Cape Cod Today has what they say are pictures of Ted Kennedy’s yacht dumping diesel fuel into Nantucket Sound. You may recall that Kennedy (an avowed environmentalist) resisted the Cape Wind Project, a wind farm off Cape Cod that would have been a source of “green” energy. It also would have messed up Teddy’s view, so he killed the project in Congress. And now it turns out he’s fine with pouring fuel into the sound. There’s probably a joke I could make about him being used to dumping things in the water, but I can’t think of one…
P.S. The pictures in question date back to 2002. As for why they’re just now running the story, Cape Cod Today says:
Why run 6-year-old photos? The answer is simple — we received them two days ago, sent anonymously to our Investigative Reporter (and Blogger) Peter Robbins.
P.P.S. In honor of St. Pat’s, how about a Teddy Kennedy limerick?
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who treated the Sound like a bucket
He thought it was cool
To dump out his fuel
And when he got caught, he said…
Fresh-outta-rehab Eva Mendes is set to appear as the new, er, “face” of Calvin Klein Underwear.
The fashion house tapped her earlier this year for its upcoming fragrance campaign, and says she was selected to represent its new Seductive Comfort line of lingerie for “fuller figure” women:
“She really embodies the essence of the Calvin Klein brand and we look forward to seeing that carried through in the creative,” said [Tom] Murry [Calvin Klein's CEO]. “We are trying to get across that these new products are for fuller busted, shaplier kinds of women and when we looked at the talent, Eva was right.”
But in what universe is Eva Mendes fat? Or maybe I’m just failing to keep up with all the body euphemisms these days. Like how sometimes curvy means big boobs, and sometimes it describes stomach rolls. Someone, please, tell me when I’m supposed to feel bad about myself.
According to The Scoop, next month’s Radar Magazine cover story is all about how Will Smith and Jada Pinkett are becoming the new faces of Scientology:
In the piece, the magazine said, “The Church has also set its sights on African Americans, opening up a center in Harlem in 2003 and making a strong play for Hollywood supercouple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett.”
It would appear to be working: Not only are Smith and Tom Cruise joined at the hip, but Smith handed out cards for “free” Scientology “personality tests” as a wrap gift to the crew of his new movie Hancock, and he’s been babbling about Scientology in the press for over a year now. He even wielded one of Scientology’s favorite weapons, the lawsuit, against the World Entertainment News Network for misquoting him on the impact of the “religion.” (Smith told a Scottish newspaper that Hitler was just misguided, and implied Der Fuehrer could have been turned around with some help from Scientology, and those silly geese tried to make it sound like Smith was a big Hitler fan. Which he’s not. He’s an L. Ron fan!)
Remember, Will:
“I was raised in a Baptist household and my grandmother would get up out of her casket (if I became a Scientologist).”

Heather Mills was awarded a $48.6-million divorce settlement this morning from Paul McCartney, ending a two-year domination of the British tabloids.
Or is it really over?
Ms Mills complained about the judge’s assessment of her husband’s wealth.
“He also said that Paul is only worth £400 million [$801-million]. Everyone knows that he has been worth £800 million [$1.6-billion] for the last 15 years.
“Paul has always wanted it public because he wants to look like generous Sir Paul.”
…
She said: “I’m so glad it’s over, it was an incredible result in the end to secure mine and my daughter’s future and that of all the charities that I obviously plan on helping and making a difference with — because you know it has been my life for 20 years.”
So she’s going to appeal the decision to ask for more money even though she thinks rich people are greedy, and she slams her ex for posturing as a generous person yet then claims she’s going to donate her winnings to charity. Does she realize how transparent her motives are?
Mariah Carey is Allure magazine’s cover girl for April, and in the accompanying interview she reinforces her good-girl image:
“I’m Mary Poppins: I’m what the buttoned-up girls are supposed to be.”
Then is she implying that Mary Poppins was a total coke fiend? Sacrilege.
Members of her inner circle revealed recently that Mariah has a longtime cocaine habit. According to Hollywoodrag.com:
A very prominent lawyer in NYC, that shares residence with one of Mariah Carey’s producers, claims MC does a bit of cocaine.
The lawyer said one night Mariah was upstairs, and in front of her was “a bowl of coke.” He continued by stating, “she uses it on the regular.”
I was shocked to find out from several of those who have at one point been in Mariah’s circle, that she indeed has used cocaine at different points in her career.
In related news, the Banks family is shocked and saddened by this turn of events and blames her relationship with that sketchy chimneysweep gang.
