Did you see the picture of Phil Spector sans wig? Take a good look – then look at the picture of Mr Burns – the evil capitalist genius from the Simpsons. Have they EVER been seen in the same room?

Have you been following the firestorm following David Letterman’s tasteless comments about Sarah Palin’s daughter? Letterman’s “humorous monologue contained this line..“One awkward moment for Sarah Palin at the Yankee game, during the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.” Palin was in New York with her 14-year-old […]
