HOLLYWOORD DIRT OVERFLOW
BABY FILES - #1: KEVIN COSTNER IS HAVING HIS SEVENTH KID:
KEVIN COSTNER is going to have a SEVENTH child. His wife, Christine Baumgartner, is pregnant, and expecting in June. --Kevin and Christine have two kids already . . . boys who are one year and two and a half years old. Kevin has four other children, ages 13, 22, 23 and 25, from previous relationships. (--Kevin is just one kid behind Mel Gibson . . . who just had his EIGHTH last year with girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva. The previous SEVEN were with just one woman )
BABY FILES - #2: AMY POEHLER IS EXPECTING HER SECOND CHILD:
"Parks and Recreation" star AMY POEHLER successfully accepted a donation of man-juice recently. She and husband WILL ARNETT will be having a second child sometime within the next nine months. (--There's no word on the due date.) --Amy and Will already have a 16-month-old son named Archie.
BABY FILES - #3: WINNIE FROM "THE WONDER YEARS" IS KNOCKED UP!!!
This is one of those things that just makes you feel old: Winnie from "The Wonder Years" . . . sweet, innocent little Winnie . . . is KNOCKED UP. (!!!) --DANICA MCKELLAR and her husband, Mike Verta, are expecting a child in the fall. Danica . . . who's 35 . . . says, quote, "I'm nearing the end of my first trimester and I'm so excited. I've been bursting to tell people." --Danice is finishing off the third book in her series that tries to make kids think math is cool. It's called "Hot X: Algebra Exposed" . . . and it'll be out in August.
DOES CHELSEA CLINTON GET $10 MILLION IF HER HUSBAND CHEATS???
This sounds like one of those ironic rumors that tabloids love to make up . . . but if that's the case, you have to give props to whoever came up with it. --Pulitzer Prize candidate "The National Enquirer" says that CHELSEA CLINTON crafted a prenuptial agreement that stipulates that she gets $10 million if her husband-to-be, one Marc Mezvinsky, cheats on her. -A so-called "source" says, quote, "Chelsea's world was shattered when she learned that her father had been unfaithful to her mom . . . [it] made her very gun-shy about trusting the guys she dated."
COREY HAIM WAS OBTAINING THOUSANDS OF PILLS FROM SEVERAL OF DOCTORS:
California Attorney General Jerry Brown says that COREY HAIM was using numerous doctors to obtain THOUSANDS of pills. --He says, quote, "How many people go to 10 or 15 or 20 doctors and then run around to 10, 12 and more pharmacies to go fulfill them and sometimes two different doctors in the same day?" --Brown says that over the last year, Corey obtained THOUSANDS of pills from DOZENS of doctors. (--In other Corey News . . . COREY FELDMAN got a tattoo on his arm with the number 222 in it. That number has some kind of secret significance for the two Coreys.) (--In his "open letter" to Haim the other day, Feldman said, quote, "Nobody will understand the magic of 22/222." Here are some pictures of Corey getting his new ink . . .) http://photos.tmz.com/galleries/feldmans_new_ink#tab=most_recent
MARIE OSMOND HAS CANCELED HER REMAINING VEGAS SHOWS FOR THIS WEEK:
The day after MARIE OSMOND laid her son Michael to rest on March 8th, she was back onstage, doing her nightly Vegas show with her brother DONNY. --But apparently, she needs more time to grieve . . . because the remainder of this week's shows have been canceled. -Marie's rep says, quote, "She needs to spend more time with her family. She's still processing everything and it's really rough on her." --Donny and Marie plan to resume performances on Tuesday. JONAH HILL WILL HAVE A NUDE SCENE IN "GET HIM TO THE GREEK":
As you've probably heard by now, the upcoming comedy "Get Him to the Greek" is a spin-off of the 2008 flick "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". --It stars RUSSELL BRAND as rock star Aldous Snow, and JONAH HILL as a record label lackey who has to get him to his gig in Los Angeles. (--Oddly, Jonah is NOT playing the same character he did in "Sarah Marshall".) --As most people probably recall, star JASON SEGEL had two rather shocking . . . and HI-larious . . . full-frontal nude scenes in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall". --Well, he's not in "Get Him to the Greek". So Jonah is taking hold of the baton, if you'll pardon the pun. --Jonah says, quote, "I had all sorts of thoughts . . . I don't want to give away too much. But I had all sorts of thoughts about waxing or what I should do to prepare. --"And then eventually I just said I'm just gonna be free and be me and just sort of, you know, let that happen." (--The movie comes out June 4th.)
