As an adult who has chosen not to procreate, I understand that it would take a great deal of fortitude to survive a visit to that mecca for children know as Chuck E. Cheese. What with all the screaming kids romping around, the buzzers and bells associated with the games the tots play and the […]

Kim Kardashian is now a household name, and she’s got one person to thank for it.  Ray J., her ex-boyfriend and the co-star of Kim Kardashian’s fame-making sex tape.  Without that sex tape, she’s just another Armenian girl with big eyebrows.  However, the very thing that made Kim K a superstar may soon be disappearing. […]

HP’s stated goal for the TouchPad was a simple one.  Hewlitt-Packard knew they would not be able to topple Apple from its perch as the king of the tablet computer market, so HP just wanted one thing:  to be second behind the iPad.  Amazingly, HP has now taken that second place at the market, thanks […]

This story falls into the category of “Why Didn’t Someone Think Of This Sooner.” Going to the movies is one of my favorite pastimes. I much prefer to watch a film at the theater. With all the improvements in the theater experience in recent years, the only kink that has yet to be worked out […]

When Yvonne Studley, age 49, was hit by a moose in British Columbia, Canada, she was very badly injured.  The moose she hit came through her windshield, landing on her.  The crushing impact caused Studley to break her wrist, arm, and hand; fractured five of her ribs; and caused bleeding in her brain which put Studley […]

Another year, another new cast for Dancing With The Stars.  The show seems to have nailed the mix of sports personalities, reality TV veterans, washed-up musicians, political figures, and struggling actors necessary to attract huge audiences, judging by last year’s successes, and Season 13 isn’t going to be any different.  The New York Post has […]

It just goes to show you that just because you’ve got money, that doesn’t mean you’re smart.  That goes double for former athletes.  After all, see the sad case of former LA Laker and Washington Wizard Javaris Crittenton.  He’s on the run from the FBI as we speak, and why is that?  Former first-round pick […]

When Russians get drunk, crazy things happen.  Fortunately, they’re occasionally of the funny variety, not of the ‘woman gets stabbed in the back and doesn’t feel it‘ variety.  For example, a bunch of Moscow residents loaded into a 7 AM flight from Domodedovo Airport to London, England, only to discover that their in-flight entertainment was […]

Long-time Hunter Thompson fan, friend, and professional pirate Johnny Depp has been obsessed for years with bringing Thompson’s work to the big screen.  After befriending the crazed author while filming Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Depp picked up The Rum Diary and immediately started working to bring it to the screen.  For a decade, the […]

I hate the idea of surgery, only because I hate the idea of being put under and left to the mercy of a group of doctors and nurses that I don’t know.  For a 49-year-old Chinese man, being put into the hospital was the biggest, and last, mistake of his life.  When a fire broke […]

Sometimes, when you buy a new toy, you’re going to have a little trouble making heads or tails of the instructions.  They’re never written in plain English; most of the time, you’re lucky if they’re in Engrish.  The Australian government has recently bought some new weapons systems from the militaries of France and Italy, which is good.

Like the New York firefighter above who commemorated the loss of loved ones in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center with a dramatic tattoo, the family of Ernest James also mourned following the devastating terrorist assault. With the 10-year anniversary of the event just a few weeks away, James’ family spent the years […]

Jessica Beagley had a plan.  She was going to make it on the Phil McGraw’s popular daytime talk show, Dr. Phil, one way or another.  When Dr. Phil ran an episode called “Mommy Confessions,”  sure enough, Beagley was on the show.  Beagley, a 36-year-old from Anchorage, Alaska who is  married to a police officer, has […]

It’s been a long time coming, but now it’s official.  Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple due to his health problems.  After fighting off cancer and getting a liver replacement, it’s apparent that Jobs’ best days are behind him.  Now, he’ll be taking a permanent vacation from Apple.  With Jobs out, long-time […]
