According to a survey among historians, out-going President George Bush was only the 6th-worst president we've ever had. Another example of why we need a national playoff system.
Kate Winslet says she's done her last movie nude scene. To be honest, I'm a fan of nudity in the movies. It's the ushers that have always told me they have a problem when I do it.
A man claims he is the father of Octo-mom's octuplets. The Octo-mom says it wasn't him. Either way, I don't Octo-care.
