Today is Columbus Day, which always draws attention to the famed sailor/explorer, and still churns up controversy. I hear the latest is that there is no evidence that he came to America legally.

Speaking of Columbus, protesters showed up and blocked the route of a city parade to honor the historic figure in Denver, CO. This forced the parade participants to sail all the way around the southern tip of Africa to get to Asia.

Columbus has become a figure of much dispute, from Native Americans who argue that he can’t be credited with “discovering” a land with indigenous people and culture. Even more than that, he is despised by the Flat Earth Society.



Over the weekend Pamela Anderson got married to Paris Hilton’s ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon, who infamously made a sex tape with Hilton, allegedly without her permission. Asked why she married Saloman, Pamela said that after Kid Rock, he was her only way to sink lower.

Anderson’s own sex video with ex-husband Tommy Lee was also widely publicized, and these two getting married is pretty much the amateur porn equivelant of Alien vs. Predator: there’s nothing interesting about the story, and no one to root for, but people still want to see the two of them go at it.




Martha Stewart dedicated an outpatient clinic for the elderly today in a ribbon-cutting ceremony in New York. The $5 million facility can only provide care for 2 to 4 people, but will do so in amazing style with vibrant surroundings.

When outpatients no longer need the care of the facility, Martha will set them up with jobs in a textile sweatshop.



Lindsay Lohan checked out of a drug and alcohol treatment program today. Lohan seemed optimistic upon leaving the Utah rehab facility, and is already looking forward to going straight back to doing drugs and alcohol.

For her misdemeanor drunk driving and cocaine charge in August, Lohan must perform community service. So, as a service to the community, she won’t be in any movies for a while.

Although, I personally would like to see her in a pre-rehab reality show called Lindsay Lohan: Fully Loaded.
