Oh this is a good one!

A guy in Tampa called 911, not for an emergency, but because he wanted someone to...uhm....talk dirty with. Ah!

He claims that his cell phone ran out of minutes and he was "in the mood", so he called 911--seems logical right?

After calling 911 four times and being hung up on by traumatized 911 operators, police were dispatched to his home and arrested him on charges of making a false 911 call.

I don't EVEN want to know HOW he used his cell phone minutes when he had them!

Nick Hogan's Friend Out of the Hospital

John Graziano, who was permanently disabled two years ago after Nick Hogan, Hulk Hogan's son, flipped the car they were in, was released from the hospital today.

Nick Hogan served five months in jail on reckless driving charges and has been sued in civil court by the Graziano family.

Our thoughts and prayers are definitely with John as he recovers from this horrible event.

G.I. Ho!

The owner of a "dancing" troupe in Florida has just released footage of "G.I. Joe" star, and Tampa-raised, Channing Tatum, stripping.

Turns out Channing was a "dancer" for over a year for an all male revue called "Male Encounter" back in 1999.

What a bad name---not catchy like "Thunder Down Under!"

The video is pretty scandalous, considering he gets down to a thong and gyrates. Quite a bit.

Try not to laugh at how silly he looks in nothing but a thong and gym socks!

Classic Moments in Florida History: Peter Pan Grows Up

Tampa Bay's own Peter Pan AKA Randy Constan, was married to his very own Tinker Bell, Dorothy in April of this year.

It's official: Peter Pan has grown up!

Peter Pan is a local personality who has gained national recognition for his fairy fashions.
He's even been on Late Night with Conan O' Brien!

I've personally seen Peter Pan a handful of times and he always appears in a happy, magical mood.
We could all learn a little from this guy!

If you haven't, a perusal of his website is a must.

Here you will find all of his magical outfits and I must say, they're all very well made.

Adult entertainment "actress" Stormy Daniels was arrested in Tampa over the weekend for domestic violence, claiming she was upset over how the laundry had been done.

Hilarious.

Who complains about having laundry done for you? Seriously!

Daniels had been in the news recently because she wants to run for the Senate seat in Louisiana.

For some reason, I don't see this happening!

The best part of the report is that her employer is listed as "Porn Star" LOL

FILF

Hulk Hogan grew up in Tampa and decided to become a wrestler after dropping out the University of South Florida.

He's had the ultimate success in the wrestling world, as well as roles on the big and small screens.

And we can't forget about his restaurant "Pastamania" at the Mall of America.
Who wants to grab a big bowl of pasta and then wrestle?

Hogan keeps to his roots, notably with the filming of his show "Thunder in Paradise" which was shot on location in Clearwater.

He's also the star of the reality show "Hogan Knows Best" which was based in the Tampa Bay area.

None other than the "Thug Misses" Khia!

Khia grew up in Tampa (what up 813!) and is best known for her epic ballad of love and devotion "My Neck, My Back".

She lives in Atlanta now, but she still keeps it real and represents Tampa when she can.

Khia has an ongoing feud with the rapper Trina and, as far as I know, can rap circles around her.

Why? Ugh, because she's the "Queen of the South" y'all!

I couldn't find the scene in the movie "The Door in Floor" when Jeff Bridges starts blasting "My Neck, My Back" to post--that would have been classic.

Guess this will do!

Florida on TV

I'm a little late on this announcement since I just read it today (and it's news from the last week of June) BUT I'm excited to hear that Tampa's very own Joanna Garcia has been cast in a reoccurring role on "Gossip Girl" (my total guilty pleasure).

I was EXTREMELY disappointed when I found out Joanna's show "Privileged" (based in West Palm Beach) had been cancelled.

Not cool CW. I loved the characters on that show and was really looking forward to seeing how they developed.

At least I'll get my fill of Florida's talent on the third, and much anticipated, season of "Gossip Girl"

Find out who she'll be playing at 'Privileged' star set for 'Gossip Girl'

Story of the Day

Billy Mays, known for his gravelly and robust voice as the TV pitchman for Oxiclean, passed away in his home in Tampa this morning. Mays was only 50 years old (just like Michael Jackson).

There's no known reason for his death. Very sad news.

I wonder if they'll still show his commercials on TV? It will be weird not seeing him passionately promoting those products any more.

Burt Reynolds is the ultimate FILF! 30 years ago!
Although born in Michigan, Burt grew up in Palm Beach County and stayed in the Sunshine State for college.
Burt became a Seminole attending FSU and joined their football team. After a football injury, he decided to be what he was born to be a STAR. A hairy sexy STAR.

Although movies like "Deliverance" and "Boogie Nights" usually come to mind to most people when they think of Burt, I always think of "Cop and A Half" (best movie made in Tampa ever---take that "Striptease--also starring Burt Reynolds!)

When not making movies, Burt can be seen as a contestant on 'Celebrity Jeopardy'.
