Balloon Boy Pukes On TV, But Was That Just For "A Show" Too?

Is the media frenzy over the balloon boy stunt making you sick? You're not the only one! Parents Richard and Mayumi Heene are very busy pimping themselves out to the networks, and they're not about to let their li'l star's stomach virus stand in the way of their precious 15 minutes. This morning Falcon—the six-year-old boy who was hiding in the attic while America was voyeuristically titillated worried sick that he was in a runaway helium balloon—vomited twice on two different talk shows this morning, just like a pussified wus.

Cab Ride From Hell: Speeding, Barfing, Punching

A woman tells the Post about her terrible cab ride: Yolanda Rodriguez claims that her driver punched her... because she threw up in the cab after he refused to stop speeding. She explained, "I get motion sickness and he was driving really, really fast. I said, 'I'll throw up in the car,' but he wouldn't slow down." She and a friend hailed a cab driven by Gurpreet Singh at Broadway and West 65th around 11:30 p.m. last week; after Rodriguez's unheard plea for him to stop speeding and her bout of motion sickness, Singh allegedly yelled, ''Get the f--- out of my car. Get out of my car right now. You guys are whores and bitches.'" Rodriguez says that when she asked him not to say that, he hit her—then she hit him back and he "began walloping her, punching her on the forehead head so hard she fell down." Singh was charged with third degree assault and suspended by the TLC for the time being. When the Post called him, Singh responded, "Don't f----- bother me, f---."
