News You Can Use

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!

OK, last post about the TRL finale, we swear. We tried to sit through the entire two and a half hour extravaganza, but we just couldn't. Our willpower is not yet that strong. We did, however, catch the interview with Travis Barker, one of the first glimpses of the musician since the September plane crash that killed four and injured Travis and DJ AM. He didn't seem to be 100 percent, obviously, but he looked to be healthy and upbeat, painful interviews aside.

What Beer Money Buys

Never has elitism been so easy to see.

Check out this handy-dandy breakdown of the presidential candidates' homes and vehicles, and get ready to puke at the extravagance of Barack Obama, the elitist. I mean, seriously, a Ford Hybrid? What objectionable decadence. I sure hope John McCain can find respite from that unrelatable jerk in one of his eight homes (maverick mansions?), or on his private jet.

Click through for the large version.

Four Killed, Two Injured

Travis Barker and DJ AM survived a Learjet crash late Friday night that killed the other four people on board the plane. The two men were admitted to burn units and listed in critical condition.

Travis and DJ AM had performed at a concert Friday with Gavin DeGraw and former Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell, but Gavin and Perry were not on the plane. Of the four who died, two were pilots, one was a security guard and one was Travis' 26-year-old assistant, who was recently married and had a baby.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane was taking off when air traffic controllers reported seeing sparks; the plane then went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road, where it burst into flames. Travis was burned from the waist down; DJ AM's face suffered severe burns. Both men are expected to survive.

Our thoughts are with the families of the deceased.

This season of 'Lost' has really jumped the shark

Ed Robertson is the frontman of Barenaked Ladies, which means he is at least partly responsible for that "One Week" song that ruined the entire year of 1998. That doesn't explain why he seems to be one of God's chosen children; Robertson's private plane crashed in Canada yesterday afternoon and all four passengers managed to walk off unharmed.

'There’s not a scratch on any of them,' said the source. Another source who asked to remain anonymous said it was obvious something was very wrong today.
