The Winner! Yes, we can now remove that question mark.
Hillary Clinton has stated she will announce her withdrawal
from the race Saturday, ending her bid for the Democratic
nomination for president. She will fully back Barack Obama.
Will her name also appear on the ticket? We'll have to wait
for that answer. Earlier in the week, she said she would
consider running as Obama's Vice President, but Obama
has indicated he wants to take his time to make this
decision. Regardless, history has been made in America.

Little Rascal Rascal Flatts' Joe Don Rooney and his Playmate
wife, Tiffany Fallon, welcomed their first child into the world
Saturday. The couple named him "Jagger Donovan Rooney."
There's plenty of room for catchy nicknames, like Jaggarooney
or Jagrooney. If he carries the tradition of his father, perhaps
he'll be known as "Jag Don." Whatever the case, congrats to
Joe Don and Tiffany - here's to happiness and health!

SPLASHDOWN! Lord Stanley returns to Hockeytown
with the Red Wings' 3-2 victory over the Penguins
Wednesday night. It was a hard-fought battle after
nearly wrapping up the series on home ice the night
before, until a last-minute goal from the Pens sent
the game into OT and ended in a Detroit loss. The
Red Wings had to travel to Pittsburgh to secure the
championship and earn the honor of drinking from
the coveted Stanley Cup. Ah, the sweet taste of victory!
Congrats to both teams for a great season.

AP vs. ET The bloody battle between the Associated Press and Entertainment
Tonight has moved to the next round. Center of the controversy is ET's recent
report from an "inside source" that Angelina Jolie had delivered her twins. The
AP picked up ET's story and ran with it. It was clear within hours the story was a
hoax. Virtually every other news source across the globe seemed to know it. AP
blamed ET for getting it wrong and harshly criticized ET publicly; overlooking the
fact that AP failed to confirm the story itself before printing it. Until today, ET had
stood behind the story and said that someone acting as an impostor for Angie's
assistant was feeding false info to the media; implying they may have been the
only ones who got it right. Today, the AP claims they have confirmed the impostor
story, but ET was the one duped, and Angie's real assistant told ET the story was
false several hours before they aired it on TV. Read the AP story. This really just
proves how bad AP's decision was rely on ET's story. A trusted hard-news
agency should never just take the word of a gossip organization. We expect ET to
get it wrong, as they often do. We expect AP to dig deeper and get it right. Geez,
even we suspected foul play and immediately posted a warning to not believe
the story. If we can get it right, the esteemed Associated Press has no excuse.

RESPECT Years ago, many athletes were not allowed
to play Major League Baseball, simply because of the
color of their skin. Times have changed, and these
players have been honored in many ways, but they were
still called members of the "Negro Leagues," which still
separated them from the Majors. Thanks a brilliant idea
from Dave Winfield, this has been corrected. Surviving
members have been drafted by Major League teams,
giving them respect they deserve and were denied when they played. Bobo
Henderson called Dave Winfield "an angel," beaming pride over becoming a
major leaguer just before his 78th birthday. Emilio Navarro (pictured) saw his
dream of becoming a Yankee come true at the age of 102. Read the full article
about more players who are being honored, including one woman. We applaud
Dave Winfield and MLB for righting an old wrong. Standing ovation!

Dominated Dominik Hasek, one of NHL's most decorated and

for good. It's a bittersweet ending for Hasek, hoisting the Stanley
Cup again in his last season with the victorious Red Wings; but he
mostly watched from a distance as Chris Osgood played in his
place at the net. At 43, with two Stanley Cup wins and dream stats,
"The Dominator" has earned a new nickname - "Legend."

| Hummer Jumper Robbie Knievel jumped 21 Hummers at the Texas Motor Speedway Saturday night. When his father, legendary Evel Knievel, performed stunts back in the day, he broke TV viewership records. Not so much these days. Robbie has quietly surpassed many of his father's records, but the spotlight today just isn't as bright. Still quite a feat! |
A Wonder Lynda Carter, star of 1970's show Wonder Woman,
and every growing boy's fantasy, was leisurely rowing down the
Potomac River last week and discovered a body. Lynda asked
fisherman on the shore to call police while she waited with the
corpse. Washington Post reports the woman was part of the
Johnstone family, owners of the J/Boats sailboat company,
and police suspect suicide. Lynda said she didn't do anything
special; she just did what anyone would have done. She also
could have been the inspiration of the Wonder Bra!

