DOES DOLLY PARTON OWE HER LOOKS TO JESUS?
By Fayner | April 3, 2008
I recall a joke from years ago back when I was just a young kid that went something like this: What do you call the liquid on Dolly Parton’s chest? Mountain Dew.
Yeah, I know, it’s quite lame, but I didn’t make it up. Someone else should be punished for it and not me.
Anyway, Dolly was on American Idol last night singing her new song, Jesus and Gravity. The title, she says, refers to her belief that Jesus brings her up and gravity holds her down.
But have you seen Dolly Parton lately? The legendary singer is in her 60s and looks fucking awesome! Dez and I both agreed that if given the chance we’d have anal sex with Dolly Parton.
But now I must ask: Is it really Jesus that is lifting Dolly Parton up?
Or is it a true savior, some hot-shot plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills capable of turning an old red neck singer into a wrinkle-free, (still) awesome-boobed blonde bombshell?
I’d go with the latter.
Dolly should change the name of the song to Plastic Surgeon and Gravity. That would make better sense.

TAYLOR RAIN RECOGNIZED!
By Fayner | April 2, 2008
Taylor, Dez and I went down to Animal Control to get the pit bulls licensed, and on the way home stopped at that awesome Italian place Cavaretta’s for lunch. We ordered and then waited the ten plus minutes it takes to make a sandwich. Finally, out helper came up to us with out food.
“Are you an actress?” he asked Taylor.
Like always, these days she freezes up when asked this question. I remember a time long ago when she’d jump on the table and scream, “Yeah, bitch! I’m Taylor Muthafuckin’ Rain, Dawg!” Not anymore. She’s out of the business and pregnant, doesn’t much care to mbe recognized.
“Ah, yeah,” she finally let out.
“I know I’ve seen you somewhere before!” the deli guy shouted.
“Well, ah, I love big sausage!” We all started laughing.
The little lightbulb in the deli guy’s head all of a sudden turned on. “‘Nuff said,” he managed to get out, now embarrassed that he pretty much got caught beating off in front of all of us. “Do you want this stuff bagged up or can I put it in a big box?”
“Put it in a big box,” I replied.
We all laughed.

MAN GOES THROUGH DUNKIN DONUTS DRIVE THRU NUDE
By FaynerIsBack | April 2, 2008
MARLBOROUGH, MA —A 25-year-old state employee was arrested Sunday night after police said he drove his car to a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-through window while naked.
Steven M. Gerrior of 65 West Main St. works for the Department of Correction and has been suspended with pay pending an investigation, said department spokeswoman Diane Wiffin.
Gerrior pulled up to the window around 6:30 p.m. and fondled himself while waiting for his coffee, according to a police report filed in Marlborough District Court.
When a woman working the drive-through window handed Gerrior a napkin he had asked for, she saw he was nude and became too upset to serve him, according to the report. A second female employee handed Gerrior the coffee, and, she, too, saw him touching himself, the report said.
One of the women gave police Gerrior’s license plate number, and he was arrested later Sunday night on a charge of open and gross lewdness.
Gerrior was arraigned yesterday in Marlborough District Court. Judge Jonathan Brant released him without bail.
Wiffin declined to comment on in what capacity Gerrior is employed with the Department of Correction.

MARILYN MANSON EX IN LESBIAN FLICK
By FaynerIsBack | April 2, 2008
Dita Von Teese starred in a pornographic lesbian film, it has been claimed.
The burlesque performer is spanked and pleasured with a bizarre sex toy by her female co-star in the kinky adult movie - shot before she rose to fame - which has now been released on the Internet.
In another clip, the 35-year-old beauty is shown romping with two attractive women wearing corsets, according to reports on website www.thesun.co.uk.
Dita has previously admitted to being a fan of pornography, saying: “Amateur pornography is a great thing. You can find anything for everyone on the Internet. People love watching other people having sex. I’m no different.”
Meanwhile, Dita has revealed the best thing about her divorce from goth rocker Marilyn Manson is living in a drug-free environment.
Dita, who legally separated from Manson last year, said: “There’s a long list of things. But most of all I am happy to have the drugs out of my life.”
Dita also revealed she had her engagement ring “transformed” following the split.
She added to The New York Times magazine: “I took my engagement diamond and had it transformed at Christian Dior in Paris into a beautiful ring. It’s nice - it’s big. I feel like I suffered greatly for that diamond, and it needed to be reborn into something better.”

WOMAN GETS RAPED…THEN ARRESTED
By Fayner | April 2, 2008
This is one hell of a story, kiddies. Woman gets raped by two boys after they drug her, then she gets arrested for having sex with underage boys. I must be pretty stoned this morning ’cause this just doesn’t make much sense to me.
It was the shocking video that caused outrage and led to calls for YouTube to vet all its content.
The three-minute clip, filmed on a mobile phone, apparently showed a young and unconscious mother being gang raped as she lay helpless in her own home.
It was posted on the popular video-sharing website, which is owned by Google, within hours of the incident on November 6 and was viewed more than 600 times.
The clip stayed on the website for three months after YouTube staff failed to remove it.
The alleged victim claims it shows her being raped by three boys in front of her screaming children, aged two and four, after being drugged.
But yesterday it was revealed that the 24-year-old woman has now been arrested on suspicion of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old and perverting the course of justice.
Scotland Yard confirmed it will take no further action against two 16-year-olds and a 14-yearold arrested in February in connection with the video.
Yesterday YouTube admitted a “mistake” by one of its staff meant the video was not removed for months.
The head lawyer of Google told a Commons hearing on Internet dangers to children that the clip would normally have been taken down sooner.
Kent Walker said further checks had been put in place to prevent a repeat of the incident.
But he resisted repeated calls for all submitted content to be pre-vetted, saying it would go against the spirit of the site.
Mr Walker added that he was unable to disclose how many staff were employed by Google to monitor footage on YouTube, causing Newcastle-under-Lyme MP Paul Farrelly to ask: “Do you know how absurd you are sounding?”
Plaid Cymru MP Adam Price, referring to the apparent rape clip, said: “People will find this deeply objectionable; you can’t defend that. No reviewer could view that kind of content and not understand it for what it is.”

Okay, not sure if y’all realized it was April Fool’s Day yesterday I think I made up a couple of things like the Jessica Simpson thing and the Mel Gibson thing and I think the Donny Long thing was fake too but I can’t remember. Anyway, at least Testa didn’t put up the same old story about how I died and then everyone believed it for some reason even though he wrote it like every year and it was never true.

It’s no secret that ladies love Louis… and Kristin Davis was smiling from ear to ear as she exited her local Louis Vuitton boutique yesterday, despite finding a parking ticket on her car windshield.
Nonetheless, a little fine wasn’t going to stop the “Sex and the City” starlet from enjoying her April Fool’s Day shopping trip in Los Angeles, California, as she happily posed for the paps in a v-neck sweater, jeans, and jacket ensemble.

3RD GRADERS ATTACK ON TEACHER THWARTED
By FaynerIsBack | April 1, 2008
WAYCROSS, GA — It’s the type of news you don’t expect to hear coming out of an elementary school.
Nine third grade students suspended at Center Elementary in Waycross for an alleged plot to attack their teacher.
“This plot was uncovered at the point that something dangerous was brought to the school,” says Lt. Dwayne Caswell with Waycross Police.
Police say the students were hatching a plan to harm their teacher Friday morning. They even brought items from home to carry out the plan.
“They had a broken steak knife, a crystal paper weight, toy handcuffs, several items and tape and stuff,” says Lt. Caswell.
Early Tuesday, the Waycross Police Department released photos of some of those items. They include the knife, handcuffs, and gloves.
Ware County School officials say a classmate told the principal about one of the students bringing a weapon to school. The discovery was later made that more students were in on the plot. The school says it’s a matter they are not taking lightly.
“Some might say ‘They were young and in the third grade and how serious could it be?’, but anytime our students’ safety or our teachers’ safety is compromised we obviously have to take that very seriously,” says Theresa Martin with Ware County Schools.
The school district says all the students are suspended until further disciplinary action is decided.
“We continue to do what we always do which is work to make our students aware that this is not appropriate and we ask our parents to help us. The whole saying that it takes a village to raise a child is very appropriate at this time,” says Martin.
Police say no criminal charges will be brought forth against the students.
The District Attorney is handling the case and students will most likely face juvenile charges of Unruly Child.

BEYONCE AND JAY-Z TO MARRY…. SO WHAT
By FaynerIsBack | April 1, 2008
Beyonce Knowles and her longtime beau Jay-Z may finally be ready to walk down the aisle. The hip-hop honeys took out a marriage license in Scarsdale Village, N.Y., yesterday morning, People.com reported.
The document is valid for 60 days, so the tight-lipped duo have their wedding-planning work cut out for them.
A rep for the “Dreamgirls [trailer]” star would only say “no comment” when asked whether the two were poised to say “I do.” Jay-Z’s rep could not be reached, People reported.
Wedding rumors have popped up in the past. In December of 2006, the couple - who began dating in 2002 - were rumored to be tying the knot in the Caribbean, but that tale was quickly squashed by their reps.
And Beyonce, 26, has frequently brushed off talk of marriage to her 38-year-old beau.
“You can’t rush a man into anything - whether it’s a relationship, marriage or having children,” she told InStyle magazine in 2006.

