Taylor Berman · 09/27/13 07:30AM
Thursday night, the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council agreed to a resolution that will require Syria to surrender its chemical weapons. While the resolution includes no automatic consequences if Syria fails to comply, the deal – if it's approved by the rest of the Security Council – represents a major change for the United States and President Obama, who just weeks ago seemed ready to order a military strike.

Michael J. Fox, a diminutive man with tremendous likability, is returning to primetime television in an eponymous sitcom, The Michael J. Fox Show, tonight on NBC. Even though the Emmy-winning actor has been around, in one capacity or another, since he publicly announced Parkinson's diagnosis, his appearances tend to elicit an unspoken pity from people who don't know what to expect: Uh, y'know, how's he doing? Is he OK? According to Rolling Stone cover story that just went online today, Michael J. Fox is doing very well. In fact, he seems pretty great.

Heh: Cory Booker’s not the only one sending bashful Twitter messages to Portland strippers. Lynsie Lee, the Portland-area stripper who (sort of) flirted with Newark mayor Cory Booker on Twitter, has maintained a year-long Twitter-based friendship with New York Magazine social media editor Stefan Becket (pictured above, on the right), who is almost certainly the most famous social media editor in New York City. The pair finally met in person, at a Soho bar, just two weeks before BuzzFeed reported on Lee’s private messages with Booker.

Neetzan Zimmerman · 09/26/13 05:14PMCoworkers Bail on Prof Who Will Only Teach "Serious Heterosexual Guys"
Cord Jefferson · 09/26/13 04:49PM
Yesterday we showed you David Gilmour, the University of Toronto English professor who told a female reporter that he is "not interested in teaching books by women." "What I teach is guys," Gilmour continued. "Serious heterosexual guys." Gilmour probably thought he sounded very serious and heterosexual while making this bold declaration—a real Ruff Ryder. Unfortunately, his colleagues and students are now calling him a buffoon.
