+ Man with a knife shot at the Vegas airport. "The system worked." - KTLA

+ Michael Jackson is moving to Europe. Bids adieu to Bahrain. There's nowhere like Neverland, it appears. - CBC

+ Ian McKellen to perform a one-man play at UCLA July 22, 23. Tickets as cheap as $35 for the benefit the Lord of the Rings star is doing to benefit the LA Young Actors Company - BroadwayWorld.com
