Stuffed Jalapenos

~ If you thought politics was boring stuff, you've gotta read about the link between New York governor Mark Spitzer and a high-class prostitution ring, which charged between US$1,000 and US$5,500 per hour.

Mark Spitzer has made a name for himself as a tough attorney-general, and now the current governor of New York, who used tough tactics to go after shady businessmen and their deals, as well as, get this, prostitution rings. So you know that there are lots of people celebrating the downfall of the man who was called Mr Clean.

Will he resign? Will this have any knock-on effect on his political ally Hillary Clinton in her presidential bid? And just what do you get for US$5,500 an hour?

~ I'm sure Tom Cruise is not keen on the resurfacing of an old story, with yet more details.

There was lots of gozz about how he had handpicked Katie Holmes (after Jessica Alba said no, but you know that), but now a former Scientologist has revealed more details about his 'options'.

Click here to find out more about this story that just keeps going and going and going...love it!

~ Some of you might have heard about this flash mob exercise in randomness in NYC's Grand Central Station last Saturday. Enjoy the cool/freaky show.



~ Madonna was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by her latest collaborator, Justin Timberlake, in a ceremony in NYC on Monday night.

There's been some measure of media chatter about her induction, and whether she's worthy of the honour. I'm not about to get into that here, but you can read the New York Time's story on it here.

By the way, I love that she wore a one-piece under her see-through tunic.

In related news, Justin Timberlake co-wrote and sings on 5 songs on the new Madonna album "Hard Candy". You could say this is Justin's 'bridge' album before his new record drops, which some are speculating will happen later this year.

I'm off to dinner after a snack of stuffed jalapenos. You have a good Tuesday evening.
