The publicist for a lesbian actress and musician who says she was escorted off a flight for “one modest kiss” of her partner says the encounter was not a stunt for her band’s upcoming breast cancer awareness tour.

Leisha Hailey, best known for playing Alice Pieszecki in the now defunct Showtime lesbian life drama “The L Word,” asked her Twitter followers to boycott Southwest Airlines after the encounter Monday.

The airline responded that Hailey’s display of affection was excessive and drew customer complaints.

The actress and her partner, Camila Grey, denied in a statement released Tuesday that the affection they showed toward each other was inappropriate.

“We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one modest kiss,” the written statement said. “We are responsible adult women who walk through the world with dignity. We were simply being affectionate like any normal couple.”

I’m going to make this one short and sweet.  Lesbians that look like Leisha Hailey are allowed to kiss, grope, and or get naked in public.

Lesbians that look like that, shouldn’t be allowed to hold hands in public.  I’m pretty sure this is all national policy.

The Postgame.com – Tiger Woods might never return to the top of theWorld Golf Rankings, but at least the disgraced former star has earned a No. 1 ranking in something.

Woods, despite a net worth of $500 million, is the worst celebrity tipper in America. Eldrick’s excuse: He never carries cash. Woods is said to have made a woman in Las Vegas tip for him when they went out. While playing $10,000-a-hand blackjack, Tiger re-pocketed a $5 tip after realizing he tipped her early in the night.

The golfer isn’t the only sports star making the Miami New Times Short Order blog list of “Top Ten Cheapest Celebrity Tippers.”

The story was put together by Lee Klein of the New Times, who says he compiled information from more than a half-dozen sites devoted to tipping.

“The same names kept coming up again and again,” Klein says.

LeBron James was one of them. The King was given a gift from the gods in the form of basketball talent, but leaving a gratuity is a different story. James, with a net worth of $120 million, turns into a cheapskate when the bill arrives. The Miami Heat star is ranked fourth on the New Times list, thanks in part to a generous $10 tip on a $800 bill from a Cleveland steak house he made stay open until 4 a.m.


So Tiger Woods never carries cash huh?  Yo Tiger, I don’t carry cash either, you know why, cause I live with my mother and every penny I do earn goes towards my education that took me 5 years to earn and will take me 20 to pay off.  You know what I’m doing with that education?  Bitching on the internet about how cheap you are.  You suck.

I went to Vegas 3 years ago with some college buddies for Spring Break, I fucking love that city and hate anyone who gets to go when I’m not there (fuck you Johnny)  I was at the Bellagio and lost $100 on war in about 30 minutes, I hit the ATM, won back my original $100, went up another $100, put that hondo on black, hit it, then played 2-5 no limit for about 45 minutes and made another $80.  So after about an hour and a half of gamble I’m up $280, awesome.

At this point it’s about 3ish in the morning and I sit at the bar with my friends who aren’t big gamblers because they’re smarter than me, but they’re big drinkers.  So being smarter than me they convince to spend the majority of my winnings on drinks for all, why the fuck not.  It’s not real money right?  (Note, it is real money you idiots)  After a few jager bombs and some beers, I tip out the bartender who tells me “OHHHHH, You bettah tippah dan Tigah Woods!” (in the most offensive Asian accent you can imagine)  I didn’t really believe him at first, but now it’s official.  I (and apparently anyone else who ever tips… ever) am a better tipper than Tiger Woods.

Thanks Tim for the story.

It sucks to be me.

The Telegraph – Julia High, who works at the UK border agency, found the family of eight living illegally in her home of 30 years in Leytonstone, east London, a fortnight ago.

Despite her furious protests, they insisted their bogus tenancy documents were legal, claimed neighbours had told them she was dead and that they had rented the house from her “son”.

While the women were wearing her clothes, the rest of her belongings had been stuffed into garbage bags and dumped in her back garden.

She was even offered a glass of her own wine after being “invited” her back into her own home.

After Miss High, 55, secured an eviction order the following day, the group proceeded to trash her house, leaving most of the rooms uninhabitable.

 

Gypsies are some of the weirdest birds walking around this big rock, but you gotta respect their “I don’t give a shit” attitude.  I mean, they broke into this broad’s house, invited her in, offered her her wine in her wine glass.  Brilliant.  Then when they get called out for it just lie and deny until your face is red, smelly, and belongs to a gypsy.  Finally when they realize they are actually caught and have to leave they absolutely trash the place.  Play on gypsies you crazy ballsy pieces of shit.

I remember when I was very young my Dad was driving my sisters and I around running errands or something, and we were being annoying little kids.  I think we were in Tipperary, I was probably 3-4, meaning my sisters were probably 6, 5, and 2.  We were fucking around so bad that he drove up to a gypsy camp, and told us that if we didn’t shut up he was going to leave us with them.  I don’t know much about gypsies, but I know that we shut the fuck up real fast after that threat.

Hacktivist group Anonymous, which has been responsible for cyber-attacks on the Pentagon, News Corp, and others, has vowed to destroy Facebook on November 5th (which should ring a bell).

Citing privacy concerns and the difficulty involved in deleting a Facebook account, Anonymous hopes to “kill Facebook,” the “medium of communication [we] all so dearly adore.”

This isn’t the first time Anonymous has spoken out against social networks.

After Google removed Anonymous’ Gmail and Google+ accounts, Anonymouspledged to create its own social network, called AnonPlus.

The full text of the announcement, made on YouTube and reported by Village Voice, is here.

