While You Were Sleeping: The New American Idol Judge

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Remember that story last week about the bride and groom that got into a fight with their guests and ended up in jail? (Twice?) Well, a couple in Scotland may have taken us literally when we joked it sounded like a great party.

Three people have been arrested for attempting to assassinate or at least wound Senator Obama during his outdoor speech, scheduled for Thursday night. 

Speaking of Obama: isn't voting for McCain after you backed Hillary Clinton the same as voting for Bush after you backed Bill Bradley?

As frustrated Democrats converged on Denver yesterday, some began chanting "caucus fraud," while others shouted the word "sweetie," a reference to the time Obama called a female reporter by the same name. One Clinton supporter who spoke to ABC News said Obama couldn't be trusted. Another said, "He's shifty and untrustworthy." [ABC News

We're not sure why every media outlet did a story on the reason Facebook blocked Scrabulous. Thanks, but we figured it was Mattel's doing all along.

Songwriter Karen DioGuardi, who looks like someone who'd play Paula Abdul in a Lifetime movie, and author of hits for Carrie Underwood, Pink, and Kelly Clarkson, is bringing her brand of sass to American Idol. Now the show just needs someone who can actually sing and we might watch it. 

A father and son, who have been separated for 22 years are finally reunited: in prison, where both are serving terms for the same sex crime.

One of the singers from the Barenaked Ladies survived a plane crash. They just got a whole lot cooler in our books...

Yes, he's been such a great parent so far, let's do it all over again: Charlie Sheen's new wife is pregnant.

Crazy thing about the AP story on the gunman (at least Yeahoo's version).. it says that there was no "credible threat", that the man arrested was a member of a white supremacist group and that there were ONLY 12 groups registered in Colorado. The kicker is that the story calls this a "moderate number" compared to all the other states.. Is there an acceptable number? Where exactly are they registered- Crate & Barrel?
