SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Celebrity lawyer Nancy Grace savagely attacked a Michael Jackson fan outside the Santa Maria courthouse yesterday, as the vigil preceding the jury's verdict in Jackson's child molestation trial continued. Grace, 45, was conducting sidewalk interviews among legions of Jackson faithful when a man in the crowd yelled, "Who let you out of your cage, Tweety Bird?" Before the man could escape—which would have been difficult, as he was in a wheelchair—Grace slung him to the ground, leapt on top of him, and bit his right ear, severing the earlobe.
"I'm damn sick and tired of people calling me that," Grace screamed. She kicked the man repeatedly in the groin before she was finally subdued by police.
As Grace's star has risen at CNN, where she recently was given her own prime time talk show, she has become increasingly more sensitive about her uncanny resemblance to Tweety Bird. Last week she announced that she had filed a $300-million lawsuit against the creators of the lovable cartoon character. Grace alleges that as she has become a recognizable celebrity, the creators of Tweety Bird have drawn him to look more like her "because they hate what I stand for."
Most people who witnessed Grace's demonic outburst at the courthouse were not surprised. The diminutive attorney earns her living by bullying guests on talk shows. She is known for her lack of subtlety, manners, and fair play—as well as her grating voice and rampant sexual hostility toward men. She once bit the head off an O.J. Simpson doll on camera during the short lived television show she co-hosted with Johnnie Cochran in the mid-1990s.
Grace, who professes a love for Shakespeare, particularly the character of Lady Macbeth, originally planned on teaching English in prisons. In 1980 while she was an English-lit major at Valdosta State in Georgia, her fiancé was fatally shot in a random mugging near his construction job. Grace vowed to become a lawyer, and ever since she graduated from law school, she has conducted a one-woman vigilante crusade against male defendants. She has been condemned by groups as varied as the American Civil Liberties Union and Drunks Against Mad Mothers.
In related news, a spokesperson at Warner Bros. said that Tweety Bird, 62, a co-defendant in the suit against his creators, would have no comment as long as the suit is pending. The reclusive Bird has rarely spoken with the press since 1950, when his original pink color was changed to his present yellow because motion picture censors thought he "looked naked."
I love Nancy Grace.
She's not Tweety Bird; She's Mike Tyson.
Someone should send this to ScrappleFace
Tweety Ping for the Pong King....
Humm-baby. Fiesty little vixen. She obviously went to Mike Tyson Charm School.
SAY... Maybe CNN could pair the two of them up for a show. He bites off her ear, she bites off his... oh, never mind. Jerry Springer already does that.
Still, it couldn't have hurt CNN's ratings any...
I thought it was Scrappleface.
She;s 45, is that right?
I thought she was an A Hole with her comments tonight with the Jury Foreman !
I don't know ... but this site says she was born in 1958

Close enough. I wondered about her age.
Nancy Grace is not the most objective person in the world. she elevates emotion over reason, and she needs to learn humility.
With her biting the earlobe, and her being somewhat of a domme lady character, it would be hard to know if she should be charged with assult and battery; or, maybe a sexual harrassment charge for sexual molestation in a BDSM situation that went bad.????
Just hysterical --ping!
She was hardballing him, she knew the jury was stupid like all of us did... I mean who could possibly think Jackson is innocent???
lol, even I had to laugh at this...............
WITW???
A one-year plus resurrection?
How did this thread get resurected?
