Betty Deuce Made a Mess

I don't know what's going on with Betty's dress. It looks like she got splashed by some spanakopita at the royal buffet for King Constantine of Greece's 70th birthday party in London. Grease from Greece!

Nuke Your Coffee?

Do you like your coffee hot? Approximately 900,000 GE brand 12-cup digital coffee makers are being recalled, per the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and crap vendor Walmart.

The GE coffee maker can overheat, causing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

According to GE's website, they have "provided advanced and sophisticated technology for nuclear energy for over five decades. Four main product lines support this capability: new reactors, nuclear fuel, reactor services and performance services."

They can't make a goddamned coffee maker that doesn't blow up, and they're building nuclear reactors. Swell.

CAMILLA DOWN!!!

OH THE HORROR! Word just broke out of London that Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has fallen and broken her leg!!

The 62-year-old was hiking (i.e., getting away from Charles) near Chuck's home in Scotland when she slipped and fractured her left leg.

Clarence House reports that she will continue to discharge her royal duties.

Oh, Camilla, we love you, please get up.

Teenage hairdresser dies in explosion after cigarette ignites hair bleach left in her car

A teenage hairdresser was killed after her cigarette ignited fumes from a leaking bottle of hydrogen peroxide on the passenger side footwell. I hate when that happens.

Jenny Mitchell's Mini Cooper was engulfed in flames after the explosion.

Goodbye, Robert Culp

Robert Culp, 79, fell and hit his head yesterday and died. Kind of a crummy way to die, but not uncommon.

In 1981, William Holden fell and hit his head on a nightstand and bled to death while in a vodka stupor. He was 63.

Zara in the Rain

That stylish blonde is Zara Phillips, 28, eldest granddaughter of Betty Deuce, seen on day four of the Cheltenham Horse Racing Festival. Her mother is Princess Anne, the Princess Royal.

Zara is in a relationship with rugby player Mike Tindall, who was busted last January for drunk driving.

Zara, an equine physiotherapist, broke a collarbone in a fall from a horse in 2008. The horse broke its neck and had to be put down.

Camilla in Wonderland

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, in her Soviet General coat, greets the cast of a bookshop's "Mad Hatter Tea Party" in London. How awkward for her to have to meet the Queen of Hearts -- Diana's nickname!

The duchess also read excerpts from "Alice in Wonderland" to celebrate World Book Day. Awkward.

Happy Birthday, Tom Mix

Radio and film cowboy Tom Mix was born on this day in 1880. He died in a single-car crash on a lonely Arizona highway in 1940. Here's the memorial in Arizona.


And here's a Tom Mix makeup tin (about the size of a quarter) from my personal collection.
