Still more signs of a limp, flaccid economy.
Jewel yodels her way down the aisle. Ah, Jewel… remember this? Priceless.
Kanye: Egomaniac, psychotic blogger, media mogul, defender of the Gays.

Part 3: Andy responds. Ah, SNAP!
C’mon. Is this yawn-worthy report of Winehouse-induced yawns only an across-the-pond yawn? [Yawn.]
First Diddy pimps a booze, now Dre (to coincide with his Detox album, natch). Who’s next? Amy Winehouse? Yawn.

Gross and grosser: Sly’s bulging… veins. Ewwww.
We’re Number One! USA! USA! USA!

Effects technician. Ledger. Bale. Now Freeman. Coinkidink? Or The Curse of the Batman?
Richard Simmons’ return to Letterman’s guest chair. Cue through-the-nostril-spewing hilarity.

Um kay, Pammy. You go right on ahead there and “build” you a hotel. An eco-friendly one. In Abu Dhabi. It totally took you long enough.
Xenu’s real pissed, and Tom’s lawyers have already been retained.
