3 Things in Common

Slash and Steven Adler now have three things in common -- Guns 'N' Roses, rehab, and they were both granted a restraining order yesterday against the same woman.

Adler alleges a woman in Oregon named Lisa Jill Martin-Cahn hired at least three private investigators since '08 to hunt him down ... "under the ruse" they were long lost lovers who met in rehab back in the early 90's.

Adler's docs, filed in L.A. County, say cops who visited Cahn at her Oregon home last month found "unopened boxes of house ware items which Cahn stated were wedding presents for her upcoming marriage to Adler."

Slash fits into this freak show like a leather glove, He claims Cahn has contacted him and his family members -- including his mother-in-law -- by phone and letters in desperate attempts to get in touch with Adler.

Both restraining orders were granted yesterday -- Cahn has to stay at least 500 yards away from both guys, their families, work .....

Stupidity In Action

Lame Ass Duck

Sarah Palin quit on her stool as governor of Alaska Sunday night, talking about leadership as she did. She clearly imagines herself to someday be the next President of the United States, getting to tell guys like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad where to get off, yet leaves whining about a bad joke from David Letterman. You rarely get political farewells this funny outside the state of New Jersey.
Always with Palin there was this cockeyed idea, usually from the yahoos on the right, the frauds who treat her as being real, that if you attacked her, you were attacking working moms and the “real Americans” she talked about in her speeches, the ones who live far from big cities. Or that you were somehow threatened by this strong woman. From the start, there was as much substance to that as there is to her political thought, which you could fit inside a golf ball.

Florida Prudes Vote to Discriminate

He wasn't fired because of his performance -- but his wife's.
Former Fort Myers Beach, Florida Town Manager Scott Janke appeared on "The Early Show" Friday to discuss why he was canned from his job. And the reason -- his porn star wife Anabela Janke -- was at his side on the show.
Scott, who married Anabela in October, was fired at an emergency meeting Tuesday after the mayor and council members learned the nature of her employment. Scott, the town manager for 15 months, was unanimously voted out, terminated with six months pay.
The firing came after Anabela, who goes by the stage name Jazella Moore, was recognized by an editor of an online adult entertainment publication after a photo of the couple on the Fourth of July parade was published in the local paper.

Chicago's Wise Guy

Mark Buehrle bought watches for his teammates two years ago after throwing his first no-hitter.
He might want to purchase a special gift for Dewayne Wise after Wise made the most dramatic catch of his career in the ninth inning Thursday to preserve Buehrle's perfect game in the 5-0 victory over the Rays.
"This one will probably be a lot more expensive," Buehrle said after Wise robbed Gabe Kapler of a home run that would have ruined Buehrle's signature moment.
Wise had been inserted into center field for defensive purposes in the top of the ninth before Kapler launched a drive to left-center. Wise had played in because he didn't want Buehrle to lose his perfect bid on a bloop hit or broken-bat single.

Vandalized Vegas

Welcome to the violent, angry, high-stakes world of Las Vegas. Or rather, what happens to that world when the area's most iconic sign gets vandalized. Although not located within the boundaries of the city itself, the 60 year old, Betty Willis-designed sign has come to be the first thing people think of when "Vegas" comes to mind (doesn't hurt that it has the name of the city right there, we're thinking). So when someone took a red sharpie and scribbled on some unintelligible babble onto the bottom of the sign, the locals went nuts. Las Vegas' mayor called for the offing of heads (albeit in a very tongue and cheek way), people wrote in letters to the LA Times's Las Vegas blog (we love the fact that they do, but why does this newspaper have a Las Vegas blog?) complaining about no good kids and "street art" in general, and the comments following the stories in the local papers were often filled with seething, fist-shaking rage.

The Tracks of Michael Jackson

Photos of Michael Jackson have just been released, showcasing a serious injury on the superstar's right leg.
The photo is from 2002 and the injury in question may have resulted from contact with a "highly caustic, acidic fluid," which would damage the skin and cause it to turn black. An experts tells ABC News: "On the photographs of Michael Jackson, it looks like there was necrosis on his lower leg where there might have been fluid that went into his lower leg. It looks like there are multiple puncture points from IV placement… If, in fact, he had an IV here, and the IV fluid, which may have been acidic fluid, went into his skin, it might may have, in fact, destroyed the skin. That's all dead skin that would then make an ulceration underneath that skin."
From the photo, along with the ulceration, there are evident needle markings and punctures along his skin. This new evidence just adds another log to the fire, fueling the rumor that Michael had a serious drug addiction

The Watergate, made famous by the 1972 burglary, will be auctioned Tuesday after owners Monument Realty, a Washington real estate developer, defaulted on a $40 million loan balance, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

You've got to be kidding...

