Halloween:
You knew this had to happen. In the aftermath of last week's story about JASMINE TRIDEVIL, the 21-year-old Florida woman who claimed she'd had a third breast added to her chest so she could get an internet gig and also become unattractive to men, HalloweenCostumes.com has created a do-it-yourself costume that allows anyone with the will and desire to be a three-breasted woman!
The costume company says they just overlapped and hot glued two pairs of "super drooper boobs" together, covered them in shiny pink fabric, grabbed a black wig, and you're ready for that selfie! You can add bronzer to the fake boobs as needed to match your skin tone as closely as possible.The Internet:
If you identify where you work on any of the social platforms you frequent, your boss could insist that you post a disclaimer. Something that states that your views are your own and not your employer's.
If you don't post where you work, you don't need to do it. All this is in the latest memorandum from the National Labor Relation Board's Division of Advice.
ERIK SASS writes Marketing Daily's social media blog and observes, "Of course it's an open question whether the vast majority of social media users will be aware of, or choose to observe, these rules. At least until their boss tries to fire them." (Kaye)On, off and way-off Broadway:
Heeeeeeere's Johnny... on Broadway! Playbill.com says "Carson --The Musical" will be workshopped in New York City from December 9th through the 12th. The show is based on the recent tell-all book by Johnny's former attorney and close friend, HENRY "Bombastic" BUSHKIN. Characters in the musical include ED McMAHON, former NBC president FRED SILVERMAN and JOAN RIVERS. (Marino)
DUI of the Day:
Olympic champion swimmer MICHAEL PHELPS was pulled over on I-95 inside the Fort McHenry Tunnel in Baltimore yesterday around 1:40 am after cops noticed he was driving 84 mph in a 45-mph zone and crossing the double lane lines. He was arrested for driving under the influence after he couldn't perform a field sobriety test.
Later, Michael issued a statement saying "I understand the severity of my actions and take full responsibility. I know these words may not mean much right now but I am deeply sorry to everyone I have let down."
In case you were wondering, Michael has been in trouble before... in 2004, when he was just 19-years-old, he was also popped for drunken driving and sentenced to 18 months probation.Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places:
A barbershop in Australia features lingerie-clad stylists that do more than just cut hair.
The Sexy Scissors salon in Darwin just got their liquor license. So, now they'll be serving up beer to customers, in addition to giving them haircuts and plenty of eye-candy. Customers over the age of 18 get the first beer free, but they have to pay for the second one. Owner RIMA STAFFORD says the beverage selection also includes wine "for the ladies." (Still) -