HANK AZARIA WILL DO THE VOICE OF GARGAMEL IN THE "SMURFS" MOVIE:
When we heard that NEIL PATRICK HARRIS had joined the cast of the "Smurfs" movie, we hoped and prayed he would play the Smurfs' sworn enemy, Gargamel. --Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. He's just going to play some guy who befriends the Smurfs or something. (--JAYMA MAYS, the redheaded minx from "Glee", was just cast as his pregnant wife, by the way.) --Now, there's even MORE bad news . . . that could have been AWESOME news. --HANK AZARIA has been cast as Gargamel. Which SHOULD be awesome. Except that he'll only be doing Gargamel's VOICE. In other words, Gargamel will be a CG character, like the Smurfs. (--Hank Azaria or Neil Patrick Harris as a LIVE-ACTION Gargamel would have been SO cool. As someone who would otherwise have no interest whatsoever in a Smurf movie, I would have totally paid to see that.)
MATT DAMON DOESN'T PLAN ON DOING ANOTHER "BOURNE" MOVIE:
MATT DAMON thinks there could be another "Bourne" movie . . . but without him. He says, quote, "I think there's a good way to do a prequel with someone else, but not me. --"With me playing him, Bourne got his memory back three times. So I don't think anybody wants to see me say 'I don't remember' again. --"But you could do a prequel with another actor being the first Bourne before his identity gets passed on to me. In fact, why not two or three? As for me coming back to do him again, I'm just saying no."
JIMMY KIMMEL ADMITTED TO HIS JAY LENO AMBUSH ON "LETTERMAN" TUESDAY NIGHT:
If you missed it, JIMMY KIMMEL was on the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Tuesday . . . and he admitted to ambushing JAY LENO on his old primetime show back in January. --He said, quote, "He went on 'The Oprah [Winfrey] Show' and said I sucker-punched him. He's always running to tattle to Oprah whenever something happens, and I didn't feel like I did sucker-punch him. But then I looked it up in the dictionary and it turns out I did."(--Here's the video clip . . .)http://www.cbs.com/late_night/late_show/video/?pid=LD1_S5ZiKR9J8_reAHVXNapbtar9pXXP&vs=Default&play=true
AND NOW . . . CONAN MAY BE TURNING HIS COMEDY TOUR INTO A DOCUMENTARY MOVIE:
Deadline.com is reporting that, quote, "early talks are underway" to have cameras follow CONAN O'BRIEN'S upcoming comedy tour. The footage would then be turned into a documentary film. --There aren't any specific details yet, but there is word that RODMAN FLENDER . . . the man behind both "Leprechaun 2" and the horror comedy "Idle Hands" . . . is in line to direct. --The documentary shouldn't be in violation of Conan's exit deal with NBC, assuming they don't air it on TV before this fall.
NBC IS BRINGING BACK THE REGULAR "APPRENTICE" NEXT SEASON:
In yet another example of sheer creative genius, NBC will be bringing back the old-school version of "The Apprentice" this fall. --That's the one without "celebrities" . . . with the everyday smart people, who are competing for jobs with DONALD TRUMP. It begins filming this summer. --There's no official word yet, but it sounds like NBC may also re-up "Celebrity Apprentice" for another season . . . and it would air in the spring (--As you may recall, the original "Apprentice" was essentially canceled by NBC in 2007, because the series was taking a nosedive in the ratings.) (--Interesting Fact: There were SIX seasons of the non-celebrity "Apprentice". The first season averaged an impressive 20.7 million viewers. But every single subsequent season averaged more than a million viewers less.) (--By the last season, the show was drawing just 7.5 million people an episode.)
