The sex charges against Michael Jackson grow more bestial by the day. Just when you thought the King of Pop's reputation couldn't sink any lower, it turns out Jackson's former brother-in-law James DeBarge has claimed the singer was up to some inappropriate monkey business with his chimp, Bubbles.
DeBarge, whose marriage to Janet Jackson was annulled in 1985, alleges that back when he was living with the Jackson family, he came upon an eye-popping sight.
"He was changing Bubbles' diapers and just got carried away," DeBarge said in a 1993 interview, which we've obtained. DeBarge added that during the alleged incident, Bubbles, who was "just a baby," "had a smile on his face."
The musician said, "Michael would call the trainer and have him bring Bubbles over to spend the night once in a while when he wanted some company."

"Unlike many issues, this one is going to impact everyone equally - and soon, too," says Laurie David, who personally invited Rupert Murdoch to the event when they ran into each other at the Oscars. "Scientists studying climate change are now saying that they underestimated the speed and severity of global warming." [Oh, my sides.

For more than six hours yesterday a 92-year-old Harlem woman banged on the walls and desperately screamed for help after she was impaled on a bathtub faucet, officials said.
Between noon and about 6p.m., residents ignored the noise, thinking someone was working on the plumbing at 45 E. 135th St. Two neighbors finally used a key to get into the 8th-floor apartment and found Thelma Riley naked with a four-pronged metal faucet knob stuck in her lower back.
"She was lucky," said Lt. James McCluskey of the FDNY's Ladder 30. "It's a good thing she didn't bleed out."
Fire officials said Riley, who lived alone, slipped and fell while taking a shower.
"She's a wonderful lady," said one of her neighbors at the Riverton apartments. "She's an elegant woman. I'm devastated by the news."
Firefighters found Riley in the seated position with the sharp cold-water knob painfully holding her prisoner. She was conscious and talking as emergency workers gave her oxygen and tried to keep her calm. Within minutes, Kevin Shanahan fetched a pair of bolt cutters and handed them off to Greg Williams. Both are firefighters assigned to Ladder 30. Williams cut the stem that connected the knob to the faucet, freeing the woman.
Firefighters covered Riley in a sheet and placed her on a gurney in the hallway. She was taken to Harlem Hospital with the knob still in her back. She was in stable condition last night after getting the knob removed. (NY Daily News)
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
Listen to the whole thing:

That's so wierd.
I really don't understand how that could happen?!
That was funny!
I heard that story on the radio during my drive home.
When I heard the story, I didn't even consider that the knob got her from behind.
Jamie was reported to have said some naughty words and left refusing to meet Bill and his group.
I seem to recall Jamie refusing to give Bill special treatment during a previous trip, this certainly "kicks it up another notch.":)
More craziness:
WAS Hunter S. Thompson's mysterious death really a suicide?
There are some serious irregularities surrounding the demise of the gonzo author, who was found shot to death in the kitchen of his Woody Creek, Colo., ranch on Feb. 20, and local cops seemed to have done a lackluster job of investigating.
Police reports obtained by the Rocky Mountain News note that cops arriving on the scene heard shots being fired, that Thompson's son, Juan, was allowed to be alone with the body, and that there was something odd about the gun Thompson supposedly used to kill himself.
Before his death, Thompson seemed in good spirits and was not known to be depressed. And considering his long-winded style, the absence of a note seems strange — he'd typed only the single word "counselor."
There were no eyewitnesses to the shooting, only an "earwitness" — Thompson's wife, Anita, who was on the phone with him at the time and who later drank scotch with the corpse. Her account of the incident is inconsistent: She alternately has said that she heard a loud, muffled noise and that she heard nothing but clicking.
The behavior of Juan, who was in the house at the time of the shooting, also was unusual. Pitkin County Deputy Sheriff John Armstrong said that when investigators arrived on the scene they heard shots, but Juan assured them he had merely been firing off a salute to his dead dad. Investigator Joseph DiSalvo also let Juan enter the kitchen alone and drape a scarf over the body.
And in his report, Deputy Ron Ryan noted the semi-automatic Smith & Wesson 645 found next to Thompson's body was in an unusual condition. There was a spent shell casing, but although there were six bullets left in the gun's clip, there was no bullet in the firing chamber, as there should have been under normal circumstances.
DiSalvo said he did not check the gun, adding, "I think a bullet from the magazine should have cycled into the chamber" unless there was a "malfunction." A spent slug was found in the stove hood behind the body.
Conspiracy theorists make much of the fact that Thompson had been working on a far-fetched story about the World Trade Center attack at the time of his death.
As Canada's Globe and Mail reported, Thompson had "stumbled across what he felt was hard evidence showing the towers had been brought down not by the airplanes that flew into them but by explosive charges set off in their foundations." (Page Six)
"The reason I've never come out and risked my position is because there's never been anyone I felt was worth taking that risk for," she tells us.
That is, until she met Barack Obama during his campaign for an Illinois U.S. Senate seat. "Barack feels like the truth to me," Winfrey says. [Although she'd probably prefer he felt like a ham sandwich]
She says she hasn't been bothered by Obama's go-slow approach - for instance, his cautious questioning of Secretary of State Rice during her confirmation hearings. "I'm pleased that he understands there is a growth period, that he is the new kid on the block," she says. "He has to sharpen his pencils first before he can go at it."
And if he needs more pencils, Oprah can certainly afford to buy him some. Rush & Molloy
From the same column, barf alert:
The New York Times' new columnist John Tierney won't need anyone to introduce him to his Op-Ed neighbor Maureen Dowd. They used to be lovers. The two started dating back in 1979, when they were reporters for the Washington Star. Writing for a women's magazine, Dowd said she knew the end was near when she found a little black dress that wasn't her size in Tierney's closet. ...
Is that the way Michael Douglas got rid of her, too?
It's nice to see that not everyone is intimidated by the Clintons.
Crazy Chicken...LOL!

People walk along the shoreline on Miami Beach, Fla., Saturday, March 5, 2005. Thousands of South Florida beachgoers turned out to take in sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70's while parts of the rest of the country still endured winter-like conditions.
Trying to figure out dems is making me batty. They can't really believe their "we can't get our message out" propaganda,,, can they?
The murder of the Chicago judge's husband and mother are just awful. Chris Matthews did a rather sympathetic interview with Matt Hale's mother, (1st interview) it was very creepy.
it had to show up when I'm in nylons and a skirt.
Btw, I hope your knees have thawed out by now, brrrrrrrrrr!

Oy, any convoluted myth to blame the evil GWB. I hope the police are taking a careful look at the son. Other stories tell of how Mr. and Ms. Thompson fought frequently.
Maybe Blubba got the hint this time? From 2003:
Clinton showed up at Oliver’s place without a reservation and demanded a table for 12. But the restaurant was full. Much to the Slick One’s chagrin, the staff at Fifteen refused to throw out their non-celeb patrons to make room for Willie and his entourage. So says the Daily Mirror. The Left Coast Report is curious whether Bubba went into one of his famed purple rages to match the pickled beets. NewsMax
In other news:
DON'T insult British Prime Minister Tony Blair's wife, Cherie, if you value your job. Piers Morgan, former editor of London tabloid The Mirror, claims in his memoir "The Insider" that Cherie connived to have him sacked because he published a feature mocking her skin along with "Posh Spice" Victoria Beckham's. Morgan writes that at a private dinner after he was fired, she told him: "You did this whole thing about celebrities with terrible skin and put me next to Victoria Beckham. Now, that girl has got awful skin. I have always been known for having very good skin for my age. I mean, look at my skin - it's good, isn't it?" (Page Six)
