“Hi. We’re on ‘Big Brother’. And we are massive tools.”

CBS bosses report he was then seen to pull a knife on the 28-year-old waitress, saying “Hang on, I’m going to slash your throat. Would you get mad if I just killed you?”

He later insisted it had been a joke.

You know, it’s things like this that make me really ashamed of being in the entertainment industry sometimes.

Damn that stupid Taco Bell commercial – I’ve had the theme from “Bonanza” stuck in my head all day.

And now, the Futile Money-Grubbing Effort of the Week, brought you you by Rerun, home of the existential whopper:

‘Millionaire’ Contestant Sues for Second Chance

The question Rosner missed was, “What capital city is located at the highest altitude above sea level?” La Paz, Bolivia, is the world’s highest capital, but Rosner said La Paz was not one of the four choices he received.

THIS is grounds for a lawsuit now? Sorry, but I’m not buying it – the question doesn’t say “what is the highest capital IN THE WORLD”, the question was which was the highest AMONG THESE FOUR CHOICES. Anyone who has seen Millionaire for more than 5 minutes knows that’s how the game works. This yutz is trying to get the 15 minutes of fame he thinks he would have had, if only he made it to the million dollar question – that’s a lot of “if”s. Oy.

And that’s my final…ah, screw it.

Rowan Atkinson is either very lucky, or is more like Edmund Blackadder than he’d like to admit. First, he crashes his car in 1999, then he narrowly escapes death on his own plane, and then yesterday wrecks another car in a racing mishap. I’ve got a cunning plan, Mr. Atkinson – do your own flying, and let other people drive from now on.

American threatens own funeral walk-out over Danny Boy ban
Mr McKenna wrote in a letter to The Providence Visitor, the Diocese’s official newspaper: “I want Danny Boy sung at my funeral mass and, if it isn’t, I’m going to get up and walk out.”

Wow. Just…wow.

German band want to be together forever
A German pop band has bought a communal crypt so they can stay together even when the music stops for good.

Three things immediately sprang to mind when reading this article:
1) That’s really creepy.
2) Even for a band that’s been together for 20 years, isn’t this a little presumptous? What if the bass player wants to be buried with his…you know…what are those things called…oh yeah – WIFE?
3) Those wacky, zany Germans are at it again.

And now, your Horoscope for the week.

Once again, it’s time to play CAPTION THE PHOTO!
