It is only coming out now that during the past season, things had become tense with Simon Cowell, who didn’t like having a judge on the panel who was more butch than him.
With Simon Cowell gone and Kara DioGuardi also rumored to be leaving the show, this means that Randy Jackson is the winner.
In fact to boost ratings, next season’s competition will just be b-list celebrities vying for the title of American Idol Judge.
“Another Side of Rice”
The Vampire Chronicles author Anne Rice says she has given up Christianity. Sheesh. Talk about taking the success of Twilight hard.
Rice says she wants to focus on things she finds easier to believe in. Like vampires.
Rice says she will continue to follow Christ her own way. In her version, Jesus rises from the dead, is sensual but asexual, becomes a charismatic but reluctant leader, and chronicles his travels for his followers. Oh, and he’s called Lestat.
“Matter of Degrees”

http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2010-07-29-prostate-cancer_N.htm
A new medical study headed by the director of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey says that many men are receiving prematurely invasive or overly aggressive prostate treatment. Especially in prison, from their cellmates.

“Gimme Shelter”
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2010-07-28-doomsday28_ST_N.htm?csp=hf
There has been a sharp increase in the planning and purchase of ‘doomsday shelters,’ akin to the bomb shelters of the Cold War 1950’s. The shelters are designed to protect inhabitants in the event of a nuclear threat, terrorist attack, or a Mel Gibson phone call.
The shelters can house one to several families depending on the size, and are perfect for calamities such as war, natural disaster, and the housing market.
The trick is to get your family inside before the Big One hits. And by Big One, of course, we mean Mortgage Foreclosure.
Some opponents of the shelter include academics who say they promote fear and paranoia. Others give the idea their full support, such as the makers of flashlight batteries, hand-crank radios, and canned foods.

An ocean biology study says that the world’s plankton level has dropped 40% since the 1950’s. The cause, scientists say, is a combination of global warming and the plankton’s obsession with tricking Spongebob Squarepants into giving up the Krabby Patty formula.

“French Twist”
France has declared war on al-Qaida in the wake of the killing of a kidnapped aid worker who was a French citizen. This is a much stronger stance than France has yet taken against al-Qaida, and is a big step up from just using sanctions to try to deprive them of Jerry Lewis.
France may not have the strongest military in the world, but they are the snootiest.
The French are ready to attack. First, they blind the enemy in a cloud of cigarette smoke, and then they raise their arms and kill them with body odor.
“Playing the Foal”
A baby was born between a zebra and a donkey at a Wildlife Preserve in Dahlonega. Reports say the donkey father must really have been up to stripe.
The little offspring, called a zedonk, is very cute, but he does everything half-assed.
The baby has a solid-colored body but striped legs. The other animals had started to make fun of her, but then 80’s-style leg warmers came back into style in the animal world, and she became the most popular animal at the preserve.

“Tag – You’re It”
Wal-Mart stores are planning to start using electronic ID tags on merchandise to track inventory, but some privacy watchdogs are concerned about or customer tracking. A Wal-Mart spokesman reassured consumers that the ID tags are harmless. Until you turn 30 and they light up red. Then, run!
The tags carry information about the products being sold, such as size, for stocking and inventory. Of course, it doesn’t take electronic tags to see that most Wal-Mart customers sizes are XL, XXL, and XXXL.
Despite privacy concerns, Wal-Mart assures that, like their employees, the tags will have no other benefits.

Security video from a Chase Bank in
The robber will be pursued by a rebel alliance against the galactic empire.
Vader's excuse was that the Empire is facing a record deficit.
The branch manager was unafraid, telling Darth, “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.”
George Lucas and Steven Spielberg plan to digitally remove the gun from the video.
In Vader's defense, Emperor Palpatine just threatened to cut all Empire employees to minimum wage until the galactic budget is balanced.
The frightened bank teller, whose own father was killed by a bank robber, was in disbelief when Vader, just before fleeing, revealed to the teller, “No - I am your father.”
“Power Move”
A House of Representatives energy panel is seeking legislation to push for half of US cars to be electric by the year 2030. Coincidentally, that’s the same time frame as the cleanup of the oil in the Gulf.

To motivate Americans who are reluctant to make the change, Congress wants to make electric cars the only ones that will work with a Blu-ray player or iPod.

"GLEE-ful Response"
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that competitive cheerleading is not an official sport. Responded Glee’s cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester:
“So, judge, cheerleading’s not a sport? I’d like to take the stand, please, your honour. I, three-time National Cheerleading Championship coach and local television celebrity Sue Sylvester, swear to smack your face, your whole face, and nothing but your face, so help me Madonna.
“Now see if you can get your hairpiece around this, judge: What makes a sport is the competition. Take gymnastics. Sport, right? Does it offer equal competitive opportunity to everyone? Maybe wheelchair kids should be allowed to pole vault. None of those pole vaulters land on their feet like in real vaulting anyways, and there’s already a mattress there to catch ‘em. Now I’m a realist. Not everything competitive qualifies; some athletic ability is necessary. Chess isn’t a sport. Chess is for nerds who are too old for checkers but too poor to buy all the maps and figurines or whatever you need for Dungeons and Dragons.
“If you want to define sports, then pay attention and get your head in the game, and if it’ll fit, your fat, weak body, too. We are talking about physical activities, here. And just because lifting a forkful of pie to your mouth makes you sweat, the strain doesn’t make it a physical activity. I ought to pull that stupid black robe over your head and beat you with your own gavel ‘til you cry ‘game over.’
“Now listen up. Here’s a rule so easy even you can understand it. Anything that is ranked on scorecards is a sport. Except diving. That just bores me to tears. You want to make diving an interesting sport? Take the water out of the pool. My point is, scorecards are the key. That means these events are already being judged, and by professionals, instead of appointed posers like you. Maybe that means Dancing with the Stars belongs on ESPN. I don’t know; I don’t care. All I know is that life is a serious competition, and I’m in it to win it.
“So with all due respect, your honour, instead of putting all my Cheerios’ hard work and my expert coaching in the dock, how about you decide if it’s a sport to try to retrieve the scales of justice from out of your ass? You say cheerleading’s not a sport? I say, ‘over-ruled.’
“And that’s how Sue ‘C’s’ it.”

