Shania Twain’s 90s look vs. Miranda Lambert’s plunging LBD at the ACM Awards


As you can see from the photo above, Miranda Lambert was one of the big winners at last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards. She took home Female Vocalist of the Year, Single Record of the Year, and Song of The Year for “Over You,” which she wrote with with her husband, Blake Shelton. (These two also won the CMA Song of The Year award for “Over You” back in November.) Other winners included Luke Bryan for Entertainer of The Year and Jason Aldean for Male Vocalist. A complete list of winners is here.


We’re focusing on the fashion in this post. Kaiser has already covered some big names and Bedhead will have more shortly. First off is Miranda’s look for the press room. She’s in a plunging little black dress showing a lot of cleavage. (I don’t have a designer ID on her dress yet.) I do like this dress and find it sexy and flattering, if a bit predictable, but I wish she would have gone with some daintier shoes. Those cage shoes are kind of dominating the look. Miranda wore two other gowns last night: one of those short black sequin dresses she loves along with a leather corset and fringed skirt combo which was killer. You can see those dresses along with her performance here.

In contrast, Shania Twain was firmly stuck in the 90s in this bizarre black strapless tiered mullet gown with a cutout back. She paired it with some awful knee high boots with a floral print. Hideous. Plus check out her too-long curly extensions. I had hair like this in the 90s and I would have thought that gown was hot back in 1991. Something nice: I like her cool cuff bracelet. The logical choice would have been to go with silver jewelry to match this outfit, but she came up with “gold” so I guess that’s somewhat creative. Poor Shania needs a stylist.

Finally, I’m adding Dog The Bounty Hunter and Beth Chapman for obvious reasons. This lady needs a boob reduction. That looks really painful. If Shania is stuck in the 90s, these people are stuck in the 80s, but even back then this would have been incredibly trashy. It’s like she’s emulating Dolly Parton but thought she needed to take it up a few notches.

Dog The Bounty Hunter shirtless and wearing a sarong coverup: hilarious?


These are photos of Dog The Bounty Hunter and his wife Beth Chapman in Hawaii. Usually these type of beach photos are totally staged, but it’s a stretch to imagine that these were set up. The last time we talked about this guy at all he was spouting some racist crap on tape and liberally using the N word, so I don’t feel bad about pointing out that he’s gained a few and looks like he has a gut full of baby (Credit: Bossip). He obviously doesn’t care. Dudes. Here’s the description from the photo agency:

The Bounty Hunters, Duane & Beth Chapman spend a relaxing day at the beach and they even brought their Dog! Duane “The Dog” Chapman and his wife, Beth were spotted taking some time off catching criminals to catch a little sun in Hawaii and they seemed to have had no problem as Duane was looking a little red as he cooled off in the Ocean wearing a sarong in Maui, Hawaii on March 18, 2012. Duane seems to have packed on a few pounds…look at that belly!

[From FameFlynet photo description]

Is this guy’s show even still on? Yes, yes it is, and new episodes start airing March 21. I guess that explains these beach photos then. They were staged. It takes a special kind of person to bleach their hair blonde and rock an Elvis mullet. The same kind of person who would wear a sarong coverup with his gut hanging over it and proudly call the paps. You know that show Finding Bigfoot on Animal Planet? There’s got to be some crossover here.

Dog The Bounty Hunter bailed Nicolas Cage out of jail, update: screaming in street

bounty hunter 210310
As we heard over the weekend, Nicolas Cage was arrested for generally being a drunken dumbass early Saturday morning in New Orleans. He was so drunk he didn’t know where he lived, and instead of listening to his wife tell him that he’d picked the wrong rental house, he argued with her and dared some cops who were called to the scene to arrest him. They charged him with domestic violence (for allegedly grabbing his wife by the arm) and disturbing the peace and took him into custody. Cage wasn’t in with the general population and was just kind of hanging out there at the station. He was eventually bailed out by Dog The Bounty Hunter, who issued a statement showing his pride at having such a famous client without revealing much about Cage’s state of mind or how blotto he was. Cage was surely sobered up at that point anyway, Dog’s wife Beth tweeted that their latest client had been in “jail” for 8 hours, as if that’s not typical in New Orleans. It’s probably not typical for their clients to get to hang out behind the counter with the police officers, either.

Nicolas Cage received the help of an unlikely ally after his arrest in New Orleans this weekend – Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Reality star Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman posted the actor’s $11,000 bond after he was charged with domestic abuse and disturbing the peace Saturday in the French Quarter.

