'CRYSTAL' PALACE
EXEC TURNS HIS PENTHOUSE INTO A METH LAB: FEDS

December 1, 2006 -- The trailer-park drug known as "hillbilly crack" has been putting on the Ritz lately - as federal drug agents uncovered a crystal-meth lab inside the $6,000-a-month Manhattan penthouse of a bank executive, authorities said yesterday.

Michael Knibb, an information-technology vice president at Citigroup, ran the sophisticated drug operation from the living room of his luxury apartment overlooking the United Nations, said Drug Enforcement Administration officials.

The 37-year-old Knibb - who makes an estimated $250,000 a year - allegedly told authorities that he had decided to make his own methamphetamines because he could not find a reliable drug dealer after moving to New York from Seattle two years ago. Knibb was one of 10 alleged do-it-yourself drug makers busted this week as part of a federal anti-meth sweep dubbed Operation Red Fusion.

Yesterday was National Methamphetamine Awareness Day.
The arrests were made after each of the suspects allegedly bought meth-making chemicals from the same Internet sites. None of the suspects were major dealers, and most just made enough for their own use, according to the DEA.

Knibb wasn't the only suspect whose profile didn't fit the image of the typical meth producer.
Another suspect is Mehmetcan Dosemeci, a Columbia University doctoral student, who told cops he mixed and used the stimulant to boost his studying, officials said. Dosemeci, a native of Turkey, is a Fulbright scholar and a graduate instructor at the school.
He was busted after he allegedly made the boneheaded mistake of going online to get one of the prime meth ingredients, iodine crystals, and having it sent to his Manhattan Avenue apartment.

DEA agents raided his home in October. The history student might have also gone far in chemistry, since DEA officials said the 1.3 grams of meth they found had a purity of 98 percent. "It's just not as it seems at the moment. It's a big misunderstanding," Dosemeci said at his apartment yesterday.

He and Knibb were free on $150,000 bail.

National Meth Awareness Day

what a flamer...pun intended.

i'm so excited, i'm so excited, i'm so excited...i'm so scccccared!

read Mike Z. McIntee's account of Letterman last night with extra speeecial guest, Richard Simmons (my personal favorite):

News From The Late Show Home Office

And Richard has become an inventor. He's come up with his new food steamer. We have one behind the desk which Richard struggles to lift. He finally gets it on the desk but the tray it was on dangles from it. Uh oh. I know this isn't good. Richard doesn't understand why that tray is even attached to his steamer. It's awkward just hanging there and finally, with Dave's help, the tray is place under the steamer. Richard explains how it works and presses the on button. Seconds later, it begins to smoke. Richard isn't at all pleased at the joke we pulled. But the joke isn't over. The steamer suddenly explodes into a ball of fire, chasing Richard out of his chair and over to Paul. Dave got a good laugh out of that. With that, we send Richard off with hopes of seeing him again soon. The Richard Simmons steamer. I like the looks of that thing. It may be on my Christmas list, because 2007 is the year I get back into high school shape. You better get a photo of me now because you won't see this body again.
Back from commercial, we see a slow motion replay of Richard's reaction to his exploding steamer. The fire flash scared the dickens out of him. And it's a good thing he wasn't oiled up as much as usual. Could have been catastrophic.

i'm not sure if you know of Richard and Dave's relationship, but it's pretty bad. Dave just hates Richard, can never get a word in edgewise when he is on the show and at Richie's last appearance, Dave fire extinguished him and he passed out! Gotta love the "DAVE" tank top that Simmons is wearing. Did anyone see Simmons on Enterntainment Tonight when he went back to New Orleans after Katrina, he grew up there, and was running around the big easy in fresh white tennies and striped running shorts and a tank top? he was running around, crying, screaming...i could not stop laughing and I mean no disrespect to New Orleans, but i don't know how Simmons made such a disasterous incident look so flaming...

it's not a go-go cart, it's a steamer!!!

last night Letterman that I was talking about...

Richard Simmons on ET

work out clothes are very necessary in this situation

did Robert Redford approve this?

A documentary, Zoo, about the Seattle man who died last year while having sex with a horse, has been selected for Sundance.

give me my chocolates, trimspa BABY

grrr. anna nicole, amongst her tragic son's death, the birth of her daughter dannielynn smith-marshall-stern, larry birkhead claiming to be the father, bohemian PD investigating daniel's death, her recent eviction from a bohemian home that she claimed someone "lent" to her, and now this. SHE NEEDS SOME DAMN CHOCOLATE! GRRR, GET ME SOME CHOCOLATE BITCHES!

