She Has No Clue: Remember Susan Finkelstein? She's the nutjob who allegedly offered undercover police officers sex for World Series tickets. (She's quoted as saying, "I love sex. I’m a whore ... I’ll have sex with both of you. I’ll let you DP me.") Anyway, Finkelstein showed up at the "wingbowl" in Philly last week and inexplicably made the decision to wear a very slutty leopard-print catsuit. We found this impossible to believe - after all, she's married - but then we came upon this video. Unbelievable. [Daily News] (53)

Softball Coach Loses Job: "Palm Desert High School is without a girls varsity softball coach after the Desert Sand Unified School District fired their current coach Ashley Nieto. This all comes after a criminal investigation accused Neito's husband, Ronald, who is a registered sex offender, of volunteering with the girls softball team without the school's permission."