OH, BIANCA, BIANCA
By Fayner | April 1, 2008
I got home from the Laurel Canyon dog park with Taylor and Bianca Dagger is asleep on our couch. Eventually she wakes up and makes her way over to the kitchen.
“Hey!” she yells, “is this from a chinese restaurant or is it a dog treat?” I look, and see that while she’s asking she is also about to shove the treat into her mouth.
“Does it really matter?” I ask. “You’re gonna eat it anyway.”
She does.
Bianca then notices the dog treats we have that look exactly like Cheez-Its. “Do you think they make these from real Cheez-Its or what? Like, do they dip Cheez-Its in dog treat juice?”
No one answers. No one knows just what to say to something like that.

MEL GIBSON: A BIGGER JESUS FREAK THAN WE THOUGHT!
By Fayner | April 1, 2008
So my 2nd cousin married this guy who owns a construction company, the same construction company currently building Mel Gibson’s house that a few weeks ago was the scene of that dude’s suicide. Remember?
Okay, so my 2nd cousin calls me up over the weekend ’cause she happened to go by Mel’s new house with her husband that day to check up on the progress of the job.
“Holy shit!” she tells me. “You would not believe this place! There are statues of Jesus everywhere, murals of Jesus everywhere! I counted at least ten different statues inside alone! The master bedroom has a huge mural of Jesus on the ceiling, it is quite scary and remarkable at the same time.”
Now we knew Mel liked Jesus a lot, but this is more than like, this is love.
Or obsession.
Is this a normal obsession? Does Mel think he is Jesus? I don’t know, and I’m a Jew so obviously I’m too scared to even approach the man to ask. It is better left unsaid I think.

JESSICA SIMPSON HAS WEBBED FEET!!!
By Fayner | April 1, 2008
This is a picture that was up on every gossip site this morning at like 3 am. It was supposedly Jessica Simpson’s right foot. Now they all took it down. I don’t know why.
I did some snooping and it seems that Jessica has never been photographed with bare feet except for this picture which one article stated was taken by a camera phone, prompting me to think that this webbed feet story makes a lot of sense.
I have no confirmation on this, but you make up your own minds about it.
And to all the other site’s that took this damaging pic down you’re all a bunch of pussies!

DONNY LONG BOOTED OFF SET
By Fayner | April 1, 2008
Some stories are a joy to write. This is one of them.
My spy over at Hustler tells me that Donny Long, the guy everyone wishes was Dave Pounder, showed up unannounced yesterday to a Hustler set in Malibu with dog shit on the bottom of his shoes. He tracked it all over the house before realizing it.
The funny thing was that he had the dog shit on his shoes all day as there was no dog at the location to leave shit for Donny to step on and track all over the beautiful home.
What kind of person has dog shit on their shoes and doesn’t notice it?
Donny Long.
The owner of the house personally escorted Mr. Long off the property telling him to never return.
My spy estimated the damage to be around $500. “There was a lot of dog shit tracked up and down the carpeted stairs! What a dipshit!”

Okay so newbie Winter Sky came over today to talk World of Warcraft with Dez. She brought her little puppy Corso and we were out in the driveway watching our dogs team up on it.
“So I did a scene today for Hypno Zombie Slaves,” Winter told us.
“Were you really hypnotized?” Testa asked.
“No, but they told us to act all out of it, staring into space blankly, totally oblivious to what was going on.”
“So they wanted you to act like a porn chick?” I questioned.
“What? No!” she exclaimed.
“Yeah! Am I right, Testa? That is exactly how every porn chick has acted since it began!”
“Shut up, Fayn!” she yelled.
Winter then stormed off.
Porn newbies are so naive.

A FUNNY TONY TESTA STORY FROM A MEXICAN WHOREHOUSE #15
By Fayner | March 31, 2008
Stopped by Barrett and Testa’s house today ’cause Tony wanted to give me his Duff Beer jacket from The Simpsons which probably means he’s gonna be asking me for a huge favor in the next couple of days. Also, they were cleaning out the garage and wanted me to do manual labor.
Somehow, like most times, the conversation turned to Mexican whorehouses.
Oh, yeah, I saw that Tony had used the name “El Burro” on a project and that’s how we started on the topic of Mexican whorehouses…
“That’s what all the whores called me at this one whorehouse,” Testa stated.
“You know it means ass, right?” Barrett asked him.
“It’s donkey.”
I believe they both were right.
“But, you know, Tony, they weren’t calling you donkey because of your dick!”
“Oh, I know!” Tony exclaimed.
One just has to wonder how much time Tony actually spent at this whorehouse to be given a nickname. 12 hours? 24 hours? 3 days?

WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME?
By Fayner | March 31, 2008
Okay, so I woke up early just like every fucking day at around seven. It hurts.
And then I got a text from a porn chick.
Come over and fuck me silly
Did I mention she’s young and sexy?
Well, she is.
And the funny thing - well, the sick thing - is that I didn’t jump in my car and go!
I mean, she kept texting me slutty stuff about my hard cock and her swallowing and cumming all over my dick and things like that.
And I didn’t go? What the fuck is wrong with me?
I’m old, that’s what’s wrong with me.
Oh, and the major traffic, too. That was also calculated into my decision.
But how much longer will young horny women be calling me to have random sex with them?
Not much longer is my guess.
I’m a sad excuse for a man…

CARMELLA BING RETIRES.. SORT OF
By FaynerIsBack | March 30, 2008
Remember back in the 1980’s when Supermodel Linda Evangelista said ‘I won’t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day‘. Well this isn’t quite that over the top, but it is reminiscent of that memorable quote…. according to Carmella Bing, ‘$20,000 a month just isn’t going to cut it for me‘. WOW, hookers do have the life!
Carmella Bing Blogs on her myspace: Its been a long few years in my porn career. Ive had my ups and downs litterally. I was with LA Direct from the start, I shot anal my first day -shit, I had 3 DPs my first week! Like a lot of the new girls, I stayed at Dereks house. I made a few good friends, Ive lost a couple of my old friends, My best friend is all I got left. To my BFF Brianna Love, You fucking rock!!!
Im looking to further my career, but 20k a month isnt going to cut it for me. I am planning my website, as well as directing and producing my own sex toys! I have yet a lot of work to do to get my Dynasty off the ground.
As some may know and others have inquired - Yes, I dated Derek. Not a mistake, but definately a learning experience. I always knew Id be one of his ex-girlfriends, not that I wanted to be but it was to say the least a slow moving relationship. I was always treated with the upmost respect, we had a great time together. But everything good has to come to an end. It was a mutual decision to split, he was very polite and invited me to stay, but the energy was weird.
I just couldnt watch life go on, I left to move in with Brianna.
We are the best of friends, lesbians…. ya know so on and so fourth, but we cant look at each other while we are having sex! Funny, that.
Ive enjoyed featuring recently on the eastcoast thanks to LEE Network. I thank UltimateFantasyGirls for the contracted shoots! Thanxxx to Brazzers for putting me on top! Thank you Kevin aka “Up in ya” for hanging in there, shits been hard and I appriciate you for sticking by me, no matter how much of a bitch I am at times I still love ya! To Brian, for taking such good care of my Baby Doji Bear. Ive been a bit caught up, to seriously Thank You for all you’ve done. You’ve got a friend for life. To my little sister Michelle for all the shit weve been through, I love you so much! I just hope you dont do anything I did! My Real Estate agent John Warner, rest in peace. Im sorry I didnt get my house note in on time because I didnt get to say goodbye. I left some flowers on your desk…
Overall, I dont have anything bad to say about Direct… I just need a new start… Im making some life adjustments, and I think this was a good step for me, quite a slap in the face, but I was long over due for a reality check. Im a better hooker than an actress (mind you I use that word loosely only because I am mature enough to accept it, dont abuse it… thx). In porn my base rate is $1500, Vegas I make $1500 per hour. Porn costs money, taxes, comission, not to mention std’s time off work, medication, more money lost travel costs, wardrobe… etc. Vegas/escorting is cash, 100% cash to me its mine, I pay for advertising and a phone bill. Everything is fucking paid right off the top. Why whould I stick around, never really come up, and practically pay to do porn? I mean why the fuck did I get into porn anyway? To FUCK and be PAID, now that is the question is it possible to intertwine the two? What the fuck?
Thus, I am in Vegas…. Hint…. Hint……

HACKER GETS 3 YEARS FOR PHONY CALL
By FaynerIsBack | March 29, 2008
Orange County, CA. - A Mukilteo man has been sentenced to three years in a California prison for tricking 911 dispatchers into sending a SWAT team to the Orange County home of a randomly selected family.
Randal T. Ellis, 19, was sentenced Thursday in Orange County Superior Court after pleading guilty to felonies including false imprisonment by violence and falsely reporting a crime. He also was ordered to pay $14,765 in restitution, nearly all of it to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
Ellis was arrested last year after hacking into a telephone network and impersonating a caller from a Lake Forest home, saying he had murdered someone in the house and was threatening to shoot others. The technique in which a prank call is made to 911 dispatchers is known among hackers as “SWATting.”
The Sheriff’s Department dispatched a SWAT team and surrounded the home with dozens of officers, dogs and a helicopter.
As the children of Stacey Cerwin-Bates and Doug Bates slept, Doug Bates thought he heard a prowler outside and grabbed a kitchen knife. When he entered the backyard, deputies armed with assault rifles confronted Bates and handcuffed him and his wife until officers were able to determine that the report was fake.
Authorities spent more than six months tracking down Ellis.

