Dean Tong is an “internationally known family rights and forensic consultant on child abuse, domestic violence, and child custody cases.” He has appeared on stupid Dr. Phil and awful Nancy Grace as an expert on false abuse accusations, which you can read all about at his site, abuse-excuse.com.
That experience is going to come in handy, because:
Cops near Tampa responded to the home of Dean Tong, 51, after receiving a frantic call from his wife the night of Jan. 21… Tong was booked for alleged domestic violence and tampering with a witness. He was released on $1,000 bail…
“During the argument, he grabbed [his wife's] arm, slammed the door into her foot, and took the phone away from her when she attempted to call law enforcement,” Hillsborough County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said yesterday.
Tong was arrested in 1998 for alleged burglary and in 2001 for domestic violence, but wasn’t prosecuted for either one. It’s like they say: Do what you love, and the rest will follow.
Two weeks ago Dr. Phil quasi-apologized for talking about visiting Britney in the hospital, but the media frenzy surrounding her latest psych ward commitment has proven too great a temptation for the good doctor to resist:
“I don’t think [Spears’ current hospitalization] surprises anybody. All I’ve ever tried to do is help. By that I don’t mean doing therapy, because I don’t do that anymore, but I’ve always felt like let’s get her to the right kinds of professionals — ones that could provide psychological and psychiatric support … Certainly I haven’t been called or contacted. I know just what everybody else does. If this [current hospitalization] starts her on the road to getting some intervention, then that’s a good thing.”
Hasn’t the past month proven to anybody that his weighin in IS NOT HELPING!? So much for regretting making a statement about Britney’s mental situation…
Soccer “star” David Beckham, last seen sporting a t-shirt with his wife Victoria’s naked, airbrushed body on the front, has decided to make things more permanent by having her image squirted into his very flesh:
The marking on his left forearm depicts Posh as a naked angel surrounded by stars and is the first to feature a picture of her.
The seven-inch tattoo winds around a previous design which spells out her name in Hindi. It is a replica of a photo of her taken in a shoot for Pop magazine in 2004…
Beckham reportedly wants to have his upper torso covered in tattoos like Prison Break hero Michael Scofield.
The sleeve design on his lower arm was last year reported to be inspired by Wentworth Miller’s character in the hit US TV show.
So much for “Protect the Skin You’re In”! More like “Deride Your Hide.” If he’s going to imitate a TV show, why can’t it be Lost? As in, that’s what he should get.
Jezebel drew my attention to the new Bravo show Millionaire Matchmaker, which follows a dating service that pairs really rich men with really hot women.
Patti Stanger, the CEO of the Millionaires Club and star of the show, is a complete psycho hose beast. But pretty entertaining in her total self-unawareness. She rails on the quality of the gold-diggers who’ve applied to her agency for a set up:
“Attractive… attractive… no. What’s with the hair up? You’ve got to tell the girls to stop putting their hair up… Frankly these are plain. Plain Janes. I give them ‘7’s.”
And while watching a man’s application video in the very next scene:
“Can you give me someone who wants a real woman and isn’t affected by looks? I’m so nauseous, I want to vomit every day when you send me this cr*p. ‘I want perfect 10 looks. Problem is, I’m not a perfect 10.’ Millionaire men perpetually were geeks in their youth. Once they make a few bucks they automatically think that gives them the card to get into the cool club.”
That reminds me… Can the screenwriters’ strike end soon? Please?
