He was inspired by, loyal to, and probably in love with Palin, based on our reading. But now he hates her! All of this according to his 465-page, tell-all manuscript that's mysteriously leaked to reporters' inboxes everywhere.
The worst thing about this backflip fail is the friend saying "You're really going to die if you hit your head" right before he, you guessed it, hits his head.
Nerds of a certain age will be thrilled to learn that their childhood crush/idol Mayim Bialik has "Blossomed" [ugh, sorry] into a similarly geeky adult. As explained in this interview, the real-life neuroscientist is truly a Wonder Woman.
It turns out Jennifer Aniston isn't completely unlovable, because living Abercrombie polo Ashton Kutcher wants to go out on a date with her.

To say that Tina Brown is more fond of hype than any other major magazine editor is not necessarily to say anything bad about her; it's just to point out that she is Tina Brown—the editor who pathologically loves to celebrate celebrity. The editor whose Talk magazine launch party defined an entire era of media excess! It's worked for her. But suddenly, she's shy and retiring?
