SPOTTED: C AND V KISSING IN TEXAS AIRPORT • "Apparently Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are mixing business with pleasure. W Magazine is reporting that the Gossip Girl co-stars were spotted kissing 'definitely on the lips' in a Dallas airport on Sunday. 'Not a French kiss, but a smooch definitely,' the magazine reports. 'They were being very flirty when people were not paying attention.'"
Thanks to reader anonymous, who reminded me about this clip I was meaning to post all day. Like the Texan that I am, I spent my Thanksgiving afternoon watching the Cowboys game and witnessing my little sister get entirely too excited about the promise of the Jonas Brothers' halftime performance. Wow, were they horrible. Sure, 'NSync wasn't exactly the epitome of musical genius, but these guys made dogs across America howl in pain. Perhaps the boys should stick to lip-syncing until they've made it all the way through puberty.
Apparently this anti-Obama Facebook phenomenon is really getting out of control and, luckily, some ignorant crazies are being forced to pay the consequences. Meet Buck Burnette, a football player for the University of Texas and blatant racist. Shortly after the election, his status read: "all the hunters gather up, we have a #$%&er in the whitehouse." Classy guy, that Buck.
As you can imagine, coach Mack Brown kicked him off the team immediately. Buck then issued an apology that was obviously not written by him. CONTINUED »
The most entertaining portion of last night's election coverage wasn't on CNN or FOX News — it was on Facebook, where all of the crazies congregated to update their statuses in rapid succession. As you may know, I spent the first 22 years of my life in Texas, so 90 percent of my friends on the networking site are Republicans. I did not know, however, that most of them are also clinically insane.
After the jump, my top 10 favorite (and by favorite I mean infuriating) statuses from the aftermath of Barack Obama's victory — and yes, the picture at left is someone's actual Facebook photo.
Oh, and the names have been hidden to protect the ignorant.
Update: E-mail me any appalling statuses you find on your friends' Facebook pages! E-mail to: whitney@mollygood.com.
AFTER 12 YEARS, 'KING OF THE HILL' CANCELED "Thirteen has proven not-so-lucky for Fox's veteran animated comedy 'King of the Hill.' After several previous brushes with cancellation, the network has opted not to renew the series beyond its current 13th season. In April, Fox picked up 13 more episodes from the 20th Century Fox TV-produced show, which are wrapping production."
I woke up this morning to find a text from a friend reading, "Texas A&M is making quite a name for itself this election season." I groaned and pulled the covers over my head in an attempt to avoid whatever my alma mater had done to shame itself this time, but eventually headed over to CNN.com to find out the news: The Young Conservatives of Texas on campus set up an Anti-Obama Carnival, encouraging students to throw eggs at a picture of Barack Obama (video after the jump). Well, at least this stunt wasn't as bad as the College Station woman (and possible Aggie) who carved the backwards "B" in her cheek, but it's not helping the stereotype that the town is a "Texas hate community that usually loathes any African American who can't score a touchdown."
So this is the final straw, and I'm taking it upon myself to defend a school and town I love in an attempt to explain the unexplainable: How, despite all logic, these conservative towns aren't all that bad. CONTINUED »
For our readers fortunate enough to not be in the NYC area today, I'll give you a short summary of what the weather is currently like outside: Hell. It's freezing, windy and rainy (and my umbrella may or may not have imploded during my walk to Jossip HQ). Granted, I'm from Texas so anything below 60 degrees weirds me out, but the overwhelming majority opinion is that today is one of those days where you stay inside as much as possible.
Enter the PETA crazies, who heard that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would be at a Manhattan Barnes & Noble to sign copies of their latest book. No amount of bad weather was going to keep these people from lining up outside in those dumb Trollsen masks and frightening passersby.
One insane person's personal account of the protest, after the jump. CONTINUED »
Forget the "just a matter of time" Obama endorsements from liberal mainstays the New York Times and the Washington Post. Those rags were in the tank since '04. For a real barometer for America's political attitudes, check out the Bryan-College Station Eagle's endorsement of the Democratic ticket. Things are finally so bad that even Texas hate communities that usually loathe any African American who can't score a touchdown are betting on black!
Put this on your fourth cheeseburger, Limbaugh.
As journalists charge Gov. Rick Perry and the federal government with restricting access to the areas damaged the most by Hurricane Ike, reports have come in that Galveston might not be ready for habitation for months and shelters in Houston are having trouble feeding everyone in a timely fashion (one shelter fielded 10,000 requests for food and water just yesterday). But as hectic and tragic as things are in the Texas Coast, there is a severe humanitarian crisis in Haiti and Cuba, both of which Ike tore through before it made its way to the U.S.
