You would think that nobody wants to take credit for Britney Spears' infamous breakdown, but Courtney Love defies all expectations. The former(?) train wreck opened up to January's Elle UK about what a trailblazer she is for today's crazy stars:
I had a long, hard fall. I set the stage for Britney to crash and burn. I went through it all first.

Scientology's biggest advocate and worst spokesperson, Tom Cruise, is addressing that whole misunderstanding in which he jumped up and down on Oprah's couch like a crazy person. Of course, none of it makes much sense:
There are things that I could have done better. I could have handled things better. I was surprised at the criticism but it brought everyone closer together: Katie's entire family and my family. Going through that stuff is not pleasant and I think it hit an extreme, but Kate's a very sure and confident and strong woman. She gets it, you know.
She gets that you're insane? That's good. And on to daughter Suri, who is constantly paraded in front of the paparazzi like a circus pony:
I don't want her to be afraid of people. I'm not going to live in fear or have her be frightened of people. She's very open and warm with lots of love and understanding. She's happy and fun. She'll just wave to people in the street.
Fair enough, Tom, but remember: It's one thing to raise a child to be friendly, it's another to raise a child to be emotionally unstable. We have a feeling you're teetering on the latter scenario.
Some crazy person showed up at LA's Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre yesterday waving around two samurai swords, because that's always a great idea. Sure enough, the man was shot and killed by one of the church's security guards. Is anyone surprised by this?
Police did not release the name of the guard or the man killed in the shooting, which occurred about noon. An investigator said the man had a history with the church but was not a member now. The tape showed the man arriving at the Celebrity Centre's Bronson Avenue parking lot in a red convertible, getting out of the vehicle and approaching a trio of security guards and waving a sword in each hand, [the LAPD deputy chief] said.
He said the man, who was described as being in his 40s, was 'close enough to hurt them' when the guard fired. The man was taken to County-USC Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
It was only a matter of time before something like this happened, we're just shocked it took this long.
Today marks the end of an ear-piercing, tween-infused era, thanks to the final episode of TRL airing tonight — and it's live, which is more than we can say about it over the past couple of years. Has-been Carson Daly will host the finale, which is fitting because the years he ran the show were the Glory Days for not only Carson but TRL itself. After many years of pimping out boy bands and Britneys, the show took a turn for the worst, no longer filming live, losing host after host, offering a haven for sad tweens who eat their hair — and making life miserable for Mollygood editors who braved the masses for their favorite singers.
After the jump, a look at our favorite moments from the show's 10-year run. CONTINUED »
Jay Newman, the pastor of St Mary Catholic Church in Greenville, SC, is asking parishioners who voted for Barack Obama to not present themselves for Communion until they've gone to confession and asked for forgiveness for cooperating with "intrinsic evil," "lest they eat and drink their own condemnation."
After the jump, this rotten, corrupted bastard Newman's letter of explanation:

