News Items from Across the World

Barefoot Bandit has Excuse

19 year old Colton Harris-Moore, a.k.a. known as the Barefoot Bandit, was captured earlier this week in the Bahamas after a high-speed boat chase. Once captured, he began giving excuses for his notorious behavior for the past couple of years.














He claims that someone stole his shoes, thus driving him into a life of crime.


Is Lindsey Lohan's Star Fading?

Lindsay Lohan's star power can't be relied upon to draw large audiences to TV or movie screens any more. In fact, the washed-up has-been can't seem to do anything right these days.

Her latest role, as a defendant in the courtroom only garnered limited interest as her star power has dwindled below that of Pee Wee Herman and Willie the Wonder Weasel (whose last role as Hamlet actually garnered more interest that Lohan's work for several years combined).

Her last starring role, 2007's "I Know Who Killed Me" grossed just $7.5 million. Her TV appearances are now usually shunned by fans of those shows. "Basically, Lindsey Lohan is a star who had her 15 minutes, and should now go back to the trailer park where she can live out the rest of her life as a washed-up drunk that thinks she's better than anyone else!" Ethel Judgya, famed Hollywood Critic for The Daily Crap recently stated. "Hopefully a judge somewhere will sentence her to life in prison for being a bad actress and save our children from seeing her vile, so-called talent ever again!"

But one fan disagree. Judy Drooler, a self-proclaimed Lindsey Lohan fan, said, "I love her. I want to have her babies! I'll do anything to make her happy. I'll cook, clean, do her laundry, then sue her for everything she has once I get tired of her!"















Also, rumor has it that the Mean Girls star is at least $2 million in debt. Allegedly she has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on ho-dog clothing and drugs. No word as of this report is she has found a new attorney since her former lawyer threw up her hands and gave up after Ms. Lohan wrote her a cold check.

And in Publishing news:

Sarah Palin Autobiography Targets Children

A biography of the former Alaska governor and self-described "mama grizzly" is set for release in September by a Christian book publisher.









"Speaking Up: The Sarah Palin Story" is one in a series of biographies aimed at 9- to 12-year-old readers. Others feature 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and U2 frontman Bono.

On a similar note, "My Life as a Terrorist-loving Marxist: The Barack Obama Story" is being targeted toward people who hate America and "The Wit and Wisdom of Joe Biden" is coming out as a comedy book aimed at no one in particular.
