    Rihanna is in London recording an album and Jay-Z swooped in to take her out for dinner and champagne and we can't help but wonder if there isn't something going on between these two.

    Or could it be the mentor/student thing that they've been fostering for years, especially since he had her on his label years ago and has verbally threatened to kick Chris Brown's ass much like any big brother would?

    Also, he has the hottest chick in the game wearing his chain.

    Whitney Houston gave serious consideration to giving up music three years ago to move to an island and open a little fruit stand.

    Translation: Three years ago she was super high and she said to herself that moving to Jamaica and smoking weed all day would be totally awesome, omg let's do it!

    I've done that too.

    With her acting talents, it would have been a close call between Megan Fox and Denise Richards' stunning character study of a "nuclear scientist".

    Well I've been saying that the most recent Bond films are ruining the franchise, and I honestly think this is more evidence of it. From Jane Seymour all the way up through Famke Janssen, it used to be that being a Bond girl was considered a career launching point. Now it's considered career suicide. If you look at the actual article, it's not just Megan Fox that turned this down.

    I know how much the last two films have grossed, but I still say Daniel Craig is the new Timothy Dalton. And there definitely already seemed to be some Craig fatigue among audiences last time out.

    @badasscat:

    As soon as Bond stopped smoking everything fell apart. On the bright side, though, you can now watch the original Casino Royale on youtube with minimal commercial interruptions.

    Not actually sure why this was offered up for us, either. Surely there were less gruesome ways of illustrating the cost of the financial crisis? It seems kind of mean to open fire on a suicide--i mean, he clearly had enough problems, didn't he? And now he's left behind a wife, two children, and a miserable holiday memory. "Merry Christmas--oh, sorry."

    I would not want to work at a five star hotel these days. You might walk in on something that is going to require some therapy.

    Clusterstock did a story on the whispers of Wall Street suicides...

    If this is true, all I can say is "what a total prick leaving a wife and two kids with the ruins of his life."

    @bittergreen: He may have thought it better to leave money to his family upon his death (though I guess suicide usually doesn't count as accidental death w/ life insurance). I just know he had to be low. Very, very low. And anyone who's ever lost a loved one to suicide knows the selfish thing often has nothing to do with it. It's about people completely unable to see a way out of whatever kind of torture they're in. So, you know, let's not judge hastily. It's sad he left a family behind, but let's not judge this gentleman. Let's judge Madoff some more instead.

    I don't understand why it's called a "reverse Ponzi scheme." From my understanding it was just a Ponzi scheme. The only difference this time around was that instead of duping unsuspecting and unsophisticated individual investors, this guy took foreign sovereign investors and hedge funds for a ride.
