The supposed best of Broadway was honored this morning with nominations for theater's biggest prize. Who was counted? Let's take a look.
Two days after Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces, he remains dead. (As far as we know.) A photo is likely forthcoming, as U.S. intelligence pores over Osama's hard drive.
This leading man is totally bald and has a whole room for his hair pieces. This actress has a potty mouth. This designer is pissed he didn't design the royal wedding dress. And this star is barely in the closet. The only wig he wears is his beard!
Former Playboy Playmate and B-movie star Yvette Vickers was found in a "mummified state" inside her Benedict Canyon, California home by a neighbor last week. Authorities tell the Los Angeles Times that she could have been dead for up to a year. Susan Savage found Vickers' body after noticing yellowed mail and cobwebs: "I just had a bad feeling," she told the paper.
After weeks of threats, Will Ferrell finally made good on his promise to shave Conan O'Brien's beard on tonight's episode of Conan. So, how'd it go? Let's just say that Ferrell had a few technical difficulties—and that each of them made the bit even funnier.
Warning: Bumpy Canadian politics ahead! Our increasingly-less-friendly neighbors to the north have spoken loudly at the polls, all but obliterating the moderate Liberals in tonight's national election.
"I suppose I should be expressing some ambivalence about the targeted killing of another human being," Jon Stewart said during tonight's Daily Show while discussing the killing of Osama bin Laden, before admitting, "I am way too close to this whole episode to be rational about this in any way, shape, or form. Last night was a good night."

It's not a good idea, when you're on trial, to attack the prosecutor in the courtroom. But Emanuel D. "E Man" Mitchell had already been convicted of murder, so he probably figured he had nothing to lose.
As you've likely heard, Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden was killed during a firefight with American forces in Pakistan on Sunday. Above, President Obama and his national security team wait for updates from the operation. Here's the latest news:
The next, and final, Harry Potter film just might profit off the death of a terrible old terrorist. Weird world we live in. Also today: some TV pilot news, more Hunger Games casting, and a Chris Hemsworth makeout fantasy.
Have you, too, heard the sound of Rush Limbaugh patting himself on his gross back all afternoon? Because he sure pulled a quick one on the liberal media today! He opened his radio show by heaping praise on the president, even saying "Thank God for President Obama." Hey now... really?
Oh, come on, you don't actually believe this nonsense that Osama Bin Laden was really killed in a firefight on Sunday… do you? The internet has found the truth behind the Osama Bin Laden death conspiracy. It's a ruse to distract from Obama's Kenyan origins!
File this under "the medium is the message": At a teeny-bop concert in Ecuador, Miley Cyrus performed the world's most incongruous rendition of Nirvana anthem "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
