The sound of hearts breaking all over the world...

A lot of men are not going to like this.  Stacy Keibler isn't just dating someone, she's gotten married.  The leggy dancer and former WWE superstar wed her boyfriend of seven months, tech entrepreneur Jared Pobre in Mexico.  They've known each other for some time, but reconnected only after she and George Clooney broke up.

Aviation experts are speculating about the possibility that the missing Malaysian Airlines 777 jet may have disintegrated in mid-air.  The absence of a distress call does strongly suggests that whatever happened was quick and unexpected.  The Boeing 777 has an unparalleled safety record.  Since being introduced into use in 1995, it had gone 18 years without a fatal accident until last July's Asiana crash.

As we watch the media attempt to scoop each other on what really happened with the Malaysian Airlines plane, this should serve as a reminder to take breaking news with a grain of salt.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1JYHNX8pdo

Hulk Hogan wants CM Punk to return to the WWE.  Punk quit after he did not get the chance to wrestle in the title match at WrestleMania and has said nothing since leaving.

Jennifer Aniston wants Gisele Bundchen's body.  I never she went that way...oh, she wants to have a body just like that.  Never mind.

After reading about the small town of Hampton, FL, I think I've seen the apex of corruption.

At the age of 26 Rashard Mendenhall has decided to retire from professional football.  Good for him for choosing to do what he wants.

McDonald's tops the list of successful fast food chains, with $35 billion in sales in 2012, more than the total of the next three operations on the list combined (Subway, Starbucks and Wendy's).

It's good news/bad news for the spice aficionados out there.  The good news is that Sriracha flavored Pringles are now available.  The bad news is that for now, only Walmarts have them.

A tax preparer in Kirkwood, MO was choked by his client, 53 year old Michael Earl Wright, apparently after being given bad news about his tax situation.  Don't shoot the messenger, people.

Ann Coulter is once again peddling her ignorant drivel, this time saying the reason that Democrats are in favor of immigration reform is that it will create millions of voters.  Apparent Ms Coulter, law school graduate has lost sight of the fact that only citizens can vote.  Not immigrants, legal or illegal, not until they become citizens.

South Carolina legislators want to cut funding at the state's public universities because those schools are assigning reading materials that deal with homosexual themes.  Strange how "Fun Home", the story of its lesbian author finding the strength to come out of the closet is unacceptable, while books like "The Bridges of Madison County" (adultery), "Red Dragon" (torture and murder) are perfectly acceptable to the good ole boys who run this state's political machinery.

Banning books is an irrational act of fear that accomplishes nothing.
