    • Brooke Hogan hates voting

      In what can be considered the most earth shattering and shocking news of our generation, the voice of America's youth movement, Brooke Hogan, has FINALLY issued her stance on voting.

      "You know what? I am actually not that much into voting. I think it’s kinda crazy that a woman is running, because I think that women deal with a lot of emotions and menopause and PMS and stuff. Like, I’m so moody all the time, I know I couldn’t be able to run a country, ‘cause I’d be crying one day and yelling at people the next day, ya know?"

      It's still unclear if she thinks math is hard and boys are dreamy.

    • Bloodthirsty thong

      A 52 year old woman is suing Victoria's Secret over a defective thong. While trying on the under gament, a small decorative piece of metal flew off of the underwear and hit her in the eye, causing injuries that would affect her for the rest of her life.

      Maybe the underwear was doing the woman a favor, because if you ask me, a 52 year old woman should NEVER EVER be seen in a thong.

    • Pig is afraid of mud, wears toy wellies to beat phobia

      When pig farmers Debbie and Andrew Keeble discovered a newborn member of their herd was afraid of mud, they were left scratching their heads over what to do. But, after thinking on the hoof, they soon realised a pair of wellies worn by a Paddington Bear toy fitted the young porker's tiny trotters like a glove.

      Well, that must be the end of news as we know it. Nothing can top this.

    • First look at the new 902.0

      Here it is kids, the new 90210

      Wow. I mean...wow. The new 90210 looks like a car crash getting hit by a train wreck and I can't wait to watch it every single week. God bless nostalgia and a lack of original ideas in Hollywood.

    • Minnie Driver drops clues about her baby's father

      Like some kind of really rubbish puzzle, six-months pregnant Minnie Driver is dropping hints about the father of her unborn child. During an interview with The Independent, where she's promoting her sophomore album, Seastories, Minnie gave such vague clues as: he's English, he's "sort of in the same business,"

    • Terrier has narrow escape

      A small dog had a narrow escape on a Derbyshire railway line - thanks to a high speed train crew. Daisy, a west highland terrier, strayed on to track near Long Eaton just as a London train arrived at the station.

      She disappeared underneath the train but the driver and train manager coaxed her out, then took her to the next stop, Loughborough.
