Take Ben Stein's Money
-
Headline of the Week: "Ben Stein begged me for nude pictures while I was pregnant." Oh, it gets more disturbing. Last month, Stein wrote a column in The Spectator talking about how, at 69 years old, he's still getting "mad crushes" on every beautiful woman he meets, and now a 24-year-old performance artist made the headline claim and says that Stein begged to "touch" her (the quotation marks are the New York Post's, and use your imagination there) while she was pregnant, too. And there are text messages that are really disturbingly lecherous. Yes, he's married. And he says he did nothing wrong and claims she came to him for money and he explicitly said in his texts that he did not want to have sex with her (he used the colloquial word for that). In his telling, he was merely trying to help out someone whose writing he had liked, and she's trying to extract money from him. But the texts are pretty, um, ew. (New York Post)
