Nine are dead in Omaha, Nebraska today after a man opened fire in a shopping mall, and then shot himself. Police do not have a motive so far.
Did you have this conversation this morning? "Sorry, boss, I can't come in to work today...a terrible cough, I, uh, flu symptoms, definitely -- what waves? Uh, I don't know what you're talking about...." Lots of SoCal surfers took a sick day and busted out on some sick waves.
Warner Brothers and Crewest Gallery are sponsoring a graffiti battle downtown tomorrow, in anticipation of the upcoming Will Smith post-apocalyptic sci-fi crazy-town flick "I Am Legend." I just love the post-apocalypse.
What with all this strike kerfuffle, it might have totally slipped your mind that the Grammy Noms are coming out tomorrow, early in the morning. Go buy the Feist album now! Go! Go! She is the anti-Amy Winehouse!
LA Weekly eulogizes Evel Knievel, and slips in some shit-talking on Joe Eszterhas: "I wondered if Eszterhas’ beef with Knievel was that he’d found someone more opportunistic and megalomaniacal than himself."
Oh my god, you guys, I am so over snarky blogs thinking they can tell us what's cool! Oh. Wait. Nevermind. Defamer gives us a rundown on Scabby McScabberson Carson Daly's return to nighttime.
Ford has delivered the first plug-in hybrid vehicle to SoCal Edison for testing, the partnership "is the start of a two-year pilot program between Ford and Edison that will eventually have consumers testing the vehicles." Sign me up for the beta!
Lose a home in a terrible fire...win an iPod! A bunch of kids in Poway got free video iPod nanos that Apple donated to their school. What, they couldn't spring for the iPhones?
Although there was no sign of foul play, county officials will be investigating the untimely death of Pimp C -- toxicology tests could take up to six weeks.

I'd rather be Amy Winehouse than Feist.

Am I the only one that sees Tony in about 15 years in the above picture?
