Among the 27,967 comments posted on Page2Live so far, some stand out by their laugh-out-loud humor, wry wit, clever reasoning, bald-faced meanness or abysmal stupidity.

Here are five comments from the past few days that caught my attention for any of the reasons above. You vote and I’ll print the one with the most votes in my Friday column in The Palm Beach Post:

1. “Yo, Gordo, how do I go about opening an investment account with you? You seem like the kind of dude people should trust with their money.” (by P. Ferry, commenting on High-profile society couple rocked by arrest in weird freak out)

2. “What’s the big deal? He filed bankruptcy, stiffed a bunch of people, and opened a new restaurant with other people’s money. It’s the American way. How many people in Florida took out a loan they couldn’t afford and have walked away from it? Folks like that have more to answer for than Tony Bova who is not doing the ‘woe is me’ routine and is at least trying to make a go of it and be productive.” (by Bully for Tony, commenting on Bankrupt Boca restaurateur Tony Bova heads back to the kitchen)

3. “Good luck, Brian, you’re going to need it.” (by Devil’s Advocate, commenting on actor Brian Austin Green marrying Megan Fox in T-Coaster Megan Fox’ mama: If she’s married, I’d be happy!)

4. “I had the same problem with my $400,000 drapes out in Jackson Hole. Instead of filing suit, I sold the home for a rock bottom price and wrote the loss off against my capital gains.” (by Peter, commenting on Decor not western enough for Palm Beach billionaire Bill Koch)

5. “JOSE, you are FAR too LIBERAL to appreciate Uncle TED. AND BTW they are not “assault weapons” they are GUNS. DO you call a Ford SUV involved in a drunk driving accident a “DRUNKEN VEHICLE”? DUH! GO TEDDY!!! ROCK ON!!! Call me! We can go to the range.” (by Dhoomonyou, commenting on Ted Nugent brings guitar-scratch fever to SoFla)

Nugent, Tuesday night in Fort Lauderdale (Click on the photo for more)

Reactionary rocker Ted Nugent brought his over-the-top brand of guitar playing to South Florida Tuesday night at a sold-out show in the intimate Revolution in Fort Lauderdale. The Motor City Madman, 61, is now known as much for his ultra-conservative views on things like gun control as for having founded the supergroup Damn Yankees. Which is probably why he felt it’d be okay to surround the drum set with assault weapons! (See below)

Koch and his lovely wife Bridget

Palm Beach energy magnate Bill Koch is on the warpath.

In a lawsuit filed in Palm Beach County Friday, Koch is accusing big-deal New York interior designer Charlotte Moss of not putting enough of a cowboys-and-Indians western motif in his Aspen, Colo., chalet.

Koch hired Moss in 2007, when the billionaire sailor and former winner of the America’s Cup bought the famous Elk Mountain Lodge in Aspen for a whopping $26.4 million.

And, according to Koch’s lawsuit, the contract called for Moss to decorate the 17-bedroom building in a western decor.

Why?

J.J Redick: That way to the chapel! (Orlando Sentinel photo)

The thing for celebs to do these days seems to be getting hitched in Palm Beach.

In the wake of the big Rush Limbaugh wedding this month, and in anticipation of the July 16 exchange of vows between Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen and his fiancee, Orlando Magic star J.J. Redick made an honest woman out of Palm City beauty Chelsea Kilgore over the weekend.

Three-point shooter Redick, 26, who lit up the scoreboard during the recent NBA playoffs but couldn’t get the Magic into the finals, was married Saturday at the Royal Poinciana Chapel in Palm Beach.

Among the 200 guests were Redick’s old Duke University coach, Mike Krzyzewski, and new Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doug Collins.

“They kept it small,” said Dr. Robert Norris, who performed the ceremony. He also officiated the wedding of another Magic star, Vince Carter, four years ago. “I didn’t see any of the Magic players. But it was a beautiful, traditional ceremony. This was JJ’s time to be a groom, not a basketball player.”

The Redicks and guests celebrated with a banquet at the Chesterfield.

Kilgore is a graduate from Martin County High School. She met Redick while attending the University of Central Florida.

Fox and Green

Big screen hottie Megan Fox‘ wedding last week in Hawaii was so secret that the former St. Lucie West Centennial High School cheerleader didn’t even invite her own mother!

As a matter of fact, Vero Beach property manager Darlene Tonachio didn’t seem to know for sure today whether her daughter, the former star of Transformers franchise, indeed exchanged vows with her longtime boyfriend, Beverly Hills, 90210 star Brian Austin Green.

“If there was a wedding,” Tonachio said, “I wasn’t there!

