Gnostics Find Affirmation in Gospel of Judas

...But for Gnostics, a small branch of Christianity, that so-called revelation was just a confirmation of a long-held belief that there was more to Judas and the crucifixion story than the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John suggest.

"Gnostics were inclined in this direction for a long, long time," said Bishop Stephan Hoeller, of the Gnostic Society, who also leads a congregation in Los Angeles. The society was founded in 1923, he said, and the church, Ecclesia Gnostica, was started in 1956.

...In Gnosticism, some oral histories have portrayed Judas in a positive light, said Tau Malachi, a Gnostic bishop in Northern California. Malachi said he practices within the Sophian tradition, which dates from the mid-18th century and is rooted in Jewish mysticism.

Michael Berens, Found Satirist

I'm knee deep in the last volume of Bruce Wagner's cellphone trilogy, Still Holding, so I'm already fairly maxed-out on Hollywoodinaneiana, but a throwaway mention of Charlie Sheen's new kidswear line in a news story about Sheen's reaction's to Denise Richards' brutal court filing tanatlized me like few things ever have. And the more I learned the less I was able to believe. This is life imitating farce. This is life eviscerating farce:

Sheen Launches Clothing Line

HOLLYWOOD - Celebrity dad Charlie Sheen is launching a line of children's clothing.

The Two and a Half Men star is teaming up with pal and business partner Michael Berens to create the Sheen Kidz collection.

The clothes will hit trendy Los Angeles boutique Kitson Kids next month.

The store will carry a selection from the 75-piece girls-only line and the prices will range from $20 to $80.

Sheen will have final approval over all fabrics and designs in the collection.

The actor was inspired by his two daughters, two-year-old Sam, and baby Lola.

Sheen is currently in the middle of divorce proceedings with the children's mother, actress Denise Richards.