CRAIGSLIST SLAMMED FOR HOSTING PROSTITUTION ADS
By FaynerIsBack | March 29, 2008
Craigslist, we have a problem. No, not the baby being sold for drug money earlier this week — that was a hoax and the person who placed the ad was arrested.
Not the malicious ad placed last Saturday that left a Jacksonville, Ore., man with a plundered home, recalling a similar incident last May.
The problem is prostitution. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal on Thursday sent a letter to Barry Reingold, Craigslist’s lawyer, demanding that the community-driven site clean up its act.
“I am astonished and appalled by Craigslist’s refusal to recognize the reality of prostitution on its Web site — despite advertisements containing graphic photographs and hourly rates, and widespread public reports of prostitutes using the site,” Blumenthal wrote.
Though Blumenthal acted on behalf of citizens of Connecticut, following the arrest earlier this month of a Connecticut woman who allegedly used Craigslist to advertise prostitution services, his concerns reflect problems with Craigslist across the nation.
On Tuesday evening, police in Aurora, Ill., west of Chicago, arrested five people for alleged drug possession and prostitution. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the prostitutes advertised on Craigslist.
Blumenthal contends that Craigslist is ignoring the “serious and growing problem” by refusing to hire anyone to review postings that contain graphic nudity or solicitations with hourly rates. “The company effectively denies the undeniable, incomprehensibly and unacceptably,” Blumenthal said. “Although Craigslist touts measures to ban illegal activities and limit or remove inappropriate postings in its erotic services section, a cursory review of this section shows that its supposed solutions are woefully and obviously inadequate.”
Erotic postings aren’t confined to the erotic services section either. A brief scan through the “therapeutic services” section on sfbay.craigslist.org suggests that that particular category should be relabeled “therapeutic erotic services.”
Jim Buckmaster, CEO of Craigslist, said in an e-mailed statement that illegal use of Craigslist won’t be tolerated. “This month we implemented new screening procedures for erotic service ads, which [has] dramatically improved compliance with our terms of use and reduced the volume of such ads by up to 80%,” he said. “Mr. Blumenthal’s office is aware of these improvements, and we are disappointed that he has not recognized the tremendous progress we are making.”
Buckmaster said that using Craigslist illegally isn’t a good idea since posting information leaves an electronic trail and Craigslist staff regularly works with police officers.
And Buckmaster also challenged the claim that Craigslist profits from prostitution. “In the New Haven Register, Attorney General Blumenthal is quoted as saying that our company profits from prostitution,” he said. “That is both utterly false and significantly defamatory, as 100% of our revenue comes from paid job listings and broker apartment rental listings. We certainly hope that the attorney general was misquoted or misinformed, and we look forward to an immediate retraction of this false and damaging allegation.”
Buckmaster said that telephone company yellow pages, weekly newspapers, and other offline and online media in Connecticut regularly include paid erotic ads. “In this country, that’s legal,” he said. “Unlike these media, of course, Craigslist does not derive any revenue from such ads.”

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON’T PULL OVER TO HELP
By FaynerIsBack | March 29, 2008
NEW CASTLE, Ind. - A woman who tried to help after a car crash was punched and bitten by the man she was trying to assist, police said. “It was just crazy. I was just trying to help,” 28-year-old Danielle Herndon of New Castle said Wednesday.
Rex Allen Shannon, 21, Middletown, was being held Wednesday night in eastern Indiana’s Henry County Jail on charges of battery resulting in bodily injury, battery by body waste, intimidation, public intoxication, driving while intoxicated and resisting law enforcement. His bond was set at $39,500.
Two of the charges are felonies with a possible penalty of two to eight years in prison; three are felonies punishable by six months to three years in prison.
Authorities said Herndon was riding home from Indianapolis with her mother on Interstate 70 Tuesday night when a car driven by Shannon passed her in the grass, crossed the highway, flipped and landed south of the road.
“I thought he was dead,” Herndon said.
Her mother, who was driving, pulled over and Herndon called 911, then ran to the other car. Shannon already had climbed out, she said.
“I leaned down and asked him ‘Are you OK?’ I didn’t see any blood or anything. ‘Are you OK? Is everything OK?’ And he started cussing me,” Herndon said.
Shannon then charged toward her mother and hit and bit Herndon when she got in the way, Herndon said.
“He was still biting me when the cops finally showed up,” Herndon said.
When Indiana State Police Trooper Dave Whitinger arrived, he handcuffed Shannon. When another police officer and a medic arrived, Shannon kicked and spat on both men, Whitinger said.
“In 11 years I’d never seen anything like it,” Whitinger said. “Definitely a weird one.”
Herndon said the ring finger on her left hand was broken and doctors told her that her nose might also be broken.

MOTHER BRINGS BABY TO ARMED ROBBERY
By FaynerIsBack | March 29, 2008
GREENVILLE, S.C. — A woman brought her 4-month-old baby along while she and her boyfriend committed an armed robbery, deputies said.
Investigators said that they initially thought that 20-year-old Sarah Titi Walker was the victim of a kidnapping that happened last week in connection with the robbery of the Abbarrotes La Flor D grocery store on White Horse Road.
They said Walker went into the store with the baby, and moments later, a man came in and pulled a gun on the clerk. He demanded money from the clerk, and after he got the cash, he pretended to kidnap Walker and the baby.
Investigators said they later learned that the armed man was Walker’s boyfriend. Deputies said the couple had set it all up so they could make a quick getaway after the robbery.
Master Deputy Ashleigh Bethell said, “Obviously it’s kind of alarming. It’s not something we see on a daily basis — for someone to have their 4-month-old — we were definitely concerned because of the age and the fact there was a weapon involved in this crime. Of course there’s always the possibility this child could have been injured as a result of the crime.”
Walker was charged with Conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery, filing a false police report and child endangerment.
Deputies are looking for Walker’s boyfriend, George Lopez.
Bethell said, “He’s not in our custody at this time, but we do have active warrants against him.”
Walker is being held at the Greenville County Detention Center.

STONERS ARE PEOPLE TOO
By FaynerIsBack | March 29, 2008
Washington, DC: US Congressman Barney Frank (D-MA) will introduce legislation in Congress to strip the federal government of its authority to arrest responsible cannabis consumers. Representative Frank made the announcement last week on the nationally syndicated television show, “Real Time With Bill Maher.”
“It’s time for the politicians to catch up with the public on this [issue],” Frank told host Bill Maher, who sits on NORML’s Advisory Board. “The notion that you lock people up for smoking marijuana is pretty silly.”
Frank’s pending bill seeks to eliminate all federal penalties prohibiting the personal use and possession of up to 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of marijuana. Under this measure, adults who consume cannabis would no longer face arrest, prison, or even the threat of a civil fine. The bill also eliminates all penalties prohibiting the not-for-profit transfers of up to one ounce of pot.
NORML Legal Counsel Keith Stroup, who worked closely with Frank’s staff to draft this legislation, said, “If passed by Congress, this legislation would legalize the possession, use, and non-profit transfer of marijuana by adults for the first time since 1937.”
The bill incorporates the primary recommendations of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission), which affirmed to Congress 36 years ago, “The actual and potential harm of use of the drug is not great enough to justify intrusion by the criminal law into private behavior, a step which our society takes only with the greatest reluctance.”
Currently, 12 states and numerous municipalities have enacted versions of marijuana decriminalization, eliminating criminal penalties for minor pot violations. Passage of these laws has not led to increased marijuana use.
To date, the only US government study ever commissioned to assess whether the enforcement of strict legal penalties positively impacts marijuana use found, “Overall, the preponderance of the evidence which we have gathered and examined points to the conclusion that decriminalization has had virtually no effect either on the marijuana use or on related attitudes and beliefs about marijuana use among American young people.”
Similar statewide legislation is pending in New Hampshire and Vermont. Additionally, Massachusetts’ voters will likely decide on a statewide decriminalization measure this November.
According to a nationwide CNN/Time Magazine poll, more than three-quarters of American adults favor decriminalizing marijuana.

