Charlie Brooker shows the viewer the proper way to report a news story. If only Anderson Cooper would take a page from this book.*

*A. Coop, you know I’m joking. You can do no wrong.

The star of E!’s Keeping Up With Kardashians joined her new husband, Lamar Odom, and his Los Angeles Lakers teammates for a meet and greet with President Barack Obama in Washington on Monday. It has become a tradition for the champions of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and several college sports to visit the White House following their win and the Lakers descended on DC to celebrate their 2009 NBA championship.

In “We All Saw It Coming” News…

…Sarah Palin has signed a multi-year deal for an undisclosed sum (i.e. a S***load) as a contributor to the Fox News Channel.

Although the formal announcement will be made this afternoon, Sarah Palin’s camp could not be reached for comment. And while many suspected she might pursue some sort of career in television after quitting resigning from her post as the governor of Alaska, it appears her Fox News deal will still allow her plenty of time in her schedule to pursue other endeavors. God help us all. Politician. TV personality. Best selling author. What’s next? President? Wait, I WAS KIDDING! PLEASE, NOOOOO!

by Claudia

Yesterday while at the Miami Dolphins game against the Houston Texans, I had the pleasure of running into and chatting with CNN analyst/ TV One host Roland Martin. After briefly introducing myself when he arrived, I tweeted the following:

@thefullginsburg: Just met @rolandsmartin, a classy guy. He’s at the Dolphins game sporting a Texans jersey. Guess the pinstripe suit isn’t sports attire.

To which he replied:
@TheFullGinsburg man, can’t wear the suit! I’m on vacation! Ain’t a tie in the suitcase! LOL great to meet ya. Thanks for hollerin! Game on!

Man Arrested For Oldest Joke in the Book

2009 December 8

While at a book signing at the Mall of America in Minnesota, Sarah Palin was adored by thousands of fans. But there was at least one man who was far from a fan, and had no problem showing it. A man was arrested for allegedly throwing not one, but TWO, tomatoes at the former Alaskan Governor from a second floor balcony of the mall.

Neither tomato came close to hitting Sarah Palin, but did hit a police officer instead. Whoops!
