Political scandal, IRS, and of course, celebrities

Because Oscars are so yesterday, Oscar news have been kept at a minimum.

1. Couple alert! Jake Gyllenhaal and Keira Knightley have been spotted looking coupley at Soho House two consecutive nights. (Page Six)

2. Here is the picture circulating around the internet of Mariah Carey's attempt to eat Kimora Lee at the Soul Train awards:


3. Lindsay Lohan proves herself to be the epitome of Long Island in these shots with her and her girls, drinking, imitating eating out, and "posing" with bongs.


4. According to the cool bouncer who let me in free, the BlackBerry is still very much alive and making lives miserable. BlackBerry's maker, Research in Motion (aka RIM, *teehee*) will pay $612.5 million to patent holder NTP to settle the dispute.

5. Singapore is so much cooler than us, as it will building a $68m DNA-resembling bridge. The helix will link to a massive new tourist development, containing two casino-resorts and a 558-foot Ferris wheel (that should be 96.3 of me's in case your visual imagination sucks like mine). Their goal is to attract tourists--really nerdy, dorky tourists. (AP)

6. For the past six months, Carnival has been housing Katrina victims in their cruise ships. Who knows what Jeb Bush's involvement in this deal was? Carnival executive Ric Cooper, proposal-initiator, merely contributed $65k to Fl's GOP in '02 and $50k to the RNC in '04. Carnival's defense of the deal is the $236m earned covers the revenue it usually gets for the 120,000 passengers it could book. The contract expires this week. (AP)

7. CNN's morning news reported today that IRS is looking into taxing Oscar goody bags. Sweet, swag tax!