“I am a truly dedicated fan of Mr. Cage and will not be granting any interviews about my client as I wish to respect his privacy,” Chapman, 58, tells E! News in a statement.

“I performed my duties as a bail bondsman and not in connection with our show. This is what I do for a living. There are two sides of my job: I release my clients after they have been arrested; and pick them up if they don’t show up in court. I do not believe the latter will be the case for Mr. Cage.”

[From People]

At some point before taking a cab to a house he mistakenly believed he was staying at, Cage, his wife and some buddies went into a tattoo parlor. TMZ reported that Cage was “throwing his clothes around” there and “demanding” to get a tattoo. They’ve since posted the surveillance video without audio and you can see Cage’s wife pleading with him (probably to go home). He keeps arguing with her and at some point they seem to make up because she goes upstairs with him, presumably while he gets a tattoo.

You can see Cage’s “mug shot” on TMZ and Radar. It looks like a cell phone pic and they didn’t even make him stand up against a white walll. Cage is scheduled to appear in court on May 31 for these charges. He’s in New Orleans making his latest POS movie, The Medallion. Dude still has to pay for all those castles, exotic pets, dinosaur bones and luxury cars he blew all his money on.

Update: People has more on the night in question, and it paints a pretty vivid picture of just how much of a belligerent drunken out of control ass Cage was:

The couple were fighting over which house they were renting in the French Quarter, and Peter Bennett, a local street performer who lives near the property, tells PEOPLE he came home to two cop cars on each end of his block.

“Apparently he had mistaken the house of my neighbors for the other house up the block that he is actually renting,” he says. “His wife was trying to persuade him from disturbing the elderly couple who do in fact live in that house.”

Cage is actually renting the house three doors down, according to Bennett. When cops arrived, the barman says the actor started to get into the back passenger-side door of the police car.

“But the cop got out, walked around, and Cage ran a block south toward the river, where he tried to get into a cab,” he says. “There was a woman outside with a baby in her arms shouting, ‘Please don’t hurt us.’ ”

[From People]

You know you’re out of control when your wife is telling you you’ve got the wrong house and women with babies in their arms are pleading for their lives.

Dog and his wife are shown on 3/19/10 and 11/29/09. Nicolas Cage is shown on 2/22/11 and on 7/12/10. Credit: WENN

Dog The Bounty Hunter’s wife calls Linda Hogan a slut and a drunk


40 year-old Beth Smith is the fifth wife of A&E reality star Duane Chapman, 55, aka “Dog The Bounty Hunter.” She runs Da Kine Bail Bonds in Hawaii with her husband, and appears with him on his reality show. “Dog The Bounty Hunter” has been renewed for a fifth season despite the controversy over Dog being caught on tape using the “n” word frequently in reference to his son’s new girlfriend, an African American. Duane repeatedly told his son over the phone that he didn’t want him to date a black woman because the cameras might catch him using the “n” word, as if he has no control over the hateful things that spew forth from his mullet-framed head once someone who isn’t white is in his vicinity.

Chapman’s classy wife has chimed in with her opinions of another wife of a reality star. Smith was seen in an official Dog The Bounty Hunter chatroom spouting off about Linda, calling her a “slut” and a “drinker.” It sounds like Smith has a unique login on the chatroom and that it is not easy to impersonate her. Smith was responding to Linda’s romance with a 19 year-old friend of her incarcerated son, Nick:

“I know she [Linda] told Terry she was gonna fix his ass,” Beth wrote in the “Dog” chat room, “but it looks to me like he looks like an angel and she looks like a slut.”

Beth also explained that her husband Duane “Dog” Chapman, and the Hulk are close pals who talk on the phone three times a week – and the two couples were once close.

“I used to really like Linda, but then we started to get to know her and she is a real drink,” Beth… wrote on the web site.

Access to the site, www.dogthebountyhunter.com is free, but fans can pay to enter a chat room visited by Chapman family members.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 25, 2008]

If Dog is friends with Hulk Hogan, you can see why his wife would take Hulk’s side since he’s going through a divorce with Linda.

I haven’t seen more than a few clips of this show and can’t really judge if Beth is as trashy as she looks. She definitely looks like a low-rent version of Linda, though, and somehow it doesn’t surprise me that she knows her.

Dog The Bounty Hunter in tearful confession on Fox (update)

doginterview1.jpg
Extreme mullet-wearing Dog The Bounty Hunter Chapman went on Hannity and Colmes on the Fox Channel last night to beg in his idiotic drug-addled logic for forgiveness for his racist tirade over the phone. It sounds like he saysh e was using the “n” word as “a brother to brother” despite the fact that he was using it to tell his son not to date a black woman.

