Eve Plumb Ups The Brady Bad Girl Ante By Dropping F-Bomb On Game Show
9:10AM Seth | When it comes to beloved TV childhood memories gone sour, it seems few shows deliver with the consistency and longevity of The Brady Bunch—more specifically, the mother’s side of the family. From little Cindy’s 8:30 a.m. hangover upchuck on live talk radio, to Marcia’s syphilis-fuelled cocaine binges at the bottom of a 40-person Playboy Mansion man-castle, it seems these lovely girls with hair of gold have seen their fair share of hard livin’.

Steven Spielberg Presents ‘Marcia Brady and the Kingdom of the Crystal Coke Spoon’
9:21AM Kyle Buchanan | After traumatising the Today audience yesterday with her delightful tale of family syphilis, former Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick took her unsettling book tour to The Morning Show with Mike & Juliet, where she opened up about cocaine (”They would call me ‘The Hoover’ because of how much cocaine I would do”) and family planning (”I was 18, 19 and 20 when I had each abortion”), then recounted a brand-new story about hitting rock bottom that was markedly different than the one she told Meredith Vieira on Tuesday. This one, you see, involved Indiana Jones: More »
Marcia Brady Traumatizes ‘Today’ Show Audiences With Syphilitic Tales Of Horror
4:20AM Seth | Maureen McCormick stopped by The Today Show this morning in support of her new autobiography, Here’s the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice. We were prepared to settle in for the old former-child-star song n’ dance: the typecasting, the self-loathing, the drug binging, the weight-loss reality show comebacks. What we weren’t quite ready for was the McCormick Family Ugly Secret, which the actress reveals without a much-needed warning to first shoo your children out of the room: Syphilis, you see, destroyed her family.

A Very Brady Bitchfight
9:13AM Molly Friedman | It’s always fun when a Shiny Happy People show like Full House, The Partridge Family or The Brady Bunch is unveiled as a breeding ground for future meth addicts, domestic abusers, and on-screen mother/son duos still bitchily feuding decades after their stars have burnt out. And the Brady cast is by far the most over-achieving bunch of fuck-ups to efficiently destroy any warm and fuzzy associations we may have had with that humorless bundle of 70s saccharine. Following Jan and Marsha’s fictional sibling rivalry leading to a non-fictional lesbian porn, little Cindy Brady showed up to a radio interview last week reeking of vintage wine and memories, excusing herself to vomit during commercial breaks. And now, reality trainwreck Christopher “Peter” Knight has taken down the last remaining beacon of Brady light, Florence Henderson, by involving the (until now) scandal-free actress in a messy online war of words:
Youngest ‘Brady Bunch’ Daughter Goes From Curls to Hurls In Doomed Radio Chat
2:20AM Defamer Hollywood | What started out as a holiday-weekend news curio exploded yesterday when CNN uncorked what may be its most important news package of the year: Coverage of a very hungover Susan Olsen — the actress who played little Cindy Brady on The Brady Bunch — fleeing a radio interview to throw up. But this isn’t just any Z-list scandal; this is shaping up as perhaps the most shattering gastric crisis in the long history of Pueblo, Colorado. “It was Cindy Brady!” the radio host cries out. “At 8:30 in the morning! What happened?” Indeed — especially with the ex-star’s “mildly autistic” 10-year-old son with her in the studio (”Watch her drink like a pig!” Fox News reports he “interjected”) and an unrepentant Olsen excusing the episode with a shrug: “That’s how kids learn!” More »
No Non-Alice Lesbianism Behind The ‘Brady’ Scenes: Publisher
8:00AM Defamer Hollywood | Generations of Brady Bunch fans were shocked to learn of the Marcia/Jan lesbian teen romp rumours that set the internets ablaze on Friday, finding it difficult to envision Marcia combing the back of her mullet 100 times before engaging her sister in a vigorous tribbing session beneath a faded Billie Jean King poster. It promised to be the most unforgettable chapter of Here’s the Story, Maureen McCormick’s upcoming memoir – and one the publisher doesn’t remember reading: The book publisher for Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia Brady on the 1970s sitcom “The Brady Bunch,” is shooting down rumours that she had a lesbian on-set affair with co-star Eve Plumb, who played her younger sister Jan.
