New Feature! - 'Six Degrees Of Parker Posey'

Because of the comments on the previous Six Degrees post, we are going to change it up a bit.

Instead of Kevin Bacon, we must now all relate actors back to 'America's Sweetheart', Parker Posey.

This should be a little more of a challenge.

So first up, find the Six Degrees using Jane Fonda.

Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon

When I get an insomnia attack and am stuck there in bed wide awake, I play the Six Degrees game to take my mind off the fact that I can't sleep.

So this morning, I was trying to link Josh Lucas to the Bacon, and I couldn't do it in under six connections.

Anyone have any suggestions? It's driving me crazy.

Six Degrees Of Parker Posey

Molly Ringwald to Parker Posey in less than six degrees.

Put your results in the comments.

Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon - 'Parker Posey'

Parker Posey was in 'Josie and the Pussycats' with

Rosario Dawson who was in 'Sin City' with

Clive Owen who was in 'Derailed' with

Jennifer Aniston who was in 'Along Came Polly' with

Ben Stiller who was in 'Something About Mary' with

Matt Dillon who was in 'Wild Things' with

Whew, there's got to be a shorter one than that.

Maybe we should do Six Degrees with another actor to make it more challenging.

Any suggestions?

Six Degrees

When I got home last night, there was this guy on my floor who stopped me and said he was looking for a 'Mike Jones', and he wondered if I knew him. I told him that I didn't and thought that was kind of odd.

I hadn't seen that guy in the building before. Then this morning I was reading a follow up article on Ted Haggard [the hypocrite preacher who is anti-gay, yet was paying for booty calls and crystal], and saw that the guy who outed him, is named Mike Jones. [!]

It has to be the same Mike Jones. In retrospect, the guy in the building could have been a reporter. He had a blackberry and a notepad.

So I wonder if Mike used to live in my building? I haven't noticed any other gays in the building, and especially no one who looks like a meth head/dealer.

UPDATE:

Nope. I don't know, or haven't seen Mike Jones before.

Pastor: Haggard admits to 'some' allegations

Evangelical leader earlier denied man's claim that he paid for sex, drugs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rev. Ted Haggard, who stepped down as head of the 30 million-member National Association of Evangelicals on Thursday after allegations that include having gay sex, has confessed to some of the allegations, a fellow pastor said in an e-mail to church members.

'It is important for you to know that he confessed to the overseers that some of the accusations against him are true,' Ross Parsley, the acting senior pastor at New Life Church stated. Haggard on Thursday also stepped aside as leader of the 14,000-member New Life Church, based in Colorado Springs.

'He has willingly and humbly submitted to the authority of the board of overseers, and will remain on administrative leave during the course of the investigation,' the e-mail stated. A copy was obtained by KMGH-TV in Denver.

Haggard, a married father of five who has been called one of the most influential evangelical Christians in the nation, denied the allegations, telling Denver's KUSA-TV late Wednesday: 'I've never had a gay relationship with anybody, and I'm steady with my wife, I'm faithful to my wife. So I don't know if this is election year politics ... or what it is.'

His accuser, Denver resident Mike Jones, refused to share with The Associated Press voice mails that he said backed up his allegation, stating that he is having them reviewed by a voice analyst. Jones further claimed that Haggard paid him for methamphetamines.

Gay marriage on state ballot

The allegations come as voters in Colorado and seven other states get ready to decide Tuesday on amendments banning gay marriage. Besides the proposed ban on the Colorado ballot, a separate measure would establish the legality of domestic partnerships providing same-sex couples with many of the rights of married couples.

Jones, 49, told The Associated Press he decided to go public with his allegations because of the political fight. Jones, who said he is gay, said he was upset when he discovered Haggard and the New Life Church had publicly opposed same-sex marriage.

'It made me angry that here's someone preaching about gay marriage and going behind the scenes having gay sex,' said Jones, who added that he isn't working for any political group.

Jones, whose allegations were first aired on KHOW-AM radio in Denver, claimed Haggard paid him to have sex nearly every month over three years. Jones also said Haggard snorted methamphetamine before their sexual encounters to heighten his experience.

Jones said he had advertised himself as an escort on the Internet and that a man who called himself Art contacted him. Jones said he later saw the man on television identified as Haggard.

He said that he last had sex with Haggard in August and that he did not warn him before making his allegations this week.

What's on alleged voice mails

Jones said he has voice mail messages from Haggard, as well as an envelope he said Haggard used to mail him cash. KUSA-TV reported excerpts from some of the alleged voice mails late Thursday.

'Hi Mike, this is Art,' one call began, according to the station. 'Hey, I was just calling to see if we could get any more. Either $100 or $200 supply.'

A second message, left a few hours later, began: 'Hi Mike, this is Art, I am here in Denver and sorry that I missed you. But as I said, if you want to go ahead and get the stuff, then that would be great. And I'll get it sometime next week or the week after or whenever.'

Jones said Haggard was referring to methamphetamine.

'There's some stuff on there (the voice mails) that's pretty damning, he said.
