He later tweeted, "I don't blame Howard. Crystal shouldn't have been booked on the show at this sensitive time." Silly Hef, how else is she going to cash in on her 15 minutes?
Speaking of creepy old porn peddlers, recent Philly visitor Larry Flynt offered Casey Anthony $500,000 to spread in a spread for his magazine Hustler. Flynt told CNN "You've got men who say, 'Hey, I want to see her in her birthday suit.' There may be some sick individuals . . . but that's what life is all about."
Soulja Boy to man
For his 21st birthday, rapper
Soulja Boy gifted himself with a private jet that cost an estimated $55 million. The Gulfstream G5 jet is only $35 million, but Mr. Boy is also shelling out $20 million for upgrades including flat-screen TVs, four bars, Italian leather seats and a swank bathroom.
Have the Dems and Republicans thought about hitting up Soulja Boy to solve this whole debt-ceiling mess?
TATTBITS
Singer
Meat Loaf collapsed onstage during a concert in Pittsburgh on Thursday night. "I f---ing fainted," Loaf said, to the audience. "I have asthma . . . I can't breathe . . . and then . . . oh wait, I forgot . . . I got poked by a pin and bled half to death . . . and then I got slapped in the face and my tooth is loose."
We don't know what that means, either.
Jonathan May-Bowles, perhaps better known as Johnnie Marbles, pleaded guilty to assault for throwing at pie at Rupert Murdoch earlier this month while the News International CEO testified before Parliament in the News of the World phone- hacking scandal. In a piece for the Guardian, which doggedly pursued the NoTW case, May-Bowles/Marbles wrote, "Simply put, I did it for all the people who couldn't."
May-Bowles will be sentenced on Tuesday.
Aberdeen, Wash., hometown of deceased Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain, has decided not to name a bridge after the grunge hero, despite recommendations by the city's parks department because many city council members were worried it would glorify Cobain's drug use and suicide. Instead, they've decided to name a strip of land on the Wishkah River after the late singer. A posthumous Nirvana live album, "From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah," commemorated the river.
So keep that in mind, folks. Land strips don't glorify drug use and suicide. Bridges, on the other hand, do.
