The new issue of Rolling Stone is flying off stands due to its Barack Obama cover, but inside you’ll also find Philadelphia’s favorite thieving runts, Jocelyn Kirsch and Edward Anderton. Writer Sabrina Rubin Erdely spins the long-awaited magazine version of this dirty yarn, one replete with more gossipy details about Jocelyn’s disgusting, polarizing behavior and the couple’s extravagant lifestyle built on their desire to be young jet-setters — and other people’s Social Security numbers.

Before there was Edward Anderton, there was Jayson Verdibello, a wannabe rock star who fell hard for Jocelyn Kirsch, only to have the alleged thieving minx break his heart when she boinked her eventual accomplice. Verdibello says he chose not speak out before because he was too emotional, but now he’s opened up to DN Kirsch-chronicler Regina Medina. (more…)

The silence in Drexel’s Global Ethical Issues class that follows a flighty professor’s calling out “Kirsch, Jocelyn Kirsch” during roll every Tuesday and Thursday has become comical. The students not awaiting trial on identity theft and other charges just quietly snicker to themselves without letting the professor know: “We kind of look at each other and laugh,” one would-be classmate tells Daily News Kirsch-breaker Regina Medina.

The Daily News, still keeping the Jocelyn Kirsch ball spinning as best they can, offered this short memo released by Drexel University yesterday warning students and faculty about the dangers of identity theft:

“In light of recent events and an on-going effort to ensure a safe campus and increase security awareness, the Drexel Department of Public Safety would like to remind members of the campus community to be careful in guarding against personal identity theft …”

It’s unclear if the memo included photos of Kirsch and her partner in crime, Edward Anderton, enjoying one of their globe-trotting vacations courtesy of other people’s credit cards or of Kirsch enjoying her new knockers, courtesy of her dad.

Jocelyn Kirsch’s alleged lightfingeredness and identity issues may have deep roots — all the way back to summer camp.

Drexel’s Triangle student newspaper today trumps the international press with some of the most deliciously cringeworthy accusations from former Kirsch friends and dupes that we’ve seen. One bunkmate at Camp Cheerio, a North Carolina YMCA camp where Kirsch was a counselor, claimed Kirsch had stolen “a cell phone from a co-counselor, food from the cabin and rainbow flip-flops.”

A friend from Drexel confirms that while working as a life guard at a water park, Kirsch spoke “in a South African accent … to convince the staff that she was South African.” Another claims she “had a nose job and told friends that she needed it after getting hurt pole vaulting.”

The Triangle also confirms that, as of yesterday, she still is an actively enrolled student at the university, pursuing a degree in international area studies. Explains the accent, anyway. — Tim Haas

The Jocelyn Kirsch bathtub photo unveiled to the world yesterday by the Brisbane Times shows her in an attitude of serious aquatic repose — and sporting some suspiciously dirty ankles. It also shows what appears to be the top of her left areola. Philly.com appears divided about whether the nipple-peek is family-friendly enough, having offered three different versions of it in the past two days:

Jocelyn Kirsch Fever continues this morning in the Daily News, as Regina Medina gets more ex-friends and classmates to trash the alleged scam artist and reveals the not-so-shocking news that Kirsch’s super-puffy sweater meat came courtesy of her plastic surgeon father, who lives in North Carolina.

Medina quotes a story from an anonymous friend at Drexel who says that Kirsch’s father “shipped her a package containing a pair of silicone breast implants” as a Christmas gift. Hooray for Dad. Inexplicably, the DN didn’t use this as today’s cover story, instead opting for a quadruple amputee in a wheelchair to sell their papers. For shame …

Included in the boob-gifting story are more amusing anecdotes from some of the ex-couple ex-friends, who say that even though both Kirsch and her surly-looking boyfriend, Edward Anderton,were allegedly hog-living off of other people’s money, they were incredibly stingy.

Nationally, the story continues to generate interest, as more and more information about the couple’s ridiculous scheming, conniving, and griftering are revealed.

The more national news this story generates, the less clothing Jocelyn Kirsch appears to be wearing. Take this top tub-shot photo published in this morning’s Brisbane Times. By the end of the week, expect either a full-frontal nude shot of Kirsch riding a mechanical bull or a horrifying “Two Girls, One Cup”-style video to surface.

Overall, the national coverage of this story is extraordinary. Noah Cohen, editor of Drexel’s newspaper The Triangle said that he tried to nail down an interview with one current Dragon student who claims to be an ex-hook-up of Kirsch, but the guy backed out because he “felt bad about it.” The student also told Cohen he walked away from a Good Morning America interview. Really?

Sad part is, Kirsch seems like she’ll actually benefit from this notoriety — post jail sentence, of course. Regardless of how deplorable her actions were, there’s going to be some enterprising, slimy talent agent who’ll dust her off and trot her around the tabloids and tit-rags. You don’t think Playboy has tried to contact her already? Please. Hefner’s henchmen probably helped post her bail.

Hopefully, Daily News writer Regina Medina becomes a very rich woman at the end of all of this as well. She should contact an agent and an entertainment lawyer immediately to ensure she’s paid handsomely. Enough where she can afford her own $2,200 hair extensions.
