Celebrity Buzz Tila Tequila woke up this morning and decided she wanted to get totally naked and rant about her life troubles. Which, don't we all sometimes? But Tila took it to the next level and broadcast the entire naked rant on UStream TV. Snap judgment: Tila Tequila naked is not sufficient incentive to endure Tila Tequila's insane ravings. She has since (mercifully) removed the video. Update: If you didn't get to watch the video, Tila Tequila has “explained” her naked UStream video extravaganza to TMZ. It all makes sense now.
The congressman from Massachusetts dishes some sense out to a lady after she compared Obama to Hitler. These townhalls sure are zesty and productive!

Barney Frank finally says what we wish most politicians would in response to outrageous right wing CRAP submitted by colin_ebert to reddit.com [link] [135 comments] submitted by colin_ebert to reddit.com
This photo was released this morning by the North Korean news agency. This proves two things. One, Bill Clinton was there and did meet with Kim Il Jong; and two, they need much better cameras. Or learn how to photoshop.
TV Buzz Wow. The “Fire David Letterman” protest was small but crazy. NYMag got some particularly vitriolic footage, including comments about Letterman's 5-year-old “bastard” son (their words, not mine). Otherwise, the protest was a total failure, which is not surprising. Sarah Palin 2012!!#@!
Culture Buzz Chaos erupted at the ONLY Popeye's in the state of Minnesota yesterday because they didn't offer their 8 piece chicken combo for $4.99 as nationally advertised. Check out this local news video to see some of this anger first hand.
Our new BFF, YouTube user Edarem, likes TV theme songs, his three dogs, and hasn't gotten a haircut in twenty years. This is just one of many. Also, he might be Abe Vigoda. [UPDATE: Eagle-eyed commenter Alex P. informs us that the guy's name is Ed Muscari, and that he's - oh boy - registered sexual offender, FTW!]
Culture Buzz Meet the “Hipster Grifter,” a 22-year-old Utah fugitive who managed to lie her way into a job at Vice magazine and a lot of sex with Brooklyn boys. It is as easy as telling people you have cancer (and posting images on Flickr to “prove” it). She is still on the run, so if you live in Portland or some other hipster hub, look out.
Celebrity Buzz Project Runway finalist Kenley Collins got arrested for throwing a cat at her sleeping fiance. And a laptop, apples, and water. So many good things used for evil! My favorite thing about Kenley used to be that she was always mentioning how her father was a tugboat captain, as if it's common knowledge that the life of a tugboat captain's child is lonely and difficult. Obviously now I have a new favorite Kenley story.
Politics Buzz The New York Times unearths a bizarre detail about Governor Rod Blagojevich: aides must keep his black Paul Mitchell hairbrush on hand at all times. He calls it “the football,” after the “nuclear football” - the bomb codes that are always within reach of the president. Because f*cking with Rod's insane hair would be as disastrous as nuclear Armageddon. This guy is awesome.
Admittedly, I'm obsessed with totally bonkers diet guru-turned-video blogger Susan Powter, but this video of her praising the joys of an organic pear while essentially giving it some crazy mouth love brings me an unhealthy amount of glee. Looks like she traded “stopping the insanity” for “embracing lots and lots of insanity” (to our sheer delight, of course).
When the owner of an electronics store in the Los Angeles area goes on TV to tell you he's seriously f'n crazy, you better believe he's telling the truth. Because seriously, nobody sells 27 inch TV's for $189! Not in this economy oh no they won't! Except Crazy Gideon…our lone beacon of hope.
This rally for McCain Palin proves that true mavericks have the courage to be racist, ignorant, and hateful! Some people really, really, really don’t want Obama to win. And this is in Pennsylvania - not the deep south! Just watch.
Goofy Auctions compiles a daily list of some of the crazier auctions on Ebay. Also, if you’re wondering…those aren’t pubes. They’re mutton chops, duh.
