Al Gore is renewing his 30-year campaign to convince skeptics of the link between climate change and extreme weather events this week in a 24-hour global multi-media event. Which means polar bears aren't safe from melting ice caps OR boring Power Point presentations.


The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is being blamed on poor management decisions. And a poorly chosen mascot -- Oily, the leaky oil pipe.


The Easy Bake Oven has been remodeled. It's the exact same oven, except that the new model isn't big enough to fit a little brother's head in to.


A new book about Sarah Palin says she used illegal drugs and had an extra-marital affair with an NBA player. And here Sarah thought the only bump in her campaign would be running over that Democrat with her tour bus.


A "Survivor All Star" contestant is considering a run for Indiana governor. And he could win, too, if it comes down to who can balance longest on a log.


A New York court says Prince should pay almost $4 million to a perfume company that claimed he hobbled its efforts to market a perfume named for his "Purple Rain" album. It's just as well since the perfume company was thinking about calling it the perfume formerly known as perfume.


The U.S. has fallen to fifth place in global competitiveness. We may be fifth in global competitiveness, but we're still first in sweatpants.


A new British study indicates most babies can start sensing pain a few weeks before they are born. Which means you should never show a very pregnant woman "Hot Tub Time Machine".


Snooki and Anderson Cooper got a spray tan together. It's all part of the "Jersey Shore" cycle -- drink, vomit, get a spray tan with a CNN reporter, repeat.


Jury selection has begun in the underwear bomber case. The most exciting part of this trial will be when the defense tries unsuccessfully to fit the underpants in question into a leather glove.


Rising seas are expected to wipe out California's beaches by century's end. It's true -- the seas will rise so far, Lindsay Lohan will be forced to take her shirt off in another movie to keep it from getting wet.


President Obama's approval rating is way down. At this point it's dropped below Snooki levels and is on its way down to Charlie Sheen.
