1. There were widespread internet rumors last night that Kanye West died in a car accident, but it turned out to be a hoax. Which taught me a lesson – until it’s confirmed, don’t order the cake and party hats.
2. Production of the movie “Indian Summer” had to be cancelled, because the Indian government wanted less love story. Since when did the Indian government care about too much love story for movies set in India? That’s like the German government demanding a movie to have less S&M.
3. Media coverage continues heating up in the Balloon Boy case, which is now believed to be a hoax. Well, the dad wanted to be a reality TV star, and now he’s starring in the old-school version of reality TV: “news”. Unfortunately, you don’t get paid, you can’t edit, and it never ever goes on vacation.
4. Scientists have discovered a giant web-spinning spider in Africa that was thought to be extinct. There is some dispute about whether to name it Nephila Talibanus or Nephila Vaccineconspiracytheorius.
5. Microsoft’s launch of the new Windows 7 operating system will include a TV show developed with Seth MacFarlane, who created “Family Guy”. If MacFarlane’s previous work is any guide, we’re probably going to see Steve Jobs’s corpse going through seven windows.
