Say hello to Bachelor Number One.

Convicted serial killer won on 'Dating Game'

This story is disturbing in so many ways, from the fact that this guy had already raped an 8 yr old 10 years earlier, to the creepy introduction on the show - "Bachelor No. 1 is a successful photographer who got his start when his father found him in the dark room at the age of 13, fully developed" - to the fellow contestant who has somehow made this story all about him.

Weird, weird, weird.

Psychic Power Station?

OK, when the video reaches about :45, check out the background behind John Taylor.



Whoa! Smoke-trailing airplanes flying around the World Trade Center? Weird! I saw this on VH1 Classic this morning and I couldn't believe it. Not only is it eerily prescient - I can't figure out what it has to do with the song!

I also noticed that John Taylor is SO wasted in this video. I think that wall is holding him up.

"I FAHT in your general direction!!

Man charged after allegedly passing gas toward cop:

As Patrolman T.E. Parsons prepared the machine, Cruz scooted his chair toward Parsons, lifted his leg and "passed gas loudly," the complaint said.

Cruz, according to complaint, then fanned the gas toward the officer.

"The gas was very odorous and created contact of an insulting or provoking nature with Patrolman Parsons," the complaint alleged.

If I were Samuel L. Jackson, I'd go in for a m*therf*ckin' checkup, ASAP.

He, Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes are all in the new movie Soul Men. He should also look both ways before he crosses the road. And no airplane rides for a while, either.

On the subject, here's an interesting article about the late Mr. Hayes and how the fact that he was a Scientologist may have been connected to his death. Tenuous, but still sort of creepy.

Oo, and I just realized something else weird - SLJ played Shaft in the remake, right?

I was really sad to hear about Bernie Mac. I liked him. When you get the chance, watch this while the kids aren't around:



He had impeccable timing.

Alright, I admit it, that's funny.

The Claby Cometh!

Sidenote: As if this story couldn't be anymore reproductively confusing, the mother of the Clayby is named Jaymes! Excellent!

When's the last time someone checked on Michael Caine?

Heath Ledger ODs, Christian Bale is brought up on assault charges by his supposedly greedy mother and sister, and now this:

Morgan Freeman In Serious Car Wreck

The Curse of the Dark Knight, perhaps?

I'm just sayin'.

And I was serious about Micheal Caine. Has anyone checked on him?

More families found dead.

What is going on? Is it my imagination or is the murder of an entire family becoming a growing trend? I just went to CNN and found these two headlines:

Mom, 4 kids found dead in Iowa home

Four Found Dead in NC Condo

Doesn't it seem as though there's a new story like this almost every day?

Weekend at Bernies III: The Golden Years

Corpse Wheeled to Check-Cashing Store Leads to 2 Arrests: "Their sidewalk procession had already attracted the stares of passers-by who were startled by the sight of the body flopping from side to side as the two men tried to prop it up, the police said. The late Mr. Cintron was dressed in a faded black T-shirt and blue-and-white sneakers. His pants were pulled up part of the way, and his midsection was covered by a jacket, the police said. While the two men were inside the check-cashing office, a small crowd had gathered around the chair. A detective, Travis Rapp, eating a late lunch at a nearby Empanada Mama saw the crowd and notified the Midtown North station house."

Kenya's sex trade has a new customer.

Older white women:

Emerging alongside this black market trade -- and obvious in the bars and on the sand once the sun goes down -- are thousands of elderly white women hoping for romantic, and legal, encounters with much younger Kenyan men.

They go dining at fine restaurants, then dancing, and back to expensive hotel rooms overlooking the coast.

"One type of sex tourist attracted the other," said one manager at a shorefront bar on Mombasa's Bamburi beach.

"Old white guys have always come for the younger girls and boys, preying on their poverty ... But these old women followed ... they never push the legal age limits, they seem happy just doing what is sneered at in their countries."
