Not sure what’s worse, this extra from “The Town” screaming at the Lakers from his dorm room window, or the unfathmoable dipshit behind the camera who finds him funny. We’re guessing Jeffrey Ross is already on high alert and crapping…

Brandon Marcello of the Clarion-Ledger reports that Mississippi State has been informed by the SEC that its fans are violating the league’s cowbell policy.
Of course, Kentucky visits Mississippi State on Saturday night.
Writes Marcello:
STARKVILLE – Mississippi State University’s cowbell compromise for home football games might be finished after a one-year trial.
The Southeastern Conference has told MSU officials of violations of legislation the school introduced in June that allows cowbells to be used during certain times during games at Scott Field.
The SEC is expected to levy financial penalties against MSU at the end of the year, MSU athletic director Scott Stricklin said.
Stricklin says fans “have not managed it right to this point,” when discussing cowbell etiquette during MSU’s first two SEC home games.
The AP also has a story on the cowbell controversy.
Oh, to be a British headline writer when the country’s biggest soccer star finds himself in the midst of yet another sex scandal. According to the News of the World, Wayne Rooney had sex with a “£1,200-a-time” prostitute while his wife, Coleen, was pregnant.
The young lass at the center of the scandal, 21-year-old Jenny Thompson, claims that she and Rooney had sex multiple times, and says that the Manchester United star, “chased me with sex texts and paid in wads of cash. He didn’t seem to care he was betraying Coleen.”
According to Thompson, she met Rooney at a casino. The two exchanged numbers and a few minutes of smooching, then separated. It was then that Rooney started texting her in earnest, asking her if she “fancied meeting up” (sidenote: isn’t this the best part of UK sex scandals – the extremely British ways in which the sordid details are explained?).
Thompson told Rooney it wouldn’t be free, and he was apparently cool with that. Rooney then asked if she could bring a friend, and Thompson agreed.
A week later Rooney met the girls at the famed five-star Lowry hotel. “My friend and I made an effort,” said Jenny.
“We both wore identical black lacy bra-and-brief sets specially bought from La Senza.
“Wayne told us he’d never had a threesome before. He was shy and awkward – and me and my friend were left to do all the work.
“He didn’t want us to put on a lesbian sex show, he was more into two girls pleasuring him at the same time. But it was all over far too quickly.”
Highlight (lowlight?) of the interview? This quote: “I never imagined Wayne Rooney would ever be one of my clients. I know a lot of people call him Shrek but he’s actually not that ugly when you’re sat in front of him.” Well, then.
