Over the weekend reclusive R&B sugar D’Angelo was arrested for trying to buy a blowjob from a cop lady.
I semi-recall reading an interview with the singer a couple of years ago. Somewhat surprisingly, he said the controversy surrounding his sexed-up “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” video was a big part of why he went into hiding. A decade ago–because yes, this was a decade ago–it was still a big deal for a man in an R&B video to show off his body without being surrounded by scantily-clad ladies.

So, a full six months after James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles put on tacky sex worker drag and paraded around in front of (but not inside) ACORN offices up and down the eastern seaboard, I’ve become kind of fascinated with them. I can’t get enough of reading about O’Keefe’s subsequent arrest for entering federal property under false pretenses, or with Giles sending out fundraising letters for her own legal defense fund, and with both of them contradicting themselves and each other about their motives and methods. The pair made really dumb decisions and and now they don’t know what to do with themselves. I think the Coen brothers should seriously consider making a movie about them.
Especially now that I’ve started reading about Giles’ dad.
A youth-oriented minister, artist and founder of a conservative talk radio network, Doug Giles recently took to the internet to defend his daughter and her habit of dressing up in skimpy outfits and kinda-sorta pretending she wanted to start a Salvadorean prostitution ring. That’s fine, because she’s his daughter and dads can be forgiven for defending dumb stuff their kids do. But maybe he shouldn’t have OD’d on Religious Crazy Pills first?