As a very dangerous Hurricane Ike approaches Texas, forecasters are warning that people in the Galveston area are facing "certain death," and residents much further inland have been evacuated. The government estimates that the 3.5 million people live in the storm's impact zone.
The love story of Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson inexplicably continues, despite the fact that they are rapidly becoming the most annoying couple of all time. According to sources, Tony has been pestering his Dallas Cowboys teammates by playing Jess's new country CD and even handing out autographed albums to anyone who will be suckered into it. We have a feeling no football player gets pumped up by listening to "Come On Over" on repeat.
More annoying than that, however, is Jessica's nickname for Tony: FBD, which stands for Future Baby's Daddy. But not to worry — she only calls him that behind his back because "she's playing it cool." Sounds like it.

In a move that surprises absolutely no one, Jessica Simpson has decided to pimp out some random brand of beer called Stampede. Of course that's what it's called. If you're going to return to your Texas roots, you might as well go all the way. (Although we're surprised she didn't go with Lone Star instead.)
And if that cheesy picture isn't enough to make you want to run out and buy a 12-pack, here's what Jess has to say: "I work out and take care of myself. But I also like a cold beer once in a while. That's why I made the smart choice with a smart beer." Fail.
Lovable Crip Snoop Doggy Dogg's tour bus was pulled over in famously rapper-friendly Texas yesterday, and you won't believe what police found: weed! During the course of what was supposed to be a citation for expired tags, two of Mr Doggy Dogg's entourage, Ethan Calhoun, 27, and Kevin Barkey, 26, were arrested after they admitted to having one ounce each of marijuana, which police had smelled.
Snoop, who is absolutely hilarious for surrounding himself with people named "Barkey," was not charged.
Jessica Simpson is trying way too hard to fit in with the country music scene, as evidenced by her September cover of Elle magazine. During the interview she admits to "dating different types of guys and conforming to their worlds," and while we applaud her for recognizing the problem, she has yet to fix it. Rumor has it she's expressed the desire to just become a big-haired Texas football wife and devote her life to prancing around in cowboy boots and a Tony Romo jersey. Uh, Jess? The oversized belt buckle and new country album aren't going to make the Dallas Cowboy wives like you. Sorry.
Here's your first glimpse at the cover of Jessica Simpson's new country album — or, as we like to call it, her attempt to fit in with her Dallas Cowboy boyfriend. First the LA sex kitten act for Nick Lachey, then the dark emo hair for John Mayer, and now this.
The boots add a nice touch, Jess, but that still doesn't mean Texas is going to welcome you with open arms.
• Jessica Simpson's father threatens Dallas Cowboys fans around the country: "She's coming to the games this year, so you better get ready. She's a fan from the beginning to the end." Or until she gets dumped. [PS]
• Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are considering asking Bono to be the godfather to the holy twins, which pretty much seals those kids' fate in rehab. [INO]
• Denise Richards is still campaigning to win the title of Most Vile Person Ever. [DListed]
• Lindsay Lohan was hit by a motorcycle over the weekend in NYC. There were no injuries, but father Michael still felt the urge to blab about it to every media outlet who would listen. [Yeeeah]
• Britney Spears is on vacation — but has yet to learn how to escape the paparazzi. [HT]
• Desperation: Madonna and Guy Ritchie will renew their wedding vows in a pathetic attempt to shoot down those pesky divorce rumors. [ICYDK]
This past weekend's Texas Republican state convention was a breeding ground for people who love their Bibles, guns and George W. Bush. I'm generalizing, but, coming from a small Texas town, I can assure you the stereotype holds true more often than not. These buttons, which were sold at the convention, prove my point (and remind me why I left the state to begin with).
Growing up in Abilene, Texas, my friends and I sometimes had to get creative when it came to entertainment. Normally, said entertainment consisted of them luring me into a car by convincing me we were going to go hang out at Sonic, but instead driving me by the House of Yahweh, a local cult. I would scream in the backseat, duck down, cry, etc., and they would laugh and laugh. But the cult — named one of the deadliest in America — terrified me. Having been in New York for almost a year, I assumed I was safe from all of that, but one of my friends informed me last night that the leader has predicted the end of the world — and it's supposed to be happening this week.
