Cloning

SIMON COWELL HAS CLONING IN HIS FUTURE

Who knew that America’s Got Talent host Simon Cowell was such a soft touch when it came to dogs? He has three Yorkshire Terriers that he adores and spoils – and rarely leaves at home. They have flown around the world with him (including Barbados, above) and have the run of his private jet with white leather seats. Despite the fact that he shares his life with his partner Lauren Silverman and their five year old son Eric, Simon says he can’t BEAR the idea of living WITHOUT his beloved dogs and is starting the process of having them cloned in South Korea – at $75,000 a pup!

BARBRA STREISAND’S MORAL DILEMMA

Since Variety spilled the beans that Barbra Streisand had her beloved dog Samantha cloned, it’s been the talk of dog-lovers. You can’t blame Barbra for loving her Coton de Tulear so much that she had her cloned – twice. Every dog owner knows the agonizing heartbreak when the animal they’ve spent so many years living with, inevitably dies. Cloning seems like a good idea if you have an extra fifty to a hundred thousand dollars. But, as animal activists point out – the clone may LOOK the same, but the dogs are NOT likely to have the same personality. Even Barbra admits her dogs don’t behave like Samantha. So maybe it’s not really such a great idea…

ONE SIMON COWELL IS ENOUGH

We had no idea that Simon Cowell was SO totally in love with his dogs. It seems he has been researching dog cloning in Korea and is considering having his adorable Yorkies cloned so they can live forever. We wouldn’t have been surprised to hear that Simon wanted HIMSELF cloned, but it’s rather touching to learn that the bombastic Brit treasures his pets to that extent. In the photo above, his Yorkies tormented a paparazzo on the beach in Miami.

THE TWISTED SEX AND CLONING STORY OF JOYCE MCKINNEY WILL MAKE A GREAT MOVIE

Hollywood must be scrambling to buy the rights to the Joyce McKinney story: it features insanity, obsession, religion, a Penthouse pinup turned female rapist, courtroom drama, and a cloned vicious pit bull. Jeremy Olshan of the NY Post dished up all the lurid details that other news outlets neglected.

As you may recall, a woman named Bernann McKinney recently made the news because she cloned her pit bull in Korea for $50,000, and the result was five puppies. Someone recognized her photograph and ID’d her as Joyce McKinney, a sex crazed pinup girl who was on the lam for 30 years after she kidnapped a Mormon missionary. Joyce, a former Miss Wyoming, was a Utah student in the 70’s when she became obsessed with Kirk Anderson, a fellow student and missionary. They had a brief romance but she was too possessive, and he moved to England to escape her.

She tracked him down, and with chloroform and a fake gun, kidnapped him and manacled him with fur lined handcuffs to a bed at a remote cottage. After days of reading the scriptures and begging him to marry her, she forced him to have sex with her. Later in court he said ” I couldn’t move” and she testified “Kirk had to be tied up to have an orgasm.”

The UK tabloids went wild with the story, dubbing her the “Shackle Queen.” Somehow McKinney jumped bail and hid in Atlanta posing as a nun. When it became clear that British authorities didn’t intend to extradite her, she posed nude in a series of magazines. In 1984 she was caught skulking around Kirk’s home and was arrested again. In 1999 she was interviewed living in isolation in a shack in Tennessee with her beloved pit bull, who pulled her wheelchair.

Now it turns out her beloved pit bull viciously attacked two joggers and was condemned to be euthanized, but Joyce kidnapped HIM from the pound before he could be put to death. So these adorable puppies have THAT DNA. The Koreans who cloned her dog might be sorry they gave her a $50,000 discount for being “so nice.”
Who would YOU cast in the role of Joyce?
