Miley Cyrus Controversy – Hollywood on Auto Pilot

In what smells like a publicity stunt, a series of racy “personal” pictures involving current teen sensation Miley Cyrus have popped up recently on the Internet. This is not a Traci Lords type scandal. The photos are pretty tame unless you consider that Cyrus has just turned fifteen and already seems to trying to copy [...]

The magical potions and elixirs supplied by the wizards have been leaving theScoundrel with a more powerful than usual appetite at times. I also find myself having cravings for certain foods. Tuesday night was no exception. For some reason I have been craving Milk Shakes in the last few weeks since I hurt my ankle/heel [...]

Despite early success in coping with normal activity during a current siege from a wicked antagonist named Ten Dinitis, theScoundrel suffered a setback that limited his exposure [...]