This tearful confession made me lol several times, particularly when Chapman said that he thought he was able to “refer to them truly as a brother from a different mother”

I thought that I was cool enough in the black world to be able to use that word, as a brother to a brother. I’m not… I never realized that that’s like stabbing a black person in the heart. I would never do that to any kind of person. I’ve always taken pride to be the white guy that can talk to the black people, that can refer to them truly as a brother from a different mother (voice breaks)…

and I used to say ‘I’m Black Too,” my whole life I’ve been called a half breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that, I take that stand so when I stood there and said, ‘I kind of know what you feel like, cause I’ve been there too, that I felt like that I could embrace and as brothers, even as black women say the word…”

This is one of the hardest lessons ever I’ve learned in my life, even facing death. If I could kill myself and people would forgive me, I would do that. There’s no excuse. I’m guilty and I will take my punishment, but the end of what I said is that I will do everything that is in my power to make sure people have forgiven me.

Hannity: How old is this conversation?

This conversation was done in March, so eight months old.

Hannity: And how much did they pay your son for this

Well, I think they gave him $15,000 that the alleged rumor.

[Transcribed from the highlight video available on TMZ of Chapman's appearance on Hannity and Combs last night on Fox]

While it’s not funny that the guy says he would kill himself for forgiveness, you can tell by the way he’s wording his statements that he’s not going to shed his coat of slimy racism unless he undergoes serious therapy. He said “I would never do that to any kind of person” and he calls black people “them.” He also seems to gloss over the pain he caused others and to focus on how he’s feeling and how he wants forgiveness.

Here’s the video, thanks to TMZ:

And in case there was even a glimmer of hope for Dog’s career as a reality show star, The Enquirer has a story with quotes from many of his friends, family and past wives attesting to what a racist bastard he is. Plus there could be an upcoming story in the November 20th issue of the Enquirer stating that Dog is a current crack addict who is spending 2k a month on drugs. A commentor on TMZ posted the story, so I can’t yet verify it, but they supposedly interviewed his former dealer, who passed a lie detector test. I will have to verify if the story exists and update this post once more is known. The comment also contains a link to a site declaring Andrew Luster, the guy Chapman was arrested for capturing in Mexico, innocent, so it’s up to question, although the wording does sound exactly like The Enquirer.

Before this scandal came to light we posted a story from the Enquirer about Dog’s stepdaughter claiming that she used to get cocaine and hookers for him and that he pimped her out to pay a drug debt in the 90s. It could be true that someone is claiming he’s still doing crack, and it certainly seems plausible.

Thanks to reader Shawn for the tip.

Update: The story about Dog the Bounty Hunter currently being addicted to crack did not appear in the National Enquirer, and was a fabrication.

Dog Bounty Hunter tells son not to date black woman because he will use N word


Dog the Bounty Hunter, the star of the A&E reality series of the same name that follows him capturing criminals who have jumped bail, was taped using the N word repeatedly while going off on his son for dating an African American woman.

Apparently Dog’s son taped a conversation with his dad and turned it in to the National Enquirer. When I first heard this story, I thought it was a simple case of the guy being racist, using the N word and telling his son not to date someone based on the color of her skin. It’s more complicated and stupid than that. The audio of the conversation is on TMZ, and Dog tries to tell his son not to date a black woman, not because he’s racist or anything, but because he’s afraid that someone is going to catch him using the N word around his son’s new girlfriend.

It sounds to me like the asshole gave his son the excellent idea of talking to the National Enquirer, my favorite trashy gossip rag, by telling him specifically that he feared that he would get turned into the Enquirer if someone heard him use the N word.

Here is the transcript of the audio, which is available on TMZ, in case you can’t listen at work or don’t want to subject yourself to this shit:

I’m not taking a chance on some motherf-bleep- I don’t care if she’s a Mexican, a whore, whatever, it’s not cause she’s black it’s because we use the word nigger sometimes here. I’m not going to take a chance ever in life losing everything I worked for for 30 years cause some f-bleep- nigger heard us say nigger and turned us in to the Enquirer magazine. Our career is over. If Lise was dating a nigger we would all say f-bleep- you and you know that. If Lisa brought a black guy home yeah (unintelligible) and it’s not that they’re black it’s none of that, it’s that we use the word nigger we don’t mean you f-bleep-ing scum nigger without a soul, we don’t mean that shit, but America would think we mean that.

