Foxy Brown Is "On An Assignment From God'

Fresh off getting mooning charges against her dropped, diminutive rapper Foxy Brown sat down with the NY Post to discuss how she's incredibly misunderstood, "The mooning thing bothered me more than anything else in the past -- because I'm a lady." She also revealed that since she lost her hearing, she feels, "I'm on an assignment from God." Who knew she had so many things in common with Sarah Palin? more ›

Grifter Granny Says She Used to Be A Model

Grifter Granny Says She Used to Be A Model

According to her driver's license, the 76-year-old woman who was recently busted for stealing a wallet from a Fairway shopping cart is named Charlotte Petrovas. She's been arrested 73 times over the years under dozens of different aliases, and the assistant DA says they've had trouble verifying her identity because she "virtually burned off the fingers on both hands, which makes fingerprinting virtually impossible." In an interview with the Post, she explained that "my father died when I was young, so I had to go to work. I was a model in the Fashion District. I did that for years, but then I had an accident and broke three bones in my back and went on disability." She says she's not a "career criminal" but stole "just to get the things I need." more ›

Elderly "Pickpocket Terrorist" Has No Fingerprints!

Elderly "Pickpocket Terrorist" Has No Fingerprints!

It turns out that senior citizen who was deemed a "pickpocket terrorist" by an unidentified cop after her wallet-snatching arrest at Fairway is pretty hardcore. The Post reports that the 76-year-old ex-con cannot be fingerprinted because she burned all her fingertips. Experts (or anyone who's seen Se7en) say that to permanently remove fingerprints one would have to use corrosive acid, burn them, or get plastic surgery. It's not known how the woman got rid of hers, and because of her penchant for aliases, even her lawyer can't figure out her real identity: "She keeps bouncing addresses. She moves here and there every few months. To be honest, I don't even know her real name." This is getting creepy! Maybe tomorrow we'll find out she has no DNA? more ›

Elderly "Pickpocket Terrorist" Arrested Again

A 76-year-old ex-con who's been arrested some 37 times over the past three decades is behind bars again after being caught in a sting operation at the Upper West Side Fairway on Broadway. Responding to complaints about pickpockets working the aisles, undercover cops left a wallet in a shopping cart and arrested the woman after she allegedly stuffed it into her bra, sources tell the Post. The suspect, who goes by many aliases—the most current being Katherine Kelly—most recently did a year at Rikers after being caught thieving while on parole. more ›

Opinionist: <em>Lady</em>

Opinionist: Lady

Note to self: When heading off into the woods with a group of rifle-toting friends from childhood, leave stuff like politics and infidelity off the list of discussion topics. In Craig Wright's modest one-act Lady, the voluble and disgruntled Dyson (Paul Sparks) just can't keep the conversation light. A passionate liberal college teacher in small-town Illinois, Dyson blames his old friend Graham (David Wilson Barnes), a congressman, for inspiring his 18-year-old son to join the marines. Kenny (Michael Shannon), the third amigo, is the ineffectual stoner peacemaker caught in the crossfire with his dog, the titular Lady. more ›
