Ol' Dirty Bastard: Rumours Galore
smckeating by Scott McKeating April 19th, 2003
News has been circulating about the return to the real world of Ol’ Dirty Bastard. Here are some confirmed details from his manager. I only pray some of them don't come to fruition.

ODB is said to be back home in the next few weeks, and will be starting recording on his LP right away. It's set to feature some big collaborations.

He'll be using one of his previous aliases, Dirt McGirt (better than his last alias I suppose; Big Baby Jesus) instead of the name tattooed on his chest, Ol' Dirty Bastard.

His manager mentions he'll be starring in a VH1 documentary called “On Parole with ODB”. I pray this is gossip.

ODB will be launching an urban clothing line, which'll include his own underwear line 'Ol' Dirty Drawers'.

The new official site at dirtmcgirt.com is now open. It'll feature exclusive live footage amongst up to the minute news flashes.

But perhaps oddest of all is the claim that ODB will be answering one letter a day from his fans until his full release, and posting the correspondence online. You can send letters via DirtMcgirt718@aol.com.