CHARGED WITH HAVING SEX…. WITH A TABLE
By FaynerIsBack | March 29, 2008
BELLEVUE, OHIO — Police say a man in Bellevue was caught on tape having sex with a picnic table.
Bellevue Police Captain Matt Johnson says Art Price, Jr., 40, was seen on four occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony, Johnson says, is that it took place in close proximity to a school, which made it likely that children could have seen Price.
The neighbor — who wishes to remain anonymous — saw Price walk out onto his deck, stand a round metal table on its side and use the hole for the umbrella to have sex.
The most recent instance took place March 14, we’re told. A neighbor videotaped Price.
“The first video we had, he was completely nude. He would use the hole from the umbrella and have sex with the table,” Johnson says.
Police say Price admitted to the crimes — four charges of public indecency. Usually these sorts of things are misdemeanors, but in this case, they are felonies.
“What boosts it up to a felony is that the statute says if it’s likely to be viewed by a minor,” Johnson explains.
The Price family did not want to talk with us, but neighbors did. Some are not happy Price was released on his own recognizance.
“He shouldn’t be allowed just for the fact that he could do that again — and nude that close to a school. That should be zero tolerance,” says Brice Jacobs, a neighbor.
Price is married with three school-aged children. Neighbors tell us they’re now worried about the kids.
“Hopefully it stays between the adults and the kids don’t get a lot of the information so they aren’t so cruel to the little kids,” says Emily Grote, a neighbor.
This case has police in this small town shaking their heads. “Once you think you’ve seen it all, something else comes around,” Johnson says.

POISON’S RIKKI ROCKETT ARRESTED ON RAPE WARRANT
By Fayner | March 28, 2008
It’s funny ’cause Poison and Warrant were rivals back in the late 80s hair band era, and now the Poison drummer is joining Warrant.
Well, kinda.
So he raped a chick? So what, right? I mean, he’s a fucking rock star and can do whatever he wants to!
Actually, no he can’t.
But I wonder why he would need to rape a woman in Mississippi when they’re so stupid a retard could talk them into bed.
You know, rumor was back in the day that Rikki’s drums were like Transformers and could turn into a giant robot.
I bet he wishes he still had those drums so he could hop aboard and fly away.
One only wonders if this rape warrant was Rikki’s way of telling fellow Poisoner Bret Michaels that he too is still relevant in today’s world. I don’t think it’ll work.

HOW TO USE YOUR FEDERAL TAX REBATE CHECK
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
As you may have heard the Bush Administration said each and every one of us would now get a nice rebate.
If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will all go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico , Honduras , and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan.
None of it will help the American economy. We need to keep that money here in America , so the only way to keep that money here at home is to buy prostitutes and beer, since those are the only businesses still in the USA

OPEN SEASON FOR PEEPING TOMS
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
OKLAHOMA CITY — The state House on Thursday will consider a Tulsa legislator’s bill that could help rectify a problem with the law that came to light recently when a suspected “Peeping Tom” in a Target store was freed by a court.
The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that a charge against a man accused of “situating a camera underneath the skirt of an unsuspecting customer” must be dismissed because it had occurred in a public place.
The appeals court said it was restricted by current Oklahoma law that prohibits such an action only if it occurs “in a place where there is a right to a reasonable expectation of privacy,” such as a locker room, dressing room, restroom or a place of residence.
Rep. Pam Peterson, R-Tulsa, said she has been working on a bill since last summer to address this very problem. Her measure, House Bill 2606, would make such an offense a crime, wherever the offense occurred. Peterson said it is a case of catching up the law with current technology, such as the advent of cell phones that take pictures.
Peterson’s bill calls for prosecuting the offender for a misdemeanor, with punishment of up to a year in prison and/or a $5,000 fine.
The current “Peeping Tom” statute calls for a felony count with punishment up to five years in prison.
Tulsa County District Attorney Tim Harris said Wednesday the more specific offense should remain a felony.
“People have the expectation of privacy over their bodies,” he said. “If the woman was naked, that is one thing, but it is another thing if a cell phone is taking a picture of her crotch.”
He said the court’s decision is a “confusing analysis.”
“How do I go back to this victim and tell her she has no expectation of privacy to her private parts in a public place?” he asked.
Peterson said her misdemeanor proposal “is a place to start.”
Harris said he agrees it is probably a stopgap measure that is a step forward.
The lawmaker said that due to overcrowding problems within the prison system, she is not sure another felony should be put on the books.
“We want to make sure that there is a law that makes this a crime,” Peterson said.
In the 2006 case, Riccardo Gino Ferrante, now 34, was accused of shooting pictures from an angle underneath a woman’s skirt, without her knowledge, in the open shopping area of a Target store.
The court’s summary opinion affirmed by four of five judges said a district court had ruled correctly in dismissing the charge, based on current law, “although the court in interpreting and applying particular statutes may think the Legislature should have made them more comprehensive.”
This is precisely what Peterson says her bill will do.
Tulsa community groups that work with women and girls were concerned about the implication of Tuesday’s decision.
“We can’t believe that measuring decent behavior has become whether it falls within a loophole or technicality of the law,” said Barbara Findeiss, executive director of the Child Abuse Network.
Offenders often find dangerous loopholes that stand in the way of common sense, she said.
“The obvious is not so obvious anymore,” she said.
Felicia Correia, chief executive officer of the Tulsa YWCA, said the law needs to be changed.
“You would think that in a store, under your skirt, you could expect privacy,” Correia said.
The law needs to protect women against the ways technology can be used to hurt them. Not doing so would send a damaging message to the community, she said.
“It will be more and more difficult as technology advances,” Correia said.
The associate director of Domestic Violence Intervention Services/Call Rape, said she is confident the law will change and she understood the judges’ task when looking at the case.
“They have to look at a lot of distinctions,” said Donna Mathews, who is also an attorney.
Legislators have worked quickly in the past on issues involving women and privacy, Mathews said. “I think they will in this case, too,” she said.

