Lindsay Lohan's Paparazzi-Induced Anxiety Attack, and Other Panics

Maureen O'Connor · 03/14/11 10:27AM

Lindsay Lohan hyperventilates and calls the paparazzi "animals." Someone is selling a sex tape of Usher. Charlie Sheen misses his son's birthday party. Britney Spears reunites with K-Fed at her son's baseball game. Monday gossip sucks and blows.

Werewolves Not As Sexy As Everyone Thought

Richard Lawson · 03/14/11 10:00AM

If we're judging sexiness by box office receipts (which we are, right?), then werewolves are certainly not the hotties that vampires are. Aliens are doing OK, though! As long as they're evil and we're shooting them, anyway.

Which Female Stars Have a Blood Feud?

Brian Moylan · 03/14/11 09:55AM

These two lady celebs have a lot in common, including their hate for each other. This star is awful to work with. This actor isn't as famous as he thinks. And this star keyed the car door of her famous boyfriend's famous ex. Another day, another feud.

New Mexico City Officials in Evil, Dumb Gun-Running Ring

Hamilton Nolan · 03/14/11 08:43AM

From the "You think your local politicians are bad..." department: the mayor, police chief, and a town councilman in the border town of Columbus, New Mexico have been arrested and charged with running an illegal gun-smuggling ring. The mayor allegedly bought dozens of pistols and stored them, and the police chief allegedly bought body armor. The Feds say that much of the material was destined for violent Mexican drug gangs that operate just across the border. Nice.

Saudi Troops in Bahrain to Suppress Protests

Jeff Neumann · 03/14/11 07:15AM

Bahrain's ruling monarchy, no longer able to contain growing protests, has called in for help from Saudi Arabia. An adviser to the Khalifa family, Nabeel al-Hamer said, "Forces from the Gulf Cooperation Council have arrived in Bahrain to maintain order and security." According to AFP, 1,000 troops from Saudi Arabia's Gulf Peninsula Shield Force entered Bahrain yesterday. This could get ugly.

Egyptian Sniper Job Hunting on LinkedIn

Jeff Neumann · 03/14/11 05:31AM

The revolution in Egypt has done a lot of good for the country and the region as a whole, but there have been some unintended consequences. For instance, what about all of the State Security officers — you know, the ones responsible for terrorizing the general public, running torture centers for decades, and even helping the CIA with its extraordinary rendition program? Suddenly they're out of work! Take former State Security Investigation System agent Hazem Ramzy. He's brandishing his skills on LinkedIn, and is "seeking a managerial position in the safety and security industry." So what are his qualifications? To name just a few:

Someone Is Setting 'Hipster Traps' in New York

Max Read · 03/14/11 12:01AM

This "hipster trap"—baited with Pabst Blue Ribbon, American Spirits, a bike chain and neon-pink Wayfarers—was photographed by Reddit user gigaface, who encountered the fauxhemian hunter in New York City. Before you object to the choices of bait, remember that having any opinion at all about hipsters or their taste preferences automatically renders you a hipster. (The trap itself, according to gigaface, is made of cardboard.) Full-sized photo below. [Reddit]

A UCLA Student's Racist Rant

Max Read · 03/13/11 10:56PM

We are shocked, shocked to discover that a self-identified UCLA student recorded a goofy racist video in which she expounds the pressing issue of UCLA students of Asian descent using the college library. Shocked! But not, obviously, offended, since she takes great pains to let us know that she's "not the most politically-correct person" and we therefore shouldn't "take this offensively." (It was good to know that, because otherwise we may have been offended by her charming rendition of an unspecified Asian language: "Ching chong ling long ting tong.") The original video has been taken down but is already all over YouTube; we've reached out to the woman identified to us as the narrator and will update if we hear back.
