Here’s one for the Hollywood Odd Couple Hall Of Fame- pint-sized, big-screen tough guy Joe Pesci has gotten engaged to statuesque supermodel Angie Everhart, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.Can you believe this guy . . .
The 5-foot-4 Oscar winner and the 5-foot-10 beauty have been friends for years, but in the past few months the relationship has turned to love, say insiders.
Joe, 64, and Angie, 37, were on a weekend getaway in Atlantic City in early July when the goodfella gave her the thrill of her life. He proposed by getting on one knee- and placing a stunning 8-carat diamond ring on her finger.
The Poet Victor Hugo wrote of the people in his home town "you loved them well and they remain, still with nothing to do, no money no will". As I contemplate all the places I have lived due to my work, it occurs to me that one of my failings is this. I never really stayed in one place long enough develop a connection to a city to the point I'd put my life out there on the line for it's people, with all their flaws and foibles, and not expect a whole lot in return, except someone shooting at me or cutting my budget. SYLG is a Police Detective in the big city of Philly, which he writes of with clarity and patience, as well as the things he loves about his life there. He writes with a submerged sense of the absurd that rises to the surface for air, providing us a glimpse of genuine wit and soul when it does.And now I can retire SYLG, because that is officially the nicest thing anyone has ever written about me and/or this crime scene I call a blog. (I'm kidding, please don't send me e-mail!) I wish I could adequately express my appreciation for such kind words, but I am afraid that I am at a loss. In lieu of reciprocal praise, if everyone would please overload Scully's blog with hits today, I would be most grateful.

NEW YORK - Britney Spears sat back and watched as her Yorkshire terrier puppy pooped on a $6,700 designer gown at a photo shoot for OK! magazine.So let's see. Pooping on your dress? Check. Using said dress for a napkin to wipe up fried chicken grease? Check. Taking a dump in full view of everyone? Check. Stealing $14,000 worth of gaudy clothes? Check. Congratulations, Brit, you just embarrassed yourself more colorfully than Lindsay Lohan. Idiot.
Spears also wiped grease on a designer dress, treating it like "a napkin," took frequent trips to the bathroom " leaving the door open " and complained that the high-end clothing put together for the July 19 fashion shoot weren't sexy, short or tight enough, the magazine said.
After about three hours, the 25-year-old singer bolted, walking away with more than $14,000 of borrowed apparel, Ivens said. (H/T - Yahoo!)
"I wouldn't say he's delusional about the problem, but I don't think he sees it as being as big a deal as everybody else," the associate said. "He thinks it's going to blow over eventually … He doesn't know how deep this goes."Please God, let his jury - hopefully comprised of a dozen talking dogs - read this statement before his trial.

Genial comic Drew Carey was tapped Monday to replace silver-haired legend Bob Barker on the CBS daytime game show "The Price is Right." The deal was set Monday afternoon shortly before a taping of CBS' "Late Show" with David Letterman, where he confirmed it.See, I mention this story because some of the wiseasses I used to work with thought I looked like Mr. Carey. "Dead ringer" was the term they used. Bastards. I think Carey will bring some personality to Randal Graves' favorite game show, which has been sorely lacking during the Barker years. Now, if only Drew can find some animal to neuter . . . Maybe Rosie O'Donnell?
"I realize what a big responsibility this is," he said. "It's only a game show, but it's the longest-running game show in American television and I plan to keep it that way."
Philadelphia’s murder rate is gaining national attention as it continues to climb following a deadly weekend. During a news conference Monday police said 37 shootings in 72 hours left six people dead, bringing the city's murder rate to 232 homicides for the year.For those of you not keeping count - or not checking out First In's Murder Meter - Philadelphia's homicide count now stands at 234. And it's only July 23rd. At this rate, we will shatter last year's number of 406. Shatter it!
"Homicide is working around the clock to gather witnesses to find out what happened," said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Sylvester Johnson. "We had absolutely no witnesses in none of the homicides. No one has come forward at all."
Lack of witnesses is a growing trend in Philadelphia making crime solving difficult.
"It is very discouraging that people don't come forward. Not realizing that they are safer with the person in custody than the person still walking the street," Johnson said. (H/T - CBS3)
"Why don't you dance with me? I'm not no Limburger."Even though I have heard the song a million times, that line never stuck out in my mind. Eerie. It's a strange one - I guess Kate Pierson is trying to say she doesn't stink like the cheese of the same name - but it's a great one at the same time.
TV pundits, radio commentators, newspaper columnists and Internet bloggers all proclaim their views on what to do in Iraq. On different days, I play each of those roles. But the only thing I know for sure is what I don't know.You got that right, you dope. As a former listener, I can tell you with certainty that Smerconish doesn't know a whole lot about himself, or his audience. The people of Philadelphia respond to people who take a stand, and not some idiot who changes his opinion according to public opinion. First, Smerconish was almost rabidly conservative. As his popularity in the MSM grew, his opinions changed with the wind. (And believe me, Smerconish sure blows.) While he was becoming the media darling - guest hosting for the talking heads at MSNBC and writing for the DN - he started eating healthy helpings of liberalism. Soon, he was ripping the Bush administration, the Iraq War, and enough "conservative" issues that many longtime fans started tuning out. And rightly so.
The slow-handclapping started in the £600 seats. Not, of course at having been made to pay so much for what, after all, was a mere concert, or at the sheer greed which meant they were asked for an extra £25 for a shoddy programme. No, the slow-handclapping was because Barbra Streisand was late, albeit just half an hour late. They really should try waiting for Pete Doherty one very long evening ...Good God, what can I possibly add to that? Okay, maybe a "Bawahahaha!!!"
For a moment, though, it was as if Streisand - whose demands have even ruffled the Dorchester's usually unperturbable feathers - had a mutiny on her hands. Then, such is the magic of music and music sung by probably (if we forget Ella Fitzgerald) the 20th century's finest female voice, before she had finished caressing the first line of the opening Starting Here, Starting Now, everyone had forgiven her everything.
"Little over one mile away, the car that I was driving on the unlit road went off a narrow bridge which had no guard rails and was built on a left angle to the road. The car overturned in a deep pond and immediately filled with water. I remember thinking as the cold water rushed in around my head that I was for certain drowning. Then water entered my lungs and I actual felt the sensation of drowning. But somehow I struggled to the surface alive.Mary Jo Kopechne was unavailable for comment.
I made immediate and repeated efforts to save Mary Jo by diving into strong and murky current, but succeeded only in increasing my state of utter exhaustion and alarm. My conduct and conversations during the next several hours, to the extent that I can remember them, make no sense to me at all.
Although my doctors informed me that I suffered a cerebral concussion, as well as shock, I do not seek to escape responsibility for my actions by placing the blame either in the physical, emotional trauma brought on by the accident, or on anyone else. I regard as indefensible the fact that I did not report the accident to the policy immediately."
