Sports really isn’t our thing, but we are all over stories about hermaphrodites.

Caster Semenya has been making headlines since the South African won a victory in the 800-meter during the world championships. Many people began to question whether or not Semenya was really a women due to her broad shoulders, deep voice, lack of lady lumps, and handlebar mustache…ok, she shaved.

Turns out those inquiring minds were on to something. After being forced to take a gender test by The International Association of Athletics Federations, it turns out that Semenya is both a girl and a boy.

Via New York Daily News:

“The 18-year-old South African champ has no womb or ovaries and her testosterone levels are more than three times higher than those of a normal female, according to reports…Semenya could be stripped of the gold medal she won in Berlin last month and her competitive future is in limbo, according to Australia’s Daily Telegraph.”

The Federation has also suggested that Semenya have the necessary surgery to fix his…her…its little problem.

Semenya released the following statement:

“God made me the way I am and I accept myself. I am who I am and I’m proud of myself. I don’t want to talk about the tests. I’m not even thinking about them.”

She then grabbed her crotch, spit, and asked what time the game was on.

Madonna Wins Mercys’ Adoption Appeal

madonna-adopts-mercy

Watch out Angelina, looks like Madonna is catching up to you! In a desperate bid to add another baby to her collection, Madonnas adoption appeal for Mercy James has been approved. Overturning a lower court decisions, her Madgesty is now allowed to adopt a second child from Malawi.

Per People:

“I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court’s ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James. I am ecstatic … My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her,” Madonna said in a statement through her spokesperson Friday.

Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo ruled that her initial denial by the lower court was based on an old law. Although she hasn’t lived in the country for the required 18 months, the court said it should have taken into consideration her philanthropic efforts in the community. Madonna founded the charity “Raising Malawi” which helps to feed, educate and provide medical care for some of Malawi’s more than 1 million orphans. While preparations to bring 3 year old Mercy to America are now underway, it will take anywhere from 3-5 days to go through the necessary paperwork and to schedule the private jet with either Madonna’s lawyer or the director of her Malawi charity making sure she gets on the plane and arrives to the US okay… Wait, so let me understand this – she made such a big fuss over this adoption ordeal but now can’t find the time in her busy schedule of bumping uglies with Jesus to go and pick up the child herself?

Madonna’s lawyer said she was “ecstatic” when she heard the news that the adoption was finalized. Until she leaves, it is believed that Mercy may be moved to the Kumbali lodge where Madonna stays when she is Malawi. Mercy will join Madonnas other children children Lourdes, Rocco, and David, in New York where it is expected that she will attend nursery school with David. Madonna got her way, as she almost always does. While I find it wonderful that Mercy will now be able to have a decent life, laws are laws and she should have had to follow the requirements just like any other human being would have. I guess this goes to show that money does talk. I hope the Malawi government is proud that they basically sold a child. Am I the only one who sees the wrong in this situation?

Victoria Gotti In Foreclosure

Another day, another foreclosure – The Gotti’s gotta go! Mafia Princess Victoria Gotti long island estate is facing foreclosure after she has failed to pay a whopping $650,000 in mortgage payments on what may very well be the tackiest home in all of New York. The lender, JP Morgan Chase, claims the daughter of the late Gambino crime family boss John “Dapper Don” Gotti has failed to make payments for two years starting in September 2006. Gotti lives in the house with her three sons in the five-bedroom, 8,500 square foot home. The Gotti estate, which includes a swimming pool, tennis court, stables, guesthouse, waterfalls, a playground, a tacky fountain or two, a pond, and even a go-kart track, stretches over four acres in the blue-blooded enclave of Old Westbury, NY. It is the same house used in the her family’s tv reality show “Growing Up Gotti.” The show also featured Victoria’s spikey gel-headed disrespectful sons Carmine, John, and Frank, but was eventually canceled after because of poor ratings.

After divorcing her husband Carmine Agnello in 2003, Victoria became the the sole owner in 2005 with the bank transferring the deed to the house and the surrounding property over to Gotti. The bank says Gotti owes them $25,000 a month on the house, and claims she never made all the payments. Her mother, also named Victoria, says that her daughter’s “creep” ex-husband was to blame. Gotti claims she was unaware that Agnello had taken out an $850,000 loan out on the home before the transfer of the deed. Agnello, who was recently released from prison after serving eight years for racketeering, has allegedly not paid alimony or child support for her three sons and is now living in Ohio with a new wife.

Per NYDailyNews:

“He still owes the federal government nearly $10 million and yet they still allow him to live this way?” she said.

Gotti once tried to sell the home for $4.8 million but lowered the asking price this past January to $3.2 million. Gotti has been dancing around foreclosure for a couple of years now. In 2007, a lower court decision called a foreclosure on the property by JP Morgan Chase premature, but a Brooklyn appeals court reversed that ruling last week, as well as approving a plan to appoint a referee to coordinate the sale of the home.

Per Fox News:

“I was awarded full ownership of marital property . . . and all I inherited was a house with millions of dollars’ worth of debt,” Gotti told The Post yesterday. “This should finally put to rest all the government lies and rumors that I have $200 million buried in my back yard.”

Well, when things are garnered by ill gotten gain, you can’t expect to keep them. Seems blood money, lies and deceit purchased this home. I’ve always hoped this family would get a fraction of what was coming to them, and now they have. Thats Karma for ya!