LINES OF MEN ALL WAITING FOR SEX
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
Is political correctness stopping police ending the misery of the teenage sex slaves?
Their faces remain shadowy, but Jane clearly remembers the sheer, terrifying numbers of men who would be brought to her bed at night. “It happened every night. There were loads of men involved.” Her voice cracks.
“You couldn’t keep count.” It was like a conveyor belt, she recalls.
A conveyor belt of men all expecting sex. She was only 14.
Sinister: Young girls are being forced into prostitution by Asian and Afro-Caribbean gangs
The very idea seems medieval, a horrific nightmare.
But this was 21st-century Yorkshire, and Jane’s experiences as a child prostitute were all too real.
In fact, it’s believed as many as 5,000 under-age British girls have been groomed for prostitution by ruthless criminal gangs.
It is a sinister and deeply uncomfortable scenario, not least because these crimes frequently have a racial element: in many of the identifiable cases, the pimps come from the Asian or Afro-Caribbean communities.
As such, the parents of some young victims claim the authorities are reluctant to tackle the issue for fear of upsetting race relations in areas with large ethnic minorities.
Whatever the politics, the reality of the plight of these young girls is chilling.
Tonight, an eight-month investigation by the BBC’s flagship current affairs programme Panorama reveals evidence of a growing number of young girls being sexually abused and brutalised, pimped by gangs of criminals and recruited to a life of degradation and shame while barely into their teens.
All are left irrevocably damaged by what they endure, while in certain quarters the police stand accused of failing to protect them from the sexual predators who stalk Britain’s regional centres.
As Aravinda Kosaraju, a researcher at the campaigning organisation Crop (Coalition for the Removal of Pimping), puts it: “The abuse these girls suffer is horrendous. What we’re dealing with is gross criminality, and that should be confronted irrespective of the race of the perpetrators.
“We are battling to get recognition that what we are dealing with is organised crime against children.”
It is hard to disagree when confronted by the brutal details of Jane’s story.
A slightly built blonde from Yorkshire, who does not look her now 18 years, her memories follow what emerges as a depressingly familiar pattern: wooed by manipulative gangs of older men, victims are made dependent by expensive gifts and constant compliments.
A sexual relationship ensues before the abusers begin to exert control through threats, brutality and drugs before selling the girls to other men for sex.
In Jane’s case, her treatment was textbook, sparked off by an innocent conversation with a group of Asian men in their late teens and 20s during a trip to town with schoolfriends.
She was just 13 at the time.
“The grooming starts where you meet them and they’re nice to you and take you to McDonald’s and buy you cigarettes,” she tells Panorama.
“I was flattered that older boys were interested in me, which at 13 is nice.
“And then you start to meet the cousins and the brothers, and then you realise that you’ve been passed on because suddenly you’re hanging around with older people.”
It was not long either, before the “hanging around” took on a more sinister tone.
“They start to touch you and say sexual things to you,” she tells Panorama.
“And then the abuse starts. I was pinned down by two men while a third man raped me.
“And there were other men watching.”
Too scared to confide in her parents, Jane felt held to ransom by the terrifying threats from the gang if she even considered asking for help.
“They’d say things like they’d bomb my house and gang-rape my mum,” she says.
Within weeks, Jane was being made to have unprotected sex with a succession of men day after day.
Astonishingly, she remained in school and even returned home most evenings to her parents, who found themselves powerless to discipline her.
Chillingly, so regular and routine were the experiences that it became “normal” to her.
“I had to perform sexual acts on different men. One would come in, do whatever he wanted, go out and another would come in,” she recalls.
Little wonder her pimps “worked” her hard: for them, Jane meant big money: according to the Metropolitan Police, a pimp can make £300,000 to £400,000 a year selling a 16-year-old girl - and, as David Barratt, a professor of applied sciences at the University of Bedfordshire and author of several books on child prostitution, points out, the younger the girl, the more money they make.
“The criminal network can receive very significant money,” he says.
Jane, or course, did not receive a penny, instead accruing “debt” by the day, a trap heightened by the fact that she was by now addicted to drugs.
“They’d introduce you to cannabis and alcohol, and then after you’d been doing that for a while they’d get you to take ecstasy or cocaine and then they’d want to get you onto heroin or crack cocaine, which is addictive,” she tells the TV programme.
“You don’t pay for your drugs - you have sex with loads of different men to pay for them.”
Across the Pennines in Blackburn, Lancs, this cycle is all too familiar.
Here in this former mill town, the phenomenon of young girls being groomed for sex by local gangs has caused such concern that police set up a dedicated unit, Operation Engage, to tackle the problem.
Its first major case caught two men with a history of preying on young teenagers in care, and highlighted what some believe is a growing phenomenon - the racial background of the pimps.
Both Asians, 32-year-old Qaiser Naveed, and Zulfqar Hussain, 46, were jailed for nearly six years for abduction, sexual activity with a child and supply of a controlled drug.
Their two victims were just 14 - and in both cases, their parents had no idea what had caused the huge changes they’d seen in their daughters.
Like Jane, the story of the two girls - we shall call them Lindsay and Fiona - followed a predictable pattern.
Both rather troubled youngsters who’d had problems at home, they fell under the spell of the older men.
“We met Zulfi and Qais in a take-away in Blackburn,” Lindsay, now 16, recalls today.
“We were just mates. They’d give us cans of lager, bottles of Jack Daniels and sometimes ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis.
“We knew at some point they’d expect sex with us. But we didn’t think there was really anything wrong with that.”
They soon did: both girls quickly became dependent, dragged into a world of sordid sexual exploitation while their parents could only stand by helpless as their daughters became wild and uncontrollable, staying out all night and refusing any discipline.
As Fiona’s mother, Megan, reveals. “Her outlook on everything changed. She didn’t want to know us as a family.”
Persistent complaints to the authorities, Megan says, paid off only when the local MP, Jack Straw, intervened.
Within weeks, both girls were taken into care in a bid to remove them from the source of the abuse.
Horrifyingly, though, this was not enough to protect the girls from Naveed and Hussain.
Furious, they hatched a plot to abduct the girls from care and took them back to their life of sex for sale.
This time, however, the increasingly sickening violence the girls faced was to prove a turning point for Lindsay and Fiona, and both found the courage to report the men to the police.
One incident in particular, stands out. “The time Zulfi attacked Fiona was the worst,” Lindsay says quietly.
“I remember hearing her screaming because he was whacking her across the back with a metal bar when she refused to have sex with him.
“I guess she had sex with him in the end just to keep him quiet.”
Nor is this kind of violence unusual: Jane, too, was threatened more times than she can remember.
“One day I was picked up by an older man who took me to a park.
“He pulled a gun out from under the car seat and put it to my head and told me that I was going to die in three seconds,” she remembers.
“Then he counted down and pulled the trigger, but it wasn’t loaded. He found that amusing.”
Eventually, terrified for her life, Jane confided the truth to her parents, who reported her case to the police.
What ensued is subject to dispute: while the force concerned say they couldn’t find enough evidence for a prosecution, Jane insists she felt forced to withdraw her allegations because officers couldn’t guarantee her safety.
Certainly, Jane’s case highlights a central problem: in this shadowy, underground world, it is not always easy for either police or the victims to provide hard evidence of abuse.
Child prostitutes may not stand on street corners - they are more likely to be hidden away in places such as a flat above a taxi firm.
And with few victims turning to the police for help, officers are reduced to visiting known pick-up points: parks, amusement arcades, street corners, looking for girls at risk of grooming into prostitution.
Many do not want to listen. And even when they do manage to rescue their victims, many cases do not make it to court because the children are too scared to talk.
As Sara Swann, a former government adviser on child protection, puts it: “Many girls are terrified and with reason. We had a case in the West Midlands where a girl had her tongue nailed to the table when she threatened to tell,” she says.
“Another had her head pulled back, and a kettle of boiling water held over her open mouth. You won’t give evidence when that’s happened.”
The race issue continues to prove contentious: in 2004, a Channel 4 documentary on the topic of Asian pimps operating in Bradford was pulled from the schedule at the request of the Chief Constable of West Yorkshire Police, who felt the timing of the programme could contribute to community unrest.
But there is hope. A decade ago, a pilot scheme in Wolverhampton showed that with a concerted effort on the part of police and community leaders, perpetrators can be brought to book.
Under the scheme, which was funded for only 18 months, victims of abuse were put in “safe houses” out of the area. It was to prove extraordinarily effective, as the team’s head, Det Sgt Lyndon Whitehouse, recalls on Panorama.
“We investigated 91 cases, and in 71 of those cases, we uncovered evidence of coercion and exploitation and in 35 we brought a prosecution.
“Thirty-five adults were charged with exploiting children for prostitution, and virtually all of those people were convicted,” he says on the programme.
His team showed how these crimes could be tackled throughout the country. But ten years on, no such scheme is in place.
This month, the Home Office confirmed that pimping children will be covered by new police targets, while a warning video will be produced for use in schools.
These measures come too late for Jane, who can only live with the legacy of her past.
She has, to a certain extent, repaired her life - she has a job and her relationship with her parents remains strong.
The long-term damage, however, is profound, and she suffers nightmares, flashbacks and depression.
As she puts it: “I was just this innocent little girl who went from playing with her dolls to having sex with lots of different men.”
And unpalatable though it may be to confront, there are, even now, many other innocent little girls at risk of being forced into the same sickening transition.

LINDSAY LOHAN JOINING CHARLES MANSON CULT
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
from People Magazine: First Mark David Chapman, and now this! Lindsay Lohan, fresh off her big-screen role opposite John Lennon’s killer (aka the chubby Jared Leto) in Chapter 27, has signed up to star in another film about a murderer – this time, it’s Charles Manson.
Lohan, 21, will play one of Manson’s cult followers, Nancy Pitman, in the movie Manson Girls, E! Online reports. The site quotes the film’s producer, Brad Wyman, as saying, “Yes, I am doing it with Lindsay.”
The actress has been busy back at work since her departure from rehab last fall. She’s also recording a new album and will costar in an upcoming Jack Black movie, Ye Olde Times.
But as she recently told PEOPLE, she doesn’t see this as a “comeback.” “I think this is what I love to do,” she said. “I’m just continuing to do it – in the right ways.”

KATE BOSWORTH “SO DRUNK I CANT REMEMBER THE SEX”
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
from Access Hollywood
NEW YORK - What happens in Vegas, may stay in Vegas. However, there’s one Sin City memory Kate Bosworth can’t talk about even if she wanted to.
Bosworth revealed she was so drunk while filming a steamy love scene with Jim Sturgess in “21,” she can’t even remember it.
“We were both so drunk,” the sexy “21” siren told People. “Jim and I became such good friends, we decided to have a couple of drinks, loosen up and go for it.”
In “21,” Sturgess plays Ben Campbell — a shy but brilliant MIT student — needing to pay school tuition – who joins a group of fellow brainiacs that attempt to turn the odds in their favor in Las Vegas.
Bosworth plays the sexy Jill Taylor, a fellow student who helps seduce and recruit Ben to join the group of card-counting gamblers.
The film is based on Ben Mezrich’s book, “Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six MIT Students Who Took Vegas for Millions.”
So what was the stars’ drink of choice on the set to prepare for their love scene?
“We were on Grey Goose, I think,” Bosworth told People on Wednesday at the Cinema Society and Calvin Klein Jeans-sponsored screening of the film in Manhattan. “It was brilliant for about half an hour. As we continued to drink … it just became sloppy and messy. I couldn’t stand up at one point.”
“21,” which also stars Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne, opens nationwide on March 28

