Ricky Martin Shocks The Universe
Yes, it’s true. Ricky Martin announced this week that he was gay.

Is That A Large Hadron Collider Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) fired up in Geneva this week and reenacted the first proton-on-proton action since the Big Bang. Thankfully, the world did not end and, at this point, we are not aware of any tears in the space-time continuum. But, look – I’ve seen Event Horizon and The Mist. This sort of stuff can only end poorly. Before you know it, we’re all going to be clawing our eyes out or battling giant bugs. Heed my warning before it’s too late!

One And A Half Men
Charlie Sheen has told an anonymous source (Keyser Söze?) that he’s done with his hit show “Two and a Half Men.” Insiders say that the actor, probably best known for his award winning performances in Terminal Velocity and The Wraith, is controlling this information leak in an effort to raise his salary from $1 million to $2 million a show. It seems reasonable as the cost for bail now is through the roof due to the sagging economy.

The Easy Rider Is Almost Home
Dennis Hopper received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week. Reports have been swirling that he’s got terminal cancer and pictures of him from the event make it pretty clear that the end is near. C6M has $50 that says the first thing Hopper does upon entering the afterlife is track down Corey Haim and beat his ass.

The Balls Are About To Become Hard
Baseball season starts in two days. On that day, I hope you will join me as I bask in the joy and assurance that the Cleveland Indians will finally triumph and become World Champions. On the day after that, those hopes and dreams will be crushed and I’ll just sit around counting down the days until football starts.

Hold Your Breath Right Before We Go Under!
This is U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson. He’s from Georgia. And he’s scared.
It’s all worth watching – but I highly recommend the part around 1:15…

Hank Johnson. Was he drunk or high? How do idiots like this get elected?
This guy’s response to the video above is about as funny as the statement…check it out!
