I have some disappointed Norwegian friends. They had heard scientists had finally identified "the cod particle."

Friday was the Dalai Lama's 77th birthday... this time around.

Over 3,000 heat records were broken across the U.S. over the past week... and another 2,000 warped.

Now I'm excited about the new Batman movie. For a while, I thought they were saying, "the dark Newt rises." Just didn't want to go through that all over again...

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have already reached a divorce settlement. That was quick! If only "Vanilla Sky" had ended that fast.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have already reached a divorce settlement. TomKat has been officially neutered.

A new study claims that if you sit less than 3 hours a day, you'll add two years to your life. That's it -- I'm going to start taking a more active role in life. From now on, I'm going to stand while watching TV!

A new study claims that if you sit less than 3 hours a day, you'll add two years to your life. Avoid sitting in the passenger's side of Lindsay Lohan's car, you'll add another 10.

I missed what happened at the Olympic trials. Did they find anyone guilty?

San Bernardino has become the third California city to file for bankruptcy in the past two weeks. Back when I was growing up, there were predictions that California cities would slide into something. At the time, I thought they were saying "ocean."

From my buddy, Skip Tucker: Shopping for antiques won't make you gay, but it will make you buy curios.

There's a big push underway for more nude beaches in America. Understandably, also fewer jellyfish.
