Michele Bachman does something smart and other headlines
In a surprising announcement, Minnesota's Michele Bachman announced that she will not seek reelection to Congress in 2014. First smart thing she's done this decade. Good for her. Now about that probe into her campaign finances...
A 22 year old employee of Disneyland has been arrested in connection with the dry-ice bomb that went off in ToonTown, causing that part of the park to be evacuated for two hours. No motive was disclosed.
France's first same-sex wedding takes place today, not long after the nation's President legalized such unions. A large crowd, including a government minister, is expected.
A new study shows that in 40% of U.S. households with children under the age of 18, the mother is the top or sole breadwinner.
The driver of the car in which five teens died in a fiery crash in Newport Beach on Memorial Day, did not have a valid driver's license. His provisional license had been been suspended when he was cited for a violation in April.
When James Lipton applied to become host of "The Actors Studio" on Bravo, one job was missing from his resume. But he has now confessed that back in the 1950s (he is 86), he worked in Paris as a pimp. Wonder how many of the people he has interviewed over the years were once clients of Heidi Fleiss?
Adam Levine from Maroon 5 doesn't hate American. He did say "I hate this country" on his show "The Voice", but he was referring to those who live in the U.S. who didn't vote for his singers. An easily prevented misunderstanding but easy to forgive.
A number of churches that were once sponsors of Boy Scout troops have announced that they will be severing their ties with Scouting now that gays will be allowed to join the Boy Scouts.
Courtney Cox has finalized her divorce to David Arquette. They split in October of 2010 but have just now finalized the divorce.
Bruce Willis has listed his Beverly Hills mansion for sale for the low, low price of $22 million.
Actor Rick Schroeder has revealed that he had a huge teen "crush" on his "Silver Spoons" co-star, Erin Gray. In other shocking news, the sun will rise again tomorrow at its regularly scheduled time.
In Longwood, FL, banks have imposed a dress code in an effort to cut down on bank robberies. There are signs that say "Please remove hat, sunglasses and hoods before entering".
In an Italian library, the oldest known scrolls that constitute a complete Torah were found. They date back to the 1100s.
The NCAA has ordered a female varsity golfer at a WCC university to reimburse the university in the amount of $20, for having used university water and a hose to wash her car. Since the hose and water weren't available to non-athletes, it constituted a technical violation which the university self-reported. The late Chick Hearn would have called this "ticky-tack".
Chivas USA is a youth soccer team that is being sued by two of its former coaches who claim they were fired because they aren't Mexican.
Kate Upton is up in arms because Victoria's Secret used photos of her taken in 2011 after a booker for the lingerie retailer/catalogue firm said they would never use her. The photos appear on the latest catalogue's back cover.
Warren Buffett has ponied up $5.6 billion to buy NV Energy. Meanwhile, Shuanghai International Holdings Inc., a Chinese company has bought Smithfield Foods for $4.72 billion. This represents the largest purchase of a U.S. firm by a Chinese firm, to date.
Apparently for Patrick Stewart, "space" is not the final frontier. A slice of NY pizza, correctly folded while eaten was. The 72 year old actor tweeted a photo of what he says is his first ever slice of pizza.
A 73 year old man who suffers from dementia had been missing for 14 hours when TV reporter Norm Karkos was doing an update story on his disappearance in front of his home. A man walked into the shot and it turned out to be the missing man.
Family Ties star Justine Bateman is 47 years old, and is currently a freshman at UCLA. She is blogging about her experiences.
China plans a new export. Baijiu is a 110 proof liquor, is flammable, smells like fuel, tastes like paint thinner and is the most popular "spirit" sold in the world. Now there are some who want to export it to the rest of the world. None for me thanks.
Threatening notes that apparently contained the deadly poison ricin were sent to New York City's major Michael Bloomberg. Angry large soda drinker perhaps?
Former Lakers star and Clippers GM Elgin Baylor is auctioning off a large amount of his basketball memorabilia. Included in the auction will be his NBA World Championship ring from 1971/72. He denies this move stems from any financial problems, but one can't help but wonder. We know he made next to nothing during his time in the NBA and Donald Stirling was not the most generous of men when it came to his front office people during Baylor's tenure with the Clippers.
