Carly Simon reveals man behind “You’re so Vain”

The mystery man is not who you think. Nope, it wasn’t one of her ex-lovers: not Cat Stevens, Mick Jagger, Warren Beatty or Kris Kristofferson.

In fact it, it apparently doesn’t have anything to do with romantic love at all.

Simon whispers the name “David” in the a new version of the song. The UK’s Daily Mail says the David she’s whispering about is openly gay mogul David Geffen, co-founder of DreamWorks SKG and the head of Elektra, Simon’s then-record label.

The newspaper guesses Simon wrote the song after Geffen dissed her and began heavily promoting her rival Joni Mitchell.

What do you think?

PETA scraps neuter Tiger Woods billboard, going after Mark Sanford

Here’s good news for PETA and bad news for wives: there are plenty of cheating dogs to mock while promoting animal spaying and neutering.

Lawyers for golfing great Tiger Woods ‘kindly’ threatened to sue the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals if the activist group proceeded with hilarious plans to erect billboard mocking Woods reading “Too Much Sex Can Be a Bad Thing … For Little Tigers Too. Help Keep Your Cats (and Dogs) Out of Trouble: Always Spay or Neuter!”

Perhaps shaken and stirred, PETA will now put up a billboard featuring that South Carolina’s governor of lust Mark Sanford as part of its “cheeky spay-and-neuter” campaign.

According to the New York Post, the tagline will read “Your dog doesn’t have to go to South America to get laid.”

PETA’s ad campaign aims to reduce the number of cats and dogs from being euthanized at shelters each year, according to The Orlando Sentinel.
