• Jack White shot some poor woman.

• Ryan Seacrest got paid.

• Harry Potter 6 wowed the pope, New York's party reporter, and us when we saw it and thought of all the children it might scar. Also, we ranked all six movies!

• Mickey Rourke got a bird drunk.

• A man named Ed was stricken with E.D. Irony!

• Wilco rocked some dads.

• Quentin Tarantino told his critics to suck it.

• Mariah Carey manned up.

• We predicted Mad Men and 30 Rock would be nominated for lots of Emmys. Then they were nominated for lots of Emmys! Too bad these guys weren't.

• Do not piss off Michael Riedel.
