It also looks like they blow their entire production wad on her appearance fees. Check out the latest in a long line of terrible, terrible decisions: an ad for Air New Zealand. It joins her terrible spot for Beezid.com and this appalling WTF moment from Japan. Step away from the spotlight, Linds, and re-evaluate your life, girl.

So maybe you’re rinsing your retinas off with a lil' bleach after all that, and now you’re looking forward to watching the throne that Jay-Z and Kanye set their gold-plated rear ends on? Well, you might want to take heed: the 24-city tour has been slashed to…um, FOUR. And while rumors are swirling about a feud breaking out between the two mega-watt hip hop icons, I’m thinking that it might be something else entirely.

Think about it: most cities and venues these days are bankrupt or on the brink -- which one can afford to host a show with the kind of rider that probably requires a parking space for an endangered dragon sewn to a Benz? Of course, then I remembered that Best of Both Worlds shit Jay tried to do with R. Kelly a while back. You know, the one that ended with the R-ruh getting pepper sprayed by Jay’s security? Where, after it all fell apart, everyone called R the drama queen? I get a feeling that we ain’t seen nothing yet. Not til we Watch the Throne.

And speaking of thrones that definitely need watching, let's get down to business about our pols in Washington and this whole debt ceiling mess. Ever since Rep. Emanuel Cleaver called the debt ceiling deal a “sugar-coated Satan sandwich,” I've been hooked on him. He's smart, and clearly takes no bullshit. Listen to the way he talks about this deal from hell:

"You've got a little bit of sourdough on one side of the sandwich for poor people and then you have some onions for people who are on unemployment benefits and realize that’s not going to be in the deal. It’s got a lot of stuff in it,” he sums up, “but very few things that are good."

Make sure you’ve got all the details, then start squirting some condiments at your reps and senators.
