Ellen DeGeneres reveals in the latest issue of Allure magazine that her stepfather molested her as a teenager. While speaking about her messy breakup with actress Anne Heche, the talk-show host said her stepfather insisted on feeling her breast while DeGeneres' mother was fighting breast cancer. She said the incident later escalated into "other things" and her stepfather, now deceased, tried to break into her bedroom. "I had to kick a window out and escape and sleep in a hospital all night long," DeGeneres told Allure. DeGeneres said she's speaking about the incident because "it's important for teenage girls out...

I once had a friend named Fred who did some professional wrestling for a brief time. It was an amazing experience to visit Fred’s apartment because it was always filled with incredibly UGLY women who were like Fred’s sex slaves. They catered to his every whim. On top of that they gave him money and whatever else he asked. Finally I asked Fred about this and he told me that he discovered that it was really easy to get really ugly women to do whatever he wanted. It was simple. Fred was actually a fairly good-looking guy so he...

Fabiola Armitage is back on television, only instead of a campaign ad the focus has been on her mugshot. Armitage is a Kerry supporter and a strong believer in stem cell research. She's featured in an advertisement urging Floridians to vote against Amendment 3 on this year's ballot. The amendment would cap how much money a lawyer can make from a medical malpractice lawsuit. St. Johns County Sheriff Deputies arrested Armitage for grand theft and battery this week. They say she had 78 campaign signs supporting George Bush and Mel Martinez in her trunk. Armitage tells First Coast News that...

America's morning TV sweetheart, Katie Couric, wasted no time on Wednesday trying to turn the beheading of Americans in Iraq into political ammunition - asking the brother of executed hostage Jack Hensley if he still supported the war.

O'Reilly just said no WMDs in Iraq is the same situation as CBS coming up with forged memos. And that Michael Moore's reaction to WMDs is the same as the right-wings reaction forged memos. Time to out this creep for what he is. A self-indulgant phoney. I've never been so outraged in my entire life. You expect crap from the mainstream press, but the guy "looking out for you" is only looking out for Bill O'Reilly and how he can get elected to public office. What a disgrace.

''Monster'' star and best actress nominee Charlize Theron never imagined awards nominations. In fact, back when she was making the film she couldn't even envision a crowd of close to 1,000 sitting down together to watch the drama based on the life of lesbian serial killer Aileen Wuornos. ''When we closed AFI, 800 people watched it at the Dome. I never ever imagined 800 people watching this movie at the same time in the theater,'' Theron said from New York City, where she prepping for the film's junket. She also had the added task of producing the film in addition...

With VERY few exceptions (thanks to the people that were human and to people that wrote me privately) you people are a bunch of fundamentalist zealots. You aren't conservatives...you're fascists. You make me embarrassed to be a Republican.

hy, oh Y, are men so insecure? The darlings have been fretting for some years now that they may be rendered unnecessary if women get financial and biological independence, learning how to reproduce and refinance without them. What if nature played a cruel trick and demoted men, so they had to be judged merely by their appearance, pliability and talent for gazing raptly at the opposite sex, no matter how bored? New research on the Y chromosome shows that my jittery male friends are not paranoid; they are in an evolutionary shame spiral. As Nicholas Wade wrote in The Times:...
