Page 1 Consider (11/14)

  • Thong Confessions: Britney's naughty priest is an International Male undies model. (At least he bothers to wear 'em.) (TMZ)

  • Sour Notes: An organ donor infected four transplant patients with hepatitis C and the AIDS virus in what a donor group says is the first such transmission in the U.S. in at least 13 years. (NYT)

  • Do the Wright Thing: Mets cutie David Wright wore a white cap as a nod to young cancer patients he was visiting at NYU Medical Center this week. (Mets)


  • President of His Own Fan Club: Is NBC's Ben Silverman the new Terence Trent D'Arby? (Esquire)


  • Can't Curb It: I've resisted writing about it or even describing any of the episodes to Michael (I want him to watch for himself), but this season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" has to be the funniest thing to ever air on television. Larry David's refusal to cave into the PC bullshit that dominates today's society -- along with the real life plot twist -- are why. (NYT)

  • 'Victims' (We Know So Well): Boy George thinks its hilarious that he's been charged with chaining a male hooker to his wall. Funny thing is -- so do I. (Independent)

  • Sliver: I don't care if it's for a "good cause" or not. Do we really need to see this much Sharon Stone camel toe? (Defamer)


  • Thanks, Paris! The incidence of gonorrhea, which had declined sharply, has risen in the last two years in this country while the number of chlamydia and syphilis cases continue to rise, federal health officials said Tuesday. (USAToday)


  • Casualties of War: We can't afford universal health care, but $1.6 trillion for a senseless war? No problem. (AP)


  • Showing Their Hand: In the genteel world of bridge, disputes are usually handled quietly and rarely involve issues of national policy. But in a fight reminiscent of the brouhaha over an anti-Bush statement by Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks in 2003, a team of women who represented the United States at the world bridge championships in Shanghai last month is facing sanctions, including a yearlong ban from competition, for a spur-of-the-moment protest. At issue is a crudely lettered sign, scribbled on the back of a menu, that was held up at an awards dinner and read, "We did not vote for Bush." (NYT)

  • Oh, Mandy: Page Six Magazine had a big, juicy profile on my favorite evil "mentor" Mandie Erickson (aka Cunt Face) from The Fashionista Diaries. Oh, and it's a good one. (Jezebel)

  • Miranda Was Right: It seems men would rather date flight attendants than lawyers. (Dowd)


  • The Candidate: Brian Paddick, the man who was the highest ranking openly gay police officer in the world, has won the Liberal Democrats' nomination for mayor of London. (365Gay)

  • Policy Change: China will relax a long-standing rule that bars foreigners with HIV from entering the country, a health official said Tuesday. (AP)

    Speaking of Sliver, may I give an R.I.P. to Ira Levin, who also gave us Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives, A Kiss Before Dying, Deathtrap, and The Boys From Brazil? I truly think his thrillers will be read 100 and 200 years from now as we read Washington Irving and Edgar Allen Poe today.
