Faith in humanity temporarily restored


It's not easy being mean. Sure, when you come across something that involves the words "Celebrity," "Rehab," and "VH1", your faith in humanity dies a little bit as you type out a snarky retort. But sometimes professional blogging (a real job, unlike Bigfoot hunters) can make you a little bit cynical. It's almost enough sometimes to make you want to get rid of your wireless connection. But then there are stories like this one: How the three actors who took over Heath Ledger's part in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus after the actor's death earlier this year will be donating the money they make from the film to Ledger's daughter, Matilda. Ledger never had a chance to update his will before his unexpected death, so there has been worries that Matilda would not be taken care of. Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell are all commendable for making one sour old blogger believe that humanity is not all running to The Hills.

Dessarae Bradford

She may not be quite at the level of Cruiseazy crazy, but Dessarae Bradford is slowly walking the line to the loony bin. In her hit MySpace single, "I Fucked Alec Baldwin in His Ass/The Truth About Colin Farrell" (which will never, ever stop being funny), Dessarae proclaims "Colin Farrell is my bitch. Colin Farrell is my bitch." (Seriously, listen to it.)

But after she stalked Farrell, she attempted to get a restraining order against him for stalking her, and went bonkers on the Miami Vice/Nicole Narain sex tape star during the Tonight Show, Farrell finally decided that if anyone was a bitch, it was whack attack Bradford. He finally got his own restraining order to keep the nutcase away.

Of course, Bradford didn't show up to her court date yesterday … but that didn't stop the judge from doing his public duty to protect the rich and famous.

… Judge John Reid signed an order barring her from coming within 150 yards of Farrell for three years.

The stay-away order means Bradford can't come near the "Miami Vice" star's home, work or vehicle.

We really, really do hope she's still allowed to make MySpace music, though. We're so looking forward to more "twisted puppy" lyrics.

Rather than let Colin Farrell's PR team spin what happened during Thursday's Tonight Show taping, Dessarae Bradford is holding a presser this morning to explain her side of things. You see, she wasn't looking to accost Farrell on stage — she just wanted to make sure he got served with court papers before he left the country. See? Reasonable excuse to jump on Jay Leno's stage.

Colin was too receptive toward me and he then put his arm around me and started walking me off of the stage whispering certain things to me that I will mention later, trying to avoid being detected by the microphone still attached to him at the time.

The camera that we strolled pass was still taping at the time because the red light was still on and it turned with us as we walked by obviously still recording colin and I interacting.

The whole studio was quite and no one was alarmed, because Colin's reaction was too inviting toward seeing me.

Security never came over to us, and Mr. Leno never moved from his seat nor summons his security because Colin was talking to me comfortably with his whole arm draped around me extreamly close.

COLIN FARRELL NEVER TOUCHED MY ELBOW AND SUMMONED GUARDS.

He chatted with me as I tried to explain my presence at the show, until he realized people took notice of us talking closely. he then whispered softly for security after he and I were still debating about settling this court matter before going to court. I will explain more in full detail monday.

THE PROOF IS IN THE FOOTAGE!

After the jump, Dessarae's full email to the press, and details on her press conference.

Do you remember these lyrics?

dance / dance my song / i fucked alec baldwin in his ass / i fucked alec baldwin in his ass / i fucked / i fucked / i fucked alec baldwin in his ass (ooh!) / shake your asses / on the floor / my ass had a romp with alec baldwin / my ass had a romp with alec baldwin / my ass had a romp with alec baldwin / he's my twisted puppy / colin farrell / is my bitch / colin farrell / is my bitch / ruff ruff ruff / colin farrell is my bitch / sit / beg / roll over / (heavy panting) / bring me my whip / colin farrell / a dark twisted puppy / colin farrell / a dark twisted puppy / fetch / sit

We sure do. Those are the catchy verses of the song titled "Colin Farrell Is My Bitch" – available on MySpace – by Dessarae Bradford, the phone sex operator who once sued Colin Farrell for $5,000 for allegedly sending racy text messages that caused her "mental anguish … panic attacks, aggravation and insomnia." (The suit was later thrown out.) And while Dessarae also has a book by a similar name – the tell-all Colin Farrell: A Dark Twisted Puppy – recent events have called for a reversal of fortunes: Dessarae is becoming Colin's bitch.

After a sneak attack during Farrell's Tonight Show With Jay Leno taping on Thursday – wherein she managed to get on stage before Colin escorted her offstage and into the hands of security – Colin reacted by securing a restraining order against his No. 1 stalkerfan. Unfortunately for those not in attendance at the Tonight Show, the encounter didn't make the air — which crazies like Bradford usually hope for.