COURTNEY LOVE WANTS TO PATCH THINGS UP WITH BILLY CORGAN:
SMASHING PUMPKINS singer BILLY CORGAN recently lashed out at his former friend, COURTNEY LOVE, in an interview with "Rolling Stone". --Among other things, he said, quote, "I have no interest in supporting [Courtney] in any way, shape or form. You can't throw enough things down the abyss with a person like that." --He also said that Courtney couldn't use the songs they'd worked on together for her new album, because she didn't have his permission. --Courtney initially shot back that she can do what she wants with the songs, because his people had given permission. But now it looks like she's not interested in a feud. Yesterday, she posted an APOLOGY on her Facebook page: "Dearest Billy: --"I love you, I love your strong and eternal heart, even love the (effed) up gnarly amazing magnificent bigger-than-god louder-than-love karma of the songs you write and allow me to fly with. --"We have again created beauty from the agony between us, all the buried and unburied anguish, all that is true, that is gold, that is meant to be is within this endless and somehow eternal cycle of Billy & Courtney. --"I hope you will take my sincerest apologies for all the thousand ways I sometimes offend you, because I know you are a king, a prince, and my beautiful noble boy. --"No one will ever force my hand, nothing will come between the truth of what we are: Eternal lovers, eternal fighters, eternal warriors. --"Let the forces and the shock and awe loose from its cages, all credit where it is due. [I love you] and can never thank you enough. Your soul (and you know this). Xxx CLC" (--If Courtney really does believe that she can do what she wants with the songs, then this could be a genuine attempt to smooth things over.) (--If not, perhaps she's just making nice so she can have the songs.)
AXL ROSE THREATENED TO STOP A CONCERT IN BRAZIL . . . WHEN A "FAN" THREW A WATER BOTTLE AT HIM:
AXL ROSE stopped a GUNS N' ROSES show in Sao Paulo, Brazil, over the weekend . . . after some "fan" drilled him with a water bottle. (--The bottle WAS at least partially filled with liquid.) --Once the music was stopped, he scolded the fan and threatened to leave . . . before ultimately continuing with the show. --He said, quote, "Who's the little (eff) over here? Come on coward! You wanna (eff) up the show for everybody, 'cause I've got no problem, I will leave. We will all leave. --"You want to play games? You can (eff) yourself, or we can have some fun. You guys wanna have fun? And I don't need no (effing) (rhymes with "wussies") like we had the other night in that club. --"You want to (eff) with me and my boys, we will leave. Now. Where were we ladies and gentlemen?" (--You can see video of this at the link below. ***WARNING***: The F-bombs ARE bleeped out . . . but the bleeper didn't do a very good job.) http://www.tmz.com/2010/03/17/axl-rose-guns-n-roses-brazil-water-bottle-concert-video/
NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
DADS OF THE DAY: THE GOOD AND THE BAD
THE GOOD: A MAN SAW HIS DAUGHTER BEING CHOKED, SO HE JUMPED OUT A SECOND-STORY WINDOW AND SHOT THE ATTACKER IN THE GROIN:
Now it's time to recognize our Hero of the Day . . . an unidentified 56-year-old man from Phoenix, Arizona. --Around 1:30 A.M. Wednesday morning, the man heard someone screaming in his front yard. When he looked outside, he saw his 27-year-old daughter being CHOKED by her ex-boyfriend . . . 26-year-old Daniel Fuches. --Apparently, Daniel and the daughter had gotten a drink together earlier in the night. But on the ride home they got into an argument, and things turned physical once they reached the woman's home. --Anyway, the father grabbed his shotgun and fired a warning shot out the window to scare Daniel off. But when that didn't work, he climbed out the second-story window, jumped down from the roof and hit Daniel with the butt of his gun. --But Daniel still wouldn't let go of the woman's throat. So the father shot him in the leg. And after Daniel picked up a large rock to attack the father, the man fired off another shot . . . this time hitting Daniel in the GROIN. (!!!) --Long story short, Daniel and his ex-girlfriend were both treated for their injuries, and they're both expected to survive. --And Daniel was also arrested for assault. But so far, no charges have been filed against the father. (ABC 15 News - Phoenix)
THE BAD: SOME REDNECK GOT SO WASTED THAT HE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT HIS BABY
