Mickey "The Mouth" Calhoun is a fast-talking, quip-delivering, gossip-serving, Hollywood-insulting son of a bitch. He's so deliciously unlikable! If only they knew the truth…
Origin Story
Whenever Mr. Calhoun mentions his birthplace, it's with a note of derision. Since he refers to everything with a note of derision, this may not actually mean anything, but it's also likely not a very remarkable place. The occasional joke about cows is as false as his occasional attempt to claim he was born straight from the hell-hole of Hollywood itself— a construct of its own leering self-hatred only as strong as its massively back-patting ego. The point is being: he's never pinpointed his exact place of birth, and is unlikely to going forward.
What the world is more concerned with is not when he gave his first birth, but the first birth of gossip. Which, according to internet myth, may have been the exact same moment.
Reports
The Mouth Piece
The Mouth Piece… is Mickey's platform, a pseudo-news station that's made to appear mostly viral, in order to not appear overly commercial. Because that would be selling out. And everybody knows nobody worth anything sells out in Hollywood. Ever. That never happens. That is definitely not the theme of the place. Money does not dictate action here.
