Your favorite pre-PrObama president and mine, Bill Clinton, convinced North Korea to free those 2 US journalist. Ole Slick Willie put the moves on Kim Jong Il and poof, special pardons for all. I think Jong Il even wanted to pardon Chi Ali until Bill reminded him he was US prisoner.

No this is not important news but it should be near the top. There is now a Snuggie for dogs. Human civilization FAIL.

Do you know what else is NOT (allthats)fresh? Short shorts for men. REALLY?! (c) Seth & Amy.

If you happen to have Showtime and you have not been watching Penn & Teller: BULLSHIT! this season then you seriously need to reconsider your TV watching expertise. Last week's episode was an awesome one about organic food. In this summer when there seems to be absolutely nothing to watch (no Mr. LebronJamesBond, I will not watch Obsessed with green eggs & ham), there's always the premiums.

Keri Hilson on the cover of Complex? That was simple.

The cover artwork & (rumored) tracklisting for Jay-Z's 'Blueprint 3' was released online yesterday. From the looks of it, it might be headed for Snoozeville, population: me. Although Kanye doing most of the production may be a good look, no Just Blaze beats is certainly not. Along with his yawn worthy performance on "Run This Town" where Kanye showed him up and "Death Of The Autotune" seemingly losing some steam, it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

Speaking of slept on albums, literally, shout out to Fab for dropping this new Ambien in the form of a CD 'Loso's Way'. Mr. John Jackson seriously sounds like he doesn't want to rap anymore. Remember when Joe Budden was his sidekick and you were waiting for new Clue tapes to hear Fab rip the latest instrumental? Yea, those days are LONG gone. Word to Lil Mo.

DeAndre Way? Nah, won't even waste my time or links.

I'll toss the nerd news alley oop to the Goldyn Child

The Day The Earth Stood Still

Michael Jackson's public memorial was today. If Stevie Wonder singing "I'd Never Thought You'd Leave In The Summer" didn't get your face turned up, then Marlon Jackson or little Paris Jackson HAD to. If you didn't catch it, the rebroadcast should be online somewhere or I'm sure some bootlegger will have it on DVD on the block.

Kanye & Lady Gaga are going on tour. Why not? I'll bring a portable tv to watch while Stefani's on stage...at least until she shows some cheeks.

Sarah Palin quit over the weekend but for some reason still has strong support among the GOP. Whatever, as long as she goes far far away and sooner rather than later.

In WTF news, last week (6/30) Green Party leader Cynthia McKinney was captured by the Israeli Navy and held until she was deported back to the US today (7/7). Apparently her boat was carrying some supplies and toys to the Gaza strip at the time of the seizing. Look, if you're going to get caught and detained by our ALLIES then at least be doing something gangsta like delivering keys of coke or crates of Halo 3 rocket launchers, then crate some type of metal exoskeleton to forcibly escape. Tony Stark had the right idea.

This week's country to have people rioting is China. Uighur protesters have been taking to the streets as they are accusing the Han Chinese of crowding them out and just generally not liking them. This is definitely not a good look for the Communist regime as it spits in the face of their philosophy.

Scientist have identified the coldest known object in space and it's not Kanye's ego. The European Space Agency's (ESA) Planck spacecraft actually cooled itself down to -459.49 degrees F (-273.05 C). Science geeks know that that is just 0.1 C above absolute zero and 1.2 C above Kanye's winter. Planck does it so that it can correctly study the Cosmic Microwave Background which unfortunately shares the same acronym as Color Me Badd...*sigh*

Lastly, welcome my homeboy Big Steve to the Twuniverse. Follow him @trill_cosby.

Hot Shit: RIP Mike Jack, Palin hopefully leaving the Earth to live elsewhere, The Alchemist's Chemical Warfare album, my 360 is repaired, getting back on the treadmill
Not Shit: My short ass post, the BET awards (because it was that disappointing), Palin probably not leaving this Earth to live elsewhere
