Kathy Griffin had the extreme pleasure of bumping into Michele Bachmann at a political event; the two ladies recognized one another and when they started to speak an assistant filmed the exchange, supposedly for Bachmann's website. Kathy, always on top of her game, decided to ask the tea party princess if she'd attend a rally to repeal DADT — and when Bachmann said no, Griffin followed up with, "Were you born a bigot or did you grow into one?" Boom. More »

According to one interviewee in The New York Post, "Big-name comedians have what the Rolling Stones have for music groupies. It may not even be sex appeal; it's like laugh appeal. They're assholes." Comedians call such women "chucklefuckers." Funny! More »

Turns out Britney Spears is not hooking up with her bodyguard (as previously reported) and she is "100% single," at least according to her manager.

With all this talk about Aliza Shvarts and her (im)possible abortions, it got me thinking about how women decide whether to keep or terminate a pregnancy. For those of us have gotten pregnant, was the opinion of the dude who knocked you up ever the final say in your decision of whether to keep it or get an abortion?
