Having softpedaled rumors of Steve Jobs's failing health, CNBC is falling over itself to catch up to the story — with embarrassing results.

Facebook, which claims its goal is to let users share their lives. has been accused of censoring posts about the fighting in Gaza. So much for Mark Zuckerberg's dreams of breaking down global barriers.

Last night, VH1 finally aired the Charm School reunion show where Sharon Osbourne and contestant Megan Hauserman got into a fight so epic, it sent Hauserman to the hospital (and to the LAPD).

Sad former president George H. W. Bush wishes his smart son, Jeb, had maybe been the second president Bush, but it's too late now.

This is why access is overrated. CNBC believed Apple's official pronouncements on the health of Steve Jobs, the computer company's CEO. Gizmodo relied on gossiping insiders. Who do you reckon was right?

Ostensibly fearing liver damage, John Travolta removed his teenaged son from the anti-seizure medication Depakote. Jett Travolta later succumbed to convulsions and died. Why wasn't he put on other medication?

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have two nannies. Jeff Kathrein, the one who found the dead body of the couple's 16-year-old son, Jett, was caught kissing Travolta. Who's the other one?

What it really amounts to is doling out money to corporations:

We hope your NYE was as joyous, wasted, and overstuffed as ours was, and your First Hangover of 2009—which felt like a tiny monkey putting up drywall inside our skull—has abated.

2008 was a banner year for celebrity deaths, beginning with the most shocking—Heath Ledger—and ending with the sound of a single, melancholy meow echoing across a cloudy night sky.

What will Google be like without Marissa Mayer, the glamour nerd whose goofy laugh so neatly captures the search engine's adolescent awkwardness? We'll know soon. We hear the company's 19th employee is planning her goodbye.

Caroline Kennedy's embarrassing "ums" and "you knows" in the Times Saturday followed questions about why she wants to be senator. Funny, Ted Kennedy was doomed by the same question!

Good Morning America was adorable this morning. And, judging by the dialog, still the gayest thing on the AM dial. Sam Champion and his highlighted lioness mane figured prominently, obvs.

You just know Mike Sidel's Weather Channel colleagues will give him endless shit for slipping in the snow live on MSNBC Sunday. Instead of the ice at Wisconsin's Lambeau Field, blame Christmas!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Mostly worst. As 2008—the shittiest year on human record—winds down, we've collected for you some of its most shameful moments, caught on video.

The holiday season gives an ever-scrutinized media elite the one true liberation: That feeling no one's really watching! The madness descends in this clip from Fox and Friends:

Every year on Christmas Eve, traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange stop their trading to sing "Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie." It's extra poignant this year, see?

Greg Gutfeld, Fox News's Red Eye host and self-declared enemy of Gawker commenters, has finally found a friend: coworker Steve Doocy of Fox and Friends. Roll the clip!

Like Rudolph Giuliani, the news crawl was great on 9/11 but was soon useless and despised. Now CNN is killing it, and hopefully Fox News will too, if the Simpsons mock them again.

Palm Pilots were the epitome of cutting-edge cool — in 1998. By 2004, when the movie came out, the PDA market had entered terminal decline, as people switched to keeping their contacts on increasingly advanced cell phones. And the best part?
