• Yep, turns out Rachel Marsden isn't at all bitter about getting booted from her recurring gig at Red Eye.
• There's nothing like sitting in your lawnchair for a solid 9 hours. Particularly if it's 1,000 feet in the air.
• Don't you just hate it when you go to Club Med for a relaxing week of fun in the sun, watermelon martinis, and, of course, the swinging trapeze, when all of sudden, you hear this horrible rumor that the magazine you worked for no longer exists?
• Vincent Chase, keep your pants on! Apparently, the only full frontal male nudity we'll be seeing on this season of Entourage is that of the "unattractive tranny" persuasion.
• Joel Madden is pissed at unemployed loser Spencer Pratt for allegedly referring to his rapidly expanding girlfriend (she's up to Size 0 now!) as a "skinny bitch."
In sad, albeit not particularly surprising news, frequent Red Eye correspondent&mdash Rachel Marsden, (best known as Canada's answer to Ann Coulter) has announced that she will be parting ways from Greg Gutfield's semi-popular late night gabfest.
Below, is Marsden's blog entry announcing her departure, which in no way acknowledges reports that security "hastily escorted" her out of Fox News Channel's midtown headquarters earlier this week.
May 30/07: A note to inquiring Red Eye viewers: I will no longer be appearing on the show, as I have been told that it is heading in a "different direction" from its inception, and I am the "first casualty". As a political and news commentator, being a panelist on what had become a totally off-the-wall-and-into-orbit show was an interesting experience. It was also the first time that I was ever considered the "sane one" on any program, so I am grateful for that unique opportunity and wish the boys the very best of luck.
In other words, "they fired my ass." Which sounds much more direct, somehow! Note to Rachel: As a general rule, anyone who feels the need to brag about being "the sane one" on the show is probably slightly crazypants.
Oh, and also a sign that you're not the "sane" one? Doing something that warrants your being escorted out in the middle of the afternoon by two burly, non-smiling security guards.
Or having a criminal record for stalking people.
Yesterday, we told you about Rachel Marsden, the Canadian pundit (and nightly contributor to Red Eye) who recently grabbed headlines for refusing to acknowledge the damaging effects false rape charges have on the wrongfully accused. Which was particularly scandalous in light of reports yesterday that revealed Marsden has a history of stalking her college professors, pleading guilty to criminal harassment and filing extremely questionable date rape and sexual assault charges.
Then last night, Keith Olbermann got in on the fun on Countdown, naming Marsden as the Number One Newsmaker of the Day for, "explain[ing] to Fox viewers how the Duke lacrosse players won't suffer any long-term aftereffects from the false rape accusations made against them."
And while Marsden certainly may have set herself up for media criticism, Olbermann's scrutiny is already causing some people to wonder whether it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
