Smackdown: Clinton/Bush Fight Called Off

Clinton and Dubya were finally gonna have it out with a drag-out, bare-knuckles fight, according to promoters and the New York Post. Like the Foreman/Ali fight but with old, white presidents, except it was mostly made up. It was all going down at American Jewish University of Los Angeles, with a follow-up match at New...

Jon Gosselin Taking Rabbi Shmuley’s Advice

"I feel guilty," Jon Gosselin kvetched as Rabbi Shmuley Boteach schooled the reality TV, Ed Hardy lovin’, deadbeat dad about his bad behavior toward his octo-shrew, Kate Gosselin. The two spotlight-fuckers appeared as the keynote speakers at a West Side Synagogue in New York. Shmuley showcased the tried and true powers of Jewish guilt as...

To Cut or Not to Cut…

Sure, maybe we’re biased, but we’ve long extoled the virtues of the mushroom-capped, kosher sausage. Even lesbians can agree here, or at least Sandra Bernhard told us so. New York magazine most-clicked article asks the question on whether to cut or not to cut. While the writer (and Jewish baby mama), Hanna Rosin, presents both...

The Babs Rises Again

Barbra Streisand is the original power Jewess and she proves it again as she grabs her ninth No. 1 album on the Billboard charts with Love Is the Answer. Bab’s beat out rivals — Paramore’s Brand New Eyes and Mariah Carey’s Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel — by selling her new album at Starbucks and...

Neo-Nazis Keep on Trucking

Two German losers are being charged for hanging a pig’s head from the Star of David on the entrance gate at one Jewish cemetary and pouring pig’s blood over a memorial plaque at another in eastern German city of Erfurt. Those Neo-Nazis keep on trucking. Sadly, this sucks for two reasons. One, those poor German...

Zany Things Straight People Do

Just when you think that heteros have already done everything they canto make a mockery out of married life, they go one step further. And no shocker, South Florida takes us there, namely Fort Lauderdale’s Pro Dive International, which ironically,has no other global locations. They’re training clergy, one female rabbi so far, toperform underwater marriage...

Gay Jews in Poland, Who Knew?

Warsaw’s mostly ambivalent Jewish community unintentionally joined the progressive map when Rabbi Aaron Katz, a gay man with a Hollywood producer partner, became their new spiritual advisor. Since it’s hard to say who Poles hate more, gays or Jews, we figure he’ll have to dodge eggs on his walk home from Temple. (And yes, take...

The Burqini, So Unsexy It Hurts

Skimpy bikinis are so 2000 and late. The newest look according to USA Today are swimsuits for observant women. Muslims, Jews and Chrisitans can all enjoy the fashionable, water-side turbans and swim dresses in both knee-length and elbow-hugging beach wear. (And some accept donations.) No need to worry anymore about a titty popping out or...

_Saved By the Bell_ Reunion Possibly In The Works

Jimmy Fallon is finally using his new late-night power for the greater good. The mostly confused newbie is pushing for a SBTB reunion show. Only Screech and Kelly have yet to sign on. While my money is on a lame ’90s redo, I say they should get Dustin Diamond and Elizabeth Berkley to put their...

Queen Esther Comes Home, Jesus May Follow

Since falling off a horse, losing adoption struggles, divorcing her man and generally sucking, Madonna (a.k.a the Kabbalarific Esther) has been on the lookout for love and money. She’ll wrap up her never-ending, candy-themed tour on September 1 in Tel Aviv. And while some sex-hating rightwingers over there are probably girding themselves for the great...

The Other Rebecca Rubin

Little girls and confused little boys everywhere can’t wait to get their hands on Rebecca Rubin, the new Jewish addition to the American Girl family. Apparently, neither can the FBI. That’s right, despite painstaking efforts by the American Girl company to tailor every detail of Rubin’s character to the Anti-Defamation League’s liking, they still managed...

Caravan of Jewish Gays Get Hitched in Iowa City

The couples above may have had to go all the way to a dreary Iowa City church for the ceremony, but at least they got their weepy-weddings–chuppah and all. Yes they’re from Missouri, but as far as I’m concerned, the members of the Central Reform Congregation in St. Louis are at the center of the...
