This actor is spending a lot of money to be a transvestite. This NFL player is dating an actress but sleeping with actors on the side. And this comedian is such a sex fiend he's started hooking up with guys. Today's blind items should fly a rainbow flag.
American journalist Marie Colvin and French photographer Rémi Ochlik were killed early this morning in the Syrian city of Homs. Snipers reportedly loyal to President Bashar al-Assad bombarded the home, located in the Baba Amr district, where they and several other foreign journalists were staying. Sources say that at least two other journalists have been injured, including British photographer Paul Conroy.
Bill O'Reilly appeared on the Tonight Show tonight and, no surprise here, defended Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. Santorum, in O'Reilly's view, is so inexperienced that we shouldn't hold what he says against him and apparently Gingrich has had some sort of spiritual awakening which renders of all his past hypocrisies moot. The appearance was basically O'Reilly insisting that Santorum and Gingrich are viable candidates, especially as alternatives to Mitt Romney, whose name only came up once when it was uttered by Jay Leno.
As we all know, Stephen Colbert loves his Super PAC and so he was a little miffed when President Obama came out against them in the State of the Union address. But, then Obama decided to take money from one, making him the Darth Maul to Colbert's Emperor Palpatine. The Star Wars jokes never get old apparently.
Science finally caught up to last week's episode of 30 Rock on Monday, when a biologist from Emory University announced the results of research which discredit the theory that humanity is nasty (and naughty) by nature.
Virginia's Governor is about to sign a bill into law forcing women who seek an abortion to be subjected to a transvaginal ultrasound.

In a move that could potentially deprive future generations of racists their token minority friends, the Supreme Court is set to reexamine the legality of affirmative action programs this fall.
Good news for All The Single [Homeless] Ladies: the Manhattan state Supreme Court ruled today that, for the time being, unmarried homeless people do not have to prove they have no other housing options before entering a shelter.
Adolf Hitler may have fathered a son by a French teenager while serving as a soldier in World War I, according to a recent issue of France's Le Point magazine.
When your country's national musical treasure returns home to London after winning six Grammys and endearing herself to millions of bitter, cynical Americans with a single snort, it is probably in best practice to allow said treasure a fair number of seconds to bask in the moment of winning Album of the Year at her homeland's biggest music awards show. If you don't, said treasure can always flip everyone off on national television.
A group of forensic anthropologists have completed a meticulous analysis of a set of real human anatomy displays from 19C Italy. Using CT scans and other chemical analysis, the group determined that, some 200 years ago, anatomist Giovan Battista Rini "petrified" the corpses with a mercury and other heavy metals. He injected some tinctures and used others as baths. The eyes are fake. Basically, Rini was modern medicine's first "Body Worlds" guy.
Earlier today, Mitt Romney's official Twitter account linked to his wife Ann's profile on the social network everyone is talking about, Pinterest. Ann Romney is now the most famous Mormon on Pinterest—but far from the first. Pinterest is so popular with Mormons it's practically the Utah of social networks. Why? Let's investigate.
We've seen a Santorum campaign poster made out of (fake) Santorum, but this newest portrait of one of the crackpots who might be the Republican nominee for President (crazier things have happened) will get you a little bit more, um, excited. It's a picture of Rick Santorum made entirely out of gay porn.
