Charlie Sheen’s Sleazy Reality TV Life

By Elizabeth C.

FORGET TWO AND A HALF MEN, GET CHARLIE SHEEN A REALITY TV CONTRACT STAT!

Was there ever a better subject for one? If LaLaLand’s highest paid actor isn’t smacking around exwives, he’s losing ritzy cars down ravines, getting locked up in rehabs, and trashing luxury hotel rooms during trysts with highpriced escorts.

CELLULOID MYSTERY

Did A Time Traveler Visit The Set Of Charlie Chaplin’s Circus?

DOES THIS VIDEO CAPTURE A REAL TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE?

Belfast filmmaker George Clark swears the portly woman walking in this shot of Charlie Chaplin’s 1928 film The Circus is talking on a cell phone. After studying the film for a year, he’s convinced the butchy woman is a time traveler from another era.

Clark has posted a clip on YouTube seeking to generate a worldwide debate on just what he’s found on screen.

It couldn’t possibly be promotion for his “award-winning” Ballad of the Bone, whose poster is conveniently situated behind him in the video?

THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE

The Good That Comes From Gawker’s O’Donnell Tattle

By Elizabeth C.

I CONFESS: I LAUGHED WHEN I READ GAWKER’S STORY BY AN ANONYMOUS PHILADELPHIAN WHO ROMPED IN THE SACK WITH THE TEA-TOTALLING CHRISTINE O’DONNELL.

I was amused that a mere three years ago, a candidate for the U.S. Senate had knocked on a near-stranger’s door, assumed herself into his life for a night, adorned a ladybug Halloween costume and kicked back some beers. She sounded like a lot of fun.

Nor was I aghast or appalled by the revelation that her muff management does not include Brazilian waxes, although I did find the author’s dismissal of her for having pubic hair cringe-inducing. He doesn’t sound like a lot of fun.

Julian Assange: Force-Feeding Truths For Which America Has No Appetite

By Alex Moore

IN 1971, DANIEL ELLSBERG LEAKED A TOP-SECRET internal government document about the Vietnam War known as The Pentagon Papers, which confirmed to the public for the first time what many people had long suspected: the US government had lied.

While Lyndon Johnson had told the public he intended to deescalate the war effort, the Pentagon Papers revealed what he was actually doing: massively escalating and authorizing bombing missions into Cambodia and Laos.

Ellsberg risked jail time, assassination, being accused of treason — everything — in order to expose the truth to the world. It was the first tangible evidence ever that the government had flat-out lied to the people.

Mr. Draper Loses His Trousers And Other Cautionary Mr. (Mad) Men Tales

Staff

THEY WERE SLIM AND CAPTIVATING AND CHEAP, JUST LIKE OUR VERY OWN DON DRAPER.

‘They’ are the pocket-sized Mr. Men and Little Miss series published by Roger Hargreaves beginning in 1971.

Populated by titles such as Mr. Clumsy and Mr. Greedy, Little Miss Sunshine and Little Miss Fickle, the series’ characters personified their names. And in each tiny volume, there was a lesson imparted to wee readers.

Now the estate of Hargreaves has collaborated with AMC Television to bring out six new volumes for adult readers based on characters from Mad Men. And like the original books, each new book contains a cautionary tale hinted at in the title.
