Senate Race Sex Scandal
For all the Star Trek/Boston Public geeks...
Senate Race Sex Scandal
"JUNE 22--In what may prove a crippling blow to his U.S. Senate campaign, divorce records reveal that Illinois Republican Jack Ryan was accused by his former wife, actress Jeri Ryan, of pressuring her to have sex at swinger's clubs in New York, Paris, and New Orleans while other patrons watched. The bombshell allegation is contained amidst nearly 400 pages of records ordered released yesterday by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge who ruled on media requests to unseal documents from the Ryan case. The salacious charge leveled at the politician was made by Jeri Ryan, who has starred in TV's 'Star Trek: Voyager' and 'Boston Public,' in a court filing in connection with child custody proceedings (you'll find a portion of that heavily redacted September 2000 document below). The performer alleged that she refused Ryan's requests for public sex during the excursions, which included a trip to a New York club 'with cages, whips and other apparatus hanging from the ceiling.' While Ryan confirmed the trips with the actress, he described them simply as 'romantic getaways,' denying her claims that he sought public sex. The politician has repeatedly claimed that his divorce file--portions of which were sealed in 2000 and 2001--contained no embarrassing information that would harm his chances against Democratic nominee Barack Obama. The Ryans were married in 1991 and, in November 1998, Jeri Ryan filed for divorce citing 'irreconcilable differences.'"

Got His Tongue - June 17, 2004
Eeewwww!
Got His Tongue - June 17, 2004
"Meet Pamela Johnson. The 43-year-old Minnesota woman was swapping spit early yesterday morning with her boyfriend at her St. Paul home (the couple, together for about six months, were making up/making out after a fight). That's when, for no apparent reason, Johnson allegedly bit off about an inch-and-a-half of her 47-year-old boyfriend's tongue. The man was treated at a local hospital and released, but St. Paul cops were unable to track down the missing tongue and think [WARNING: you may gag if you read further] that Johnson might have swallowed her beau's tongue. Arrested for assault, Johnson was booked into the Ramsey County jail, where officers snapped the below mug shot."
