Moose Falls Out of the Sky
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a-- WTF?!
Police said a 500-pound moose fell 18 feet to its death when it apparently leaped a guardrail on an Interstate 95 overpass and landed on Hinckley Road. Officials learned of the incident when a motorist called the town office shortly after 8 a.m. Tuesday and told assistant town clerk Shirley Bailey that "a moose just fell out of the sky."

Nick Hogan’s Top 5 post-prison promises
Nick Hogan is a free man after 166 days in prison and according to Mom Linda, he's a "changed person." But just what did the 18 year-old C-lister offspring learn during his 166 days in the big house for reckless cruising and DUI? Dateline Hollywood has gotten a copy of a list of promises that Nick Hogan made to himself on his last day in prison in order to try and improve his life:
1. Stop jacking off to pictures of my Mom
Sure it got really lonely in prison with no chicks around and that one big black guy who made me toss his salad every Thursday. And yes, my Mom is super sexy in a slutty Pam Anderson way with those big fake boobs and dyed blond hair and collagen lips and an ass that... Stop it! That's gross, Nick! She's your Mom!
Jacking off to pictures of your own mother is totally nasty and maybe even illegal, no matter how smoking hot she is. I am definitely going to find some porn star who's even hotter then my Mom to jack off too.
2. Start using that Rogaine Dad gave me
I'm only 18 and the way my hairline is receding, I'm gonna have less hair than Dad by the time I'm 21. My roome in prison was always teasing me that he has more hair on his ass than I have on the front of my head. WTF is up with that, God??? No, I promised the pastor in prison I won't get angry at God anymore. I know I need to start using that Rogaine, but it's just so embarrassing. What if one of my friends saw found it? Or a girl?? Or Mom???
3. Pick a network for my reality show
Now that I'm getting out of prison, Mom and Dad say I have to start making money, which is totally unfair. They say I have to make an honest living -- no working at a gas station or the grocery store -- which means I have to decide whether to do my reality show on VH1, E!, or MTV 2.
4. No more jacking off to pictures of my sister Brooke
For reasons, see promise number 1 above. Though this one isn't quite as gross, so I'll let myself jack off my ultra hot slutty sister a few weeks longer until I've totally over Mom.
5. Don't drive a car
Because if TMZ or some other scumbag paparazzi gets a picture of me behind the wheel, they're totally going to make a big deal out of it.

Miley and her new boyfriend shirtless!!!
Forget about Nick Jonas -- Miley's found herself a new guy with a crazy hot bod!
While plenty of other blogs have pictures of Miley "Hannah Montana" Cyrus going into Church with aspiring country singer and underwear model Justin Gaston, only Dateline Hollywood got this exclusive photo of them coming out.
And this time, Justin doffed the shirt and is just wearing a jacket unzipped to the bottom, showing off his perfectly sculpted pecs.
Though we will admit he looks a little older. Maybe all that worry about whether he'll go to heaven if he hooks up with a pureheart like Miley gave him wrinkles!

