Hamilton Nolan · 02/11/10 10:07AMWhy Can't Harvard Cops Stop Harassing Black People?
Moe · 08/27/08 10:56AMA mere days after winning, in a shocking upset, that prestigious US News award, Harvard University finds itself the center of a terrible controversy! Are the Harvard Campus Police racist? President Drew Gilpin Faust (!) sent out an email to students announcing the creation of a commission to review "complaints that officers have unfairly stopped black students, professors, and other university community members because of their race." Now, I know what you are thinking. Sure, Boston is a hugely white town in which cops are probably a little less savvy about the "racial profiling" than most, but what kind of professor gets mistaken for a sundry hoodlum?? Come on in, I will show you!
No Escape To Italy For Anne Hathaway Ex
Ryan Tate · 06/26/08 07:41AM- Anne Hathaway's Italian ex-boyfriend, accused con-man Rafaello Follieri, originally had planned a big spontaneous "vacation" to Italy for his "birthday" Wednesday, but of course he's in jail now, so no "dining patio, huge cellar of expensive wines, pricey pastas and locally caught seafood" for him.

Ryan Tate · 04/11/08 03:01AMNelson Mandela Is BFF With The Spice Girls
Nick Douglas · 02/19/08 01:37AMWhich apparently is not breaking news! But since at least two of us on the Gawker late shift didn't know, I'm just making sure we're all on the same page. I mean, when I read this lede — "The Spice Girls would love to perform for former South African President Nelson Mandela, but said on Monday they had not yet been formally asked to be part of his planned 90th birthday celebrations in June" — I nearly blogged that line without comment, you know? It turns out Mandela, who met the group in 1997, invited them to perform last year at his 89th birthday party, but Baby Spice was too pregnant. But so far, no new invite. Clearly Mandela has learned that the band really can't make a comeback, so he went big and invited Chumbawumba. After the jump, two men go through the exact same thought process in Dutch, though they pronounce "Chumbawumba" as "Pinochet."
