Today's blotter: Dourdain, Van Winkle, Hogan
• CSI actor Gary Dourdain was arrested in Palm Springs on suspicion of possessing heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescriptin drugs, TMZ reports. All that investigating obviously gave him some ideas.
• Robbie Van Winkle, a.k.a. Vanilla Ice, is in the clear after wife Laura Van Winkle retracted her statement that he beat her during an argument on April 10, TMZ adds. The site says no witness could back up her account, but really, who admits to seeing Vanilla Ice do anything?
• And finally, the Internets are buzzing with photos of Hulk Hogan putting suntan oil on his daughter Brooke’s bottom in a creepy display of paternal doting we can’t condone (nor can we show you the photos, because they cost money and if you haven’t heard, the economy is sour). Click here and remind yourself, it would be worse if it was Miley and Billy Ray.

if this were a person without money touching thier daughter in such a fashion they would be in jail or on trail or killed. It is wrong no matter how you look at it, I mean certainly she can rub her on behind

It only goes to prove that they truly are "Native Floridians". This is usually what makes girls in Florida lesbians.
