Tiki Barber continues to fight the bad publicity surrounding his relationship and marriage with that blonde bimbo Traci Lynn Johnson by emailing Page Six directly: Newlyweds Tiki Barber and Traci Lynn Johnson celebrated their city hall nuptials with a dinner at Le Cirque and an after-party at downtown hot spot Catch on Thursday night. “It was a great night to start this new chapter,” a beaming Barber told Page Six of their happy evening. The former New York Giant and his blond bride, a former Maxim pin-up girl, got married at the city clerk’s office on Thursday afternoon. Barber’s divorce from his first wife, Ginny, had been finalized just eight days earlier. After the ceremony, Barber, 37, and Johnson, 25, were joined at Le Cirque on East 58th Street by 20 friends and relatives, including both Barber and Johnson’s mothers and Barber’s brother Ronde Barber, a cornerback/free safety with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. “Le Cirque was the right mix of intimacy, great food and NYC ‘restauranteur-ism’ for our closest family and friends to celebrate the beginning of our lives together,” Barber told us via e-mail. “It was beautiful and most importantly, my bride, as always, lit up the room. She planned a great evening that made it easy and comfortable for everyone.” After the intimate dinner, the bride and groom headed to Catch, where they continued toasting their future with their family. “There was no better place than Catch to cap our first night as husband and wife,” Barber continued. “Even both of our parents came, and we partied and danced and had a fantastic time. We didn’t quite close the place but it was well into the early morning when we left.” Several photos from Barber’s big day were posted on his Twitter feed, including one of the happy couple at the head of the table at Le Cirque, and another of Barber’s mother, Geraldine, at Catch with guests. Barber, who has four children with his ex-wife, and Johnson have been dating since 2010, after meeting while she was an intern at NBC while he was a correspondent on “Today.” What we found really interesting is that Tiki has already changed his avatar on Twitter to the main photo we used for this story while his new wife not only hasn’t changed her name — she also hasn’t changed her avatar from this skanky Maxim picture: Things that make you go hmmm… If you’re really into this lovesick dirty dog puppy and his wedding, check out some photos he tweeted about the big day when you continue.
The Situation has been discharged from the Cirque Lodge rehab center in Utah, where he was receiving treatment for substance abuse, according to reports. Now the real test for the Jersey Shore star … STAYING clean. Sitch, a.k.a. Mike Sorrentino, checked in to the famous clinic weeks ago. Clearly he tried to keep it on the DL, but after the story leaked, he admitted he had to “get control of a prescription medication problem I had due to exhaustion.” The Situation’s drinking problem, while never addressed by the star, was also said to have become a problem multiple times over the course of five seasons. It’s unclear if he’s quit boozing for good, but if so, that’s going to be quite a twist for a reality show predicated around binge drinking and subsequent boning. Hence the rumors that Jersey Shore may be phasing out Situation (and pregnant Snooki) after the new season, which they are both set to film this summer. We know Snooki will cut a bitch if you mess with her kid … but a pregnant girl in the Shore house? With a sober Mike? Can that really make for quality TV? Tell us: Would you watch Jersey Shore without Snook and Mike?
American Idol dished two hours of giddy theatrics last night: We started with an hour of Las Vegas auditions featuring Beatles songs (courtesy of the Cirque du Soleil rollerblading clown show Love ) and concluded with sixty minutes of the judges’ first Top 24 invitees. BREAKING : I loved American Idol this Wednesday. Let’s break it all down in the wrong order: We’ll start by discussing the five declared entrants into the Top 24 and conclude with our (my) feelings about the remaining hopefuls. EXCLUSIVE : Still don’t trust Robbie Rosen.
I love watching girls dance but I haven’t gone to the stripclub recently, mainly because it’s dull. Sure I love seeing bitches get naked, but I am so over watching bitches get paid to get naked. They are uninspired and seem like robots working the assembly line of taking off clothes and letting dudes grab your tits for money. They are like fast food workers cuz no matter where you are in the world, you know what you are going to get. Same moves, same outfits, same acts, same everything. It’s fucking cookie cutter, and I guess that’s why they are strippers and not running ad agencies or the Cirque du Soliel…. So I’ve decided to try to find everyday bitches in dance, from creeping on Salsa classes, to creeping on Jazzarobics, to high school dance shows, to dance recitals, and none of the shit did anythinf for me, cuz I realize I need to see pussy when a bitch dances….so it’s safe say as much as I love girls dancing and hate strippers….seeing pussy makes everything better. So here is Kate Moss, a model not a dancer, doing some bullshit dance campaign for some show she is probably a part owner in, and she isn’t showing her pussy, which is a good thing, cuz after years of banging needle-sharing heroin addict rockstar gutter dick has left her pussy a fucking mess…but I guess this is for old times when she was worth jerking off to….
