Francis was originally expected in court at 8:30 a.m. for a hearing on his attorneys' request to withdraw as his counsel. U.S. District Judge S. James Otero waited 30 minutes for the adult-video entrepreneur to arrive and had his clerk attempt to contact Francis by telephone, with no success. At that point, Otero issued a warrant for Francis' arrest.

When Francis showed up in Otero's courtroom after 1:30 p.m., indicating he had been suffering from the flu, U.S. marshals cuffed him and took him into custody, said defense attorney Melissa A. Weinberger, whose firm is representing Francis in proceedings stemming from Monday's bench warrant. (Source)

Joe Francis slams Samantha Ronson on the Tyra Banks Show

Is there anyone in Hollywood -- without the last name Ronson -- that actually likes Samantha Ronson? Certainly not Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis. He blasted Ronson on the Tyra Banks Show earlier this week, calling her a "wretched woman." Recap via PopEater:

During the episode, Francis calls Ronson "very jealous. Samantha tried to start a fight with me. I care about Lindsay - she's not gay. She's being controlled by this . . . wretched woman, this Samantha."

The feud began during the VMA party on Sept. 7 when Francis approached Lohan and Ronson's table. Ronson recalls the evening, "He said hello to Lindsay and looked over at me as if I wasn't a human being. He's got no manners." Lohan blogged on her MySpace a few weeks ago about the on-going feud. "Joe Francis has no place in saying anything about Samantha . . . especially after all the shit he has done." (Source)

Ah, true love. There's nothing like a Shakespearean tragedy ghostwritten by Jerry Springer to make me feel alive. In one corner you have the most famous pervert in the world, the man most responsible for squashing the Playboy empire and, unbelievably, lower the bar of human behavior at spring break with the power of his mighty video cam and free t-shirt. In the other corner, you have a woman who looks like Gollum with a more powerful tongue and thicker fingers. Let us not forget the object of their "affection" is a confused attention whore stuck in the middle of this shit sandwich. A reprehensible waste of skin but undoubtedly a great lay. There's gonna be an epic battle for the domination of that firecrotch, and decisions will need to be made. Who will it be? The bull dyke who spins records and can suck start a wave-maker? Or will it be the guy who's only accomplishment is getting paid for saying "take your top off" on camera to 14-year-olds. True love.

Kendra Wilkinson and Joe Francis at Karu & Y nightclub in Miami (9/26)

From Hugh Hefner to Joe Francis. I guess Kendra Wilkinson really has a thing for guys who convince young girls to flash their tits for money and fame . . . and by "fame" I mean "t-shirts." From the New York Post:

Is Kendra Wilkinson trading up? One of Hugh Hefner's "Girls Next Door" took a break from the Playboy Mansion to hang with "Girls Gone Wild" chief Joe Francis in Miami. They were making out at Karu & Y on Friday before Francis went to club Heathrow. There, an onlooker said, "He was texting Kendra on his BlackBerry all night until she finally showed up at 2 a.m. . . . they stayed out until 5." Francis told us, "If you were Kendra and you looked at the Playboy stock price lately [which closed at $3.94 yesterday, down from $12 a year ago], wouldn't you think about upgrading, too?" (Source)

Is going from Hugh Hefner to Joe Francis really "trading up"? That's like choosing lead over coal. Sure one might be harder than the other, but in the end they're both worthless old fossils that can be dangerous if ingested orally.

Joe Francis leaving a press conference in Panama City, Florida today

This dude hasn't been out of jail 12 hours and look at the piece of ass he already scored. I think I'm in the majority here in saying I'd like to choke this man to death with one of his free t-shirts.

Joe Francis is free

Joe Francis is officially a free man. The Girls Gone Wild founder plead no contest to child abuse and prostitution charges for videotaping underage girls in the spring break mecca of Panama City in 2003. Francis claims the girls lied about their age and none of the footage was ever used. Judge Deede Costello sentenced Francis to 339 days in jail but gave him credit for time served. Francis' legal troubles aren't over yet -- his Federal tax evasion trial begins in April. Regarding his Florida plea, TMZ writes:

[Francis] will be on six months' "non-reporting" probation, and "Girls Gone Wild" can't film in the area for three years. Bay County, we're told, will return Joe's brand new Ferrari, and $60,000 that they confiscated from him last year. (Source)

So he plead guilty to both child abuse and prostitution charges and was sentenced to less than year? God dammit Florida, just when I think you're finally getting your shit together, you have to go and fuck things up again. I hope to hell R. Kelly doesn't seek a change of venue. "Florida prosecutors announced today that in return for R. Kelly's plea of 'no contest' to child pornography charges, a statue of the singer will be built in the rotunda of the state capital building. The state bird will also be changed from the 'Mockingbird' to 'R. Kelly'."

