Remember that terrible mother who said she gives Botox and "virgin waxes" to her 8-year-old daughter to improve her chances at beauty pageants? Good Morning America tracked her down. Apparently Kerry Campbell—an aesthetician who regularly injects botulims into her daughter's face—is real, and says she's doing nothing wrong.
Facebook's craftiness has backfired—again. The company just admitted it was behind a shadowy PR effort to plant negative stories about how Google is destroying your privacy.
Sen. John McCain took to the Senate floor Thursday to condemn waterboarding and other torture techniques, saying that the debate over these techniques is ultimately "about morality. What is at stake here it the very idea of America."
Whoaaa. Last night's edition of American Song Death was sort of an intense one! There was religious controversy, sass-mouthing of the judges, and an all around weird, crackling energy that reminded us: we're almost done with this bitch.
What do Courtney Love and the Taliban have in common, besides being harbingers of the West's decline? They both have twitter accounts!
Are you a 20-something who often reminisces wistfully on your high school prom, the most magical night of your life? The time when you felt beautiful, before the marriage and the kids and the end of discretionary "fun" activities, at age 23? Because you like your kids, I mean, you love them, of course, as well as the part-time job at the Dress Barn, and hubby Rick is really the apple of your eye, always will be, even if he's gained a few pounds since high school, but back then on prom night there was just this sense of, what, is "possibility" the word you're looking for? Yes, well. Never mind. Dreams really do come true.
The special election for New York's 26th congressional district seat — the one left vacant by our beloved Craigslist Congressman, former Rep. Chris Lee — is 12 days away, and the race is rapidly becoming hilarious. Mostly because of the rich, 78-year-old buzzard running as a third-party candidate on the "Tea Party" line, Jack Davis, whose healthy poll numbers could help deny Republicans a victory in this extremely conservative district. So who is this guy, and why is he slapping cameras?
On April 19, the Hotness herself, Olivia Munn, and the so-hot-we're-sweating-just-thinking-about-her Selita Ebanks lit up Las Vegas at the launch party for SKYY Infusions® Dragon Fruit, the newest addition to SKYY's line of all natural infused va-va-voom vodkas.
Hollywood highnesses Olivia and Selita held court over the crowd, dancing, drinking, and pretty much enticing everything with eyeballs. Can you see why they call dragon fruit the forbidden fruit? Watching these girls have a night out in Vegas was something your mom would have probably forbidden.
We owe the night and the joy of watching Olivia and Selita slither around to SKYY, who transformed PURE Nightclub inside Caesars Palace into a tropical Garden of Eden—if the Garden of Eden had caged dancers in elaborate body paint covered in feathers and strategically placed snakes. Yes, snakes.
Since you couldn't be there, here's how to get your own drink on with the ultra-yum, fantastical berry taste of the SKYY Infusions Dragon Fruit adult refreshments served that evening: you can find recipes and libation recommendations when you follow SKYY Infusions Dragon Fruit on Facebook or on Twitter @SKYYVodka #SKYYDragonFruit.

Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP garden plan raises eyebrows. Leo and Bar Rafaeli break up. Lindsay Lohan's probation report says she was secretly drunk this whole time. Thursday gossip catches Miley Cyrus' attention.
This megastar lured someone to his Vegas hotel room and gave the person herpes—and now there's a $20 million lawsuit in the works. This actor hit his wife. And this celebrity is getting ready to come out next week. Could the dude with the herpes be gay and forced out of the closet as well?
In the cutthroat market for Trend Stories Centered in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, it pays to be the early bird. Not only does the neighborhood, populated by desperately trend-hungry fauxhemians, constantly cycle through the very latest microtrends; but its status as America's prototypical "hip neighborhood" means that even the merest hint of a new Williamsburg microtrend is almost immediately packaged and distributed by the equally trend-hungry media, to be feasted upon by the voyeuristic, trend-hungry public.
Andrea Peyser, an angry tabloid sex columnist in New York City, is an expert on all matters military, thanks purely to her hatred of gays and Muslims. Today, she uses that hard-earned sexxxpertise to pick apart the most recent outrages against Army and Country by Commie crosstown rag "The New York Times."
Imagine blowing through a stop sign, then getting Tasered eight times by cops for it? That's what happened to 43-year-old Allen Kephart in in Blue Jay, California this week. A San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman, Cindy Bachman, told the Los Angeles Times that Kephart was pulled over and "became combative and uncooperative." Then this happened:
As intelligence analysts pore over the stash of documents recovered in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, a picture of a "micro-manager" is beginning to emerge. For instance, he thought Joe Biden wasn't worth the time or effort to target, but authorized targeting the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and other top military brass. But there's more!
Meatpacking District hellhole Tenjune, besides serving as a microcosm of all that's wrong with humanity, is also owned by a dude who possibly likes to jerk off in front of his employees — according to a lawsuit filed by four employees, that is. Mark Birnbaum, the club's co-owner, is facing allegations that he "[M]ade unwelcome sexual advances, requested sexual favors, and engaged in inappropriate and illegal verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature with plaintiffs, all of whom are young female employees at the lounges." Classy.
A very important bill landed on Texas Governor Rick Perry's desk yesterday — one that would make it a a crime to lie about the size of a fish caught in a freshwater or saltwater tournament. Apparently this is a widespread problem in the Semiautonomous Region of Texas, and one that has lately rocked the world of high-stakes professional angling.
Exciting news, Madofficionados! Yet another chance to own a piece of America's little Ponzi-schemin' dumpling is soon upon us. 58 lots from Bernard Madoff's personal wine cellar — hand-selected, the auction house director tells the NY Post, by someone who was "clearly not a connoisseur" — will hit the auction block next week.
At Coal Cares — a new initiative from Peabody Energy, the world's largest coal company — you can order cool inhalers for your asthmatic kids, so long as you live within 200 miles of a coal plant. I'm partial to The Bieber, but there's an inhaler here for every taste — even one studded in fake Swarovski crystals! If it all sounds too good (or too awful) to be true, that's because it is. The entire coalcares.org website is a fake, created by The Yes Men — those Swiftian agitators with a talent for mounting elaborate practical jokes. Peabody, however, is very real, and an army of their lobbyists are currently attempting to block what would be the EPA's "first-ever national standards for mercury, arsenic and other toxic air pollution from power plants" — legislation that could prevent 120,000 new cases of childhood asthma per year. As the Bieb might say, that's kinda lame. [coalcares.org, image via Coal Cares]
