Simple Life 4? CANCELLED! America is getting smarter! But are Americans becoming ruder? http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/5098058/detail.html?rss=bos&psp=news


Yesterday, the Post ran a story about a man suing a priest for making him gay (by repeatedly raping him). Today, a woman is suing a priest for making her a mute (by raping her repeatedly). I can't wait for tomorrow's paper.


IT CAN FINALLY BE TOLD! So. Boy George called the cops to report a burglary, right? This we knew. But here's the rest of the story: he hired a male prostitute, but when the manwhore arrived, he demanded "all the money in the house." Boy said that he would call the cops. Himbo said, "go ahead and you'll go to jail." Apparently, Boy was high and called the cops. The prostiman left and the cops arrived to find a coked-up rambling has-been. Then they saw the coke on his desk. Boy has a hearing on December 19th hearing in NYC, but he's in London in the meantime. Keep an eye out for a suicide prior to the 19th. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm just saying.


"Rich" does not mean intelligent (especially in Sommer's case). Gregory Olsen is the third "civilian" to go to outer space. It only cost him $20,000,000. He says it was worth every penny. Sadly, Greggy misplaced his camera somewhere on the space station. Oops.


FUCKSHITCOCKPUSSYASSHOLE! Scientists have discovered a gene that helps cause Tourette's! Can a cure be far off? Probably!


A bowl of 4,000-year-old noodles has been discovered at an archaelogical dig in Western China. I bet it smelled wonderful.


Phil Spector is now saying that the REASON he told cops he shot and killed Lana Clarkson is that he was on seven different prescription drugs! Otherwise, he would have lied! Could Phil face the first actual CONVICTION of a celebrity? Is that even possible in California?


Have the loveliest of weekends, ever'buddy!

Michael Chertoff (Homeland Security Department boss) told Congress that he will instate a zero-tolerance policy for ALL illegal immigants in the US. This will replace the current policy of catch and release. I like when Mexicans are discussed as if they were fish.


The MTA pulls a W! George Bush "won" his first election by giving everyone $300. The MTA is hoping New Yorkers will be similarly stupid by offering holiday discounts. They're hoping we'll forget that they have hundreds of millions of dollars in surplus but STILL want to raise fares (AGAIN). They're hoping we'll forget that the subway has not become safer in the last 4 years. I, on the other hand, am hoping that everyone at the MTA gets diarrhea.


Sticky Fingaz? Not really. You know how sometimes you check out of a hotel and you realize you left your toothbrush in the bathroom? Well, Sticky Fingaz (nee Kirk Jones) left his 9 mm handgun on the floor of his hotel room when he checked out. Oh, Sticky. Will you ever win?


Joe Torre will return as manager of the Yankees next year. Which we all kind of expected for a number of reasons. And that number is 13,100,000.


Anyone that says that they still remain unsure as to what Harriet Miers would do on the Supreme Court is either delusional or severely retarded. Or both.


Irvin Castillo, a 14-year-old with a very silly name, was punched in the face by a 51-year-old man. The man punched him in the Validus Prep cafeteria. The man who punched him was a math teacher there named David Cody. David punched Irvin after Irvin sprayed David in the face with water. Irvin's parents are pressing charges. David is in deep shit.


Did Nick and Jessica get divorced? Who cares?


The Post reports that The Rev. James Pilsner hanged himself on Monday. But shouldn't it have reported that he hung himself? Anybody know for sure?


China claims to have invented a hangover-less vodka. It's called Han. They're so proud of their breakthrough that they invaded Japan today! http://www.sciencedaily.com/upi/?feed=TopNews&article=UPI-1-20051019-04182900-bc-japan-fakeyahoo.xml


Melanie Griffith is being sought to replace Christina Appelgate in Sweet Charity. That's just wrong for so many reasons.


Ashton Kutcher has sold Fox a new sitcom called 30 Year Old Grandpa. Yes, it is based in part on his hilarious marriage to an old woman. And based on how much I enjoy Punk'd, That 70's Show and the thing he did with the nerds and models, I expect to not watch this one either.


