Fox & Friends Can't Even Get a Simple Runaway Deer Story Right

Richard Lawson · 06/22/11 01:03PM

This morning on Fox News' doomsday cult chat show Fox & Friends, the pile of leaves and twigs stuffed inside a man's suit known as Steve Doocy spoke to a mother and son about a crazy deer that got loose in their church. Easy story, right? Wrong!

Brian Moylan · 06/22/11 12:33PM

California crackpot Lou Balducci found the face of Jesus in one of his rotted, unusable rocking chairs earlier this year. Now he's doing what any good, respecting Christian would do to serve God: He's selling it. How much will they fetch?

Part Two of Sarah Palin's Bus Tour in Jeopardy

Jim Newell · 06/22/11 11:58AM

We've all been spending the last few weeks skimming through silly, summer news stories like the president having an illegal war in Libya and the global economy drifting perilously close to a double-dip recession, waiting on edge for real news about Sarah Palin getting back on a bus and driving through more states. When oh when will the Tour de Grift resume for its promised second leg through the Heartland? Perhaps never, sadly.

Senator Demands Investigation of NBC for Making Business Decision

Jim Newell · 06/22/11 11:02AM

It is clear that NBC hates God, after the network removed the words "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance during its broadcast of the U.S. Open. Can't NBC just be free to hate God like every other freedom-loving corporate person? Indiana Sen. Dan Coats says no! This omission must be explained in excruciating detail to top federal authorities.

The Meanest Julia Roberts Story Ever Written

Maureen O'Connor · 06/22/11 10:35AM

You are a terrible person for reading this nasty story about America's sweetheart. Ashlee Simpson has a new boyfriend. Ryan Dunn drank picklebacks before he died. Steve-O recalls doing blow with LiLo while she was in rehab. Wednesday gossip is a big mistake. Big. Huge.

Which News Anchor Pays for Sex?

Brian Moylan · 06/22/11 09:58AM

This newsman recently fired a staff member because they saw him trying to hire a hooker. This power gay actually likes to sleep with women. And this daytime talker has pissed off all her co-hosts. Maybe she can pay for their favors?

The picturesque mountain town of Kalispell, Montana (pop: 19,927) is becoming a haven for extremists after several marquee names from various angry white person groups have set up shop there.

Watch Tom Hanks Dance with a Hot Weather Lady on Univision

Matt Cherette · 06/22/11 04:20AM

In an inexplicable appearance that proves he'll do just about anything to promote his upcoming film, Larry Crowne, Tom Hanks spent some time with the hosts of Univision's Despierta America morning show on Tuesday. And if the above video of Hanks dancing the "weather mambo" with sexy co-host Chiquinquira Delgado is any indication, a very good time was had by all.

Britney Spears Murders Paparazzi in New Music Video

Matt Cherette · 06/22/11 03:18AM

Here's the music video for Britney Spears' new single, "I Wanna Go," which also happens to be the song that Bravo chose to use in its summer promos. In the video, Spears curses out reporters at a press conference before escaping. She's then followed around by cyborg paparazzi and tries to kill them with a swinging microphone before escaping, again, and dancing around a convertible in a polka dot bikini top. Fun! Or something.

Stephen Colbert Finds the 'Generic Republican' Who Can Beat Obama

Matt Cherette · 06/22/11 01:10AM

While most polls suggest President Obama still leads in a head-to-head race against any of the declared 2012 Republican presidential candidates, one poll released by Gallup last week found that against a "generic Republican," Obama would lose the election 39 to 44 percent. But just who exactly is this faceless, Obama-crushing mystery man? On tonight's Report, Stephen Colbert explained.

Harrisburg Mayor Stages Hunger Strike Over City's Budget Woes

Seth Abramovitch · 06/22/11 12:54AM

Linda Thompson — the mayor of the fiscally hurting Harrisburg, Pa. — has attempted everything from budget slashing to layoffs to bankruptcy filings to get the state capital's finances back on track. Nothing has worked. So now she's taking a different approach: She's staging a three-day hunger strike, hoping at some point during her calorically-deprived hallucinations, God will point the way towards an economic recovery.

Matt Cherette · 06/22/11 12:07AM

Last night, Keith Olbermann reincarnated Countdown on Current TV and it was pretty much the same exact show he had on MSNBC before the network gave him the boot. To call it "new" is a bit of a stretch, but Olbermann stopped by tonight's Late Show with David Letterman to promote the program and read off tonight's Top 10 list, "Reasons to Watch the New Countdown with Keith Olbermann." Video of the segment is above.

Florida Couple Arrested For Putting on Surfside Sex Show

Seth Abramovitch · 06/21/11 11:56PM

Hello, Florida! How are you today? Oops! You're doing it on the beach. Erica Huerta, 21, and Steven Perry, 22, were arrested for engaging in "sexual activity for more than a half hour" on Treasure Island beach just before sunset on Monday. Yes, Steven Perry. (It's actually amazing how many Journey songs seem apropos to this story: "Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'," "Girl Can't Help It," etc.)

African Grey Parrots Are Going to Enslave Us All

Max Read · 06/21/11 11:23PM

There is not, as far as we know, a forum where we might place bets on which non-robot species is most likely to conquer and enslave the human race, but if there were, we would place our money on the African Grey Parrot, which, scientists have recently confirmed, has the capacity to reason, a skill that places it in the same category as chimpanzees, gorillas and humans.
