Florence Henderson, who played Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch, is pushing her new memoir so naturally she felt the need to tell the world about the time she got crabs on a one-night stand. Back in the 60s, Henderson boned NYC mayor John Lindsay (both were married at the time), and he left her with a parting gift:
The Best Moment from the Season Finale of Mob Wives
Matt Cherette · 06/26/11 11:28PMTonight, Mob Wives wrapped up with—what else?—a fight. And although the season-ending throwdown didn't involve our favorite, Renee Graziano—instead, Drita D'Avanzo and Karen Gravano got into it over whether or not Drita started dating Karen's ex (now Drita's husband) too soon after Karen broke up with him—it was nonetheless satisfying. You know, if girl fights are your thing.
This Woman Feels Very Strongly About Her Right to Play Music on the Bus
Seth Abramovitch · 06/26/11 10:26PMThis might provide some clues as to why no one in New York is riding the bus anymore. Asked by a driver to not use her iPhone's speakers to play her music, the woman unleashed an extremely loud, hateful, and profanity-filled tirade ("You need to shut the f*ck up and drive your bus, you miserable old f*cking man!...You f*cking honky!"), which was captured on video by another, pissed-off rider. iPhones fighting iPhones!

Seth Abramovitch · 06/26/11 08:18PMSex-powered soul superstar Beyoncé brought the house down tonight at the 2011 Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England. Here's the opening number: a pyrotechnically enhanced version of her defining single, "Crazy In Love." Reviews of the performance — which included familiar hits like "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" and "If I Were a Boy," alongside covers of Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know," Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams," and Prince's "The Beautiful Ones" — have been glowing. The Guardian declares "she never puts a foot wrong," and The Telegraph calls her "a great, sassy frontwoman."

Lauri Apple · 06/26/11 05:34PMHow Sick Is Hugo Chavez?
Max Read · 06/26/11 04:02PM
No one has seen Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez for two weeks! (Well, not no one, but you know.) He flew to Cuba on June 10 for surgery on a pelvic abscess, speaking to media two days later to say he was fine, but he apparently hasn't returned to Venezuela since. According to the not-exactly-trustworthy government, Chavez is recovering well, but rumors abound that he is suffering from prostate cancer and may still be in "critical condition" in the hospital. (His daughter and mother were reportedly flown to Cuba, "urgently.") It's kind of unclear what would happen in the event of his death or incapacitation, given that Chavez is more or less an autocrat, not to mention a big jerk. "The US," The Daily Telegraph writes, "would hope to see a less hostile and more market-friendly candidate for the presidency emerge," which is a polite way of saying the CIA is going to be all up in that shit.

Max Read · 06/26/11 02:41PMLast week, America was captivated by the heartwarming story of an unidentified drifter who hid inside a porta potty—like, inside, a porta potty—at a yoga festival in order to watch women, well, you know. Well! The gentleman has been found, and arrested. His name is Luke Chrisco, alias, Skye Oryan, and he began peeping while "living in the woods in France years ago." Shall we hear what he has to say, courtesy the Daily Camera and KDVR?

Max Read · 06/26/11 01:34PM
Well, isn't this how it always happens. Just as we were finished up the third draft of Queen and Country, our adaptation of the mysterious stabbing death of maybe-gay MI6 agent Gareth Williams, it turns out he probably wasn't murdered by a gay lover and stuffed and locked inside a duffle bag as part of an elaborate sex game! The new theory, the Daily Mail reports, or, really, posits, is that Williams was killed by the Russian mafia, on whom he may have been spying as part of a top-secret mission concerning money laundering.
TSA Agents Now Making Elderly Women Remove Their Adult Diapers
Lauri Apple · 06/26/11 12:36PM
Taking disabled people's toys, exposing women's breasts, making women remove their prosthetic breasts: seems TSA agents never stop figuring out new ways to be sadistic. Now comes word that some agents made a wheelchair-bound, 95-year-old woman with final-stage leukemia take off her adult diaper for pat-down purposes.
