rose mcgowan : who knew?



i bet you forgot she existed. remember when she dated marilyn manson?

well, yesterday i read this pretty interesting interview with her, and today it turns out she's been fired by her agent for exposing some adam sandler sexism in this tweet, though i suspect it also had to do with the content of the interview, which was fairly critical of the hollywood system in general.

i guess i've never heard him speak before.


bizarre.

also, last night there were some RiOtS!!!
The scandal, and the fallout from it, has left Penn State’s normally placid campus in a state of shock. Scores of students poured into the streets downtown in the immediate aftermath of the news conference. Many held up cellphones to take pictures and others blew vuvuzelas and air horns. A few climbed lampposts, tried to topple street signs and knocked over trash cans. Others set off firecrackers from the roofs of buildings, and a television news truck was flipped on its side. A lamppost was torn down and police pepper-sprayed some in the crowd. (via)



ours were better.

how do you fire someone who's already dead?

turns out he's still alive. but not for long:
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno’s tenure as coach of the Penn State football team will soon be over, perhaps within days or weeks, in the wake of a sex-abuse scandal that has implicated university officials, according to two people briefed on conversations among the university’s top officials.
The board of trustees has yet to determine the precise timing of Paterno’s exit, but it is clear that the man who has more victories than any other coach at college football’s top level and who made Penn State a prestigious national brand will not survive to coach another season. (via)
thx libby!


here's an interview with a sports journalist lady from YES who attended penn state and has covered their football program. interesting insight.
