Show drops guest who made Christ claims

THE Irish American writer who claims to be the knock-on result of a roll in the hay between Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene has been dropped from tonight’s Late Late Show because the topic is too hot for Irish audiences.

Kathleen McGowan, the 40-something novelist and self-proclaimed descendant of a union between Jesus and Mary Magdalene claims to be the walking, talking, living proof of the “sacred bloodline” made famous in his mega-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code.

Among her believers are the editors at New York publisher Simon & Schuster, who have thrown their weight behind her recently published autobiographical religious thriller The Expected One, which had a first print run of 250,000 copies.
