George Clooney returned to the Late Show tonight after a three-and-a-half year absence, so naturally there were many things David Letterman wished to discuss with him. Chief among them: Vera Farmiga's backside, which apparently has been on Letterman's mind since seeing Clooney and Farmiga appear together in Up in the Air a couple of years ago.

On The View yesterday, dark horse Republican candidate Herman Cain claimed homosexuality is a sin and that people choose to be gay. After he was challenged by Joy Behar, Cain said "Show me the science," apparently unaware of the fact it already exists. Even so, Stephen Colbert defended Cain on tonight's Report by proving he chose to be straight—just like he chose to be a right-handed white man.

The five million viewers who tuned in for The Great British Bake Off finale that aired Tuesday on the BBC were distracted — and some permanently scarred — by this lingering shot of a squirrel with humongous genitals. Enjoy. [via Daily Mail]

In New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and elsewhere, Apple fans have been gathering and leaving spontaneous tributes to Steve Jobs at Apple Stores throughout the night. People have left flowers, signs, Post-it notes, and even writing right on the glass walls. Here are a few of the images circulating on Twitter and elsewhere.

Apple founder Steve Jobs died on Wednesday. But so did civil rights leader Fred Shuttlesworth, guitarist and songwriter Bert Jansch, and actor Charles Napier.

In yet another dark chapter in organized-Amish-crime history, The Wheeling Intelligencer is reporting that members of the Amish community near Bergholz, Ohio, are under investigation by at least four sheriff's departments for a string of recent break-ins in Amish homes. Every time, the victims' hair and beards were cut off.

Flash mob recreations of the "Thriller" video have broken out of wedding reception halls and Filipino prison yards in recent years to become something of a rite of Halloween passage. But try telling that to the fascist city officials of Boca Raton, who have shut down this year's planned "Thriller" extravaganza, and in doing so, made Halloween Jesus cry.

South Park kicked off its 15th season tonight in an episode that combined four show staples: potty humor, political satire, parody and pondering the human condition. It was smart and timely, funny and outrageous. And it was a little depressing, too.

For 35 years, Steve Jobs was the most interesting guy in Silicon Valley. He went from cocky hustler to exiled wanderer to returned champion, but he never really left the spotlight. And why would he? No one was better at using the cameras to their advantage, at least not in Jobs' world. Here's a selection of highlights—products, outfits, hair styles—from Jobs' long and varied career.

For perpetually calm and collected Courtney Love, it seems that time does not heal all wounds. She's still seething over Kurt Cobain's suicide. She's so enraged, in fact, that if Kurt should somehow rise from the beyond, she says she'd kill him again. And not only that! She also says she'd make sure to have sex with him one more time before finishing him off.

On the day Occupy Wall Street protesters marched in Manhattan (and were arrested and beaten by the NYPD), Jon Stewart opened The Daily Show with a critique of how the media—and Fox News in particular—has covered the movement. Stewart was particularly puzzled by the difference between the coverage of Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party movement: "Rage against duly elected government is patriotic, quintessentially American, whereas rage against multi-national shareholder-accountable corporations is anti-American?"

This is the scene at Occupy Wall Street Wednesday tonight, where a few hundred protesters continued the day's even larger demonstration with another march on Wall Street.

If you have 30 CDs stolen from you, it's perfectly understandable that you'd go to the cops. If those 30 CDs are filled with child porn, on the other hand, well, the cops are likely to be less sympathetic.

Steve Jobs' death has touched off an outpouring of grief, memories and reflection in Silicon Valley and around the world. That outpouring is only just beginning, and we'll catalog the most notable reactions here, as they come in.

Ten Occupy Wall Street protesters have reportedly been arrested after a few hundred people launched an impromptu march on Wall Street following today's huge demonstration in downtown Manhattan.

Steve Jobs, who as Apple's founder and twice CEO revolutionized the use of computers, phones, and music players before popularizing digital tablets, died today after a seven year battle with pancreatic cancer and related ailments. He was 56.

The Occupy Wall Street march appears to be winding down—our coverage from the scene is here—but if you're interested in seeing what you missed today as thousands converged on Manhattan's Financial District and turned the area into a giant mess, here are some photos from the march.

Sarah Palin announced on Wednesday evening that she's not running for president, because she thinks she can "be more effective in a decisive role to help elect other true public servants to office."

Charlotte York MacDougal Goldenblatt herself has the lead in a new TV movie. Also today: The Biggest Loseer loses, 2 Broke Girls are rich, Julia Stiles gets a plum role, and Lizzy Caplan shows up.

Anna Faris' husband, fellow actor (and Parks and Rec costar) Chris Pratt, is getting a lot of heat on Twitter because he used the social networking Penny Saver to give away the couple's 15-year-old cat away. Now that all the friends of felines are hitting him back, he's making it even worse.
