Did Angie Pop or Not?
"Entertainment Tonight" said the Oscar-winning actress had given birth to the twins in France...A short time later People magazine disputed the ET story, quoting an unnamed representative for Jolie on its Web site as saying: "Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France."
Another celebrity publication, Britain's NOW magazine, then reported the latest additions to the Jolie-Pitt clan had already been named Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane.

Clogged in Space
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida - As the countdown for Saturday's launch of space shuttle Discovery began on Wednesday, a key part for the International Space Station -- a new pump for the toilet -- was en route from Russia, NASA officials said.
The station's sole toilet has been causing headaches for the past week. The 29-pound (13-kg) pump is coming under diplomatic pouch from Russia.
How it works:
The toilet is operated by air pressure. A fan does the work that gravity does on the ground. Urine is sucked inside the toilet and is collected in a 20-liter container. When these are full they are discarded in the Progress. For collecting solid waste the toilet has plastic bags you place inside, and air is sucked through tiny holes in the bag. Everything gets collected in the bag (hopefully) and the bags self-close with an elastic string around the opening. You then push the closed bag through a hole into an aluminum container, and put a new bag in place for the next person.

Harvey Korman has Died
LOS ANGELES — Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to "The Carol Burnett Show" and on the big screen in "Blazing Saddles" (above), died after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago. He was 81.

Condi Rice is a Fraud
Ms. Rice said, "I am not going to comment on a book that I haven't read," referring to McClellan's scathing memoir, proving that she speaks without collecting facts or even reading that which she is criticizing (remember that famous memo she conveniently never read?) suggesting what most of us assume is true...that she will protect George W. Bush at any cost, presumably for some twisted personal gain...

America's Most Wanted
A November 15, 2005, editorial in the New York Times asked: "...if it's "obvious that the Bush administration misled Americans" in taking them to a war that tens of thousands of people have paid for with their lives, now what? No punishment? If not, under what theory?"
No concrete steps have been taken (except for Vermont) to charge Bush and Cheney, et al for the crimes they have committed. Is it because so many in Congress are arguably complicit? No stomach for another impeachment process? Yes, it appears we are going to let the mass murderer walk away from the crime with blood on his hands and his pension intact. It calls into question the character of the American public, that we will ignore this moral outrage and, what? Forget about it? I guess George W. Bush is the president we deserved.

The Dirtiest Girl in Porn gets Press
Excerpt:
I got chatting to the "dirtiest girl in porn", a relentlessly upbeat American called Belladonna.
You don't win a title like "the dirtiest girl in porn" without being, err, extremely flexible.
What she can do with a baseball bat would hit you out of the park.
My eyes kept wandering over her gap-toothed smile and thick makeup, while my inner prude kept screaming at me: "This girl has slept with more blokes than you've ever met in your entire life".
It was disconcerting, because she was so natural, easy, friendly and upfront about what she did.
She was the kinda girl you'd love to have a beer with.

The Little Man Defense
Mr. Kelly, currently standing trial on child pornography charges, saw his lawyer argue to the court that a video showing him allegedly engaging in a sex act with an underage girl may have been tampered with using computer graphics.
During the defense’s cross examination of the victim’s friend, Kelly's lawyer asked the witness if she had seen the film 'Little Man'.
He said: “They put the head of Marlon Wayans on a midget and it looked real, didn’t it?” the witness replied “Not really!”, causing the courtroom to erupt into laughter.more HERE

Television Premiere of 'Living Lohan'
The picture above is Nana Lohan...she's totally FINE...However, the show appears to be about Dina Lohan's obsession with seeing her name splattered on blogs and TMZ.com.
When she does, she threatens them...whoo hoo!
Her personal assistant's job appears to be hunting for references to the Lohan's name throughout media every morning so Dina can rant about them.
The look on the assistants' face is priceless...it's the "I GET PAID FOR THIS...?" look...
Lindsay isn't on the show but she's mentioned a gazillion times, she's called on the phone and pictures of her appear frequently...DUH!
The show is produced by the guys who own the Palms' Hotel in Vegas and while it's shot on the east coast they seem to get plenty of Vegas product placement...hummm...
PS: It's really hard to say which is worse, but the Denise Richards' SHOW?...OMG! ...it's all about pot belly pigs screwing and Denise wanting to be a WHORE...
The crews working these gigs must be asking themselves, "...why am I doing THIS instead of REAL TV...again...?" about 10,000 times a day...