ANNA NICOLE SMITH has become a "guinea-pig" for diet company TrimSpa's new chocolate treat in a bid to lose weight after giving birth to baby DANNIELYNN. The former model, the longtime face of TrimSpa's diet pills, put on more than 75 pounds (34 kilograms) when she was pregnant with her daughter and has been struggling to return to her ideal weight - 145 pounds (65.7 kilograms). But she admits she's enjoying her new chocolate diet. She says, "I haven't been doing anything so far, except TrimSpa of course. We're coming out with a chocolate product which I'm sampling now... You eat two of the chocolates instead of taking the pills and it actually is yummy."

just like Bill O'Reilly turned on Ludacris...

the BIG O is about to let 50 know what's up. yes, i do believe that Oprah is not fully a sista-girl anymore, but maybe fame does that to you? or maybe being hungry all the time b/c you starve yourself to fit into those tight sweater dresses makes you all pissy? leggings this season!!?? damn was the BIG O pissed. just when she was thin enough to fit into some nice jeans, now if she wants to keep up with trends she's got to try and fit into leggings. man, i would love to work in wardrobe at HARPO.

ok, so back to the biznaz, looks like 50 (PAGE SIX is reporting), called Oprah an OREO. i'm not really sure how Nabisco feels about this, but i can see it now: every suburban mom, grandma, aunt, whathaveyou, boycotts 50 cent, as if most of them aren't already scared of him...but now it's WAR. "Tell your kids not to buy his album, his video game, his clothes, his sneakers...because I'm Oprah godddddddddamit." yup, you're done 50...

OPRAH Winfrey is really an Oreo - black on the outside but white on the inside, according to 50 Cent. In the January issue of Elle, the rapper says Winfrey "started out with black women's views but has been catering to middle-aged white American women for so long that she's become one herself. I think the idea of being publicly noted that she's a billionaire makes [black women] interested in seeing her views. But it's even more exciting to the demographic of white American women she's been aiming at to see that she has the exact same views that they have."

Danny Devito DRUNK on the View

Devito, calm, cool and collected (mainly b/c he wasted still from a night of partying with his straight friend George Clooney, who wishes he was Italian). not as i rememeber him. in most of his movies, Ruthless People being top on my list, and Throw Mama From the Train, most of us are use to Devito just yelling, getting fuming red and spinning around like a little top. most recently he was in Big Fish as a wee little circus man, it was a great role for him. i love how uncomfortable Baba Wawa is in this clip and of course, it never fails, Hasselbitch is trying to get a word in, but he doesn't even hear her. the only people that are amused and can actually talk to him are rosie and joy behar. it's good TV, especially considering it came from that shit of a show, the View.

mag scan of the week...let's just call it "clash"

i was reading SPIN this week, en route from AZ to CHI and came across this hilarious page in SPIN. the main part of the page is pretty sweet looking to the reader's eyes:
Honky Tonk Badonkadonk

yes, this is a name of a country song by Trace Adkins

this comparison between country and hip hop badonkadonk songs is just entertaining... (here are some mentionables):

Kanye's "Slow Jamz" is in attendance on this badonkadonk menu and should be with lyrics like:
"imma play this Vandross, you gon take your clothes off" and "imma bring the cool whip, then i want you to strip"

Snoop's "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have Some)" - true dat Snoop, true dat. will lyrics like "so back up bitch because you strugglin. just get on your knees and then start jugglin', these mother f(bleeeep) nuts in your mouth," Snoop is in the running for the title of badonkin' king

Toby Keith's song, on the way other end of the spectrum, (please no more Nelly and Tim McGraw repeats) called "Let's Talk About Me" mentions random things like "moisturizer lotion" and everything else is really not badonkadonk material

Trace Adkins is the winner considering his song is titled: "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," although he talks about britches a lot. i just had a flash back to little house on the prairie, hmmm.

beyond that comparison article we have "Rotten Milk" (maybe DJ Rotten Milk) to your right on the page (below here) in a early 90s flourescent mix of gloriousness wind breaker (perfect for Chicago, which is where Rotten Milk was spotted - the RED-I lounge). his tight striped pants remind me of a sweet pair i had back in middle school from the limited too and his hair is very suave shampoo, if you know what i mean. i love his description about his clothes or his "style":

[most of my clothes are handed down or from the garbage. let's just call it 'clash'] - Rotten Milk


Rotten Milk fan club:
his myspace
his upcoming events

guess the crotch

oops, ya'll i did it again! either she just doesn't give a shit, or the paps are all up in there with their camera lenses like gynos.

one person posted this on Britney's official MySpace page regarding the clam:
"yo that clam chowder shot you gave the world was crazy it looked like k-fed beat that like it was his trailerpark step son."

bring in the italian!

looks like MSU has hired Mark Dantonio as the new head coach of Spartan's football team. good news for the Spartans...but this will take time. we can only go up from the hole we've been in.


The Detroit News is reporting:

Dantonio, 50, coached under Nick Saban at MSU and under Jim Tressel at OSU, then was 18-17 in three years as head coach at Cincinnati. He knows the Midwest terrain well, which is a gigantic plus. He knows the MSU culture well, which is a necessity.
_________________________________

I liked where Nick Saban took our team and it's been rough ever since he left, maybe my paesan, Dantonio can bring back what we lost these last 5 years...? Spartan football could be something to cheer about it again, but now it's time for IZZO!

crotch is the new cleavage

i came home to a bunch of crotch shots. brit is back to normal, trashtastic Y'ALL! yeehaw.

yea yea, cleave is out. sorry peeps, but after so many Lohan, Paris and now Brit crotch shots looks like we've found ourselves a new trend. and with this trend, i think the 6 yr old wax is necessary, especially if America has to look at it everyday on the goss sites. hairless like a chihuahua, ya know?

i'm wasted, Y'ALL!

just in case you were having delusions, Brit is back to trash. no bra, Y'ALL! no wonder Brit is having a hard time finding a publicist, PAGE SIX is reporting...

(i can't help myself with the "Y'ALLs", sorry y'all)
