Publicity stunts are weak

NEW YORK (CBS) Harry Hamlin and his wife Lisa Rinna appeared on the "Today" show yesterday, only to be told that their boutique in Sherman Oaks, Calif., had been robbed.

According to published reports, the 58-year-old star of "L.A Law" allegedly had $10,000 worth of designer clothing stolen, and Hamlin announced the news live on television.

The New York Post reported that during the couple's interview to promote their new books and reality show, Hamlin suddenly answered a call on his cell phone and said, "Our clothing store is being robbed as we speak," before adding, "ADT is useless...our alarm company was supposed to take care of this, and they did nothing."

Hamlin and Rinna's new reality show, "Harry Loves Lisa," debuts on TV Land tonight.

Three things learned from this story:

1) Their interview alone isn't going to be enough to gain viewers for their lame tv show.

2) Their store isn't getting enough customers so it consequently gets robbed at the same time they are doing an interview.

3) And Lisa Rinna's lips don't look any better than what they were.

But you already knew that of course.

A Heartless Woman

Mindy Greany WATERLOO,IA --- A Grundy Center woman has been sentenced to prison for stealing from people with disabilities. As a credit counseling company employee, Mindy Sue Greany, 31, oversaw the funds of the blind and mentally challenged --- people who needed help keeping track of their money. Instead, she siphoned more than $100,000 from their accounts at Family Management Credit Counselors in Waterloo. On Friday, District Court Judge Margaret Lingreen sentenced Greany to spend up to 10 years in prison for her pleas to six counts of first-degree theft, eight counts of second-degree theft and one count of third-degree theft. One of the credit counseling clients had a simple question for Greany when he took the witness stand during sentencing. "He said 'Why did you steal from me?'" said Roger Goldsberry, director of Family Management Credit Counselors. Greany was an administrative assistant at the organization and took money between July 2003 and July 27, 2...

Millet Flour

"Michelle Williams, she was on Dawson’s Creek and a few movies since then. Anyway, she’s moved up to my area ( Sullivan County NY ), and makes appearances around here sometimes. Anyway, she came into a healthfood store I work at, and we’re a small town, small inventory type of store; and we didn’t have enough of what she was looking for (millet flour) so she ordered it. Now, ordinarily, when customers order something specific, we take a down payment. When I told her this, she refused, and said she’d rather pay in full later. I thought, shes loaded, she’s good for it. Well we ordered all her millet flour and she never came! We paid just about $300 upfront from our supplier company, and Nik, I don’t know if Shayne is into healthfood, but she may know what millet flour is, and it’s very hard to sell!! Just thought I’d blast this mediocre actress (at best) for the $300 that cut a week and a half’s pay from my check." [via] She needs to be antiqued with that Millet Flour.

Dina Lohan drunk as f*ck on Dr.Phil

"I don’t care what it looks like. I’m fine and I don’t care what anyone says. All people saw was two minutes edited of an hour long interview. Of course they cut it to make it interesting. That’s their job . I don’t blame them for doing that. Some of the comments were taken out of context but I’m fine. I’m fine.” This episode airs on the 17th. Well good thing she cleared that up because I thought she was drunk in that interview. What was I thinking?