IN THE OVEN OVERNIGHT:Now it's time to recognize our Drunken Father of the Day . . . 33-year-old Larry Long of Reidland, Kentucky. --On Sunday night, Larry smoked a joint at work, then headed home to share a fifth of whiskey with his girlfriend, 33-year-old Brandy Hatton. But while Brandy had a few shots before heading to bed, Larry stayed up and finished the bottle before passing out. --The next morning around 5:30 A.M., Brandy woke up to the sound of her 5-month-old baby crying. But the sound wasn't coming from the baby's bedroom . . . it was coming from the kitchen. --Which is where she found her baby INSIDE THE OVEN. --According to police, Larry got so messed up that, in a drunken and drug-induced stupor, he stuck their kid inside the oven and left him there overnight. --Not to defend Larry's actions . . . because there's no excusing what he did . . . but it's worth pointing out that the oven wasn't on, and the door was left slightly open. Still, Brandy was so horrified that she called the cops and had Larry arrested. --On Monday, Larry was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment. If he's convicted, he could get up to five years in prison. (CNN / Paducah Sun)
THE AVERAGE MAN SPENDS 13 HOURS A WEEK DOING HOUSEWORK:
This survey took place in the UK, but we have no reason to think the results would be any different here . . . --According to a new survey, the average man spends 13 hours a week doing housework. --Broken down, it works out to 6.9 hours a week taking care of the kids, 4.7 hours doing chores around the house, and 1.5 hours on home improvement projects. But listen to this . . . --60% of men say the work they do around the house goes unnoticed by their girl. And the reason it goes unnoticed is because . . . unlike women . . . men don't, quote, "make a fuss" about all the work they do. --Overall, HALF of all men say women, quote, "show off more than men about the jobs they do in the home." (Daily Mail)
TRAINING FOR MARATHONS IS *BAD* FOR YOUR HEART:
Marathon runners are typically considered to be among the healthiest and most physically fit athletes. But a new study from the Athens Medical School in Georgia has found that's NOT necessarily true. --In fact, training for marathons may actually be BAD for your heart. --A woman named Dr. Despina Kardara led the study. She says training for marathons puts too much stress on the heart, which can lead to increased blood pressure and hardening of the aorta. --Or, in Dr. Kardara's own words, quote, "Regular long-term endurance training is generally beneficial for heart health. --"But it seems that the cardiovascular system is like a sports car engine. If you do not use it, it will decay, but if you run it too fast for too long, you might burn it out." (Health Day)
FOUR TIMES YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS:
Friends don't always give good advice, so you shouldn't listen to EVERYTHING they say. But here are four times you should ALWAYS listen to your friends . . .
#1.) WHEN THEY DON'T LIKE THE PERSON YOU'RE DATING. At the beginning of a relationship, when you're way too into the other person, you might not notice their flaws. But your friends will.--So if they say the person is totally wrong for you, listen to them. They're almost always right.
#2.) WHEN THEY SAY YOU'VE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK. If your friends tell you to switch to water, it means you're either embarrassing yourself, or you're embarrassing them. Probably both. If they say you're drunk, you are. Don't fight it.
#3.) WHEN THEY TELL YOU NOT TO DATE THEIR EX. If you ask their permission and they say no, then keep it in your pants. Your friendship won't survive if you go behind their back.--If they say it's OKAY for you to date their ex, be careful. They probably don't mean it, and they'll end up resenting you.
#4.) WHEN THEY SAY YOU DON'T LOOK FAT. Ladies, if you put on a pair of jeans and ask if they make you look fat, all you really want is an ego boost. So when your friend says "no," don't argue. It's annoying. (Glamour Magazine)
NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) A CONFUSED LAMB COULDN'T FIND ITS OWNER:Someone's pet lamb ran room-to-room Benny Hill-style because it couldn't figure out where its owner was. (--Search for "confused lamb can't find owner.") http://www.break.com/index/confused-lamb-cant-find-owner.html
#2.) A GUY WENT SURFING WITH HIS ALPACA:A surfing instructor in Peru put a life jacket on his alpaca and brought it surfing with him. They rode on the same board, and caught a few waves, but every time the alpaca stood up, it jumped into the water. (--Search for "Domingo Pianezzi alpaca surfing.")http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/peru/7459372/Surfer-trains-alpaca-to-ride-the-waves-in-Peru.html
FIVE BAD PHONE HABITS YOU SHOULD BREAK:
We're all tethered to our cell phones these days. So it's more important than ever to have good phone etiquette. Here are five things you might be doing wrong . . .
