Worst Press Release Title Ever: "Reality Star Makes Announcement". We actually got this one!

And the ball of ineptitude keeps bouncing on Wheel of Fortune. Somehow tonight managed to top last week's self-potato puzzle. I think it's safe to say that when a soldier is stationed overseas, they're not watching Regis and Kelly.

The man in the white suit could bring a crowds to tears with laughter, unlike the man in the latest Pink Panther movie. Watch as the Steve Martin we all actually love gives a new face to venereal disease.

On Sunday, Fox News analyst Brit Hume urged Tiger Woods to renounce his weird Asian religion and accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. But don't call it proselytizing! Hume appeared tonight on O'Reilly to say this obvious untruth.

Update 2: OK: Casey Johnson is actually dead. LAPD confirms it. Earlier tonight,TMZ reported embattled socialite Casey Johnson was found dead this morning in L.A of undetermined causes. She was 30.

Do you need a mustache hat? Here, here are directions for making a mustache hat.

Diablo Cody complained about bad group sex; Susan Orlean complained about a terrible JetBlue experience; and Ben Parr complained (implicitly) about the coastal elites. The Twitterati were less than thrilled.

We get lots of suggestions of what to post on Gawker every day. Let's take a look at what came in through the #tips page (and one unused email tip about Brad Pitt that showed up elsewhere).

Tonight we're tuned into Conveyor Belt of Love and the Fiesta Bowl. What are you watching tonight? Let us know in the comments.

Did you write a movie for Weinstein Co., and would you like a Writers Guild of America award for doing so? Too bad: Weinstein's not sending WGA members any screeners. Sorry, Nine, Inglorious Basterds, The Road, and A Single Man.
