A 15-year-old girl from Metro Vancouver reportedly committed suicide last night, just over a month after posting a YouTube video recounting how bullying forced her to switch schools and drove her to drugs, alcohol, and self-harm.

Good luck killing a mouse ever again, now that researchers from North Carolina have anthropomorphized them in one of the most adorable ways possible.

New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan has given a stern talking-to to Andrew Goldman, the freelance reporter who conducts front-of-the-book Q-and-A's for the New York Times Magazine. The ostensible occasion for the beat-down was a deeply misguided Twitter insult Goldman directed this week to the author Jennifer Weiner. But it was premised on the preposterous and malicious falsehood that Goldman routinely asks misogynistic questions of his female interview subjects. This is bullshit.

Officials from the fire department in Holland Township, Michigan, say a fire that left 32 apartments uninhabitable was caused by a resident burning fur off a dead squirrel using a propane torch.

For the next few weeks, we'll be evaluating many of the new fall shows as they air. After a quiet week, a few more new shows are trickling in. It seems like the networks are saving the best for last, but unfortunately, Vanessa Williams' 666 Park Avenue already premiered over a week ago.

"Look. 'Foodie' is not a word," says America's former Foodie in Chief.

Welcome to Thatz Not Okay, a regular column in which I school inquiring readers on what is and is not okay. Please send your questions to caity.weaver@gawker.com with the subject "Thatz Not Okay."

The debut single from neo-disco supergroup Shock (featuring members of Windsurf, Sorcerer, and Rubies) is kinda deliberate and kinda nasty, like the hooker sister of porn star Andrea True's "More, More, More." This is perfect sleaze.

Fast food restaurants: do you think they're "all the same?" Sure, and I guess human beings are "all the same" too, right? That's what Hitler thought, as well. For the rest of you, who know better, America's fast food establishments beseech you to take into considerations all the important factors relevant to your choice of a casual dining establishment. Once you purchase that McGriddle, there's no going back for a Croissanwich. This choice is forever.

Chances are, when Facebook goes looking for an official Instagram theme song, Fat Joe's phone will not be ringing.

Border Patrol found drugs on Nelly's tour bus? The man who rapped "light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now?"

For most of my life, I felt like I was a disappointment to my father. He never told me that I was, but it was obvious to me that I did not live up to the ideals he had in mind for his only son. I am not an athlete or a sports fan – my father has been both. He played football in high school and college, and then went on to coach the local high school football team when he and my mother moved to Ocean City, NJ, in the mid-'70s after they married. I was dressed up as a boxer for my first Halloween (just 10 days shy of my first birthday) and encouraged throughout my childhood to watch and play sports, despite my apathetic tolerance of the former and vocal disinterest in the latter. I played soccer, baseball and basketball until about 7th grade. I was terrible at all of them.

Returning to her home in Detroit's historic Boston-Edison district after a year away, Heidi Peterson was shocked to find an uninvited house guest who had apparently been squatting in her residence for several months.