#1.) TALKING AND EATING. It sounds nasty, it's rude to the other person, and it makes you hard to understand. I know this is America, but when someone calls you, take five minutes and STOP EATING.
#2.) ASKING PEOPLE TO HOLD. Sometimes you have to, but it's annoying when people answer their call waiting all the time. Especially when THEY called YOU. There's this thing called VOICE MAIL. So use it, and just let the call ring through.
#3.) TALKING ON THE TOILET. Even if you're just going "number one," people can tell. But add in some other noises, and it gets much more disgusting.
#4.) YELLING OVER BACKGROUND NOISE. If you're at a bar or a concert where it's too loud to talk, don't call people. And don't pick up if they call you. We all text WAY too much these days, but this is one time when it's okay.
#5.) DRUNK DIALING. You won't remember much about it the next day, but it's still embarrassing. Someone out there is going to wake up, check their messages, and listen to some drunk idiot cry, laugh, or both. And that drunk idiot was you. (RegretfulMorning.com)
KEVIN COSTNER is going to have a SEVENTH child. His wife, Christine Baumgartner, is pregnant, and expecting in June. --Kevin and Christine have two kids already . . . boys who are one year and two and a half years old.

DADS OF THE DAY: THE GOOD AND THE BAD
THE GOOD: A MAN SAW HIS DAUGHTER BEING CHOKED, SO HE JUMPED OUT A SECOND-STORY WINDOW AND SHOT THE ATTACKER IN THE GROIN:
Now it's time to recognize our Hero of the Day . . . an unidentified 56-year-old man from Phoenix, Arizona. --Around 1:30 A.M. Wednesday morning, the man heard someone screaming in his front yard. When he looked outside, he saw his 27-year-old daughter being CHOKED by her ex-boyfriend . . . 26-year-old Daniel Fuches. --Apparently, Daniel and the daughter had gotten a drink together earlier in the night. But on the ride home they got into an argument, and things turned physical once they reached the woman's home. --Anyway, the father grabbed his shotgun and fired a warning shot out the window to scare Daniel off. But when that didn't work, he climbed out the second-story window, jumped down from the roof and hit Daniel with the butt of his gun. --But Daniel still wouldn't let go of the woman's throat. So the father shot him in the leg. And after Daniel picked up a large rock to attack the father, the man fired off another shot . . . this time hitting Daniel in the GROIN. (!!!) --Long story short, Daniel and his ex-girlfriend were both treated for their injuries, and they're both expected to survive. --And Daniel was also arrested for assault. But so far, no charges have been filed against the father. (ABC 15 News - Phoenix)
THE BAD: SOME REDNECK GOT SO WASTED THAT HE ACCIDENTALLY LEFT HIS BABY
IN THE OVEN OVERNIGHT:Now it's time to recognize our Drunken Father of the Day . . . 33-year-old Larry Long of Reidland, Kentucky. --On Sunday night, Larry smoked a joint at work, then headed home to share a fifth of whiskey with his girlfriend, 33-year-old Brandy Hatton. But while Brandy had a few shots before heading to bed, Larry stayed up and finished the bottle before passing out. --The next morning around 5:30 A.M., Brandy woke up to the sound of her 5-month-old baby crying. But the sound wasn't coming from the baby's bedroom . . . it was coming from the kitchen. --Which is where she found her baby INSIDE THE OVEN. --According to police, Larry got so messed up that, in a drunken and drug-induced stupor, he stuck their kid inside the oven and left him there overnight. --Not to defend Larry's actions . . . because there's no excusing what he did . . . but it's worth pointing out that the oven wasn't on, and the door was left slightly open. Still, Brandy was so horrified that she called the cops and had Larry arrested. --On Monday, Larry was charged with first-degree wanton endangerment. If he's convicted, he could get up to five years in prison. (CNN / Paducah Sun)
THE AVERAGE MAN SPENDS 13 HOURS A WEEK DOING HOUSEWORK:
This survey took place in the UK, but we have no reason to think the results would be any different here . . . --According to a new survey, the average man spends 13 hours a week doing housework. --Broken down, it works out to 6.9 hours a week taking care of the kids, 4.7 hours doing chores around the house, and 1.5 hours on home improvement projects. But listen to this . . . --60% of men say the work they do around the house goes unnoticed by their girl. And the reason it goes unnoticed is because . . . unlike women . . . men don't, quote, "make a fuss" about all the work they do. --Overall, HALF of all men say women, quote, "show off more than men about the jobs they do in the home."

