Hours after Stephen Garcia and his 9-month-old son's bodies were discovered on a San Bernardino hiking trail, dead from an apparent murder-suicide, his Facebook profile announced activity: Stephen Garcia had uploaded a suicide note and video tribute to his family.

Zooey Deschanel sleeps with bands, stars react predictably to Oscar nominations, Hugh Jackman goes to 19th century China and Ben Silverman teams with a Murdoch. You'll catch cold out there! Come inside and have a hot glass of Trade Roundup.

Before the announcement that Ellen DeGeneres would replace Paula Abdul on American Idol's judging panel, Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice) was rumored to be a candidate. Thankfully, she wasn't chosen, because—as a guest judge tonight—she was horrible.

They say spring is the season of rebirth. How come everyone is trying to stage comebacks right now, then? So many high profile turnarounds are in the works: Mel Gibson, Michael Vick, butt rashes and more. Who will succeed?

Mel Gibson is trying to make a come back. We do not want him to. Case in point, his weird interview with a WGN reporter. He calls him an "asshole"—not the best way to promote your new movie!

You know how the Supreme Court ruled the Prop 8 trial couldn't be filmed? A pair of Los Angeles filmmakers have pledged to create filmed reenactments of all 60 hours of the trial based on firsthand reports and transcripts. [marriagetrial.com]

George Carlin is a legend and although he passed away recently, his work is still some of the most viewed stand-up on the net. Here, he hacks up the ten commandments with ease. Thou shalt watch!

Readers, our nation's girls are in trouble. They are fighting each other and uploading videos of these fights to YouTube. Now is the time to come together as Americans and stop this... OMG: GIRL FIGHT! THOSE CHICKS ARE TOTALLY FIGHTING!

Come one, come all, and join us as we live blog the television event that forced President Obama to opine on the State of the Union a week early: the premiere of the sixth—and final—season of LOST.

Barbara Walters is preparing to air another interview with Jenny Sanford about her Argentine-mistress-having husband, and boy is he looking like an awful mate. He insisted she remove the "faithful" clause from their wedding vows, and that's just for starters.

Tonight we're tuned into Lost, Teen Mom and American Idol. What are you watching tonight? Let us know in the comments.

Sarah Palin "wrote" an op-ed for The USA Today called "Why I'm speaking at Tea Party convention." Weirdly, she doesn't mention the fact that they are paying her $100,000.

Condé Nast set up a hotline for ratting out coworkers who release secrets, take "unauthorized discounts" or just straight steal from the company. That sort of highway robbery is permissible only between a top editor and a consenting Si Newhouse.

Today's show was a dating dealbreakers-themed episode, so it naturally touched on sexual experiences that leave a little something to be desired.

Every day we must take a second to stop obsessing about nerd fantasias on island themes and look at comments. Funny comments, sad comments, mean comments, and, very rarely, religious comments.

So! It seems that Mandy Stadtmiller's first-person exploration of hiring a male prostitute that ran on the cover of today's New York Post has not been so popular among grumbling media types. A sample of the bitching we've heard, below.

Joe Basel, one of the guys arrested after sneaking into Mary Landrieu's office to tamper with her phones, was, you will be shocked to hear, a complete "douchebag" in college.

Rupert Murdoch sent out a memo today to reassure his News Corp. charges that, recession or not, their media conglomerate remains on top and is growing revenue. "Organically," which is heartening. Full memo after the jump. But don't let the hippie-dippie "organic" language fool you into thinking Murdoch is turning liberal; despite rumors of an internal feud, Murdoch still gives prominent praise to his right-tilting Fox News Channel and Wall Street Journal in the memo below, albeit after a nod to Avatar, a film about native peoples' struggle against mining interests. And he sounds as defiant as ever about free internet content, citing the Journal's effort at "instituting fair pricing for digital journalism" as a major accomplishment. He's about to turn 79, but Murdoch sounds like he's still very much in a hurry.
