Celebrity Buzz Nevermore will you see anything cuter. Here's John Cusack at a screening of “The Raven,” in which he plays a crime fighting Edgar Allan Poe, hence the giant raven. The raven's name? Suge. Honestly.
Sports Buzz Damn, girl! Even I know that Mark Sanchez plays for the Jets and I don't know a thing about football. For shame.
Here's some grainy footage and a grainy photo of Nancy Grace popping out of her top during last night's Dancing With The Stars. Y'know…if you're into that sort of thing. And if you are, my deepest condolences. Also, note the bizarre cutaway shot at the end of the clip. It's stock footage of a passive, silent crowd as the live audience is whooping and hollering at the nip slip.
Darcus Howe, a writer and broadcaster who has lived in London for 50 years, gets into it with a BBC reporter over the rioting that's engulfed England. Howe calls the riots an “insurrection” and is repeatedly interrupted by the reporter (who keeps calling him “Marcus Dowe”) when talking about the abuse of young black men by British police. In exasperation he eventually exclaims, “Show some respect for an old West Indian negro.” (via theatlanticwire.com)
Politics Buzz If the debt crisis is miraculously solved during Obama's presidency this quote may just be remembered. Also if you didn't end up watching Obama's address, you should at least know this line.

A bucket list of live performers.
Lady Gaga duets with 10-year-old Maria Aragon, who became a Youtube star after covering Gaga's Born This Way. How sweet.
Celebrity Buzz A new site dedicated to musicians telling the train wreck tales of their worst live performances. I would pay good money to see a bald Juliana Hatfield get into a fight with a homophobe. Many more accounts of concerts gone awry over at The Worst Gig.
Is Angie Jackson desperate for attention or doing girls everywhere a service by bringing a humane face to such a taboo procedure? Either way, it's a sad day on the internet for babies ): (Sorry, babies.)
TV Buzz One dude needs a place to rest his head …on live TV. Reporterbombing: LOLS without fail.