TRAINING FOR MARATHONS IS *BAD* FOR YOUR HEART:
Marathon runners are typically considered to be among the healthiest and most physically fit athletes. But a new study from the Athens Medical School in Georgia has found that's NOT necessarily true. --In fact, training for marathons may actually be BAD for your heart. --A woman named Dr. Despina Kardara led the study. She says training for marathons puts too much stress on the heart, which can lead to increased blood pressure and hardening of the aorta. --Or, in Dr. Kardara's own words, quote, "Regular long-term endurance training is generally beneficial for heart health. --"But it seems that the cardiovascular system is like a sports car engine. If you do not use it, it will decay, but if you run it too fast for too long, you might burn it out." (Health Day)
FOUR TIMES YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR FRIENDS:
Friends don't always give good advice, so you shouldn't listen to EVERYTHING they say. But here are four times you should ALWAYS listen to your friends . . .
#1.) WHEN THEY DON'T LIKE THE PERSON YOU'RE DATING. At the beginning of a relationship, when you're way too into the other person, you might not notice their flaws. But your friends will.--So if they say the person is totally wrong for you, listen to them. They're almost always right.
#2.) WHEN THEY SAY YOU'VE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK. If your friends tell you to switch to water, it means you're either embarrassing yourself, or you're embarrassing them. Probably both. If they say you're drunk, you are. Don't fight it.
#3.) WHEN THEY TELL YOU NOT TO DATE THEIR EX. If you ask their permission and they say no, then keep it in your pants. Your friendship won't survive if you go behind their back.--If they say it's OKAY for you to date their ex, be careful. They probably don't mean it, and they'll end up resenting you.
#4.) WHEN THEY SAY YOU DON'T LOOK FAT. Ladies, if you put on a pair of jeans and ask if they make you look fat, all you really want is an ego boost. So when your friend says "no," don't argue. It's annoying. (Glamour Magazine)
NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) A CONFUSED LAMB COULDN'T FIND ITS OWNER:Someone's pet lamb ran room-to-room Benny Hill-style because it couldn't figure out where its owner was. (--Search for "confused lamb can't find owner.") http://www.break.com/index/confused-lamb-cant-find-owner.html
#2.) A GUY WENT SURFING WITH HIS ALPACA:A surfing instructor in Peru put a life jacket on his alpaca and brought it surfing with him. They rode on the same board, and caught a few waves, but every time the alpaca stood up, it jumped into the water. (--Search for "Domingo Pianezzi alpaca surfing.")http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/peru/7459372/Surfer-trains-alpaca-to-ride-the-waves-in-Peru.html
FIVE BAD PHONE HABITS YOU SHOULD BREAK:
We're all tethered to our cell phones these days. So it's more important than ever to have good phone etiquette. Here are five things you might be doing wrong . . .
#1.) TALKING AND EATING. It sounds nasty, it's rude to the other person, and it makes you hard to understand. I know this is America, but when someone calls you, take five minutes and STOP EATING.
#2.) ASKING PEOPLE TO HOLD. Sometimes you have to, but it's annoying when people answer their call waiting all the time. Especially when THEY called YOU. There's this thing called VOICE MAIL. So use it, and just let the call ring through.
#3.) TALKING ON THE TOILET. Even if you're just going "number one," people can tell. But add in some other noises, and it gets much more disgusting.
#4.) YELLING OVER BACKGROUND NOISE. If you're at a bar or a concert where it's too loud to talk, don't call people. And don't pick up if they call you. We all text WAY too much these days, but this is one time when it's okay.
#5.) DRUNK DIALING. You won't remember much about it the next day, but it's still embarrassing. Someone out there is going to wake up, check their messages, and listen to some drunk idiot cry, laugh, or both. And that drunk idiot was you. (RegretfulMorning.com)
