The seemingly never-ending Minnesota Senate race has transformed into a full-on legal dustup as perpetual windbag Al Franken (seriously, can we look into using this guy’s mouth as a source of green energy?) prepares to defend his 225-vote lead against extremely boring (and Republican) incumbent Norm Coleman in court. We think the whole thing might be a sick, delusional joke by Franken to create the longest SNL sketch in history.
In other celebrity news no one should care about, Damon Dash, the man behind Jay-Z and (cough cough) Victoria Beckham’s illustrious music careers, has been battling with ex-girlfriend Linda Williams over their son’s education. Williams claims that 18-year-old “Boogie” left her Long Island residence in early December to live with Papa and hasn’t been to school since. But Mr. Dash is all “Chill out you crazy bird. Boog’s just hangin’ until Christmas break is over.” (Of course, he did not actually say this verbatim, but we’re sure something very similar is running through his mind.) However, according to Page Six, the Boogster accompanied his dad to a New Year’s Eve DJ event at the Plumm nightclub… so maybe it’s the School of Hard Knocks he’ll be attending this semester? Either way we think Mom should just get off her son’s jock. The kid’s 18. What do you expect him to do? At least Dad’s around to make sure he’s not frothing at the mouth when 1 AM rolls around.
