It was a star-studded finale for this season's American Idol featuring performances from well-known artists like Alanis Morrissette, Christina Aguilera, the Bee Gees, and Joe Cocker. We saw a performance from the legendary Janet Jackson, the miraculous return of Bret Michaels, the return of former judge Paula Abdul and, of course, the final show of popular judge Simon Cowell. Oh, the actual American Idol contest? I'm not sure who won that.
top kill oil waiting

Well, Steven Seagal completed his swim one mile deep into the ocean to perform the "top kill" procedure on the BP oil spill. Okay, that's not how it really works, but BP did do something known as a "top kill" and now we have to wait 24 hours to find out what they will do next when this move fails...

new facebook privacy settings

With all the uproar recently from Facebook users complaining that they couldn't understand how to work the privacy settings on the social networking site, Facebook has promised to simplify their controls.

After all these years, and all those iPods, iTunes, and iPads, Apple is finally the #1 technology company in the world in terms of market capitalization. Unfortunately, they will still be portrayed by that goofy little hipster in the Mac vs. PC commercials.

road stripe paint shortage
Get ready for chaos on the highways this summer. It appears there is a major shortage of paint used to make highway lines.
hell of year for hurricanes
Why should volcanoes, tornadoes, oil spills and earthquakes get all the glory? Jealous hurricane fans (referred to in this article as "experts") are warning that this could be a "hell of a year" for hurricanes.
carville oil outburst
James Carville went on a tirade complaining about the White House response to the gulf oil spill. Essentially, it was a Kanye-esque moment for Carville, where he was saying, "President Obama doesn't care about birds."
greek frog plague
As if dealing with Greek contagion wasn't bad enough, the Greeks had a highway shut down by frogs yesterday. That's right. Apparently, the frogs put up a bunch of misleading signs telling motorists that the highway would be closed...or something like that.

You may not have much of a chance of winning American Idol, but now you can at least feel like an American Idol with this authentic, properly-spelled American Idol baseball hat!