David Copperfield (the illusionist, not the Dickens novel) plans to impregnate a woman onstage... WITHOUT TOUCHING HER! "Naturally, it will be without sex. Everyone will be happy about it." What the fuck does that mean? Everyone will be happy about it? Why? Oh, David Copperfield. Why can't you make you disappear?


Verbatim from the Post: Some folks in "[American] Idol" Fantasia Barrino's hometown want to take down her picture from the local high school after she claimed in her new book that she went through the system but never learned to read. Well, then, how'd she write the book? Check. And. Mate.


In closing, dear readers, if anyone knows of any decent employment opportunities in the greater Manhattan area, please let me know. I am not long for this desk.


Happy New Comics Day, ever'buddy!

The Post referred to Saddam Hussein as the bitcher of Baghdad today. That made me laugh.


Despite numerous denials, Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn ARE an item! Phew!


The Soup Nazi plans to open 1,000 soup shops around the world in the next 5-7 years. Good luck with that, Al.


Andy Dick was booed off the stage at a Los Angeles benefit for Hurrican Katrina victims on Monday. Good luck with that, Andy.


Rumor is that the reason Britney Spears removed her bra from eBay was that she figured she could make more money selling it without them. Good luck with that, Britney.


Madonna's new documentary, I Am Going To Tell You A Secret, premieres tomorrow night at 10 on MTV. I wonder if they left in the part where she says that "most priests are gay."


Nice work if you can get it. The mother of the 14-year-old who was punched in the face by a math teacher was quoted as saying, "If he has no patience, he shouldn't be teaching. Nobody has a right to lay a hand on my son. That's my job." Sweet. What does punching your son in the face pay? And, by the by, the kid didn't spray the teacher with water. It was perfume.


Fowl play! The star of Ducktastic has been stolen! Two days before opening night, the star of a new London stage production (Daphne, a duck that performs tricks and bows to the audience) was ducknapped. I guess if Daphne is REALLY talented, she'll make her way back to the theater on her own.


And, finally, here are some horror movies being remade in the near future:

Day of the Dead
When A Stranger Calls
Crawlspace
The Blob
Piranha (I wish I was kidding)
The Crazies
The Hills Have Eyes
Evil Dead
Phantasm (I REALLY wish I was kidding)
The Wicker Man
Black Christmas
The Hitcher (what the fuck?)

Happy Thursday, all!

My 1991 brawl with a transvestite is still the classic. He was a big guy, so once I got him down, I kept decking him. Then I saw the cops and thought, 'Hmm... Danny Partridge beating the shit out of a transvestite hooker. I should probably run.' I listened to my own high-speed pursuit on the stereo of my car after beating the shit out of a transvestite prostitute. That's bitchin'.

Danny Bonaduce
(omitting the part where he paid the transvestite prostitute to suck his dick and then threw him out of his moving car)*

Why I Hate the Coca-Cola Company
by Jed Resnik

1 in 12 wins a free Coke!

I don't drink soda often (when I do, it's a Diet Coke, though). And yet I have won 5 "free Cokes" in the last 2 months. However, the free Coke that you win is of the 1-liter variety.

Guess what size Coca-Cola products are no longer stocked by most supermarkets.

If anyone knows of a bodega on the UWS that carries 1-liter Diet Cokes, feel free to PM me.

Also, fuck you, Coca-Cola.

Also, go see Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Shane Black has returned better than ever. Fun fun fun.

I am now unemployed.

And it looks like I'll have to go to court to get my last paycheck.

It's a good thing I believe in karma.

On the plus side, I can once again watch Maury to my heart's content.

The time has come to start selling my comics and trades. Some I will never get rid of, but most I will.

If there is anything you're looking for, drop me a PM. I give good discount.

Cable channel has my script. Now... I wait.

Also, my mother forwarded me this. I think it's neat. Like the fact that Abe Lincoln's secretary's last name was Kennedy and Jack Kennedy's secretary's last name was Lincoln and both Presidents were shot at President Ford's Theater.

Enjoy.

Dear Black Men,

If you have cheated on your obese wife with more than 30 different women in the last few months, do not, repeat, DO NOT go on Maury and take a lie detector test. Because no matter how hard you wave your hands dismissively, you WILL be revealed on national television as an adulterer.

Also, seriously. Stop talking in movie theaters.