[Transcribed from the audio available on TMZ]

So, in Dog’s twisted logic, he could lose his entire career because he can’t stop using the most foul racist term and that it would be his son’s fault for having a black girlfriend. Does the word just spew out of his mouth without his knowledge when a black person gets in his vicinity? The guy must have tourettes.

I just love that Dog’s son turned the tape over to the Enquirer after his dad said he feared losing his career if that happened.

It looks like all of Dog’s concerns could be coming to fruition. A&E has announced that it has suspended production on his reality series until they thoroughly investigate the matter. You know they’re just talking to their lawyers and trying to figure out how to tie up all the lose ends before dropping the guy.

Meanwhile Dog has asked esteemed Reverend Al Sharpton to help him, and has retained the African American pastor that performed his last marriage to speak on his behalf. He has also released a statement saying how sorry he is. The pastor makes sure we know that Dog has gone to black churches “to help inner-city kids” before all this happened. I wonder if he used the N word in front of the little kids, because he pretty much told his son that it just comes out without his knowledge when black people are around. Was he uttering it under his breath repeatedly while he was taking his vows?

Dog Bounty Hunter got 15 yo stepdaughter to bring him crack & hookers

dogbountyhunter.jpg
Dog The Bounty Hunter is a reality show that has aired on the A&E Network since 2004 about a bail bondsman in Hawaii named Duane “Dog” Chapman. Chapman is shown as a tough but compassionate character who gives advice to the convicts he captures who jumped bail.

A father to 12 children, Chapman tragically lost his daughter Katy, 23, in a car accident last spring on the night before he was set to marry his longtime girlfriend and co-star, Beth Smith. They went ahead with the wedding.

Chapman and his son and business partner were arrested by US Marshals in September of last year on charges of bounty hunting in Mexico, which is illegal there. He caught wanted rapist and heir to the Max Factor fortune, Andrew Luster, in Mexico back in June of 2003, and the Mexican government convinced the US to extradite him. He met bail in Mexico and charges are said to be dropped at this time.

Now one of his stepdaughters from his fourth marriage is saying he used her back in the 90s to get him hookers and crack and that he’s a creep who slept with one of her young friends. Nikki Gillespie claims that at the tender age of 15 she was living on the streets and that she earned money by getting drugs and women for Chapman:

“Dog is no American Hero,” Nikki, 27, told The Enquirer, “He’s an American nightmare!”

Nikki became part of Dog’s life when he married her mother Tawny Marie, his fourth wife, in 1992. The family soon relocated to Hawaii where Dog opened a bail bond and bounty hunting business.

Dog and Tawny split in 1994 – and Nikki ended up living on the streets of Honolulu.

“I’d call Dog for help, but his help came at a high price. He would tell me: ‘Go get me some crack and get me a girl. Get me a hooker,” Nikki claims.

“He’d give me $2,000 to $3,000 to go down to Chinatown and pick up a hooker and crack. I’d pocket half the money and spend the other half (on drugs and a prostitute for him.) Doug was so out of it that he never knew the different.”

Nikki – who passes a polygraph test on her claims – says she bought crack and women for Dog about 10 times when she was 15. She says the two smoked crack together and the mullet-haired bounty hunter often came on to her.

“One time after I’d bought Dog crack cocaine and a whore, I fell asleep,” she recalled. “When I woke up he was standing over me, naked. He said ‘If you weren’t Tawny’s daughter, I’d tear you up!’ I screamed and ran out of the house.”

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, October 22, 2007]

Dog’s stepdaughter also says that once her young friend came over to look for her and he seduced her, paying her for sex afterwards:

“My friend came to our house, looking for me, but I wasn’t home,” Nikki sai. “She told me: ‘Your dad was all over me,’ and they had sex. Afterward, he paid her $200.”

And once Dog pimped out Nikki to pay a debt to a crack dealer. He had a “friend” drive her to the airport and instead of going there, the guy took her to a motel and told her she had to pay off her dad’s drug debt with sex.

Dog’s stepdaughter says that watching the show makes her sick and that it’s all bullshit that he “prays [and] tells criminals to get away from drugs and to straighten up.” She says “it’s all lies.”

If all this is true, even if it happened 10 years ago, the guy is indeed a scumbag. Anyone who would pimp out a family member like that is despicable.

Dog spent 18 months in prison before starting his bail bond business on accessory for murder charges. He says he is “fighting for justice and the American way.”

Do any of you guys watch this show and can you see this guy being a creep like this? I have not seen it as I live overseas.

Many details from Wikipedia. Header image is of Dog and Beth on their wedding day.
