He was nowhere near a boxing ring, but that didn’t stop Mike Tyson last night. The crazed ex-jailbird started an amazing brawl at a pre-fight press conference and BIT British world champ Lennox Lewis on the leg.
Suddenly Tyson ripped off his leather beret, strode over to Lewis’ entourage. Continue reading »
A Steubenville man, Eric Montgomery, was charged with felonious assault after he threw a pit bull dog at a police officer and then barricaded himself in his house.
Police confronted the obviously disturbed man who picked up one of the two pitbulls in his hands and screamed “Don’t come any closer, I know how to use it!”
Officer McCafferty was backing away from the house and slipped on some ice. The Montgomery then picked up one of the dogs and threw it at the officer. The dog flew toward the officer, who fired at it.
Unfortunately McCafferty had failed to attend the academy class “How to shoot at flying pitbulls” and was completely taken by surprise.
Montgomery barricaded himself in the house but emerged a half-hour later when he discovered all he had left to throw at the officers’ was his son’s 2 year old gerbil, “Scrumpy”.
NEW YORK—After less than a year with Virgin Records, Mariah Carey is leaving the record label and taking with her a cool $49 million.
According to Soundscan, the breakup follows the release of Carey’s first album, “Glitter”, with the label which sold a disappointing 501,000 copies, a sharp contrast to her success with previous label, Columbia Records.
Carey could not be reached for comment, however, EMI’s new chairman, Alain Levy, added that EMI was prepared to offer Carey an additional $10 million if she would just, “show us her boobies already.”
NEW YORK—”Les Miserables” played for the 6,138th time in New York on Friday night, making it the second-longest running show in Broadway history.
The epic musical, which traces intertwining lives in 19th-century France, swept past “A Chorus Line,” which had a 6,137-performance run from 1975 to 1990. The next target is “Cats” – which closed in New York in 2000 after a Broadway-record 7,485 shows.
Friday night’s audience included a number of original “Les Miserables” cast members, including Colm Wilkinson (who played the original Jean Valjean), Judy Kuhn (Cosette) and David Bryant (Marius), to the delight of gay men everywhere.
WASHINGTON—President Bush will ask Congress to set aside at least $100 million for experimental programs aimed at getting single welfare mothers to marry, but is resisting conservative pressure to require that states push marriage in their welfare programs.
The Bush plan, which will be submitted to Congress on Feb. 4, will offer a pot of money – at least $100 million each year, according to one official – for experiments aimed at getting poor people to marry. The administration will also suggest that states be required to explain what they are doing to promote marriage, forcing them to at least consider the issue.
Apparently, under the Bush plan, some of the money will go to providing shotguns to the fathers of unwed daughters so that they can provide them a “traditional southern wedding”. Bush believes that the federal government has a responsibility to not only support these unwed mothers, but to also support their deadbeat husbands as well.
WASHINGTON—Vice President Dick Cheney, the first Bush aide to predict the United States might be heading into recession, said on Sunday he believed the economy was recovering but was uncertain about the pace of the recovery.
“I think the economy is recovering,” Cheney told ABC’s “This Week with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts” program. “The question is how fast it’ll recover.”
In his best estimation, Cheney believes the economy will recover sometime between “now and when the Earth is destroyed in a cataclysmic super nova event”.
