JOAN RIVERS’ NEW BOOK BREAKS ALL BEST SELLER RECORDS

July 7, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

New York, NY (The Adobo Chronicles) – ‘Diary of a Mad Diva’ is the title of a new book by comedian and fashion police Joan Rivers, and it has broken all existing records for bestselling books.

The book is number one in the bestselling lists of The New York Times, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, People Magazine, Time, AARP Magazine, Congressional Quarterly, The Onion, and even the Guinness Book of World Records.

Thanks to the publicity stunt Rivers did during a live interview on CNN where she stormed out of the set in protest of what she called anchor Fredricka Whitfield’s ‘negative questions.’

The video clip immediately went viral and resulted in a temporary shutdown of many Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram accounts.

But it was not just Rivers and her new book that benefited from the stunt. CNN’s declining ratings since the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 suddenly shot up to the roof of its Atlanta headquarters.

Rival cable networks Fox and MSNBC suspect that CNN was in on the stunt.

CNN IS BIGGEST WINNER IN NFL DRAFT OF FIRST OPENLY GAY PLAYER

May 10, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Atlanta, Georgia (The Adobo Chronicles) – History was made today when the St. Louis Rams picked the first openly gay player ever to be drafted in the NFL. Michael Sam will join the Rams in the next NFL season.

It was a big win for Sam and the lgbt community but the biggest winner was CNN.

As soon as NFL vice president of game operations Mike Kensil walked to the podium at Radio City Music Hall in New York and announced the selection of Sam, pandemonium filled the newsroom at CNN’s Atlanta headquarters. Producers, news directors and anchors were high-fiving each other and popping bottles of champagne.

For several weeks now, CNN was getting very nervous because it was running out of news material for its 24-hour cable broadcast. It has spent several months covering and discussing the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. To this day, CNN could only report that the search operations for the doomed plane or debris have turned up nothing – zero, nada, zilch. CNN anchors, pundits and self-proclaimed expert analysts have run out of theories, speculation and wishful thoughts on what happened to the Boeing 777 jetliner. They’ve also run out of props (toy planes, etc).

The NFL draft announcement would give CNN a good 90 days of continuous coverage and it has lined up guests and experts who will discuss, analyze, and speculate on the aftermath of Sam’s unprecedented draft.

CNN Newsroom has already scheduled segment topics such as ‘The Future of NFL,’ ‘Locker Room Politics’ and ‘Heterosexuality, Homesexuality and the new NFL.’

Los Angeles, California – What’s next for Los Angeles Clippers basketball team owner Donald Sterling after being dealt with a lifetime ban from the National Basketball Association (NBA) and a pocket change fine of $2.5 Million?

The unprecedented disciplinary action, announced in New York on Tuesday by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, is the fallout resulting from Sterling’s taped racist comments made to his girlfriend and leaked to TMZ.

Well, the billionaire has set his eyes on the very entertainment media company that caused this entire mess, TMZ. According to sources very close to Sterling, he has offered to buy the TMZ network for $1.5 Billion. TMZ is reportedly seriously considering the offer.

If the sale goes through, Sterling’s focus would be to spy on basketball team owners within the NBA with the goal of bringing them down with him. “I am confident TMZ investigative reporters will find some scandal involving each of these owners,” he reportedly said. Ultimately, the sources said, Sterling wants to take down the entire NBA.
