Which Actress Got Written Out of Her Show for Bad Behavior?

Brian Moylan · 09/27/11 09:59AM

This actress insisted writers change her story line, they did and cut her character altogether. This celebrity couple's divorce is hard on the kids and this couple is having a hard time with a three-way. Looks like someone needs to be written out of that relationship.

Most College Students Are Part Time, and None of Them Graduate

Hamilton Nolan · 09/27/11 09:27AM

Since everyone in America aged 17-29 smartly decided to "wait out the recession" by enrolling in college—a magical fantasy land which temporarily makes your lack of purpose in life disappear—it stands to reason that college graduation rates would also be rising, right? All those motivated young go-getters just raring to acquire skills with which to grab the world by the throat, and eat it? Right? No.

Theater Professor's Firefly Poster Declared Threatening

Lauri Apple · 09/27/11 08:04AM

The campus police at the University of Wisconsin-Stout deserve praise, bravery medals, and $100 gift certificates to their favorite steakhouse for ripping down theater professor James Miller's Firefly poster before it could murder any students. Oh wait—not praise and etc., but ridicule.

Ice Cream Cone Mascot Mistaken for a KKK Member

Lauri Apple · 09/27/11 06:05AM

An ice cream shop in Ocala, Florida thought it would be a clever marketing tactic to have an employee dress up as an ice cream cone and stand out in the parking lot with a sign advertising their goods. Little did they know!

Man and His Machine Make the Ultimate Cosby Sweater

Lauri Apple · 09/27/11 04:26AM

Artist Andrew Salomone has used his hacked knitting machine—an electronic little number that operates similarly to a desktop printer—to create self-portrait face masks, soundwave scarves, and other garments inspired by the Jaclyn Smith Style Collection pop culture and technology. But his piece de resistance is the recursive Bill Cosby sweater, which Salomone (rhymes with "alimony") hopes will one day adorn the real-life, sartorially splendid Bill Cosby. Such an occurrence would not only complete the sweater's pattern but also cause geomagnetic reversal. [YouTube via Buzzfeed]

Patti Stanger Is a Lying Liar

Matt Cherette · 09/27/11 03:15AM

Following Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger's appearance alongside Andy Cohen on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live Sunday night, we posted a video of her reinforcing negative stereotypes of gay men with stupid statements disguised as dating advice.

Stephen Colbert Salutes Google for Spreading Santorum

Matt Cherette · 09/27/11 03:08AM

Before Radiohead took the reins on tonight's Report, Stephen Colbert made sure to get in a few words about just how smitten he is with Google for its recent one-two punch of anarchy—first, by denying Rick Santorum's request to wipe his Santorum from its results page, and then by sending feisty chairman Eric Schmidt into a Senate panel investigating allegations the company practiced search discrimination against certain competitors.

Watch Canada Give Dick Cheney a War Criminal's Welcome

Seth Abramovitch · 09/27/11 02:36AM

Dick Cheney's historical revision, In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir, was the latest selection at an author lecture series in Vancouver on Monday. In honor of this rare visit from Bush's bionic henchman, a large crowd of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver Club. They grew increasingly unruly as the day went on (watch the protest grow in the above video), shouting down and blocking the entrance to guests who'd paid $500 for the privilege of hearing Cheney speak.

Cemetery Worker Robs Grave of Fender Telecaster

Seth Abramovitch · 09/27/11 01:53AM

Rock n' roll grave robber Steven Conard, a 39-year-old grounds worker at the Allouez Catholic Cemetery in Wisconsin, was placed under arrest on Saturday and charged with "felony theft from person or corpse." Confronted at his home, Conard had confessed to removing a Fender Telecaster from the coffin of Randall Jourdan, a beloved father and grandfather who for years told everyone he knew that his dying wish was to be buried with the "pride and joy" guitar he'd played for over 40 years.

Obama Heckled by Jesus' Agent

Seth Abramovitch · 09/27/11 01:20AM

Here's some unsettling footage of Barack Obama addressing a group of supporters at the House of Blues on L.A.'s Sunset Strip on Monday night. During the president's remarks, an unseen man approaches the stage, and proceeds to shout at the top of his lungs...

Doritos Inventor to be Buried with Doritos

Seth Abramovitch · 09/27/11 12:39AM

Snacking on Doritos is typically discouraged at funerals, as the loud crunch of the popular junk food tends to drown out heartfelt eulogies and generally detract from the somber mood of the occasion. But this will not be the case at Arch West's funeral, the former Frito-Lay marketing executive credited with first pitching the company with the idea of producing a seasoned, mass-market tortilla chip back in 1961. (He did not invent the tortilla chip itself, mind you — credit for that goes to Rebecca Carranza, who accidentally created them after she inherited a malfunctioning tortilla machine in Los Angeles in the late 1940s.)

Jon Stewart to Republicans: 'Take a Long, Hard Look in the Mirror'

Matt Cherette · 09/26/11 11:16PM

Rick Perry's dismal performance at last week's GOP debate has many people doubting his ability to secure the Republican nomination for president in 2012. Republicans losing interest in Perry aren't shifting their support to Mitt Romney. In the last few days, there's been renewed interest in having New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie waddle into the race. We wondered today whether Christie could even survive a Republican primary, and as you'll see in this clip from tonight's Daily Show, Jon Stewart isn't too high on his chances either.

Beware the Uniboob

Max Read · 09/26/11 10:52PM

Here's a plastic-surgery protip: Before you go under the knife for a breast implant repaire, make sure you've made it clear with your surgeon that you want to stick with the pair, instead of the combination "uniboob."

Nancy Grace Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction on DWTS

Matt Cherette · 09/26/11 09:08PM

From Tit Mom to Nip Mom! After proudly debuting her giant boobs on last week's Dancing with the Stars premiere, Nancy Grace took things to a whole new level on tonight's live program when one of the "three-year-old twins" came out to play at the conclusion of her quickstep routine. Here's the slightly NSFW video.

Maureen O'Connor · 09/26/11 06:51PM

Behold, a play date that will make a thousand social-climbing mommies seethe with envy: Angelina Jolie brought her brood to Gwen Stefani's London home today, for a play date and dinner. Looks like Kingston and Shiloh got into one of their moms' makeup kits?
