Another Oscar for Mel?
Mel Gibson's latest movie once again features extreme violence. Beheadings, disembowelments, limb amputations, genital mutilations, eyeball piercings, hangings, spearings, stabbings tons of blood and gore are commonplace. This mayhem is perpetrated by a swarm of extra terrestrials invading earth with the intent to destroy and take over the planet. Although this premise has been used before, Gibson's PR person, Tracy Iammancini, said in a recent interview that the gratuitous, graphic and mind-numbing violence makes the film unique and an Oscar contender. The movies title is "Jews from Space".

Beaver Trade Riles Sir Paul's Ex
Susan Jegeris, spokesperson for the recently-separated Heather Mills, said in a press release yesterday that Ms. Mills, though very concerned, upset and definitely fashion-conscious, has postponed plans for visiting Canada's north to protest the annual polyester hunt.
"Maybe next year," said the press release. "Right now, Heather is infuriated over a rumour she heard that lots of beaver can be seen in Montreal night-spots and finds this 'just too cruel for words.' She is working with Greenpeace to have these beautiful animals relocated to their natural habitat in the wilderness."

Memory Lapses
Liar, Liar, Liar!
Can't believe anyone
In light of allegations questioning the truthfulness of James Frey's memoir, "A Million Little Pieces", newly published, "A Million Tiny Tattles", written by Tracy Iammancini, is under investigation as well. The book is purported to be a memoir, but certain truths seem to have been exaggerated.
Karen King, NFY investigative reporter, has discovered that Ms. Iammancini was not born by immaculate conception as she claims; her mother simply cleaned the sheets after having sex. Also, the author's father was not murdered in front of her eyes, scarring her for life. In fact, her parents got divorced only last year, and her father still has visitation rights. Moreover, Iammancini did not graduate from a highly regarded university in Canada as a nuclear physicist. She works in the cafeteria of a nuclear power plant.
However, our reporter did verify one claim in the book: Tracy Iammancini does live in Ennismore.

Rapper's Release 'Inspired'

Ennismore -
Rap singer, Tracy Iammancini, after a number of poor albums, has come up with an exciting and innovative release. The CD cleverly combines rural African rhythms and urban sounds from Canada - something unique in a rap release. Sounds of water dripping and splashing, paper tearing and trucks backfiring are all part of this creative work.
During a recent tour promoting the album, Iammancini commented on the inspiration for its content. "During our last gig here in Ennismore, I got food poisoning after eating sushi. I spent almost three days and nights in the bathroom and the emotions and inspiration just seemed to flow out of me."
The album, simply entitled 'Iammancini Unplugged', will be on sale tomorrow.

Local Gal Wins Deco Title!
At a glitzy affair in New York's Waldorf Astoria, Ennismore girl Tracy Iammancini won the prestigious "Home of the Year" award offered by House and Garden Magazine. H&G editor, Karen King, said that Ms Iammancini had a flair unequalled by any of the other nominees.
The award carries a $25,000 US prize, plus guaranteed consulting fees worth about $100,000 over the next five years.
Martha Stewart, last year's winner, was lavish in her praise, but later, at the reception, an errant microphone caught her saying "...that upstart bitch took all her good ideas from me..."
