RuPaul and Milton Berle Had One of the Most Awkward MTV VMA Moments Ever

· Vice

For the tenth annual MTV Video Music Awards, which aired live on September 2, 1993, somebody came up with the idea of having veteran comedian Milton Berle present an award with RuPaul. By RuPaul’s own admission, the pairing made sense on paper, given Berle’s long history of dressing in drag. However, according to the Drag Race star’s 1995 memoir Lettin’ It All Hang Out, things got off to a rocky start between the two because Berle reportedly got a little handsy during their rehearsal, and allegedly grabbed RuPaul’s fake breasts as soon as they met.

That awkwardness pretty obviously carried over onto the stage, with Berle introducing himself and RuPaul as “Wilt and Milt,” and repeatedly making faces at RuPaul’s chest, which happened to be at eye level for him. At first, the jabs seem lighthearted and clearly scripted, like when Berle tells RuPaul, “I love that gown,” and RuPaul responds by saying, “You should, queen, it’s one of your old ones.” After Berle jokes that he wishes he’d said that, RuPaul fires back with, “Don’t worry, you will”—a nod to Berle’s reputation for stealing material. 

The 1993 MTV VMA Moment When RuPaul and Milton Berle Stopped Playing Nice

From there, Berle quips that he’s beginning to feel like a “straight man,” playing with the double meaning of the term (for those who don’t know, the straight man in a comedy duo traditionally served as the foil to the person who got all the laughs). “I don’t know about him, but me,” Berle clarifies, gesturing toward RuPaul in the process. RuPaul looked visibly uncomfortable by that point, and that’s when the ad-libbing evidently began. 

“40 years ago, when I was on TV, I used to wear gowns myself,” Berle explains. “Is that right? You used to wear gowns, and, that’s funny, now you wear diapers,” RuPaul replies, earning a mixed reaction from the audience. Berle then makes it clear to the crowd that the last line wasn’t on the teleprompter. “You wanna ad-lib? I’ll check my brains, we’ll start even,” says Berle, before making RuPaul redo the planned dialogue, which ends with him revealing that he’d stopped wearing women’s clothes because it was a drag.

Bhopal Emerges As Suspected Fake Certificate Hub, Birth And Death Documents Sold Online For ₹20

· Free Press Journal

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A suspected network generating fake birth and death certificates has surfaced in Bhopal, with BMC officials detecting at least two such certificates every week and the racket allegedly operating around the Collectorate and BMC office.

Visit bettingx.club for more information.

BMC officials said they detect at least two fake certificates on average every week, but genuine certificate holders (whose identities/details are misused) do not approach the police to lodge FIRs against the brokers.

Officials said fake certificates can reportedly be generated online for as little as Rs 20 using software that replicates the format and digital signature of BMC’s authorised certificates.

The racket came to light during an investigation into a fake passport case, after the Govindpura police approached the BMC to verify birth certificates submitted with passport applications.

A few days later, another case involving suspected fake documents surfaced when an insurance company approached the BMC to verify the death certificate of a 20-year-old woman from the Garam Gaddha area near Kishore Talkies and the railway station.

The certificate was found to be fake. Officials found that it had been generated using the same software allegedly used to create fake documents in the passport cases.

Fake portal replicates BMC digital signature

BMC officials found that the fraudulent certificates carried a replica of the registrar’s digital signature.

A comparison with the Government of India’s official portal indicated that the fake website appeared to have been professionally developed.

Officials also found that the fraudulent system did not require supporting documents and generated certificates after an online payment of just Rs 20.

Fake documents used in multiple passport applications

The probe found 30 passports linked to a single address in Dabra’s Buddha Vihar Colony and another 39 to a Math in Anna Nagar, Bhopal. Issued between 2021 and 2023, the passports carried birth certificates purportedly issued by BMC.

STF verification found the certificates were fake and absent from municipal records.

Official statement

Satyaprakash Badgaiya, registrar of the BMC Birth and Death Registration Branch, said officials frequently receive certificates that appear genuine on the surface but are exposed as fake when scanned through the official portal.

Mistakes, injuries sink Michigan State in frustrating loss to Nebraska

· Yahoo Sports

EAST LANSING – Michigan State football made too many mistakes and suffered too many injuries to have a chance in a 31-13 Week 4 loss to Nebraska at Spartan Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 26.

The Spartans lost their best player on offense (Cam Edwards, knee), their best player on defense (Jordan Hall, leg) and were playing without the top-four cornerbacks in the frustrating game vs. the Cornhuskers. They also had two fumbles (one lost) and two interceptions, not to mention multiple costly penalties.

Visit betsport.cv for more information.

At times, the Spartans looked like they belonged, but there were some bad mistakes and some bad breaks that ultimately were too much to overcome in what ended up being an ugly game.

MSU's defense, which has been decimated by injuries at cornerback and already playing without starting linebacker Brady Pretzlaff before the injury to Hall, held in the fight, producing stops on the first three drives to start the second half.

After scoring a field goal on their first drive after the break, the Spartans fumbled on their second drive and then were driving down the field on their third drive when tight end Jayden Savoury made what looked like an incredible catch to get the Spartans into prime scoring position, but the catch was ultimately overturned by a tough review.

Quarterback Alessio Milivojevic, who was under pressure all day with six Nebraska sacks, fumbled again and though it was recovered by MSU this time, the Spartans missed their 52-yard field goal attempt to come out empty handed, and the Cornhuskers cruised to a victory from there.

Next up

The Spartans return to the road to face Wisconsin next Saturday, Oct. 3 in Madison, Wisconsin (12:30 p.m./BTN). This will be the first time MSU has faced a Luke Fickell coached team since he spurned the Spartans for a chance to replace Mark Dantonio after he retired in February 2020. Fickell instead remained at Cincinnati until he took over in Madison in 2023.

The Badgers (2-1, who lost their opener to Notre Dame), opened conference play at No. 14 Penn State on Saturday concurrent with the MSU-Nebraska game. Fickell, in his fourth season at Wisconsin, entered Saturday with a 19-22 overall record and a 10-17 Big Ten record. Dantonio and MSU beat Ohio State, 10-7, in 2011 when Fickell was interim head coach after Jim Tressel's firing.
