She’s no prison rat. And her new $1,200 "vibrator" is "a very good tool," ex-con domestic diva Martha Stewart confided in a raunchy riposte with Sirius Satellite Radio colleague Howard Stern. The usually stiff-shirt Stewart showed her down-and-dirty side last week. She recalled dating Mayor Bloomberg "years ago" – and confessed she couldn’t get past the Hannibal Lecter character while dating "Silence of the Lambs" actor Anthony Hopkins. "Do you want someone eating your brain while you are sitting in your beautiful dining room in Maine?" she wondered. "I would have probably had a very nice relationship with Anthony Hopkins but I couldn’t get past the Lechter thing." She called her current beau a filthy-rich Microsoft retiree with his own plane and boat. "Those guys have all the toys," she said. The woman imprisoned for the ImClone insider-trading scandal also said she ran into "girls with mustaches and girls with beards [who] would ask me for lunch" behind bars. "They also wanted to learn," she added ". . . Everybody in prison has a business plan." She said she always told guards that she’d simply fallen whenever they asked her to snitch on who had bruised her arm. And she’s still fuming at Donald Trump over her axed spinoff of "The Apprentice." "Don’t sit us next to each other," she said.
This is Mimi, the first cat to give birth to puppies, her owner claims. Brazilian Cassia Aparecida de Souza, 18, says three of the cat’s six offspring, which were born three months after Mimi mated with a neighbour’s dog, have canine traits. A geneticist from the Passo Fundo University plans to take blood samples from the animals to verify the claim.
An employee at the Ford Hapeville plant, on his last day of work before his forced early retirement, won nearly a quarter-million dollars on a scratch-off lottery ticket. Jerome McInnis, 52, of College Park, stopped at a convenience store on Fayetteville Road early Friday to buy gas, Georgia Lottery officials said. The 13-year Ford employee purchased a $5 ticket for the "Bah Humbucks" game. The ticket was a winner, good for $225,000, lottery officials said. "I paid for the gas, but I was so excited that I drove off and forgot to get my gas," McInnis said in a press release issued by the lottery. McInnis is the first lottery player to win the top prize in Bah Humbucks, which went on sale Tuesday. McInnis said he elected to take the early retirement package offered to Ford employees when the decision was made to shut down the Hapeville assembly plant. "This comes at a great time," he said of his new-found wealth. He said he plans to invest most of his winnings, according to the lottery press release. "This will enable me to take care of everything," he said.
