It's believed that Suman suffers from a hormonal imbalance, but her family has been unable to afford to travel to Calcutta for expert medical treatment. WWKAD? What Would Katy Abram Do? • Margaret Bush Wilson, a civil-rights activist and head of the Missouri NAACP, has died in St. Louis at the age of 90. • Jose Garcia-Perlera, who tied up and gagged widows living alone in a series of attacks in 2007 and 2008 in Maryland, was sentenced today to life in prison without the possibility of parole. • The mom in North Dakota who was busted (heh) for breastfeeding while intoxicated can't stay out of trouble: She's been arrested twice since her sentencing. • Poor Tyler Barrick and Spencer Jones. They paid a Utah newspaper to run their wedding announcement, only to have it rejected. The same-sex couple were legally married in California in June and wanted the announcement to run in Jones' hometown before a family get-together next week. "After all, our marriage is just as real and legal and entitled to celebration as any of the others that are announced each week in the pages of The Spectrum," Jones wrote to publisher Donnie Welch. Welch replied: "This simply is not true. While that may be the case in some states it is not the case in the state of Utah. As our policy is to run marriage announcements recognized by Utah law, I have made the decision not to run the announcement." • Planned Parenthood of Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota has asked a judge to prevent the state from suspending its license to perform abortions in Sioux Falls. • A 35-year-old woman known only as Carole — a convert to Islam — was banned from her local pool in Paris for trying to go swimming in a "burquini." She bought the garment because: "it would allow me the pleasure of bathing without showing too much of myself, as Islam recommends." But officials claim the "burquini" is a possible public health risk. Daniel Guillaume, a regional official in charge of swimming pools, says: "These clothes are used in public, so they can contain molecules, viruses, et cetera, which will go in the water and could be transmitted to other bathers." • "Everybody used to say how radical I was. I just thought I was pragmatic." — Billie Jean King, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Wednesday, the "the highest honor a civilian can receive in the U.S." • Scary, but not surprising: Pregnant women who underwent female genital cutting as girls are at increased risk of needing an emergency Cesarean section or suffering serious tears during childbirth. • Filament, a UK magazine for women featuring semi-naked men, is have problems pleasing its audience, which wants pictures of erect penises; its printers, which refuse and object to working with such content; and distributors which won't handle a women's magazine with a man on the cover. Writes Kristina Lloyd, "When set against the plethora of men's lifestyle and top-shelf magazines featuring scantily clad and open-legged women, the struggles faced by Filament highlight a deeply entrenched sexism: Men can look at women but women cannot look at men… The sexism is in the inequality. • Wow: Women's boxing will be added to the 2012 Olympic Games. Boxing was the last all-male Olympic sport.

<![CDATA[Real World: The Most Drinkinest Gal We've Ever Seen]]> As last night's episode illustrated, Jasmine has been drinking herself into a stupor over an unrequited crush she has on some idiot DJ. Many of us have been there before, but luckily, there weren't cameras around to catch it.

Interestingly, Jasmine was the only roommate who woke up on time for work the next day, which has proven to be a problem for some of them.

<![CDATA[Janice Dickinson Drunk And Pilled-Up On Finland's Next Top Model]]> Janice Dickinson appeared on FNTM last week as a guest judge. Attempting to give modeling advice over dinner, she instead exhibited erratic behavior, downed a glass of red wine in a matter of seconds, fell down the stairs, then screamed that the contestants are "all so fucking dumb."

After she landed at the bottom of the staircase she began crying, screaming and ranting, saying "Do something you stupid models! Call a fucking ambulance! You're so stupid! Call a fucking ambulance! Figure something out! All you do is pose. You're all so fucking dumb!"

The screen then went black and a bunch of Finnish text appeared that is roughly translated as:

A quote from the first aid report: The patient fell down the stairs, complains about her right foot/leg and her head. Is shouthing, resists to be checked. No visible injuries. Insists a ride to the hospital because she says she's a sex symbol. In the hospital Janice wants special treatment. The requests is refused as unnecessary. Janice has recovered and wants to meet the girls.

In the next scene, she is a little more lucid and tells the girls that before she met up with them, she had some champagne and then accidentally took "sleeping aids" which she mistook for Vitamin C. She apologized for her behavior and said, "I don't remember the things that I said, and that's wrong."

<![CDATA[ROL: Girls Asked "Not To Be Slutty," Cannot Oblige]]> On last night's episode, the girls were told to be on good behavior for Bret's concert. Instead, they got wasted, "slutty," and one girl ended up crying on a speed bump in the parking lot.

I love that Kelsey said, "I can't be the only girl who got drunk and laid on speed bump." Her choice of grammar gives the sentence a whole different, yet not necessarily inaccurate, meaning.

