Straight off the meat hook and right on to your plate, it's the news!
- The big celebrity news of the week concerns Mackenzie Phillips, who apparently had a 10-year incestuous relationship with her dad, and a lifelong addiction to heroin. Although I didn't see her appearance on Today, the news story that MSNBC.com staff did about it was well-done, I thought.
It is odd to me that people are questioning whether it actually happened or not, though. Yes, she was on drugs, so I suppose you can question the validity of her memories, but she does come across as pretty lucid in her responses, at least in the news article. Also, from listening to Loveline and Dr. Drew, this sort of sexual abuse is somewhat common in horrible, drug-filled situations like these.
- Work on an AIDS vaccine is progressing forward, with clinical first trials showing some promise. Scientists don't seem to think it'll be a perfect solution, but it is great to see progress being made.
- And finally, in bizarro stripper news... A former stripper is claiming that a Catholic priest would preach on Sunday, and then make fun of God by banging her, and attending nudist and sex clubs obsessively, the other six days of the week. You will be absolutely, positively SHOCKED about where this happened. Wait for it... Wait for it... MIAMI FLORIDA.
Just say no to moving to Florida, unless it's for college. (Erin Andrews, call me!)

A random collection of commentary on the 1990s, sports, pop culture, video games, journalism, writing and ego. You know, like every other blog in existence. Except written by me. Oh, and also, my cat wrote a few entries too.
you forgot the other celebrity news - Sarah Michelle Gellar & Freddie Prinze Jr. had a baby. and they named it Charlotte Grace Prinze. CELEBRITIES WITH NORMAL BABY NAMES! That's why it's a big deal.
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I'm definitely in favor of normal baby names. Screw this "Apple" and "Count" shit!
ReplyDeleteJoel Madden & Nicole Richie named their child Sparrow James Midnight Madden. WHAT?!
ReplyDeleteI like how they threw the James in there.
