• In a 5-4 ruling today, the Supreme Court has (again) decided that the prisoners at Gitmo deserve some semblance of the rights afforded everyone else imprisoned in this country, like the right to protest to a judge the fact that they've been held for 6 years without charges. In his dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia defended the right to not afford the detainees any rights because "America is at war with radical Islamists," but I'm sure he came up with some bullshit legal reasoning to discard the Constitution like he always does. Strict constructionalist my ass. [Washington Post]
• In other legal news, the jury is now considering its verdict in the R. Kelly case. [AP]
• In yet further legal news, Tony Rezko claims that federal prosecutors cajoled him to make up allegations against Barack Obama. He says, "I will never fabricate lies about anyone else for selfish purposes. I will take what comes my way, but I will never hurt innocent people." Except, you know, when he bribes officials and commits frauds. [Politico]
• Oh, look, the first food named after Eliot Spitzer: "a gargantuan patty wrapped around braised shortribs (no foie gras, here) and slathered with barbecue sauce". Now if only the Mayflower could, um, swallow their pride and name a drink after him, my life would be complete. [OuttaMindOuttaSite]

We're not the only ones with girl crushes on Tina!! • A Paris court slapped screen siren Brigitte Bardot with a $23,325 fine for "provoking discrimination and racial hatred" when she wrote that Muslims are destroying France, reports the IHT. Back in 2006, Bardot wrote a letter to current President Sarkozy wherein she said France is "tired of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts." • Pete Doherty shelled out £5,000 for a portrait of ex-girlfriend Kate Moss. In fact, Pete commissioned the portrait while he was still dating Kate, but neglected to pick it up for about a year. The artist, Sam Shaker, charged him 15 times the originally agreed upon price of £300 as a penalty. Ouch! [The Sun, IHT, The Sun] More »

• Christina Ricci, the face of the re-launched Samsonite Fashionaire collection, gave some bullshit answer at the line's launch party about how fashion is art, blah blah blah. At this point we would like to remind Christina that she's not shilling fashion. She's shilling luggage. [Vogue UK]
