I DON’T BELIEVE IT FOR A SECOND.
After news broke last night that Us Weekly had “confirmed” that Jon Gosselin was cheating on Kate with 23-year-old Deanna Hummer, the mistress herself spoke out to deny the allegations and claim that her brother — who “confirmed” the cheating — was a jackass. “My brother is making this all up,” Hummel tells People (recall that it was Us Weekly, their competitor, who broke the story last night). “He has no credibility … I can’t even stomach the lies he’s saying about me … My brother is very shady. He has no job. He has a criminal background. He was charged for drug distribution. He’s on probation right now … I’m so hurt that he put my occupation out there. He has put my job in jeopardy. I can’t take my kids to recess without worrying that people will come up and harass me and the other teachers. It’s not fair.”
It didn’t take long for Jon to issue a denial of his own. He released the following statement this afternoon:
These allegations are false and just plain hurtful. As I adjust to the attention that comes from being in the public eye, I need to be more careful and aware of who I am associating with and where I am spending my time. But the bottom line is, I did not cheat on Kate. I am sorry for putting my family in this awkward position, given some poor decisions and bad judgments I’ve made recently. I am working through this difficult time with my family. My family is my top priority
Well, if Jon says the allegations are false, surely they must be false, right? And it’s not at all that Jon is locked in the Gosselin basement with electric prods attached to his testicles while Kate types out a statement and then scrubs furiously at the kitchen floor, right? RIGHT?
Hey there crazy and talented kids!
If you haven’t noticed by now, we’ve got a little feminism/women’s issues blog in the works over at ZeldaLily.com. The site’s only been around for a month, but we’ve already got an awesome audience and a lot of interesting conversations going on over there. We stuck our little toes into the water and it was warm — so we’re looking to produce more content, and, as such, we’re looking for more writers.
Zelda Lily is hiring ONE PAID editor and TWO UNPAID interns. All positions are PART TIME and you will be responsible for contributing at least 4-5 pieces weekly to the site. Obviously we’re looking for female writers, but, ya know, I’m open to considering anyone who thinks they’re qualified, man or woman. And, unlike the Evil Beet positions, the Zelda Lily positions are open to talented writers under the age of 18.
To apply for the paid position, you MUST HAVE professional experience writing for a major publication (ie newspaper, magazine or website). Please DO NOT apply for the paid position if you do not have these credentials and links to your existing, published work, as you will NOT be considered. If you think you’d make a good contributor to Zelda Lily and you’d like to get experience writing for a larger audience, please consider applying for the unpaid intern positions to get some experience under your belt. If it works out, there will be opportunities for you to move into a paid editor role down the road.
To apply, send an email to sasha@zeldalily.com with either the subject line “ZL Editor Application” or “ZL Intern Application.” If you don’t use one of those subjects, you won’t be considered. Please include a cover letter as well as multiple writing samples and/or links to existing blogs. If you’re applying for the paid position, please detail your PROFESSIONAL writing experience (that means you were paid for it) in your cover letter.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hulk Hogan and his girlfriend, Jennifer McDaniel, made an appearance at Brooke’s 21st birthday in Las Vegas hotspot Pure last night. I have so much trouble believing that Brooke is only 21 years old. I feel like this girl has lived four lifetimes already, only two of which she’s spent ratting out her mother’s drug habit to the press. Linda Hogan was, of course, not there, unless she and her boyfriend are hiding in Jennifer’s breast implants. Actually, that’s unlikely, because those implants look like they’re older than Linda’s boyfriend.
And Brooke? Lay off the spray-tan, sweetie. Your father should not be your barometer for an appropriate face color.
This is the look Rihanna sported while on her way to lunch in Manhattan’s SoHo yesterday. Very very different. Thoughts?
ANOTHER victory!!!
Maine has become the fifth state in the US to legalize gay marriage.
“In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions,” Maine Governor John Baldacci said in a statement read in his office. “I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law, and that a civil union is not equal to civil marriage.”
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Separate but equal IS NOT EQUALITY!!!
Way to go, Maine!!!!
