For those who are still raging over the Casey Anthony “not guilty” verdict that was delivered last month by a Floridian jury, a slight bit of catharsis (albeit no further justice) can be had in the news that Anthony has been voted to the top of a “Top 10 Most Hated People” poll. Of course this news will do nothing to settle the unrest aimed at the Anthony jurors, who fortunately have been spared the same dubious honor. C’mon, they were really only doing their jobs. Anyway and because I don’t want to freshly stir that pot, let’s get on with the rest of the list, shall we?

What do Casey Anthony, Spencer Pratt and Jon Gosselin have in common? A new poll suggests they’re the most hated people in America!

These public figures top findings by Nielsen subsidiary E-Poll Market Research, the New York Post reports. Joining them are famous names such as O.J. Simpson, Paris Hilton and ‘Octomom’ Nadya Suleman, all making way on the following top 10 list:

1. Casey Anthony
2. Spencer Pratt
3. Octomom
4. O.J. Simpson
5. Jon Gosselin
6. Levi Johnston
7. Jesse James
8. Paris Hilton
9. Heidi Fleiss
10. Howard Stern

“A lot of the folks on this list are people who are constantly in the news and have nonredeeming qualities,” Mary Ann Farrell, Senior Vice President of Research at E-Poll, says.

Okay, I completely understand why Anthony and Simpson are on this list because they’re basically cut out of the same legally-scandalous grain. Also truly reprehensible are Spencer Pratt (and his extremely expensive crystals) and Nadya “Octomom” Suleman because she’s a drain on the taxpayers and acts like such an entitled bitch concerning her own womb. People don’t like Levi Johnston because he’s a reprehensible, deadbeat famewhore and Jesse James because he cheated on and humiliated Sandra Bullock. Naturally, Paris Hilton’s entrance on this list is rather self-explanatory. As to Howard Stern, he loves to be hated, so he’ll probably feel like he accomplished something today. However, do people still care at all about Jon Gosselin or Heidi Fleiss? Their inclusion makes me wonder whether or not the company presented people with a list and asked them to pick which ones they hated the most instead of asking people to name their own suggestions. Pollsters can be so shady like that.

We haven’t heard much about former madam Heidi Fleiss recently. She got a DUI for driving under the influence of Vicodin she didn’t have a prescription for in 2008. She also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2010 and Celebrity Rehab in 2009. Before that she was trying to open a legal brothel featuring male prostitutes in Nevada but that fell through. She currently lives in Pahrump, Nevada and owns a coin operated laundromat called Dirty Laundry. She also has 20 exotic macaw parrots, which she lets fly around her house. (Part of her house burned in Thanksgiving, but none of the birds were harmed.)

Anyway, Animal Planet announced a Heidi Fleiss one hour reality special, in which they’ll focus on her life with the birds and how she manages to make ends meet “With her home covered in bird poop and monthly bills for the birds soaring into the thousands.” You can’t make this sh*t up. I guess Heidi is still friends with benefits with Denis Hof too, the owner of the infamous Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada which was featured in the HBO series Cathouse.

On Sunday, July 31, at 10 PM (ET/PT), Animal Planet’s HEIDI FLEISS: PROSTITUTES TO PARROTS, provides a never-before-seen look into Heidi’s day-to-day life, where drugs and escorts have been replaced by birds and business, and every day is a fight to stay clean and sober.

The one-hour special follows Fleiss as she struggles to care for the news loves in her life — more than 20 exotic macaw parrots. With her home covered in bird poop and monthly bills for the birds soaring into the thousands, the former madam must balance her need to tend to the birds at home with the necessity of leaving them to earn a living outside of it. With multiple businesses and jobs to focus on, Fleiss spends her days shuttling from the laundromat she owns, to the doggie day care she is set to open. But, as the anxiety at being away from her birds increases, and the pressure to hire a staff to care for them rises, will the stress of life drive her back to drugs? Or, will her love for her birds and the help of noted brothel owner and good friend Dennis Hof, be enough to maintain her sobriety?

“I never, ever thought that I would end up here, but everything happens for a reason,” says Fleiss. “[Today] some people call me a crazy lady who plays with birds. It’s been a crazy way to reinvent myself, but I love these birds and I will be successful.”

