While Paris Hilton's jail diary reading on Larry King Live has a certain classic 'something' in its nothingness that would merit keeping it as a stanza in 2008's Headline News, there are many other celebrity pecadillos that might merit the Al treatment on this leg of the tour. OJ Simpson robbing his own memorabilia, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen doing just about anything, Miley Cyrus posing nearly butt-naked in Vanity Fair, Tom and Katie throw a $500K birthday party for a 2 year old, Lindsey Lohan (pick any of: gets sober, gets drunk, steals someone elses coat, sends it back stinky and torn, smooches her girlfriend, gets sober, gets drunk again, etc., etc.)-many are called, few are chosen.

What are your favorite moments of absolute beyond-the-pale ridiculousness that deserve to be immortalized this year in HN? [Events, not just individuals, otherwise Al would never get through the medley.]

Cheers, Diva

With the Miley Cyrus pictures being what's most currently in the news, I'd say that those are a good bet.

You say that like it's a bad thing. :huh:
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

What? It was all over the news, even though I could've cared less.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11

So awesome!

No, Bob. You're getting her confused with Tom Cruise.
