CARLOS MENCIA - steals jokes. This of course was a bigger story when Joe Rogan confronted him on stage 3 years ago (video and backstory here), but this morning Opie and Anthony played an audio clip where Carlos actually admits it. It’s possible he was being sarcastic, but that would mean he actually wrote a joke by himself. Seems ridiculous when you think about it like that.

ALESSANDRA AMBROSIO - is Brazilian but she lives in Malibu and she posted a “Go USA” cheer with a bikini pic on twitter this morning after the US won their game in the World Cup. On a side note, if God had a girlfriend, this is what she would look like. (twitter)

ROBERT PATTINSON - is actually, honestly related to Dracula. Or at least Vlad the Impaler, who is widely considered to be the inspiration for Dracula. “Don’t you dare lump me in with those queers and fatties,” Vlad said when asked for a comment. (yahoo)

MICHAEL JACKSON - fans will be allowed to leave flowers near his grave site on the one year anniversary of his death. Which is bullshit. It should be closed. Wait, not closed. Enclosed. And then riddled with bullets. Good riddance weirdos. (abc)

HAYDEN PANETTIERE - went to LAX with her boyfriend, heavyweight boxing champion Wladimir Klitschko. He’s from Kazakhstan, just like Borat, and those people don’t fuck around when it comes to putting women in their place. I see a dog crate, but I don’t see any dogs. I hope Hayden has some water and went to the bathroom.

Carlos Mencia Stealing Jokes From Cosby - Click Here for more great videos and pictures!

How god damn dumb do you have to be to steal jokes from Bill Cosby? Bill Cosby is like a superhero to other comedians, everyone everyone everyone listens to his stuff, he's widely regarded as one of the best story-telling comedians ever. At this point Mencia might as well go on stage and claim that he created dolphins or the Simpsons. Comedy Central should be ashamed of themselves.

02.15.2007 JOE ROGAN PAWNS CARLOS MENCIA

Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia are both well known to steal other comedians material, then re-write it and pass it off as their own. Except Dane doesn't re-write it, he just says whatever Louis CK says and then flails around a little bit. Now that's comedy! But no one has screamed louder about all this than Joe Rogan and Brian Redban. And so Mencia called Joe on stage Saturday night at the Comedy Store in Hollywood for a battle to settle things once and for all. Umm, it didn't work out, as comedian after comedian came out to say that Mencia absolutely steals material. What’s amazing is that Mencia jacks material and still sucks. He's not even clever enough to steal good material. Its like breaking into a bank and stealing their pens. Or maybe the jokes are funny and he just fucks them up. It's hard to tell. The guy in this video wouldn't even make my list of The 100 Funniest Carlos Mencias.  I've seen this dude live and its just awful, like a Shakespearean tragedy, he might as well just bring an angel on stage and stab it.
