Marie Osmond fainted? Red Bull!


Dallas Mavs owner Mark Cuban says Marie Osmond is a fraud!

The Dallas Mavs owner and former Dancing With The Stars contestant, says Marie's dramatic faint was, as many suspected, a ploy for sympathy. The twinkle-toed American Sweetheart blamed her collapse after a strenuous rug-cutting session on allergies and smoke from California's wildfires. (I assumed it was her NutriSystem diet kicking in.)

Now we know.

Cuban told a crowd at a charity fundraiser:
Let me just say: She did not faint. She did not faint. Are you kidding me? She came [backstage] and had a Red Bull!
Red Bull? A Vegas act? Could the church be on the verge of losing a lamb (and a cash cow)?

Cuban is just made that Marie kicked his ass.

Better to talk about Marie than your team, eh? Glad that using Marie was able to get you some publicity, Mark. Too bad you showed your true colors to get it. Crude and class-less. In decades of public life, Marie's never said a bad word about any of her colleagues or competitors. Interesting comparison, I think.

Glen - just because Mark Cuban said it, doesn't mean "now we know." Sore losers aren't exactly the best sources of information.

I don't understand. How does having a red bull suggest she faked the faint? If anything, it suggests she was wiped out. Is he joking? Everyone there was terrified, especially her kids. I just don't get his point at all. Does he have some sort of other evidence? Or does he just like to insult people for the heck of it?
