Okay, enough with the signs of the Apocalypse already, we get it! It’s bad enough we have been plagued with these blonde, anorexic, crackhead, partying, I-come-from -a-rich-family-so-I-don’t-know-what-responsibility-is types, but now Tuesday Nicole Richie confirmed in an interview that she is in fact pregnant.

Once again, internet radio is being unfairly targeted with extremely high music royalty fees: fees that are so high, if not changed will put most internet broadcasters out of business.

Well, Saddam was executed by hanging last night, around 9pm CST. Here’s the Yahoo! news article:

This was an article I saw awhile ago, but now it’s tied up in the courts.
Man accused of having sex with…
