Here is the latest cover of The New Yorker Magazine crackin’ a joke on Alaskan Governor Palin. Palin has claimed she has foreign policy cred because Alaska is close to Russia. SMH.

Fill in The Blank:

If the old man John McCain (72 years old) beat Obama and “unfortunately” dies from his lifelong battle with cancer and Palin becomes President, this country is____________________.

Read this sh*t:

Police in Middletown made a rather bizarre arrest Monday night, taking into custody a woman dressed in a cow suit who was seen acting erratically. Michelle Allen of Middletown was arrested on one count of disorderly conduct for allegedly getting in the way of traffic on Wilbraham Road and chasing children in her cow suit. She also urinated on a neighbor’s front porch, police say. According to police, Allen talked back and threatened to cause problems in the jail if she was arrested. Allen appeared in court Tuesday morning dressed in the suit. It is not clear why she was wearing the costume.

Let this be an example to everyone out there. The next time someone tries to get you to smoke some different color weed from the new “weed man,” you remember this story about a woman dressed like a fu*king cow, and JUST SAY NO. Stay for the twizzlers and ice cream after the weed smoking session, but don’t smoke that sh*t. Don’t ever say Bossip never did anything for the black community…

Here are some pics from Ciara’s new video. It looks as though they were going for the “aggressive, dominatrix” look and we were kinda hoping to continue the soft, “Vibe-cover” look. At any rate, the chick is good for a decent video, so we’ll be the judge of the finished product. What are your first impressions?

The Game won’t have to serve any time:

A judge agreed to dismiss Game’s battery charges — for allegedly punching a cousin at a family funeral — as long as he does 36 anger-management meetings by February 2009. He could’ve faced clink time if convicted. The tiff was over money, you’ll remember, and Game’s relative dropped the dime on him at the funeral and made a citizen’s arrest … even before the body was in the ground.

If you knew you could punch your nagging ass aunt, the one who says you’re getting fat at every family reunion, right in her face and not get locked up, would you do it? Hell to the yeah! We hear you. Not that we promote violence, but come on Relative, at the damn funeral, though? Lord, have mercy.

The pink toe above is State Representative John LaBruzzo of Metairie, LA. He’s proposing legislation to pay women on governmental assistance $1000 to have their tubes tied and the same amount to men who elect to have vasectomies. So… we’re spaying and neutering poor people now???? WTF??? Okay, it is irresponsible to have 8 kids when you can’t provide for even one, but this f&ckery is incredibly insulting and quite evidently aimed at the Black community. He for damn sure wouldn’t suggest this bigoted ass policy if he knew that the majority of people on welfare were white. They just don’t want the N.O. to be Chocolate City any more. B!tches.

These people have got to be off their rockers these days:

A mother told police that child-sized human remains uncovered in her basement freezer were those of her two adopted daughters, and police believe that she is responsible for their deaths. Police were investigating an abuse complaint Saturday when they discovered the remains encased in ice. The mother told investigators that they had been in her southern Maryland home for at least seven months, and police said they are considering the case a homicide. “We have reason to believe that’s the two children in the freezer,” Lt. Bobby Jones of Calvert County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. “We believe that the mother, who adopted the two children, is responsible for it.” Autopsies would need to be completed before they know for sure that the remains are of the girls, who would be 9 and 11.

Deputies made the gruesome discovery in the home in Lusby, about 50 miles southeast of Washington. They were there with a search warrant to investigate the treatment of a girl who had run away and “showed signs of extreme abuse and neglect,” the sheriff’s department said. The girl’s mother, 43-year-old Renee Bowman, has been arrested, and a judge has ordered her held without bail. She is charged with first-degree child abuse in the beating of the runaway 7-year-old, who was found wandering in the neighborhood wearing only a blood- and feces-soaked T-shirt. The girl escaped from a locked bedroom by jumping out a second-story window, and Bowman admitted beating her with a “hard-heeled shoe,” officials said.

Damn, she had those kids in the freezer since February. What kind of sick f*ck does ish like that??

People, this is a sad state of affairs:

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Richard Collier, shot while sitting in a car outside an apartment complex earlier this month, is paralyzed below the waist and his left leg was amputated, his doctor said Monday. Collier was on a ventilator for about three weeks and has no memory of the shooting, said Dr. Andy Kerwin, a surgeon for the University of Florida at Shands Jacksonville hospital. “His overall condition has improved greatly,” Kerwin said. “We expect him to be discharged soon.”

While it is a good thing that Richard didn’t die due to this act of violence, this young man and his family could definitely use our collective prayers to get over this ordeal. Although we do make light of pretty much everything on this site, this is a serious situation and we sincerely wish Mr. Collier and his family, the very best as they commence the most challenging journey of their lives. The team here at Bossip, and all of our readers are right behind you!!!

Denzel Washinton and his boo/wife Pauletta hit the streets to spend a little quality time. How precious, these two will be together until they’re old and gray (which isn’t that far away, SMH).

Janet Jackson is recovering from a sudden illness, according to a report by Livesteez:

Superstar Janet Jackson has been hospitalized after falling ill shortly before a concert says a representative for the singer. According to a statement released by W&W Public Relations, the singer canceled her concert in Montreal on Monday after she “got suddenly ill” during her sound check and had to be rushed to the hospital just before show time, according to the Associated Press. The statement says Jackson is being monitored at the hospital and hopes to reschedule the show. No further information was given about Jackson’s condition. Jackson, 42, is currently on her North American, “Rock Witchu” tour.

Get well soon, hopefully this illness has nothing to do with JD and his vomit.

We have to put a stop to this. Damn it, we’ve supported J. Hud in her rise from relative obscurity to the ranks of stardom, and how does she choose to repay us? By coming out looking a smokin’ hot ass mess. F*ck that! Jennifer, when we see you, we are most definitely going to have words. We gotta go…we can’t even think right now…

Wachovia collapsed today and was sold off with government assistance to Citibank. This comes after Washington Mutual failed last week. This sh*t is no joke, the stock market is headed for a complete crash today after Congress failed to pass a bailout plan:

The fate of the Bush administration’s $700 billion financial bailout plan was abruptly thrown in doubt Monday as a House vote turned against the controversial measure.

The next steps were not immediately clear but supporters were scrambling to put it up for another vote.

What was supposed to be a 15-minute vote stretched past the half-hour mark as leadership scrambled for support.

Investors who had been counting on the rescue plan sent the Dow Jones industrial average down as much as 700 points while watching the measure come up short of the necessary support, before rebounding slightly. The key stock reading was down more than 500 points.

Jesus Take The Wheel! You better believe we haven’t even “felt” the real heat yet. With all the trouble, at least Obama will likely get elected to try to turn this sh*t around.

Halle Berry was photographed doing something completely out of line: carrying her own yoga mat! If she has to carry her own yoga mat, what other regular stuff might she be doing? There is something inherently wrong about making $10 milli per movie AND still having to do basic things for yourself. This is just disgusting.
