A new whiskey-filled device called the ryePhone

Dunkin' Donuts temporarily stopped selling hot chocolate and Dunkaccino brand beverages after learning equipment used at a supplier's facility might have been contaminated with salmonella. I know salmonella can be bad, but don’t a lot of Dunkin’ Donut customers look like they could use a good puke?

A number of South Carolina sate senators are calling for the resignation of Governor Mark Sanford. Second choice is to have his head wrapped in duct tape until his term is over.

The Arizona Senate has given final approval to a bill that would allow people with concealed weapons permits to carry a gun into places that serve alcohol. Bars are already putting up signs cautioning patrons to ask for a Coors Light, not a Silver Bullet.

In an interview in a magazine for runners, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says she'd beat President Barack Obama in a long run because he still smokes. She could guarantee a win in that race if she gave the starter’s pistol to Dick Cheney.

Michael Jackson's will has been filed in a Los Angeles court and it provides nothing for his former wife Debbie Rowe. Her name was listed in the section of Michael’s will entitled “Beat It.”

A number of Russians say they didn’t know President Obama is visiting their country next week. The Russian media is so tightly controlled by the government, it’s still talking about Michael Jackson possibly adding Moscow to his upcoming concert tour.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Sony Walkman. If you don’t know what that is, look for an older person on a bus listening to something twice as big as the box your iPod came in.

Thousands of casinos shut down across Russia this week under new restrictions that only allow gambling in Siberia. Most Russian gamblers say they don’t mind going to Siberia, especially the ones that have been to Atlantic City.

According to a new survey, most Americans would rather give up alcohol for a week than give up their cell phone. To capitalize on this, Apple is working on a new whiskey-filled device called the ryePhone.

A patent attorney say Michael Jackson held a patent for special shoes he used while performing his 1988 song "Smooth Criminal" that allowed him to lean over so far that he appeared to defy gravity. The shoes are popular at the Oscars with celebrities who drink too much before going up to give out an award.

Michael Jackson albums took the top nine spots on Billboard magazine's Top Pop Catalog Albums chart for the week ending June 28. As a result, a number of bands who haven’t been on the charts in a while are weighing the costs of bumping off a bass player.
