• Federline Rocks!!
  
  You know, I really expected the debut album from Kevin Federline (husband of Britney Spears) to suck… but this first single really rocks!




• Kyra Phillips Got A GOOD Man
  
  This is Kyra Phillips, one of the talking heads at CNN. Kyra has a great husband. I know that she does because the good folks at CNN didn't turn off Kyra's microphone when she went to the bathroom during President Bush's recent Hurricane Katrina anniversary speech. Kyra's mic was on the whole time she was in the ladies room, and her audio drowned out the President's speech. Among the things CNN viewers learned were that Kyra's husband is "handsome and he is genuinely a loving, you know, no ego--you know what I'm saying. Just a really passionate, compassionate great, great human being." Viewers also learned that Kyra's brother is married to a real "control freak." CNN offered an apology to everyone who might have been offended… but, personally, I am far more interested in hearing about Kyra's husband than I am in hearing the same old "mistakes were made, human tragedy, people working hard, yadda yadda yadda" speech again a year after the fact. You go, Kyra.



• Nutball Vs. Nutballs
  
  It's hard to know who to root for when it's PETA Vs. Performance Artist for the UK's Grand National Flake Championship of 2006:
  
  

  A naked performance artist who says she experienced fantasies of "interspecies metamorphoses" while working with dead pigs has angered British animal rights activists.
  
  People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals criticized an exhibition where artist Kira O'Reilly sits naked for hours with a dead pig, planned for Friday evening at the Newlyn Art Gallery in Penzance, southwest England…
  
  The exhibition is called "Inthewrongplaceness" and is described on the Tract Live Art Web site as a "slow crushing dance with a pig for one person at a time." About two dozen people have booked to see the exhibition people watch the performance alone, for a maximum of 10 minutes gallery director James Green said.

  
  
  What I want to know is, where's the usually vocal London Muslim population in all this? I mean, come ON! We've got a naked woman and a pig ON ONE STAGE at the SAME TIME! I guess the London Muslims are busy wrapping their heads in duct-tape turbans to keep them from exploding because of this.



• Sympathy For John Voight
  
  Hey, when your estranged daughter is the ever-goofy Angelina Jolie, you're bound to slip up now and then:
  
  

  Angelina Jolie's estranged father Jon Voight sent a shout out to his grandkids Saturday, but it seems like absence makes the memory grow weaker -- he royally screwed up one of the names…
  
  At the fourth annual BAFTA Tea Party (BAFTA is the Oscars for Brits), Voight was talking with a reporter on the red carpet when he decided to send birthday wishes to Maddox, Angelina's five-year-old child… Voight also sent well-wishes to "Shakira" -- problem is, he was talking about Angelina's 1 1/2-year-old daughter… Zahara.

  

  You say Zahara, John says Shakira… Shakira, Zahara, Tequila, Mufasa, let's call the whole thing dumb.




• Toonces Is Alive And Well
  
  The story was actually about a dog trying to drive a car… but the accompanying photo at Cube's blog indicated that Toonces the Driving Cat is alive and well and trying to merge to the right.




• Daniel Edwards Sticks To What Works
  
  Sculptor Daniel Edwards is currently making headlines with two controversial sculptures. One is supposed to be a solid gold true-to-life reproduction of the first bowel movement produced by Tom Cruise's and Katie Holme's newborn daughter. The second one is a topless bust of New York Senator Hillary Clinton:

  

  When asked for an explanation, Edwards said "What can I say? I'm just inspired by over-rated turds."