Well it’s about time someone sticks up for some crap we have to deal with.  If I want to delete my Facebook account, I go ahead and do it under the Account Settings….or so I’m told.  Good luck to the guy who tries to delete his account because he’s going to be a lawyer and Facebook doesn’t get rid of those pictures of him smoking a joint while feeling some girl up when he was 17.  Remember, remember the 5th of November.  Should be interesting.

PS – If you read the letter, you’re probably going to think that group Anonymous is nuts.

Members of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ entourage were forced to abandon cases of vodka at a French airport after customs officials told them their stash of booze was too big.

The rapper’s aides surrendered several bottles of Ciroc vodka, of which Diddy is the brand ambassador, after they were stopped by officials at the Cote d’Azur airport in Nice last week.

According to the New York Post’s Page Six, the employees were bringing the liquor from the U.S. for Combs’ parties in St. Tropez.

A source tells the publication, “His entourage was stopped at customs for having too much of the product. So Diddy’s people left a few cases with airport agents.”

The hip-hop star is currently on a tour of the French Riviera to promote the vodka brand.

First off, it’s a tough loss leaving a man behind.  It really sucks when you leave an entire case of your very own vodka.  Secondly, why does he keep changing his name?  I know this is probably a conversation we could have had 3 or 4 years ago but I really get aggravated over this crap.  First Puff Daddy, then P. Diddy, and he’s finally settled with Diddy.  Let’s see if he can keep that going for another couple years.

(NewsCore) – ORLANDO, Fla. — Casey Anthony started drinking hours after being released from jail, TMZ reported Thursday.

In video footage viewed by the website, Anthony can be seen holding a half-empty Corona beer bottle as she gets off a private jet in Florida, soon after she was freed from jail on July 17.

Anthony, who was found not guilty on July 5 of murdering her two-year-old daughter Caylee, was sentenced to four years for lying to police, but walked free from a Florida jail thanks to the time she had already served since her incarceration in October 2008.

Anthony, who was smiling as she deplaned, was on the jet with her former lawyer, Todd Macaluso. At one point she can be heard saying, “I concur” and laughter can be heard as someone screams, “Deplane, deplane.”

Everyone has undoubtedly heard of the Casey Anthony case.  I actually couldn’t stand hearing about it but I was taken back when I heard she took down a beer to celebrate her victory.  Seriously?  A Corona?  You came this close from getting the death penalty and you have a Corona?  I’d go for a tall glass of Johnny Walker Blue.

A US man was arrested in Florida after he allegedly hurled a toilet at the front door of a home whose owner took too long on a beer run.

The rampage began when Kenneth Stuck, 46, and Grady Miles, 44, ran out of alcohol after drinking beer in the front yard of Mr Miles’ home in Hudson, Florida, located approximately 72km north of St Petersburg. Mr Stuck reportedly gave Mr Miles $6 to buy more beer, and Mr Miles left for the store on a bicycle, the St Petersburg Times said.

A witness told police that Mr Stuck started pacing in front of the house, then picked up a toilet that was in the yard and heaved it at the home. According to the Times, the home had been undergoing renovations, and the toilet was among other pieces of the project that were being stored outside.

Mr Stuck then threw broken pieces of porcelain at the home, before ripping electrical wires out of a meter box and smashing the plastic piping of the front yard water well, Pasco County Sheriff Office reports said.

Wow.  How much rage could you have built up to throw a toilet at somebody’s house?  If it’s taking too long, why don’t you get your ass off the couch (which he did anyways to throw the toilet) and walk to the store?  If you don’t feel like walking then find a rider lawn mower to cart your ass down to the liquor store. Lazy I tell you. Lazy.

A member of the Busch family may soon lead a St. Louis brewery for the first time since the 2008 InBev takeover of Anheuser-Busch.

William K. “Billy” Busch, 51, said he is close to opening William K. Busch Brewing Co., a brewery that will initially focus on American-style pale lagers, similar to Budweiser and Bud Light.

The goal is to have two lagers available in the St. Louis market by November, with broader, regional distribution after that.

“We’ve conducted several test brews over the past months, but we haven’t decided on the exact brewing formula we will adopt,” Busch said. “We’re testing some brand names and labels also, but, again, we’re not committed yet to any one direction.”

The St. Louis-based brewing company will likely have its beers brewed under contract at a facility in Wisconsin before picking a brewery site of its own.

All I have to say is bring it back to the states baby.  I might be the only person who, while drinking Budweiser beer, thought of it not being an American brew.  Sure it’s brewed right here in the states but being owned by InBev makes it un-American. Let’s go Billy Busch.  Give us an all American taste of your new beer.

As Lincolnshire police find equipment used for distilling alcohol at the site of an explosion in Boston in which five people were killed, Channel 4 News asks how widespread such practices are.

Reports had been circulating that Wednesday’s explosion in the Broadfield Lane industrial estate unit was caused by an illegal vodka distillery. Lincolnshire Police Supt Keith Owen said initial searches revealed evidence that supports the rumours.

“What I can confirm is that we have found chemicals on the premises which tend to indicate either the manufacture or production of alcohol,” he said.

The explosion caused a fireball that left five people dead and another hospitalised. Fire officials described it as “so intense” that people could hear it five miles away.

The hospitalised man was so badly disfigured by the explosion that he was had no recognisable features, a police spokesman told Channel 4 News.

I know what you were thinking when you saw the title, “Boston? Boston, MA has an underground vodka distillery? Why wasn’t this on the news?”  No you dumb ass.  Boston, Lincolnshire.  Even though Boston is very popular for their dominating sports teams, that doesn’t make it the only Boston in the world.  Pretty crazy though.  I would guess that they got absolutely shattered while making it and forgot to shut something down and then BOOM! Explosion.
