Short Ends: The Purloined Slippers

· Is there any way to write a joke about the disappearance of Judy Garland's ruby slippers without getting an angry letter from Bert Fields?
· Voters in a survey by a British supermarket have determined that Eva Longoria is the "sexiest TV star of all time," forgetting, perhaps, that the telly wasn't invented last week.
· The Crime Spree blog offers its own version of the "Downey, Spader and Chateau" joke. We approve.
· The Hilarious Bitches™ of Fug undress the fashion abominations of the VMAs. Lohan's leopard dress seems to have passed muster, but Kirsten Dunst may never wear clothes again.
· If we all pray hard enough, do you think that Chris Farley's star on the Walk of Fame will get up in the middle of the night and take a dump on Ryan Seacrest's?