As gruesome counterpoint to Law and Order, where the stories are ripped from the headlines, a Canadian man was arrested trying to plagiarize a a page out of Michael C. Hall's book when he allegedly lured a man into his garage and killed him in a style similar to Showtime's anti-hero serial killer, Dexter.
The story came out around Halloween and it was weird enough to warrant a post, but there was all that election fervor and it got lost in the wayside. So here's the deal: Canadian "filmmaker" Peter Twitchell convinced Johnny Altinger that he was meeting a woman he met on an Internet dating site. But Twitchell was actually making his own movie, that was a sequel to the Star Wars franchise, included a member of the original cast, and apparently necessitated a snuff scene.
LOHAN ON OBAMA • "It's an amazing feeling, y'know? It's our first colored president."
Twilight, the teen, vampire, romance movie based on a hyper-successful series of books, has yet to be released and very possibly could be terrible. But that didn't stop throngs of screaming tweens from trampling each other yesterday at a Hot Topic autograph signing with the film's creepy lead, Robert Pattinson.
This violent display of idol worship took place not in some abandoned backwater, but "civilized" Western metropolis San Francisco. A young girl's nose was broken, the cops came and the event was cancelled, all because we're still having trouble teaching our kids to appreciate their teachers more than movie goblins.
The persecution of "witches" throughout the African continent continues.
Far worse than Thomas Muthee, Sarah Palin's spiritual adviser who famously ran an old lady from his village in Kenya after deeming her evil, is the story of the "child-witches" of Nigeria. Convinced by insane, stupid, greedy clerics that their children are being possessed wholesale by demons, Nigerian parents have taken to abandoning boys and girls as young as five after torturing them for their sins. The innocents who have survived their attacks now clog the West African nation's refuges.
What a response! It's slightly heartwarming to know that I'm not the only one with psychotic Facebook friends — but it's also frightening to realize just how many crazy people are out there. Thanks to the overwhelming number of entries for Most Ignorant Facebook User Ever, we've broken it down into sections. Enjoy (and weep for our country)!
SORE, SCARY LOSERS "… a family who had supported Obama's campaign emerged from their home in the northwestern New Jersey town of Hardwick Thursday morning to find the charred remnants of a 6-foot wooden cross on their front lawn. Pieces of a homemade bed-sheet banner reading 'President Obama — Victory '08,' which had been stolen from the yard the night before, also were found, leading investigators to believe the banner had been wrapped around the cross before it was set afire."
DIVIDE AND CONQUER Only three days after the election, the conservatives are doing exactly what we Obama maniacs hoped they would. Rather than taking their loss Tuesday in stride, regrouping and focusing on getting stronger, the right is consuming itself with useless finger-pointing. The Free Republic forum, a major Web destination for conservatives and nationalists, is calling for a boycott of Fox News for being too harsh to Sarah Palin in the wake of the election. Hahahahaha. Rejoice! Machiavelli would be proud.
DIDDY DRUNK ON OBAMA'S POWER "Giddy over Obama's victory, Diddy enforced a 'presidential attire' dress code so strictly that more than 60 guests were turned away. (Among them was a member of Jay's entourage, who griped, 'Diddy's no President!') The birthday boy, who wore black tie and a diamond pinky ring the size of a Ping-Pong ball, told the crowd: 'Everybody is a VIP with a black President!'"
KEEP SENDING IN YOUR CRAZY FACEBOOK FRIENDS' STATUSES There's still time! We'll do a round-up tomorrow, so if you have any disturbing Facebook statuses from your sad Republican friends, send them in: whitney@mollygood.com.
Ralph Nader, public safety crusader and notorious wet blanket, skipped away with just one percent of the popular vote on Tuesday, a negligible amount that, thank Allah, bore no effect on the election (unlike the Green candidate's percentage in 2000). Upon being rendered meaningless by the general American opinion, the droopy-eyed, sad-assed Nader did what any bullshit attention whore does: he threw a disgusting temper tantrum, during which he tacitly called the President-elect an "Uncle Tom." Jeeeeeeeeezus, what a cheap prick!
After the jump, a video of Shep Smith taking Nader to task for his idiocy and making us feel queasy about having to agree with a Pox Newser.

We don't know who's worse, the screechy McCain sociopath in clown makeup who wouldn't give Halloween candy to the children of Obama supporters, or her Obama fan neighbor who fought back with an "Obama for [Mercedes Benz symbol]" poster. ONLY ONE MORE DAY, FOLKS!!!!

Transgendered boy queen Chris Crocker, who's looking more and more like the haunting spectre of a Top Model reject, went against his promise to quit YouTube and on Friday uploaded to the video sharing site an endorsement for That One, Barack Obama.
The whole thing is more or less a grating disaster, but it is nice to see a Democratic voter fighting idiotic faux patriotism with idiotic faux patriotism: "Anyone that's not voting for Barack Obama does not care about our country and is not American."
Full video after the jump.