Colin Farrell

So that's why Colin Farrell was in New York this week. When we ran into him Thursday on 10th Street, he didn't have much to say except that he hadn't heard of Jossip. When we mentioned that his attorneys certainly have, his interest grew, at least until we explained why we're on a first name basis with the folks at Lavely & Singer: We've dealt with them exhaustively on all matters of his Nicole Narain sex tape. (At that piont he grew noticeably uncomfortable, given he was on the sidewalk macking it to some random lass.)

And then we hear today, with Rush & Molloy delivering the scoop, that he spent Easter Sunday with Narain's camp and an arbitrator, reaching an "amicable" settlement in the matter.

The two hadn't seen each other face to face since word leaked last year that representatives for Narain were peddling an explicit video from the couple's romp.

Matthews insists that there was "no tension" between the former couple. But we hear that they sat on opposite ends of the negotiating table - and in separate rooms - and that ­Farrell showed little affection for the woman who, so far, has cost him an estimated $500,000 in legal fees.

And here's we details get sketchy. You see, also present was our favorite sex tape proprieter David Hans Schmidt, who did not reach a deal with Farrell and is thus still on the receiving end of his litigation. Schmidt's lawyers, meanwhile, demanded to videotape Farrell's testimony on the condition they don't release the tape, but they may argue before a judge to release the tape and then target Narain for breaching her contract with Schmidt's Internet Commerce Group for settling with Farrell.

So while we've got a settlement between Farrell and Narain, there's no deal between Farrell and Schmidt, which means there might be new lawsuits between Narain and Schmidt. And, what's more, there will be another video tape (of Farrell talking about his sex life) to look forward too. Whee!

Colin Farrell at the Gen Art Film Festival

Sure, the Tribeca Film Festival is just around the corner, but first we've got smaller players to field — namely the Gen Art Film Festival. The Acura-heavy week-long event was sure to have some pleasantries, as evidenced by last night's screening of Shut Up And Sing, where the ensemble cast of Molly Shannon & Co. proved there's more to laugh at the Hamptons about than coked up publicists at Star Room. (And kudos to to the cast for having everyone show up.)

But that's not where the fun ends, especially when Colin Farrell's involved. You remember him from such films as Phone Booth, Alexander, and, oh yeah, that porn flic with Nicole Narain.

The recovering alcoholic – who wrapped Miami Vice before entering rehab for pain killer dependency in December – showed up Thursday night to catch Wristcutters: A Love Story at the Clearview West cinema in Chelsea. And while Open All Night was reporting the just-out-of-rehab Irishman sipped only Coca-Cola across the street at the Westside Tavern before the movie, we hear his imbibing at the afterparty at BED wasn't typical of a supposed teetotaler.

No doubt sipping plenty of the sponsor-provided Johnny Walker Black Label (or was it Citroc vodka?), Farrell spent the evening getting sloshed — to the dismay of the hoards of publicists catering to every aspect of the event. Noticeably absent? Farrell's own publicist, Danica Smith, who we hear actually phoned in before the event to request handlers escort Colin from the party if he got out of control. In the end, that's exactly what happened when the Black Label started looking like colors of the rainbow.

Dessarae Bradford

Just because Colin Farrell's lawsuit with Nicole Narrain has been pushed back till July 17 doesn't mean the sex tape fun has to come to an end like Natasha Lyonne's acting career.

Which is why we'd like to draw your attention to the website with what is perhaps the best website name we've ever heard of: "I fucked Alec Baldwin in his ass / The truth about Colin Farrell."

Never have those two thought processes ever reached such tandem in our minds. Nor should they.

The name of the site, it so happens, is also the name of the "dance single" from Dessarae Bradford — who, we've come to understand, identifies as a "musical artist" whose claims to fame actually do include having sex with Alec Baldwin (and her dog, and a strap on). Her single – which is sure to be at the top of the Billboard Club charts in just a matter of days – can be sampled at her MySpace profile. And in our continued commitment to service journalism, we've provided you with some lyrics:

dance / dance my song / i fucked alec baldwin in his ass / i fucked alec baldwin in his ass / i fucked / i fucked / i fucked alec baldwin in his ass (ooh!) / shake your asses / on the floor / my ass had a romp with alec baldwin / my ass had a romp with alec baldwin / my ass had a romp with alec baldwin / he's my twisted puppy / colin farrell / is my bitch / colin farrell / is my bitch / ruff ruff ruff / colin farrell is my bitch / sit / beg / roll over / (heavy panting) / bring me my whip / colin farrell / a dark twisted puppy / colin farrell / a dark twisted puppy / fetch / sit

Needless to say, we've listened to it a half dozen times already. But why, we must ask, is Dessarae targeting Colin and Alec? She explains: "I am WAGING WAR ON COLIN FARRELL.in this song and Alec Baldwin's ass is just a casualty of war! It is a phat underground house beat sound - and the controversy about my song has already started. YOU WILL LOVE IT! ORDER IT TODAY!"

