interns…

Regis with bribe.

AS
BAD AS IT GETS: A woman who claims
that actor Jack Nicholson beat her and left
her with serious injuries after refusing
to pay for sex has filed a lawsuit in a
bid to overturn a 1997 legal settlement
she says she reached with him. Catherine
Sheehan alleges that she and another woman
were promised $1,000 each to have sex with
Nicholson at his home in October 1996. When
she asked for the money later, Sheehan claims
the actor became angry, retorted he did
not have to pay anyone for sex, grabbed
her by the hair, pounded her head into the
floor and threw her into a hedge outside...
... "He broke the law when I was
selling him sex for money!!!"

with me when Hillary's not here," Clinton
told reporters on the South Lawn of the

isn't the first dog he's been caught
sleeping with...

ILLEGAL
ELIAN: President Fidel Castro
will lead millions of Cubans in May
Day rallies Monday, dedicating them
to Elian Gonzalez...
... "Mayday?" Isn't that what
they were yelling in Elian's boat
when he and his mom were attempting
to ESCAPE from that country...?
Meanwhile, Elian's father Juan
Miguel has received permission to
bring four of his son's Cuban playmates
to the United States to keep him
company...
... Playing hide and seek in
the closet from government troopers
isn't enough...?
A child psychiatrist who interviewed
Elian Gonzalez for the government
recommended that his Miami relatives
reconcile their differences with
his father before they are allowed
to visit the 6-year-old Cuban boy...
... Do you get the feeling
that if King Solomon were still
around and ordered the child cut
in two that both sides would agree
to it...?
ELIAN
- WASSUP!!!
