Mel Gibson’s Baby Mama Attending Sunday School at His Church

Mel Gibson is in the process of building a huge 9,000 square foot chapel on his property in Agoura Hills, Calif., and his concubine Oksana is reportedly taking classes to learn the teachings of his ultra-conservative Catholic sect:

“This is Mel’s dream church and the center of his world,” an insider told the Enquirer. “He’s a devout traditionalist Catholic and views the chapel as his own house of worship where he can pray privately with family and friends.”

Oksana – who gave birth to Mel’s eighth child, daughter Lucia, on Oct. 30 – is taking catechism classes at the church, according to the insider.

“It’s important to Mel that he and Oksana are of the same faith,” the source added. “She’s learning the doctrines and traditions of his conservative sect.”

Gibson financed the chapel’s construction, and Lucia will soon be baptized there, said the insider.

The chapel’s crowning glory is the huge mural behind the altar.

“Mel handpicked an artist to paint a modern interpretation of the ascension of Christ,” said the insider. “He’s also commissioned someone to cast a bell for the church tower. Mel says he is more proud of his church than any of his other achievements.”

Do you suppose “thou shalt not turn your back on 29 years of marriage” is one of the teachings? Probably not.

Jon Gosselin and the Angry Inch

That pinnacle of journalism Life & Style magazine is reporting that Playgirl has offered dad-of-eight Jon Gosselin $20,000 to reveal his Little Jon in a centerfold:

If Playgirl ever asks Jon Gosselin, 32, to pose nude, he may be a little insulted by the offer. “We discussed it, and we’d offer him only $20,000,” Playgirl rep Daniel Nardicio tells Life & Style exclusively. “His star is extinguishing, and he’s not very [well endowed]” — as Jon’s exes Hailey Glassman and Kate Major both recently revealed. “Honestly,” says Nardicio, “it’d be more of a novelty than an actual sexy shoot.”

But since no one thought to ask Jon for a comment and he can’t afford a publicist anymore, he offered this on Twitter:

So wait. Is he saying he would never stoop so low, or no one has asked him yet? ‘Cause for a minute there, it sounds like he’s about to make a moral argument about how his good Christian values would preclude him from doing such a thing, but then he gets all “your people haven’t called my people to work this shiz out.” Maybe he realizes that twenty grand can buy a whole lot of Ed Hardy.

Heidi Montag: New Boobs, New Morals, New Playboy

The new (but arguably not improved) Heidi Montag Pratt is in negotiations with Playboy to do a second photoshoot now that plastic surgery has rendered her unrecognizable from the first time she posed for the girlie mag less than a year ago.

Super-committed Christian that she is, last time she refused to show her nipples because she was saving them for Jesus. But things have changed now that she’s hurting for cash and Hugh Hefner’s praise:

“She is currently speaking with (Playboy photographer) Matthew Rolston (about) a steamy, soapy, shower concept showing her boobs through the shower door,” said the source. “The figure being discussed for the exclusive is in the seven figures.”

“She could use the money, and she’s finally ready to pose topless, so she is negotiating with the magazine,” according to one of Montag’s friends, who spoke to In Touch Weekly.

Remember Mother Teresa’s soap-on-a-rope centerfold? Me neither, but it could have awesomely been titled “Bad Habit.”

Mother Teresa Not Fit For A Stamp?

Forget about the Presidential Medal of Freedom and that little thing called the Nobel Peace Prize. (Okay, bad example…) But it’s obvious, at least to the folks at the Freedom From Religion Foundation, that the Postal Service has no business putting super-humanitarian and all around do-gooder Mother Teresa of Calcutta on a stamp.

Why? It’s the nun thing.

Freedom from Religion Foundation spokeswoman Annie Laurie Gaylor told Fox News that issuing the stamp runs against Postal Service regulations because, quite simply,

Mother Teresa is principally known as a religious figure who ran a religious institution. You can’t really separate her being a nun and being a Roman Catholic from everything she did.

…There’s this knee jerk response that everything she did was humanitarian, and I think many people would differ that what she was doing was to promote religion, and what she wanted to do was baptize people before they die, and that doesn’t have a secular purpose for a stamp.

The Postal Service, of course, disagrees. As far as they’re concerned, the Mother Teresa commemorative stamp has nothing to do with her religion. As Postal Service spokesman explained:

“Mother Teresa is not being honored because of her religion, she’s being honored for her work with the poor and her acts of humanitarian relief,” Betts told FoxNews.com.

“Her contribution to the world as a humanitarian speaks for itself and is unprecedented,” he added.

I have to wonder: Where was the outrage when the USPS announced the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1979, and Malcolm X in 1999? The FFRF didn’t even raise a collective eyebrow

CBS = Christian Broadcasting Service?

UPDATE: CBS is reportedly considering running a Super Bowl ad produced by a gay men’s dating website.

Say a prayer for me. I’m about to get controversial.

In a “why am I not surprised” move, CBS executives have decided that it would be perfectly consistent with their “longstanding policy of not accepting advocacy advertising” to air a pro-life (Ahem. excuse me, pro-family) ad during this year’s Super Bowl.

The $2.5 million, 30-second spot is sponsored by Focus on the Family and stars the bible-verse-eye-blacked Tim Tebow and his mother. Who is really glad she chose life, now that her son will soon be richer than Peyton Manning. As the Colorado Springs Independent reports:

The Focus ad supposedly features the story of University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother. Pam Tebow and her husband were Christian missionaries in the Philippines in the ’80s, and during her pregnancy with Tim she developed amoebic dysentery. Doctors told her the strong drug they used to kill the infection had likely damaged the fetus, and they suggested an abortion. Pam refused. Tim was born healthy, won the Heisman Trophy in 2007, led Florida to the national championship a year ago and is a likely top draft pick in next spring’s NFL draft.

