rat-stealing.jpgJessica Gould, a reporter with the Washington City Paper who gained infamy by stealing food from Whole Foods grocery store sample sections, has been let go from the publication, Big Head DC has learned. Several others were also let go in an effort to reduce costs. Ben Eason, the new president of the paper, talked to us in August about his vision for the paper. Editor Erik Wemple is said to be devastated by the forced cuts.

candy.jpgPresident George W. Bush recalled today during a White House press conference that CNN’s Candy Crowley once gave a virus to most of the people on Air Force 1, including himself. In other unhealthy Crowley news, Rolling Stone reporter Matt Taibbi recently recalled Crowley during the 2004 campaign sitting on a bus with cookie crumbs “spilling out of her mouth, talking about how ugly Dennis Kucinich was.”

Check it out:

rudy.jpgRudy Giuliani’s former chef wants to find out if Hizzoner can stomach a helping of hot gossip.Just in time for the race to the White House, Linda Taylor, the former chef at the New York City mayor’s residence, is shopping a book proposal called Dishing the Dirt at Gracie Mansion. Her plan is to cover the 200-year history of families who’ve lived in the house, including several menus, recipes, and in Hizzoner’s case, a side dish of scandal.

Taylor tells Radar that there were quite a few dalliances during Rudy’s reign, with at least one guest being ushered out the front door as then wife Donna Hanover arrived at the back—not that Taylor ever talked to Hanover about what she observed. “The First Lady did not deign to gossip with the staff,” shares the now-San Francisco-based cook.

Also, adds Taylor, “at least half the staff” were openly gay and hooking up with each other, which, she says, could partially explain Giuliani’s lax stance on some social issues that the GOP has had such a difficult time swallowing thus far.

At the end of the saucy feast, Taylor says she’s a Rudy supporter. “My stories could help the mayor win favor with the public,” she tells Radar, adding that she’d cast a vote for the ex-mayor “in a New York minute” should he become the GOP’s presidential nominee.”I can’t imagine Giuliani would not like it, as I paint him in a new light—a man with a tough job, who did his job well and whose first priority, I think, would be to bring our sons and daughters home from Iraq.”

busted.jpgWow. Big Head DC has just received word that several City Paper staffers have been asked by the Whole Foods grocery store chain to stop taking free samples from market displays, if they do not intend on purchasing any merchandise!

The grocer’s dramatic step was taken in response to a blog post penned last week by City Paper staffer Jessica Gould, which explained to readers how to effectually steal food from various Whole Food chains.

“To sample successfully at the P Street Whole Foods, you go straight to the bakery section and work your way to the front,” Gould wrote in the controversial post. “The bakery’s good for some fresh bread and, if you’re lucky, a bit of Mo’s Dipping Sauce. Then you head to the olive section where, without risking disapproval, you can sample as many olives as you like. Sometimes you even find a quartered quesadilla atop the prepared foods counter.Gould went on to add that her favorite food to sample is free cheese.

In an almost taunting manager, she also said that she’s “always appreciated the store’s lax sample policies.”

Whole Food managers across the city, we’ve learned, have received complaints about Gould’s tactics from customers who actually do purchase after feasting on food samples. Read more…

Today he asks via a FishbowlDC poll question whether journalists prefer McDonald’s or Burger King. Gross! In light of his desperate desire to find pals who love fast food, we decided Gavin needs a poll of his own:

stefanie-gans.jpgOh my! It’s come to Big Head DC’s attention that Endless Simmer writer Stefanie Gans is the Michael Vick of the DC food scene.  Why?

Well, because she eats dogs!  Just look at her “about” page where she writes she likes eating “egg and cheese on a begal” and a “begal and cream cheese.”  Anyone who eats Snoopy has got to be just plain mean.

And! On her MySpace photos comments, a friend writes about how people used to debate whether she wore a bra to class. Maybe if she’d paid more attention to both the letters on her bra size and the letters in the alphabet, well, Snoopy might be alive and well. It’s sad how a typo can result in a dead dog.

Herein lies the problem with MySpace. Just because YOU keep your pics clean, Stafanie, doesn’t mean an IDIOT FRIEND won’t post a revealing one of you when they make a comment.  That’s Stefanie flashing (stage right). Apparently, she also works for some women’s business group, so the pic is pretty much all the proof you need to know how to get ahead in Washington.

Again, poor Snoopy!

Gag reflexes, be warned. 

Regular listeners of Rush Limbaugh (we are not one of them!) have reported that the conservative talker has taken to hawking an unusual item during his daily radio show.

No, not Viagra! It’s pig-flavored java that he can’t get enough of.

When he recently started plugging Maple Bacon Flavored Coffee on air, some listeners thought it was a joke. Read more…

Filed under: Scandals, Food, Nicolas Sarkozy

cecilia11.jpgRemember when we told you this past weekend that Cecilia Sarkozy called to cancel a planned lunch with President Bush and his family in Maine at the last minute, claiming that she and her kids had developed sore throats?

Naughty kids that we are, we speculated she simply didn’t want to dine with the Bush clan, and it turns out we were probably right.

She was spotted the next day shopping with friends, according to Reuters, setting tongues wagging across Europe that she was being purposely “elusive“:

“With every day that passes, the mystery deepens: Who is Cecilia Sarkozy?” French regional newspaper Le Telegramme wrote in its Monday edition.

“What does the wife of the president of the republic want? To live her life as she likes, without constraint? In which case, why does she accept invitations, like that made personally by Laura Bush?” it added, saying that U.S. first lady Laura had personally organised the lunch with Cecilia.

Hey, to her credit, they were serving hot dogs.

Filed under: Laura Bush, Food, Shocking, Nicolas Sarkozy

hotdog.jpgAll President Bush wanted to do was have a quaint all-American lunch today with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, his wife Cecilia and their children as part of his summer vacation in Kennebunkport, Maine. He was planning to serve hot dogs and hamburgers, picnic-style and then maybe take a ride out on the family speedboat.

But, apparently, those plans didn’t stomach well with France’s first lady. She called Laura Bush early this morning and said she and her kids had sore throats and ”were too sick to have lunch with the President.”

Cough, cough. Maybe he should have told them he was serving French fries instead.

Filed under: Silly, TIME, Howard Kurtz, BHDC, Food, Andrew Sullivan, The Atlantic, David Bradley

David (Bradley) [owner of The Atlantic magazine] regularly offered me tea and scones every year or so for the better part of the last seven years, to find out what I was up to, and always suggested ways to go work for him,” Andrew Sullivan told Howie Kurtz today.

And it worked. Sullivan left for The Atlantic after a brief period blogging for TIME.

Shoot, where might he go for a donut and soda? Big Head DC???
