  • Is it really over between Madonna and Guy Ritchie? Madge has apparently hired England's toughest divorce lawyer, Nicholas Mostyn—the same guy who handled Paul McCartney's split with Heather Mills—so the answer looks like yes. [Holy Moly!]

Rudy Giuliani, Family Guy

abalk2 · 03/08/07 10:20AM

Back in 1993, when Rudy Giuliani was making his second run for mayor, his strategists felt a need to soften his image and show that he wasn't just the guy who would lead a group of racist policemen in yelling "Bullshit!" in front of City Hall. They came up with this ad (entitled "Gentle") which featured then-wife Donna Hanover praising her husaband's family values. As it turned out, he had so much love for family that he went and got a whole other one. Still, in light of recent developments, fun to watch!

Giuliani Brat Estranged from Rudy, Own Neck

Choire · 03/03/07 05:10PM

Was there anything more emblematic of New York City's depravity and decay in the 1990s than the brief celebrity of Andrew Giuliani, spawn of hell? Horrifically combining mom Donna Hanover's WASP entitlement with dad Rudy's ethnic-white resentment, roly-poly Chucky-doll-look-alike Andy bounded across the local news in what was, in hindsight, our first warning of the terror and fascism to come. Really, if character-concerned voters are going to fault Obama for not having the will-power to quit smoking, shouldn't Giuliani be immediately disqualified for, you know, not spanking that kid more? As reported in the Times today, spoiled rotten Andrew ended up hating his dad anyway. Yep, it's the evil stepmother's fault.

Donna Hanover Shills Sex for AOL

Not sure how we missed this, but Donna Hanover — the former Ms. Rudy Giuliani, thrown over for the ex-NYC mayor's secretary and current wife — has chugged her womanly reclamation train to AOL. Hanover now serves her dark net master as "love & sex coach," dispensing video tidbits of startling simplicity. Is it OK to have sex with the ex? "It's up to the two of you!" chirps Hanover helpfully. So much for realizing that nonconsensual grudge-fuck rape fantasy. The New York Daily News imagines what Hanover might have advised her replacement in the Giuliani household: "if you respect marriage, probably the best thing to do is back off and go a different direction." The NYDN then crows "Too late for that!" in response to its own quotation misappropriation. Burn.
