Newsgasm: Give Me Time to Realize My Crime Edition - 
by m_ruv
- Erstwhile singer Boy George, now going by the name "Obese Pederast George," called police to his Manhattan apartment Friday to report that his home had been burglarized. But 1) the apartment had not been robbed, and 2) Man George was promptly arrested for having a bag of nose candy lying in plain sight. Incidentally, Rosie "Bus Sister" O'Donnell was found in the next room, unconscious in vat of marshmallows, clothed only in a burlap bra. [E! online]
- As sg-dub noted in the recap, ratings for Apprentice: Martha Stewart oddly went up last week, even as NBC put the show up against Lost. Meanwhile, producer Mark Burnett has his panties in a bunch because he feels NBC is underpromoting the show. [E! online]
- Madonna "Esther" Ciccone has royally pissed off the chosen people with all her "knowledge" of the Kaballah. The controversy is swirling around that scene in her new video where Jackie Mason and Fran Drescher tie her up in the bondage parlor with red string. [AP]
- Gawker reported that an online betting site cancelled all wagers on the Jessica Simpson & Nick Lachey will-they-or-won't-they question because of a near-unanimous flood of "divorce" bets placed from the couple's respective hometowns. Don't you love pleasant surprises on a Monday? [Gawker]
- And as for you, Ashlee, I know you allegedly "sang" "for real" this weekend on SNL. But honey, things like changing your hair color and turning on the microphone don't mask the "no-talent-ass-clown" gene. [AP]

This ain't right. First you show me that disgusting image of OP George, then you create the visual image of BusRosie in a burlap bra. That just isn't nice...

I saw her singing on SNL and I'm sorry, she was still lip synching. And she looked horrible. Why does Lorne Michaels allow these no talent losers on? He should pick cutting edge avant garde bands.
Oh, adn the show still sucks ass.

Could the increase in ratings for Martha have to do with Lost being pre-empted in Boston & Chicago for the Sox vs the Sox series? I am a loyal Lost fan but found myself flipping over to Martha so I didn't have to watch the Red Sox get killed!

The reason Martha's ratings went up last week is because now the show does not conflict with America's Next Top Model so it doesn't compete for the gay demographic.

Could you explain why you called Boy George a pederast? Obviously Boy George is gay but you used a word that labels him as a child molester. Not to be a stick in the mud (I laughed heartily at the O'Donnell jab) but that's a pretty serious word that shouldn't be tossed around lightly.

Bdos88, you're right - indeed too harsh a word, and apologies for any offense. But it has such a nice ring to it. OPG, it's like the new OPP.

well i've see george o'dowd fondle many boys on tuesday nights at bowery bar...and you KNOW some of those boys arent quite 18, so i believe m_ruv was correct in his usage of pederast.

Possibly the scariest picture that I've ever seen in my life...
