Hell: Cubicles, Stilettos, and Kristin Cavallari

1. Brad Renfro, of "kid from The Client" fame, pleads guilty to DUI charges (his third) after just going to court on Monday for heroin possession charges. (TMZ)

2. Fortunelaments on the evolution of the "cubby" from being born in the 1960s as the "Action Office" to being the bastard son of Herman Miller's researcher Robert Propst. Spurred by economics, the cubicle becomes a plague on America, draining the souls of forty million workers. Yet Julie Schlosser reports that business will evolve out of the cubicle-society via telecommuting, more face-face meetings, and an increase in impersonal workspace. But as the dark force wanes, will it inspire as much top-notch ironic comedies in the vein of The Office, Office Space and Dilbert?

3. In his second day of testimony yesterday, Andy Fastow claims that Ken Lay, ex-Enron CEO, lied to investors about the company, saying all was well when it was drowning in debt. "The company is probably in the strongest and best shape it has ever been. There are no surprises," Lay had said in an August interview. (Daily News)

4. The cover of this week's US Weekly announces that Nick Lachey hooked up with Kristin Cavallari...uh, the girl from Laguna Beach, y'know, MTV's version of The O.C. Way to show your ex-wife, who has only been attached to Adam Levine, Jude Law, and other above-C-listers.

5. Today was Glamour's competition of stiletto-clad racers. Women competed for €10,000 in their 75-meter run of pain. Winner can be found here if you read Dutch, um, which I'm assuming it is.
