Loose Lips
Alec Baldwin on his 30 Rock lip-lock with Jennifer Aniston: "It was the greatest day of my life." He's J/K, people, but Baldwin adds, "Whenever you do that with someone, it's so fake. They're getting paid to kiss you and I'm getting paid to kiss her. But she's a doll." • 50 Cent filed suit against Taco Bell because they made him look like a chump, or, in legalese, "burnished his gangsta rapper persona by distorting beyond all recognition a bona fide, good faith offer." According to the AP, "The squabble is over a fake letter sent out by Taco Bell Corp. asking 50 Cent to change his name for one day to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent to help publicize its value menu." • Ben Affleck is currently in Congo trying to raise awareness about the war-torn country's plight. "I thought a lot of people are advocating on Darfur. I'd just be a very small log on a big fire. I started getting interested in Congo and I thought, this is a place where I can have a really big impact," he says.

Paris Hilton Talks Energy, 50-Cent Talks Iraq Policy And Liberal Bloggers Go Wild
It's a strange week when some of the more insightful political commentary on energy policy and the benefits of bipartisan compromise come from Paris Hilton, but such are the times in which we live, people. And so between John McCain suggesting that his wife dance on bartops, 50-Cent not getting political about Iraq and Afghanistan, and George Bush fooling himself about his own Iraq plans, it's a day when lesser bloggers than myself and Spencer Ackerman would probably throw in the towel. But we don't; in fact, we get into all that plus the dudely perspective on Cindy McCain's husband's offer, the anniversary of the intelligence assessment that predicted September 11th but was ignored, Rihanna's potential as a Vice President and the whole of her musical canon. Come, turn the music up and join us after the jump! More » -