Preferring to work with someone he knows, Mel has requested the investigation be led by Deputy Sugar-t*ts.

A man trying to smuggle 18 tiny titi monkeys was detained at a Mexican airport. The police had become suspicious when they heard 18 pairs of tiny clapping cymbals.
The man had begun acting nervous when a passerby had asked, “Is that a banana in your pocket…?”
The monkeys themselves are from South America, and would have been safe from arrest as long as they didn’t go to
The man had been traveling with the titi monkeys with only two worries: that he might get caught, or that the monkeys might start flinging their own poo.
Titi monkeys are endangered, especially if you stuff 18 of them in your shirt.
The police did a fine job, but may face sexual harassment charges for having said, “Pull up your shirt and show us your titis.”
“Pants-Suit Settlement”
The Mississippi school district that cancelled the senior prom rather than let lesbian student Constance McMillen attend with her girlfriend will pay $35,000 to settle the ACLU’s lawsuit, and adopt a non-discrimination policy. The only losers here are the straight boy-girl couples, whose prom still got cancelled but they get paid nothing.
Had McMillan been able to just attend her prom, general precedent suggests the romantic night might have begun with a lousy dinner followed by awkward dancing, and ended with getting too drunk for sex at a vacant lot after-party.

“Information Leak”
BP’s ruptured oil well in the Gulf has been determined to be leaking some oil from the cap placed on it last week, but not enough to be a major concern for now. This is part of BP’s new “What the hell difference does it make any more?” campaign.
BP says, if necessary, they can always pull down the cap’s earflaps.
Just in case, BP is cautiously preparing another round of unlikely solutions with names even more ridiculous than “top kill.”
“Safer Sex”
A biotech company called Gilead Sciences has developed and antiretroviral gel that seems to cut women’s risk of contracting HIV and herpes. This is seen as great news by both the science community and sluts.
The gel’s effectiveness may be dependant upon its correct application. If a woman dumps it all over her, she will cut her risk of exposure to HIV or herpes because fewer men will want to have sex with her.
The gel is applied vaginally, though some women have expressed a preference for an oral method.
The gel will require more analysis before it would become publicly available. The scientists would like to continue testing it on horny, uninfected women for many, many years.

Mel has countered with the accusation that, as part of a conspiracy, Oksana went to a Jewish dentist.
In the audio tapes released over the last two weeks, Mel threatened to set fire to the house and burn it to the ground. Now, of course, he denies the very idea of any such holocaust.

A French Newspaper reported that Paris Hilton was briefly detained in the Corsica airport after drug-sniffing dogs allegedly smelled a small amount of marijuana in her bag. Turns out her dog Tinker-bell was getting high.
Carrying a bag made officers suspicious, since Paris can fit all her belongings in her vagina.

BP says its new cap has finally cut off the flow of oil leaking into the Gulf. Not to quick to pat themselves on the back, BP admits that it will still take a lot of work for them to come up with better ways to try to destroy the world.
BP was able to successfully choke off the flow of oil by pretending that they were holding onto the throats of all the Gulf area’s environmentalists, fishermen, and residents.
“Rehab or Rehash?”
Lindsay Lohan, who is supposed to surrender to begin her 90-day jail sentence July 20, checked into rehab Thursday. Lindsay’s move may be calculated: a lot of addicts sneak drugs into rehab, so Lindsay is looking for a score.
A lot of people think Lindsay only checked into rehab to try to get out of her jail sentence. That’s so cynical. Lindsay is way too high to realize she’s really going to jail.

The town council of Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina voted this week to ban yelling, singing or whistling on public streets. Sadly, all town construction will abruptly come to an end, when all construction workers who see an attractive woman go to jail.

The device should lengthen Cheney’s life expectancy several hundred more years.
To keep the device going, Cheney only needs a continuous supply of fresh blood from living human victims.
Cheney is recovering and looking forward to resuming an active life, looming in dark shadows, manipulating Washington puppet politicians, and shooting friends in the face.

Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston told Us Weekly that they are back together as a couple and are again engaged to be married. Bristol is thrilled at the idea of her baby daddy raising their 18 month-old son Tripp, and Levi is thrilled ‘cause he already knows Bristol puts out.
Sarah Palin apparently did not know the big news before it broke in Us Weekly, but she has to be impressed with her daughter’s priorities and values. With any big life decision, the most important thing is to go straight to the media.
The couple has yet to decide where they will honeymoon and when they’ll divorce.
