The Ultimate, err, Anti-Burger King Endorsement?

Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. credits Burger King (of all eateries) with helping him kick his nasty addiction to drugs and alcohol.

In 2003, Downey was driving a car filled with "tons of f**king dope" on California's Pacific Coast Highway when he decided to stop at the fast food franchise for a meal.

"I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered," he said. "I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen."

After that he, reportedly, proceeded to throw all of his "f**king dope" in the ocean, and vowed to clean up his act.

"He also hinted that a fateful moment in his latest movie, Iron Man, when his character Tony Stark requests a cheeseburger from Burger King after being released from his captors, is a reference to his own experiences."

Um are you sure that wasn't product placement?

And I'm happy for you buddy, but don't diss the Whopper.

Beauty the Bald Eagle Gets a New Beak

Beauty the Bald Eagle was slowly starving to death after a poacher shot off her upper beak three years ago.

But thanks to a team of volunteers an ARTIFICIAL BEAK has been attached to the 15-pound (7-kilogram) bird to help her grasp food.

Nate Calvin, an engineer from Boise in Idaho, designed the new beak, which will eventually be replaced with a permanent tougher one.

Jane Fink Cantwell who found the bird scrounging for food and slowly starving at a landfill in Alaska said: "A bullet had to be removed from her curved upper beak, leaving her tongue and sinuses exposed, with a stump useless for grasping food.

"Eating with her beak was like using one chopstick. She also had trouble drinking and couldn’t preen her feathers." :'(

Despite the success of the operation, Beauty will never be released back into the wild.

Who the eff shoots a Bald Eagle?!?!?

This saddens me almost as much Inukshuk, an orphaned baby polar bear who lost her mom to hunters in Ontario. [Jezebel]

Candy Spelling Wins $180,000 Playing the Slots

Who says life's not fair? Aaron Spelling's widow Candy Spelling won a reported $180,000 while gambling in Vegas last weekend.

According to TMZ, Spelling, who is worth around $600 million, was playing the high limit slots (up to $1,000 a pull) at the Bellagio hotel when she hit the jackpot.

This was the second big Bellagio win for Spelling, who already won $200,000 playing the slot machines last June!

Un-effing-believable!!

It's even worse than when (2004) J.LO's mom won 2.4 million on a $3 bet in Atlantic City. At least in her case she has a gaggle of Puerto Rican relatives to put through college.

Spelling's so stingy her daughter had to throw a garage sale.

What lucky ass bastards should look like.

A Day in the Life of...

Lindsay Lohan



Boy she's cranky. Can't really blame her. Still, where was she shopping? Exactly.

A little stream of consciousness writing for ya. (I have the ability to have entire conversations with myself)

My Latest Addiction: Limonata

If you haven't tried San Pellegrino's Limonata you've gotta.

Try one. You'll be glad you did.

At this moment I couldn't be happier. Know why? Cause I'm drinking one.

But don't just take my word for it. Ask this guy. He was none too happy (I dare say he was "floored") when they stopped carrying the drink at his local Trader Joe's. Curse-ed store.

BTW: Don't be fooled by Aranciata!

No, (sadly) I did not get paid to write this.
