The flamboyant television food personality and enthusiastic pusher of an inane new line of pointless butter spreads allegedly admitted to telling racist jokes, using the N-word regularly, and — wait for it — enlisting “black men to play the role of slaves at a wedding” she was planning.

A vehicle collides into a group of people standing on a East Village street corner early Wednesday, injuring eight three critically, officials said. The cause of the 6:58 a.m. accident at E. Fourth St. and Second Ave. was being investigated, FDNY sources said.
Horrifying scene. Right on my corner!
Seems like the driver must have been drunk — he plowed straight into the sidewalk at what must have been speed. Looked like he ran into a cyclist, too (I noticed, while wheeling my bike out and crossing myself).
And the bodega that got smashed up was demolished by a fire just a couple years ago. Poor guys.