Two More Large Banks in Crisis
I feel bad for all the people whose jobs are hanging in the balance :( I know too many young adults who graduate from a reputable business school and enter the finance field banking on its monetary stability.
When Wall Street woke up Monday morning, two more of its storied firms had fallen. Lehman Brothers, burdened by billion in soured real-estate holdings, said it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after attempts to rescue the 158-year-old firm failed. Its businesses in Britain were already placed in administration, said the administrator, accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, and employees carrying boxes and bags were walking out of Lehman's London offices.
Bank of America Corp. said it is snapping up Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. in a billion all-stock transaction.
The demise of the independent Wall Street institutions came as shock waves from the 14-month-old credit crisis roiled the U.S. financial system six months after the collapse of Bear Stearns. The world's largest insurance company, American International Group Inc., also was forced into a restructuring. And a global consortium of banks, working with government officials in New York, announced a billion pool of funds to lend to troubled financial companies.The aim, according to participants who spoke to The Associated Press, was to prevent a worldwide panic on stock and other financial exchanges.
Ten banks - Bank of America, Barclays, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and UBS - each agreed to provide US billion "to help enhance liquidity and mitigate the unprecedented volatility and other challenges affecting global equity and debt markets."
The Federal Reserve also chipped in with more largesse in its emergency lending program for investment banks. The central bank announced late Sunday that it was broadening the types of collateral that financial institutions can use to obtain loans from the Fed.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the discussions had been aimed at identifying "potential market vulnerabilities in the wake of an unwinding of a major financial institution and to consider appropriate official sector and private sector responses."
The European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Swiss central bank also made more short-term credit available to banks. European stocks fell sharply, with the FTSE 100 Index off 3.42 percent in London, the CAC-40 down 4.27 percent in Paris, and Germany's blue-chip DAX 30 falling 3.38 percent. Asian stock markets also tumbled, with India's Sensex sinking more than 5 percent. Japan and Hong Kong were closed for holidays.
Financial stocks were hard hit and the dollar fell against the pound and the euro.
Futures pegged to the Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 250 points in electronic trading Sunday evening, pointing to a sharply lower open for the blue chip index Monday morning. Asian stock markets also tumbled, with India's Sensex sinking more than 5 percent. Japan and Hong Kong were closed for holidays.
The stunning weekend developments took place as voters, who rank the economy as their top concern, prepare to elect a new president in seven weeks. It likely will spur a much greater focus by presidential candidates - Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama - and members of Congress on the need for stricter financial regulation. Samuel Hayes, finance professor emeritus at Harvard Business School, said the Bush administration may get a lot of blame for the situation, which could benefit Obama.
"Just the psychological impact of this kind of failure is going to be significant," he said. "It will color people's feelings about their well-being and the integrity of the financial system."
Lehman Brothers' announcement that it is filing for bankruptcy came after all potential buyers walked away. Potential suitors were spooked by the U.S. Treasury's refusal to provide any takeover aid, as it had done six months ago when Bear Stearns faltered and earlier this month when it seized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Employees emerging from Lehman's headquarters near the heart of Times Square Sunday night carried boxes, tote bags and duffel bags, rolling suitcases, framed artwork and spare umbrellas. Many were emblazoned with the Lehman Brothers name. TV trucks lined Seventh Avenue opposite the building, while barricades at the building's main entrance attempted to keep workers and onlookers from gumming up the steady flow of pedestrians flowing in and out of Times Square. Some workers had moist eyes while a few others wept and shared hugs. Most who left the building quietly declined interviews. People snapped pictures with cameras and their phones. Observers pressed up against a police barricade drew the ire of one man who emerged from the building and shouted: "Are you enjoying watching this? You think this is funny?"

SEE PICS Jessica Alba’s a bondage babe
Strapped up ... Jessica Alba
Photo: Splash
JESSICA ALBA has done plenty of saucy shoots in her time - but none quite this shocking.
Plus, it's not even for a lads mag.
The Fantastic Four actress poses in this bondage gear on behalf of a campaign to encourage Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential elections.
But Jessica insists she didn't feel at all embarrassed during her racy shoot with celebrated snapper MARC LIDDEL.
She said: "It didn't freak me out at all. What I like about Marc's work is that he tells a story and brings real emotion to his pictures."
The gorgeous actress agreed to model for the campaign because it's vital young Americans get down to the polls.
Jessica added: "If you don't register and vote and make a difference, and hopefully change the bad things that are happening in our country, you are essentially just binding and muzzling yourself."
One thing's for sure - Jessica is no pitbull...

Phelps: Paparazzi should leave me alone at Playboy Club, Video Music Awards
Why won't the paparazzi leave Michael Phelps alone?? The Olympic champion tells Dateline Hollywood that since returning from Beijing, he's been trying to avoid the press by unwinding at some of his favorite low key hang outs, but has been deluged with photographers and even amateurs using cell phone cameras.
"There was so much media around me at the Olympics that I've just wanted to get a little personal time at places like the Playboy Club in Las Vegas and the MTV Video Music Awards in Hollywood," he explained. "How do the paparazzi even find me there? How am I supposed to get any privacy?!"
Phelps said he was particularly offended that someone at the Playboy Club in the Palms Casino took cell phone pictures of him talking to a young waitress who wanted his autograph. In order to shield her from the unwanted attention, the 13-time gold medalist added, he attempted to use his hand to block her ass from the camera. The photo, seen at left, was still leaked to the website Radar.
In the next few weeks, Phelps added, he hopes the paparazzi and amateur photogs will not be bothering him during visits to a beach in Malibu and several clothing stores he has heard about on Robertson Avenue in Beverly Hills.