Glad that's cleared up.

Now, Dessarae, the entrepreneur that she is, isn't willing to just have a hit single. Nope — she's got a book too! We're not sure what, exactly, fills its pages, but we do know that she's running a special: $50 for the book and a (very illegal) copy of Colin's sex tape! Take that, Lavely & Singer!

And as if the single, the book, and the DVD weren't enough, there's a custom cocktail to match!

Name of Drink: "COLIN FARRELL IS MY BITCH"

INGREDIENTS
1/2 oz Bacardi 151 rum
1/2 oz Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps
1/2 oz Jagermeister herbal liqueur
1/2 oz Patron

Given that Kevin Federline has only offered us "PopoZao" without a book, DVD, or means of getting drunk, we're inclined to start routing for the one and only, Dessarae Bradford. We just love a gal that turns Alec Baldwin into a necessary casualty of war.

A visit moments ago to DirtyColin.com – the very brief unauthorized online home of Colin Farrell and Nicole Narrain's sex tape – yielded this message (click image for larger version):

DirtyColin.com screenshot

It turns out that – despite claims the site would be back online within 24 to 48 hours of it dropping off the Internet – John Taylor wasn't able to keep the site online. Colin's attorneys at Lavely & Singer appear to have done something right, as the domain is no longer registered to Taylor but instead to "Moniker Disputed Names" of Pompano Beach, Florida, presumably a limbo zone where the domain will sit until the proper legal docs are filed and ICANN gets around to granting Colin's wishes.

Too bad for Lavely & Singer, however, that DirtyColin.com already managed to spread its seed: The 13+ minutes of X-rated footage first reported back in July has already seeped online, thanks to the one and only Tmobile Terrorist.

Yep, the same group responsible for Paris Hilton and Fred Durst's sex tapes hitting the Web are claiming responsibility for hacking the digital rights management (DRM) technology and disseminating the tape. We at Jossip have seen the footage and can attest to its authenticity (including all of Nicole Narain's dental flossing with Farrell's jungle bush and the frightenly white pussy cat that looks to be Colin and Nicole's only spectator).

While the tape is currently available only to members on the porn site Twisted Topics, Tmobile Terrorist assured us the tape will soon be made available – free of charge – to anyone who wants to see it.

I am planning on hosting the video on another server somewhere as soon as I can free one up I only put this on this server to show you I have the video and will be releasing it to the net for FREE

I will tell you what, Last year when I had the durst legal on my ass for releasing his video I came up with an alternative which I will implememnt [sic] until I have found suitable hosting These details will be posted on my site for your readers to receive this video if they want it.

Anyone who wants this vid will get it…. These details will be in the forum after they have joined they can receive the video.

And you can bet our friends at Lavely & Singer will be monitoring those forums like a pedophile does the door at underage club Crush. Let the legal battle commence, full throttle.

Update: We've since been informed that the party claiming responsibility for the tape is "Tmobile Terrorist," not "T-Mobile Terrorists," as we originally reported. We've corrected the error in the copy of the article but not in the headline, due to our permalinking structure.

Nicole & Colin

Just when we thought we were done with legal papers for the (very early) morning, we hear from Colin Farrell's attorneys.

By now you've probably seen the completely tongue-in-cheek (well, at least it wasn't tounge in vagina, like some sites) screencap image we've been using to accompany our all-Colin Farrell, all the time coverage of his sex tape with Nicole Narain. Well, you weren't the only one: Colin's attorneys saw it too and, thanks to that silly injunction issued by the Honorable David Yaffe in Los Angeles, we've been forced to remove it.

But don't worry, not all of our fun has to be spoiled.

There is no court order, after all, barring us from republishing the cease and desist letter that just arrived in fax machine, inbox, and – if only because it was midnight here in New York when the beeps and buzzes started sounding – nearly our door from our new friends at Lavely & Singer.

Because if you can't peak at stills of Colin going down on Nicole, at the very least you can read about how much Colin doesn't want you to peak at stills of him going down on Nicole.

The legalese, after the jump.
