Two great things that go WRONG together

Today, a disturbing number of things that just don’t belong together, like:

Carrie Prejean and books: the former beauty queen has scored a big paycheque for her story of how the gays have silenced her. Irony is dead.

John Barrowman and race cars: while appearing on “Fifth Gear” this week, the “Torchwood” star forgot that while his character is immortal, he is not!

MC Hammer and Twitter: 140 characters makes one for every minute of his career.

Chris Brown and a teleprompter: he may be trying to beat
criminal charges like he did Rhianna but blankly reading canned
speeches? “Take You Down,” indeed:

— “Harry Potter” and voodoo: Geraldo Rivera on FOX News mixes the new movie, Christian exorcisms, “True Blood” and transphobia into a big gumbo of crazy:

Henry Louis Gates Jr. and, apparently, his own house: the renowned Harvard professor was arrested on a SAHWB (Sitting at Home While Black)!

Rick Astley and Nirvana: here’s where I give up though — if loving this is wrong, I don’t want to be right!

 

A former editor of the late, lamented fab magazine, Scott has been writing for Xtra since 2007 on a variety of topics in news pieces, interviews, blogs, reviews and humour pieces. He lives on the Danforth with his boyfriend of 12 years, a manic Jack Russell Terrier, a well-stocked mini-bar and a shelf of toy Daleks.
