Marco Rubio is going the be the Republican candidate for Senate in Florida this year. He is handily beating formerly popular Republican Governor Charlie Crist, because Crist is too moderate and too probably gay. This Rubio guy, though—he is basically the next Scott Brown! Except that once he destroys Crist in the primaries by running way to Charlie's right, it will be a lot harder for him to shift back to Florida's soft, mushy center. Especially when he is already coming out against taxing or regulating banks at all in any fashion. (We are so baffled by these Tea Party people! Aren't they anti-bailout? Anti-bailout and anti-preventing-future-bailouts?) Oh, right: he is beating Crist in the polls. They're both ahead of the Democrat, but the Democrat has not yet begun actually campaigning against this man who loves banks so much he wants to marry them.

30 Rock producer and Boston native, when asked if he thinks Julianne Moore's Boston accent on the show is realistic, to New York's Vulture.

It's a sad world, but there are things to make us happy, like births and newly-single male models! Look for birthing, dying, and marrying info about Ellen DeGeneres, Erich Segal, Pernell Roberts, Octomom, and a host of others.

Residents of New York City now have the longest life expectancy ever. Thank you, thank you. Thanks. How do we do it, besides killing each other less frequently? By not making the common fitness mistakes of Middle America.

So who are the four geniuses who got arrested by the FBI yesterday for—apparently—trying to tap the phone of a sitting U.S. senator?

Uh oh: It looks like McGraw Hill's CEO didn't get the memo about how Apple omertà strictly forbids the leaking of any tablet news prior to Steve Jobs' big presentation tomorrow. He went on CNBC and blabbed.

The real-life Belle du Jour, Dr. Brooke Magnanti, was interviewed by Billie Piper last night. We learned that Magnanti's sex work was done in part to fund her ambition of becoming not an actress, model or even writer...but a physicist.

The first is from iplaudius who subtly undermined in Facebook CEO's Sister Wants to Be a Pop Star:

"Welcome one and all to the Gawker Triumph of Stupidity Contest, where stupidity is celebrated, reinforced and rewarded. I'm James Frey, former Gawker Intern, former Gawker Special Correspondent, and now, Gawker Special Consultant for the Triumph of Stupidity Contest.

Fittingly, the premiere for this movie was in Detroit, where they have absolutely nothing to look forward to other than the complete and total collapse of their infrastructure and this. Mensa members Juggalos (fans of Horrorcore, or in layman's terms—the worst music ever to grace this planet, including Reggaeton sung by fat children), braved the frigid temperatures to see the movie. One person drove from freaking Kentucky to go to the premiere.

There are so many good things on the internet— here's our favorite links, news stories, and webjunk that we came across today.

Tiger Woods' wife plans to stay with him for the good of the children, a "Florida source" tells People. She'll even help the golfer shake off that sex addiction once he emerges from rehab, if you know what we mean.

Judy Miller: whatever happened to her? Apparently she is summarizing the final report of a "bipartisan commission," for FoxNews.com. Obama got an "F" in saving us from hypothetical aluminum tubes or something. (Ahmed Chalabi, you may be interested to know, is a bigwig in Iraqi government, and still has his friends in high places.)

During last night's premiere of Monster, we noticed a bizarre trend in the ludicrously dramatic storytelling. Grown men seemed to spend an awful lot of time dramatically staring at children for no apparent reason.

The Way We Live Now: Falling apart. Here are the things we currently lack: food, health care, and food, as well as money. What we do have, though, is our eye on the British. And we don't like their looks.
