		<description><![CDATA[And so Barry Bonds is being indicted.  Again.  Really.  After we had forgotten, for the most part, about the whole BALCO scandal, about the whole steroid issue, about who was juicing whom.  We had gotten out of heads the horrifying images of Jose Canseco sticking a needle into Mark McGwire’s butt.  But when we think back, we scratch our heads as we try to remember how and why Barry Bonds somehow became the Big Fat Liar who needs to be hunted like a dog.  Out of all of the Major League players who went from reed-thin to freakishly muscular in less than an off-season, it is Bonds whom prosecutors wanted to take down, and, like rabid bulldogs, they continue to hold on.  And whither Mark McGwire, Mike Piazza, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, and Pudge Rodriguez?  Did showing up in court wearing bifocals make some of them appear frail enough to cause the grand jury to dismiss the idea that they had been using steroids?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here we have the stories of two rappers with—ahem—colorful backgrounds who have each done things that have landed them in trouble with the police, with women, with gays, with just about everyone.  Remember Tipper Gore and the PMRC going after bands like 2 Live Crew?  The game has changed, and Lil Wayne and Eminem are two of the men leading the profanity parade.  But somehow, for some absolutely inexplicable reason, they are irresistible, and pulled in huge numbers performing together on Saturday Night Live last night.  Of course, they have to tone down their language on network television, but their performances didn’t suffer for it.  How can this be?  And why do we watch?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Through all of this, Favre has been seen throwing lightly and rubbing his arm.  With a 297-game streak, he was expected to give up on the dramatics shortly before game time to bring his number to 298.  I recall a disagreement I had with my brother in the 1990s regarding Cal Ripken Jr.’s consecutive games streak.  He argued that there comes a point when a player should bow out and do what is best for the team.  I argued that what was best for the team was to see the dedication of an older player who might only stay in for a few innings but show what commitment really is.  But football is not baseball.  There’s a big difference between third basemen who has lost a few steps and a quarterback who can’t throw.  A streak is a great thing, but Favre already has the NFL record of consecutive games started and a hefty ring covered in diamonds from Superbowl XXXI.  He’s achieved just about every possible award he can win, and he pays the fans and his teams back by doing the “will I, won’t I” game every chance he gets.  He did it so much that the Packers sent him packing, even though he had been a fan favorite and was still a great QB.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Either our Anderson lost count or the silver-haired cutie-pie is a lightweight.  So a bunch of random folks in London got to witness the most eccentric musician of this era drinking one of the most respected journalists of this era under the table.  Sure, everyone and their second cousins have their camera phones out when the yahoos from Jersey Shore get into another bar fight, but no one in that city thought an interesting photo-op might develop when Anderson Cooper and Lady Gaga walk in to a pub together?  Now I know where to go if I ever plan to make an ass of myself.  Londoners don’t care who you are.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To paraphrase a great vice-presidential debate from the not-so-distant past, “Mr. O’Reilly, you are no Homer Simpson.” When a Fox News political commentator takes time out of his busy health care-bashing schedule to take a jab at a cartoon, there’s something not quite right. Maybe if you go on The Daily Show and have Jon Stewart throwing political barbs at you, you might need to defend yourself—or at least smirk and say nothing.  Oh, wait, you did that.  But when you get hostile towards a show made famous by an underachieving kid and a donut-eating father who sings to his pet pig, maybe it’s time to re-prioritize.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While the Queen busies herself with formal parties and fireworks and all those things befitting someone of Prince William’s political stature, Prince Harry is doing things in his own gingey way.  The Queen, for example, is planning a staid engagement party that will involve heads of state, formal gowns, bowing, and kissing of rings and behinds.  Meanwhile, Harry is working on a bash that will involve performances by Snoop Dogg and British rapper Tinie Tempah.  The boys already met Tinie at the Wireless Festival and asked him to perform for them, and Harry plans to approach Snoop when the rapper and his entourage arrive in London next week.  Oh, to be in on that little get-together.  We can only hope that Harry remembers to ask in between “pass me those Cheetos, willya?” and “puff, puff, give!”  If we can rely on any of the royals to throw a good party, it will be the ginger-haired man-boy with the devilish grin.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tommy Hollywood is a better-looking version of The Situation, and he comes complete with diamonds on his watch, diamond stud earrings, and Ed Hardy t-shirts.  Instead of Gym-Tan-Laundry, however, he does, Gym-Tan-Six Different Hair Products.  He lists them.  Basically, all of the characters on the show are more like caricatures of Jersey Shore cast members, who are already bad stereotypes of everything that New Jersey and New York would rather hide.  It’s the rest of the US that watches.   Just as the most avid viewers of Lake Shore are likely to be from the most remote reaches of Saskatchewan and beyond.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that while the film was shooting scenes in Bangkok, Clinton was there delivering a speech on clean energy.  Of course, it’s easy to see why the intern-lovin’ 42nd President might want to spend some time in Thailand, but the point is that he was there, the film crew was there, and it worked out.  A good ol’ boy like Clinton probably loved The Hangover, which was really, outrageously funny, so playing himself in the sequel was a no-brainer.  Put together a bunch of guys playing overgrown boys and one who is still best known for not having a Tide To Go instant stain remover handy and you’ve got movie magic.  Clean energy, yes.  Clean dress, no.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s truly a lovely thought, and it would get plenty of attention.  But how much credibility can a place have when it’s started by someone who’s been in and out of rehab more times than most people have been into bars?  While we can all only hope that it works this time for the 24 year-old, it’s tough when her support network is relying on her failure for their next paychecks.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems that almost everyone wants to dress up as either Lady Gaga or one of the little disasters from Jersey Shore.  T-shirts with silk-screened abs are very popular, and Snooki wigs are hopping off of the shelves like lice out of the Smush Room.  But with Lady Gaga, there are so many choices as to which fashion disaster one can mimic.  Drag queens all over the world are finding themselves in quite a quandary.  Is it practical and financially possibly to acquire and dismember enough Kermit the Frog dolls to recreate Gaga’s infamous frog frock?  Is it safe to walk around in fishnets, a bra, and a Yankees Jersey?]]></description>
