OMGolly, that IS hilarious, and with his accent (I've heard him interviewed on TV), I'll bet it brought the house down. :-)

Taco Bell Chihuahua Dies

She charmed millions without ever saying a word, and managed to make fast food tacos adorable. Gidget, the Chihuahua best known for her Taco Bell ad campaign, died from a stroke on Tuesday night at age 15.

"She made so many people happy," says Gidget's trainer, Sue Chipperton. PEOPLE met both Gidget and Sue at a Hollywood animals photo shoot in February, where the pup was a consummate pro and delighted the crew with her playful nature.

The mostly retired actor lived out her days laying in the sun – "I like to joke that it's like looking after a plant," says Chipperton – and entertaining at shoots when her trainer brought her along. "Gidget," says Chipperton, "always knew where the camera was."

SEASIDE HEIGHTS -- The Toms River man charged in the hit-and-run death of former American Idol contestant Alexis Cohen is scheduled to be in court this afternoon in Ocean County for an initial hearing in the case.

Daniel Bark, 23, has been charged with reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident in the Saturday crash that killed Cohen, a 25-year-old Allentown, Pa. resident. Cohen, a contestant on the seventh season of American Idol, was struck by a car as she was walking near the intersection of Bay Boulevard and Dupont Avenue in the beach town of Seaside Heights.

Cohen suffered head, chest and abdomen injuries in the crash. Bark was taken into custody at 6 p.m. Sunday in Atlantic Highlands and has remained jail on $35,000 bail.

The court hearing this afternoon is scheduled before Superior Court Judge Wendell Daniels, in Ocean County.

Cohen became well known for her rant after she was rejected from American Idol. Her mother said Cohen had just recently auditioned for a third try at the show in June and was waiting to hear if she had been accepted.

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/090731/canada/canada_us_boxing_gatti_suicide



RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Former world champion Arturo Gatti committed suicide and was not murdered as initially suspected, a Brazilian police spokesman said on Thursday.


The 37-year-old Canadian was found dead in a holiday flat in north-eastern Brazil earlier this month and his wife Amanda Rodrigues, who was primarily charged with his murder, has now been released.


"The police inquiry concluded that he committed suicide using the strap of a rucksack on a staircase in the early hours of the morning," a police spokesman from Pernambuco state told Reuters by telephone.


Italian-born Gatti was found dead on July 11 in the flat the couple had rented in the seaside resort of Porto de Galinhas.


Rodrigues, 23, had been held in the city of Recife after Gatti died while the couple were on holiday in her native Brazil with their one-year-old son.


Nicknamed "Thunder," Gatti was IBF super featherweight champion in 1995 and WBC super-lightweight champion in 2004. He retired in 2007 with a 40-9 record.

Now they exhumed the body and flew it to Montreal where an acclaimed doctor has performed another autopsy. The doctor says it is inconclusive that it was a suicide and has reopened the fact it might very well be murder. There are injuries on the body that the Brazillian people missed in their investigation. Also a new will was found which was changed from his old will which shows his wife gets all the money and insurance money. Also it was changed saying his children would receive nothing. So it is not over yet. I have a feeling maybe she did not do it as she was tiny, but as the the news is reporting here she may have hired someone to do it. It certainly sounds fishy to me. I have a feeling she will be re-questioned in all this. CTV news was reporting this a little while ago on the 6 PM news.

"Dear Mr. Vernon,

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...
...and an athlete...
...and a basket case...
...a princess...
...and a criminal...
Does that answer your question?...

Sincerely yours,
The Breakfast Club."

So sad about John Hughes. Classic movies of my youth. I can't wait until my DD is old enough to see them and appreciate them. So much of his work survives the test of time.
