There's some amusing finger-pointing going on in the aftermath of the Google-Yelp affair (which, like any affair, may just be in remission).

Crooner Michael Buble spent the entire hour on the Glenn Beck Program today and boy, was it weird. Apparently the two are chums in real life— and couldn't stop talking about how much they love each other.

We get lots of suggestions of what to post on Gawker. Let's take a look at what came in through the #tips page today:

Yesterday we alerted you to Collin O'Neal CNN iReport's gay porn reporter. He got a lot of negative attention for the clip, and so did we. From whom? The gays! You people need to calm down.

The files released by the FBI today relating to Michael Jackson don't appear to contain too much new information, but they do reveal the extent to which the feds helped Santa Barbara prosecutors go after him for child molestation.

Tonight we're watching Scrubs, Teen Mom and Britain's Missing Top Model. What are you watching tonight? Let us know in the comments.

Ungh. So annoying. There you are, stocking up on countless packages of bologna for the coming winter, and there he is again. You know who we're talkin' about—the guy constantly trying to covertly smell your ass.

"Have you ever stopped for a moment to consider that the cast of Jersey Shore are all secretly a bunch of classically trained actors playing roles created for them and that we, those of us who love to mock and ridicule Snooki, J-Woww, Pauly-D and The Situation, are being played HARD?" [Animal NY]

Commercials for Tarako, a roe product marketed with marching kewpie dolls and children's choirs, are always strange, in keeping with Japanese advertisement standards. In the full-length Christmas ad, children chant incessantly while visions of fish eggs dance on their heads.

It's FINALLY here, you guys—The Karatier Kiddier (working title)—with Mr. Miyagi played by a chin-pubed Jackie Chan and a black Danielsan. For a second there we were worried the desecration of our youth wouldn't come to fruition.

It was 25 years ago today that Bernie Goetz pulled out a handgun on a No. 2 train and opened fire on four black teenagers who he claimed were planning to mug him. Goetz fired five shots and all four were seriously injured— one was left a paraplegic—and the story, which touched on the hot buttons of race and urban crime, dominated the news media for months. Goetz later stood trial for attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment, although a jury only convicted him of illegal firearms, and he ultimately spent less than a year in prison before his release. Cindy Adams took a few minutes to catch up with Goetz on the occasion of the anniversary to see if planned to do anything to do mark the day.

This year The Gap's holiday ads were god-awful, cringe-inducing commercials that resembled Old Navy ads. Here's a look at some of the better holiday ads over the years from the company. We wish they'd bring these ones back.
