• While You Were Sleeping: The Spitzer Scandal Never Dies

  Remember that red-state porn craze we told you about? Apparently, Utah pays for it more than any other state. Typical: 16 people were arrested following violence at a concert held to promote non-violence. Hayden Panetierre may be heading toward a nervous breakdown. Yeesh... Read More...

• The Beatles Get Back to Where They Once Belonged

  It was forty years ago today when Paul McCartney told the band to play.  The Beatles were on the roof of Apple Corp., their record company's building, gearing up to play and record the songs from their stalled "Get Back" sessions. It was freezing as hell and they hadn't performed live in over three years, but as you can see here, the band was in great spirits... Read More...

• John Lennon Comes Back From the Dead to Make Sure Every Child Has a Laptop

  John Lennon would like you to make sure every child a laptop. Yes, that John Lennon. Twenty eight years after his death, the former Beatle is starring in a 30-second commercial for the One Laptop Per Child initiative. Footage of Lennon has been mashed-up with a voice saying, "Imagine every child, no matter where in the world they were, could access a universe of knowledge. They would have a chance to learn, to dream, to achieve anything they want. I tried to do it through my music, but now you can do it in a very different way." While we are so totally blown away by what kids can do with technology these days (no, really, we're not) we're also fairly creeped out by this commercial. Video after the jump... Read More...

• Scanner Giveaway: Signed Elton John DVDs!

  We're dead serious. The man who played piano while wearing those giant sunglasses. The dude who told Lilly Allen he could snort her under the table. One of the baddest mofos of all time, or at least 1973, Elton John, has agreed to autograph copies of his new DVD documentary "Tantrums and Tiaras," which features behind-the-scenes craziness and excesses not seen since the Rolling Stones were still allowed within our borders. Like we said-- despite all this kidding around-- we're serious. We're going to give you autographed Elton John DVDs... all you have to do is... Read More...

• While You Were Sleeping: Better To Be Fat And Fit?

  What the hell? Toby Keith is a Democrat?! Impossible... maybe a Reagan Democrat, but other than that... Mark David Chapman said he's sorry about shooting John Lennon multiple times for no reason. Think fast: name the two most hated "internet micro-celebrities..." Read More...

• What Would You Rather? John Lennon's Hair or $48,000?

  We love The Beatles as much as the next gal, but if it were us, we'd keep our $48,000. Unless you can clone Lennon with a lock of his hair, whoever just bought it at an auction is crazytown. But hey, if you're really that into it, we've got a whole hairbrush full of lustrous red stuff we'll sell you for fifty bucks. Hell, we'll even throw in some dirty panties. [Via Yahoo!
