• Sex is the Answer, Say Women in Kenya

  The answer to the question, that is, about what women should do to stop their men from fighting and killing each other. Didn't the Greeks try that once? Seriously, we have a term in America for guys involved with women who are withholding sex... Read More...

• While You Were Sleeping: The Harry Potter Murder Case Ends

  If any of our L.A. readers are going to see Kirk Douglas live on stage, consider yourselves very, very lucky... and envied. The days of rock feuds have returned: Win Butler of Arcade Fire vs. Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips. Seems William H. Macy has always been babysitting Jeremy Piven... Read More...

• Man Shoots Wife During Sex (with a Gun)

  This is disgusting, but we can't say we all haven't been there before. You're making love to your partner and reach over to get something from the nightstand, then accidentally pull the trigger on the .38 caliber pistol you happen to have on your nightstand, which happens to wound your partner in the chest.

• Can We Ask? Might John McCain Be Section 8?

  The following dispatch is from Byron Dafoe, who is filling in this week...  Long since abandoned by the military, “Section 8” was the military designation for a soldier who’d gone a little further off the deep end than allowed.  (See also: bat-shit crazy.) Now, I’m not suggesting that John McCain is crazy, but he has been through some harrowing experiences while rightfully sympathizing with, may have just as rightfully caused him to suffer from PTSD or worse, a complete mental breakdown...

• Robert Downey, Jr. Not Taking Any S*** From You

  A local radio DJ in L.A. is causing quite a stir (albeit a hilarious one) with a newly-released tape of him grilling Robert Downey, Jr. with probing questions on a press junket for Tropic Thunder. However, it's Downey who emerges unscathed, with his trademark wry humor and quick-thinking responses. He never loses his cool and covers his ass at every turn... Read More...

• Today in WTF: Humanitarian Aid Workers Sexually Abusing Children

  We're unfortunately not surprised to report that aid workers are abusing their powers in the war-torn countries they're sent to protect, but we are shocked to say they're apparently doing so with children as young as six.

• Scanner Highs and Lows: In Which We Say Goodbye to Boobs

  In our lifetimes many boobs will come and go. But every once in a while a pair like no other comes along (and, no, they don't belong to Ashley Alexandra Dupre). And just like that, they're gone.

• Afghan Boy Survives Being Stabbed in the Head

  You'd think that stabbing someone in the head with a 7.6-cm blade would result in instant, if not slow and miserable, death. Not so for an Afghan boy who was stabbed at his father's store and made his way to a military field hospital where a British surgical team saved his life.   X-ray after the jump.  Read More...

• I Hate Myself For Loving You: Jamie Tarabay

  She's brilliant, gorgeous, and has an accent which is an amalgamation of several hot accents. In fact, there's no reason to feel any guilt at all for being into Jamie Tarabay... other than for the fact that she's National Public Radio's woman in Baghdad. We therefore feel a ridiculous amount of guilt for loving her and wishing she were here with us instead of doing what she really wants to do, which is apparently to meet some sort of terrible fate for the honor of Robert Siegel.