If this guy does less than five years for all the crap that's come down on him in the last week, I will be very disappointed. Joe Francis added to his list of woes (charged with tax evasion earlier this week) Wednesday evening by bribing a guard for a bottle of water at the Bay County Jail in Panama City, Florida. The Girls Gone Wild mogul has been charged with one count of bribing a public servant, five counts of bringing contrband into a jail cell, and three counts of posessission of a controlled substance. All charges, classified as third-degree felonies in Florida, carry a maximum five-year prison sentence. From E! Online:

According to court documents, Francis offered guard Earl Cal $100 Wednesday evening and, when Cal passed, he upped the ante to $500, showing him the bills in the process.

Problem—inmates aren't supposed to be packing cash any more than they're allowed to pack heat.

A search of Francis' cell then turned up 16 pills, including the sleeping aid Lunesta and the anti-anxiety drug lorazepam, under his mattress and under a towel that was lying on a table, per court records.

The real question here is: How did he get those bills into the jail cell without being detected? Can you say suppository? I've heard of dirty money before but not that dirty. At least now I know where I got that raging case of E. Coli.--from that rolled up hundred I used to sniff coke off of that hooker's back ... man I love Utah!

I swear Joe Francis is not gay. After all, plenty of fem-looking straight dudes spend their Saturday nights hanging out in gay bars. From the New York Post:

Sightings: Girls Gone Wild goon Joe Francis spending a raucous Saturday night at the Abbey, L.A.'s notorious gay bar. (Source)

Nothing gay about that whatsoever. Nope. Like I always tell my friend Pablo: Who's gayer? A guy like me who feels so comfortable about his sexuality that he can wear the occasional mesh shirt, go to the occasional gay bar, and blow the occasional trucker ... or someone like you who is so insecure that he has to surround himself with gorgeous eager-to-please supermodels? I think it's pretty obvious. Homo.

Much like Britney's ex, Isaac Cohen, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis also gave an exclusive interview to the UK's News of the World over the weekend. Francis talked about his childhood, his influence on America, and his insecurities...kidding--he mainly talked about nailing a bunch of celebrities.

Regarding Paris:

"Me and Paris had sex in every place you can imagine, in every corner of the world. One time we felt horny while on my plane—so we popped into the bathroom for fast, furious sex on the sink. She loved being filmed during sex. too. There must be hours of footage. The touch of a woman's body also drove her crazy. I watched it—what man wouldn't give his right arm for that?"

Regarding Kimberly:

"Regarding the bedroom, Kimberly is without doubt the best sex ever — she's wild."

Regarding Lindsay:

"Paris was better than her at oral sex. But I love Lindsay and she's a very, very close friend. Right now I'm a shoulder to cry on during a tough time."

And finally, regarding Tara:

"Tara just lay there — she didn't move a muscle! I might as well have been in bed alone." (Source)

I'm stunned, really. There's no other way to put it. No, no, no--not about Joe Francis banging all these famous chicks but the fact that he has a freaking jet. A jet! I used powdered milk for my cereal this morning and this douche bag has his own jet. It's gonna take a lot of counseling for me to get over this one. Is it considered bad taste to bring a sleeping bag to your therapist's office? God I hope not.

Even though producer Scott Storch gave Lindsay Lohan $1 million worth of diamond jewelry a few weeks ago, she’s just not interested in him. Apparently she’s hooking up with Joe Francis--yeah, the same Joe Francis who owns the Girls Gone Wild franchise. According to Page Six:

Friends of Lohan say Francis was with her when she went to the hospital two weeks ago to have her appendix out, and they planned to leave Saturday for a mini-vacation at Francis' Mexican estate, but decided to stay in town. "Neither of them could resist the lure of the Golden Globe parties," laughed our spy.

From Wikipedia:

In an incident involving minors at Panama City Beach, Florida, during spring break 2003, Francis was arrested and then released on $165,000 bond. He was initially charged with 71 separate counts, including racketeering, drug trafficking, and child pornography. Police confiscated his private jet and other property.

And:

In March 2004, a Texas college student accused Francis of raping her in his Miami hotel room. She alleged that he had drugged her and had sex with her because she woke up the next morning in his bed and could not recall the events of the previous evening. Francis reported that he had consensual sex with the woman.

Wow, Lindsay sounds like she’s got herself a real winner. If I would have known she was interested in guys with a long history of sexual assault charges, I would have forwarded her my match.com profile. It's downright predatortastic!

Kidding, kidding...I've never actually been charged, just accused. There IS a difference.
