    Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Photos Hacked

    Posted in Crime by The Gossip Monger on March 25th, 2008.

    Byron Ng found a way to view Facebook photos that were protected by privacy settings, so we get to see some of Mark Zuckerberg’s own photos from his albums. Naturally, these are pretty innocuous, as the founder of Facebook certainly knows what is not online, or what doesn’t exist, can’t leak out. Keep that sexy time close, Zuckerberg.

    Heather Mills Dumps Water on McCartney Lawyer’s Head

    Posted in Scandal, Odd... by The Gossip Monger on March 22nd, 2008.

    Although she received a $50M settlement in her divorce with former Beatles singer star Paul McCartney, it wasn’t enough for Heather Mills, who dumped a water pitcher on Fiona Shackleton, McCartney’s lawyer, for calling her names during the proceedings. Here’s a photo of McCartney’s lawyer, before and after:

    The courtroom outburst was captured by a court recorder in sketch form:

    The lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, is known as Steel Magnolia and has represented the Prince of Wales and Duke of York. Her composure is remarkable.

    Lil’ Wayne Strapped Condoms Ad

    Posted in Sex, Rap, Hip Hop by The Gossip Monger on March 9th, 2008.

    The “Greatest Rapper Alive” Lil’ Wayne has appeared in a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for J-Prince’s Strapped Condoms line:

    While critics are complaining that the advertisement is plagued by homosexual undertones, I think Lil’ Wayne has got the right idea here. HIV is a big problem in the black American and homosexual communities, and anything he can do to spread awareness is right. XXLMag talks about it a little more:

    Launched by the Rap-A-Lot Records founder in 2005, Strapped has embarked on a campaign to educate youth in identifying high risk behavior patterns that contribute to the continuous spread of HIV & sexually transmitted diseases. “In the midst of this crisis where HIV & AIDS is the #1 killer where our race of people is concerned, I salute Lil Wayne as an authority figure for taking a stand to inform our people to use Strapped Condoms & to Stay Strapped for Life,” J-Prince said in a statement announcing the effort.