LA TIMES APOLOGIZES TO DIDDY
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Times apologized for using apparently fabricated documents in a story implying that a 1994 assault on Tupac Shakur was carried out by associates of Sean “Diddy” Combs, and that he knew about it ahead of time.
“The bottom line is that the documents we relied on should not have been used,” Editor Russ Stanton said in a story posted Wednesday night on the newspaper’s Web site. “We apologize both to our readers and to those referenced in the documents … and in the story.”
Pulitzer-prize winning reporter Chuck Philips, who wrote the story, and his supervisor, Deputy Managing Editor Marc Duvoisin, also apologized.
The apologies followed an investigation launched by Stanton after The Smoking Gun Web site reported earlier in the day that the paper was conned by a prisoner who doctored the documents.
“The Los Angeles Times apology is, at best, a first step,” according to a statement from Howard Weitzman, attorney for Combs, “but it doesn’t undo the false and defamatory nature of the story, or the suspicion and innuendo that Mr. Combs has had to endure due to these untruthful allegations and the irresponsible conduct of this particular reporter. We have nothing further to say at this time.”
The Smoking Gun said the documents seemed phony because they appeared to be written on a typewriter instead of a computer and included blacked-out sections not typically found in such documents, among other problems.
The Web site claimed the documents were fabricated by a prison inmate with a history of exaggerating his place in the rap music world.
The Times said its March 17 story was based on FBI records, interviews with people at the scene of the 1994 shooting, and statements to the FBI by an informant.
None of the sources was named.
Philips said Wednesday that a former FBI agent examined the documents in question for him and said they appeared to be legitimate.
But Philips said he wished he had done more to investigate their authenticity.
“I now believe the truth here is I got duped,” he said.
Marc Lichtman, an attorney representing rap manager James Rosemond, one of two men the story linked to the Shakur attack, had earlier demanded an apology.
“I would suggest to Mr. Philips and his editors that they immediately print an apology and take out their checkbooks — or brace themselves for an epic lawsuit,” Lichtman said Wednesday.
The shooting triggered a feud between East and West Coast rappers that led to the killings of Shakur and Notorious B.I.G.
The story said associates hoping to curry favor with Combs — who was overseeing B.I.G.’s white-hot career at the time — lured Shakur to the studio because of his disrespect toward them.
The story and related features on latimes.com attracted nearly 1 million hits — more viewers than any other story on latimes.com this year, the newspaper said.

CELEBRITY GOSSIP ROUNDUP
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
Paris Hilton is reportedly adding another dog to her collection. The self-declared animal lover — and PETA-criticized pet owner — is planning on adopting a West Highland terrier, according to MSNBC. A former dog-sitter for the heiress is unsupportive of the new addition. “She might like her dogs, but she can’t keep track of them,” the sitter said. “Last time I watched her dog, she forgot I had it and assumed it was lost.”
Kate Moss is allegedly engaged to her boyfriend, The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince. UK tabloid The Sun claims the supermodel was overheard saying,” I’m getting married” during a recent romantic vacation in Amsterdam with Hince. The pair have been dating since Moss’split from rocker Pete Doherty last summer.
Kimora Lee Simmons has finally gotten around to filing for divorce from her husband of seven years, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, the Associated Press reports. Though the couple separated in March 2006, the 32-year-old fashion designer didn’t file divorce papers until Tuesday (March 25th), irreconcilable differences. She and the 50-year-old Simmons have two daughters, ages eight and five. Kimora Lee, who’s been dating actor Djimon Honsou, is seeking legal and physical custody of the kids. She has requested that Russell be granted “reasonable child visitation…accompanied at all times by the children’s nanny and security personnel.”
The first pictures of Jennifer Lopez’s newborn twins drove traffic to the People.com website to an all-time high. On March 20th, the hyped debut of Max and Emme drew four million unique visitors to the site — double its daily average. Although reps for People say that it is too early to estimate newsstand sales, MSNBC is reporting that early numbers forecast that the issue will sell around 2.3 million copies, well above the 1.5 million average circulation.
Nicole Richie is launching her own jewelry line. The new mom tells People magazine, “It’s all costume jewelry. I like to play with jewelry and mix and match.” Richie is working with Mouawad on the line, which is the same company that produced Heidi Klum’s fine jewelry collection. The former Simple Life star is also launching infant and children’s wear lines later this year.

PAPARAZZI DEFEND THEIR TRADE

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) — Some have suggested that the celebrity gossip supernova may finally be cooling off, but don’t try telling that to the king and queen of Hollywood paparazzi. They’re busy building photo archives of Miley Cyrus, 16, in case she becomes the next big moneymaking disaster.
The usually sober Atlantic magazine surprised readers with a Britney cover recently.
“We’re trying to get the shots before they go into rehab,” said Brandy Navarre, who runs the powerful paparazzi agency X17 with her husband, Regis.
What’s more, they believe they’re the model for future news coverage on all kinds of subjects. “It’s already happening,” Mr. Navarre said. “We tried to get Obama in the Virgin Islands with no shirt.”
Imagine that
And they believe it’s even all to the good. Mr. Navarre suggested that a pack of paparazzi may have been able to prevent John Lennon’s murder in 1980; Ms. Navarre said photos of partying starlets have sometimes spurred their families to get professional help.
The pair spoke during a panel on celebrity news convened today by The Atlantic magazine, which recently surprised its rather intellectual readers with a cover story on “The Britney Show.” The magazine has tried to expand its influence and begin turning a profit; to that end, it has just poached Wired publisher Jay Lauf from Conde Nast to become VP-publisher.
AdAge decided against trying for a shirtless photo of Mr. Lauf, but it’s hard to deny that the general news media increasingly reflect the tactics and values of gossipy celebrity coverage.
Responding to demand
“It’s defining deviancy down,” said Richard Johnson, editor of The New York Post’s Page Six. Its attempt at a stand-alone website for Page Six failed this week because it joined the online game too late, he added, not because of any drop in demand for celebrity gossip. Demand is definitely still growing, he said. “It’s the Page Six-ification of America.”
It’s also a reaction, even a reasonable countermeasure, to stars’ careful packaging, panelists argued. “We don’t have to send 500 faxes and deal with a publicist,” Ms. Navarre said. “We just go out there and do it.”
But Bonnie Fuller, editorial director of American Media and former editor of Us Weekly, probably described the appeal of the approach most directly. “It’s invigorating,” she said.

WILL LUKEFORD.COM HAUNT ME FOREVER?
By Fayner | March 27, 2008
I think anyone who has been following me and my rendition of LukeFord.com over the years knows I am no longer invoved with the site. There’s a new guy over there now and it ain’t me.
But I wish he would post under a name so that those who don’t already know I’m gone from there will know that it is not me writing since I’ve always started everything I did on that site with Fayner Posts…
So this new guy at LukeFord wrote something about Brooke Haven the other day I find out this morning when Taylor says “hey, Brooke Haven is pissed! She thinks you wrote bad shit about her!” and I was like, “but I love Brooke (as much as one can love a woman in an hour)! I didn’t do it!”
Anyway, you can check out what was written about her at LukeFord, and here is what Brooke had to say to Taylor:
interesting thread on ur lukeford site …… was curious if u or scott fayner wrote it i doubt it was u uve always been sweet and i wouldnt expect it from u , however everyone including u is rightfully entitled to their opinion , i believe whoever wrote the post is under the impression I quit doing boys as a power play or something it wasnt that at all and dont hold myself higher than anyone else in this buissness , nor am I ungratefull for what ive gotten from this buissness which is why i am not quitting everything ….. i have alot of my own personal reasons for my decision ( no ones buisness but my own ) however as u know everyones body is differnt and mine can only take so much after so long … i have nothing negative to say about this buissness or anyone in it … so i hope u have a clearer perspective … xoxooxox please let me know if this is scotts doin rather than urs Brooke Haven
I would never dump on a porn chick for her own personal choices that have to do with her body. Brooke has the right to decide who she fucks on camera, not you or me. But she’ll be back one day, that’s my guess. She’s too good at being a hot little whore not to.

THE LONG WALK
By Fayner | March 27, 2008
So I remembered this story from years ago when I was a young tike (and kike) living in Newton, Massachusetts.
This guy Wilkins AKA Stink Bomb (imagine having that nickname growing up?) was getting with some - obvious - skank over at our friend Steve Quinn’s house one weekend night. He got the rubber on, was about to start fucking this skank when
BANG BANG BANG on the door!
It was Steve, saying his parents were coming home from Cape Cod and that everyone had to get out of the house.
“But the Cape is like an hour away!” Stink Bomb yelled. “Give me five minutes!”
“Get out now!”
Now even back then I was the kind and sensitive guy I am today, so I suggested we all go over to my house ’cause my folks didn’t care if we hung out in the basement and Stink Bomb really needed to get laid.
So we started walking. And walking. And walking.
And Stink Bomb was making all sorts of painful faces while he walked.
“What’s the deal?” someone asked.
“Well, that was my only rubber so I had to keep it on.”
“You’re still wearing the condom? But we’ve walked like a mile!”
We proceeded to laugh all the way back to my house, and eventully Stink Bomb did fuck her in a dank corner of my basement.
So anytime your parents give you that, “I had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways” story just tell them that you know of a guy who walked two miles with a fucking condom on his dick so he could fuck a dirty whore.
They’ll love that!

