We're far too serious here to read the NY Post gossip column daily. But thank goodness others help us. They spotted this item about former Channel 7 news gal Christina McLarty, who's apparently now moving in a whole different league.
JOE Francis called us with his version of what went down at the Cameo club in Miami on Saturday. The "Girls Gone Wild" gazillionaire denied being punched in the head by the jealous boyfriend of a girl he'd been chatting up. Francis, who'd been celebrating his birthday, even conferenced in his girlfriend, Christina McLarty, the entertainment reporter on the CBS station in L.A., who said: "Joe and I were together the entire night. We sat in a corner at Cameo. As we were leaving, Joe saw a girl he used to date five years ago. She starts yelling at Joe. Then the boyfriend came over and was very aggressive. He actually hit me in the head by accident."

Well, isn't that special.

That is some confusing paragraph. I had to read it 3 times to figure out who was Joe and never did find out who was Francis.
Was this excerpted from an article that explained who was whom?
I guess life (or gossip columns) are like baseball, you can't tell the players without a scorecard.

I kind of liked Gawker's take on it:
"It wasn't Wild Girl exploiter Joe Francis who got punched in the head in Miami last Saturday, it was his girlfriend. It would be wrong to say that she deserves it for dating him, wouldn't it."

Since Francis has been linked to Paris Hilton, it probably wouldn't hurt Ms. McLarty to take some time to visit a doctor about testing for trasmittable diseases...especially in light of all the free time she will have while the beloved Mr. Francis is in the pokey for contempt.

Holy $19.95 Batman! The only way this could get juicer is if there was a midget involved! This news item should take a lot of heat off H. Nutt, don't you think?
And ain't it too bad that Cox cable and Dish block the LR channels up here in Fort Baptist? I might have stripped off naked with a bushel of oranges and watched Ms McLarty read off the news now and then. She is enough to make me almost forget Carolyn Long! I said almost!
Dating Mr. Francis.....hmmmm..sounds like a 6 part HBO series to me. What must it be like to date a man who makes a living getting college girls drunk and naked? Maybe it's like dating a gynecologist, you know after a while if you've seen 1500, you've seen a million of em?
It's just good to know in these troubled times there is still a woman who doesn't mind taking a head punch for her man. I'm sure Joe Francis's millions will kiss it and make it better.
The only way I can turn this around and make it understandable is by imagining I'm dating the woman who does the Vagina Monologues.....or maybe being Mr. Annie Sprinkle.
Oh well, think I'll go mold my meatloaf into x rated shapes and give the family a big shock when it comes out of the oven. It's good Joe Francis doesn't let his meatloaf. Wish it was me.....

When was Christina McLarty here? I thought we had a McLarty at KATV by another name and definitely a different hair color. Do you have the right person?
