model071306m_ruv is on Newsgasm holiday this summer; so in the meantime, I’ll be filling in. To the news!

  • A Project Runway model is in serious condition after being struck by a bus. Driving that bus? Jade. [New York Daily News (mild Runway spoilers, beware)]
  • Comedy Central will finally be re-airing the notorious South Park Scientology episode, “Trapped in the Closet,” on July 19th. Sadly, this is probably just a crafty way to distract us from the fact that the network just ordered a third season of Mind of Mencia. It’s kind of like when the doctor gives you a lollipop and then rips off the Band-Aid. [AP, Reuters]
  • Fox has launched a new PSA featuring Jack Bauer a.k.a. Kiefer Sutherland talking about the perils of MySpace. In the spot, he captures a pedophile, tortures him with lamp wires, shoots him in the kneecap, and then leaves a flashing, sparkling comment saying, “Thanks for the add!” [Gawker]
  • Contrary to what esteemed news purveyor In Touch magazine reports, Star Jones will not be joining Fox News. However, we do hear she’s up for a cushy spot at the Old Country Buffet. [Page Six]
  • As for news that no one really cares about, Nick and Aaron Carter got into a random brawl that was totally not for the cameras on their new reality show. Apparently the fight broke out when the incestuous homoerotic tension became just too unbearable. [People]

    That Nick and Aaron Carter story is useless without pictures…

    My dog took a crap today. Perhaps Comedy Central would be interested in signing it to do a show. “Mind of Sassy’s Crap” sounds HYSTERICAL!

    “She was dragged underneath the bus,” her agent, Avenue Models’ Javier Hernandez, told us yesterday. “She fractured her skull and her eye socket and was in critical condition for three days. Now she has been in intensive care for a month.”

    Her first words upon waking up, Hernandez tells us, were: “Am I still on ‘Project Runway’?”

    So who was the one who said “No honey, you fractured your eye socket”?

    No m-ruv for the entire summer?! Is this his punishment for failing to re-cap the Tony Awards this year?

    Exactly. I’ve been tied up in Carol Channing’s dungeon since the second week in June. Help!!

    m-ruv, if we don’t see an improved tan beneath those pixels when you return, you’re in BIG trouble.

    is getting hit by a bus better than walking out of a moving bus?
