Spend Christmas In The Christmas Story House Rather Than Your Own Boring House

Spend Christmas In The Christmas Story House Rather Than Your Own Boring House

It’s not quite Thanksgiving yet, but it’s never too early to start thinking about Christmas.
 

And what better way to spend Christmas than reliving a movie about Christmas. On eBay, you can bid to stay in the house from A Christmas Story for Christmas Eve and Morning. That’s just plain awesome (except that it’s in Cleveland, Ohio… but still so ...

College Presidents Get a Pay Raise, Everyone Else Continues to Struggle

College Presidents Get a Pay Raise, Everyone Else Continues to Struggle

Damn the man. The economy is spirally out of control, student loans are hard to come by and financial aid is struggling, but college presidents are enjoying a nice little raise.
 

A survey by the Chronicle of Higher Education found that public schools raised their president’s pay by an average of 7.6 percent last year, bringing the median salar...

Saints They Ain't: Former Ole Miss Player Deuce McAllister and Former Ohio State Player Will Smith Caught Poppin' Water Pills

There’s a pill-popping scandal rocking the NFL, but it’s not what you think. New Orleans Saints’ Deuce McAllister and Will Smith (no not the actor, yes I checked) are allegedly among the players caught for violating the league’s steroid policy because of… water pills.
 

Though they sound harmless, these pills are diuretics meant to encourage wei...

VIDEO: Kanye West Arrested for Paparazzi Attack

VIDEO: Kanye West Arrested for Paparazzi Attack

If I was a celebrity being constantly hounded by paparazzi every moment of every day, I'd probably snap too. The latest star to do so is our good friend Kanye, now facing felony charges after powerslamming a camera onto the ground after the pap got a little too close for comfort. The video is pretty incrimanting, so Kanye might actually be facin...

University of Iowa Corn Eating Contest Lives Again Thanks to Retraction of "Gluttony" Charge

University of Iowa Corn Eating Contest Lives Again Thanks to Retraction of "Gluttony" Charge

Gluttony? What are you talking about?

 

The annual corn eating contest at Iowa suffered a blow last year when it was cancelled because it promoted excessive gluttony, according to university officials. I wonder where they got that idea? 

 

But now the contest, as part of Beat State Week, is back on because of a rules change. Contestants are now ...

In Case You Missed It: Kanye's Latest, "Love Lockdown," at the VMAs

In Case You Missed It: Kanye's Latest, "Love Lockdown," at the VMAs

Kanye closed the otherwise unspectacular VMAs last night with a new song that "he wrote a week and a half ago." He praised "Love Lockdown" as "his favorite song to date" and I'm guessing he means his favorite song of all time, by anyone, ever. It'll probably sound better all mixed up, but it's pretty decent live. At this point I was still hoping...

St. Paul Students Ditch Class... But For Political Purposes This Time

The St. Paul police chief is urging students to be cool and stay in school… at least during the Republican National Convention, that is.
 

His concern is well-founded. The group Youth Against War and Racism has sent out a call to local high school and college students to walk out of school today to protest republican policies. Their web site ex...

Jamie Lynn Spears Sends Bristol Palin an "I Can Relate" Present

Jamie Lynn Spears Sends Bristol Palin an "I Can Relate" Present

Well I guess this was bound to happen.


When it was first announced that little Bristol Palin was pregnant, everyone’s mind immediately jumped to the last underage mother we obssessed about for months. That right, Jamie Lynn Spears is apparently feeling a whole lot of sympathy for Bristol Palin after seeing the smolding-hot media spotlight cast ...
