Parker, cast in the stand-by-her-man role on the show, occasionally throwing in a word or two, is fed up playing second fiddle to the motor-mouth Spitzer, who sucks up all the air during the 8 p.m. Eastern "Parker Spitzer" hour, the New York Post reported Wednesday, quoting unidentified sources. Word has spread in the gossip media that Parker, 58, a Pulitzer Prize winner, walked off the set during a ...
(Sept. 17) -- This evening marks the start of Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday also known as the Day of Atonement and widely considered the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. For 25 hours, Jews around the world will fast as well as engage in intensive prayer and reflection. Although Yom Kippur certainly takes on a more somber tone than its high holiday counterpart Rosh Hashanah, in the spirit of holiday media coverage, the Day of Atonement still generates a comparable and varied news feed: President Barack Obama was called out by the New York Post for pressuring -- through a conference call ...
(July 19) -- Sometimes bad people can inspire great things -- or at least great headlines. At least that's the case for Manuel Hernandez, 28, of Springfield, Mass. He was arrested July 13 for allegedly jumping a 68-year-old man and stealing $354 from him. http://xml.channel.aol.com/xmlpublisher/fetch.v2.xml?option=expand_relative_urls&dataUrlNodes=uiConfig,feedConfig,localizationConfig,entry&id=686529&pid=686528&uts=1279550121 http://www.aolcdn.com/ke/media_gallery/v1/ke_media_gallery_wrapper.swf ...
(June 22) -- For more than 12 years, the Naked Cowboy has made a name a for himself by performing music while clad only in a cowboy hat and tighty-whitey briefs. Now he's whipping out his legal briefs. Back in 2008, the Naked Cowboy (aka Robert Burck) sued Mars Inc. for trademark infringement after the company played a short animation of the blue M&M character playing a guitar while dressed in a white cowboy hat, cowboy boots and underpants on the electronic animation display that hangs outside the M&M's store in New York City's Times Square -- the Naked Cowboy's main venue. Mary Altaffer, ...
(Dec. 14) -- Ashley Dupre -- the woman who helped to bring down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer -- now has an advice column. ...
Asked about his failure to disclose some $700,000 in assets, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) said that there is "nothing to discuss," and blamed the New York Post for launching a smear campaign against him. "I think it's totally unfair for the New York Post to send investigative reporters to my family's homes and to do that type of thing," Rangel said at a rally in Harlem. "I guess it's all selling papers." ...
President Obama's $787 billion economic stimulus package, intended to jump-start the economy and create jobs, is spending tens of millions of dollars to repair and build toilets. Tax dollars are quite literally being flushed down the drain while unemployment is near 10 percent and the economy shows few signs of improvement. ...
Today's the day we (well mainly just the mainstream media and political junkies like me) have been waiting for: The end of Barack Obama's first 100 days in office, marked by a sort of attention deficit approach to fulfilling an overwhelming amount of campaign promises, some ending up good and some bad. ...
Congress waited until it was too late before taking on global terrorism, the sub-prime housing bubble and global warming, but this time they're on offense against the next imminent crisis on the horizon:Monkey attacks!Following the alarming (and decidedly unfunny) mauling of a Connecticut woman by an agitated chimpanzee, Congress has seen renewed interest in a pre-existing bill to shut down the interstate monkey trade. The bill's sponsors say it's not a moment too soon...Backers of a bill to ban interstate monkey sales, debated on the House floor on Monday, thought they had found their moment. ...
Do you get the feeling that Caroline Kennedy's last-minute idea to run for Senate may not be going exactly to plan? As we've been detailing here at Political Machine, the notion that Ms. Kennedy, a dedicated public servant and, by all accounts, a really nice person, just doesn't have the resumé necessary required to join her uncle in the United States Senate. Further complicating her coronation is today's revelation in the New York Post showing that Kennedy has not always participated in that sacred American rite known as voting:Caroline Kennedy, the former first daughter who is making her ...
