On A Side Note
Hoffa search turns up deliciousness
After several concrete tips, the FBI took the search for former Teamsters leader Jimmy Hoffa to a farm in Michigan. Hoffa has been missing for 31 years and was last seen in the parking lot of a restaurant just 17 miles away from the farm in Milford. The search for Hoffa’s body has led to tips around the country and rumors have been floating around for years that he is buried underneath the Meadowlands in northern New Jersey. Milford, like most towns, has capitalized on the recent attention brought to their town and local entrepreneurs have begun selling everything from T-shirts to buried body inspired cupcakes. While the townspeople are having a good laugh, they should seriously reconsider their joke since they could literally have been eating food that was fertilized with the remains of Hoffa. My carrot tastes like Teamsters!
Brad lets down the French
Brad Pitt decided not to attend the Cannes Film Festival this year because baby’s momma Angelina Jolie is expecting their first child any day now. The baby will be the first for Pitt and Jolie-not counting the many adopted children Jolie has accumulated over the years-and came as a shock to the celeb-obsessed world since the news of the baby’s conception occurred soon after Pitt’s divorce from Jennifer Aniston. Pitt, who stars in the upcoming film Babel, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (21 Grams), wished he could have attended the festival, but his priorities were with Jolie. It is not reported what the name of the baby will be or whether or not they will adopt it out to an African family in a “Pay it Forward” type situation.
Stern settles with CBS Radio
Shock Jock Howard Stern settled for an undisclosed amount with CBS Radio after a long battle over CBS’s feeling that Stern breached his contract when publicizing Sirius Satellite Radio during his final months at CBS. Stern, who signed a $500 million deal with Sirius, voiced his displeasure with CBS and his excitement over his change in venues. Stern, who has become one of the richest radio stars in history could not be reached for comment, but we’re sure flatulence would be involved, and possibly some lesbian midgets.
Stones postpone tour
The Rolling Stones postponed their European Tour after Keith Richards recently suffered a head injury and needed more time to recover. Richards suffered a fall while vacationing in Fiji and the 73-year-old rocker needs a little time to recover. Fifteen tour dates have been postponed. So if you are in Europe in mid-July look for a Richards who will most likely be a little harder to understand than before-that is to say speaking even more gibberish than before.
