Girls Gone Wild founder and general sleazebag Joe Francis has been left by his wife of less than two months. I know! I didn’t see it coming either.
The source says that they’re not sure if Christina McLarty‘s going to move back in with Joe, but the way things look right now their marriage is headed straight for divorce. Joe was apparently talking about the split at the Kardashian family Christmas party, “He was talking about the details of the separation openly while at the Kardashian holiday party. Christina moved out a bit after Thanksgiving.”
It was thought to be impossible but it’s true–’Girls Gone Wild‘ creator Joe Francis is no longer a single man. The founder of the controversial video empire traded vows this past weekend with his longtime girlfriend Christina McLarty, E!Online.com reports.
Francis and McLarty didn’t participate in a traditional wedding; instead they choose to have a civil union.
“We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don’t believe it’s appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States,” he told Page Six soon after getting engaged.
The couple’s ceremony took place at Francis’ beachfront mansion in Punta Mita, Mexico in front of 200 guests. Kevin Huvane, cochair of Hollywood talent agency CAA, officiated the union. The guest list included several Kardashian family members including Kris and Bruce Jenner and daughters Kylie and Kendall. Francis’ best man was reportedly Quincy Jones.
McLarty, an entertainment reporter, and Francis got engaged this past June while vacationing in St. Tropez.
Piranha 3D director Alexandre Aja has told EW he is not worried about the possibility of legal action by Girls Gone Wild chief Joe Francis.
In the film, which was released on Friday, Jerry O’Connell plays a character named Derrick Jones who runs a Girls Gone Wild-type operation called Wild Wild Girls. Jones is shown snorting cocaine and encouraging two underage characters to drink liquor.
Last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter, a lawyer representing Francis sent a letter to Piranha 3D distributors The Weinstein Company cautioning “all those associated” with the film to refrain from maligning Francis. The letter stated that “any defamatory or disparaging statements; or depictions in the media or in the film itself, or other statements that portray Francis in a false light, will be met with swift litigation to recover substantial damages.”
“I believe Mr. O’Connell may lose more than his penis if he and the Weinstein Co. choose to release this film and continue to falsely associate me with its questionable content,” Francis told The Hollywood Reporter, referring to a sequence in the movie during which Derrick Jones’ penis is indeed bitten off by piranha.
But according to Aja, the character in the spring break-set movie was actually inspired by a number of different people. “When I was writing and developing that character, which was in the original script, I never thought about Joe Francis,” said the French director. “I am not [concerned]. There are so many person like that. Spring break is about thousands and thousands of kids getting drunk and partying. Around them you have very bizarre people. On the one hand, you have the very religious ultra-Christian people trying to convince them to read the bible and not show their boobs. And on the other hand, you have people from the adult industry coming to provoke and tease college kids and have them doing crazy stuff on camera. This character of Jerry O’Connell’s was, for me, a human piranha. But not based on anyone specifically. Writing that script and creating the Wild Wild Girls, you cannot help yourself but think about Girls Gone Wild and about Joe Francis. But it’s a very very, very, very, very, different character. People might recognize a little bit of him, but it’s based on so many other people.”
Not only is this funny because his name really isn’t all that good to begin with, but as the character in the movie (played by Jerry O’Connell, who deserves a comeback for sure) seems only to be doing pretty much exactly what Francis does in real life: party and get girls to take their tops off.
“Girls Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis — who never met a teenage beauty he didn’t want to get naked — is getting hitched!
Francis, 37, proposed to Los Angeles’ CBS News Entertainment Reporter Christina McLarty — niece of Mack McLarty, former White House chief of staff to Bill Clinton — while vacationing in St. Tropez. But it won’t be a traditional wedding.
“We have chosen to have a civil domestic partnership because we don’t believe it’s appropriate to be married until our gay and lesbian friends are afforded the same rights as us to legally marry in the United States.”
The couple have been dating on and off for nearly four years, during which Francis — who spent 339 days in jail battling various charges in Florida and Nevada — also went to court against Steve Wynn over a $2 million gambling debt, and the IRS, which seized $100 million from his bank accounts.
The gorgeous McLarty, who started her TV career in Texas, raised eyebrows two years ago when she appeared onstage in Las Vegas in a skimpy showgirl costume for a segment on Sin City nightlife.
The proposal to McLarty was obviously made on impulse. Asked about the ring, Francis said, “We’re having one made.”
The happy lovebirds were giddily planning the ceremony with 200 guests for sometime in September at Casa Aramara, Francis’ lavish beachfront estate in Punta Mita, Mexico.
Francis revealed, “The weekend will be fun, luxurious and filled with lots of surprises.” Quincy Jones, his longtime neighbor in Bel Air, will serve as best man. “This will be a nontraditional celebration of love, family and friends,” Francis said.
I wonder what the bachelor party will be like?

“Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis was arrested yesterday when he decided to show up for court five hours later than scheduled. He was hauled off to jail by U.S. marshals after the judge issued a warrant for his arrest earlier that day.
He was due in court over a request by his law firm to withdraw as legal counsel in his tax evasion case.
Francis cited the flu as the reason for his tardiness. He was immediately taken into custody. If you’re like me, then you’re thinking that’s what this d-bag gets for being late to court. Someone’s gotta show this idiot that they’re serious and he should respect the court enough to show up on time.
His defense attorney, Melissa Weinberger said that she would try to have him released after he was processed.
Francis is accused of failing to pay taxes on more than $20 million in business expenses. The tax trial is due to start in March. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
“Hustler” founder Larry Flynt and “Girls Gone Wild” entrepreneur Joe Francis are going to Congress to get themselves their very own bailout – to the tune of $5 billion.
America, the economy is failing. The banks are going to crap and the automakers were groveling at the feet of Congress for some bailout money. Joe Francis and Larry Flynt want you to know that the porn industry needs your help.
You’d think that with the economic crisis going full force, people would be looking to porn or alcohol (or sometimes both), but apparently that’s not the case.
Flynt and Francis are teaming up and taking their case to Congress for a heft $5 billion bailout. They’re claiming that the adult entertainment industry has taken a hit because of the economic downturn and that DVD sales are down 22% from last year.
Flynt says, “With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind. It’s time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America.”
Francis sees the industry like the automakers, only much bigger. He says, “Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation’s most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration.”
Days after Ashley Dupre, the Eliot Spitzer call girl, dropped her $10 million dollar law suit against Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis a new sex tape emerges.
In response to questions on why she abruptly dropped her multi-million dollar suit which claimed GGW induced her into exposing her breasts while being filmed when she was only 17, her lawyer released this statement:
“Ms. Dupre wants to eliminate all negativity from her life and focus on the positive. She has prospects for many exciting new projects and is looking forward to starting a new chapter.”
Well it looks like that new chapter is going to involve a barrage of explicit videos starting with this newly released sex tape.
Hilary Clinton hit up a bar in Puerto Rico on her trail to try and score herself a spot as a candidate hopeful. Why this is news is beyond me. I find it to reaffirm my assumption that she is a total freak just like Bill. Bitch barely gets her swerve on and it is all over Fox News.
Ol’ Hilary is like tuxedo t-shirt….she is here for business, but knows how to party. I bet if you gave her a tequila shooter and promised her a cheap hat her modest green blazer would come off.
What Others Said:
Drunken Stepfather- “I guess it’s kind of appropriate, because as Clinton holds onto this race as hard as she can, she’s not going to win and her job is pretty much done because it seems like the only person who wants to see tits in charge is me.â€

I do apologize, but Shayne Lamas totally sounds like the name of a tranny hailing from the Midwest.
Regardless, Lamas won the grand prize of a tv engagement that will last 2 months before she finds “The Bachelor” guy, Matt Grant, in bed with some Russian prostitute circa Sean Penn pre-reconciled divorce. Shayne even scored a 6 page spread in the Girls Gone Wild magazine. Before you go rushing out to buy a couple of copies be warned that there is no nudity and Lamas prattles on about how she jumped on the reality tv train to find “true love.â€
Right…just like those C.U. Next Tuesday bitches from “The Hills†are looking to make the world a better place by ending starvation and Rachel Ray isn‘t sponging fame from the teat of Oprah.

Joe Francis was “very surprised and in fact amazed” when he was told about the suit filed by Ashley Dupre, ex-New York Governor Eliot Spitzer’s former call girl.
Dupre, 22, filed suit Monday seeking $10 million from Francis and his company, Girls Gone Wild, for misuse of her name and image for profit.
Francis had publicly offered Dupre a $1 million deal for a Girls Gone Wild photo shoot and tour but while he was haggling with her lawyers, the GGW tapes of Dupre from 2003 surfaced and the deal was called off.
“She refused this offer and in fact if she’d like to reconsider, we’d be happy to discuss. She should keep in mind, it’s considerably more than the Governor of New York paid her, and our activities aren’t illegal.â€
Asked in March about reports Dupre was underage during the GGW shoot, Francis said, “It doesn’t matter.”
Well… obviously it did matter… that will be the ace in her pocket in court.