I’ve been watching Cathouse on HBO Go and Heidi makes a guest appearance in one episode where she gives pep talks to the ‘hos and business advice to her former boyfriend, owner Denis Hof. (I’m not sure when it was filmed, but it wasn’t later than 2008. Fleiss and Hof were supposedly engaged in ’09, but I doubt that went anywhere.) The show is pretty fascinating, but that’s because you get to see a revolving door of hookers and johns and they do show plenty of sex. I don’t see how Heidi Fleiss hoarding birds is at all interesting, but it’s Animal Planet. I’m sure her birds have unique personalities and a whole social system that can be set to music and edited to look more dramatic than it is. It should be enough to fill an hour. You know who needs to get an Animal Planet special – Paris Hilton. Yes she’s overexposed but she’s also one of the worst animal hoarders there is. At least with cameras around she’d be forced to feed and water them.

I’m pretty sure Heidi Fleiss has never gotten one word of press that was about her doing something that wasn’t one hundred percent skanky. Just looking at her face makes my skin crawl. Those flat, dead, saggy eyes and those dead jelly lips just make her look like one of those giant fish you see on ice in the seafood section of your grocery store. If I could draw, I would draw a picture of one of those fish, and then draw the same thing with Heidi Fleiss’ face on its head, and I swear to God they would look the exact same. Yesterday the only woman in the entire world who can make Paris Hilton look classy was arrested in Pahrump Nevada and given a DUI. She was under the influence of Vicodin, which is a controlled substance. And she didn’t have a prescription for it. She was charged with possession of a controlled substance and driving under the influence.

Fleiss was pulled over at about 9:30 a.m. by sheriff’s deputies responding to a report of a possible drunken driver, the Nye County sheriff’s office said. Fleiss, 42, and a passenger in the car, John Owen, were found to be under the influence of a controlled substance, the sheriff’s office said. Fleiss had prescription medication but could not produce a valid prescription, the sheriff’s office said.

Fleiss was arrested on four counts, including possession of dangerous drugs without a prescription and driving under the influence. Owen, 53, was arrested on charges of being under the influence of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. She posted bail of $1,376, while Owen posted bail of $1,264. Both were released.

Fleiss told Reuters that she has a prescription for the Vicodin but didn’t have it on her. While I’m not inclined to believe Heidi Fleiss as a general rule, it’s not out of the ordinary for someone to put pills in their purse or a pill box – I do all the time. Thus you wouldn’t have the prescription on you. Of course she still drove while under the influence of the Vicodin, and presenting a valid prescription won’t make that go away.

So what’s a sexy gal with everything going for her like Heidi Fleiss doing in a town with such an unsexy name like Pahrump? Wait, that is a sexy name, because it kind of sounds like hump. Anyway, Heidi owns a coin-operated laundry called Dirty Laundry. Talk about high class. She also noted to the Las Vegas Review Journal that the ONLY regret she had about last night is how terrible she looks in her mug shot. Fleiss explained that she hadn’t showered… and her clothes were covered with bathroom grout… and bird droppings. I did not make up a word of that, that really was her explanation. She failed to explain why her clothes were covered in bird droppings and tile grout at 9:30 on a Thursday evening. Heidi Fleiss also did not present any explanation for why her face looks the way it does. Or apologize for it. And that’s the greatest tragedy of all.

Here are the mugshots for Heidi Fleiss and passenger John Owen.

Ear-biting former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson is going to work in Heidi Fleiss’ male brothel in Nevada. Prostitution is legal in Nevada outside of the city of Las Vegas, and is monitored by state agencies. Fleiss says Tyson will be her “big stalllion.” *shudder*

Former boxing champion Mike Tyson is to become a male escort after agreeing to work at legendary Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss’ new legalized brothel for women. Fleiss bought 60 acres of land in Nevada, and his work is scheduled to begin on Heidi’s Stud Farm.

She has high hopes for Tyson, once heavyweight champion of the world – despite the fact he is a convicted rapist.

She says, “I told him, ‘You’re going to be my big stallion.’ It’s every man’s fear that their girlfriend will go for Mike Tyson.”

Tyson, 40, adds, “I don’t care what any man says, it’s every man’s dream to please every woman – and get paid for it.”

Tyson was convicted of raping an 18 year-old beauty contestant 15 years ago, and served three years out of a six year sentence in prison. He bit Evander Holyfield on both his ears during a 1997 boxing match and was disqualified. He also spent nine months in jail in 1999 for beating up two people after a car accident.

Tyson declared bankruptcy in 2003 and said in a recent interview that he was considering going into the porn business to make ends meet.

Who in their right mind would pay this guy to screw them?

Heidi Fleiss is the process of applying for a license for her stud farm, and is now accepting applications from elgible male prostitutes.
