Sarah Silverman Burns Mississippi
Published

Updated
Sarah Silverman is always down for a scholastic challenge, but when we hit her up with an impromptu spelling test at LAX this weekend -- someone forgot how many crooked letters it takes to spell Mississippi!
She did spell it correctly the second time around -- but 13-year-old Kavya Shivashankar didn't need a second chance when she locked down the Scripps National Spelling Bee championship back in May ... and her word was "Laodicean."

Fact: It's always funny to watch mascots get hit in the junk.
This dude in a bee costume took one to the honey-maker during a botched home run celebration at a AA baseball game for the Binghamton Mets a few days ago -- and just crumbles in sheer agony.
It's hilarious.
Thanks to the people over at Deadspin for pointing it out.

Here's the 53-year-old blonde back in 1970 (left) -- and 39 years later, the 92-year-old version (right).
There's nothin' funny about that!

Bruno Based on a Real Gay Austrian?!
Published
|
Updated
The Austrian media is going crazy over the new movie "Bruno" -- claiming Sacha Baron Cohen based his fake flamboyant Austrian TV host ... on a real life flamboyant Austrian TV host.
The dude caught in the middle is Alfons Haider -- he's proud to be gay, he's into fashion, and (just like Bruno) he's also been known to compare himself to Zac Efron.
Want more evidence? -- Alfons is the highest-paid presenter on Austrian state broadcaster ORF. In the film, Bruno works for a channel called OJRF. Coincidence?
The controversy has been raging in Austria for a while, but Haider just told The Telegraph newspaper, "I never understood the comparison to myself at all. The only comparisons I can think of is that I'm Austrian, I'm gay, and I work for television, but the rest is completely fiction."
Anyone really buyin' that?

Drew Peterson Cracks Killer Jokes from Jail

How's this for disturbing: Accused wife murderer Drew Peterson called into Mancow's radio show this morning to -- get this -- try out a few of his new prison jokes.
Drew tried out his hysterically unfunny material by calling collect from the Will County jail in Illinois, where he's being held on a $20 million bond.
It kind of all makes sense if you think about it... comedians, like jailbirds, are used to a couple of rim shots every now and then.

Osbournes Screw the Pooch

The Osbournes cast a poodle to dye for on their new/unofficially cancelled TV show.
Pierre the Poodle's owner ponied up the pooch for a bit on "Osbournes: Reloaded" -- the gag was to dye the dog pink, but six months later the dog is still in the ... pink.
And to add insult to psychic injury, since only one episode aired, the poodle skit was never even on TV.
Maybe the Obamas will adopt a special needs companion for Bo.
