Plenty of Everything

I stayed home last night and watched 60 Minutes II hoping to seeglovercom and his trophy husbear being filmed during their wedding but no go. We saw plenty of Lesbians get married, plenty of men tie the knot but no bears in utilikilts. I'm deeply disappointed! Still, Mayor Newsom was terrific and just; the Lesbian couple interviewed were right - "just have dinner with us and you'll see we're normal folks just like everyone else" and as for the opposition with their bearded spokesperson - fuck 'em.

A Blind Item.

First of all, I did that Google thingy...put in my name and got my picture. No Big woo. Put in my first name and I got a bunch of other people who shared my same first name but nothing remarkable or hilarious like everyone else has been discovering. I put in my Mother's name and got a picture of Endora so that was apropos. (Sorry, Mom).

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who's rather well connected on the East Coast. The latest dish involves a somewhat wealthy straight guy who's gotten himself in a jam. Here's the hetero story:

1. Marries wife #1 who's mega rich. He keeps a mistress on the side. Wifey #1 finds out and divorces him. Just to get rid of him she bestows beau coup buckaroos so he doesn't have to work for the rest of his life.

2. Marries wife #2 who people thought was an heiress but just happened to have invested well. Everything's peachy keen for a few years until the husband meets a gal 20 years his junior who has mega-watt bucks. He falls for her big. She's in her 30's and is as carefree as a butterfly. Tells wifey #2 is time for divorce. #2 is devistated.

3. The 30-something carefree heiress is now labeled as a homewrecker (or "hum-wrecker" as Ricky Ricardo would say). Realizes that her name is now equated with dog meat, she tells wealthy guy that she needs to take a hiatus from the social swells and heads off to some Carribean island for a few days of hiding out and regrouping. Tells the guy she'll be back in a week on this certain flight.

4. The Guy meets her at the airpot. Wanting to cement everything despite all the havoc he has caused, he dashes to the jewlers and buys a 10 carat diamond engagement ring which he has in her pocket. He sees her coming off the plane onto the tarmac but instead of heading into the terminal she...veers away from the other passengers and walks towards the area where the private planes are. Onto the tarmac walks a good looking man her age, they jump into a waiting Gulfstream plane and fly off.

And the guy is stuck with a 10 carat ring in his pocket and a wife who is suing him for everything but his BVD's for alimony.
Serves the putz right.

I told my friend he should introduce this guy to Martha Stewart. They could be quite a pair.
