Oh look links, how cute.


- To help facilitate a comeback, a sober Lindsay Lohan decided that she needed to expand on the dozens...uh few hundred...people she had already showed her goods to. In NY Magazine, Ms. Lohan will be recreating Marilyn Monroe's last nude photo shoot. She may be a skank, but she's a damn good looking one. Links are both to Defamer and NY Mag. Hi res pics on WWTDD.

- The last time I saw 5 white dudes on a basketball court, all on the same team, was a movie starring Gene Hackman and Dennis Hopper. No word on if the picket fence was run or not.

- Former First Lady Nancy Reagan was hospitalized in LA over the weekend, due to a fall. Mrs. Reagan is doing well. She is 86 years old.

- From Idolator. Apparently it hasn't been long enough since R. Kelly pissed on a 13 year old girl that people have forgotten. R. Kelly had an affair with his former publicists daughter, who is reported to be above age, and her parents are pissed, (pun definately intended). Hmmm, must've been during school hours. Zing!

- Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has been criticized for plagiarizing a speech during a campaign stop this past weekend and not being upfront about it. See the comparison below, and here.




The modern day hot foot.

I'm not one who likes to give any praise to anything Philadelphia Phillies, but this is pretty funny. Resident baseball douschbag Brett Myers apparently likes to set up pranks when not pitching, or hitting women.

Phillie Assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr. and Manager Charlie Manuel, helped Myers to set up pitcher Kyle Kendrick by telling him that he was traded to the Japanese powerhouse Yomiuri Giants for a player named "Kobayashi Iwamura."

The quote Myers, they got Kendrick "hook, line, and sinker," even though trades between MLB and international leagues are prohibited. Props to the media, Kendricks agent, and othe rplayers involved for pulling this off. Even more props to Brett Myers who apparently didn't verbally assault anybody, call anybody a retard, or hit a woman during the duration of this prank. Great restraint Brett, class act all the way.

See the prank below.