But seriously, how are these girls supposed to know what "specifically" is OK as far as sluttiness goes, when earlier in the episode they were asked to show their pole dancing skills in a challenge, and rewarded for turning a belly-flopping contest into a wet t-shirt contest? I guess for Bret, the balance is - much like the security of his wig without his bandanna - a delicate one.

<![CDATA[Study Finds That Men Who Drink Are Actually Better In Bed]]> So it turns out that alcohol consumption, once thought to be a leading cause of poor performance in the bedroom, actually improves a man's sexual abilities, according to a recent study of 1580 Australian men.

"We found that, compared to those who have never touched alcohol, many people do benefit from some alcohol, including some people who drink outside the guidelines,'' says Dr. Kew-Kim Chew, who led the study at Western Australia's Keogh Institute for Medical Research. After studying the habits of 1580 Australian men, it was found that men who drank within recommended guidelines had 30% fewer problems during sex than teetotalers, and, according to Clair Weaver of The Sunday Telegraph, "Even binge drinkers had lower rates of erectile dysfunction than those who never drank, although this type of drinking can cause other health problems." And if that isn't wacky enough, ex-drinkers were the ones with the highest rates of erectile dysfunction. (That sound you just heard was a million guys, giving up their New Year's resolution to drink less. Or perhaps a "WTF" sigh from your straight-edge boyfriend.)

There's no real reason given for the increase in performance that alcohol provides, though one would suspect a sense of relaxation and a lessened sense of anxiety helps a bit. Though it's important to remember that men who drink inside the recommended guidelines have the best performance, so if DrinkyPants McGee corners you tonight and tells you how awesome drunken sex with him will be before he vomits all over your shoes, starts singing "Sweet Caroline" and then begins to cry about the dog he had when he was 7, you might want to consider some other options. I'm just sayin'.

<![CDATA[Tequila Will Make You Forget All About Your Terminally Ill Sugar Daddy]]> On last night's episode, Gretchen, the youngest Housewife — with the much older fiancé dying in the hospital — got Rock of Love Bus drunk at a dinner party and hit on the hostess' son.

It was all a part of an evil plan on the part of Housewife Tamra, who was throwing the party to show off what she'd learned in etiquette class. Tamra decided that she didn't like Gretchen and wanted to get her drunk to "make her do something stupid." (This clip is pretty lengthy, but it doesn't include all of Gretchen's cringe-worthy drunkenness.) Tamra's 22-year-old son saw an opportunity to be a sleazebag and ducked into the bathroom with Gretchen when no one was looking. They may or may not have hooked up. To be continued!

<![CDATA[What Would You Do If These Were Your Parents On A Family Vacation?]]> On last night's episode, some of the Housewives took their implants and bikinis to spring break hot spot Lake Havasu where they did shots, beer bongs, danced, cried, and then went back to dancing.

Vicki's vacation was almost ruined when she found out that Jeana brought her gay friend Frankie—who wears false lashes—along on the trip. Vicki is suing him for nonpayment of rent. She did shots with Tamara to make herself feel better. After having a lot to drink, Tamara seemed to be having a good time because she publicly grabbed her husband's penis, but then when her twenty-something son showed her the tattoo he got on the inside of his lip, she began to cry about how she's a failure as a mother. (Oddly, she has a tramp stamp.) Vicki cried with her, and the two women embraced, making their straw cowboy hats go crooked, as they professed BFF status.

<![CDATA[Bad Girls Club: Cocktails & Stripping Contests]]> On last night's episode, the roommates went to a strip club for amateur night to earn money, but things went horribly wrong. Excessive vomit and a hospital visit followed.

Some of the girls are in debt, so the natural decision was to fall back on old habits and earn some quick cash through stripping. Kayla, who is a veteran stripper — with the body stocking to prove it — filled up on booze to help with her nerves. She ended up getting so hosed that she took her clothes off for free on the floor before the contest started, then ran outside into the parking lot naked, then barfed her brains out, then had to be taken to the hospital. On a brighter note, the other roommate who entered the contest, Sarah, won first prize. Silver lining! Clip above.

<![CDATA[Charm School: When Contestants Fill Up On Liquid Confidence]]> Last night's episode of Charm School was a clips reel of never-before-seen footage. That means: scenes of contestants at their drunkest. Plus, Sharon Osbourne attacked one of the women this weekend at the reunion taping.

