Naked Cowboy vs. the Naked Cowgirl

New York City's famous Naked Cowboy wants a bikini-clad woman who calls herself "The Naked Cowgirl" to stop ripping off his trademark.

The Times Square cowboy has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sandy Kane, a former stripper who's now a fixture of the city comedy scene, reports CBS station WCBS-TV in New York.

The cowboy, whose real name is Robert Burck, says if Kane's going to make money by posing for photos he wants her to sign a "Naked Cowboy Franchise Agreement."

Are reality shows turning everyone into a-holes?

Reality shows such as "American Idol" and "Apprentice" have almost no physical violence, but a new study suggests their rampant displays of name-calling and snarky gossiping still make for a much meaner TV-viewing experience compared with watching fictional TV shows.

The realistic portrayal of aggression on reality TV shows might even encourage viewers to imitate the non-physical aggression in real life, according to some theories. That verbal or relational aggression typically slips past TV-rating systems and media watchdog groups, which focus instead on condemning the physical violence of gunfights and fisticuffs.

"All of these reality shows would never receive a rating of violence or aggression from the current rating systems," said Sarah Coyne, a psychologist at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and lead researcher on the new study.

Newburgh in the news!

City police say a man who was stopped after being seen running naked through the streets, and who fought violently with officers who tried to subdue him, was under the influence of PCP and is being held at a hospital for medical treatment.

City police were dispatched to Prospect Street and Broadway at 11:36 p.m. Tuesday on a report of a man who was running while wearing nothing but sneakers.

When they arrived, police said, they saw cars swerving to avoid a tall, naked black man running eastbound in the left lane of westbound traffic. Police got out of their cars and ordered the man to the ground.

If Al and Tipper can't make it, who can?

They were the happy exceptions — high school sweethearts whose passionate romance led to a famously stable marriage in a capital perpetually rocked by tawdry scandals and sleazy affairs.

But on Tuesday, less than a month after they marked their 40th wedding anniversary, former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, announced they were breaking up.

The couple, who have four grown children, disclosed the news in a brief e-mail to friends and supporters. Gore, 62, and his wife, 61, gave no hint of whatever hidden turmoil might have caused their union to crumble.

"MOM! GIMME BACK MY BEER!"

A man was arrested Friday after deputies said he called 911 multiple times to complain his mother took his beer away.

Charles Dennison, 32, who was "very intoxicated," told a deputy who went to their home that he wanted his mother arrested for taking his beer, according to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office arrest report. If she wasn't charged, he said, he would continue to call 911.

A deputy charged him with making false 911 calls and took him to the jail in Land O'Lakes, where he remained Monday morning. His bail is $150.

He may be 80, but he's still more badass than you