They've teamed up to sell video clips online for $1.99 a pop to anyone who gives a rat's backside what these two think about politics or their trysts with Clinton. Classy. How would they react if Bill Clinton offered up the same service dishing dirt on them? There would be likely be name-calling and lawsuits. |
| Nashville Star Fizzles, Fibs Nashville Star made its debut last night on NBC with few surprises - Billy Ray is no Ryan, Jewel had a Paula moment telling a young contestant to "murder" the audience, Jeffrey Steele didn't call anyone a "dawg," John Rich was rude but lacked Simon's charisma, and the talent was, for the most part, dull. But like Idol, we did catch them in a fib. Shawn Mayer (r) was shown on a pig farm and as a volunteer firefighter in Iowa, where she cried about wanting to be a singer. It left us with the impression the show was rescuing her from the farm for her first big break. They didn't mention she's been living in Nashville for the past several months performing a regular gig at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge - a famous club where country stars like John Rich (yes, the judge) are known to hang out. |
| Billy Bob Thornton's New CD has just been released. Billy Bob, under the name W.R. "Bud" Thornton, and his band, the Boxmasters, have included original tunes and some interesting covers with an old country/rockabilly sound added. Check out their site to hear a sample. |
| A Kiss Goodbye Giant's QB sack leader Michael Strahan announced his decision to retire yesterday after 15 years in the NFL. He told Fox Sports he spent a lot of time thinking about it and finally said, "It's time. I'm done." The charismatic Strahan, also known for his enormous gap-toothed smile in commercials, leaves the game solidly on top. His last game was a Super Bowl win. Miachel Strahan is surely destined for the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. As a leader on and off the field, the man with the big smile and big heart has proven he is a true Giant. |

| Hei and Mighty Katherine Heigl may be biting the hand that feeds her. She won an Emmy last year for her role as "Izzy" but refused to submit her name this year for the award. She said Grey's Anatomy did not give her Emmy-worthy material, and submitting her name might take an opportunity away from someone more deserving. Noble? Not hardly. It's a slap in the face to the show's writers. It also pokes at the intelligence of Emmy voters, implying they are unable to make a fair choice. The category is for acting, not writing. If she doesn't deserve to win, she won't. Two words come to mind: Prima Donna. |

American Pavarotti? America's Got Talent struck gold as
Neal E. Boyd wowed the crowd and the judges singing
opera with his remarkable tenor voice. There is no doubt
he has talent and deserves his place in the spotlight. But
once again, a talent show has tried to make us believe
they found raw, undiscovered talent and put someone on
a stage for the first time. There was no mention of his (r)

He is a polished singer. More about Neal In the wake of Idol's Carly Smithson
debacle, talent shows should have learned a lesson; but Nashville Star is doing
the same with Shawn Mayer. They implied they plucked her off the pig farm,
when in fact she's been singing a regular gig at Tootsie's in Nashville for several
months. Yes, people love rags-to-riches stories, but that doesn't mean we can
appreciate someone's talent otherwise. Just be honest about it. Most of us don't
care if Neal has performed at Carnegie Hall. He had us from "Nessun." Bravo!
Neal E. Boyd wowed the crowd and the judges singing
opera with his remarkable tenor voice. There is no doubt
he has talent and deserves his place in the spotlight. But
once again, a talent show has tried to make us believe
they found raw, undiscovered talent and put someone on
a stage for the first time. There was no mention of his (r)
performance at Carnegie Hall, or his nickname "The Voice
of Missouri," which he earned performing at many important events in the state.

