16 Year Old Sailing Around The World - A teen sailor named Abby Sunderland/Abby Sutherland who is a 16 year old from Thousand Oaks may have accidentally sailed into a storm in the Southern Indian Ocean while attempting a solo sail around the world. During the course of the events, she lost contact with her family who was never able to re-establish communication with her after the storm was over. She had signaled an emergency beacon after her satellite phone was no longer able to contact her family. She had left on a 40 foot, orange and yellow racing yacht named “Wild Eyes.” She had been out on the sea since January. She had found a lot of different criticisms on her journey from other sailors because her voyage was going to be taking her into the Indian Ocean at the onset of the winter storm session. It was dangerous, and she definitely knew that, but she was an experienced sailor who knew what she was doing on the ocean. She was in what was considered to be the most difficult part of...

Barbara Boxer's Hair Style - Caught on an open mic as she was getting ready to go on CNN Wednesday, California's new Republican senatorial nominee, Carly Fiorina, may have set a new record for most catty remarks per minute. She repeatedly questioned her fellow Republican Meg Whitman's "bizarre" decision to be interviewed by Fox host Sean Hannity and cracked herself up by mocking the physical appearance of her Democratic opponent, incumbent Sen. Barbara Boxer. Boxer's hairstyle, Fiorina laughed, is "so yesterday." But here's what's so yesterday: Fiorina's whole "Mean Girls" approach to female competition. Even as commentators across the country were saluting Fiorina as part of the unprecedented wave of female Republican candidates who'd prevailed at the polls on Tuesday night, she was behaving like a throwback, criticizing both her opponent's looks and her own party's gubernatorial nominee's judgment in terms tha...

Chris Brown's New Girlfriend Jasmine Sanders - Twitpic-ed a snapshot of the 25-year-old model -- and his new girlfriend -- earlier this week with the simple caption "Chillin'" (outside an Urban Outfitters, no less). According to her modeling specs, Jasmine is 5'9 with blue eyes, 34-24-33 measurements, wears a size 4 dress and size 11(!) shoe. It also seems she has an ex-boyfriend who is eager to get her back.

Ann Curry Speech Gaffe - “Today Show”’s host Ann Curry is in some hot water after forgetting to fact check a recent graduation address. She was invited to give the commencement address at Wheaton College in Massachusetts over the weekend. During her address, she told the students how fond she was of the programs that are offered at the school, and also went on to name some of their most famous alumni, including Billy Graham, Lesley Stahl, Wes Craven and Todd Beamer. Unfortunately for Curry, Lesley Stahl attended a different Wheaton College that is located in Illinois. After she was made aware of the mistake, she wrote a letter or appology to the school. “I am mortified by my mistake, and can only hope the purity of my motive, to find a way to connect with the graduates and to encourage them to a life of service, will allow you to forgive me,” Curry wrote to the school.
