Something has really been bothering me for the past week or so about the recent Oscar ceremony. A lot of people were appalled when Heath Ledger was featured in the Oscar tribute to the recently deceased and Brad Renfro was not.

Wait, wait, wait, stop the presses.

I was just reading the news and came across a column on the low down of the recent writer's strike. I really didn't pay much attention to the strike because very little of the programming I watch on TV was affected by it. ( However, to be perfectly honest, I generally don't like unions... )

So I was watching late night TV last week and I flipped over to CNN and they were going on at length about this Britney Spears business at the MTV Video Music Awards the other night.

Well, those jeans just got cut lower. A lot lower. Exhibit A:

This was a little news item from a couple of months ago that I forgot to post about. I just happened to stumble across it and I haven't heard anything about it since, so without further ado:
