Happy early Fourth of July, Dolls!

Time to break out the sparklers and M-80s and watch things get blowed up real good, but maybe not until after work.  In the meantime, here's the news.

  • Lindsey Lohan might have received upwards of $70,000 dollars, just for showing up to a pre-birthday party (NY Post). I know a lot of people think it's ridiculous that this is "work" for Lohan, but none of her friends were there, so she couldn't possibly have had any fun.
  • The recession's hitting college campuses, but Florida International University's eliminating its nationally recognized cheerleading squad before it would dream of cutting any part of its precious football team (College Candy).  Ready, Okay! Our squad is lost, the country's tanked/School took our savings to the bank!  Give it back!  Give it back!  Woo!  Woo. Woo?
  • Turns out, definitions of sex are completely subjective (AP). From a press release issued by the Society for the Painfully Obvious.
  • In a related story, attendance of adult sex education classes is way
    up, including more middle-aged folks than expected (CNN, via Oprah.com).  Maybe the Society for the Painfully Obvious is on to something after all ...
  • More single black women are choosing to adopt after failing to find "qualified" black men (CNN).  Guess that Barack Obama mold's a tougher fit than you might think.
  • Spencer and Heidi turning into conspiracy theorists? (Jezebel) Now they're spreading the "truth" on Twitter.  A regular Woodward and Bernstein of the digital age, those two.
  • McDonald's to start competing with Hardee's/Carl's Jr. by releasing their own line of Angus burgers (MSNBC).  More importantly, though, will McDonald's also be competing with the rival company's douchebaggery?
