On top of the loss of his chosen presidential candidate, Barack Obama, in the Massachusetts primaries (debate on the "Kennedy Lift" here), Senator Ted Kennedy now has to deal with more rumors about the Kennedy Clan. The Kennedy Clan has always been a magnet for rumors, some sordid, some not, some true, some not. In this case, whether or not it is true, the latest rumor will have a high-profile mouthpiece in the form of......

Without Mort Sahl, there would be no Daily Show or Colbert Report. James Wolcott at Vanity Fair went so far as to suggest that Sahl was more important to American comedy than Lenny Bruce. Whether or not that's true, Sahl laid the foundation for today's political satire. He......

Tom Brady has been named the best-dressed man in the world,* he had a birthday, he's back on the field, and his supermodel girlfriend is on the cover of Vanity Fair. But we have one big question – when's the baby arriving? We heard rumors that Bridget Moynihan was going to pop the Brady Baby back on July 20, but Brady's offspring hasn't arrived yet.

Well, not exactly. But that was our reaction when we found out that Hustler "honored" Fox 25 news reporter Bianca De La Garza as an anchorbabe. De La Garza wound up on a page in Hustler with the caption "make sure you don’t grab the wrong remote while watching her deliver the news." And the Hustler readers are bound to be disappointed because she's all clothed and not at all involved with the magazine. Talk......

LAist tracks an award-winning TV writer who worked on Good Times to a homeless shelter and sees a Little Old Lady get a jaywalking ticket because she can't get across fast enough (in the same post!). Poets invade Metro and an LAist contributor's new book asks WWJB. Gothamist gets down with the immigration rally and their readers want to be heard. The anniversary of the Mets' 1986 World Series is celebrated via a RBI Baseball......