Love,
Whitey McYid

Well, they DID hire a second writer, but it wasn't me. Apparently, the guy they did hire was internal and had a lot of production experience.

But my writing samples scored high marks and with many pilots up for grabs there in the next few weeks, I just might get something out of this in the near future.

Or I just might start drinking heavily.

Either way, I win.

There will be a Blade TV show based on the popular film trilogy. But Wesley Snipes won't be Blade. That honor has fallen to the former front man of Onyx, Kirk "Sticky" Jones. Bacdafucup, vampires!

I found out the other day that one of my favorite Marvel B-villains has the same "real" name as an old friend of mine. The Constrictor's alias is Frank Payne. When I moved to Chicago in 1996, I met Frank at Second City's Business Theater. We were both writers there and when he heard I was new in town, he insisted on taking me out to lunch. He always had a smile on his face and his humor and joy was infectious. A few months ago, there was an ad in a magazine for a show Frank hosts on the Discovery Channel (I forget the name- it was about things that are very big). If anyone deserves success, it's Frank. Both of them (where have you gone, Serpent Society?).

Warner Brothers may have to digitally shrink Superman's penis. Apparently, the actor playing him has a huge (distracting) cock. I wonder if that's why Bryan Singer wanted to cast him. Hmmm. After all, Pyro was cast in the X-movies after sharing a hot tub with the director. True story.

Those who know Frank Payne know that he's... husky. Thinking about him made me think of my other... husky friend in Chicago, Jim Toth. I met him in Wheaton- we were both voice actors for the Left Behind Audiobooks (yes, THAT Left Behind). Another jolly guy that always had a joke for me (and everyone else in the vicinity). I convinced him to take classes at IO where I believe he is still performing. But the really amazing thing is that Jim won some Dr. Phil contest. He lost over 100 pounds, they gave him a car and an agent...

So to all husky people in Chicago (the Illinois state bird is the fat mustachioed Polack), know that there is hope. And to us fatties in NYC... um... we stay warmer than thin people in winter?

Sigh.

The holidays are always depressing for me, but, as I pack my bags to spend a week in the City of Angels, I know in my heart that I have plenty to be grateful (greatful? I swear I'll look this up one day) for. To my friends, family and contemporaries, thank you for all the support you've shown me over the years (recently in pertickaler).

And Sam? Lazarus Churchyard is decent (love the art) but I'd tackle Transmet in full before trying it. Scars is also great Ellis stuff. And his Strange Kiss/Killings stories. And his Hellblazer stuff. Then Lazarus.

Happy Holidays, ever'buddy!

Addendum: Kirk Jones' nickname is not "Sticky" but rather "Sticky Fingaz."

Thanks to the blackest white guy I know (Nicky Mougaz) for the heads up.

And now I go on vacation.

P.S.- The Magnet is fucking terrific.

A cabbie is suing Paris Hilton for pissing herself in his cab.

Seriously.

And he claims to have her pee (nee DNA) as proof.

The Post has started referring to her as a celebutard.

Nice.

Also, I finally figured out why my vacuum cleaner has been making that noise. I dismantled it today and pulled out a dreadlock that Busta Rhymes would find ostentatious.

Also, Harvey Danger is exactly the kind of music I enjoy.

Munich is a great film (though it could have lost 30 minutes).

Syriana is a great film (though watching The Corporation the night before helped immensely).

Wedding Crashers is insanely mediocre. THAT's what makes twice the box office of The 40-Year-Old Virgin? Sigh.

Oh! Showtime has announced that they are in talks to pick up Arrested Development. The bad news? Nothing is final yet because Mitchell Hurwitz might not stay on board. He says it's because of the emotional roller coaster the last 3 seasons have been. Translation: I want more money.

Fucking give it to him, Showtime.

Tere's been in Florida for the last 2 days. She gets back tomorrow. I've missed her (yes, I am extremely gay). A bunch of us are going out for her birthday tomorrow night. That'll be nice.

Now, I am faced with a dilemma. Do I finally watch Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things? Or Deathdream? Or Star Wait? Or the Beulah documentary A Good Band Is Easy To Kill? I'm not used to being able to watch TV that doesn't start with "In the criminal justice system..."

:)
