Wanna Catch Obama's Inauguration? It'll Cost Ya
Interest in President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration is running so high that one ticket broker is asking $20,095 for a single ticket. Entry to the biggest event in Washington is free if your congressman or senator grants your request, but with demand outpacing supply a traditional giveaway has turned into a thriving online marketplace.

Obama: Stay Home and Text the Inauguration
Turns out that the revolution WILL be televised.President-Elect (how nice will it be to not have to type that soon?) Barack Obama has taken to the tube - YouTube - to tell you to stay home on Tuesday. That's right, stay away from the inauguration, because he's made it easy to watch/listen/read about via text alerts, TV broadcast, and web-broadcasts.But most importantly, and what I'm happiest about, is his emphasis on community service leading up to, and after, the inauguration event itself. How refreshing i

The Playlist's Least Anticipated Films Of 2009
We wanted to subtitle this feature Cockpunching Your Brain Into Next Year: The Films Of 2009 Probably Destined To Make Us Unintentionally Laugh The Most. But you know, we mostly digress, but if you really want to see some of the year's worst films look no further than what's coming out this month in January: The year's dumping ground for unwanted films (and in some cases February, too).

Beyonce dumped her dog on the staff at her record label months ago
Beyonce appears to be trying to rival Paris Hilton in the bad pet owner department. This past summer, the singer left her dog, Munchie, at her record label’s office in New York. Presumably it was supposed to be for a short time, not for life. However two season later she has yet to pick up her pooch, and he’s still living there. Columbia’s employees have been forced to take him home on weekends, and he’s leaving puddles all over the office. Beyonce, however, cannot be bothered.

Both campaigns spending about the same on negative ads
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The race for the White House is being waged in the final weeks in American living rooms through a blitz of negative campaign commercials. Both Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama are throwing large amounts of money into TV ad campaigns this year. And though the Sen.

Feh.The more he doth protest, the more it is too much. He'd be better off laying low—not going to the glitzy Golden Globes then flying back across the country to do GMA.

It is stoked further by the repeated invocation of Obama’s middle name b
