Kate Moss feels like she shouldn’t be held responsible for girls’ eating disorders

ByStarcasm Staff

Kate Moss isn’t very happy with her 90s legacy. Kate’s rail thin, pale look became synonymous with a fashion trend known as “heroin chic.” Dark circles around the eyes, and seemeing disheveled and lost also contributed to the look.

MUG SHOT Couples Therapy’s Dustin Zito arrested for alleged sexual battery (of a woman) in Louisiana

ByAsa Hawks

Former Real World: Las Vegas (and current Couples Therapy) star Dustin Zito was arrested and charged with sexual battery in Lafayette, Louisiana Saturday night after he allegedly “reached under” a girl’s dress and “grabbed her genitals without consent.” Making matters worse, Dustin resisted arrest and had to be pepper sprayed by the arresting officer before being booked. Zito was reportedly very inebriated and told the officer, “F*** it! Let’s Fight” before adding “that the female victim should be thankful that he reached up her dress since he is a TV Star and several girls wish for that to happen,” according to the arrest report.

But Dustin has photographic evidence that seems to suggest the incident was blown way out of proportion! (Well, aside from his drunken comments.) Keep reading for all the deets!
