Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O'Connell expecting twins

Which would be utterly useless news, except for that it gives me an excuse to run O'Connell's funniest send-up of Tom Cruise and Scientology EVER:

Bob Novak diagnosed with brain tumor

Well, Wonkette, don't you feel bad now for calling "prince of darkness" "800-year-old columnist Bob Novak, the Last Scion of Bilbo Baggins" a "belligerent motorist troll" who feels "vaguely bad" about hitting a homeless guy with his car last week and then driving off? Think there might be a reason why he wasn't cognizant of what happened? Got any more choice words, or is it radio silence?

Novak's brain tumor (no word on if it is malignant) was discovered Sunday, and the columnist is putting his journalistic endeavors on hold for an indefinite "but God willing, not too lengthy period."

'Qantas never crashed'

Well, it's gonna if parts keep flying off the suckers. Or, in the second emergency landing within a week, if doors fail to close:

"A QANTAS flight bound for Melbourne was forced to return to Adelaide Airport last night when the landing gear doors failed to close.

The Boeing 767-338 - flight QF692 - was forced to turn around 20 minutes after take-off about 5.40pm and it landed safely back in Adelaide at 6.15pm.

The incident came only three days after a Qantas Boeing 747-400 made an emergency landing in Manila after a gaping hole appeared in its fuselage.

Disgruntled passengers on the Melbourne flight last night told The Advertiser they would refuse to fly with Qantas again following the airline's second mid-air scare since Friday."

Neither will the Rainman! The gaping, Volkswagen-sized hole in the first plane, by the way, is suspected to have been caused by an exploding oxygen tank. Don't put that mask over your face and tighten!
