Sideshow | Rosie aims poetic punch at Lauer for his Craig interview
So, what exactly is the Queen of the Poisoned Haiku trying to say about hard-hitting journalist Matt Lauer? In a post on her blog (www.rosie.com) criticizing Matt's Today interview Tuesday with Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, who was busted for allegedly being frisky toward another man (not that there's anything wrong with that) in a men's bathroom, Rosie writes that the sight of Matt "[grilling] senator craig / and his shell shocked wife / about their sexy gay secrets," makes her sick.
So, what exactly is the
Queen of the Poisoned Haiku
trying to say about hard-hitting journalist
Matt Lauer
?
In a post on her blog (www.rosie.com) criticizing Matt's Today interview Tuesday with Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, who was busted for allegedly being frisky toward another man (not that there's anything wrong with that) in a men's bathroom, Rosie writes that the sight of Matt "[grilling] senator craig / and his shell shocked wife / about their sexy gay secrets," makes her sick.
Is Rosie calling out Matt for his uncouth interview style, or is she like outing him?
See, the former View cohost begins the entire post with this li'l verse: "you know there have been many / whispers about matt lauer / and his marriage woes."
What "whispers" is Rosie subtextually - or intra-textually - referring to? Sheesh, it's hard enough to figure out her surtext.
Rosie had not replied to an e-mail request for comment by press time yesterday.
A federal apparition
David Copperfield
has finally met one probe he can't make disappear: An FBI one.
In its usual Byronic language, the FBI says it "can confirm that there's investigative activity at [a] warehouse" in Vegas where the illusionist stores tricks. The FBI will not explain the why of it.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal cites an anon source who says the case is about "possible sexual misconduct by the illusionist." The FBI is on the case because Copperfield allegedly transgressed a Deuteronomic interdict or two while he was overseas, but against another U.S. citizen.
Are we sure this isn't a Dick Cheney operation? The veep has been jonesing to nab Copperfield's tricks since the Claudia Schiffer era.
Brit. Tire. Foot. Ouch!
A paparazzo says
Britney Spears
drove over his foot on Thursday, hours after a judge suspended her visitation rights with her kids. No comment from
Beleaguered Missy
.
Needless to say, the photog dork was wearing sandals.
Winehouse in doghouse
Seems Norwegians don't take kindly to visitors who need to smoke dope to enhance their experience of the deity's grand affective display, the Northern Lights. Singer
Amy Winehouse
, no stranger to drug scandal, spent a night in jail Thursday after she, her hubby and an unnamed bud were busted for possessing
buds
. They skedaddled out yesterday after paying $715 in fines.
