Brittany Murphy clearly threw Craig Ferguson off last night on the Late Late Show: Why was an actress raised in New Jersey speaking in an Irish accent? And why was she acting so loopy?

Real-time is the future of everything, someone wrote three seconds ago. And therefore, Google will pay hundreds of millions of dollars to buy Twitter! Welcome to the way acquisitions are done in Silicon Valley.

President Change is in London with a bunch of other world leaders at the G20 summit, trying to save the world! A reporter asked him if his meetings represented a "break" from Bush's foreign policy.

Jack Cafferty doesn't take any crap. Not from Chinese communists, not from "the facts," and damn sure not from some treasonous hippie protester. Especially when her headgear deeply offends the CNN commentator.

Insanely weepy Glenn Beck will probably cry over what it means for our country, but Stephen Colbert's thorough Tuesday-night takedown of the Fox News host is, in one way, a compliment.

Bill O'Reilly went on David Letterman as part of his quest to get more attention than Rush Limbaugh and his Fox News Channel sibling rival Glenn Beck. Fat chance:

Musk, apparently eager to give the magazine an exclusive and reassure buyers who must put down a sizeable $40,000 deposit for a car that they won't see until 2011 at the earliest, said that GE Capital was an investor:

Sure, the Oak Park Leaves- Wednesday Journal rivalry has always been a bitter one, but did John P. Huston's japery go too far this time?

Robert Gibbs was a couple minutes late to the daily White House press briefing, and the whiny kids who make up the press corps were furious. And they were getting along so well!

Lauren, the star of Microsoft's latest ad campaign, wants a laptop with a 17-inch screen for under $1,000. She goes to the Apple Store; no luck. "I'm not cool enough to be a Mac person," she sighs as she drives away. She heads to Best Buy and finds one for $699. (Oh, by the way, though Microsoft is telling people that the people like Lauren featured in its new ads were hired on Craigslist for a "market-research study," Lauren is an actress.)

Today show host Matt Lauer got in a fight with a deer while on his bike last weekend and kinda hurt himself. Now he's back on the show and his colleagues are teasing him mercilessly.

Is Minnesota Congressman Michele Bachmann the dumbest member of congress? Well, the median Stanford-Binet score in the House is probably like 70, so who's to say? But she is certainly our favorite House moron!

David Letterman made an honest woman of his sweetheart, and this is how the gods reward him: Blake Lively, still nursing a childhood Letterman crush, tempted the Late Show host with a threesome.

Being repeatedly exposed as factually incorrect or as a hypocrite doesn't seem to have hurt Bill O'Reilly's ratings. But a few more descriptions of him as a creepy stalker might do the trick.

The president fielded questions tonight about his daughters, the attorney general of New York and a kooky Chinese plan for an international currency. Anything on the nitty-gritty of his trillion-dollar bank bailout? Nope.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently told the BBC that the U.S. should break up banks that get "too big to fail." What about Google? Is it too big — and should the government take action?

AIG now stands for "Anonymous, Inescapable Guilt." That's one possible interpretation of the insurance giant's move to take its logo off one of its New York buildings. Either that or they're following their own advice.
