It's the War of the Roses (Peddlers)! A flowery feud! A Google gamble, in which customers are wooed. Some of America's top Internet flower retailers are being a little sneaky in trying to become tops in Google's search results (and by proxy, your mom's heart). Who will stop them?
Lindsay and Paris' would-be feud may already have ended. Paul McCartney is engaged. And Justin Bieber wants you to be cyber-responsible. Saturday's gossip once walked in on its husband sleeping with its dad. (It was the '60s!)
Memphis Imams Masudur Rahman and Mohamed Zaghloul had boarded a flight Friday morning when they were told the pilot wouldn't fly with them aboard. They were going to Charlotte—to attend a conference intended to "address prejudice against Muslims."
Another spring weekend is here, a perfect time to enjoy the flowers and sunshine and... Wait, forget that. Stay indoors. See a movie! Debuting this week are two giant blond nuisances: one of them a hammer-wielding superhero, the other Kate Hudson.
The attack against KISS frontman Gene Simmons' website last year was one of the most bizarre campaigns in the history of the online vigilante group Anonymous. But the FBI is on the case and has raided the home of a Washington man thought to be involved in the attack.
For those of you rejoicing in bloodlust over Osama bin Laden's death, a piece of advice: Don't go to Germany! They have this bizarre cultural thing about dancing on peoples' graves with blood pouring out of your mouth. And it's entrenched enough that German Chancellor Angela Merkel's statement about being "glad" to hear about bin Laden's death has become a major national scandal, even landing her a criminal complaint from a Hamburg judge today.
Did you hear that Barack Obama demanded a massive American flag be removed from Ground Zero while he was there yesterday? It's not true! At all.
Filmmaker Dominic Boudreault made this awesome movie called "The City Limits" where he filmed time-lapse footage of Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Montreal and then edited it all together. Unless you know the various cities' landmarks, you can hardly tell them apart. Is it urbanist to say all cities look the same? You can't even tell which ones are in Canada and which are in the good old U.S. of A. Still, New York looks the best, right? Right?!
Last night we all suffered through another episode of the History Channel's blazing documentary Detente: People Sitting and Talking about Conflicts Brought to You by Lunchables. Then we learned about a Pecking Order and the treaty was broken, faces were slapped with gloves, and gauntlets were thrown down. There be war in Housewives land!
We all know reality television shows, including and especially American Idol, are basically serial hoaxes. But couldn't they try a little harder to maintain the illusion? Idol producers went to elaborate lengths last night to falsely present Jennifer Lopez's on-air performance as "live," but they left behind a few editing artifacts proving that it was taped.
Another death on last night's installment of American Glitterdoom, and now we're left with four. Just four! The bees are buzzing, the leaves are on the trees, and only four Idol contestants remain. Which means it's almost summer! Hooray!
President Obama made it back from Ground Zero yesterday just in time for a packed White House Cinco de Mayo party. He prepared for the crowd all sorts of Mexico-related jokes, for which the First Lady served as a useful prop at times. Mexican food is Michelle's favorite, Obama said, adding that "you do not want to be between Michelle and a tamale." Not that she's fat or anything, he hastily adds — she exercises, too! Oh, to be a prop wife.
Today in absurdly American celebrations of Osama bin Laden's death: Here is a song by one Scott Gerling celebrating the death of Osama Bin Laden. Sample lyrics:
Angelina Jolie is sick of listening to herself speak. Paris Hilton picks a fight with Lindsay Lohan. Penelope Cruz teaches a lesson on raunchy Spanish idioms. A famous person names his daughter "Mirabella Bunny." TGIFriday gossip.
This leading lady just got the news and is hoping to film a movie before the bump shows. This celeb just got married but is already dating. And this actress played a really nasty trick on a costar. Let's just say everyone knows the costar isn't pregnant!
A video that was shot last January in Phoenix — showing police officer Patrick Larrison shove a 15-year-old girl into a wall after she'd been in a drunken altercation with her mother in a strip mall parking lot — has surfaced and is causing some commotion in the city. When a colleague of Larrison's saw the video this week they alerted superiors at the Phoenix Police Department, which has since put Larrison on paid leave pending an investigation. Sgt. Trent Crump told the AP, "At face value, the video is concerning to us."