Having to face a night at a bar dressed as unattractive women, the girls pre-gamed quite a bit before even leaving the house. There was some crying mixed in with flashing, mooning, ass spanking, and screaming — and this is all before they got to the bar and started doing tequila shots. Brandi C. ended up having a serious case of Duff Goggles and made out with some guy. We already knew what happened when the girls got home from the bar, and seeing this unaired footage totally explains how they got so shitcanned. In related news, the Charm School reunion was taped in L.A. this weekend and apparently things got intense. Insults were hurled, and Sharon Osbourne physically attacked Megan (the one who only wears bikinis), and, after going to the hospital, she pressed charges against Sharon. Nice going, teaching these wild women how to be "ladies", Shaz.

<![CDATA[Paula Abdul Makes Another Bizarre TV Appearance]]> Paula Abdul and her glassy eyes were on The View today, where she talked about Paula Goodspeed, the former American Idol contestant who committed suicide in a car parked outside of Abdul's home on November 11. Abdul said that Goodspeed was actually stalking her for 17 years, and had attempted suicide outside of Abdul's home once before. Then she told a bizarre story about how she was approached by a fan on the street and then asked the woman to move in with her — that woman will now be the 4th judge on Idol — which seems like it would only encourage more stalkers. She then changed the subject and talked about her jewelry line, which she will be selling live on HSN this Saturday night. Will she be as loopy as she's been on the past when selling jewelry in the middle of the night? Clip above.

<![CDATA[Badvertising]]> The problem with this government ad promoting safe sex in the UK — in which, to illustrate the "consequences" of a boozy night, a teenage girl gets pregnant — is that the commercial basically blames the girl for drinking too much. Sure, maybe she made bad decisions because she was inebriated, but what about the guy, who was also drinking, and who didn't wear a condom? How come he doesn't shoulder any of the responsibility?

<![CDATA[Was Kathleen Turner Soused On Martha Stewart?]]> Today a rerun of The Martha Stewart Show was playing in the background while I was working, and when I saw that Kathleen Turner was on, I just knew it would be good, and I took it off mute. She was there to promote her memoir Send Yourself Roses (that book in which she accused Nicholas Cage of dog-napping, which then led him to sue her). Anyway, I love the particular brand of crazy that she's been aging into, which I'm quite certain involves lots of vodka. On Martha Stewart, not only did Turner's voice sound like an ashtray personified, but she seemed to be lit, particularly when she was waiving her arms around in front of her and pointing her finger, a salty motion I've utilized several rounds in. Seriously, it seems like there should be empty martini glasses in front of them, not ingredients. Clip above, and after the jump, let's examine that book cover.

This is supposed to be a modern-day Kathleen Turner, like the one in the clip. The Photoshopping would lead one to believe it was snapped during the Body Heat era.

They have been completely unyielding in their criticisms of her, whether about the way she walks, the fact that she's an atheist, or her former porn career. So it was especially sad when she began sobbing, saying that they don't need to say all that stuff to her because she already hates herself. Clip above.

The plaintiff was so drunk (and allegedly on meth) that she didn't remember why she got beat up, who exactly beat her up, where she was hanging out or who she was with. She's suing her former BFF and roommate, as well as the BFF's sister, who, BTW , wasn't even there. Not surprisingly, JJ can barely sit in her seat, she's so irritated, and ends up calling the plaintiff a crybaby. LOL! Needless to say, she dismisses the claim. You'll feel just as drunk as these chicks after you watch the clip above.

<![CDATA[Homecoming Queen Gives New Meaning To Term "Trailer Trash"]]> Meet Donna Sturkie-Anthony: A former high school homecoming queen who is now in her early 40s and is more gangsta than you could ever imagine. Currently in jail after an alleged incident in which she beat her sister with a prosthetic leg, Donna has a reputation in her town of North Huntington, PA for being a rowdy, violent drunk. She's been arrested over a half-dozen times since 1991, and one of those times — a DUI — she was so drunk that she smeared her feces in the back of a police car. Last month, Donna's sister visited her trailer to discuss her drinking problem and Donna became so enraged that she pulled off her sister's prosthetic leg and beat her with it. After that, she stole her neighbors' phone and threatened to burn their trailer down if they testified against her. But wait, it gets better!

In another (related) incident, Donna threw garbage and raw, ground meat at her neighbor, then threatened to kick his pregnant daughter in the stomach. One neighbor is so afraid of Donna that she wouldn't show her face on camera, but she did say that when the police get called to Donna's place — which apparently happens often — they know enough to bring backup each time. Donna is currently being held without bond because she's believed to be a danger to herself and others, and faces felony charges of intimidation of a witness and assault for the attack on her sister.

(The level of drunkenness helped matters, I'm sure.) I'd tell you more, but I can't remember it, that's how fun it was. Luckily, there's pictures to prove it, check out the gallery.
