Girls Gone Wild Founder Joe Francis’ Wife Of 2 Months Dumps Him

Susannah BreslinDecember 29, 2010 //

Prepared to be stunned, ladies? Girls Gone Wild founder and general sleazebag Joe Francis has been left by his wife of less than two months. I know! I didn’t see it coming either. Frankly, what I did find shocking was that any woman would marry him in the first place, but I guess there’s a green zebra for everyone. So, who would marry this jerk in the first place? That’d be Christina McLarty, an entertainment reporter for L.A.’s KCAL9. She went to NYU, is the niece of Bill Clinton’s former chief-of-staff Mark McLarty, and she’s from Arkansas. I guess we all make mistakes. Apparently, she was Francis’ girlfriend of four years. The two were married last month in a lavish wedding held at the groom’s Mexico estate. “I’m not sure if she is still driving the S500 Mercedes he let her use or if she still has her $500K engagement ring, but she definitely moved out of his Bel Air home,” a source told Radar. Well, I guess that explains some of it. Keep reading »

Should Women Suing “Girls Gone Wild” Be Allowed To Stay Anonymous?

Jessica WakemanOctober 28, 2010 //

Four women, who were between the ages of 13 and 17 when they were filmed flashing their breasts by “Girls Gone Wild” goons, have asked to pursue their lawsuit without being named. The women, who are now in their 20s, said when they appeared in the “Girls Gone Wild” videos as teens in Panama City, Florida, they were ridiculed and forced to leave their schools. Their lawyers battled in court recently, arguing that as the women sue Joe Francis for exploitation, there is no need for their identities to be revealed. “Their names” — in addition to their breasts — “are going to be everywhere,” attorney Rachael Pontikes argued. Alas, an unsympathetic FL judge rejected their request and now the women have filed an appeal.

But this debate isn’t just about boobs, exploitation and poor judgment. It’s also about journalism! Keep reading »

Sum Poosie: A Pink Energy Drink That Tastes Like … Cherry 7Up!

Jessica WakemanOctober 8, 2010 //

Wait, what did you think I was going to write?

Sum Poosie is a “vagina-themed” energy drink that tastes like cherry and was created by a guy who turned down a job offer from Red Bull in 1996. “Basically, it’s an energy drink, but it’s like the ‘Girls Gone Wild’ of energy drinks,” the drink’s distributor Levar Turner, who is under the impression that is a selling point, told blogger Amanda Hess at TBD.com. “There are a million and one energy drinks. We needed to stand out. What better way than with Sum Poosie?”

So. How does Sum Poosie stand out? Bottles with boobies, boobies, boobies. Keep reading »

11 Wedding Gift Ideas For Joe Francis Of “Girls Gone Wild”

Jessica WakemanJuly 2, 2010 //

“Girls Gone Wild”‘s Joe Francis is getting … married? When we heard the news this morning, we didn’t know if we were still drunk from last night, or hell had frozen over, or what. But yes: Christina McLarty, an entertainment reporter for CBS, is going to marry that bastard. Actually, the couple will have a domestic partnership, not a marriage. Why? Because Joe Francis has so many scruples, you see! “We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don’t believe it’s appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States,” Francis told gossip column Page Six. Uh, OK.

The flesh vendor proposed to McLarty while vacationing in St. Tropez and they will wed with 200 guests in September at Casa Aramara, his beachfront estate in Punta Mita, Mexico. Weirdness of weirdness, his neighbor Quincy Jones will be the best man. So, a September wedding! Very nice. That gives up plenty of time to think up some appropriate wedding gifts for a sweetie like Joe Francis … Keep reading »
