It's Bad Behavior Friday™!

The NY Post reports the advent of "a bombshell exposé on 'American Idol,' reportedly exploring the relationship between the 'Idol' judges and the show's contestants."

The woman who said she found a human finger in a cup of Wendy's chili has been arrested in connection with the case, Las Vegas police said. Here's an updated story released later in the day. Coincidentally, the NY Times today published a story on the internal forensic investigation conducted by the fast food chain.

In the purgatorial armpit that is the Clear Lake Area, a local M.D. has had his licence yanked for using cocaine.

This is a few days old, but the recent description of bad behavior in the Cary Tennis column on Salon shouldn't be missed:

However, it has come to light recently that he is not who he has said he is. Now that he is in his mid-70s, we are finding out that he never attained the title he claimed at the company of his lifelong employment, never went to the schools he claims (MIT among them), and has many other issues. He was dishonorably discharged from the Army, but claims time in Korea and shrapnel injury. These are all lies. He is also a thief. He has made a habit of dining and dashing -- and shoplifting (including a lawnmower from Home Depot) -- and has nearly been caught a couple of times. He has a way of talking his way out of things, but has been 86'd along with my silently protesting mother from numerous restaurants in their hometown. I've also caught him in some minor fibs, such as calling me from one place and claiming to be at another. There are also indications that these are not new behaviors. His children from his previous marriage do not speak to him. My mother has been with him nearly 15 years and has suspected things -- she recently told me about what she has discovered, as well as the horrible nature of their marriage, which is loveless and verbally abusive.

Watch for more bad behavior as the day wears on.
