The animals are killing us

Mad Cow. Mercury from fish. Bird flu. Now the Swine flu...basically the animals are continuing to plot their deaths on humans. This being said the celebs are not to be outdone. We all know they have their favorite charity cases and in Katy Perry's case, her favorite cause is protecting us lesser people against the dangers of "bacon fever". She was seen sporting a ring of a jewel encrusted pig in recent days. The singer wrote on her blog that "since swine flu is super trendy I wanted to make sure I was in style with my swine flu ring!" I'm glad to see someone has a sense of humor in all this. It gets depressing reading about the death tolls from our porker friends. I just want to know what's next...surgical masks at the Oscars? Oxygen tanks on the red carpets? Only time will tell...http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20276542,00.html

Sad news and thing that it's sad that we care about

Season 7 American Idol winner David Cook lost his brother to brain cancer Saturday May 1st. Adam came to support David during his Idol conquest despite his physical ailments. This isn't something to poke fun of...so I'm just going to stop here.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20276329,00.html

And now on to something funnier....Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have tied the knot...for real this time. The Hills "hotties" married a few months ago in Mexico on a whim but it was not legally binding here in the USA. Smart move America...we won't let gay people who have fully functioning brains get married but we will let some money hungry, attention loving, not really talented but famous people wed. But I digress. The two married in Pasedena, CA in front of roughly 200 guests including "arch rival" Lauren Conrad also of The Hills fame. I wish we could say this was a happily ever after for the twosome but the only way it will be is if they go ride off into the sunset and leave the rest of us alone. Seeing as how they were more than willing to broadcast their wedding...I dont think that will happen anytime soon. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20274780,00.html

All Hands On Deck

Shia Labeouf injured his hand in a car wreck back in July of '08 and now, a year later, he still doesn't have complete control of it. He says that it's hard to button his own shirt or pull a zipper without being in extreme pain. Shia also goes on to say that it's his own fault for getting in the wreck in the first place. On the one hand...alcohol was not blamed on this accident....but on the other hand...he has nothing to blame his terrible driving on (Unlike Lindsay Lohan). One good thing did come out of all this. He still gets to kiss Megan Fox in Transformers 2. I know many guys who would give their right hand...or another appendage...for that privilege.http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20275564,00.html