“But that’s Megan, all right. She would have wanted something low-key and quiet. She’d sneak off somewhere and surprise everybody later. If it’s true they’re married, I’d be a happy mama.”

News reports claim that Fox, 24, and Green, 36, tied the knot before half a dozen friends at the Four Seasons resort Thursday, on the big island of Hawaii.

British Royal Prince Harry of Wales poses for pictures with Wellington superstar polo player, and Ralph Lauren model, Nacho Figueras Sunday afternoon, after the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic on Governors Island in New York City. And the reason the 25-year-old Harry, the son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, isn’t looking too happy is because he took a spectacular tumble during the match. Or is it because the English national team was spanked by Germany at the world cup soccer earlier in the day? Or maybe, just because he’s a Brit?

Jennifer Capriati (Click on the photo for more)

The drug incident that landed former tennis prodigy Jennifer Capriati at St. Mary’s Medical Center Sunday may have been a suicide attempt, a government source tells Page2Live.

The source, who asked not to be named, said the 34-year-old Capriati swallowed a handful of prescription pills. The brand-name of the drugs wasn’t immediately available. It is unclear at this point who called 911.

“My understanding is that she had fight with someone early in the morning and she emptied the pill bottle in her mouth,” the source said.

The publicist of the former winner of the French and Australian opens told the Associated Press that the incident was an “accidental overdose.” The publicist, Lacey Wickline, didn’t describe the medications.

EMS crews were called to Capriati’s 19th floor condo at The Resort on Singer Island about 7 a.m. Sunday after the former tennis star swallowed the drugs.

Wickline told the AP Capriati is still recovering at the hospital.

Neil's booking photo (Click on the photo for more famous local mug shots)

Update: Dr. Feelgood’s co-owner Cleve Mash tells Page2Live that Neil’s DUI arrest Monday won’t affect the singer’s licensing contract with the Clematis watering-hole, and the bar’s operation. “It’s unfortunate that Vince didn’t seek a ride home, but many people make the same mistake. I’m surprised it happened. When I’m with him, he’s always been very responsible in everything he does.”

Sampling some of your own hooch, Vince?

Motley Crue frontman and West Palm Beach bar part-owner Vince Neil was nabbed on suspicion of DUI this morning in his hometown of Las Vegas.

Neil, 49, is being held in a local lockup until a court appearance scheduled for today.

If true, the incident occurs at a bad time for the supergroup’s singer of Girls, Girls, Girls, and Dr. Feelgood.

Neil, who’s a part of a licensing deal with the rock’n'roll-themed Dr. Feelgood’s on Clematis in West Palm Beach, is increasingly involved in a slew of business ventures.

He has his own brand of tequila, Tres Rios, restaurants and bars, and a chain of tattoo parlors. He just started his luxury air charter company.

And his first solo CD in 15 years, Tattoos & Tequila, came out last week.

When he opened Dr. Feelgood’s in 2008, Neil celebrated with seltzer water. He gave up booze for months as he built his business empire.

In 1984, the rocker pleaded guilty to DUI and vehicular manslaughter in the death of musician Nicholas “Razzle” Dingley, a passenger in Neil’s car. Neil drove with a blood alcohol content of .17 when he crashed into another car, killing Dingley and injuring the two occupants of the other car. Neil was jailed for 15 days, paid $2.5 million to the victims and their families and served 200 hours of community service.

Former tennis prodigy Jennifer Capriati was rushed to St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach at dawn Sunday after she suffered a drug overdose in her breathtaking 19th floor condo in Riviera Beach, Page2Live has learned.

Residents at the fancy Resort at Singer Island, where Capriati has been spending most weekends since 2007, reported seeing oxygen-carrying ambulance crews in the lobby of the condo building, which is also a Marriott hotel, about 7 a.m.

Capriati, 34, a former winner of the French and Australian opens, was taken to the hospital by ambulance, according to records. Hospital personnel this morning reported they have no one with the last name of Capriati as a current patient — although hospitals often wipe the names of famous people from public lists of patients.

“The emergency call came in as medical assistance only,” a source said. “There was no police involvement or investigation. But it was definitely a drug overdose.”

Cindy Crawford, Thursday night at the W hotel in Fort Lauderdale (Splash News/Special to Page2Live)

She’s 44, and she admits to light plastic procedures, but former supermodel Cindy Crawford still knows who to light up a red (or, here, purple) carpet. The beauty-product pitchwoman did just that Thursday night, at times with her watering-hole owner of a husband Rande Gerber, at the first anniversary of the W Fort Lauderdale.