The financial crisis has been laced with moments of true hilarity, and even as the world appeared to be collapsing most of us have found it in ourselves to laugh, one time or another, at the absurdity of it all. But not, apparently, the people at the Treasury's Bureau of the Public Debt, whose senses of humor have declined in inverse proportion to the deficit. As evidenced by the meeting this spring when J.P.Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon was rudely rebuffed when he tried to hand Secretary Geithner an Ed McMahon—style TARP-payback check, they have utterly lost their senses of humor. So they're looking for someone to come in to conduct an in-house humor program. New York Magazine blurb HERE

Speed Traps Be Gone

For decades, police have parked their cruisers behind billboards and overpass pillars to snag a common prey -- speeding motorists.
Shannon Atkinson, who launched Njection.com, offers speed-trap locations for free on the Las Vegas-based company's Web site but charges people who download to their GPS unit.
He came up with the idea because people are concerned about the cost of fines.
"More people are looking at it because speeding tickets cost more," he said. "Most communities are not looking to increase safety. They're looking to increase revenue."

Air America Yanks Breakroom Live

This is sad, slightly bewildering news: Air America is taking the delightful “Breakroom Live” off the air. Announced: Yesterday. Last show: Yesterday.
The show, daily at 3pm, is a live webcast starring Air America stalwarts Sam Seder and Marc Maron, both of whom are accustomed to having shows canceled on Air America, but still. The hosts announced the move — where else? — on Twitter, and engaged in a final show that was only slightly bitter (Maron: “I don’t give a fuck - I’m so tired of giving a fuck, I can’t even tell you”).

Brad Pitt Gets Wired

Brad Pitt is on the cover of the August issue of Wired Magazine. Why is Brad Pitt on the cover? Because Brad is giving apparently very bad advice on correct 21st century technology culture behavior. Excerpts:

• On Ashton Kutcher posting a picture of his wife's butt on Twitter: "Don't take a picture of your wife's butt. That's silly. Take pictures of other people's wives' butts."
• On looking for love on the internet: "Everyone lies online. In fact, readers expect you to lie. If you don't, they'll think you make less than you actually do. So the only way to tell the truth is to lie."
• On using the phone while you're taking a pee or poo: "No, you can't talk on the phone! Do you want the guy next to you to hear your entire conversation?
• On texting while you're taking a pee or poo: "Just be sure you don't hit the wrong button and end up putting a photo of your junk on Twitter. Trust me, you don't want those followers."

But despite its size and whiskery age, the fish was no match for the skills of 11-year-old Jessica who waged a 20-minute battle to land her prize.

Unreleased Michael Jackson Song

The song -- "A Place with No Name" -- sounds a lot like the song "A Horse with No Name" released by the group America back in 1971. Seems America's manager gave his group's permission for Jackson to record the song.
America's current manager, Jim Morey, who was also Michael's manager in the late 80's and early 90's, said, "The band was honored that Michael chose to do their song and they hope it becomes available for all Michael's fans to hear."
And since America hasn't had a hit in 30 years, the check would be NICE as well...

Tight Jeans & Tingling Thigh Syndrome

It turns out that the “tingling thigh syndrome,” or meralgia paresthetica, which usually occurs with people that are obese or manual laborers, is appearing in younger people. The high demand of skinny jeans on the market has caused teens and twenty-somethings to suffer from the symptoms of this particular condition. Experts say that they have seen a rise in this condition especially among young women. One woman actually described the feeling a tingly sensation that runs up and down your thighs while you are wearing the tight jeans.

Conspiracy Goes to Court

The Army has revoked the deployment orders for a soldier who said he shouldn't have to go to Afghanistan because (he believes) Barack Obama was never eligible to be president.

Taitz has also challenged the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency in other courts.

The Failure of Arnold Schwarzenegger

Schwarzenegger presented himself to the public as a can-do action figure who would knock heads in Sacramento and bring sanity to a state that had gone off the tracks during Gray Davis' five years. But on the budget, Schwarzenegger, like Davis before, bet wrong that the economic good times would last and overextended the state's spending programs. For all the hoopla surrounding Schwarzenegger's election in 2003, the Terminator has been a timid governor, much like the man he replaced. Neither the Hollywood superstar nor the career politician had the combination of insight, political skill and grit to deal with the mounting fiscal crisis.

And that appears to be just what Prince, Paris and Blanket want most.“All three want Janet to read to them at night,” a Jackson family friend says. “They just melt into her arms when she walks into the house.” The feeling is mutual, adds the insider.