Thanks, Grandma Prince William was made the 1000th Royal
Knight of the Garter by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
The Most Noble Order of the Garter is the world's oldest order
of chivalry, dating from 1348. In Monday's ceremony, filled with
royal pomp, William was draped in enough velvet to make
George Costanza jealous with white ostrich plumes in his
velvet hat. Prince Harry, who prefers camouflage to velvet, was
in attendance along with William's long-time girlfriend, Kate
Middleton; and their royal ribbing was probably the reason for
this grimace on William's face - click here and see why!

| Martianmallow NASA's Phoenix robot has scraped the surface of the red planet and found white stuff. Is it ice? Salt? It was found in the trench they call "Snow White," in the area of Mars they call "Wonderland." Those nutty kids at NASA. Visit NASA UPDATE: After it was exposed, the substance disappeared, so it's not salt; but when it was heated it didn't make water. Hmm. |
| Little Mama Jamie Lynn Spears has given birth to a baby girl. If the reports are right (and who knows, these day) she named her daughter "Maddie Briann." Could she have named the baby after her famous aunt, "Mad Britney?" We're guessing this is why Brit and her father postponed their court date on finances. They were likely with Jamie in Mississippi for the big arrival. Here's to health and happiness for all. |
WIPPED John McCain has promised if he is elected
president, he will increase the number of nuclear
power plants by nearly double (read more) to make
environmentally-friendly energy. This is like trying to
cut down on ground dumping by throwing waste in
the rivers. Nuclear plants do produce cleaner energy,
but the waste they generate is the nastiest stuff on
earth, and there is NO WAY to make it clean. The debate over what to do with this
radioactive waste has quietly raged for decades. The truth is, no one knows what
to do with it, so we've created places where we can just stick it far enough in the
ground where it won't hurt us until we figure out what to do with it, or it starts to
decay in about 10,000 years. The danger is so extreme, the Dept. of Energy has
ordered these areas be marked in a way that people or aliens of the future who
find these sites will understand. WIPP is a nuclear waste site near Carlsbad,
NM. Click here to see what the experts have come up for WIPP's 10,000 year
warning. I worked in this field for years. THIS IS NOT A JOKE. -Sam

George Would Be Proud Ironically, as news of George Carlin's death sweeps
the nation, another story about the FCC is making news. All four major television
networks have joined forces to take on FCC obscenity rules, stemming from a
$1.2 million fine imposed in 2003 on ABC for showing a woman's bare butt on
NYPD Blue. ABC paid the fine but appealed it, claiming the FCC's action was
"arbitrary, capricious and contrary to the law." In a nearly unprecedented show of
unity amongst normally bitter rivals, NBC, Fox, CBS and Telemundo have filed
legal briefs in support of ABC, denouncing the FCC fine as unconstitutional. The
United States Supreme Court has a tendency to agree and has overturned bans
on free speech where technology provides a way for individuals to control it
themselves; like with a V-Chip or channel blocking. The FCC is digging in for a
fight. (Full story) If it goes to the U.S. Supreme Court, the FCC will likely lose, and
we just might hear the laughter of George Carlin echoing from beyond the grave.

because his scandals were affecting her career. Good
move. He was arrested this week for swindling millions
from people, claiming he could use his connections with
the Vatican to buy Catholic Church properties below

lavish lifestyle, and the Vatican doesn't know who he is.
FULL STORY He is also being investigated for a foundation that supposedly

puff at a recent concert. He was in the middle of performing his

called for security, but quickly decided to take matters into his
own hands, grabbing the guy by the shirt and yanking him
around until help arrived. The country stud then pulled the
guy onstage and shoved him. The man turned back toward Tim
with a clinched fist, and Tim lunged at him, but security took the
guy away. Faith Hill must still be panting. See the video.

This year it was Crystle Stewart, Miss Texas-turned Miss USA,
who slipped on her dress and plopped to the floor. Click here to
launch video of her interview with the Today Show, complete with
footage of both bobbling beauty queens.
| No Joke The latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, shattered box office records during its opening weekend. Just before Heath Ledger died earlier this year of an accidental overdose, he revealed in an interview he could not get the Joker out of his mind. He lost sleep over it. In a strangely sad twist, this role could earn Heath an Oscar and become his legacy. |
| Batman Arrested Christian Bale, who plays Batman in the box office smash hit The Dark Knight, has been arrested in London. A British tabloid is reporting the arrest stems from allegations of assault from Bale's mother and sister. Full batty story. UPDATE: It now appears mom and sis are estranged from the star, and this may have been a shameful shakedown. |

