Best Roommate Ad Ever: Free Manhattan Studio For Back-walking, Wife-finding Female [Craigslist]

Do you want free rent in Manhattan? This craigslist user got a deal for you: All you need to do is walk on his back for an hour each day. And give him your leftovers. And find him a girlfriend. You will never believe who posted this ad: Harvard-trained eye surgeon Dr. Emil Chynn , aka the Cornelia Street Crusader! Dr. Chynn is the LASEK expert who emailed a 2,600 word rant about his neighbor’s rundown property to half of New York’s media, and had an ice statue made of his (adorable) dog, Hershey. Tonight, he posted one of the most incredible Craigslist roommate ads ever. Titled “FREE STUDIO ON PARK AVE FOR PERSONAL ASSISTANT!” , the post offers a free studio apartment in the basement of his office building in exchange for services as a “personal assistant.” (Women only!) Including: Spending an hour “either walking on my back… or if you are more than 115, you can just give me a deep masage.” Plus, helping him tidy up “my ski house, my beach house, or my other beach house.” Also, finding him a girlfriend: “Part of your assignment will probably be to reactivate my match.com profile and troll for dates for me, as i don’t really have the time to do this properly.” A daunting task, but if you succeed in finding Chynn a woman he eventually marries, you are richly rewarded—by his parents: “my parents will give you a reward of $10,000 in cash, ie bills, so that’s a bonus!” We have spent enough time researching Dr. Chynn to know this is likely true. The post does not outright identify Dr. Chynn as the author: How do we know it’s him? Chynn is known in his neighborhood for taking in women rent-free as his “personal assistants.” He has also posted similar ads in the past. The office of Chynn’s eye surgery practice, Park avenue Laser, is Park Avenue South at 25th st. The Craigslist listing is Park Avenue South at 24th St. Chynn loves his dog. The ad states: “i have a very sweet dog, so you must like dogs and he must like you, as he is the love of my life (at least until i find a wife)” Chynn makes it very clear in his email signature that he has degrees from Dartmouth and Columbia. The ad refers to the poster’s “multiple ivy-league degrees.” Chynn states clearly that your duties as his personal assistant do not include “ANYTHING SEXUAL.” Plus, there’s that $10,000 cash bonus if you get him hitched! So… uh… maybe it’s not a bad deal? He seems sort of harmless. Read the post, and if it sounds like your kind of thing contact Dr. Chynn and move into the basement of his eye surgery practice. (The best parts are highlighted. And, Dr. Chynn, if you’re serious about that bonus—let’s talk. We have friends.)

Fire That Delayed Lil Wayne Sentencing Ruled An Accident

Smoke was caused by an electrical miscue in the basement of the courthouse. By Jayson Rodriguez New York City Fire Marshalls enter the Manhattan Criminal Court building in Manhattan Tuesday Photo: Timothy A. Clary/ Getty Images The fire that caused Lil Wayne’s sentencing to be delayed twice this week has been deemed an accident, according to the New York Daily News. The smoke was caused by an electrical miscue in the basement of the courthouse, and as a result, the building was evacuated. The Manhattan Criminal Court building was later closed for the afternoon, which resulted in a number of hearings to be postponed, most notably Lil Wayne’s. Scaled-down proceedings took place Wednesday (March 3), but an official confirmed to MTV News in the morning that the Cash Money Records lyricist would not be sentenced until Monday . The courthouse was closed Wednesday as operations moved to a smaller building across the street. “For losing the biggest courthouse in the state, we’re doing pretty well,” a spokesman for the Office of Court Administration told the Daily News. “We expected it to be a bit messy, but we’re still up and running.” Lil Wayne will now have through the weekend until he faces Judge Charles H. Solomon. The rapper reached a plea deal with prosecutors in November, and as a result, he will serve a one-year prison term. He is expected to turn himself in immediately after formal sentencing. On Tuesday night, Wayne appeared at Madison Square Garden alongside Young Jeezy during Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour. As of press time, it’s unclear if the superstar MC will stay in New York or return to Miami, where he resides. His lawyer, Stacey Richman, suggested Florida would be better to spend his remaining free time. “Maybe he’s going to go home for the weekend,” Richman said. “I think I would — the weather’s nicer down there.” Related Videos Lil Wayne’s ‘Road To Rikers’ Related Photos Lil Wayne Heads To Rikers Island Related Artists Lil Wayne

Cops Seek Missing Meds in Brittany Murphy Case

Brittany Murphy had a lot of drugs in her system when she died in December. Her death has been ruled an accident, but several questions about it linger. The actress obtained a prescription for 120 hydrocodone (Vicodin) pills 11 days before her death, but on the day she died, there were only 11 pills left. Suspicious, no? Moreover, the L.A. County Coroner’s Office cannot locate the doctor who prescribed the pills and are currently on the hunt to find him. According to the Coroner’s report, the medication prescribed specifically to the fallen star were supposed to be taken a maximum of four times a day. But since 109 of the pills were missing from the bottle when she died, only 44 should have been gone if Brittany had maxed out on the prescription. R.I.P. The late Brittany Murphy last year. [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] Brittany’s husband, Simon Monjack, says he is vindicated by the accidental death findings, but officials want to know why so many pills were prescribed at all. A member of the Coroner’s Office recently went to Simon Monjack to assist them in locating the doctor who prescribed the meds, but he was not any help. The cause of Murphy’s death is listed as “accidental” – the result of pneumonia, prescription and over-the-counter drugs – but is still far from a closed case.

Casey Johnson Autopsy Results Reveal Possible Nyquil Addiction, No Illegal Drug Use

Earlier this month, a Los Angeles coroner confirmed that Casey Johnson died of diabetes-related complications. He specifically cited an issue known as “diabetic ketoacidosis,” which is caused by a lack of insulin. Yesterday afternoon, meanwhile, the L.A. County Coroner’s Office released the official autopsy report for Johnson’s death and it revealed a few details related to the tragedy: Casey’s body was free from injury of any kind. Multiple medications found at the scene included Motrin, insulin and clonazepam. The report cites a “possible excess use of Nyquil.” No illegal drugs were found in Johnson’s system. Two sad notes related to the Johnson & Johnson family heiress: her death was preventable if she had taken better care of herself; and her body may have been found on January 4, but it lay in her home, undiscovered, for days.
