Gov Paterson isn't the only one with aides who act out—this week the Rev. Al Sharpton's number one helper was arrested for assaulting another woman in the home of her boyfriend, Hassaun McFarlan. Rachel Noerdlinger, media strategist for Sharpton, fought with her boyfriend's ex-flame, who her lawyer says is "delusional in that she’s told police that she’s dating Hassaun." But police reported that Noerdlinger was at fault: "There was pushing and shoving, and [Layne] fell to the ground there was cursing back and forth —‘You’re a bitch.’ ‘You’re a ho’—all that nonsense. Rachel was the primary aggressor ... It was a cheesy catfight." more ›

Project Runway finalist Kenley Collins tried to set the record about her reported cat-throwing incident straight. Last week, she was arrested for apparently assaulting her now ex-fiancee Zachary Penley by throwing with a number of items at him during an argument: A laptop, apples, and, yes, their cat Arlo (she also allegedly slammed a door on Penley's head). According to the Post, Collins said, "The story portrayed in the papers is false. The only reason why a cat was involved in this story is because when I first approached Zak, I was holding my cat and it was gently tossed onto my bed." The fashion designer's mom tells the Daily News, "Zak's cat, Arlo, was bothering her so she plopped him on a down comforter on the bed and told Zak to 'go feed him.' That's all there was to it." At any rate, we hope Arlo is okay—he is apparently staying with Penley while Collins is taking their other cat. more ›

But the fashion designer tells the Post, "It was a miscommunication." more ›

It comes as no surprise that model Cindy Guyer would bring the same stormy passion to her husband's fraud trail as she does to the covers of such indispensable romance novels as Tiger Dance and Desire's Song. So last week there was major drama when Guyer showed up at husband Andrew Catapano's trial (the construction honcho is charged with bribing union officials) and spotted his new girlfriend sitting in the front row. more ›