TODAY IN HISTORY: JESUS CONDEMNED TO DIE
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
The great Js all die young — Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jesus. Jesus H. Christ was born (ironically enough) around five to six years “before Christ” (B.C.) due to a scheduling mixup.
Generally depicted in art as a white guy with blue eyes and dirty blonde hair, the location of Jesus’ birth and his ethnicity suggest that he probably looked a lot more like Osama bin Laden than Brad Pitt. His parentage has been the subject of much controversy. His mother is generally agreed to have been a woman named Mary, and upwards of 2 billion people would make some sort of claim to the effect that his Father was Yahweh, the Jewish God (as opposed to Zeus, Durga, Allah, Jupiter, Anubis, Quetzalcoatl or Keanu Reeves).
The location of his birth is inconsistently reported, even in the Bible. Christmas carols record it as Bethlehem, other accounts say Nazareth, the town in which young Jesus grew to maturity, with his virginal mother and cuckolded father, Joseph.
In the Bible, Jesus was a precocious child, given to lecturing rabbis on the finer points of Talmudic law and chiding his parents for being so attached to him. A few unauthorized biographies of the “mysteriously-not-burnt-by-the-Catholics” variety, such as the Infancy Gospels of James and Thomas, relate salacious anecdotes about the prepubescent Jesus and his Bart Simpson-like antics — such as using divine powers to blind fellow children who presumed to roughhouse with His Fine Self. Don’t have a cow, man!
When Jesus grew to adulthood, he took up preaching as a career choice. In turn-of-the-Aeon Israel, preaching was a hot career much like computer programming in the 1990s. Everyone was doing it. Amidst a crowded field, however, Jesus stood out as an overachiever and soon people were talking. He gathered a core group of 12 groupies, who would later become known as The Apostles, and took his show on the road at age 30.
Jesus’ pitch was something new — he talked about God as a loving, forgiving figure, in sharp contrast to God’s previous reputation as a pillar-of-salt-transforming smiter of iniquity. He also made a name for himself as a miracle-worker, enabling the blind to see and the deaf to hear, casting out demons, walking on lakes, changing water into wine and making the Statue of Liberty disappear during a prime-time special.
Jesus spent a lot of time curing sick people, feeding the masses and disrupting the money-making activities at local temples. These activities did not endear him to the Jewish authorities, who began researching ways to get rid of him. Eventually they settled on the tried and true method of betrayal by a close friend, and hired Judas Iscariot, one of the Apostles, to do the job for 30 pieces of silver.
In a needlessly elaborate Passover plot, Judas led authorities to the Garden of Gethsemane after supper (which would in retrospect be designated “Last”), telling them to arrest the first person he kissed.
The accounts of what followed are somewhat muddled, but the general idea is this: For both political and religious reasons, the Jewish council of priests didn’t want to personally execute Jesus, so they turned him over to the Romans on charges of inciting revolution.
The Roman governor Pontius Pilate was extremely suspicious of this development, since the Jews did not suffer occupation gracefully and there were plots on every street corner. Suspecting he was being set up as the fall guy, Pilate tried to make Jesus somebody else’s problem, but nobody else was interested. Under heavy pressure from the council, Pilate eventually waffled his way through the dilemma by essentially condemning Jesus to death by Crucifixion but insisting it was the Jews’ fault (a deniability strategy that would eventually be cited by the insane Third Reich as a justification for the Holocaust).
The crucifixion went off without a hitch. Jesus was marched up to a hill, nailed to a cross and died. Or did he?
The official story is that Jesus died on the cross, was tossed in a grave but not embalmed (due to the impending Passover Sabbath) and miraculously rose again in three days. Not surprisingly, this account has been the subject of much dispute after the fact.
Again according to the party line, the Risen Jesus spent 40 days hanging with his Apostles, before bodily ascending into Heaven for the duration of human history. When he departed, or so the story goes, Jesus (allegedly) put Peter in charge of the Church, a fateful (alleged) decision that would lead to centuries of bad blood among the various Christian sects.
About five minutes after Jesus was out of the public eye, the controversy began.
It’s universally accepted that Jesus was granted his surname, Christ, around this time. Christ is Greek for “Messiah,” the fabled Jewish savior was foretold in the Old Testament. Prior to this time, the Jewish vision of the Messiah was a bit more conventional, involving Kingship and leading their armies to victory against the Gentiles.
The early Christians usurped the whole Messianic complex and voted Most Likely to Save. After that, things got sticky. Although there are no reliable historical accounts of the first decades of Christianity, the early Christians had divided into camps based on their favorite apostles by 100 A.D. These various sects had a lot of strange ideas, such as the Gnostics, who claimed that Jesus never died on the cross at all.
When the followers of the peaceful and loving Jesus realized that disagreements existed, they naturally began viciously attacking each other. A period of internecine warfare commenced, with the followers of the Peter Tradition coming out victorious. The surviving entity, known as the Roman Catholic Church, proceeded to spend a couple centuries systematically destroying all opposition, only to be completely screwed a thousand years later when Martin Luther nailed a laundry list of complaints to a church door.
The Mormons believe Jesus made a post-Resurrection visit to the future home of the United States, where he befriended Native Americans and notably didn’t give them smallpox. In later years, the discovery of such alleged artifacts as the Shroud of Turin led some researchers to speculate that Jesus H. Christ (no one knows what the H. stands for) didn’t actually die on the cross (but in a different way than the Gnostics believed it).
According to these theories, Jesus was taken down from the cross still alive and nursed back to health. He then sired a child with Mary Magdalene, who took the kid to France and raised him there. The Knights Templar formed to protect this secret, codenamed “Holy Grail,” and the descendants of Jesus eventually became a line of French kings known as the Merovingians (which would then lead to a neat little inside joke in The Matrix Reloaded).
According to this theory, which is far more convoluted and labyrinthine than the above paragraph might suggest, you can actually meet the living descendent of Jesus today. Unfortunately for residents of George W. Bush’s America, he’s a Frenchman — a guy by the name of Pierre Plantard, who runs a not-so-secret-anymore society and generally sits around quietly waiting for the world to acknowledge him.
As for Jesus himself, word has it that there’s a Second Coming in the works, which would in all likelihood be the precursor to the Apocalypse. The Second Coming is scheduled to take place around the time of Armageddon, the final war that concludes the history of humanity and vanquishes the forces of the Antichrist, the chief general of Satan.
All this talk of a Second Coming has naturally led to many mentally unbalanced people to assume they are it, including (but not limited to) David Koresh, Sun Myung Moon, Marshall Applewhite, The Beatles and John Ashcroft.
To date, none of these figures have successfully walked on water or returned from the dead, so the search, such as it is, goes on.

JOLIE/PITT BABY PIX WORTH 10 MILLION $$
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
New York Post: THERE’S no limit to how much money celebrities are being paid to pimp out their babies in the magazines and tabloids. After paying Christina Aguilera a reported $1.5 million in February for shots of her newborn, Max, People shelled out a whopping $6 million to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony for the first photos of new twins, Max and Emme.
One magazine editor who asked to remain anonymous said, “It’s at the point now where some stars might decide to have more kids just to collect the money from their photos.”
Pregnant stars are now “treating this like a game,” said National Enquirer Executive Editor Barry Levine.
“It’s become big business now,” Levine said. “It’s outrageous, they’ve gotten very sophisticated. The rights are bought up now even before the celeb enters the hospital. They hire extra security so it’s impossible to obtain a photo illegally.”
Levine said stars now realize that having a child is “akin to getting a role in a movie.” And the glossies don’t mind paying because they recoup the money over time with magazine sales, Web hits, and by re-selling the photos overseas.
Angelina Jolie, rumored to be carrying twins, could nab up to $10 million for selling the first exclusive photos of the babies, Levine estimates.
“That’s where the market is right now,” he said. “When I was the editor of Star in LA, we bought photos of Lisa Marie Presley’s baby back in 1989 for $100,000, and at the time I thought it was outrageous. Now it’s chump change.” He added, “I’d like to see more people like Sarah Jessica Parker standing outside the hospital and giving the shot away for free.”
American Media Editorial Director Bonnie Fuller said the payouts just keep escalating. “If J.Lo really did get $6 million, then I think Angelina can now command $8 million,” Fuller said. “The magazines must look at it as a long-term investment, but I think it’ll cap out at a certain point.”
Halle Berry, who just gave birth to a baby girl, falls below Jolie in terms of interest. “I can’t think at this point who could command more money than Brangelina,” said Fuller.
We here at ScottFayner.com will be offering Taylor Rain $25 for exclusive first photos of her new little girl, and you’ll see the photos here unless People swoops in and offers her a truckload of cash and prizes.

SMELLS LIKE WEED
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
San Francisco: The musty smell of a man’s money led to his arrest on possible drug charges. The 21-year-old Sturgeon Bay man tried to deposit money smelling of marijuana at a bank here last week, according to a Sturgeon Bay police report obtained by the Door County Advocate.
The $4,000 in bundled bills did not smell like burned marijuana but had a musty odor of ground sweet leaves, the report said.
The smell was so strong and distinct that a teller put the cash in a plastic bag. Sturgeon Bay police tested it for marijuana, and it came back positive, the report said.
The man was arrested when he returned to the bank to make a withdrawal. Police later found bagged marijuana at the man’s home.
“All the pieces just came together,” Police Chief Dan Trelka said.
The man is being held in the county jail on a probation violation, while the Door County district attorney’s office reviews his case. It will be up to the district attorney to file formal charges.

