We're packing up and calling it a day, partly because we enjoy time off, too, and partly because most of you lovely readers are off gallivanting around your hometowns in search of the perfect turkey for the big day. We'll be back after the holiday, but until then, warm wishes to you and yours.
The celebrities are evidently hibernating thanks to the descent of winter, so instead of boring you with news of Full House's Stephanie Tanner's divorce or Travis Barker's lawsuit against the makers of the plane that crashed a couple months ago or Jessica Simpson's lame reaction to becoming an aunt, here's a riveting video of a cat on a Roomba. Happy weekend!
So here I am, lounging in the living room with my cat, enjoying some macaroni and cheese and Paris Hilton's My New BFF when I suddenly lose my appetite thanks to a parade of skanks on my television. Yes, A Shot at Love is back — but this time STD-ridden Tila Tequila is not involved. WTF?! It's like I don't even know MTV anymore.
Tila's replacement(s): The Ikki Twins, Rikki and Vikki. Classy. I googled this nonsense and the only thing that popped up was this cheap Web site, which told me absolutely nothing. Looks like MTV isn't exactly feeling loud and proud about its latest travesty.
Sadly, not everyone made it through election season with all of their senses intact. The View mediator Whoopi Goldberg issued a cry for help on today's show when she proceeded to read a letter to Barack Obama — "written" by her cat, Oliver. Barbara Walters voiced her concern, but Whoopi soldiered on, delivering a solid three minutes of awkwardness and uncomfortable giggles (skip to the 2:15 mark).
Someone needs a vacation.
• This video of a cat trying to fit in a yogurt box is strangely captivating. [CityRag]
• Jennifer Aniston is reportedly pregnant with twins. Of course she is. [Yeeeah]
• Paris Hilton lost last night's presidential election. How did this happen?! [PS]
• Anne Hathaway's new boyfriend is about 500 steps up from her last. [INO]
• Hollywood's newest love muffin, Robert Pattinson: “I always get carried away when I’m kissing people. I just go nuts.” Swoon! [ICYDK]

Stuck without a Halloween costume to wear tonight? Don't panic — we have seven fool-proof ideas to impress your friends and guarantee you extra candy (or at least a few concerned looks), all inspired by some of our favorite celebrities. They're not exactly scary in the traditional sense, but these costumes are frightening nonetheless. Don't say we never do anything for you.
When you're done, feel free to guess what Whitney will be dressing up as for Halloween (Cord accidentally revealed his costume already). Winner gets a free Internet hug and pride.
Ali and Dina Lohan ruined cats for everyone last night at Animal Fair Magazine's Halloween pet costume party in NYC. The 14-going-on-45-year-old strutted around in cat ears and a white mesh tank, which … no. Just no.
Forget the animals for a second — is there some sort of charity that can benefit the Lohans and buy them some anonymity and/or class? CONTINUED »
• Because you can never have too many heartwarming tales involving animals. [DListed]
• Something's off with Nicole Richie's body proportions. [HT]
• Pink says she's "proud" to be mistaken for a lesbian: "I don’t care. I love to challenge people’s preconceptions." Fair enough. [Yeeeah]
• The "Izzie's getting killed off of Grey's Anatomy!" rumors are making a comeback. We're still on board with anything involving less Katherine Heigl. [ICYDK]
• Jennifer Aniston sinks her claws back into Gerard Butler. Why can't everyone just leave G.But alone? [PS]
• Paris Hilton and Benji Madden have a rule stating they can't go more than a week without seeing each other. It's similar to Paris' other rule that she can't go a day without being photographed. [INO]
A woman spent $3 million dollars on a Superbowl ad in hopes of catching the perfect beer-gut slouch of a husband. You can tell that Amy Borkowsky here is desperate because she describes her age as "somewhere between Carrie and Samantha," and also refers to dating as "a game," meaning she's read that Neil Strauss book from front to back.
• Who wants to look like Victoria Beckham? Anyone? … Anyone? [ICYDK]
• What cats do while their owners are sleeping. [CityRag]
• Britney Spears doesn't have to shave her armpits, but she also doesn't have to raise her arms over her head in front of photographers. [Yeeeah]
• The Brangelina army will be adding more soldiers in the near future. [DListed]
• Heath Ledger's ex Michelle Williams steps out with her new boyfriend, Spike Jonze. Good for her. [INO]
• Audrina Patridge seems to have forgiven ex Justin Bobby for "hooking up" (but not really) with her former BFF Lauren Conrad. Naturally, she's still pissed at LC. [PS]

Faithful Mollygood reader stopthemadness must be psychic, because we were just thinking yesterday that it had been too long since we'd caught up with Spaghetti Cat. Lo and behold, a few hours later we received this clip in our inbox, featuring SC in his latest movie role. It brings a tear to our eye to know that our little baby is growing up and making it big. (And thanks to Keeblerkahn, who made the discovery.)
Our favorite part is at the 0:50 mark, when SC uses his paw to dodge multiple bullets. What a cat.
This is the saddest thing we've seen today: Charlie, an adorable, innocent gray cat, was stuck in his owner's toilet thanks to the lady's 3-year-old son. Luckily, she called 911 and the authorities came to rescue the kitty, but only after the poor thing spent a traumatic amount of time splashing around for his life. Nobody knows for sure how the cat ended up stuck in the toilet in the first place, but we know: Cats don't just accidentally fall into a pool of water. That kid did it.
Facebook has caught on to the Spaghetti Cat craze, which has officially legitimized the feline's celebrity. But unfortunately for SC, who is now featured in the SuperPoke application, he is being falsely represented by a Hello Kitty impostor (as accurately pointed out by rumour has it). Would it have killed the designers to at least make the cat black, if they weren't going to use the actual image of SC? This is an outrage.
GENIUS "A Pennsylvania woman who thought she was petting a neighbor's cat got a smelly surprise when it turned out to be a skunk. Not only did the skunk spray the woman before dawn Monday, but it ran into her Mount Carmel home."
Sometimes our readers do something so brilliant it's worth recognition, and this is one of those instances. Thanks to killorn for putting together a lovely tribute to Spaghetti Cat, which features the feline among other great American symbols. It's truly touching.
The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet finally acknowledged the mystery that is Spaghetti Cat, the hungry feline who first popped up on the show unexpectedly a few weeks ago during a segment on binge drinking. Since then, America has fallen in love with SC, but we have never quite understood where he came from. Turns out Spaghetti Cat (who also answers to "Bowtie Head") is a real animal with an ability to eat food with utensils, thanks to his crazy owner. Impressive.
I would also like to take this moment to publicly apologize to my roommate, whom I yelled at two nights ago for actually thinking Spaghetti Cat was a real animal (yes, I talk about SC a lot, I'm in love). I still don't quite understand how a cat has shoulders, but that's part of Spaghetti Cat's charm.
Here's something Paris Hilton is going to love: Kitty Wigs. Seriously. We're talking about wigs for cats. Why the hell anyone would stick a head of fake hair on their cat is beyond us, but here's what the creators have to say: "Kitty Wigs are a fun prop to be used to enhance playtime with your feline friends. They're especially fun for photo sessions." Sounds like a death wish.
Click through for photos of all four styles, along with the most ridiculous descriptions ever. (My cat has no interest in looking tan, thankyouverymuch.) CONTINUED »
