Arguing In French

This is what comes out of Googling your own name...

http://www.famouslikeme.com/36779/article.html

In this article about the erotic actress Chissy Moran, lifted form Wikipedia, it states "In October 2005 she was nominated 'Most Recognisable Adult Actress' by France's Putain magazine and subseqently appeared as a guest star on a primetime French television chat show Tout Le Monde En Parle hosted by Thierry Ardisson. During her interview (in french) she was insulted by the Irish poet Colin Dardis and proceeded to have a vicious argument with him live on air."

Curious, since I can't speak French. The original article from Wikipedia has been changed (although the Spanish verison still has it- http://wikipedia.qwika.it/en2it/Crissy_Moran), but somehow this survived. As Wikipedia is pretty much an open forum, anyone can go into an article and "amend" it. I remember about two months ago seeing the last line of the profile of Frank Mitchell, a weatherman for Ulster Television, constantly change- mostly it made a suggestion that Mitchell was homosexual. Wikipedia soon stamped this out.

Alas, I can't find a contact for whoever runs famouslikeme.com to correct this. In a way, it's quite amusing, so perhaps this oddity should be left alone...
