Paris Hilton talks to Larry King
…and starts the interview by saying she chose to talk to Larry King because:
I really respect you, and I think you’re an icon, and it’s an honour for me to be here today.
She says this like she chose Larry King as her first interview. Eh, newsflash, she didn’t chose who to talk to, it was [...]

Oh, shite.

The Spice Girls are widely expected to announce they are reforming at a press conference in London on Thursday.
It will be the first official public appearance by all five members since Geri Halliwell quit in May 1998.
And what’s the [...]

Man has headache. Turns out his wife had shot him.
Are you reading, Catherine Nevin? Only the Land of the Free could come up with a story like this.
Florida man Michael Moylan, 45, woke up at 4:30am on Tuesday morning from a stabbing headache, and thought that his wife must have elbowed him in his sleep - or, at worst, that he was feeling the [...]

Nob Nation Goes to College…

A Red Rag to the Gong-Clanging Bull
I won’t lie.

Paisley’s final words to Blair:
Prime Minister’s Questions, June 27th 2007:

So where did you meet YOUR fiancée?…
…well, you can probably be sure that no matter how weird or divine the circumstances you may have met your loved ones, you’d be doing well to beat young Ryan Fitzgerald.
