1. “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling reveals that Albus Dumbledore, master wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts, is gay.
Rowling also strongly reiterated that Weasley is not gay, despite all appearances.
2. A CNN survey shows that Philadelphia is home to the least attractive people in the U.S., according to visitors and residents.
“The City of Brotherly Love” apparently gets its nickname due to the most common and unfortunate phrase heard by Philly males, “I love you like a brother.”
3. Joey Bishop, the last remaining member of the infamous “Rat Pack” that included Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Peter Lawford, dies at the age of 89.
Hollywood has-been Corey Feldman quickly issued a statement that despite appearances, he and most other members of the “Brat Pack” are still alive and well and would like to be considered for a role in any upcoming movie. Any movie. Please.
4. Lynn Cheney, wife of Vice President Dick Cheney, says that her research shows that the vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama are distant cousins.
This is the just the latest of several desperate attempts by Lynn Cheney to prove that her husband is actually human, the last being a regrettable incident in which Cheney sliced open her husband’s arm only to see it bleed oil and children’s tears.
5. Strong winds fuel powerful wildfires across Southern California, forcing evacuations and threatening the homes of thousands.
Strong gusts of hot air emanate from California? House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi must be giving another speech on how she’s going to end this war just as quickly as possible.
6. Members of Hollywood’s film and television writers union vote to authorize a strike in pursuit of better pay and more compensation for DVD and internet video sales.
If this means a delay in the production of Big Momma’s House 3, I am going to be pissed!
7. The KU football team defeats Colorado on the road, moving to 7-0 on the season and #9 in the Bowl Championship Series rankings.
Well, at least basketball season is starting soon….wait, we’re ranked what?
8. An investigation shows that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from working class citizens in New York’s Chinatown.
While these donations may appear dubious in nature, it should be noted that Hillary Clinton’s dry cleaning budget is more than double of any of her opponents.
9. Talk show host Ellen Degeneres cancels two of her shows amid an emotional controversy after a dog adoption agency takes back Degeneres’ dog after the comedienne violated the adoption agreement.
Anti-gay rights activists are already using the incident to push for laws prohibiting future gay pet adoptions.
