Filling in for Bridget today: Chad Vader

What can I say... I'm just so pooped from liveblogging last night, then visiting with Mark Udall today, then I have to buy chinchilla food on the way home and can't wait for a bubble bath. Wah. So sit back and enjoy a funny YouTube that also has great production value: the tale of Darth Vader's "less-talented, less-charismatic younger brother":

Rest in peace, Paul Newman

Bridget Johnson

The guy could act, and got an Oscar ("The Color of Money") and an honorary Oscar to prove it, but Paul Newman also knew how to love, and how to give back. His loss is felt more than just in Hollywood today.

One of my Hollywood compatriots, Dirty Harry, has written the ultimate obituary here.

(Incidentally, Newman turned down the part of Dirty Harry and recommended Clint Eastwood fill the bill instead... everything turned out truly as it should.)

Jokes about Palin executing her own daughter aren't nice

Bridget Johnson

Good LORD, this campaign's getting beyond ugly!! Pigs and lipstick aside, check out this tidbit from the UK about Russell Brand, the "comedian" who hosted the MTV Video Music Awards the other night, complaining that the evil MTV censors made him pull some jokes. Like this gem:

"He said: 'I had John McCain gags pulled. And they asked me to tone down the gags about Sarah Palin. I wanted to say she was forcing her teenage daughter to have a baby because she is so anti-abortion.

'But also, as a Republican she is pro-execution so she is going to give her the electric chair for being a little slut.

'They weren't keen on that one.'"

Congrats, MTV, for having some taste. Now about honoring Brit-Brit's music...