Don’t get me wrong. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Tebow making an ad for a cause he believes in. Did you catch that? I’m going to say it again just in case: Tim Tebow, who does God’s work by winning football games, loves Jesus, unborn babies, and his momma, should make any pro-life-pro-Jesus-pro-whatever ad he wants to. Go for it. Good for him. (And good for Him too.)

And really, there’s nothing wrong with CBS deciding to air the ad (to be fair, the final decision has yet to be made), except for one little thing.

Kirstie Alley Headlines Weight-Loss TV Show, Book, Website

Kirstie Alley is reportedly at her all-time heaviest weight at 265 pounds and has sworn to her friends that she will lose 70 pounds by June 15 to coincide with the launch of her newest weight-loss ventures.

The National Enquirer has an inside source:

Kirstie’s anguish came to a head after overindulging in a decadent Jan. 12 birthday dinner. Her teenage children, True and Lillie, had taken her for a celebratory feast at her favorite Asian fusion restaurant, Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, where Kirstie indulged by eating dumplings and chocolate cake.

“Her birthday dinner was a major diet slip-up, and it sent Kirstie over the edge,” said the insider. “She’s insisting that she’s finally got her workout and diet regimen under control, but that just isn’t so.”

Kirstie recently launched a weight-loss Web site to tie in with her new A&E reality show, she’ll soon publish a book, and she’s been boasting for months that she’ll be unveiling what promises to be a revolutionary diet and exercise system.

The website, Phitter.com, apparently just reposts diet-related content — by her and others — from Twitter.com. (Like this, for example.)

Kirstie Alley’s weight-loss chronicles are well known to anyone who glances at the sensational ‘bloids in line at the supermarket (or, um, this site), so who would follow her crazy Scientologist fat-loss program after watching her weight fluctuate give or take 120 pounds? Failing repeatedly at something for 10 years doesn’t make you an expert, and selling unhappy people advice on how to conquer demons that she still wrestles with seems like a lose-lose situation for everyone involved.

Study confirms: Deceiver.com balances out the universe

edwardsHere at Deceiver, we don’t think of ourselves as doing much good for society as a whole. We rank ourselves somewhere between a colon cleanse company and Ipecac manufacturers. We have a great product, but we make a lot of people feel sick inside.

According to a recent Northwestern University study, though, we are helping restore balance to the universe. Yep, you heard me right.

It turns out that powerful people really do hold those beneath them to a much higher standard than they hold themselves. So nyah-nyah, it’s not just our enlightened proletariat opinion anymore. The study also confirms that people who don’t feel entitled to power let “the deceivers” get away with it.

We try not to let that happen here, of course. That’s the whole point. We play bookie to the social order, tilting the whole thing back toward center. And our mission has just been legitimized by science. (What WILL we use this new found power for?)

BREAKING: Pope Endorses Birth Control

pope-benedict-hi-sign

Well … Not really.

But His Holy-Rollerness Pope Benedict did make another impassioned plea for the faithful to become — wait for it — environmentalists.

From his New Year’s speech in St. Peter’s Square:

I would like to underline the importance of the choices of individuals, families and local administrations in preserving the environment. An objective shared by all, an indispensable condition for peace, is that of overseeing the earth’s natural resources with justice and wisdom.

As you can imagine, every big environmental  group on God’s Green Earth™ is promoting this quote. (Here’s the Natural Resources Defense Council, for instance.)

Maybe Pope Benedict missed a memo. Part of the climate-hope-and-change program that’s been made necessary because WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE™ includes — wait for it — population control. Apparently, we’re killing the planet by overpopulating it. So some of us have got to go. Or at least we shouldn’t all be having so many babies.

Oops.

Hop on the Copenhagen Bus! Or Don’t.

Did you know the delegates at Copenhagen have their own bus? Do you have any idea how lonely the driver is?

“We’re standing at the abyss! Mankind is doomed if we don’t do something right now! Um… as long as it doesn’t interfere with my personal convenience and comfort.” At least that guy in the clown car was committed to the concept, if not his own dignity.

There’s so much going on with Climategate that it’s hard to keep up, you guys!

You’d think these guys would be happy that we’re all gonna be okay. But then they wouldn’t have such a convenient excuse to boss us around.

No Sleep Till Carbonhagen

carbonhagenLet’s say you want to save the world. You’ve spent years telling everyone that mankind is irreversibly altering the environment with our SUVs and incandescent light bulbs and cell phone chargers that we leave plugged in even when we’re not charging our cell phones. You insist that if we don’t do something about it right now, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE FROM GLOBAL WARMING.

So, how do you show that you really believe the words that are coming out of your mouth?

Not like this (courtesy of the Daily Telegraph):

On a normal day, Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen’s biggest limousine company, says her firm has twelve vehicles on the road. During the “summit to save the world”, which opens here tomorrow, she will have 200.

“We thought they were not going to have many cars, due to it being a climate convention,” she says. “But it seems that somebody last week looked at the weather report.”

Ms Jorgensen reckons that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen next week has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up on Thursday and ordered another 42. “We haven’t got enough limos in the country to fulfill the demand,” she says. “We’re having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden.”

“It’s too cold to walk from the hotel to the convention on global warming. Let’s take a limo!”

And then there’s the delicious cherry on top of the hypocrisy sundae:
