This sorry beeyotch just keeps getting rewarded for her outrageously bad behavior.

Cripes. This is something I definitely won't read or watch. I couldn't imagine anything more boring.

Just damn...


Hope she contributes some to the city/county/groups that spent so much time in their search for her.

Who should play Wilbanks?

"Doris ('Everybody Loves Raymond') Roberts should play Wilbanks. This will show beautifully how you age when the press hounds you relentlessly," said Antoinette, of Hoover, Ala.

"Kristin ('Sex and the City') Davis should play Wilbanks," said Cindy from New Hampshire.

"I adore Julia Roberts, so I'm hoping she gets the role. She's a natural," said Aries. Alisa from Georgia agreed that Roberts would be the perfect fit.

"How about Jennifer Lopez?" said Natasha, of Sacramento, Calif. (Meanwhile, how about a congratulations to J.Lo? She and Marc Anthony celebrated their one-year anniversary Sunday.)

"Cameron Diaz…if she dyed her hair," said Brigette

Puke! Another book deal hawking bad and criminal behavior.

Commit a crime, sell a book.

Judge Napolitono (sp) on F&F this morning mentioned the Son of Sam law. As a felon, Georgia prohibits Wilbanks from profiting on her crime.

According to Fox News, Georgia has a law that a convicted criminal cannot benefit financially from their crime. So it will be interesting to see what she gets out of any movie or book deal.

Wilbanks Audio Tapes Released

Asked by an agent whether she resisted the attack, Wilbanks is heard saying, “Not to a great extent. I said please don't do this, but I didn't put up a fight. I was just too scared to, I guess."

“I've been doing this job for a long time, Jennifer. I think something happened and you said I just can't do this on Saturday,” the agent says on the tape. “And it's okay if that happened, it's okay."

"I just cracked under all this pressure, and I just, I mean, I couldn't do it all. I couldn't and have the perfect wedding that everybody thought I was supposed to have,” Wilbanks said.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. And then I was like, I only have Friday off... I've got to get my pedicure and manicure, done. I've got to pack for this honeymoon, and I don't even know where I'm going."

"I was like there is no absolute way that I'm going to get all this done, there's no way. Anyway, I just said, I'm leaving, I can't do it,” Wilbanks said. "I love John. I just, it wasn't even, it was just about the stupid wedding."

Is it possible that anyone is still interested in this non story?

[zarf]

Is that Todd Rundgren?

[Quilla]

The Judge addressed that as well. She would still benefit if the money went to her husband-to-be.

I don't know. You clicked on the link.

You're right. Not only he will be richer, he will also have access to a lot of "natural" silicone.
