Those Crazy Kids!

Police believe a US teenager who crashed a car into a telegraph pole was having sex with his girlfriend at the time.

The man and the woman, both 18, ended up in hospital after the accident in Vineland, New Jersey, reports the Daily Journal.

The driver was naked from the waist down while the girl's pants were on the passenger seat, according to a police report.

A witness told police he saw a female passenger climb on top of the driver and move as if the couple were having sex just before the car veered off the road and hit the pole.

Irony?

While the concept isn't amusing, I have to admit I chuckled a little:

Kokomo, Indiana--Three men showed up intoxicated for a court-ordered program in which panelists tell how drunken drivers have hurt them and their families, police said.

I'll have a foot long


After a two-day visit to Cambodia, Angelina Jolie stopped in Bangkok Wednesday to have a tiger tattooed on her lower back by a well-known local artist, The Nation newspaper reported Friday.

Jolie spent more than two hours at a hotel having the 12-inch-long image applied by renowned tattooist Sompong Kanphai, the newspaper said.

Jolie reportedly said she decided to get the new tattoo because the first one made her feel that her life is filled with luck.

Sompong chanted an ancient hymn to bless the latest tattoo, the newspaper said.

Can it be?

TeenHollywood.com reports that Jessica Simpson has been approached to be the next Bond girl.

I didn't think they could pick anyone worse than Denise Richards. Looks like they are trying to prove me wrong.

Candid Camera


I'm SO pumped about this: McEnroe is going to have his own show!

The former tennis bad boy is now a talk show host, but he's not shouting.

"McEnroe," which debuts on CNBC Wednesday (TONIGHT) at 10 p.m. EDT, will be a cosmopolitan mix of topical guests, music, art, sports and a lot of comedy. In test runs, the program's eclectic mix of guests feels like an expanded version of the second half of Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show."

In the new Vanity Fair, Valentino — designer of choice for Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow — and Giammetti, who was his lover for 12 years, speak frankly about their sexuality for the first time.

Oops

What every man would've given to see this:

Ashley Judd's love of nature led her to be locked out of her cabin at the Ahwahnee hotel in Yosemite without her clothes. Judd says she leaned outside her door trying to get her yoga mat when the door slammed behind her.

She says she covered herself up with her yoga mat and went to the lobby to get a new key.

Hat tip: Josh.

On the Spelling TV series, which returns for its seventh season in the fall, the singer-actor and star of MTV's reality series Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica will play a guy hired as a ghost writer for witch Phoebe Halliwell's (Alyssa Milano) advice column when she goes on a sabbatical and ends up romantically involved with her.

Wonder how Jess likes that one.

Wedding Weekend

I received a nice compliment from the bride of the wedding I was in this past weekend. I was friends with the groom from high school--however, he wanted me in the wedding, so I stood with all the bridesmaids. Kind of odd by traditional standards, I guess, but I say you should have who you want in your wedding--regardless of sex.

The bride gave us all bridesmaid gifts. She wrote me a very nice note and paid me a very nice compliment:

D appreciates your friendship so much. He truly is a great guy that understands how to treat a gal. I think that can be credited to you. What better way to learn than from such a great female friend.

Guess all those years of yelling at him to open the door for me paid off!
