Cast your eyes inland, to the once prim-and-proper Philadelphia, where a scandal-dogged local weatherman is in trouble once more. Back in 2010, John Bolaris was drugged by a couple of Miami bombshells and woke up to more than $43,000 in credit card charges. (The ongoing trial is kicking up even more embarrassing details, like the fact Mr. Bolaris is reported to have “shit himself.”)
Well, last month, he got engaged to his girlfriend, former Playboy model Erica Smitheman–on the Howard Stern Show. Now the Daily News reports that on Sunday, as Mr. Bolaris slept, Ms. Smitheman staged a takeover of his Twitter account and teased his 12,890 fans with the promise of nude pics (which never materialized).
Never a dull moment in the City of Brotherly Love!
The Daily News says:
John Bolaris, who was suspended from his job as a weather anchor for Fox affiliate WTXF in Philadelphia last year amid the bombshell story that he’d been drugged and robbed by beautiful women in Miami in 2010, was back in the headlines on Tuesday after fiancé Erica Smitheman drunkenly took over his Twitter account and repeatedly promised to post nude pictures of herself.
With all due respect to the profession of meteorology, these must be the most interesting updates ever tweeted out from this account:
Hello this is Erica …love John , he loves you all,I guess it’s ok if I send you all a naked photo or two..don’t tell my love

Reached for comment by Philly.com, Ms. Smitheman explained: “I am drinkinking and can’t take the haters! Lol.” Nobody likes a hater.
By Sunday, Mr. Bolaris had regained the helm:
Obviously my fiance had a little party on Twitter last night, she has been by my side through everything, I love her,Hmm interesting tweets)

Dude just can’t catch a break (except for the part where his fiance is a former Playboy model).
