A roundup

Lots going on today. Check it out:

1. Ed McMahon is dead. He was 86, and the last few years were pretty rough. What an interesting life, though.

2. The governor of South Carolina has been found after disappearing for several days. He was hiking. Sorry, but there's gotta be more to this story than the guy just wanted to go hiking. Even I wouldn't be able to just disappear for several days with no one knowing where I am (not even my family??), and I'm not the senior official for an entire state. Something ees fishy.

3. Jon and Kate (Plus 8) are divorcing. But...they seemed so in love.

4. On the other end of the marriage spectrum, Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal are getting married - if they can manage it before she dies. I don't mean to be insensitive here, but what exactly is the point? They wouldn't marry for all those years when they were actually sharing a life and raising kids together, then they went their separate ways, but now that she's on death's door, they're willing to take vows? I guess it's easier to commit when you're really not committing yourself to much or for long.

5. And a Belgian teen claimed last week that she fell asleep after asking a tattoo artist to tattoo three stars on her face, and when she awoke, he had mistakenly tattooed 56 stars. On her face. While she slept. This week, she admits that she lied, and that she had, in fact, asked for all 56 stars and did not, in fact, fall asleep and stay asleep as a man pierced her face with a needle and injected ink under flesh over and over and over and over. You don't say.
