You'll be interested to know that Kenley, last season's love-her-or-hate-her bigmouth with a Bettie Page fixation, has been arrested for assault.

As People reports:

Project Runway season 5 finalist Kenley Collins was arrested in Brooklyn Tuesday after allegedly attacking a male with a laptop. According to the New York Police Department, Collins, 26, remembered by Runway fans for her brash manner and 1940s style, was charged with two counts of assault, criminal possession of a weapon and harassment after potentially striking a male in the head and face with a computer.

According to earlier reports from TMZ.com, the reality star allegedly attacked her sleeping ex-fiancé with her pet cat, water, several apples and the laptop. The Web site also reports that Collins is currently being held in jail.

Several apples AND a cat? I salute you, Kenley. (Thank you, Slog tipper Grace.)

"... after potentially striking a male in the head and face..."

How do you potentially strike someone?

This is her personal business. I don't care about this at all.

Shamelessly drawing attention to possible criminal activities in somebody's private life...

Does this make David Schmader a troll?

I'm still not clear on what makes someone a troll in this wide land of Slog.

It's okay! TMZ reported it! That's like totally not Seattle Weekly at all!

WORKING FOR THE STRANGER MUST BE FUUUUUUUUUN!

@ 1 Maybe she aimed for his head, but she's a bad shot. (The awkward phrasing gave me pause, too.)

She used her CAT to attack her ex? I hope the cat is okay... She should also be charged with animal cruelty.

I thought it wasn't possible to hate Kenley any more!

@ 5, you're new to Slog, so I'll tell you that they've been doing this stuff for years. Keep that in mind during your sure-to-be-brief stay.

Who throws a cat? That's just a totally awkward thing to hurl at someone.

Yes, Matt, I know. That's the problem.

@8 Abby, why do you care about this?

She would be simultaneously the best and worst girlfriend ever. You could get your entire drama quotient for the whole day before you had even brushed your teeth. And *think* of the angry/makeup sex!

Kind of like ECB without the best part, right?

I remember Schmader writing something about Jean Enerson and shoplifting. I guess the knife doesn't cut both ways.

Regular Sloggers don't care about being consistent, they merely care about how entertaining Slog is by their own measure.

Look, it's almost like they're trying to express themselves. How cute.

@15, yes, I think the presumed loss of the Kenley Penley post-marriage name change is the real tragedy here.

@18: Not all the regulars were against the airing of dirty laundry.

If I were attacking someone with a cat (note: it says attacked with, not threw at -- unless there's another report somewhere), I'd hold it by the torso and let the claws do the talking!

PS: could you trolls go visit Kenley's blog and demand her apology and then head to the Project Runway forums and comment on every post whinging on about how they need to run a show about this epic event?

In case you are too dense to make differentiations in life: Kenley = reality show star = someone who made a choice to make her life more public than the average person in the street. ECB = journalist =/= making a choice to be in the public eye, not in the job description.

kthxby

I salute the police for arresting her. I am with Rhianna and Kenley's ex.

@26, Is Slog journalism or public discourse?
Posted by Try harder on March 19, 2009 at 11:38 AM

@28: she writes for the Stranger. The Stranger is a newspaper. Make as many jokes or aspersions about the quality of the journalism therein, but that would be the definition of someone who writes stories for a newspaper.

Try again, Try harder.

Why didn't you answer the question?
Are her contributions to Slog journalism or are they public discourse?
Posted by Will you actually answer the question? on March 19, 2009 at 11:45 AM
31
It would depend on the nature of the posting. Scanning through her 461 Slog entries, they appear to be predominantly journalistic.
Posted by Cracker Jack on March 19, 2009 at 11:55 AM
32
This has grave implications for the quality of her journalism then.

Attention everyone! Stranger news editor Erica C. Barnett got busted for trying to shoplift a bottle of wine. Please comment on this matter in one of the bazillion Slog posts referencing/alluding to the subject, thank you. (But while we're on the subject, let me say that what's more embarrassing than being a shoplifter is being a crappy shoplifter. If you're going to break the law, please have the decency to do it well enough that you don't get caught. Thank you again.)

No it doesn't.

I don't expect all of the people who write the news, police my streets, supervise me at work or vice versa, or who are the president of my country to have lily white records. People are fallible. They have lapses of judgment. They tell little lies, they steal pens from work, they put sick day on the time sheet when they just don't want to take another vacation day, they smoke some weed.

You've all had your say -- several hundred times -- now take your holier than thou attitudes about a PERSON, shove them firmly up your behind and waddle away. The moment has passed. Move on. If you want to continue your crusade, host your own blog. It's free.

@34: Sorry David, you wrote that while I was writing.

I am not against the airing of dirty laundry, but I find the continued howling for blood to be extremely tiresome and all too reminiscent of the usual Erica-hating assholery that usually follows her posts.

Dear wolf pack: Erica shoplifted a bottle of wine. She got caught, the Weekly reported it on their blog, and much pointing and laughing followed. Now you've drummed up discussion about it on Slog. Congratulations, dipshits. What do you still want? An apology? A steak sandwich? A blowjob? Or do you just want to continue the mutual stroke-fest about Erica being WRONG and also PROUD?

Is that the real David Schmader? If so, I have lots of respect for saying that.

@35: Please don't double-post the same comment on multiple threads -- find some new ad hominem attack for this one, ok?

Why are you all surprised that when someone makes a living tearing people apart her downfall is greeted with joy from the people she took apart? It is not brain surgery, it is simply human nature.

poorly managed shelf stock is no excuse for a "penny pincher".
