Today’s D’Angelo Lee story has got me really upset about the state of things. If a former member of the Dallas Plan Commission can’t spend Sunday morning at the Knubian Fantaciez all-nude stripper club–which open-mindedly offers all-male shows after midnight–without fear of having his $15,000 alligator billfold temporarily stolen and…
While former Dallas-area quarterbacks are leading ranked teams to record performances, SMU’s Justin Willis is suffering through life on the Hilltop. Willis, the former standout at Denton Ryan High School, threw for a paltry 112 yards and was benched during Saturday’s abysmal 24-6 loss to North Texas. Meanwhile, former Southlake…
This is what Stephanie Morris, a Bible Girl contributor and Dallas Theological Seminary student, has to say about the spat between the Reverend W. Dwight McKissic and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary over the practice of speaking in tongues: Stephanie Morris: Dwight McKissic can talk to God any way he wants…
In college, we had this MTV channel, mtvU, that actually played music videos. Weird, right? You could turn it on and expect to see a full-length, non-TRL shortened version of (at the time) some My Chemical Romance, Phoenix or Snow Patrol video. I know, how embarrassing, I’m showing my old…
In the ongoing soap opera at Water of Life Church in Plano, preacher Doyle Davidson has posted another “message to Lisa” with a new tidbit of information–and what reads like a threat. For the first time, Davidson says that the church–and the Spirit of the Lord–bought Lisa and J.R. Staton…
Or Is It? Shella Sattler is hot. She is a former cheerleader for the Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Clippers. She could pretty much seduce any guy in Dallas. But you know what? Shella craves fat dudes. Weird I know, but there’s a twist. Isn’t there always? When she’s not…
This sounds like just the thing to kick off your Sunday morning: having a nosh with Bill Blaydes, Gary Griffith, Darrell Jordan and Mitchell Rasansky. But all those announced and likely mayoral candidates will in fact be at Temple Emanu-El this very Sunday at 9 a.m. participating in a…what, round-table…
The Cowboys lost for a bunch of reasons Sunday. Chief among ’em? This guy. So much for 16-0. Your Dallas Cowboys have been playing football since 1960. After Sunday’s 24-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars , poof, another chance at an undefeated season wasted. Here in Dallas, of course, the…
We are not the only ones who get a little sick at the thought of a Dallas Morning News without Ed Bark in it. On Friday, all those who have taken The Dallas Morning News’ buyout offer will be ushered out the door. I have no doubt it’ll be the…
Gas prices in Dallas continue to fall, according to the Dallas Business Journal, which attributes it to “calmer weather.” “Dallas motorists are paying about $2.54 a gallon for regular, self-serve gasoline, about 12 cents less than last week,” the article says. And maybe that’s not such a good thing, according…
So my story on truck stop whores got posted on some Web site called rotten.com, and in the comments section, in which people are bitching about how long the story is and how much it sucked, a guy named Johnny lifts the lid on a whole other world. Texas State…
I just got a call from ESPN 103.3 FM station manager Peter Dits, who tried to explain the station’s decision to choose Jennifer Engel over Steve Dennis. “We made the decision to build the show around Jennifer,” Dits says. “Steve has a lot of talent, and hopefully he’ll stay around…
Tarantino’s and Green Room and Trees may be gone, but there’s still a lot of life down in Deep Ellum, thanks in no small part to Frank Campagna, owner of the Kettle Art Gallery on Elm Street. He’s got a show opening tomorrow night that I’ve been excited about for…
Today’s sign of the apocalypse: Airing now on ESPN 103.3 FM, The new Little Ball of Hate Show. What earlier this week was a decent and maturing Dennis & Engel combo has abruptly deteriorated into a one-woman act with the surprise firing of Steve Dennis. The 9 a.m.-noon slot on…
Hey, Taylor, want an Observer sandwich? It’s tasty. DALLAS–Last night, Merritt Martin and Andrea Grimes had a threesome with Taylor Hicks. In their minds. When the American Idol winner walked into Club Dada around midnight after finishing a performance at Nokia Theatre, Grimes frantically telephoned Martin, knowing that a possible…
Nothing like a little morbid curiosity to boost a sale Big estate sale going on right now at 4949 Swiss Ave., subject of the recent series of stories in The Dallas Morning News, “Mary Ellen’s Will: the battle for 4949 Swiss,” by Lee Hancock, which I thought was really terrific…
I hereby predict your Dallas Cowboys will win this Sunday in Jacksonville, go 10-6 this season and return to the NFL Playoffs. More important, I foresee no better place to watch the Cowboys this season than at the old Granada Theater on Greenville Avenue. Starting Sunday at 2:30 p.m., the…
The University of North Texas will play SMU this weekend. So we hear. In case you’ve been too busy lighting another candle for the late, great Crocodile Hunter, the University of Texas hosts Ohio State Saturday in Austin in what is apparently the earliest ever College Football Game of the…
I’m not gonna lie. I’ve been to the Premier Athletic Club once, and I ran out when I saw a certain D staffer naked in the jacuzzi. But I coulda sworn it looked just like the place behind Borat in this photo.Last night—by which I mean, this morning—I went to…
Screw Rock Star: Supernova. We’re thinkin’ we prefer our karaoke live…like, in person. Last Wednesday, we ventured into the world of live backing bands with Rock Star Karaoke hosted by the lovely and vivacious Jenn Nabb. Good thing we did when we did–the karaoksters got the boot from Lakewood Bar…
On Monday we mentioned The New York Times’ story about how an Irving-based company charged with training Afghan cops wasn’t doing such a top-notch job. Well, guess DynCorp International isn’t so Irving-based anymore: There’s an Associated Press story from this afternoon that says the government contractor with a sex-slave scandal…
You’re fat. A real porker. Chunky McBlubber. Fatski Von Tubbenhausen. How do I know? Men’s Fitness says Dallas is the 4th fattest city in the U.S., up from 6th last year. So chances are you could stand to lose a few, just like Terry Daniels did this year. Terry before…
