Ripped from the headlines in jolly ol’ England…
Downton Abbey meets Occupy Wall Street!
Manchester resident Steph Pike was arrested for aggravated trespass while protesting outside a Barclays Bank.
Friends say she was conducting a peaceful protest as a member ‘UK Uncut,’ a grassroots group formed to highlight ‘corporate tax dodging’ and alternatives to the government’s spending cuts.
Police say she was arrested to preempt the aggravated trespass that was clearly being established.
Seriously?
While I’m sure her presence outside the window was aggravating to certain Barclays employees, any charges of trespass are trumped up at best.
Me? I’d charge her with a keen sense of humor, creativity and — I gotta say it…
Balls.
Most Annoying Celebrity Rag
You know how some TV show plot lines are ‘ripped from the headlines?’ I’ve decided People magazine rips theirs from any handy movie premiere calendar.
Easier than workin.’
Gwyneth is lovely — I’ll give you that. But the most beautiful woman in the world? Of all the choices in Hollywood and around the globe?
In the words of Jerry Seinfeld — speaking to his young son outside my brownstone one Saturday afternoon –
“Probably not.”
But it is far simpler — isn’t it People editorial staff — to crown Ms. Paltrow? She has Iron Man 3 coming out in a theatre near you…plus, your rival Star magazine just named her Most Hated Celebrity (which is probably more accurate).
Your advertisers are happy! Moms her age are happy! And Star has been put in its place.
Who cares if it isn’t true?
