What do you do when your wife asks you what the heck these images of you doing naughty things are doing in your iPhone's "Sent" outgoing mailbox? If you're one man, you blame the event on an iPhone glitch that randomly takes images from your camera roll and puts them in your......
In a story that reminds me of every wedding I've ever gone to where they set out disposable cameras so you can take pictures, some dude took a snapshot of his junk with his iPhone. And, after emailing it to his mistress, his girlfriend found it. Oh snap! So what did the no-good cheating bastard do? Simple, he blamed it on Apple. The Fanboy's excuse was that he had taken the picture but never sent it to anyone. In fact he was so worried about his Iphone taking the picture that he said had paid a visit to the...
Two weeks out of prison with a career comeback getting underway, what better time for a television interview from country singer Mindy McCready, the former mistress of pitcher Roger Clemens? McCready will be on Inside Edition tonight discussing her life in the cockpit alongside "The Rocket," telling the tabloid that their affair was conducted very out in the open, vacationing together throughout. She also says that she left Clemens because "I wanted him to do right by me." That seems to contradict a previous interview with the Daily News where McCready said she never intended to marry him and he...

Fred Baron, a Texas trial lawyer, died last Thursday of cancer. Fellow litigators remember him for the "toxic tort" lawsuits he filed; politicos know him as the man who relocated former presidential candidate John Edwards's mistress, Rielle Hunter, to Santa Barbara, in the hopes of keeping her away from the public eye. But the Internet-obsessed crowd will inevitably think of him as the man who inflicted chesty-news videoblog Rocketboom on them; first, by fathering videoblogger Andrew Baron, then giving his son the funding for his project. Oh, and then suing him over it. Despite that, Andrew sought to have his...
Representative Vito Fossella, NYC's only Republican in the House, was found guilty of drunk driving in Alexandria, VA in May. The judge said, "The court finds the commonwealth has met its burden of proof and finds the defendant guilty." He will be sentenced in December and could face up to five days in jail. The arrest also led to curiosity about the friend who picked up Fossella from the police station and his statement to the police that he ran the red light because his daughter was sick--the friend turned out to be his mistress and the mother of his...
The police officer who pulled over Representative Vito Fossella earlier this year for DWI took the stand today at the start of only NYC's Republican Representative's trial. Fossella's lawyers are trying to argue the validity of various sobriety tests ("An alphabet test, a counting test, two balancing tests and a breathalyzer test"). At one point it was suggested that Fossella wobbled during a balancing test because he was nervous and a defense lawyer asked police officer Jamie Gernatt to perform one of the balancing acts. Gernatt said, "I completed the test and I'm pretty nervous right now." The DWI...
Andrew Baron, the founder of videoblog Rocketboom, has reported that his dad, prominent trial lawyer Fred Baron, is dying of cancer. His one chance, an experimental lifesaving drug, was denied by its manufacturer, Biogen Idec. We won't mention how Fred paid to relocate Rielle Hunter, the mistress of former presidential candidate John Edwards, out of hte spotlight. Or how Baron père and fils fought over the funding of Rocketboom, which Fred supplied. No, we'll just point you to this grotesque demand from a commenter on FriendFeed, Peter Huesken: Might it help to make it even clearer how little time is...
