If you had one question to ask the Harvard Humanist Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Stephen Fry, what would it be?

Time to check in with an old friend: Jason Hope—the Arizona entrepreneur whose $500,000 Christmas party made him the "Party King of Scottsdale" and ignited fake-baked nightlife warfare—is getting sued. Verizon Wireless has launched a legal battle against 26 people and companies they say are fleecing consumers with "premium messaging services," i.e., when your grandma gets a spam text message that enters her into an automatic billing cycle without her consent. Verizon says Hope is "the mastermind behind defendants' fraudulent and deceptive practices."

On Monday we learned about a curious new venture from Premiere Radio Networks that offers radio shows "voice talent to take/make your on-air calls"—in other words, fake talk-radio callers.

After being inspired by—what else—a viral video, Daniel Tosh got his staff together for a gigantic wheelbarrow race. Being that the chain was mainly full of men, the biggest complaint about the process was "the smell of balls."

Gwyneth Paltrow signed a $900K record deal yesterday. Exciting, right? You've been praying for her to cut an album ever since you saw her in Duets. And she's back on Glee! All of your dreams are coming true!

Columnist David Broder, who held top reporting positions and then an opinion slot at the Washington Post for so long that he'd been called "dean of the Washington press corps" for 50 years, died at 81 today of complications from diabetes.

This morning, KLG and Hoda took a little time to reflect on the power of breasts—and the effect they have on the career of an actress. Just wait until Kathie Lee mentions how Kim Kardashian is "milking it."

The GOOP mistress herself, Gwyneth Paltrow, returned to reprise her role as substitute teacher Holly Holiday and she taught everyone about how to get dirty. Gwynnie isn't my idea of a sexy, but this was another successful appearance.

Here in recession recovery-plagued America, we're so discombobulated we don't know up from down or right from wrong. Are we hypocrites? Schizophrenics? Or just victims of Stockholm Syndrome? On the one hand, we have no faith in our government:

This guy was caught on a subway train putting what appears to be his pet rat in his mouth. Because that's a completely normal place for a rat to go.

Armed robbery doesn't seem like something difficult to pull off. All you really need is a gun and the ability to put a mask on while holding the gun. This South Carolina robber is having issues with the mask part.

After roles like Uncle Jesse, Blackie Parrish, and Dr. Carl, John Stamos prepares for the most challenging and true to life role of his career: a "reproductive abuser" on Law and Order: SVU. Just another case of art imitating life.

Get your Mad Men fix with this new video from Funny Or Die that sits down Vincent Kartheiser and Rich Sommer as Pete Campbell and Harry Crane. Set in 1965, the pair discuss trains, planes, and why we need them.

The terrible, no good hurricane that's been raging in Florida for the past couple weeks continues to rage on in terrible, no good fashion. A boy got a car, an old lady got drunk, and art was ruined forever.

This video stars Kristen Schaal as the president of the United States and Mad Men's Silver Fox as her bodyguard (who just so happens to be pining away for her.) They're an odd couple, for sure, but so entertaining.

Since likely presidential candidate Willard "Mitt" Romney is going to be the next Barack Obama, he needs to dress in a way that shows his unbreakable bond with America's youth culture. He's realizing that the blue blazer and slacks look might incorrectly pigeonhole him as a "square." But what to wear?

The new season of Real Housewives of New York City begins on April 7th and promises a whole new batch of wild antics, girl-fights, and a new division among the Housewives—the blondes versus brunettes. We can't wait!