LISA DANIELS ON SOUTH PARK LAST NIGHT?
By Fayner | March 27, 2008
I heard that Lisa Daniels the porn chick was the model for the Heavy Metal cat-piss hallucinations girl on South Park last night but I couldn’t say anything until it aired. I watched the episode. I guess it could have been her; she has big boobs and big hair just like the cartoon chick…
Was it her? I don’t know. But I heard she was down at the South Park studio so my guess is it is true. Unfortunately, the credits roll by so fast and I didn’t have my reading glasses so I can’t be too sure.

DB COOPERS PARACHUTE FOUND?
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
SEATTLE — Hoping to solve at least part of a 36-year-old mystery, the FBI is analyzing a torn, tangled parachute found in southwest Washington to determine if it belonged to famed plane hijacker D.B. Cooper.
Children playing outside their home near Amboy found the chute’s fabric sticking up from the ground in an area where their father had been grading a road, agent Larry Carr said Tuesday. They pulled it out as far as they could, then cut the parachute’s ropes with scissors.
The children had seen recent media coverage of the case - the FBI launched a publicity campaign last fall, hoping to generate tips on the unsolved highjacking - and they urged their dad to call the agency.
“When we went to the public, the whole idea was that the public is going to bring the answers to us,” Carr said. “This is exactly what we were hoping for.”
In November 1971, a man identifying himself as Dan Cooper - later mistakenly but enduringly identified as D.B. Cooper - hijacked a Northwest Orient flight from Portland, Ore., to Seattle, claiming he had a bomb.
When the plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, he released the passengers in exchange for $200,000 and asked to be flown to Mexico. On the flight to Mexico City, he apparently took the cash and parachuted from the plane’s back stairs somewhere near the Oregon border.
Agents doubt he survived because conditions were poor and the terrain was rough, but few signs of his fate have been found. The parachute was discovered about 160 miles south of Seattle, near the border.
Carr spoke with the children’s father, whom he declined to identify, early this month and learned the chute was white, the same color as Cooper’s.
And when Carr overlaid the family’s address onto a map investigators made in the early days of the investigation, he learned another encouraging fact: They lived right in Cooper’s most probable landing zone, between Green and Bald mountains.
Carr hopped in his car and drove down. He dug around the property for about 45 minutes, unsuccessfully looking for a harness or other remains from the parachute, but the children weren’t home, and the father wasn’t sure exactly where they found it.
There are no obvious markings on the parachute to indicate whether it’s the type Cooper used, a Navy Backpack 6 with a 26-foot canopy, Carr said. He’s hoping a member of the public who has expertise in the parachutes will come forward and confirm whether it’s the right kind before the FBI bothers to excavate the property. Barring that, the agency could turn to scientific analysis of the fabric.
“We’ve got to be pretty darn sure we’re not wasting time and money here,” he said.
If it is Cooper’s parachute, that will solve one mystery - where he apparently landed - but it will raise another, Carr said.
In 1980, a family on a picnic found $5,880 of Cooper’s money in a bag on a Columbia River beach, near Vancouver. Some investigators believed it might have been washed down to the beach by the Washougal River. But if Cooper landed near Amboy and stashed the money bag there, there’s no way it could have naturally reached the Washougal.
“If this is D.B. Cooper’s parachute, the money could not have arrived at its discovery location by natural means,” Carr said. “That whole theory is out the window.”

NEVER TOO OLD!!!!!!!!
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
MANATEE COUNTY, FL — Prosecutors have decided to drop a soliciting charge against one of two 93-year-old men who were picked up during recent undercover prostitution stings.
The state, however, will continue to pursue a case against the other elderly man.
Carlos Underhill, 93, will not be charged, although he does not deny stopping to chat with the “good-looking girl” who made eyes at him and turned out to be an undercover cop.
Underhill says that he was going to give the woman a ride because he saw her sitting at a bus stop “with her (breasts) hanging out.”
He admits that he found her attractive, but that he found the sex talk confusing, and that he told her he had to come back later to wiggle out of the awkward situation. It was even more embarrassing, he said, to call his daughter from jail and ask her to pay his bond.
“My daughter and I haven’t talked about it since,” he said.
Police say Underhill was willing to pay $30 for sex, and that he promised to come back a few hours later to consummate the deal.
But prosecutors say that they cannot move ahead with the criminal case because there is no way to prove that Underhill planned to come back.
Underhill was fined $150 for trying to pick up a prostitute in 1990, when he was 75. In the February case, he says that he was not cruising Tamiami Trail for sex, and that all he wanted to do was chat with the buxom woman who smiled at him as he drove past.
“All I was going to do was talk,” he said Monday. “It wasn’t for sex. I am 93, you know.”
Meanwhile, in the case of Frank Milio, prosecutors have issued subpoenas and plan to take him to trial in April.
Milio, according to police records, tried to pay $20 in November to an undercover officer on 14th Street West.
Milio recently told the Herald-Tribune that he was only flirting with the woman.
“I haven’t had that in years,” he said. “Ninety-three is kind of old.”

SEXUAL CONTENT LAW
By FaynerIsBack | March 27, 2008
INDIANA: A new state law that requires sellers of adult material to register with the state has Hoosier bookstore owners fuming about government censorship and threatening a legal challenge.
“This lumps us in with businesses that sell things that you can’t even mention in a family newspaper,” said Ernie Ford, owner of Fine Print Book Store in Greencastle.
Ford was talking about House Enrolled Act 1042, which Gov. Mitch Daniels signed into law last week. Ford was one of 15 independent Indiana booksellers who signed a letter last week urging Daniels to veto the legislation.
The new law that takes effect July 1 requires businesses that sell sexually explicit material to pay a $250 fee and register with the secretary of state, which would then pass the information to municipal or county officials so they can monitor the businesses for potential violations of local ordinances.
The bill was aimed specifically at helping counties that do not have zoning ordinances track businesses selling sexually explicit material, including videos, magazines and books, said Sen. Brent Steele, R-Bedford, who was a co-sponsor of the legislation.
Steele said the bill’s author, Rep. Terry Goodin, D-Austin, was targeting adult stores popping up in rural areas along interstates in Southern Indiana. Goodin could not be reached Tuesday for comment.
Jane Jankowski, the governor’s spokeswoman, said in a statement issued Tuesday that Daniels’ office has no record of receiving the letter from booksellers.
“(The bill) received strong support in both houses; no complaints were brought to our attention as it worked its way through the legislative process,” she said.
Steele said he believes bookstore owners are getting worked up over nothing.
The law does not apply to businesses that sell sexually explicit material on or before June 30; it applies only to new businesses, those that relocate or businesses that begin offering such material after that date.
“I just don’t think that their concern is legitimate,” Steele said.
But groups representing state and national booksellers say the law casts its net too wide. A legal scholar agrees, calling it overly broad and so ambiguous that it may violate constitutional rights.
“The way we read this bill, if you stock a single book with sexual content — even a novel or a book about sex education — you will have to register as a business that sells sexually explicit material,” said Chris Finan, president of American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression.
“This is just outrageous from our standpoint, and we believe it is a violation of the First Amendment.”
While the law does not prohibit stores from selling a book with sexual content, he said, it has a chilling effect that could force sellers to limit the scope of their offerings or get out of the business rather than being placed on a state list of businesses that sell sexually explicit works.
Finan said his group will ask the Media Coalition — a New York-based group that defends Americans’ First Amendment right to produce and sell books, movies, magazines, recordings, DVDs, videotapes and video games, as well as the public’s right to have access to the broadest possible range of opinion and entertainment — to take legal action to overturn the legislation.
A decision by the coalition on whether to enter the fight is expected by mid-April, he said.
Finan added that the association is not aware of similar laws in any other states. If it goes unchallenged in Indiana, he said, other states might try to enact similar regulations.
“I think this is very hypocritical,” said Elizabeth Barden, owner of Big Hat Books on the Northside. “On the one hand, we feel a need to censor ourselves, while on the other hand, we are spending our tax dollars to free the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people.”
Barden said the law could potentially cover “just about any coming-of-age novel and books on health, hygiene and human sexuality.”
Henry Karlson, a professor at Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis and a First Amendment expert, said he sees several potential flaws in the law.
One is the threshold it cites for having to file with the state. It relies on a statute that describes sexually explicit material that can be viewed as “harmful” to minors, including material that “appeals to the prurient interest in sex of minors.”
“The problem is, minors have an interest in sex, prurient or otherwise,” Karlson said, “and how do you distinguish what is normal and what is prurient?”
Another provision of the statute requires registration if a business carries an item when “considered as a whole, it lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value for minors.” While such a definition is pretty clear for adults, Karlson said, that is not the case when it involves minors.
“I can see some communities where people might think some of the literary classics did not meet that standard for minors,” he said.
Karlson said he thinks businesses may have trouble knowing whether to register.
“There’s this huge gray area,” he said. “If you register, you get lumped in with businesses that sell pornography and other sexually explicit material on some state list, and if you don’t, you could face a fine or charges.”
