Stuck in the ’80s Denver correspondent and former co-host Chase Squires had a near butts-out hug experience with ’80s teen queen Deborah Gibson last weekend at Pride Fest Denver.

Out of the Blue!  Now, tell me you just read that and didn’t start singing that song in your head.  “Shake your love!  Just can’t shake your love!”  Man I loved Debbie Gibson’s tunes back in the day.  Yes, I’ll say Debbie Gibson.  Screw this Deborah crap.  She’ll always be that cute broad wearing the Blossom hat.

I’ve gotta say she looks quite good for a 39-Year-Old.  Many of these teen idol types tend to get washed up but Debbie is apparently making a comeback.  So she decided to work those abs and get ready for the spotlight.

I just hope that light winds up being in an abandoned motel somewhere and the next words she hears are coming from a director saying “time for the money shot.”

Just kidding Deborah!  Love you honey

Does anyone care about this stuff now?

From USA Today:

Doyle Brunson was in prime contention when he quit the 1972 World Series of Poker. He said he was ill, but that was a fib.

Brunson left because some news reporters and TV cameras started showing up at Binion’s Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. Back home in Texas, he had kept it a secret that he played poker for a living.

Now, with the World Series marking its 40th year, thousands of players from around the world are drawn to its spotlight. TV coverage and attention far beyond what Brunson encountered are part of the allure. Surprise winners have become the norm, and the WSOP has made that a selling point.

Look, even I’ll admit that Poker was getting kind of cool after Chris Moneymaker won the entire thing back in 2003 (he also apparently went broke right after winning). I even started playing Texas Hold ‘Em online. But poker is a different animal. I’m glad I didn’t get sucked in.

You look at all these dudes who play for 10-12 hours online a day. Then you actually meet them in person? Pretty sure they’re the same people who wind up at Star Trek conventions and Porn Conventions putting up the photos they take in plaques and stuff.

What it comes down to is this:  You’re watching a bunch of very not good looking guys who are tremendous dorks winning tons of money right in front of you. That might give some people “hope” but it sure as hell annoys me.

I’d rather just watch Baywatch.

I swear to God guys I was trying to figure out something better to write today.  And since Madoff will be rotting for the next 150 years I felt I had to at least make some mention of the story.

Now it’s Madoff’s wife Ruth whose in the news.  She’s “breaking her silence.”  Good God are we going to get sympathetic now?  I sure as hell hope not.

I hope that Ruth winds up on The View or something and gets completely trashed by that panel. Well, what would be much better is if she wound up on Regis and Kelly with a new book called “my husband’s getting pumped and I have no money.”

At least on that show she could hang with Kelly.  Don’t they look alike?  I think there’s a little Meg Ryan in there too.

As Emirates flight 241 approached the runway on its inaugural flight into Toronto yesterday afternoon, a few audible gasps could be heard from the crowd gathered against the windows of Terminal 1. There was no debate: this aircraft was enormous.

Um.  Yeah.  This thing is an absolute monster.

Introduced into commercial service in October of 2007, the Airbus A380 is part of a new class of “superjumbo” airliners that not only carry a larger number of passengers on long-haul flights, but also introduce a new standard of luxury. Emirates is to be the largest operator of 380s, currently with five in service and fifty-three more on order at a cost of $19 billion.

From High Def televisions to stairwells to minibars to your own shower, this Airbus is no joke.

If you were looking for hot blonds, oil, and sexy bodies showcasing their love for each other you picked the wrong day.  If you were looking for hairy pits, buzz cuts, and women that could easily beat you up, then you should have shown up at any of the Dyke Parades that went on this weekend.

If there’s a reminder out there that lesbians being merry in a naked and sexy way doesn’t exist outside of a strip club or a porno movie, then the Dyke marches that take place every year certainly bring me back to reality.

Good God these women would destroy me.  I can’t imagine the stench from the vegan diets and petruli oil.

I should have watched the Gay Pride Parade.  That thing is way more interesting.

Pride!

After reports of Michael Jackson’s death there are tons of new articles going around showing tribute for the late pop star.  Many of the articles are glorifying the man, and quite frankly many blogs out there are trying to take advantage of this news by posting Michael Jackson lists, etc etc.   I just find it curious because if he were still alive would the Michael Jackson molester jokes still be coming?  You’re damned right they would.

Am I denying Jackson’s star power?  No.  Was he an amazing entertainer?  Guy was probably the most influential and captivating pop star in the history of the world.  It’s a toss up between him, The Beatles and perhaps Elvis as guys who got the biggest rise out of an audience than anyone.

And don’t get me wrong.  The guy was fantastic as a kid and well into the 80s and early 90s.  His musical success should certainly be noted.  But are we forgetting something here?

Michael Jackson was a child molester, through and through.  And that in my eyes warrants no sympathy.  Personally I think taking advantage of a child is worse than murder.  So while Jackson’s musical career may have been one of the best of all time, it doesn’t excuse the fact that he was an extremely problematic and bad person.

You molest children?  You’re not a good guy, period.  Let us please not forget this when we’re revering him over the next week.

From Reuters

Taiwan began a process of legalizing prostitution Wednesday making the island the latest place in the world to decriminalize the world’s oldest profession.In six months, authorities will stop punishing Taiwan sex workers after prostitutes successfully campaigned to be given the same protection as their clients, a government spokesman said.

“Now the client gets off free, but the prostitute gets punished, and that’s not fair,” spokesman Su Jun-pin said.

Get it?  Client gets off free?  Ahahahaha.

Seriously though, after years and years of heartache and all the saving, my dream has come true.  I remember as an adolescent I dreamed of one day visiting Taiwan and grabbing myself a lady who would utter the words “me so horny” to me.

And now, after nearly 15 years, I can finally spend over two thousand dollars on a flight and then an extra 10 bucks to hear those words without any repurcussion.

Thanks Taiwan.

Or I could just go to Vegas and not care the least bit about this news.

From the Examiner

While Crooked Houses probably weren’t aware their product would be showcased side-by-side with the downer of the Jon and Kate divorce announcement, those were the cards they were dealt, and while cute whimsical playhouses and the dissolution of a family of 10 aren’t simpatico, the company certainly gained a lot of eyeballs on their product.

And I’m sure plenty of other product endorsements will now go down the drain with what might be the lamest divorce announcement in the history of the universe.

Can we move on please?  Is America really interested in this Gosselin crap?  The woman is an 80s rockstar reincarnated and the husband is basically an ovary.

We really don’t need this stuff hitting the front page of anything.  Let’s go back to steroids or something.

From My Phil 17:

A woman snapped this photo of bees taking over a car at the Plaza. The scene is on the third floor of a parking garage at 435 Nichols. Plaza security had to help the driver out of the lot, but she drove off late Tuesday after her shift on the Plaza with the bees still attached to her car.

I have new found respect for people in Philadelphia.  Actually you know what?  I take that back.  You have got to be the dumbest person in the world to get into your car with well over 300 bees attached to it.

I mean really?  “I mean, the plague, come on.”
