Dear Friends: Dick Clark and that weasel Ryan Seacrest aren't the only ones working the countdown angle this week. Like many other news outfits, we're also offering one of those trite, end-of-year "Best of" lists. Except ours is actually entertaining--it's a compilation of 2005's greatest mug shots. For the year's 15 best booking photos, go here: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1229051mugs1.html Teenage boys everywhere can finally rest easy: Oklahoma cops have arrested the 20-year-old California adult film actress who allegedly bedded a 15-year-old after plying him with Ecstasy and other drugs. Details at: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1223052silva1.html Not for a second do we believe that "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria disparaged a San Antonio policeman as a starstruck "Mexican bike cop." The horribly overexposed little diva probably just called the officer a wetback. Story at: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1227051longoria1.html New prize contest has started, so tell us why Ross returned the t-shirts and you might win some fine booty, including throwback DVDs of the original versions of "King Kong" and "The Producers." Enter this way: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/contest/contest.html Finally, we're closing the year with another exclusive raffle for newsletter subscribers. This time, we're giving away 20 bottles of a limited edition hot sauce that we recently had manufactured (and which we've been giving away as a holiday gift to friends of the site). In recognition of the CIA leak scandal, it's labeled "Valerie Flame Hot Sauce." Look it up if you don't get the reference. Anyway, you can start tossing your name in the hat late Friday morning, when we should have our raffle page updated. So show up Friday after 11 AM here: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1101051hotsauce1.html Have a Happy New Year, Your pals at TSG --- You are currently subscribed to tsgnews as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [email protected]
