I Bet You Think This Pardon's About You: John Forté Free at Last

Jamaal Young -

Y'all remember back in 1997, when Wyclef was still cool and he had all the kiddies boppin' to his hit song, "We Trying to Stay Alive," a rap-inspired cover of the Bee Gee's disco hit of (almost) the same name? Well if you do, you may also recall that one of the rappers featured on that set was John Forté, a real smooth-looking brotha with dreads and a devilish grin who was a major creative force behind the Score, that must-have Fugees album that introducedmost of the world to Lauryn"Only black people shouldboogie to my music" Hill.

So back in 2000 he was busted at the Newark Airport (tear) for intent to distribute liquid cocaine and subsequently sentenced to the mandatory minimum of 14 years. Thanks in no small part to his friend Carly Simon, who has advocated strongly on his behalf that he did not receive a fair trial, it looks like Forté's prison time has just been cut short.

Courtney Love Misplaces $470 million

Joseph Alexiou -

Hole frontwoman and grunge widow Courtney Love has been very busy—raising her stunning daughter Frances Bean, making brilliant records like America's Sweetheart and the much-anticipated How Dirty Girls Get Clean (we're guessing C-Lo hires a cleaning lady), as well as taking various plunges "behind the waterfall." 

So busy was La Love that she only recently noticed that the Cobain estate was missing about $500 million dollars, pilfered by identity thieves who used social security numbers to launder money through real estate ventures. That's right, Love was unwittingly responsible for the sub-prime housing crisis.

Michael Jackson's Yardsale

Joseph Alexiou -

George Carlin famously explained that "Their stuff is shit, and your shit is stuff." When you're Michael Jackson, the shit you have lying around the house is worth a couple thousand a piece. Pounds sterling of course, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Ab Fab: NBC Showcases Olympic Swimmers\' Sweet Spots

Jerry Portwood

The Olympic Games are the time to sit back, relax and admire other people's physiques. NBC seems to have finally picked up on the penchant for more exposed flesh on network television and has even devised a guessing game on its website. It sorta resembles some sort of boy-next-door gay porn site, with headless, objectified men's abs shown before exposing their identities. It's at least worth a little safe for office fun (can you guess who's tummy and nips are pictured above? hint: think gold)... (Something tells me they wouldn't dare do the same thing for some female track-and-field stars.)

Miley Cyrus and Jonas Brothers, The True Heroes

Henry Melcher -

Twenty-four years ago Michael Jackson teamed up with Lionel Ritchie and, under the U.S.A. for Africa name, recorded the hit single “We are the World.” The profits of this venture were aimed at stopping disease and famine in Africa, specifically to stop 1984-85 famine in Ethiopia. Now,  E! Online is reporting that Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are creating their own version of the, uh, classic song. E! cited an inside source saying it’s "Disney's version of 'We Are the World.' It's about kindness and passing it on."

Supposedly the three didn’t want to get involved with accidentally facilitating any hostile governments or militias with deadly weapons and ammunition serving to increase violence and destabilize some African nations as the original song has been criticized for doing. That would just be sooooo Miley. So instead, they decided to pass along some kindness to the world.

World problems? Considered yourselves solved. Thanks kids! Now get back inside, you little rascals, you’ve got homework to do.

Jonesing for Attention: Grace Jones Tribute at the Cock

Joseph Alexiou -

It’s truly special when grungy East Village gay dive The Cock gets so full on a week day that the party spills onto the sidewalk. Tuesdays are normally emptier than Hillary’s snatch, but this week’s strangely warm evening featured a drag tribute to Grace Jones, hosted by Nashom and Gant Johnson, which brought the place to full capacity.

The crowd consisted of older, release-seeking gentlemen confused by the sudden influx of young meat, a rowdy and cheerful spread of various clubland types and a half dozen Grace-look-alikes. And go go boys, the most popular being Israeli hottness Shai, who, along with showing us his religion, used more than words to express to Out Magazine columnist Jesse Archer just how he was feeling that evening...

Lip-synching talent of the evening included an avant-garde face performance of Corporate Cannibal by Ericka Toure Aviance (assisted by couture freak One-Half Nelson), while Kevin Aviance wowed the audience with a massive headpiece and cunty expressions. However the real show-stealer of this near-legendary evening was Mona Foot, who came out of a seven-year retirement to give the crowd more crazy-face and sharp lip-movements than all 128 minutes of Mommy Dearest. Check out the video after the jump.

The Warmth of Winter: The McGarrigle Christmas Hour

Andy Seccombe -

Carnegie Hall was particularly rosy and cozy last night as the McGarrigle family took to the stage for its annual Christmas love-in. “Welcome to our living room…” joked Rufus Wainwright with a sinister laugh, reminding everyone just how awkward, tiresome and spirited Christmases tend to be.

The 30 Most Beautiful People in New York City Politics: Hakeem, Sheekey and Former Beauty Contestant Chelsea-Lynn Rudder

Tiffany Frasier -

Is Assembly Member Hakeem Jeffries the sexiest guy in NYC politics? City Hall news has unveiled its list of the 30 Most Beautiful People in New York City Politics, and we think Jeffries has the most confidence and sex appeal of the entire bunch.

We'd like to think that to make it in the cut-throat world of politics, that brains and contacts are enough. But anyone who knows the ins and outs of policymaking, also knows you that beauty can help make the final decision on Election Day. So we analyzed the “red carpet” interviews of those on the list to see what helps them make it in the competitive circle at City Hall. And we wonder what sort of politicking went on to make the list, cuz there seems to be some serious oversights. Like, where is cutie Council Member Jessica Lappin?
