Rod Almighty

While somebody who threatens Michael Barrymore with physical violence can’t be all bad, it’s hard to find anyone in his native America who has a kind word to say about Big Brother housemate Dennis Rodman or his agent Darren Price.
Responding to an unflattering review of his client’s New York book signing – Rodman turned up dressed as Beetlejuice and then sulked over the sparse attendance – Price zapped the Deadspin webzine this gramatically-challenged email: “How pathetic are you or maybe financially compared to Dennis. How broke are you or sexually. You probably have not had the women your whole life that Dennis has had just in the past year. Dennis Rodman did not need to stand there you asshole and soak up media yesterday. He did what he always did and that is cause a riot with the paparazzi who was loving every minute of it. You must have been one of the loser kids in high school who always got beat up right or just a 3rd rate writer as you proved here barely getting by in life as you really have achieved not 1 million of one percent of the success and over coming odds like Dennis Rodman has.”

Meanwhile, Caught In The Net is getting its frock and fishnets dry cleaned for Miss Pink Philippines, which takes place on February 5 in Dublin’s Temple Bar Music Centre.
Possibly not one of the things Pairic Pearse and his revolutionary pals were fighting for, it nevertheless shows how far Ireland has come culturally since the storming of the GPO.

From there it’s but a mere mouse-click to www.lowmorale.co.uk/creep where the people behind the ‘JCB Song’ video have come up with an ace piss-take of the Radiohead ditty. Not to be viewed if your pet budgie has just died.
Which leaves time for quick visits to www.kissonline.com (Gene Simmons & Co. are going into the coffee business); www.eclectech.co.uk/gullible.php (James Blunt parody site issued with ‘cease and desist’ notice); and www.jlist.com (fellatio woman mouth simulator, anyone?)
