A Kentucky boy knows a cow when a sees one
A tipsy George Clooney apparently threw a little smack talk toward some women in a Hollywood restaurant and upset former cover boy Fabio. Clooney, a Kentucky-born Hollywood superstar, was reportedly challenged by Fabio after the Ocean's 11 star called a woman a "fat cow."
Fabio claims he invited Clooney to join his fundraising dinner at a nearby table, but that Clooney rebuffed his offer. Fabio then allegedly instructed Clooney to "stop being a diva."
Clooney and his girlfriend left the restaurant shortly thereafter.
Reveling in the rejuvenated media interest in him, Fabio told OK! Magazine "You have to be a low-class scumbag to call a woman a name." Fabio continued, "He was lucky he ran out of the restaurant. He's not even half a man."
Fabio's last blast of media fame came in 1999 when he was riding a roller coaster and was hit in the face by a flying bird.

Boy, oh boy
Ebony Magazine's latest issue features Michael Jackson. The gloved one is apparently ready to emerge from hiding under the supposition that the world has forgotten his alleged predatory acts with young boys for the past two decades.
Yeah, that will happen as soon as the world thinks that O.J. is a revered athlete and a faithful husband.

Let's see a show of hands, if you've still got them
The former owner of Kentucky Kingdom, Ed Hart, has been in talks with Six Flags chairman Mark Snyder to reaquire the amusement park. Neither party is speaking publicly, but Hart is said to have struck a verbal agreement with Snyder, but subsequent interpretation of the verbal agreement has led to a stall in the process of closing the deal.
Snyder has reportedly been dismayed with meager growth at the Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom property, particularly since a June 2007 incident where a ride cable severed the feet of a 13-year-old Louisville girl. A tsunami of negative publicity followed, and the park's attendance fell sharply.
Hart built the park in the 1980s and sold it to Premiere Parks after operating it for seven years.
Premiere also weathered a difficult media outpouring after five riders claimed to be injured when two cars of the Starchaser indoor roller coaster collided during the summer of 1994.
