July 10, 2004 -- A weeping and cursing Courtney Love was rushed from her SoHo apartment to a hospital wearing a camisole and handcuffs yesterday on her 40th birthday, after telling cops she had an abortion. A distraught Love, wearing a lace-trimmed camisole and covered with a white sheet, yelled "What?" and "Help!" after photographers snapped pictures as EMS brought her outside on a stretcher around 6 p.m.
When a medical technician tried to adjust the sheet to better cover her, Love screamed, "F---! Get away from me." Her stretcher was put into the ambulance and she could be heard yelling "Help!" before its doors closed and she was taken to Bellevue. ...
... Then, at 5:15 p.m., 911 received a call from Love's address reporting that a woman was bleeding from the vagina after a miscarriage. Love's lawyer, Michael Rosenstein, said the incident involved "a gynecological medical condition." "It is not a suicide attempt, not drug-related, not drug-overdose-related," he said. full story

This is kind of funny, an account by a former hostess at a trendy NY bar, with anecdotes about Star Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Chelsea Clinton and Barbara Bush (the younger), The Hostess Diary: my year at a hot spot (NY Times, registration required).
An elderly man walks into a confessional. The following conversation ensues:
"I am 92 years old, have a wonderful wife of 70 years, many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Yesterday, I picked up two college girls hitchhiking. We went to a motel, where I had sex with each of them three times."
Priest: "Are you sorry for your sins?"
Man: "What sins?"
Priest: "What kind of a Catholic are you?"
Man: "I'm Jewish."
Priest: "Why are you telling me all this?"
Man: "I'm telling everybody."
Cindy Adams confirms what I suspected, Mrs. Edwards wears polyester!!!She certainly only has one way to go in her appearance and that is up!!!Her children are almost obscenely fashionably dressed-she does not buy their clothes at Wal-Mart, yet she does not seem to care what she wears.
More tidbits:Teresa said to me: "We have an exhausting tour coming up. To make all this work, I'm taking vitamins. Actually, a whole combination of them.(TERESA NEEDS TO READ UP ON MARTHA MITCHELL-SHE THOUGHT ALL THE PILLS THEY GAVE HER WERE VITAMINS TOO, I BET, hee hee) As for the wardrobe, I'm wearing lots of Ralph Lauren. You need pantsuits for traveling and I can't wear too wide-legged ones. His hang easily and look really well. All I really know right now is that next month is going to be crazy."(I HOPE TERESA IS NOT PAYING FULL PRICE FOR HER RALPH LAUREN CLOTHES...STEINMART HAS THEM AT DISCOUNT)
The Candidate Himself, when I asked how much sleep he's getting: "Why, do I look tired? Can you tell I haven't been getting enough. Does it show?"(YEAH, IT SHOWS, LOL)
Gawd, that Courtney is always copying me!