Favre Fury We watched Brett retire with tears in his

did, but now he's got "the itch." Green Bay is a town

needed a decision so they could plan for the future.
On the other hand, you have a football legend who
may have just felt unwanted. Now dignity hangs in

| Dog House UPDATE: Shia LaBeouf, Mutt Williams of Indiana Jones, was cleared of blame after police found the other driver failed to stop at a light, causing the crash that rolled Shia's truck. MORE The crash resulted in slight injuries to the other driver and Shia's mystery passenger, rumored to be Transformers 2 co-star Isabel Lucas. Shia injured his knee, suffered a minor head injury and had to have surgery on his hand. He might face DUI charges when toxicology reports are final. This would be the most serious offense of the young star after a series of petty brushes with the law. |

LA Rumbles A 5.4 earthquake struck the Los Angeles area Tuesday.
No serious damage or injuries were reported, but it did awaken talk

Town. This one was moderate, but it was enough to send
Judge Judy running for cover during a taping of her show!

Gators Rule as Party School Princeton Review's annual list of party
schools has been revealed, and a new school holds the top spot.
The University of Florida has been named the #1 party school in
the country. The Gators are no stranger to the list, but this is
the first time they have taken the title. It's enough to drive other
campuses to drink. Just put down your beer when you Gator clap,
please. See where your school ranks.

Montauk Monster Mystery What the heck is this?
Photos are circulating across the Internet of this strange

over what it could be - anything from a turtle to a dog to
an alien. We defer to our favorite reporter of all things
odd, CNN's Jeanne Moos. Check out her video story.

| Oh, God! Hollywood's voice of God, Morgan Freeman, is in a Memphis hospital after being airlifted from the scene of a single-car crash near Ruleville, Mississippi, late Sunday night. The 71-year-old Oscar winner was reportedly awake and talking at the scene but suffered some broken bones. The jaws of life had to be used to extricate Morgan and his female passenger from the vehicle after it left the road, went airborne and flipped several times. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Baby, Baby! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have the most
famous twins on Earth, and now the world can see them,
courtesy of People Magazine. In Monday's issue, 19 pages
are dedicated to the doting parents. Most babies don't smile
at just three weeks old, so we're guessing this little tyke has
a bad case of gas; but WOW does that smile look like
Brad's! Now we know what Brad looks like when he has the
same problem. People is putting the pictures only in the
print version of the magazine, but for more details about
Brad and Angie's babies, check out People online.

| In Mourning Comedian Bernie Mac died Friday in a Chicago hospital of pneumonia at the age of 50. Legendary soul singer Isaac Hayes died Sunday after being found unconscious near a running treadmill in his Memphis home. He was 65; his cause of death has not been released. Ironically, both men appear in the upcoming film Soul Man, scheduled for release November 14. Bernie Mac and Samuel L. Jackson star as Stax-era singers, and Isaac Hayes plays himself. |
| Under Fire Ben Stiller's new movie Tropic Thunder is being criticized by advocacy groups that are offended by its repeated use of the word "retard" picketed Monday's premiere in L.A. DreamWorks has issued a statement that the movie is intended to satirize Hollywood excesses with inappropriate behavior and over-the-top, ridiculous situations. The movie pokes fun at how far actors will go for a role. For example, Robert Downey, Jr., plays a white actor who undergoes a medical procedure to turn black for a role. Website and trailer |
Not Cute Enough?
The sweet voice that mesmerized the world during the
opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics was not that
of the little girl who appeared to be singing on TV. In yet
another case of Beijing Olympic trickery, a Chinese
official deemed the little girl who had been chosen to sing
(top) was not cute enough to be put on the world stage to
represent China. However, it was decided she had the
best voice. At the last minute, she was replaced with the
"cuter" girl we saw (bottom), who lip-synched to the voice
of the real singer. To make matters worse, there are now
reports surfacing that suggest the replacement girl might
not have even known her voice wasn't being aired.
China's "Milli Vanilli" decision has sent shock waves
across the world, even in China. We accepted the excuse
of using computer graphics fireworks for safety, but this is
intolerable. Who couldn't love either face?