Then her rep came forward and defended the nude photos as “art.†Deciding this was a better story, Partridge then went along with the art theory and stated this on her Myspace:
“I intended them to be artistic and not in any way provocative… The photos were for personal and portfolio use only and not meant to be seen by the public… I thought that to be a model you had to be comfortable in front of the camera.”
Right. I am sure that if you pointed an empty paper towel roll at her and made the rolling film motion, she would go “Girls Gone Wild†and partake in lesbionic explorations.

Guess how Ashley spent her big day? We can exclusively reveal the first shots of the call girl’s romping week of X-rated shoots with Girls Gone Wild. The above stills are the first to surface from her raunchy video debut, Spring Break 2005: Anything Goes.
I guess if you are destined to go the path of trashy — nothing or no one can stop you.
“GIRLS Gone Wild” creator Joe Francis is a free man after 11 months behind bars.
Unlike previous years, where he spent time overseeing spring break filming, Francis retreated to his office to prepare for the launch of his new “Girls Gone Wild” magazine, set to hit newsstands on April 15th.
Francis headed straight to his office yesterday to get back to work. “We’re filming at every spring break location, 14 cities right now. We’ve got 50 or 60 camera guys out there,” Francis told Page Six from Florida, where he pleaded no contest to charges of videotaping underage girls and was released for time served.
His lawyer, Roy Black, said, “It’s a big victory for Joe. He’s such a high-energy guy. He couldn’t stand being in jail.” Francis planned to fly back to LA immediately.
Unlike past years, when he’d hit beach resorts in Florida, Texas and Mexico to oversee the spring break filming, he’ll be in his office. “I’ve got a magazine to put out,” he explained.
The first Girls Gone Wild magazine is due to hit newsstands April 15 at $9.99 a copy, poly-bagged with a full-length CD featuring drunken exhibitionist co-eds. Francis said Curtis Circulation had already lined up 50,000 retail outlets.
Let’s just hope that Francis has learned and is making sure that all those girls being filmed are over the age of 18.
Playboy better watch out… there’s a new boobie mag in town. Instead of thousands of women going to Glamour Shots and being weeded through by Hef and Holly, the inebriated college girls of America are the new prey.
For $9.99 you may be able to pick up your Girls Gone Wild magazine featuring drunken girls showing you their butterfly tattoos and lady bits. The Curtis Circulation Company confirms it will be a distribution that will feature editorials and pictorials of “the Girls Gone Wild girls.” Kinda like a slutty version of a Hooters server telling you about the new Audi her dad just bought her.
The smut hit’s the stands on April 15. I am sure it is only a matter of time before the naked co-eds are replaced by the now legal former stars of the Disney channel.
Joe Francis, creator of ‘Girls Gone Wild’ is feeling vindication on at least one charge against him. The two Florida women sho sued him claiming they did not give permission to be included in one of his cinematic masterpieces, are now saying they did and are apologizing.
” ‘Girls Gone Wild’ and Joe Francis have suffered as a result of this lawsuit and our actions,” Brooke Patsolic and Christina Brose said in a statement. In the video, the pair, who were both over 18, are heard consenting, with Brose crowing, “You have my full permission to put this on anything; I don’t care.” Patsolic says afterward: “Tomorrow, we’re going to be, like, ‘What the [bleep] were we doing?’ ”
Very nice ladies. But better than that is what Joe had to say:
“This is yet another example of false allegations that I have faced. I am tired of these lies being used against me in an attempt to extort money from me and destroy my name.”
Everyone knows you’re a scamming douchebag with no regard for women standup guy Joe, your name is just fine.
“It is incomprehensible that Ms. Dupré could claim she did not give her consent to be filmed by Girls Gone Wild, when in fact we have videotape of her giving consent, while showing her identification”
“I intended them to be artistic and not in any way provocative… The photos were for personal and portfolio use only and not meant to be seen by the public… I thought that to be a model you had to be comfortable in front of the camera.”
Some girls celebrate their 18th birthday by registering to vote, catching R-rated films or even buying an experimental pack of cigarettes. Not Eliot Spitzer’s Achilles’ heel, Kristen (aka Ashley Alexandra Dupré).
