March 7, 2014

There's nothing like a reunion with loved ones to bring warmth and sunshine into a cold, gloomy day.

An 18-year-old honor student is suing her parents for her college tuition. Ironically, the daughter is calling her parents spoiled. Another attorney has filed a defamation lawsuit against a court-appointed psychologist who labelled him "wholly incapable" of caring for his 4-year-old son simply because the father wouldn't take him to McDonald's. Does anyone remember when there was some kind of honor to the legal profession?

Ellen Degeneres posted a cell phone picture of herself and a number of celebrities from the Oscars Sunday night, and the picture (which, by the way, is not technically a selfie, no matter how many people call it that) has been creditted with bringing down Twitter. But it's an interesting comment on celebrity that the highlight of the Oscars was when Ellen had pizza delivered to the audience. For the first time, I wished I'd been there.

The world's oldest living person, who turned 116 this week, credits her longevity to eating and sleeping. That does it: from now on, I'll be taking all my meals in bed. I hope all the guests to my future dinner parties don't mind.

What does it mean that accident statistics generate warnings against no-brainer dangers like texting and driving, but with all the divorces, jail sentences, and tragedies, they're still finding people willing to go on "reality" TV?

Maybe it is better to be square, if all it takes to be cool is saying things like "Allrat, allrat, allrat".

More and more men are reportedly paying plastic surgeons as much as $8500 to have hair surgically transferred from other parts of their body (such as hair and back) to their faces. But what about guys who can't grow hair on those places either? Perhaps the rest of us can save our shavings and sell them. The scary part is that I can see it happening.

When the cast list for next season's Dancing With the Stars was announced this week, did you think the same thing I did? "Dancing With the Stars is still on the air?"

The lab report that FilmOn.com CEO Alki David produced to prove that 31-year-old performer Brandon Howard is the son of the late Michael Jackson has been exposed as not only a fake, but a poorly constructed fake. Again, stupid lies are just adding insult to injury. Meanwhile, Brandon tells the press that he wants nothing from the estate of Michael Jackson. I assume all this publicity was enough.

And now, a word that may or may not be directed to someone in particular: yes, there really is such a thing as a crap weasel, and no, being called one is nota compliment.
