children. Both profiles have been deleted. Alas, I have the text from his profile: Leave it to the good, old internet - someone has copies of his site here , his wife's site here and a blog here. “Sweet Troubled Soul”

    Another interesting development with this case is that another young girl, 17 year old Kara Kopetsky, went missing in early May only about 6 miles from where Kelsey's body was found. Im not sure if we didn't hear about it because she's not All-American enough or something... At this time, some police are saying the events are unrelated and some police are saying they're investigating the possible connections. On May 4th, Kopetesky went missing. "There's been no contact she hasn't called there's been no bank activity," her mother, Rhonda Beckford said. The Beckford's are following Kelsey's case, hoping it will lead to answers in Kopetsky's investigation. "It's almost one month to the day that Kara came up missing that Kelsey came up missing," her stepfather James Beckford said. "They said it was abnormal for that to happen. They said she has no reason to leave or runaway. Kara had no reason to leave or runaway," Rhonda Beckford said. When her mother walked into Kara's bedroom, nothing was missing."Her dresser is full," Rhonda Beckford said Thursday as she opened one of her daughter's dresser drawers. None of her clothes are gone, and her iPod and phone charger are on a bedroom table, something the 17-year-old's mother said Kara would never leave behind. "If this was planned, she would have taken clothes and she didn't," Beckford said while holding a missing poster of her daughter. "If she had to buy clothes, she would have had to use her debit card, and she didn't." [source]

    Again, this is a friendly PSA from CH to think about the potential ramifications of MySpace. Your MySpace could be used against/for you if you're a victim/suspect/criminal. It can be used to paint whatever kind of picture the press wants to paint. ...aaaaaaaaaaand your friends could be people you really don't want to be friends with...like accused killers and stuff. Really kids, pay attention..I say this because I love our readers, not because I'm turning into a paranoid old lady! I'm not. Really. I promise.

    Anorexia Chronicles: A Vision of Unhealth

    I didn't watch American Idol this season...actually I never watched American Idol...but the moral of the story is that I managed to completely, totally ignore it this season. I didn't even know the name of one contestant. Anyway, Meme Roth - president of National Action Against Obesity went on Fox News like a week or two ago and called Jordin, the winner, obese. I heard about this a week or two ago (I don't watch Fox News) and didn't care until I actually saw Jordin. She's like seriously 6 feet tall and not fat. Bitch needs to shut up because you know Jordin is going to pull a Carrie Underwood and lose 84 pounds in two months. Way to make a bunch of normal teenage girls have image problems. The National Action Against Anorexia is going to be working overtime.

    "When I look at Jordin I see diabetes, I see heart disease, I see high cholesterol. [...] That's what's so sad about this - she is not the vision of health - she is the vision of 'unhealth'". UNHEALTH - brilliant, really. Mariah Carey should write a song about that.
