As most people know, unless you live under a rock, Katie Couric is leaving CBS. Which begs the question, who watches CBS News anyway is going to take her spot?

Couric’s tenure at CBS has been less than a fairytale. The first woman to host an evening news broadcast, CBS had high hopes for Couric and the ratings she would bring. Only, she didn’t. And now that she’s jumping ship for a daytime talk show, the CBS execs have a great opportunity to bring in someone who actually can.

What they need is someone who can spice up the news room a little bit. Someone who will make people want to watch the news, no matter how depressing it is. Someone new and interesting and exciting who will make us want to turn off ‘Friends’ reruns and catch up on what’s going on in the world.

And I’ve got a few money ideas.

Watch the Couric/Palin interview here. One word: Oy.

Suri Cruise has no friends.

Parents just don’t understand….

In case you needed another reason to use a condom, recent polls show that people across the nation are still completely skeeved out by the idea of herpes.

In a report released by CBS news and WebMD, “503 U.S. adults with genital herpes and about 1,400 other adults who said they didn’t have genital herpes” were asked questions regarding the icky yet easily transmittable disease.

In addition to ranking herpes second to HIV as a social stigma, most of the non-infected participants said they’d steer clear of sleeping with someone who had the disease.

Only 36% of the Valtrex using pollers said they’d tell a partner about their condition before having sex, which means 64% are jumping in the sack with someone who has no idea what they’re getting into.

These numbers clearly illustrate that having herpes isn’t fun. It’s so un-fun, in fact, most people would rather infect someone else than admit to having it.

So do yourself a favor this fall and be cautious about who you invite into your bed…especially if you happen to be inviting Derek Jeter.

You can take your double, venti, low-fat, half-cap, light on the drizzle, frap-a-whatever and shove it up your a@%!!!

I need a real job… something that excites me… something related to my future career – know what I’m sayin’???
